For example, in the arms industry, there are three major arms companies, the South China Sea Arms Company, the Jingzhou Arms Company, and the Central Arms Company.

There are three major shipyards in the large-scale shipbuilding industry: Luohai Shipyard, Quping Shipyard and Jingzhou Shipyard

There are four major oil companies in the large-scale integrated oil industry: Tsingshan Petroleum Company, Shayangwan Petroleum Company, Nanhai Petroleum Company, and Ningyu Petroleum Company.

There are four large-scale integrated iron and steel companies: Luohai Iron and Steel Company, Jingzhou Iron and Steel Company, Fengyang Iron and Steel Company, and Chongke Iron and Steel Company

There are five large-scale comprehensive machinery companies: Jingzhou Machinery Company, Luohai Machinery Company, Deqing Machinery Company, Chongke Machinery Company, and Northwest Machinery Company.

Many of the above-mentioned companies are in competition with each other, such as Luohai Iron and Steel Company and Jingzhou Iron and Steel Company, and they are the biggest competitors among themselves, and the competition is everywhere from railroad rails to naval armor steel.

The hardened armor of the Daheng Empire can be made so smoothly, which is also related to the fierce competition between these two steel companies, and the navy has already issued a tender for the research and development of a new generation of armor after the steel face and iron armor have been made, and at the same time awarded a number of steel companies for the research and development of new armor.

In the end, it was Luohai Iron and Steel Company's surface carburizing armor that came out first and won the Navy's order.

However, Jingzhou Iron and Steel Company has not given up, and they are still continuing to develop their own hardened armor, preparing to adopt different processes to develop better hardened armor.

And this kind of healthy competition is something that the upper echelons of the empire are happy to see.

After years of adjustment of the layout of state-owned enterprises, the official assets of the current Daheng Empire have basically been completely withdrawn from ordinary industries, such as the textile industry, the most important industry in the light industry, and the official assets have been completely withdrawn.

With the withdrawal of official assets, private capital has also been given a broader space!

At this time, private capital also reflects the profit-seeking characteristics of capital, and promotes industrial upgrading and technological progress.

The textile industry of Daheng Empire has been able to complete the technological leap and realize the upgrading of the industry in just a few years, all because of the independent innovation of private capital and the pursuit of profits.

After all, after the withdrawal of official capital from the textile industry, the textile industry became a hundred flowers overnight, and many businesses spared no effort to introduce new technologies, produce better quality cloth, and introduce more advanced and efficient machinery and equipment to reduce costs in order to compete for more market share.

It is worth mentioning that the gradual rise in the labor cost of Daheng people is also an important element to promote the technological upgrading of labor-intensive industries such as the textile industry.

Although the current labor cost of the Daheng Empire is lower than that of several first-class powers with small populations, it is actually relatively high compared to weak countries and agricultural countries.

Before reunification, ordinary workers in the factories would be given five or six constant yuan every month, and a large number of people would rush to come, and they would even give them food without giving money, and many people would do it.

But at that time, during the war, the feudal towns exploited too harshly.

Now that the economy has been normalized, the unique advantage of the Great Heng Empire is that it is quickly manifested, and the large arable land is enough to easily accommodate a large agricultural population, and to allow these agricultural populations to live a fairly decent life.

As a result, salaries have also risen.

Taking the salary and living standards in the typical industrial cities of Luohaicheng, Jingshi, and Chongkecheng as examples, generally speaking, a regular enterprise recruits an ordinary clerk, well, an ordinary office employee, with a monthly salary of about 40 Hengyuan, which is also the common income of high-tech craftsmen and shopkeepers who buy and sell small businesses.

Of course, these people are not actually low-income class, but belong to a very typical middle-income class.

Generally speaking, skilled workers, such as those in steel mills, shipyards, and machinery factories, can generally earn 30 constant yuan per month.

Ordinary skilled workers can basically reach a salary of about 12 constant yuan.

Even ordinary workers with no special skills can earn about ten constant yuan per month.

This salary level is naturally low compared to the Krull Kingdom, and the salary of an ordinary worker in the Krull Kingdom can basically reach more than fifteen constant yuan.

But don't look at the salary income of Daheng people, who are generally only sixty or seventy percent of Kruer people, but the small life of ordinary Daheng people is definitely better than that of Kruer ordinary people!

Why?

Because the food price of Daheng people is lower!

The Great Heng Empire is the world's largest exporter of grain, cotton, and also supplies cloth to the outside world, and the cloth supplied is cheap cloth.

Overall, the cost of food for the people of Daheng is only about half of that of the Kruhr people!

In terms of eating alone, looking at the all-blue star, there is no country that has more advantages than the Great Heng Empire

There is no way, who let Daheng have more arable land and a large grain output.

As for other countries, such as the Krull Kingdom, the number one power in contemporary times, don't look at their strong national strength and advanced technology, but in terms of food, they are really inferior to the Great Heng Empire.

Because their kingdom island itself did not produce much grain, much of the grain they consumed was imported by sea from other places, such as the Great Heng Empire.

When the Great Heng Empire exported grain to the Krull Kingdom, the grain of the farmers would be sold to the purchasing grain merchants under several major grain merchants in the country, and then these official grain merchants would purchase the grain, transport it to various ports, load it on ships and transport it to the Krull Kingdom, and then sell it to the local grain merchants of the Krull Kingdom, and then the grain merchants would sell it to grain retailers, and then to bakeries.

In this process, the shipping cost and various taxes and fees can be not low.

This pushes the cost of food for the Kruhr people.

But it is simple for Daheng people to eat grain by themselves, and there is not even much transportation cost, because Daheng states generally have their own grain-producing areas, even if it is Zhongluo Prefecture, which is a desolate place in the eyes of Daheng people, but there are also large plains in the western coastal areas for growing grain, which means that there is no need for grain transportation costs.

In this case, no matter how expensive the price of food in Daheng is, it will not be as expensive as it is.

Not to mention that if you want to be expensive, it can't be expensive, because there are only fourteen officially registered grain trading enterprises in the Daheng Empire, all of which are subordinate to the State Assets Management Commission.

Each of the thirteen states of Daheng has one, and each has a monopoly on grain trade in each state.

In addition, the Daheng Grain Trading Company, which specializes in the franchise of international trade in grain.

Fourteen, no more, no less.

All grain trade in the Great Heng Empire needs to be carried out through the above-mentioned fourteen grain trading companies, and private individuals are not allowed to set foot in it.

Officials will set a guide price for the sale and purchase of grain in accordance with changes in international grain prices, domestic grain production and demand, and 14 grain companies will adjust the price within the framework of the guide price.

The principle of guiding prices is to keep grain prices stable, avoid any large-scale grain price fluctuations, and ensure the interests of both farmers and urban residents.

Therefore, the price of grain in the Great Heng Empire is extremely stable!

Even if the outbreak of the Orr War this year and the tense situation in the western continent have led to an increase in grain prices in the international market, the domestic grain prices in Daheng are still in a stable state, at most only a small increase.

Of course, this grain price stability is limited to talking about the domestic grain selling price, and does not include the grain purchase price.

In fact, this year's Daheng grain purchase price has risen, so that Daheng's domestic farmers also enjoy a handful of the world chaos and the dividend of rising grain prices.

Because the domestic grain price of the Daheng Empire remains unchanged, it does not mean that the export price will not rise, and this part of the export increase will be passed on to the farmers.

Otherwise, the farmer will also have an opinion.

International grain prices have risen to the sky, although in order to stabilize people's livelihood, grain prices should not rise too much, although three years ago when international grain prices fell, you still maintained the grain purchase prices of previous years, and avoided the bankruptcy of many farms, but you have to give us a little increase!

You rely on the monopoly to make such a low purchase price, believe it or not, Ming'er Laozi will take out a musket to join the rebel army......

People, after all, are selfish!

When international grain prices fell, they shouted that the official grain purchase prices should be maintained at normal prices, and that they should not fall too hard, otherwise they would lose money and go bankrupt!

When the country's grain prices rose, they shouted that the official grain purchase price was going to rise, why did the international grain prices go crazy, and you still used last year's old price to buy it?

Therefore, the empire's grain monopoly policy seems to be a monopoly and concentrated interests, but in fact it is also very hard.

They have to work hard to maintain the stability of domestic food prices and protect the interests of farmers and citizens, and sometimes they will lose money......

The only one who made the grain monopoly trade lose money was the Daheng 14th Grain Franchise Company under the guidance of Lin Ziran.

This is also a matter of no choice, Lin Ziran engaged in the grain monopoly policy at the beginning, and only gave the grain organization one task: to stabilize food prices!

Whatever the reason, as long as there are sharp fluctuations in domestic food prices, then it is dereliction of duty, and the officials in charge of the grain agency will be unlucky.

Therefore, when there are violent fluctuations in the external grain price market, the 14th Grain Company would rather lose money than choose to ensure the stability of domestic grain prices.

Compared with the stability of food prices, the loss of grain companies is a fart!

Of course, most of the time there will be no losses, after all, grain is a hard currency, the tightest and most popular bulk goods in the international market.

The grain of the Daheng Empire is not worried about selling at all, and many countries will sign grain import agreements with the Daheng Empire in advance in order to ensure their grain import quotas.

As a large agricultural country and the largest grain exporter on the Blue Star, the Great Heng Empire has very low food prices.

As a result, the cost of living is lower for the population in the country, especially for urban residents, which allows them to achieve a better life than the Kruhr people with a lower salary than the Kruhr people.

And it led to the emergence of a very special crowd structure in the Great Heng Empire!

The middle-income group in the Daheng Empire even exceeds the low-income group!
