Chapter 411: Regional Differences
In Ye Tao's view, the biggest problem now is that due to the imbalance of technology and policy, Ye Tao did not deliberately control the process of science and technology, because the development of technology is becoming more and more complex, Ye Tao's direct guidance for the process of technology, although it still has a huge effect, but it is no longer decisive. The large number of technological achievements, and the speed at which these technological achievements are produced, depends on how much manpower and material resources Ye Tao is willing to invest in these things, and how many times he is willing to fall in those repeated and failing experiments. While the research institute continues to produce new achievements, it has also become the gold-swallowing beast of Ye's workshop.
In Yunzhou, many achievements have been quickly put into use, and even replaced in rounds, so that the evolution of technology and business models have been combined from the beginning. The telegraph network of the Intercom has changed from a single line to a four-way network, and in some places where communications are busy, it has even expanded to 16 lines. The telegraph service, which is open to the people, has become one of the conspicuous symbols of Dongping's leadership over other countries. The telegraph network for the entire territory of Yunzhou has been basically completed, and the network for the entire territory of Dongping is also under active construction.
Now, even airships are in commercial operation. The Uchifu, Kyushu Trading Company, and Nanami Trading Company jointly funded the establishment of Dongping Airlines, and a total of six civil aviation lines have been established. Because the load of the airship is still quite limited, the ticket price is very expensive, and because the rich travel carry more entourage and luggage, most of them use the way of chartering the airship, but from the current business situation, Dongping Airlines, which has invested a lot, is expected to recover all the investment within five years and obtain considerable profits. In fact, Ye's workshop has already made a hydrogen airship, but because the safety of this thing is really flattering, Ye Tao has no intention of putting this kind of thing into civilian use. At present, hydrogen airships are only equipped in small quantities in the military, and a large number of them are still equipped with that kind of hot airship. The simple internal combustion engine has been figured out, and it is being tossed how to increase the power, how to reduce the volume and weight, and as soon as the small engine is qualified, it can be installed on the biplane fixed-wing aircraft that has been made long ago for test flight.
More efficient wind, firepower, and hydroelectric generating units are being improved, and substations and other equipment have finally relied on the investment of terror to make a large-scale model that can be put into use, and embarked on the road of smooth development...... Starting with Gondor, Yunzhou will gradually become electrified.
And due to the soaring steel production and decreasing costs in Dongping, Yunzhou can now finally have a large amount of steel to squander. The prototype steam engine was installed on the locomotive, the railway track began to be laid, and various prototype tests and supporting systems began to take shape. On the day when Gondor is officially completed, the first railway with practical value, the line from Gondor to Ningyuan, will be officially opened.
These are naturally commendable achievements, but as far as the current situation is concerned, they have also become the heart disease of Ye Tao and others.
There is no doubt that Yunzhou is very different from the rest of Dongping. Regarding this point, the impeachment, attack, and slander of Ye Tao have never been interrupted, but Ye Tao is not a person who cares about this kind of thing anyway. However, the consequences of this uneven development will be very serious if it continues to develop. Tan Xiaopei and Dongping ministers are also aware of this, and in the future, Yunzhou will mainly focus on the continuous improvement of the existing system, and the entire Dongping will be on par with Yunzhou with huge investment. The whole of Dongping will enter a period of large-scale construction and development in the next three to five years. And this arrangement also allows Ye Tao to alleviate the problems after the construction of Gangduo City is completed.
What's wrong with Gondor? For ordinary people, Gondor City is a miracle that appears on the ground of Yunzhou, the center of Dongping in the north in the future, and a city full of hope. However, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin couldn't think so easily. Because of the various industrial chains driven by the construction of Gondor, all kinds of people involved account for 20% of the total population of Yunzhou. As soon as the construction of Gondor City is over, where will such a huge system and so many people be involved? Yunzhou can naturally digest this part of the working population, but it will take more time. But many of the professionals in technical and service positions are not so easy to arrange. Naturally, some people can directly participate in the construction of the new capital city of Danyang, but most people still need to be resettled on the spot. Although Yunzhou will have a railway network and a series of other projects to consume this part of human resources for a period of time, it is not a way to always rely on this kind of government-built projects to ensure that not too many people will be idle.
Now, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin began to prepare for all kinds of problems that might occur after the completion of Gondor. All kinds of initiatives, programs, various government-funded and private development plans require them to constantly invest time and energy in reading, revising, and then trying to implement them. Ye Tao and Tan Weixin didn't respond well to this kind of work, after all, these things were trivial, and they didn't have a sense of accomplishment, just picking up the missing work. Fortunately, whether it was the combination of Ben Wolf's original request to further strengthen Dongping's governance system, or the planning of the northern tribes this time, it could make Ye Tao and Tan Weixin a little easier. A vast territory, a group of people who urgently need to join Yunzhou and join the system of Dongping and get a better life, there is nothing better than these.
"My lord, Patriarch Monsur asks to see you." When Ye Tao rubbed his nose tiredly, Liu Yong walked into the tent, took away the milk tea that had cooled on the table, and said quietly.
Ye Tao smiled and said, "What time is it now?" ”
"It's time for a minute." Liu Yong said indifferently: "Patriarch Monsur said that he wanted to come and talk to you because he saw that the tent was still lit here, and I know that you haven't rested." ”
"Okay." Ye Tao nodded and said, "I'll go wash my face and come over." ”
Although Ye Tao washed up a little, his tired face couldn't change for a while. Monsour became more and more respectful because of this. Monsour is the patriarch of the northern tribe who participated in the hunt, and he also gave a lot of gifts, including that very cute little Lori, to Ip Man Xuan. The guy who was going to lead the hunting team to compete with Ip Manxuan's team was none other than Monsour's grandson. That little Lori, a descendant of the Prairie Royal Family, will be sent here early tomorrow morning.
"Patriarch Monsur, let's have a drink together." Ye Tao beckoned to Monsur and sat down at the table at the door of the tent very casually. On the table were Ballantine's and Grey Goose Spirits from Château Grey Goose, and Monsour was obviously no stranger to these things, after all, they were not too difficult to obtain for his tribe a little north of the Wolf Plain.
"Ye Jingluo, isn't it too hard to see you doing it so late every day these days?" Monsour gave Ye Tao a glass and said naturally.
"In a position, there is a responsibility for a position. Didn't you come here at the risk of being tricked into being killed by us, and risking being pursued by the Kolka tribe? I'm waiting for you to go back this time...... No, it may not be long before your tribe will have to risk war. Isn't that what you're doing as a patriarch? Ye Tao faintly complimented.
"Hehe, Ye Jingluo and Lord Golan have a good reputation, since they invited me to come, it would be disrespectful for me to bring my subordinates here. It's just that if I had come alone, I wouldn't have been able to bring so many gifts. As for the Kolka tribe, whether it is an adult or a subordinate, I'm afraid they won't really take it too seriously, right? Moreover, our tribe will not be completely unprepared...... Also, if I'm not mistaken, there must have been a group of knights from the Frostwolf Army heading north the other day, wasn't it? Monsour said calmly.
Ye Tao smiled faintly. Chi Lei reported to him about the Frostwolf Army's northward advance. It is also a typical military operation with explicit political implications. Since Monsour and the others had come to the Wolf Plains to participate in this high-stakes meeting, they deserved to be safe anyway. The Frost Wolf Army did not have many troops entering the northern grasslands, there were only about a thousand people in total, and it was only a large brigade. However, the Frost Wolf Army can fight and run, and has a very high battlefield efficiency, and even if the Kolka tribe knows that the Frost Wolf Army came to the northern grassland to deter themselves, they may not dare to attack the Frost Wolf Army casually or the various tribes that have been put into the protection range by the Frost Wolf Army. The current Kolka tribe does not have the confidence to start a war with Yunzhou. In fact, they were worried about the attack of the northern tribes in Yunzhou, which seemed not too far away.
"Patriarch, how do you feel these days?" Ye Tao asked.
Monsour hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, ...... Can you live like these tribal warriors in this wolf plain? "Monsour and the warriors he led are not only amazed, they are simply shocked these days. Although they knew in the past that the lives of the tribes who had been bullied by them before and their combat effectiveness had increased significantly in Yunzhou and the entire north under Ye Tao's domination, they did not expect that in this slightly ostentatious hunt, the huge wealth and powerful combat effectiveness displayed by the various tribes were unimaginable. Monsour also knew very well that relying on Yunzhou's policy of simultaneously developing agriculture and animal husbandry, relying on the development of the wool textile industry in Benwolf Yuan over the years, and more and more integrated into the economic system of the entire Middle-earth Continent, these herdsmen who were struggling to survive could also get such a life. And he, as a patriarch, could not be unmoved by this.
