With the development and deepening of Datang's construction work in China, more and more large-scale projects have been launched. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThese big projects have often been studied by the Tang people for many years, so when the time comes, you can just take out a stack of materials from the safe. Datang has always been not bad for money, and the country also has abundant financial resources to invest, coupled with flexible financial means, which makes Datang seem to be at ease when launching large-scale projects, and can pile up a lot of large projects in one go.

The size of Datang's economy is a matter of great curiosity and concern to the whole world. Even Datang's domestic academic and economic circles are arguing about how to calculate Datang's economic volume. One of the main points of disagreement is whether overseas territories should be included in the size of Datang's economy. According to common sense, these overseas territories are all Datang territory, and the regional economy is also closely related to the provinces directly under the Datang Dynasty, so they should naturally be counted among them. But the problem is that the differences between each overseas territory are very huge, and the degree of operation of Datang is also different, especially in terms of general financial transfer and its own industrial capacity, which is difficult to define. For example, for example, Goodway Overseas Territory is a developed region with a similar degree of development to the provinces in North America of Datang, with a considerable degree of industrial level, and it is nothing to calculate into the economic scale. Overseas territories such as Japan and Siam also have considerable economies and deep management, so they are easy to calculate. However, such as the Sundanese territory, there are still a considerable part of the area that belongs to the indigenous economy; Tianfang Overseas Territory, just started and still has not stabilized, so it becomes more difficult to calculate. Moreover, it is generally believed that Datang basically only draws 100% of its national strength from the provinces directly under its central government, although this statement is not accurate, but there is some truth to it.

As a result, the economic scale of Datang has become calculated separately for the directly administered regions and overseas territorial areas. In 1800, the last year of the eighteenth century, the GDP of the Tang Municipality was 280.6 billion Tang Yuan, which includes the provinces directly under the Central Government of North America, Oceania, and the former United Special Administrative Region, and does not include the Chinese region, which has not yet completed the household census.

This is already an extremely staggering number, and it has even doubled and doubled the sum of other economies except Datang. Maybe that's not quite accurate, so it's a metaphor for what is actually happening in another plane. Calculated according to the level of purchasing power, the current 1 Tang Yuan is about equal to 1 US dollar in 1945, with an error of about 2 cents above and below. The GDP of the United States in 1945 was 223.1 billion US dollars, which means that at this time, the economic aggregate of Datang in North America alone has surpassed that of the United States, which dominated the economy after World War II. In 1945, the population of the United States was nearly 140 million, and the total population of North America (including Latinos and Native Americans) at the end of 1800 was 40 million. Per capita, it is about three times the standard of living of Americans at the end of World War II. This kind of conclusion is naturally unscientific and arbitrary, but it is also representative.

To put it bluntly, in terms of industry, cutting-edge science and technology, and people's living standards, Datang is actually at the level of the peak of the sixties in the United States. Here the military may complain, it is clear that basic science and cutting-edge research have been explored until the sixties and seventies, and the military's weapons level is still mainly at the level of the early fifties at the end of World War II. This is not surprising, there is no strong enemy on the one hand, and the main thing is that Datang is still relatively shallow in terms of accumulation after all, and it is very advanced in some aspects, but in general there are still shortcomings in general. For example, in the nuclear industry, Datang has been researching for ten years, and not a single reactor has been built. In some other industries, such as the electronics industry, experimental integrated circuits have begun to run programs, but they have not yet been popularized on a large scale.

Datang officials have money in their hands, and fiscal revenue is a part, and the main source is not only taxes but also profits from state-owned enterprises. The other part is Datang's sovereign wealth fund, which is now even larger than its total annual GDP. Investing to make money is naturally the main purpose of the fund, but the Datang sovereign wealth fund also has the function of investing in domestic infrastructure.

In the investment in China, infrastructure investment in transportation is a priority, and the cost is also a large one. The traversers grew up with the propaganda of "build roads before you get rich", and the importance of transportation is self-evident. Datang's transportation department has planned an eight-horizontal and eight-vertical railway network in China, which can better promote economic exchanges between the interior and the coast. The situation that railways are an important means of transportation in the Datang Huaxia region will not change. Prior to this, the Qing government had already built a number of important railways such as Beijing-Kowloon, Beijing-Shanghai and Longhai with the help of the Tang people, and now what the Tang people needed to do was to network them.

At the same time, the development of coastal cities is also a priority, and coastal provinces have one or two key port construction projects.

The more eye-catching ones include the establishment of the city of Dalian. Although people still don't quite understand why the Tang people changed Jinzhouwei to Dalian, it is clear that in the national plan, Dalian has become one of the three northern ports with equal emphasis on Qingdao and Tianjin. Dalian will build a series of industrial sectors, and even build a shipbuilding enterprise Dalian Shipyard that is no less large than the current Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai. But that doesn't hide the embarrassment of the new city of Dalian.

The source of embarrassment lies in the economic hinterland. Although the new government no longer restricts the people of Guannai to come to the Northeast to reclaim and colonize, Datang is too big, and if a person has a plan to emigrate, there are hundreds of pages of introductions to various regions of Datang in the brochure of the Immigration Bureau, which you can choose. There are many places where the land is as warm as spring and the land is fertile, and the attractiveness of reclamation in the northeast has been greatly reduced. Even the three eastern provinces, plus the 6 million square kilometers of Donghanhai Province, are actually a bit marginalized in the overall construction of China. Except for a limited number of urban construction projects, the opening of railways is incomparable with other provinces.

Compared to the other side, before World War II, Japan invaded Tohoku and regarded it as a treasure, and some people even called on the emperor to emigrate to Tohoku. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Northeast China, as the eldest son of the republic, engaged in industrial construction. At this time, the Northeast under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty is so embarrassing, the essence is because the country is too generous in terms of land resources, and it is obviously a treasure land rich in resources, but it is not ranked in the overall environment.

Many scholars in China believe that the three eastern provinces do not need to be radically developed, and it is more meaningful to protect the local wetland ecological environment than to do anything else. Bai Nan could only sigh when he saw such comments from think tanks, he could really be capricious if he had money and land. (To be continued.) )
