Chapter 1669: Fashion Begins
China's ocean road has just begun, not only the ocean-going fleet, but also for the development and comprehensive utilization of the ocean, the future of marine development, will no longer be the coastal fishermen's spontaneous cage culture, but a huge ocean planting, with the country as a unit, investment in unprecedented manpower and material resources, for the comprehensive transformation and utilization of the ocean, the input is an astronomical amount, but the output and benefits, is also very amazing.

These large-scale system projects, just like the Three-North Shelterbelt and the afforestation and soil conservation in northwest China, this is a national project, the benefit is all the people, if you really want to find economic value from the middle, no, or in other words, there is no direct economic value, many aspects are indirect, for example, to create a better environment for the people, for example, indirectly cause the environment to be more harmonious, animal and plant resources are also more abundant, these are not direct value, but not important?
However, the development of the ocean is slightly different, compared to the land, the ocean is more vast, 200 meters deep continental shelf area, or even deeper area, the space is huge, not only the surface of the land can accommodate animals, the entire ocean, 200 meters deep, can be accommodated, this is not only the area, but also the volume, one square kilometer of seawater, the total amount of animals, much higher than one square kilometer of land, if you want to integrate food and utilization rate, it will be higher.
As long as we study deeply, when the forest on the bottom of the sea is formed, the production of fish and seafood in China will climb to a new level, even if there is any disaster on land, or force majeure, China can survive only by relying on the ocean.
However, the development of the ocean has just started, countless unknown and untouched things, these difficulties and troubles, must be moved forward one by one, it can be said unceremoniously, in the first 10 years, almost net investment, but for China, the current development has reached the level of not bad money, huge funds are looking for a way out, similar to the Kra Isthmus, is an example, no matter how huge the investment, as long as there are interests, the future can see the prospects, there will be investment.
Agriculture and breeding and, are huge value-added investment, the ocean because the base is very huge, so the total investment looks so terrible, in fact, from the perspective of decades, standing at the height of the country, is not too big, divided into decades of investment, as long as the foundation is completed, the biome is built, the future, is a hundred years of sustainable development process.
Time passed slowly, the winter of 1916 was in a calm, slowly passed, on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1917, it was the annual statistics, at this moment, China's economic aggregate, all aspects of the data, has been very huge, the entire Bureau of Statistics, tired for a few months, finally completed the statistics, for the speed of China's economic growth, everyone has been prepared, but the increase is so big, it is still unbelievable.
In 1916, China actually reached an economic growth rate of 21%, which looks very terrible, you know, China's total amount has been huge enough, nearly one-fifth of the growth, such a magnitude is amazing, you know, before, China in per capita, has surpassed the United States, in the population is about 6 times that of the United States, per capita has exceeded the United States considerable range, so calculated, one-fifth of the growth, absolutely more than the current economic increase of the United States, and even the number of growth, All of them are more than the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany combined.
China's population, coupled with advanced industrial technology, the productivity of a single person is very amazing, and the final number is also impressive, in a sense, China in terms of industrial volume, independently supports more than 50% of the world's share, really in industry, and the entire Western world is equal, and slightly victorious. On the premise of participating in the war, China did not devote all its energy to the war, but improved other aspects, and even the lives of the residents did not change greatly, and everything went as usual, except for a small number of military industrial enterprises, the remaining enterprises and residents, all of which were relatively calm and did not be affected much by the war.
In less than 8 months, China's desert has been reduced by 20%, which is nearly one million square kilometers of land, a desert that does not produce a penny, and a place where it can be planted, or even become a forest, effectively changing the environment, the difference between this is huge, and it is these large-scale additions that have made China's economy grow greatly, even exceeding the previous estimates, higher than previously expected, and not a little and a half high, but a lot.
The benefits of the environment, is only a foundation, the most important thing is in the economic efficiency, a cotton planting, so that the cotton yield in the central and western regions, at least increased by 1,5 times, this is the result of the doubling of the land area, in the original desert and semi-desert environment, cotton production is not high, but with a huge amount of land, the final pile of output, or let everyone moved, not only to meet China's growing demand, but also to the leftover.
Nearly 1 billion people, this is a huge population, China's population has exceeded half of the world, although the young still occupy a considerable amount, but these young people will grow, the rapid growth of Chinese population and the rapid growth of demand, are far from reaching the peak, must be reserved for a certain share in the future.
Even so, China's demand for cotton has risen to a height, and before, three or five sets of clothes in a lifetime, after the break, the sewing can be repaired, the clothes worn by the boss can be worn by the second, or even the third and fourth, worn out, patched, even patches stacked, as long as it has not been completely broken, no one will buy new clothes, in the case of basic survival can not be guaranteed, food is always the first, and then live, clothing and travel.
But now China, really a bit with the meaning of the 21st century, everyone has dozens of sets of clothes, even hundreds of sets of clothes, every year, every season to change clothes, has become the daily needs of the people, per capita cotton consumption from 1908 to the present, increased by more than 7 times, most of the cotton, seems to be consumed by China, in this case, these growth of cotton, has become a necessary consumption. China has shifted from eating this simple survival need to clothing, housing and transportation, these things that taste to taste, taste the feeling of survival and convenience, which may cause a certain degree of waste, but compared to China's huge output, it is necessary to be able to digest so many things, it is enough.
The huge use of cotton, all kinds of new fabrics, plus some special petrochemical materials, these together, formed a thousand purples and thousands of reds, all kinds of fabrics, all kinds of postures, after a large number of things were produced in later generations, China's fashion clothing industry began to become the mainstream of the world, forever leading the trend of the world.
The trend of this thing, nothing more than popular, represents the direction of aesthetics, this, a hundred years ago, before the industrial revolution, is only widely spread among the aristocracy, after all, the common people, did not enjoy this luxury of the foundation, to the era of the industrial revolution, along with technology and productivity, people with vision, people with technology, began to use innovation to obtain wealth, but also the introduction of innovation into production and life, some newer materials, was applied to every aspect of clothing, food, housing and transportation, finally, It became popular because it was sought after by others.
This is the predecessor of luxury jewelry and popularity, but this development, at the beginning was relatively slow, although luxury goods are not ordinary people can consume, but should also be recognized and accessible by most strata of society, in the world is polarized, factory owners, capitalists, replaced the original aristocracy, became the main force of social consumption, the vast majority of the toiling masses, still in a relatively poor, to be able to eat is a luxury era, luxury goods at most only in a small circle. More people, can be considered, that is, full of food, clothes, is similar to China, some higher wages, maybe there will be one or two sets of formal clothes, used for work, real casual clothes at home, is also very simple.
In the middle, to the custom service, during the Industrial Revolution, some of the original nobles, for the royal family custom clothing tailors, in order to attract business, began to serve new objects, wealthy factory owners, capitalists, but there are no nobles and royalty, he can not let this item have exclusive rights, from the initial imitation, to the final large number of appearance, luxury goods have a difficult start, among them, and several centers in the West are the most well-known, Paris, London, and even Milan, these have just taken shape, The fashion mecca that has not yet developed by leaps and bounds is only in the bud, they are still in the workshop, and even in a small area of the popular situation, compared with the Chinese group, the difference is not a little bit.
In the history of later generations, after decades of development, after the devastation and baptism of World War I and World War II, they are still in the initial embryonic state, under such a premise, encountered such an unreasonable opponent in China, China only by virtue of excellent raw materials, defeated the opponent, the creative industry, not that you are advanced, you are more developed, your creativity is the best, but in the first-class creativity can only rely on the premise of the ninth-rate hardware, the third- and fourth-rate creativity can win with the cooperation of first-class hardware, Even to some extent, China's creativity is not necessarily bad.
