I'm afraid that no matter how much people thought about it before, they wouldn't have thought that Zhao Xin would give such an answer.

What the hell is the fishing boat, the river transportation of the Northern Song Dynasty is extremely developed, entrusting the five major water systems connected by the Grand Canal, in the core area, almost by virtue of the Grand Canal, into most of the places in the Northern Song Dynasty, the sand boats and transport boats on the river surface, I don't know how many, in this case, what is the existence of the fishing boat.

In everyone's impression, the fishing boat may be the bamboo raft on the small river, or the flap on the seaside, not to mention ten thousand materials, even if it is a fishing boat with two or three hundred materials, it is very rare.

This is also equivalent to the harvest, in the river, although there are catches, but after all, there are a few, more than 50 boats, if fishing, may be decades, or even hundreds of years, may not be able to recover the cost of the boat.

No matter how bad the ship is, as long as it can get involved in transportation, it is natural that you can get income, and most of the people who can have such a boat are not bad for money and will not go fishing.

Those who really fish on rivers and lakes are the lowest level of society, and they don't even have constant production, they don't even have fields, they can only barely make a living by fishing, and the fishing boats they use are almost all in tatters.

Even 200 materials and 300 materials can be called giant ships, and they jumped to 12,000 materials at once, or all of them, and now, everyone can't figure it out.

I can't figure out what to do, when everyone wrote and made demands, Zhao Xin pressed it down with a tough attitude, and in the end, he forcibly passed this matter, and this matter was decided.

After the Dinghai Navy was opened up, Zhao Xin has always let the Dinghai Navy develop relatively calmly, even if it is an order, it is also imperceptible, and it is rare to give such a forcible order.

But the dignity of Dinghaihou is here, as long as the order is forcibly ordered, it means that this matter cannot be changed.

Some clever ones died down at once, the canal was about to be built, and soon it was about to be navigable, and on the canal, a large number of docks were also being built.

The speed of the navy is not just talking, as long as the construction begins, the speed will definitely increase to a very high level, 20 ships, at most a few months of the first opportunity, wait a few months.

These influential and powerful people died down, and the rest were small shrimp soldiers, at most they were people with little influence, and the discussion about the ship suddenly became fanfare, and then disappeared because of Zhao Xin's toughness, and Ding Haijun fell into calm again.

However, many people are also thinking about the role of such an unprecedented large fishing boat, or 20 at once?

In fact, Zhao Xin, at the very beginning, really didn't make a choice, otherwise, it had been set in advance as early as when the Dinghai Shipyard was opened, not now, when the controversy arises, it is forcibly passed.

The ocean, for the navy, is very important, restraint is the future, Zhao Xin can open a canal for the ocean, and build a large number of shipyards, for shipbuilding, increase investment, so that capital and technology to this aspect.

But after all, this is a matter of the future, and Zhao Xin's mind is more focused on other places.

At present, the basic strength of the navy, population, technology, and even science and technology is basically enough, and the popularization of education has also begun, but because of the inherent concept, it is still based on the Four Books and Five Classics, but in Zhao Xin's efforts, new schools have been established, and mathematics, Gewu and chemistry have been added.

For this reason, it also caused a big mess, an old master with considerable influence was sent out of the Dinghai Navy by the family.

This is also due to the fact that the construction of the Dinghai Navy is still short, full of calculations, only two years, this old master, even if it is an influence, here, that is, more than two years, the impact is there, once the upper level is uprooted from the top down, all the problems are solved quickly, and the twists and turns are quickly calmed down.

Besides, Zhao Xin did not use bloody methods, the old master's family lost the opportunity, but they received a good reward, two years, considerable wealth, even if they returned to their hometown, they could live a rich life for a lifetime, and there was no problem with Dingjun.

From this moment on, the educational reform of the Dinghai Navy was, in fact, accelerated, with the addition of various new disciplines, and even for the sake of some students from poor backgrounds, they did not take the imperial examination or the high-level route, but technical education that combined basic and skills.

Among the newly added disciplines, mathematics is not to mention, mathematics is one of the six arts of gentlemen, because of the emergence of the imperial examination, coupled with the study of mathematics, it has not entered to a certain extent, and the quality of students is not the same, it is not included in the examination subjects, and it has gradually declined.

Mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences, and many phenomena in nature can be understood through mathematics, which is nothing more than the different levels of observation and data provided.

This is a very basic science, Zhao Xin, for the time being, only the mathematical knowledge at the beginning of high school, and the knowledge of college is relatively simple, so it is not listed.

Pure mathematics, general mathematics, geometry, and number theory and other basic disciplines, which have gone through thousands of years in the history of the world, have this as the foundation, for the improvement of naval mathematics, is very terrible.

Gewu and Chemistry, which are newly added, can be taken as electives, not compulsory,

For ordinary people, the imperial examination, jumping into the peasant gate, from a farmer to a scholar, becoming an official master, this may be what everyone is looking forward to, but for ordinary people, they are more realistic, unless it is a few ghosts who are obsessed, and others do not think that they can take this road.

Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, where there were not many learning opportunities, families with large populations would send their children to be apprentices in order to learn a trade to ensure that they could support themselves in the future.

A little discerning people can see how many people pass the imperial examination every year, the triennial imperial examination, the real jinshi is so much, and the whole country is only how much, if you don't learn before, there is no way, the farmers, for the study of some exclusive skills, is still very active.

There are too many people at home, and they can't settle down at home, so they will choose to send them out to learn technology, because there is a technology, and it will be much easier to make a living.

Now the Navy has a high salary base, but some people with exclusive technology have higher salaries.

Where do these exclusive technologies come from, isn't it Gewu and chemistry, especially some new chemical fields, exclusive and technology, very important, these are the foundation.

When the power of example comes out, the rest is left without much guidance.

Sharpening knives does not mistakenly chop wood, such a simple truth, everyone knows that in the Dinghai, the intermediate technical salary is higher than the basic one, and this range is very large.

The Northern Song Dynasty didn't pay much attention to technicians, and these people with a skill were at most able to eat and live a good life.

However, in Dingjun, the exclusive technical personnel get more than 300 per month, which is very simple, and at the same time, when there are a little inventions and creations, and they have the ability to undertake the research and development of a certain project, the salary is greatly increased.

Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible, and on the premise of survival without money, everything you talk about is false.

Because of the actual needs, Dinghai was dominated by factories and large-scale manufacturing enterprises, and sales were spread throughout the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even a small innovation can bring huge benefits if the yield is high enough.

For example, on a product with an annual sales volume of 50 million pieces, the cost of reducing 1 piece directly represents the income of 50,000 pieces.

There are many similar innovations, similar to the myth of Niu Dali, although there is none, but it is a little smaller, and there are many in various industries.

A bull vigorously made the steel of the entire Dinghai Navy stand up, and with a strong backbone, whether it was Zhao Xin or the adjutant below, they all hoped that there would be more and more such technical officials.

If the technology is good, you can be an official, this may be just a good wish in the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the Ding Navy, it is real, Zhao Xin set up a technical position in the Ding Navy, which is currently only five products, a total of 4 positions, for the time being, only Niu Dali is also alone, but the feeling of one step to the sky does attract everyone.

The fifth grade may be very far away for most people, but what about the sixth, seventh, or even ninth grades?

According to the standards of the navy, the main person in charge of a district-level or bureau-level laboratory is at least nine grades, and even eight grades if it is higher.

How many of them are there?

According to the statistics just made, the Navy currently has 17 key-level laboratories, 120 military-level laboratories, and more than 1,000 district-level laboratories.

In a city of 2 million people, there are at least 6,000 technical officials, and such 6,000 families are not very conspicuous in the entire Dinghai Navy and 400,000 families, but they have barely reached more than 1.5 thousandths.

Interests, future, these are all done by Zhao Xin, and in addition, at present, in Dinghai, the difficulty of developing a certain technology is far less difficult than that in other places.

It's very simple and simple, Zhao Xin values it, the entire Dinghai Navy's technology tree is basically set down and lit up by Zhao Xin, even if he doesn't know how a certain product is made, but he knows his performance form, and there are basic theories.

With this basic theory, coupled with my own ingenuity and unsparing support, many people can create good inventions or improve existing projects.

For example, clocks, this is the current new product of the Dinghai Navy.

A clock, to put it bluntly, is a tool that releases power at a constant speed step by step with the help of circlips, and with the help of gears and other things, it runs automatically and indicates the time.

Time division, in later generations, is a very simple, a large number of mechanical watches, electronic watches, can indicate the time, and even the appearance of mobile phones, so that watches are no longer items that everyone has.

In fact, all time originates from the corona, whether it is China or other ancient civilizations, the corona is a very common timekeeping tool.

Corona and Gui watch, in ancient times, in the face of dark night and cloudy days, there was no way, and later chose water leaks and hourglasses, with the help of which water and sand flow freely to distinguish time. ，

This method cannot be said to be wrong, but for the environment, there are other aspects of the impact, it is relatively large, and the error is also large.

China has not developed much in this regard, but in the West, there are mechanical watches, which use the elastic force of springs to push machinery to rotate.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty in China, there was a similar arrangement, and the hydrodynamic armillary sphere was one of the peaks.

On this basis, the time is accurately determined, and then a spring that releases power at a uniform speed, and then the ability to rotate mechanically makes the hands rotate at a uniform speed on the dial, which is an accurate time tool.

Dinghai has all the foundations for the development of mechanization, craftsmen with higher technology, excellent steel, and some processing tools may not be able to make them, but the watches of such exquisite skills in later generations can be made out of relatively large table clocks, which can be used under the action of the pendulum, and can be stably timed.

Time, in many ways, has a great role, for example, in the measurement of the sextant, if there is an accurate tool to determine the time, the results of his test will be much more accurate, at the same time, a timing tool, for factories and technical positions, is also quite useful.

When the scale of the navy has developed to a certain extent, and there is no way to continue to expand the scale for the time being, and take the road of simple replication, then digging deep inward has become an inevitable choice.

The key is how to reduce internal resistance, increase overall efficiency, and enhance the overall strength of the entire Ding Navy.

Now the development of the Dinghai Navy is getting better and better than before, and the influx of a large number of manpower and talents has made the Dinghai Navy more vigorous than before.

Let these personnel integrate into the construction of the Dinghai Navy, and give full play to the strength of each of them, which is equivalent to enhancing the strength of the Dinghai Navy manufacturing industry, in such training, it is divided into two aspects, one is discipline and obedience, and there are some professional knowledge professors, and the other aspect is the adjustment of physical fitness.

It cannot be said that industrialization, the basic physical fitness is useless, precisely because of the large-scale increase in labor intensity of industrialization, so that the quality requirements are more comprehensive.

It was in this deep digging that Zhao Xin discovered a huge flaw in the quality of the people of the Dinghai Navy, and it was this flaw that promoted the previous order.

This defect is very simple, among the Dinghai, the rate of night blindness is as high as eighty out of nine, that is to say, out of 100 people, only 13 people do not have night blindness, this proportion is a bit large, and it is also the most unacceptable to Zhao Xin.
