Chapter 161: The Great Song Dynasty Economy Is About to Be Severed......

As the information of the various development lines came back one after another, the signs on the world map in the study of Zhang Anguo, the king of the Federal Empire, became more and more dense.

The information in his hands has also become more and more substantial, and it has been divided into several categories and districts.

On this day off, a few of their friends got together rarely...... And Wang Defa came back from Borneo.

He briefly told the other friends about the development of Borneo.

It is now fully industrially built with oil extraction and smelting, supplemented by hardwood mining and shipbuilding...... Agriculturally, the construction of a large urban area dominated by spices, coffee, sugarcane and rice cultivation has a population of 800,000!

If you count the rural population in the suburbs, it can be more than one million!

There are also dozens of black and white photos of celluloid sandwiched on the information, and you can see the development achievements more intuitively!

After Wu Dapeng read the information he brought, he said happily:

"Okay, Lao Wang, this point is completely completed, this is a thousand-year project!

The next step is to build the other two cities directly? Isn't it a bit urgent to start construction at the same time? ”

Wang Defa said: "As long as the labor is enough, then there is no urgency...... It is just right to increase the production capacity of building materials again. ”

Wang Defa plans to build two cities in the Manila area and the Jakarta area at the same time, and form a certain heat island effect to attract population.

As for the country of Mayi in the Philippine archipelago and the country of Sriwijaya on the island of Java...... They are all just a larger tribe, and a large stockade is considered the capital...... The two big cities that Wang Defa plans to build at the same time have nothing to do with them at all, and they are very far apart in terms of geographical location.

The situation of the Philippine archipelago is more peculiar, as was the case with the approach adopted by the Federal Empire on the island of Tin in Belitung, where point-to-point development was carried out only on some islands with high-grade mineral deposits, and around the mineral deposits...... There is no continuous development.

In this way, they would need several large cities to represent the existence of the Federal Empire.

After reading his profile, Wan Shida paid special attention to a street photo, where all kinds of people walked together, without any sense of disobedience, and almost all of them were smiling...... It's not a pose, it's a snap.

He also said happily: "I really didn't expect that, Lao Wang, you can combine so many kinds of labor, and the security is still so good...... I thought there would be one struggle and one after another. ”

Wang Defa laughed and said: "This is really learned from Lao Zhang, holding a whip in one hand and sugar in the other, and then after the rules are clear, the rest will be handed over to the patrol police...... The ratio of patrol officers there is 15 per 1,000, which is five points higher than that of Badaohe City. ”

Song Ziqiang frowned and said, "Why build two cities at the same time? Let's build Manila City first, there is a heavenly port, and it is completely possible to directly use the mining resources on the Philippine Islands to build an industrial city, and see those broken wooden ships, which makes people feel annoyed......

Zhang Guoan glanced at Wang Defa, meaning to let him continue.

Wang Defa said: "Industrial City? Who manages such a high-tech thing? ”

Song Ziqiang smiled and said, "Of course it's me...... The Manila area is so close to here that I can do both! ”

Wang De sent back Zhang Guoan a look, this matter is done, let Song Ziqiang help, the best way is to coax him.

Song Ziqiang said: "As soon as my medium and high pressure steam engine comes out, as long as Lao Wan helps me, I can build a large engine sailboat, if it is wrapped in bronze skin...... That is the invincible existence in the world! ”

Wan Shida immediately came up with the appearance of a transport ship of more than 5,000 tons in his mind, which is what the current Federal Empire lacks the most.

The five friends had lunch together and discussed the arrangements for the National Day in 1283.

Song Ziqiang wants to hold a large-scale military parade, and Wu Dapeng thinks that he will wait for five years of Xiaoqing, and finally everyone decides, let the people do it themselves, let's not worry about that.

Wu Dapeng said: "How is this empire, if it is not in the hearts of the citizens, you can see it if you let them go to their own activities at will...... Make a big military parade, spend money, waste energy, who do you show it to? What about you scare ghosts? ”

Song Ziqiang did not debate with him, and sighed: "It would be nice if the turtles in South India could see it......"

The information sent back from there greatly satisfied the five people, and the personnel they sent did not disappoint them!

They succeeded in controlling the situation in the country of Marbury, and also formed a loose alliance of neighboring countries...... Although the form is loose, the system that has been formulated has gradually made it possible to integrate it into a whole.

In this way, Port Marbury not only has the security of commercial operations, but also has a huge sales market and labor market!

It's just wonderful...... In the future, with a little dim sum, the entire southern region can be controlled in disguise in the hands of the Federal Empire!

Northern Territories...... Where else can they go?!

Wu Dapeng retorted to Song Ziqiang and said: "Use the military parade ceremony to scare the turtles? Can't be scared! Only after a few battles will they agree to your rationalization.

Otherwise, you and Ben will not be able to promote your civilization, and you will waste a huge amount of development resources in vain......"

Zhang Guoan immediately took over, he was afraid that the two would get up.

"The materials for the development of the South African region have also been sent back, and it is progressing well...... Strangely, Lao Wang and I didn't give them information about the gold mines in South Africa, and they were still quite far from the mining area, but there were rumors that there were bigger gold mines there!

The information sent back did not report that they had been searching for mineral deposits...... It's weird! ”

Wanshida thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a miscommunication, right?" ”

"It's not like some small businessmen say they have noses and eyes."

Song Ziqiang said indifferently: "That must be our houseboys who leaked the situation, we educated them for those years, who knows who would accidentally say that there is a gold mine there...... We're not going to guard against them, are we?! ”

Wu Dapeng nodded, this made sense, and said: "This is simple, let's send mining personnel immediately, and go and occupy the big gold mine there first."

By the way, how much gold have we saved? ”

Zhang Guoan looked at the information again and said: "With the one sent back from Tianzhu, we have more than 130 tons in the treasury...... The eastward fleet has not yet sent back news, and they should have something to gain there. ”

The Incas, the Mayans, and the Aztecs all liked to accumulate gold, and they did not treat it as currency or wealth, but as an ornament or a special form of tribute...... In this case, there is no gold, and those who go east are really incompetent.

Wu Dapeng said: "...... There is still a bit of gold to be changed to the gold standard. ”

Zhang Guoan said: "Then change to the silver-gold standard, we have saved up 3,000 tons of silver!" ”

Wanshida added: "It's better to add copper, and several major copper mines in Indonesia, Australia, and Chile will be in our hands...... It is just the opportunity to withdraw from the grain standard. ”

There is a reason why they are so eager to withdraw from the grain standard, and if they don't withdraw, their paper money will drag the paper money of the Great Song Dynasty to death.

The economy always has its own laws of development, and at the beginning, they took advantage of the favorable conditions of being able to issue paper money in the Great Song Dynasty to develop themselves...... When they developed, their banknotes had to be cut from the Da Song banknotes.

It's not about taking advantage of it and running away, and it's not about being ungrateful.
