Sweep the World

The deployment of firearms is a matter of time, and it must be a process of first equipping the core forces and then extending to the rest of the forces.

　　 is the first to be installed by the core troops, there are considerations about loyalty, on the other hand, is it because the output is restricted. After all, the output is only that much. When the capacity meets the demand, more troops will be deployed.

　　 The current Han country can produce about 20 to 30 guns of various calibers per month. First of all, it is restricted by materials, and it is not that there are not enough artisans.

The material used in the current artillery is not steel, mainly copper, which is also in line with the evolution of artillery. First, let’s get familiar with the bronze artillery, and slowly look for materials with better performance, which is a process of material research. , Have to wait for a material to be figured out before there is a step to update.

　　Han country actually has a product like steel, which is only a deeper refinement of iron ore, which also involves chemistry, such as chemical additives and some proportions, but it is inseparable from the increase in temperature.

　　 There are definitely not many people in the world that can produce steel. The Han is counted as one, and Ah San is one of them. Then there are Romans and Persians, and the rest are really gone. There are many ethnic groups who do not even master the smelting skills of bronze, let alone iron or steel.

　　 The Indians have not been able to master metal smelting technology for thousands of years. The world island has entered the firearm stage, but they still live the life of the Stone Age. What makes the Indians so uncivilized? The reason is not that they are stupid. In fact, North America has no open-air copper mines. First of all, there is a lack of materials to open the "smelting technology line", and the bronze stage has not been entered. I don't know what the metal is, the related detection technology has not been extended, the iron age, the steel age...anyway, there is no way to open it.

For the first time mankind discovered that ore can be made into copper or ironware. It is the credit of volcanic lava, so that mankind knows that the original temperature is enough, and then find the correct ore, then they can use the method of heating and burning to smelt the metal they want. Then there are various kinds of processing for various metals.

　　 All technologies are based on hypotheses and conjectures. In many cases, there is clearly enough technology to produce something, but because there is no related concept, production is naturally impossible to talk about.

After Zhu Xia made the gunpowder, it took hundreds of years to use it for military purposes. However, the process was interrupted by the nomads from the grasslands called Mongolia. Since then, the research on firearms has fallen behind. Europa.

To say that the use of gunpowder was savagely interrupted, so many technologies were actually locked up by Zhu Xia himself. Naturally, the credit was the rejection of the Confucianism, whose contempt and contempt for the craftsman was in itself a way of ruining the future. , Otherwise, how could the mechanical research that was still played in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period go back more and more later?

　　 Liu Yan will never take the wrong path. Not only will he not deny himself, he will follow the path he knows firmly. It is of course impossible for him to do it himself, but if he can exist as a mentor and propose related concepts, there will naturally be countless people to conduct research.

"In less than ten years, the big man will be a big change." Liu Yan is now riding on a horse-drawn rail car with a few ministers, feeling what is called a whirlwind: "The pre-Qin invented the road, and we This generation allowed him to reappear."

　　 Indeed, the Chi Dao was widely used in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It was responsible for the heavy task of computing during the war. It was usually used for civilian transshipment or transport, but with the collapse of the Qin Empire, the Chi Dao disappeared.

　　 It is not only the road that disappeared with the Qin Empire, but also the assembly line operation. I really don’t know if the Han Empire really didn’t know those technologies, or it was simply abandoned in order to draw a clear line with the Qin Empire.

It doesn’t seem right to say that the old Liu’s abandoning the chariot and assembly line in order to draw a clear line with the Qin Empire. Even the old Liu’s inherited the system of the Qin Empire, and there is no reason to abandon the country’s advantageous technology. What is the answer? thing?

In fact, it is very simple. The war at the end of the Qin Dynasty is a major reshuffle. It first experienced the collapse of the Qin Empire, followed by the struggle between Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and many other princes, and then entered the stage of the struggle between Chu and Han. The war not only caused a sharp decline in the population. Many historical materials were also destroyed and lost.

　　 In the initial stage of the collapse of the Qin Empire, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms looked uncomfortable with anything related to Qin. In that era when beating, smashing, looting, and burning were accompanied, how many people died and how many things were destroyed? A lot of knowledge can be lost, and technology is certainly not privileged.

　　 In fact, any dynasty change in Zhuxia was a process. The population that increased during the peaceful years was drastically reduced due to wars, and many accumulated cultures and researched technologies were also destroyed. Any newly-founded Central Plains dynasty will basically usher in a so-called "prosperous age", which is just that the available resources (such as land) have not changed at all, but fewer people need to use the resources to produce false prosperity. prosperity.

There is a very clear example. Yang Jian founded the Great Sui Dynasty. Before Yang Guang lost the country, the population and productivity of the Great Sui Dynasty only reached the war stage, until Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and then Li Shimin’s prosperity and prosperity. It can be shown that until the end of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the data of the Tang Dynasty was only "Wen Xing" surpassed the Da Sui, and it was really inferior in other aspects.

　　 What kind of dynasty is like, you can actually see the clues from the size of the population, first of all, the output can support a sufficient population, so that the population will increase sharply. At the same time, that dynasty could not be defensive, it had to be an aggressive posture to ensure that the basic disk would not be invaded by the flames of war.

If you look at the population data of each dynasty, the population of the Western Han Dynasty has always been at the peak of most dynasties. The population of 59 million (data from 2 BC) remained until the middle of the Ming Dynasty (160 AD) The data) was broken, but the population statistics during the Wanli period were only a little bit more than that during the Western Han Dynasty.

Without telling lies, if you say that a strong man is really a strong man, both the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties are strong. It is not only the foreign warfare, but also the population. You must know the 59 million in the Western Han and the five in the Eastern Han. Thousands of millions are rare in the past dynasties, and in many cases it is twice or even three times that of certain dynasties. It can be seen that there is a reason to say that the Han Dynasty is a strong man.

Nowadays, Han will re-count the population every three years. Statistics are becoming more and more difficult to complete. This is related to the fact that Han does not restrict population mobility. For example, the population census conducted this year has suffered a cliff-like decline. The population of 17 million a year ago dropped to 14.26 million, and almost 3 million people "disappeared."

　　 Those three million people are not dead, they are actually in a state of mobility, such as going to the Indochina Peninsula, the Western Regions, or the grasslands. They may also be halfway on the road, and it is difficult to be counted.

　　The method of population statistics in Han is based on the previous dynasties, such as the algorithm from the pre-Qin to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which starts from the age of eight, and the population under the age of eight is not counted in the population. People under the age of eight are not counted because the current mortality rate is very high due to various reasons, especially in the newborn baby stage.

In the previous dynasties, it was not because of a bad habit that every person was born. It was because of the widespread phenomenon of infant drowning. To put it bluntly, there was no birth control measures, and the children in the family had enough to pass on from generation to generation. When he came out and felt that he couldn't support him, he was so cruel that he killed the little life before he had time to look at the world.

　　 "This phenomenon is no longer present." Sang Yu said that there are relevant legislations, and the government is very strict in this regard: "Furthermore, local governments will provide assistance on a per capita basis."

Liu Yan still very much agrees with the legislation of the Yushifu. The people can't afford it, but they can afford it. It just so happens that the country desperately needs an increase in the population, and the people cannot be forced to support it. That might force a family to die. Relevant assistance is appropriate to help.

　　Han is not only an aid to multiple births, once the number of births is regulated by the government, there are many benefits, among which is the reward for land.

　　You can get land when you have a child. That's the second way to get land besides fighting for meritorious service. It was a baby boom.

For one thing, although the government had made corresponding preparations at the beginning, such as paying attention to delivery and hygiene, it still underestimated the people’s desire for land. They were still insufficiently prepared to face the baby boom, and there were still a lot of things. The problem, for example, although the survival rate after giving birth has improved, it is still bad.

"With the current conditions, it is not easy anymore." Liu Yan looked at the scenery passing by, and the cavalry who kept following not far away, then looked at the outline of the distant city, and said with emotion: " At least our generation is improving and arranging in a targeted manner, not just announcing policies."

　　 Now the government pays for all the expenses of having a child in Han, regardless of the number of births. Of course, it relieves the burden of the people. Whoever makes the country really short of population does not cost much money anyway, but what you get is population. Those people will grow up someday and will have labor output. If you will become a soldier, there is no saying that there is no loss in the country's efforts.

"The prime minister's office has made relevant estimates. Ten years later, the population of Han's enrollment will surge to about 44 million." Sang Yu still thinks that Ji Chang's lead is quite reliable, and the population over eight years old in ten years' time. It should be that data. After that, the number of people newly recorded in the household registration will increase in the number of millions every year: "The Prime Minister believes that within 20 years, Dahan will remain in a difficult time."

　　 The population has increased, and the burden will inevitably increase, especially when the country has already paid for tickets. Newborns will be assisted every day until they are thirteen years old. That must be an astronomical expenditure.

　　 "It will be worth the effort." Liu Yan must think so: "Once they become the labor force and the source of troops, we will gain the whole world."

　　 Actually, Liu Yan still thinks that forty-four million is too little, but his own population base is so large that it can be regarded as a remarkable achievement to be able to more than double it.

Twenty years later, 44 million men and women will be combined with each other. There will be no more than ten years. The population should exceed 100 million. As long as there is no change in policy, it must continue to combine with the population base to produce new populations. , Within 50 years, there will be five to six billion Han people in the world.

Fifty years later, if Liu Yan had not died, he would have been 80 years old. He felt that by that time the Han people should have conquered the world island. Even if the yield per acre of the field did not increase fundamentally, the Han people would not be able to do so. Hungry.

　　 Sixty or seventy years, the Han people in this world will have to break one billion. If they control the entire world island, they may even invade Africa. The living space is completely sufficient.

　　 Liu Yan’s generation has already attached importance to the ocean, and the exploration of the ocean has not stopped for a moment. Isn’t it possible to set foot on North and South America in 50 or 60 years? Maybe the Arctic and Antarctic are gone, and life continues to expand. As long as there is no civil strife in this nation, the earth will become a single country sooner or later.

　　 Liu Yan, who was constantly consciously thinking about it, was finally awakened, and his journey to the Madam City in Changshan County was over. He asked, from Guangwu County to Madam City, the overall time is almost five hours, and there is a pause in the change of horses, which means that the speed is maintained at about 70 miles per hour?

“The roads should be built more ~ ​​www.wuxiamtl.com~ Liu Yan’s idea is very simple: “The width design was unified in advance, and the steam engine was not developed before the use of Malaya. Waiting for the steam engine and the production of a locomotive. If it is replaced with iron, new equipment can be immediately put into use. "

　　 Everyone was confused. They knew that the steam engine was studying, but what a train was, and they were very surprised that the wooden track should be replaced with iron.

　　The current annual pig iron output in Han is about 28 million catties, which is 140,000 tons in weight, which happens to reach the highest level in the Song Dynasty. Of course, this does not count the system production, but the system production is directly ordnance, not pig iron ingots.

The annual output of 140,000 tons of pig iron is really not that small today. In today's world, Han can reach this level. Liu Yan knows that Rome’s annual pig iron is only about 40,000 tons, and Persian Sassan can reach 60,000 tons. , If the envoys of the two countries did not make falsehoods, the two countries combined would not have as much annual pig iron output as the Han country.

　　The production of pig iron in the Han country would naturally be inseparable from Liu Yan's spurs. He was not satisfied with that number at all, but considering the current level of technology, there really cannot be more extravagant expectations.

"It's no wonder Da Qin has been asking for ordnance from outside." Yu Yi said with a reminiscence: "Since Da Han established diplomatic relations with Da Qin, in just two years, Da Qin purchased more than 70,000 various weapons from Da Han. ."

　　 What I have to say is that it is still stuck in the transportation problem, otherwise the quantity will be even more. Han Guo sells weapons here, in exchange for gleaming gold.
