Otherworldly Castle Era

　　 At the end of the fourteenth year of the apocalypse, after the mid-year dynasty meeting, Yang Song returned to the study to sort out the information.

　　 In terms of population, the population of Xia Guo has reached 17 million, which is one step closer to the goal of 30 million.

　　 In terms of counties and towns, Xia Guo has a total of seven counties, including 25 counties directly under it, and two islands in two passes. There are hundreds of villages and towns.

　　 In terms of science and education, there are two military schools, two universities, one in each county for higher education, one for each county in high school, one for each town for beginners, and one for each village in the middle school.

　　In terms of production, agriculture and animal husbandry, textiles, smelting, and minerals are all thriving. Among them, several crops such as black beans in this world are gradually accepted as non-staple food by the people of this country, and the system can finally use the world's food to recruit refugees.

In terms of economy, Guihua City is the only window for Xia’s import and export, which has brought a lot of benefits to Xia’s country. With the efforts of various factories and businessmen, the tax revenue of the country’s business has steadily increased year by year. Sixty-six million two summer coins.

In terms of construction, the most conspicuous aspect of water conservancy and transportation is the rise of railways, which gave the people of Xia a glance, and the newly recruited people are completely unfit for the life of Xia. This makes the government pay back after the refugees are recruited. Some basic common sense training should be given to it.

　　 In terms of power, Xia Guo already has several machine manufacturing plants. As more and more machinery and equipment are produced, steam engines have been spread all over the north and south of Xia Guo, making steam equipment used in all walks of life.

　　 Steel direction, in the 14th year of the Apocalypse, Xia Guo’s steel output has soared to 460,000 tons. Among them, 160,000 tons were expanded within half a year after the completion of the Beining Railway. From this we can see how convenient and fast transportation capacity plays a role in the development of productivity.

In the navy, the exploration fleet and offshore defense fleet have been fully established. There are a total of one super battleship, two battleships, four fast battleships, eight cruisers, nine destroyers, fifteen frigates, and six supply ships. . There are 7,400 combat personnel, and the total number is nearly 10,000.

In the army, Di Qing led the first brigade, Yan Ren led the second brigade, Huo Qubing led the cavalry brigade, Zhang Wei led the city guards, Zhou Wu led the imperial guards, and Wang Wei led the Jin Yiwei. There were six armies with a total number of five. Eight thousand people. The number of militiamen and reserve officers on the register reaches more than one million.

In terms of intelligence, Yang Yi, who is in charge of domestic intelligence, does the most work to ensure that no one dares to violate Yang Song's will; for external intelligence, Chen Ping has established a complete intelligence system south of the Balong River, allowing foreign forces to escape every move. But Xia Guo's eyes.

　　 In terms of judiciary, the constitution was revised and perfected once. Because Yang Song became king, all the terms in the constitution in this regard were revised once; the perfection mainly concerns some regulations of the industrial age.

　　 Yang Song after reading the summary information, especially when he saw that the refugees who had been recruited were not adapted to the current life of Xia Guo, if it were not for the goal of 30 million, he had the idea of ​​reducing or even stopping the recruitment of the refugees.

The ten-year policy of encouraging childbirth has allowed Xia Guo to have a rapid increase in the number of newborns born every year. Of course, the financial expenditure in this area is also increasing every year. Together with the cost of training new recruits, Xia Guo’s finances have never been for so many years. There has never been a balance.

　　 And with the rapid increase of Xia’s population, Yang Song’s private property development has been unable to keep up with the development of Xia’s education. As a result, Yang Song decided to use most of the profits from state-owned assets for the development of education.

　　 As for Yang Song’s private property, under Yang Zhong’s suggestion, he decided to expand the industry so that the king Yang Song has more property to control.

　　 is like the minister’s suggestion to expand the palace. Yang Song doesn’t have enough money, and he doesn’t have any extra money for construction, and Yang Song doesn’t want to use government taxes on these places.

　　 Every financial income has its purpose. Based on the current situation of Xia Guo, there are so many places where money is used and there is no deficit. You can know how strong financial ability Zhang Juzheng is in charge of finances and taxes.

　　 We must know that the growth of wealth is not as simple as turning on the printing press. In the final analysis, it is just an external expression of productivity, a quantification of resource ownership. Therefore, no matter how many banknotes are printed, it is useless and will only cause inflation and financial crisis.

Regarding inflation, Zhang Juzheng once suggested that as long as the annual inflation rate should be controlled within 10%, there would be no problem. At that time, Yang Song asked about the pros and cons, but Zhang Juzheng’s answer made him give up cutting the leeks. behavior.

　　 At that time, Zhang Juzheng’s explanation was very terminological. Simply put, the benefit of controlling the inflation rate at 10% every year is that it can stimulate economic development and allow Xia Guo to pay an additional 10% in taxes every year.

　　 The advantages of such a good thing are of course not without its disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the purchasing power of banknotes is becoming less and less, and the money is becoming less and less valuable. In other words, 10% of the people's wealth is ruthlessly searched by the government every year!

　　 For example, last year one or two summer coins can buy 500 catties of rice, then this year can only buy 475 catties, which seems to have not changed much, in fact, the 25 catties of rice was confiscated by the government. It is equivalent to adding an invisible tax to the change in the value of currency.

When Yang Song got the pros and cons, and after thinking about it, he finally decided not to use this method to solve the problem of Xia’s financial shortage. He also wanted to build the Xia currency into a strong currency. He didn’t want it in a hundred years. , One or two summer coins can only buy one catty of rice.

　　Because he believes that as long as he strives to develop, develop productivity, and solve financial problems, it will be a matter of time. This method is not necessary at all.

　　 From the last plundering war, Xia Guo discovered a very serious problem-the maritime transport capacity is very insufficient!

　　 There are only 30,000 militiamen and more than 20,000 troops. It took three months to transport from Xia Country to Baxter Country, which is only one mountain away from Xia Country. The distance by sea is only one or two days.

　　 So when building the fleet, Yang Song ordered the development and construction of a large transport ship specially used for transportation, which can transport materials in peacetime and can transport troops in wartime.

After having a full set of drawings of sailing warships ~ www.novelmtl.com~ such requirements are not difficult at all. It didn't take long for the Academy of Science and Technology to draw out the design drawings, and after construction verification, this large transport ship was determined. .

　　【Ship class: large transport ship.

　　 Specifications: 65 meters long and 15 meters wide.

　　 Full load displacement: 4500 tons.

　　 Carrying capacity: 500 tons or 1,000 lightly armed soldiers.

　　 Crew: 50 people.

　　 Main mast: 4 pieces.

　　 Hull composition: a total of five layers. The first floor of the superstructure is used for command and residence at the stern of the cargo ship. The hull is divided into four layers. Large cargo can be carried on the open deck. The second, third, and fourth floors are heightened storage floors, and the first floor is the ballast anti-leakage layer. 】

　　 This large transport ship is a ship type between the super battleship and the battleship. The Academy of Science and Technology originally wanted to slightly change the drawing of the super battleship, but after demonstrating it, it was found to be impossible, and it had to be redesigned with reference to it.

　　Because battleships are used for combat after all, not for transportation, there are many compromises in the design of the warehouse.

　　 Therefore, the newly designed large transport ship reduces the number of decks, increases the distance between the decks, expands the shaft, and installs a steam-powered crane to facilitate the loading and unloading of materials.
