Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2181

The shipping capacity in Europe is in short supply. The local headquarters of various shipping companies naturally know about it, but they cannot change it in a short time. Even if they use decommissioned ships to increase their shipping capacity, they must be refitted before they can be put into operation. It also takes time to move ships to Europe.

It may take more than a few months here!

In addition, domestic shipping companies, after decommissioning a number of old ships, naturally need to order new ships to supplement the needs of the empire’s internal routes.

At the same time, the shipping demand within the empire was also growing continuously, and the combination of the two further promoted the development of the imperial shipbuilding industry.

The Ministry of Transportation of the Empire estimates that the tonnage of new merchant ships in the Empire this year will exceed one million tons historically!

One million tons of new merchant ships are added every year. This is the best manifestation of the industrial strength of the Datang Empire, an existence that all indigenous countries cannot even look up to!

After all, on a global scale, except for the Tang Empire, the tonnage of the ships of all other indigenous countries added up, regardless of whether they were warships, merchant ships, or small inland sampans, all of which were estimated to be only a few hundred thousand tons.

The fact that the Datang Empire can build so many merchant ships every year not only fully proves the development of the Datang industry and its huge scale, but also reflects the economic development achievements of the Datang Empire since Xuanping forty years!

After all, being able to build so many ships doesn’t mean that you need so many ships.

The current Datang Empire just needs so many ships!

The economic development plan 40 years after Xuanping has brought about rapid economic growth, which has brought huge demand for internal transportation.

In addition to the internal transportation needs of the Western Pacific Economic Circle, there are also transportation needs in the Americas.

Today, in the Americas, a large amount of grain, economic crops, meat and other agricultural and livestock products are produced every year, and these require large-tonnage ships to be transported back to the mainland for sale.

The local population of the Americas simply cannot consume the large amount of agricultural and livestock products they produce, resulting in the American economy becoming more and more dependent on the local market every year.

In the thirty-ninth year of Xuanping, that is, before economic integration, the Americas imported only 120,000 tons of wheat, about 200,000 bales of cotton, and other agricultural and livestock products.

It seems like a lot, but in fact it’s not much. The mere 120,000 tons of wheat can be brought with you when a dozen or so 10,000-ton freighters heading for the Americas return.

But since the 40th year of Xuanping, this data began to soar sharply. In the 47th year of Xuanping, the Americas imported a lot of agricultural and livestock products to the local area, of which wheat alone reached 820,000 tons!

And this is just one variety of wheat!

In addition, there are about 1.2 million bales of cotton.

In addition, there are a large number of corn, soybean, cotton, cocoa, coffee, rubber and many other agricultural products.

In addition to various agricultural products, there are also a large number of animal husbandry products, mainly beef, mutton, pork, etc., which are transported in frozen transportation, as well as a large amount of wool, fur, and so on.

Today’s America is the largest overseas supply base of agricultural and livestock products for the mainland, which can effectively alleviate the shortage of agricultural and livestock products in the Western Pacific region.

For the Americas themselves, the local market in the Western Pacific region has become an indispensable market for them.

If one day, the trade route connecting the mainland and the Americas is interrupted, then there will be a food shortage for the Western Pacific region, but it is only a slight shortage, and there is no need to talk about starvation. After all, the empire There are many other places for supplying agricultural and livestock products, and there are also strategic reserves. After using the strategic reserves for a year and a half, other places can immediately fill the gap and supply.

But for the more than 10 million people of the empire in the Americas, even if the income was greatly reduced, they could not even make ends meet, and eventually they went bankrupt.

Don’t look at the imperial peasants in the Americas, all of them own large tracts of land, but their farming costs are also high, whether they use horses or mechanical farming, the cost is not low, and they will definitely not be able to eat so much food by themselves. , and even the people of the empire throughout the Americas could not eat so much agricultural and livestock products, nor could they use up so much cotton.

Without the home market of the empire, prices of these products would plummet in the Americas, eventually triggering a series of social crises.

And this is precisely the core purpose of the “global economic integration” in the economic development plan of the Datang Empire, which is to kidnap the Americas and the mainland together, so that the Americas cannot survive without the local market.

In order to form this goal, forty years after Xuanping, the empire even vigorously promoted the development of agriculture and livestock in the Americas, loosening some mechanical restrictions, allowing farmers in the Americas to use the most advanced steam engine tractors and even gasoline engine tractors, and letting go of the American railways. Construction restrictions and port equipment restrictions have enabled the Americas to build more than tens of thousands of kilometers of railway mileage in just eight years.

Crossing the east and west coasts, connecting Xinjinshan and Xinnangang, the American Railway is more than 3,000 kilometers long. It was opened to traffic in the forty-seventh year of Xuanping. A major railway artery in North America!

At the same time, there are several other main railway lines. Seven years have passed. In the Americas, North America has more than 7,000 kilometers of railway lines, and Central America and South America also have more than 2,000 kilometers of railways. This adds up to tens of thousands of kilometers. .

Coupled with the river transportation and offshore transportation in the Americas, the export of various agricultural and livestock products is more convenient, and the cost of exporting these products is further reduced.

Finally, a large number of imported into the Western Pacific region, that is, the home region.

This is not only the case in the Americas, but also in other overseas control areas of the Tang Empire, such as South Africa, Egypt, India, and other regions, all have a similar situation.

Under the strong support of the local, the large-scale development of the agricultural and livestock industry began.

In addition, the local area also plans different agricultural and livestock industries according to the different climate and environment of each overseas territory.

For example, in the Americas, part of South America is planned for rubber planting, part of North America is planned for cotton production, some is planned for corn production, and some is planned for wheat production.

Different crops are grown on a large scale in different places.

This model is called a single high-efficiency planting model by Ministry of Agriculture officials.

That is, in a certain place, the most suitable crops of the same type are planted on a large scale to form scale and concentration, thereby increasing production, improving quality, and reducing costs, so as to have higher market competitiveness.

In parts of North America, it’s field after field of cotton, and in other places, there’s field after field of wheat or corn.

Such a planting model, to a certain extent, directly promoted the rapid development of the agricultural and livestock industries in the overseas territories represented by the Americas in the past seven or eight years.

However, this development itself is not what the high-level empire said needs.

The core purpose of the high-level empire’s implementation of this model is to simplify the industries of various overseas territories!

Industry simplification is another important measure in global economic integration.

In the past seven or eight years, the empire has made many arrangements in its overseas territories, including loosening railway restrictions, lowering the price of coal and iron mineral resources, lowering freight rates, importing a large number of agricultural and livestock products from overseas territories, and many others.

The ultimate goal is only one, and that is to completely kidnap the overseas territories and the homeland, so that they cannot escape from the homeland.

If they want to forcibly get rid of the mainland, then they need to pay a huge price!

So as to curb the independent tendency of overseas territories!

But will it all work out in the end?
