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.

The core units are the first to be installed, and there are considerations about loyalty. On the other hand, it is not 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. , You have to wait for a material to be figured out before there is a step to update.

Han Guo actually has a product like steel, which is only a deeper refining 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, and 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 the "road" 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 is the rejection of the Confucianism, whose contempt and contempt for the craftsman is in itself a way of ruining itself. , Or else the mechanical research that was still played during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how come back to the back?

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, Chi Dao was widely used in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It was responsible for the heavy task of computing during the war. It was also used by civilians to transfer goods or transport people. However, with the collapse of the Qin Empire, Chi Dao disappeared.

It is not only the gallop 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 simply abandoned it 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 from the Qin Empire. Even the old Liu’s inherited the Qin Empire’s system. It doesn’t make sense to abandon the country’s advantageous technology. What is the answer? thing?

In fact, it’s very simple. The war at the end of the Qin Dynasty was 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 fighting between Chu and Han. The war not only caused a sharp decline in the population. Many historical materials have also been destroyed and lost.

In the initial stage of the collapse of the Qin Empire, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms were not pleasing to their eyes on 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 stage of the demise of the Great Tang, in fact, the data of the Great Tang was only "Wenxing" surpassed the Great Sui, and it was really inferior in other aspects.

What is happening in any dynasty can actually be seen from the size of the population. First of all, the output must be able to support a sufficient population in order to increase the population. 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 in the Wanli period were only a little bit more than in 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. Six million six million is rare in the past dynasties, and in many cases it is twice or even three times that of some dynasties. It can be seen that there is a reason to say that the Han Dynasty is a strong man.

Nowadays, Han country will re-count the population every three years. That is, the statistics are getting more and more difficult to complete. This is related to the fact that Han country does not restrict population movement. For example, the census conducted this year 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, so it is difficult to be counted.

The Han country’s method of population statistics 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 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.

"Now there is no such phenomenon." Sang Yu said that there is relevant legislation, 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, including rewards for land.

The birth of a child can get land, which is the second way to obtain land besides conquering meritorious service, and it directly caused the 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."

At present, the government pays 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 newly recorded population 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."

As the population increases, the burden will inevitably go up, 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 it." Liu Yan must think so: "Once they become a source of labor and troops, we will gain the whole world."

Actually, Liu Yan still feels that forty-four million is too small, 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 the policy does not change, 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.

In 60 or 70 years, the number of Han people in this world will be broken by 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." Liu Yan's idea is very simple: "The width design was unified in advance, and the horses were used to pull before the steam engine was developed, waiting for the steam engine and the production of a locomotive, and the track was replaced by iron. New equipment can be put into use immediately."

Everyone was confused~lightnovelpub.net~ The steam engine, they knew what they were 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 around 28 million catties, which is a weight of 140,000 tons, 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 knew that Rome’s annual pig iron was only about 40,000 tons, and Persian Sassan could reach 60,000 tons. , If the envoys of the two countries did not falsify, the two countries combined would not have as much annual pig iron output as the one country of Han.

The fact that Han's pig iron output will be so much is naturally inseparable from Liu Yan's spurs. He is not satisfied with that number at all, but considering the current level of science and technology, it is really impossible to have 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. The Han country sells weapons here in exchange for gleaming gold.
