American Crops
Chapter 1032:American Crops
The time for the rise of the Navy is too short, only a few years, from the Northern Song to spend a huge effort, or even a huge cost, to get the current population, more than 70 million, with the natural population growth, may soon be close to 100 million, but this 100 million people is not healthy.
In the past five years, more than 10 million people have been born, that is to say, infants and young children occupy the vast majority, and for a long time in the future, this pattern will always be held, because the continuous expansion of the Navy population, especially two years ago, suddenly increased by 35 million people.
The huge population, brought stable work, when family and friends have arrived, they have received a stable wage income, then more stable.
For the Chinese tradition, after food and clothing, or even after well-off, is crazy to make children, anyway, for women, as long as they take care of the family, naturally have men in the past to make money, this premise, children, more children is inevitable.
Not to mention, the current Navy, for more children, there are rewards, this reward is also a lot, some women have calculated that if a year, or more than a year to have a child, the reward is simply a lot, not necessarily much worse than work.
In itself, having children is their own thing, not only do not have to spend more money, but also reward this is difficult to explain the stimulation of Chinese people who are accustomed to the family, as long as there is no problem with the body, having children, almost like eating and sleeping, has become a common thing.
This is also the root of the Navy, the population soared, but these people, not the use of the population, even from the establishment of the Navy, the largest are only eight or nine years old, these people are just enrolled, can not be useful.
However, with the passage of time, this part of the newly born population grew up, it was different.
Before the Navy's learning, there are supplementary relationships, with the least amount of time to cultivate a group of people who can use, night school and training has become the key.
This can be a certain extent, reduce the pressure on the Navy, let the Navy, in a short period of time, concentrated a large number of people can be used, but these talents, they have such a defect, can become successful engineers, scholars, but really able to stand in the perspective of cattle, is rare.
Those who not only need talent, but also need opportunities and knowledge reserves, if the cattle are strong, if they receive systematic education from a young age, and use 10 years, 20 years, accumulate enough knowledge reserves, they can sublimate, not only in the current metallurgy, become big, in metal, and some related industries, can also be done, so that he plays a greater role, rather than present.
In the future, when a new generation grows up, it is very critical for the Navy, with stronger stability, and full of active development, even science and technology, which has reached a certain height.
There is really a 50 years, even 100 years of steady development of the time, for China, that is a rare good thing, in terms of the current population growth rate, there may really be 500 million people, the most important thing is that with this initial stage of development, there is really a shortage of population and food, for China, it is no longer a problem.
With ocean-going ships, even the original Spanish galleons, had the ability to cross the sea, let alone the subsequent ship shearing, which was faster, but in fact, the most terrible was the ship of the Ship Institute.
The role of the ship not only allows humans to change the ocean and use the ocean to a higher degree, but also can generate a lot of new things, which will be three-dimensional for the development of the entire ocean.
Sailing, more is the use, but to the perspective of the ship, from the beginning of use, gradually changed, so when humans face the ocean, more calm, from a certain extent, do not have to adhere to the impact of the weather.
After the completion of the manufacture of the steam engine, the large-scale popularization and production of the steam engine, the steam engine can not be said to be very advanced, but equivalent to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is no problem.
In the late 19th century science and technology, actually built more than 10,000 tons of warships, more than 30,000 tons of ships, those but actually hit the ocean cargo ship, in the war period, the United States with the highest efficiency, the production of the standard of 10,000 tons of giant ships, and even support the United States across the sea, across the Atlantic to fight, the United States has a strong productivity base is one aspect, but a large number of ships, is also an important aspect.
The emergence of the ship, under certain circumstances, solved the problem of transportation, but also solved the problem of rapid transportation, but the ship still needs to be developed, or vigorously developed.
Even if the technology progresses to a considerable extent, it is only a sail fleet, he relies on the weather, once there is bad weather, or not very cooperative weather, it is not very smooth, but the ship, but in most of the time, can sail smoothly.
The Navy in the steelmaking technology, because the emergence of cattle, has entered a considerable degree, even for the surface passivation, as well as coating and demagnetization above, there have been considerable progress, has already had the basis of the production of ships.
However, the ship contains a high scientific and technological strength, even if the sub-projects, the fixed navy has reached, or even exceeded the completion of the task, but in the integration of above, or not.
At present, the progress is only to add iron ribs on the wooden boat, and the installation of one or two steam engines, as an auxiliary power, with the sail, the real all-steel ship, it will take some time.
The Navy has a certain foundation in the promotion of education, from the beginning to now, almost seven or eight years, in the seven or eight years, has formed a series of systems, from technical education to university education, and even the first batch, the second batch of college students, has passed through the research institute, and various technical colleges, learning into the system.
However, China to develop the scientific research system is too much, in these many scientific research systems, there are two or three people who are vigorously compared with the cattle, but there is no more, at least, in the ship, in the ship this aspect is not,
Under the attention of Zhao Xin, the speed of development of the Navy is fast enough, and the system that has been formed in all aspects of science and technology has allowed the basic scientific research level of the Navy to reach and exceed the level of the end of the 19th century.
However, the development of the ship, it takes a little time, he involves too many things, in the laboratory, all-steel warships, can float up, and even use steam as a power to promote progress, but to form a real, high-speed, efficient ship, it will take time.
Not now, not necessarily later, in the years of the establishment of the Navy, the development of science and technology, has always been beyond the conventional speed of development, this speed is shocking, almost every 1 year will have a huge difference, 3 years a small change, 5 years a big change.
Five years ago, the fixed navy was only modified Chinese-style sailing ships, and it was just beginning to build ships on a large scale in the established navy, but five years later, the fixed navy's speed of flight shearing has been able to travel around the American continent at a speed of about 20 knots.
Not necessarily in all walks of life above, there will be such a development, but in the future, there are really 50 years, no, it should be said that it is about 10 years, not only the ship will gradually mature, others can also, even the appearance of the aircraft may not be.
In that case, the rapid development of traffic will make the size of the earth smaller, and then it will be better to expand the Navy.
In fact, at present, the expansion on land, after the emergence of the steam train, has been solved most of the time, if it can be connected to the railway on the land controlled by the navy, then it can be from the subcontinent of Europe, to any place, at most in Siberia and Central Asia to limit, where the desertification, and the northern ice sheet, is the forbidden area of life, it is not easy to cross, even if it is the same level of science and technology as the navy.
In the direction of development, and under the premise of expanding, going to these forbidden areas of life is not the best choice.
For China, as long as the development is rapid, expansion is necessary, but also not necessary, the whole world, can be with China's location, occupied by the land must be beautiful, really not too much, the Navy at present, there is no external threat, first good development, after the Chinese this piece to eat, in the consideration of other.
Of course, Southeast Asia must fight, the future, after obtaining rubber from the Americas, Southeast Asia is the best place to grow, the future, Southeast Asia's rubber, in the world's output, but also occupy a considerable share, so natural plantations, how not to use.
Those Southeast Asians, let them grow food, do the hard work, I am afraid some too difficult for them, but planting rubber, this itself has been through, but also proved good, of course, is the combination of Zhulian, so on, in accordance with the various policies of the previous life, is the most correct choice.
The war in Southeast Asia has been opened, the goal has been transferred, at this time, there is no need to stop the discovery of the news of the Americas, and then it is not important, really until the Americas are found, get three crops, and then come back to plant, show the effect, less than half a year, or wait until the role of the real Americas appears., ,
But can not be fanfare, the early reward is to be, all the designated Navy has promised the reward, all the full distribution, and Zhao Xin and took out the reward, this reward is for the three major crops, this reward is also very high, and this amount of order, not now Zhao letter issued, but before, has been arranged.
The reason for this is to ensure efficiency, if it is found that after the discovery of the Americas, from the Americas to the transmission of information to the fixed navy, it takes at least 40 days, and then from the designated navy to the Americas, and 40 days, if the middle is slightly delayed, it is three or four months, which has always been an unbearable for the navy.
At the same time, in the process of exploration, in this team of brigades, some people know that to find the three major crops, not only pictures, and even some detailed descriptions.
There will be no one in the Northern Song, and no one will know the basic appearance of this plant, and the source of these pictures can only be Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin came from a farmer, grew up in the mountains, and admitted to the children of Peking University, he was quite clear about all kinds of agricultural work, corn sweet potatoes, these three most common plants in the mountains, not only the overall shape is very clear, even the appearance of each plant, also very clear.
Drawing a more accurate figure, although Zhao Xin is not learning art, there is no some art skills, but through the card system to promote, his physical quality, far more than ordinary people, not only the strength and endurance is greater, even control ability, but also far above the ordinary, this case, of course, drawing of 89 is not far away.
In this pattern, he painted at least 10 sets, respectively, in the hands of 10 plant experts who explored the fleet, accompanied by the intensification of the development of the American continent, of course, these plant experts will also go to the American continent.
If he wanted to, he would even draw rubber, tobacco, and some plants of American specialties, but unfortunately, he was not in the tropics, he had never seen rubber trees, some other American cash crops, he may have heard the name, perhaps, even the name has not been heard, in this case, there is no way to draw out those things.
In the ordinary life, see the rubber, which is a little troublesome, can only slowly look for, but the rubber also has the characteristics, his branches are relatively large, once cut, will secrete white juice, this is also easier to distinguish, tobacco leaves will not work.
Nor does it mean that there is no way to find these things, but it is not so convenient to look for it according to the map.
However, the Indian habit of smoking is also a long time, as long as the Indian contact, should be able to distinguish these things.
Although Zhao Xin does not want to open the tobacco project, this is a huge Shanghai for the body of the people, 2 but he can not let go of this, huge interests, prepare in advance, do some training and research, the future, if you really need to open, or be done by others, then you also need to do, such a money-making weapon, can not be in the hands of others.
In addition to tobacco, other things, Zhao Xin did not think much, good, even the American continent has been found, the crops of the Americas, in this era, has not yet recognized its role, to find only a matter of time, their priority, is under the three major crops in the Americas, do not worry too much, found the icing, can not find, it does not matter.
