Wild North America 1846

Since the discovery of gold mines in Australia, many Chinese gave Chang'an City a new nickname of "San Francisco". The previous name of "San Francisco" has been forgotten by most people.

After 18 years of rapid development, this imperial capital has become the largest urban agglomeration in the North American continent, including more than 10 surrounding satellite towns, Fangcaodi, Sunshine City, Sandaoling Town, Sidaoling Town, Moon Town, Shanghe Bay City, Xiahewan City, Oak Bay Town, etc., with a total population of 228.71 million, ranked the largest metropolis in the Empire and the second largest super metropolis in the world, second only to London.

Over the years
New-age transportation facilities represented by trams and automobiles have become the main means of public transportation in the large and medium-sized cities of the Tang Empire, replacing the backward public carriages and private carriages, and developing extremely rapidly.

For the consideration of urban management and sanitation, dozens of large and medium-sized cities in the empire successively issued local regulations restricting the entry of horse-drawn carts, ox carts, mule carts, donkey carts, and other animal-drawn carts into the city, in order to prevent large livestock such as cows, horses, and mules from defecating indiscriminately. The whole city is smelly, seriously affecting the cleanliness and sanitation of the living environment.

The goods transported by animal-drawn vehicles can only reach the outskirts of the city, and then transferred to trams, cars, or rickshaws for transportation, especially in metropolises with a population of one million such as Chang'an, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Mexico City, the number of animal-drawn vehicles entering and leaving the city every day Huge, stinky poop is everywhere, seriously affecting the urban environment.

After careful planning, the above-mentioned series of large and medium-sized cities have formed two sets of transportation systems: tram passenger transportation and freight transportation, which have become the main force of urban travel and cargo circulation and transportation, while automobiles, human-powered tricycles and human-powered carts are supplementary.

This allowed the city to get rid of the dirty, messy and smelly environment, and presented a beautiful, tidy and prosperous city in the new era, which was widely praised by the public.

As the production and birthplace of automobiles, the Datang Empire is also the country with the largest number of automobiles in the world. The total number of automobiles of various types has reached 1.76. Automobiles are becoming more and more popular among the public and showing a momentum of vigorous development. China accounts for 89.72% of the world's car ownership.

Chicago, as the industrial center of the five great lakes and the center of industry and commerce, supports half the sky of the northern part of the empire. Together with the surrounding cities of Detroit, Davenport, Milwaukee, Kane County, Des Moines, Omaha and other cities, Chicago has formed the second largest city in the world. The empire's second largest industrial center in the Chang'an-Los Angeles industrial economic belt has become an important driving force for the development of the imperial industrial economy.

Although carriages are strictly prohibited from entering the cities in major and medium-sized cities, noble carriages are lenient, but they only need to pay high "city tolls" and require pocket bags under the horse's buttocks to collect horse excrement.

From the changes in the ranking of the top ten cities in the Tang Empire, it can be seen that earth-shaking changes have taken place in the past six years, reflecting the characteristics of the expansion of the empire's territory. The layout of large cities with a population of one million is more balanced and reasonable, and the rise of emerging cities The momentum is very strong.

This also led to the population growth rate of the top two cities mentioned above being slightly lower than other cities. However, due to the accumulation of a large amount of capital and industrial and commercial resources, the momentum of economic development has been soaring all the way, not at all inferior.

According to statistics at the end of 1864, the top ten cities in the Tang Kingdom were;
Ranked first; Chang'an City (San Francisco), with a population of 228.71 million

Mexico City, which ranks fourth in the empire, is the core of the economic territory of the southern provinces. After being incorporated into the territory of the Tang Empire, this ancient city with a long history has regained its vitality. A large number of Chinese immigrants moved in, making Mexico City's total population The volume once again exceeded one million, becoming a dazzling star in the southern city.

Because Mexico City is located in the center of the southern province where cotton is widely planted, the city mainly develops the cotton textile industry and garment processing. It has 13 large and medium-sized textile factories and thousands of textile workshops, and there are countless large and small Small garment factory.

Mexico City is also a metropolis with one million people with the highest proportion of non-ethnic groups. Native whites and Mexican Indians account for 42.6% of the city's total population, Chinese account for 56.3%, and other populations account for 2.1%.

Compared with other provinces in the south, most of the Chinese population accounts for more than 8%. The high proportion of foreign races in Mexico City is due to its historical reasons.
