The development of Shanghai is only a microcosm of the economic development of the Republic of Datang in recent years, in the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of cities have grown from there to nothing, and in recent years, even some places such as Luanzhou and Yuanzhou in the interior of Datang have appeared with a population of tens of millions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Even the Tang Dynasty used the railroad line to expand its colony into the New Mexico region of Spain.

Due to the almost unprecedented rapid growth of the population, the total economic volume of Datang is also growing at an astonishing rate. At this time, the total economic volume of Datang was even greater than that of all the countries on this planet except her. Although most of the 10 million local population are engaged in relatively basic industries due to the quality of immigrants, Datang has not been able to accumulate in high-end fields, such as some heavy equipment manufacturing industries that represent the country's national strength, and their expansion has been limited in recent years. Moreover, with the development, there are inevitably regional differences in Datang, with Los Angeles residents having a high income level, a relatively high price level, and a complete range of construction, which has transformed into a developed society in the post-well-off era. Many of the new immigrants live in towns and districts that are only between subsistence and clothing, and their residents' incomes are less than half of those of Los Angeles.

In order to accommodate a large population, Datang has opened up a large number of labor-intensive industrial zones in recent years. Industries such as textile, leather and garment, agricultural product processing, wood processing, furniture manufacturing, sports toys and small commodity manufacturing have become a major part of Datang's economy because they can accommodate a large number of laborers. This is also an unavoidable thing, but the early immigrants and their children have gradually become talents and can be qualified for some more technical jobs, so the development of Datang's own heavy industry and scientific research industry is not unavoidable, but compared to the development of labor-intensive industries that are almost exponentially explosive. It's a little small.

However, the main industries of this era are these labor-intensive industries, and the production of a large number of textiles and daily commodities enables Datang to provide huge quantities of export goods to overseas markets. These export commodities have occupied most of the markets in the Far East, made a lot of profits, and even crushed some great powers in Europe. Various methods were used to restrict the import of Datang goods, while at the same time supporting domestic industries.

The frenzied overseas trade also made the Tang Dynasty's foreign trade more and more heavy, and by 1788, the total value of import and export trade had accounted for as much as 60% of the total economic output of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, thanks to Datang's state system and system, Datang's national fiscal revenue has also expanded to an astonishing level. In 1787, the total fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty reached 5.9 billion Tang Yuan, and the fiscal revenue of any powerful country in the world could only account for a fraction of the Tang Dynasty at most.

However, although the fiscal revenue is large, the expenditure is also huge, and even slightly tight, because millions of immigrants enter North America every year. Coupled with the country's ultra-high birth rate, Datang had to invest unlimited capital in construction. The cities established by the Tang Republic during this period have striking similarities, from the layout of urban buildings, to the number of people it has, how many schools and hospitals it has opened, and what state-owned factories and companies it has. Later, there was a story that a man from British Columbia went to Pengzhou on a business trip, and found that the city he came to was exactly the same as his hometown. He doesn't need a map to live here.

Although this is an exaggeration, it is not too far away from reality. Because Datang does have more than a dozen fixed urban construction templates. The engineers built the city according to this template, and everything was planned, so it was faster to get started. Therefore, the cities of this period had almost no characteristics, and they were the same, and it was not until more than ten years later that they began to slowly alienate their own characteristics.

The country's leaders have a strong sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and the Tang economy is highly dependent on foreign trade at this time. Qing was the absolute first market, followed by Europe and the United States, and the rest of the overseas territories were also more important. Relatively speaking, the Qing State and its own overseas territories are relatively easy to guarantee, but the others are a little fluctuating. Datang's own immigration is still increasing rapidly, but the growth of domestic demand is relatively limited. Therefore, this development model has forced Datang to continue to expand its overseas market.

If one's foreign trade is cut off, even if it is only affected, the blow to one's own economy will be not small. So at this time, the Tang Dynasty has become another England, which must protect its maritime status and constantly expand its colonies. In the past, the Tang people could easily let the distributors of the Qing Kingdom undertake their own trade goods, but now the Tang people actively require the distributors to master stronger sales skills, and expand the sales network, and continue to expand to the mainland, increase shipments.

During this period, Datang's own technical and scientific "restoration" was also very effective. Although the overall scientific and technological level of the Tang Republic is still roughly at the level of World War II, many areas with relatively short boards are slowly being filled with time. For example, in the field of transportation, practical steam and gas turbines have been put into use, while the level of aero engines has improved significantly, and Datang has also planned to open the first civil aviation route. The early maturity of semiconductor technology has also enabled Datang to have radar and has made updated development in power and other industries.

Datang's annual crude steel output has exceeded 5 million tons, as a country with a population of 10 million, this industrial capacity is actually outstanding in the other side of the World War II period, of course, it is undeniable that the crossing itself is open, with more advanced steelmaking technology than the World War II period, top blowing oxygen converter. This kind of technology is still a secret of Datang, and it is strictly guarded. Datang also has a considerable number of electric arc furnaces used to smelt alloy steel.

Anyone who understands the above information knows that there is no longer a force in this world that can stand alone against Datang. Not only does it have industrial and technological capabilities that are more than a century ahead, but the size of the country is growing. Therefore, because of fear and fear of scaring children, Datang's industrial and national strength data are not published. For example, countries such as the United Kingdom and France may vaguely feel that there is a gap between themselves and Datang, but they would never have thought that the gap is so huge. In particular, the United Kingdom, which has also made great progress in recent years, feels that it has been able to compete with the Tang Dynasty and continue to compete for interests around the world.
