Chapter 692 Rapid Economic Development

Many weapons and equipment of the Daheng Empire, whether it is warships or army equipment, still have a good reputation in the international arms market!

Cheap and practical!

This is the biggest feature of the foreign trade equipment of the contemporary Daheng Empire, and it is also the biggest competitive advantage!

At the same time, after the Orr War this year, in response to the changes in the situation of naval warfare, a variety of warships specially designed and launched have also attracted the attention of many international sellers.

For example, the 'high freeboard dome cruiser' that has been sold to the Orr Kingdom, the four countries on the east coast, and the Mongol Khanate has very good seaworthiness, strong firepower, fast speed, and large endurance, and can be used as a reconnaissance cruiser in a large naval power, and can be directly used as a capital ship in a small country, and this type of ship is also very suitable for breaking diplomatic relations to increase endurance.

Otherwise, the Orr Kingdom, the Four Coastal Kingdoms, and the Mongol Khanate would not have chosen this type of second-class cruiser, although their respective tonnage and weapon configuration are different, but the ship type is the same ship type.

In addition, the Bujir armored cruiser, which was designed for the four countries on the east coast and later sold to the Mongol Khanate, was actually more successful in design, not only sold to two countries successively, but also the Daheng Imperial Navy itself planned to change it for its own use, which shows the success of this class of ships.

This is also attracting the attention of more countries!

Many countries with the idea of developing and building navies, after learning that the four countries on the east coast and the Mongol Khanate had chosen the same armored cruiser, they also became interested in seeing how this armored cruiser was.

But they are only planning, and now the order for two battleships and the order for the Garin-class armored cruiser seems to have been negotiated, but the construction has not yet started.

The empire estimates that if these capital ship orders of the Orr Kingdom want to take shape, I am afraid it will have to wait until after the end of the war.

However, there is another good news, that is, the neighboring kingdom of Louhe, located on the western continent and south of the Mongol Khanate, also came to see the Bugir armored cruiser.

The kingdom of Louhe was actually an important enemy of the Mongol Khanate.

The Kingdom of Louhe joined forces with the Kingdom of Pinagaran to wage war against the Mongol Khanate three years ago.

If we add several neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Meso and the Roko Khanate on the border, then the situation in the central and western regions of the Western Continent is very chaotic.

And all this, naturally, is because of a few powerful countries on the side!

The Orlan Kingdom, the Kekel Empire and the Walya Empire, the three first-class powers on the Western Continent, compete with each other, and the Krull Kingdom has always liked to make trouble in this place.

The many small and medium-sized countries in the central and western parts of the Western Continent are at war frequently with the support or impetus of those powerful countries, and their relations with each other are very chaotic and complicated, and they fight wars at every turn.

Of course, the more chaotic this place is, the greater the benefit to Daheng, the Great Heng Empire has sold a lot of ordnance in this place, and the direct trade between countries is only 50 million orders from the Mongol Khanate.

However, there are also many orders for ordinary ordnance through arms dealers, such as the Louhe Kingdom, which is equipped with at least 50,000 Luoan IV rifles and at least more than 100 artillery pieces made in the Daheng Empire.

Now that the Louhe Kingdom has come to the door to see the Bougier armored cruiser, the Great Heng Empire is naturally very welcome.

However, the purchase of warships, not to mention whether they are satisfied or not, even if everything is satisfied, but all kinds of negotiations on the details will take a long time, and the orders of the Louhe Kingdom will be invisible for a while.

However, these existing ordnance orders alone are enough for the Empire's defense industry to increase its production.

Not to mention that the empire itself is still in the period of the army's major rearmament and the third phase of the navy's development plan, so the empire's defense industry is busy flying.

The national defense industry is also regarded as a relatively important mechanical terminal consumer goods in contemporary times, which can directly drive the development of middle and upstream enterprises.

Hundreds of millions of orders are smashed over, which is enough to feed many enterprises.

The three major arms companies, as well as hundreds of enterprises in the middle and upper reaches, can benefit enormously.

The vigorous development of the national defense industry, coupled with the already very good development of other industries, is also the reason why the economic growth of the Daheng Empire in the eight years of Qiansheng is very bright, the proportion of the industrial economy is gradually increasing, more surplus labor enters the factory, and the people's income continues to increase.

Looking at the surging development of the economy, many elderly people sighed, as if they had returned to before the Hengao War, the empire was strong, the people were rich, and even created an extremely special Daheng 'rural economy' model.

And now, there is also such a situation, many rural areas in Daheng, their economy has begun to recover rapidly, a large number of farmers have shaken off the poverty of the past, and their lives have become better.

Of course, it can't be said that it is a farmer, but more accurately it should be a farmer!

There is too much arable land in Daheng, and the number of farmers in Daheng is also large, and there is also a lot of land in Daheng!

Therefore, the peasants of the Great Heng Empire and the peasants of other countries are two different concepts!

Farmers in other countries are poor, even under normal tax conditions.

But the farmers of Daheng are actually all farmers, with hundreds of acres of land and thousands of acres of land.

Daheng farmers are a very special group, before the Heng Olympic War, Daheng farmers created a unique Daheng rural economic model, so that the countryside of Daheng has become a paradise that everyone envies.

In the past few years, the peasants of Daheng have lived a miserable life purely because the taxes caused by the chaos in the feudal towns are too high, and the people are not able to make a living.

However, after the unification of the empire, taxes began to normalize, and the income of small and medium-sized farmers also increased, although the general income was not too high, but the income from farming was enough for them to support their families and give their children a basic education.

Such a small farmer would have a proper middle income in the city.

In addition, in recent years, the industrial and commercial economy in the Daheng Empire has begun to take off, and the economic growth rate has been extremely fast, giving birth to a large number of urban middle and high-income classes, which has led to a considerable number of families in the Daheng Empire, whose incomes are not low.

As a result, a very unique social phenomenon has emerged in the Daheng Empire, that is, the number of middle-income families has exceeded that of low-income families!

This is a situation that no other country has!

This also leads to the fact that the society of the Great Heng Empire is very peculiar, it is not a pyramid structure, but a rugby structure!
