Chapter 62 State: Ten Thousand Vehicles Country
Three months later.
Under the watchful eye, a new kingdom was formed.
Dingdu Capital City (a newly established city located in the center of the Hundred Cities Alliance, and the future political center).
Country name: Wancheng country.
The name of the country was chosen through voting, and it was also thought of by Zhou Ming, in fact, he didn't know what the name was good, but others called him to take it, so he casually said the word "ten thousand times".
"Ride" is the meaning of the car, 10,000 times is 10,000 cars, in the history of the previous city-state, in the era of underdeveloped productivity, there were tens of thousands of cars, absolutely amazing rich city, strong city,
Of course, at present, the country of Wancheng has all kinds of vehicles, not to mention 10,000 vehicles, that is, 100,000 or 1 million vehicles, all of which can be taken out, and it is completely called a rich country of "10,000 vehicles".
However, compared with the Wancheng country, the city-states in other places, the level of development of productive forces, is still significantly behind, as soon as I hear the name "Wancheng country", the brain must be a beautiful association, as well as a deep yearning.
Like Zhou Ming's paradise country in that world, when they hear that name, people will feel good.
The Wancheng Kingdom was established on November 1, and the era name was created for one year, and as long as the Wancheng Kingdom did not perish, this era name will continue to be used.
The number of city-states in the first batch to join the Wancheng Kingdom was 55, accounting for just half of the total number of city-states, which fully met Zhou Ming's requirements for the number of joiners.
Taken together, the values of these 55 city-states are still very objective.
For example, the total land area: 13.5 million square kilometers.
Total population: 230 million.
Total GDP: 38.7 billion Lingyuan.
These data account for more than 50% of the 100-city alliance, especially the total GDP, which accounts for 61% of the entire 100-city alliance.
In the next three years, other indicators are not counted, only calculated in terms of GDP, and Zhou Ming, who was successfully elected as the first "head of the country" of Wancheng country, intends to let the total GDP of the Wancheng country account for more than 75% of the entire Hundred Cities Alliance.
That is to say, in three years, within the scope of the Hundred Cities Alliance, he intends to increase the proportion of GDP in the city-states of the Wancheng Kingdom by 5% per year.
This proves the superiority of the state system.
When he announced this "bold statement" in the newspapers, everyone thought he was crazy.
"15% in three years, what are you kidding?
"The state system is good, but it can't be so exaggerated, abolish the road tax, unify the army, and increase the economic vitality by 5 percentage points, 15%?
"I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue, your Wancheng country is developing, and our independent city-states will not develop?
"The so-called state, the state in front of the family, has concentrated some forces, and it has such a miraculous effect? ”
"It is possible to increase the proportion by 10%, 15%, the head of the country is too ......"
"Too confident, hey, 15% in three years, this indicator is set too high, and there is still a certain possibility in five years. ”
Not to mention that some opponents are ridiculing behind their backs, even those on their own side rarely have sufficient confidence.
But three years later, even if the number of city-states that joined the Wancheng Kingdom reached 85, excluding the 30 city-states that joined later, and counting their latest economic data into the camp of the city-states that did not join, the GDP proportion of the Wanchengguo member area rose from 61% to 77% in the entire Hundred Cities Alliance!
That's a 16 percentage point increase.
16% in three years!
More than the scheduled 15%.
Everyone was amazed and unbelievable!
How?
How did this happen?
Zhou Ming smiled slightly.
Three tricks.
He put his ultimate.
The first move is to set up a national infrastructure construction money bank (equivalent to a bank), inject 2 billion spirit coins into it, and use the abundant funds to invest in the infrastructure construction of the member city-states in China.
For example, water conservancy facilities, highways, railways, airports, industrial zones, mining area development, etc., as long as there is a large amount of money, the national infrastructure bank can provide the other party with funds that are urgently needed, or provide low-interest loans, or hold stock options.
After the project is completed and begins to produce benefits, the national infrastructure construction bank can not only speed up the efficiency of the construction of base facilities, but also earn spiritual coins from it.
Both the central government and the lower-level city-states can reap the benefits and achieve a win-win situation.
During the three-year period, after the establishment of the infrastructure construction bank, a total of 158 payments totaling 1.8 billion spirit coins were approved.
The effect is very significant, relying on these funds, 18,000 kilometers of new highways, 12,000 kilometers of metal tracks, 7 industrial zones, 5 reservoirs, 19 airports, 22 mines...... There are more unfinished projects.
The second big move is to expand exports.
Foreign trade exports to the direction of Dongyuanzhou.
Within three years, the total annual export trade of the Wancheng Consortium to Dongyuan Continent has increased from 3.3 billion Ling Coins three years ago to 23 billion Ling Coins.
In three years, it has increased 7 times.
has increased so many times, how did Zhou Ming do it?
This also has something to do with Jiang Ruonan's Xiaoyao Palace.
Today's Xiaoyao Palace has become the first sect in Dongyuanzhou, and four of the original nine major sects have been destroyed by her, and the remaining five are clinging to each other, and it will take a lot of effort to destroy them.
The main reason is that the number of monks in his hands is too small, Zhou Ming has successively sent 70 Lingyuan battleships to Xiaoyao Palace, but only half of the Lingyuan battleships are fully staffed, and the remaining half can't find enough monks to control - even if they can find someone, they are not at ease enough, they must be controlled by the disciples under Xiaoyao Palace.
Therefore, Jiang Ruonan didn't dare to take something too big, and the remaining five major sects would have to wait a few years before destroying them in one fell swoop.
However, in the mortal cities, she gave her subordinates an order: as many mortal cities as she could, she would capture as many mortal cities as she could.
Therefore, in the past few years, the number of mortal cities controlled by the Xiaoyao Palace has exceeded 1,000.
In the process of this conquest, billions of people, trillions of wealth, and everything on hundreds of millions of square kilometers of land fell into Jiang Ruonan's pocket.
And this woman, who loves to enjoy, is requisitioning tens of millions of people to build her a splendid palace, is searching for strange treasures to enter the treasury, and is racking her brains to come up with all kinds of ideas...... Satisfy your own material and spiritual needs.
These projects cost money, and it costs a lot of money - but she has money in her hands.
So she became Zhou Ming's biggest customer.
Not only can each export-type Lingyuan battleship earn nearly 1 billion spirit coins from her, but the order for tiles for her palace project is enough for 100 million pieces, and each piece costs 20 spirit coins.
Can this kind of consumption to satisfy personal desires be sustained for a long time?
It definitely can't, but in the entire Dongyuan Continent, there are 5,000 mortal cities, and the population is nearly 10 billion, for Jiang Ruonan to squander personally, no matter how poor and extravagant he is, he has squandered it for thousands of years.
He doesn't have to worry about the business not going to work.
The third big move is to fully implement the industrial revolution based on the "psionic machine".
The psionic machine stands for "efficiency", which is speed, and is the most advanced productivity.
In the past, it was the number of monks who limited the large-scale promotion of psionic machines, but now in the country of Wancheng, the population base of the monk class has already exceeded 100,000, and there is no problem at all to set off a "psionic revolution", but the extremely expensive soul stones, the price of setting off this kind of revolution is extremely high.
Fortunately, after the huge reserves of soul stones in Dongyuan Continent were continuously mined and transported to the Wancheng Kingdom, the last obstacle to restricting the "Spiritual Energy Revolution" was gone, and the soul stones became cheap, so that during the past three years, the 100,000 monks in the Wancheng Kingdom all had the most suitable jobs for them.
The number of psionic locomotives has increased to three digits, the number of propeller cargo planes has increased fivefold, and a large number of psionic factories have been able to operate for long periods of time.
The efficiency of production and transportation has been greatly improved, but the economic vitality will not be greatly improved.
These three big moves have been released, and the proportion of GDP has increased by 16 percentage points in three years, which is completely in the process of being cleaned up.
This is also the reason why in the past three years, we have seen the rapid development momentum of the Wancheng Kingdom, and 30 more city-states have joined the national system.
After all, in the face of interests, it is very important to take the lead, and if you start to play, lose the opportunity, and then join in, there are not many benefits left, and it may attract ridicule.
However, it is true that the benefits gained after joining the national system are significantly more than the losses, and if you do not join, your interests will be damaged and your competitiveness will become weaker and weaker.
Don't talk about any benefits at that time, if you lose the support of the state, you will continue to weaken and gradually have nothing.
So after seeing this trend, in the past three years, the city-states that were able to join the national system finally applied to join - even if they were very helpless.
But there are still 30 city-states, which persevered to the end and successfully became a "stubborn force" in Zhou Ming's eyes.
In the next time, these 30 city-states will feel what the power of the country is. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
