Wild North America 1846

Chapter 438 1864 Economic Transcript
1864 early 7 month

After successfully concluding his visit to the Kingdom of Italy, Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty returned to North America with the escort of the "Storm" and "Shanfeng" armored cruisers, and visited the United States of America along the way.

After a large circle, it was already early October when we returned to the imperial capital Chang'an again.

The government delegation sent by Argentina has just arrived in Chang'an, and officially started the border demarcation negotiations between the Tang Empire and Argentina. Due to the large gap between the two sides' negotiating positions, nothing can be discussed for a while.

Because neither side can provide paper evidence to prove their territorial claims, Argentina, which entered earlier, has not established a provincial administrative system in the disputed area. Thousands of people, 2 or [-] more, still do not meet the minimum requirements for establishing a provincial administrative system (Note, the reason why the above mentioned Cordoba Province and the like is mainly to clarify the location of the region).

learn from mistakes.

In the area north of Cordoba, Argentina has indeed established a provincial administrative governance system with clear boundaries. This is also the bottom line of the Argentine government during the negotiations. It is hoped that the armed militia of the Tang Empire will not continue to invade the area northward.

As for the occupied areas, the Argentine government knew that the Tang Empire would not back down, nor would it be possible to get them back. However, due to the Federal Province's strong opposition to losing power and humiliating the country, the Argentine government did not let go for a while.

Internationally
Similar border demarcation negotiations can take as little as one or two years, and as many as 50 or [-] years or even longer. There is no definite number.

Emperor Li Cha didn't care about this matter. During the four months before and after his visit to Europe, a large number of important government affairs had accumulated in the Ming court, which needed to be reviewed and processed one by one, so he was too busy to be distracted.

Because of being extremely good at management, the royal family of the Tang Empire has firmly secured the throne of the richest royal family in the world, and it is almost as rich as an enemy.It has an important influence that cannot be ignored in many fields such as shipping, steel, electric power, machinery, mineral crude oil, finance and urban real estate in the empire and overseas regions.

Many retired soldiers stationed in the United States returned to the mainland with their white girlfriends, and some retired soldiers were resettled in New York, Philadelphia and other places. Datang Empire owns a large number of enterprises, minerals and urban property rights in the above-mentioned North American cities, which can solve tens of thousands of retired soldiers. The work arrangement of soldiers ensures that they have a stable source of income.

After 18 years of development
Relying on the scientific and technological achievements of the steam industrial revolution in which steam freighters gradually dominated the ocean, the Tang Empire has developed into a world shipping power. Compared with the conservative British and French, Chinese businessmen are full of innovative spirit and fearless adventures in business philosophy The spirit has achieved fruitful results.

Even so
Li Cha still led a series of policies to increase income and reduce expenditure, including reducing the size of the Royal Guards, promoting the salary system for professional managers in the Royal Household Office, judging success or failure by business performance, and using business performance as an important criterion for evaluating the professional ability of managers.

Anyone can settle this account. If the child becomes prosperous in North America, can he still ignore his family?
The wealth of the Tang Empire is well-known, and now independent immigration has become a major trend. The small and medium-sized landlords and urban officials in China are very keen to send their children to North America or even emigrate with their families to escape continuous wars and heavy taxes. A better life ahead.

same period
The annual economic statistics of the United Kingdom have also been released. In 1864, the total economic volume increased by 3.4%, from 9.45 million pounds in the previous year, equivalent to 47.26 billion Tang yuan, to 1864 million pounds in 9.967, equivalent to 48.835 billion Tang yuan. It is ahead of other countries in the world and firmly ranks first in the world.

The economic development of the Tang Empire achieved two major achievements in 1864. First, the total economic volume exceeded 1% of the British total for the first time, and it was a gratifying step on the road to catch up with the world economic hegemony.

Because Argentina refused the Paraguayan army to pass through Argentine territory to aid Uruguay, Paraguay declared war on Argentina on March 1865, 3, and sent troops to Corrientes Province in Argentina, so the Uruguayan Red Party government officially declared war on Paraguay.

Datang Empire also occupies a dominant position in the American coastal shipping. Hundreds of offshore freighters are active on routes from North America to Central America and South America. Most of these offshore freighters have a displacement of less than 5000 tons, with 2000 to 3000 tons as the main force. , to transport the industrial and agricultural products of the Tang Empire to the markets of South American countries.

Dividends alone amounted to 1864 million Tang yuan in 2217. After repaying the huge bank principal and interest for purchasing the coal field shares, they can still get a lot of income.

Along with the export of agricultural products, the related food processing industry, oil extraction industry, flour industry and pastry processing industry continue to flourish, which also drives the prosperity of the ocean transportation industry, and orders for new steam freighters from major shipyards come in like snowflakes, which also promotes development of the steel and shipbuilding industries.

To be honest, Li Cha, the young and vigorous founding emperor, had a restless temperament, and he couldn't stay in Chang'an for long, and would go around for a few months every year to inspect and relax.

For example, a large-scale investment such as buying half of the street in Berlin's Kurfürstendamm is a successful investment case.

And in the new year
The government will continue to maintain this good momentum. Under the current stable and peaceful environment in North America, in-depth industrialization development and large sums of war compensation principal and interest income from both the North and the South of the United States are the two rockets that support the continued rapid development of the imperial economy.

For example, long-term large-scale purchases of European, American and oriental antique calligraphy and paintings, treasures and secret collections, precious palace utensils and cultural relics of great collection significance, as collections of the Royal Museum, gradually enriched categories and varieties.

Excellent fresh blood is selected from universities and colleges every year. The annual assessment does not look at background but only business performance. Excellent candidates will be reused. Those who fail the evaluation will be demoted.

By the end of 1864 statistics;

With ample budget in hand, the government has launched railways and highways, port reservoirs, long-distance telegraph networks, urban tram construction and a series of infrastructure construction across the country, which has effectively promoted the overall economic development.

The 22 troops stationed in the United States of America (Northern) have also been reduced by 4%, leaving no more than 14.6 troops.

Today's Atlantic shipping is dominated by the competition between Britain and Tang. Britain's strength lies in immigrant cruise ships. Datang Empire's strength lies in ocean cargo transportation and liners, especially the modern fleet composed of steam ships. The competitive advantages in all aspects are far stronger than those of the United Kingdom. The sailing cargo fleet of China has already accounted for more than half of the Atlantic cargo.

Promote the implementation of the "survival of the fittest" system, introduce a full competition mechanism, and break the dream of some noble children holding a golden rice bowl.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Duke Ryu Hyun-jun, is reporting the overall economic performance of the national economy in 1864, and the situation is quite gratifying.

Throughout 1864, thanks to the continuous supply of European labor, the Appalachian United Coal Holdings produced 8700 million tons of coal, an increase of 1862% compared to 93.76. Here comes the amazing payoff.

Thanks to one of the results of His Majesty's visit to Europe, the agricultural markets of several important European countries were opened, and the high-quality and cheap agricultural products of the Tang Empire were exported to the United Kingdom, Prussia and the countries of the South German Confederation, Italy and France in large quantities. , Switzerland, Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and other markets have greatly eased the pressure on agricultural harvests and brought tangible benefits to farmers and ranchers.

Many poor families who cannot afford food are willing to send their children to Charity Yucai School and Renai School for education. Not only is food and clothing free, but they may immigrate to North America to live a better life in the future.

The largest Appalachian joint coal holding company in the world alone has solved the employment problem of as many as 1.72 retired soldiers. The imperial family holds more than 4% of the shares in this coal field. It is the largest single shareholder and a de facto controlling shareholder.

1865 late 3

As a result, a war pattern in which Paraguay, a small military power in South America, took shape in an all-round way, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay united to meet Paraguay's war challenge.

The second is to establish a strategic reserve system directly under the royal family. The scope of its purchase and storage extends from strategic materials and weaponry to gold, silver, copper, lead, and major grain storage areas, as a supplement to the government's strategic reserve system.

Taking New York Port as the main trading port for exports to Europe, a group of backbone ocean-going companies such as Atlantic Shipping Company, Seven Seas Shipping, Schindler Shipping, American-European Shipping, Down's Shipping, and American Shipping, all affiliated to Datang Empire, have increased their Custom orders for cargo ships and immigration ships are ready to take a bigger share of the Atlantic golden route.

This became one of the two chickens that could lay golden eggs in the Imperial Household Office of the Tang Empire.

In 1864 alone, more than 27 people immigrated independently, accounting for almost a quarter of the total number of immigrants.

Because in addition to the Atlantic golden route, Datang Empire also exclusively operates two golden routes in the northern and central Pacific Oceans, transporting millions of Chinese immigrants to North America every year, and transporting tens of millions of tons of goods to East Asia and Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula and East Asia. In the Indian Islands regional market, regular routes reach as far as India.

On the basis of the rapid development in the previous year, the economic scale of the Datang Empire continued to grow steadily by 7.7%. The total economic volume increased from 1863 billion Tang Yuan in 23.77 to 1864 billion Tang Yuan in 25.576, achieving sound and rapid development.

Early 1865
In consideration of reducing armaments, the emperor of the Tang Empire reduced the 10 standing royal guards by 4%, leaving only 6 soldiers, and the surplus part will be retired after one and a half years, and the recruitment of new soldiers will be suspended. measures to solve it.

And this one
The powerful Chinese-funded banks and insurance companies, in the golden age of the rapid development of the shipping industry of the Datang Empire, provided strong support for funds and loans, shared the risks of ocean transportation, and effectively guaranteed the vigorous development of the ocean shipping industry.

Dezhou Petroleum has become another chicken that lays golden eggs in the Royal Household Department. It only earns this income in a year (note: including refinery profit dividends, export profits, mineral resource taxes collected locally in Texas, land transfer fees, etc.) , It is as high as nearly 4000 million Tang Yuan.

Throughout 1864

Second, since 1860, it has been the fourth consecutive year that the economic growth rate has exceeded 4%, achieving a relatively high level, stable and rapid overall economic development, and a strong momentum of catching up.

Another chicken that lays golden eggs is the Texas Oilfield directly under the royal family. After more than two years of development, it has produced a steady stream of crude oil. A steady stream of refined oil is transported to the big European market to meet the strong demand of this market.

After two years of trials, this set of "survival of the fittest" full competition system will be extended to all companies controlled by the Royal Household Office, and regular assessments will be carried out for high-level, middle-level and grass-roots employees.

In the palace of Chang'an

The royal family’s large surplus funds have three destinations. The first is to enter the imperial family fund, which is used to purchase high-quality properties in Europe, America and overseas to accumulate royal heritage.

The imperial family has established large-scale museums belonging to the royal family in more than 10 cities. The princes and princesses serve as the honorary curators of the museums, and can receive a generous salary from them every year as daily necessities.

Therefore, the Imperial Household Office built or purchased a large number of palaces and royal manors in the provinces of the empire and overseas for the use of His Majesty the Emperor.

To comply with this change, the Imperial Colonial Department has greatly reduced the financial support for the immigration of ordinary Chinese refugees, and increased the funding for charitable education schools, benevolence schools and other institutions in coastal cities on the mainland, focusing on sheltering and educating young people.

The total tonnage of the steam cargo fleet of the Datang Empire distributed in the world's major oceans has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, which has long been ranked first in the world, and has thus ascended the throne of the world's freight and passenger transport hegemony.

The third is the field of charity. The immigrants imported by the Tang Empire from the land of China gradually transferred to teenagers and children. They were mainly used to accommodate displaced teenagers, men, women and children. After systematic study in schools established in the coastal provinces of China, they were transported to North America by boat. The mainland provides high-quality knowledge-based talents for the economic construction of the empire.

development so far
The Tang Empire already had a considerable population size. Due to the in-depth advancement of industrialization, the demand for ordinary illiterate labor was greatly reduced, and the demand for knowledge-based talents was particularly strong.

On December 1864, 12, Paraguay officially declared war on Brazil, which opened the prelude to the South American War. Paraguay planned to send troops to the Mato Grosso region to carry out a direct military strike against Brazil.

The remaining part is divided among the shipping companies of European countries such as Britain, France, Holland, and Italy, presenting a monopoly pattern in which the strong outweighs the strong.

In 1864, the immigrant population dropped from a peak of 150 to 160 million in previous years to 110 million. This was due to the reduction of preferential policies and the gradual stabilization of the domestic situation.

After more than ten years of wars by the Taiping Army and the rebellion by the Nian Army in the Northwest, almost half of the provinces in China were ravaged by war. By the end of 1864, it finally calmed down. Only a few remnants of the Taiping Army were still roaming around, being chased by the Qing army.

Seeing that it won't be a few days, and the domestic situation is gradually improving.

In any case, the people who suffer in the war are still the common people, and they have the hope of a peaceful life. As long as they can live on, most of the common people will not choose to travel across the ocean to start a new life in North America.

People who leave their hometowns are cheap!
