Chapter 208 The Great Industrial Transformation
After Lan Ying had a conversation with Zhong Yuan when Fulongguan was mourning Qing Mingzi, she returned to the Divine Sword Sect and began to vigorously build the Phoenix Science and Technology City.
She pulled out Zhong Yuan's banner: "The head of the family attaches great importance to the affairs of the Phoenix Science and Technology City, and when he was in Fulongguan, he repeatedly told me that he must build the Phoenix Science and Technology City and do more practical things for the people." He told me not to worry too much about the affairs of the sect and to concentrate on the construction of Phoenix Science and Technology City. ”
Now Zhong Yuan's banner is very effective, and it is the most effective flag in this area.
Pull out this banner, and no one in the Divine Sword Sect will oppose her construction of Phoenix Science and Technology City.
Everyone knows that Zhong Yuan's focus has been on the Galaxy Science and Technology City over the years, and it is obvious that Lan Ying's initiative to build the Science and Technology City is very much in line with Zhong Yuan's wishes, and this is also a good opportunity to consolidate the relationship with Zhong Yuan, of course they have no reason to oppose it.
Not only did she not oppose her construction of the Phoenix Science and Technology City, but she also made great cooperation with her in mobilizing the power of the Divine Sword Sect to build the Phoenix Science and Technology City.
In more than ten years, Phoenix Science and Technology City has been greatly developed.
On the one hand, there is the comprehensive technology transfer of Galaxy Science and Technology City in addition to weapon research and development, and on the other hand, it is the strong support of many monks of the Divine Sword Sect.
The strength of the Divine Sword Sect is much stronger than that of the Flying Immortal Gate, and with their large-scale support, the industrial development of Phoenix Science and Technology City has only taken a few years to be on par with that of Galaxy Science and Technology City, and all that is lacking is achievements in education and scientific research.
After all, the time is still relatively short, and those things can't reach that height without a certain amount of accumulation.
Phoenix Science and Technology City also has a Phoenix University, and they also have their own scientific research department, which has a very close relationship with Galaxy Science and Technology City, and the scientific research results of both sides are shared, but the gap between the two sides is not so easy to flatten.
As early as ten years ago, Galaxy Science and Technology City had already contacted the Yu royal family and cooperated with the imperial court to lay a railway in the territory of Yu State.
The Galaxy Science and Technology City was asked to pay for it, the imperial court organized manpower, and after the railway was paved, the two sides shared the benefits.
A lot of manpower and material resources were mobilized, and in the past ten years, four longitudinal, four horizontal and eight railway trunk lines across the country have been laid in Yuguo, and many branch lines have been laid.
At the same time, the industrial strength of the Galaxy Science and Technology City has also been greatly developed, and nearly one-tenth of the farmers have become workers in the process.
Travel is convenient, the transportation of products has become more convenient, and after the formation of a transportation network extending in all directions, Yu Guo has the foundation to enter the modern society.
The life of the common people is getting better day by day, and the output of gold, silver and copper can no longer meet the needs of the circulation of market money, and the reform of the currency system is imperative.
This time, it was no longer possible for the Galaxy Science and Technology City to come forward, and Feixianmen personally came forward to cooperate with the royal family of Yu State, and established the world's first bank - Yu Royal Bank with half of the shares held by both parties.
The first thing the bank did after it was established was to abolish the trading of gold, silver and copper and replace it with paper money.
Within ten years, ordinary people could take gold, silver and copper coins to the Royal Bank's offices in various parts of the country to exchange paper money at a certain exchange rate.
The immortal masters of Feixianmen, the powerful Galaxy Science and Technology City and the Yu royal family joined forces to endorse the bank's banknote credibility, which played a great role in promoting the currency reform.
Yu Guo has truly entered the great transformation of society.
At present, Yuguo's transportation extends in all directions, the road network and railway network have connected the whole country, and millions of workers are still building roads and railways every day, and infrastructure construction is in full swing.
Road construction has stimulated the huge demand of the society, and many skilled workers have come out of the Galaxy Science and Technology City, and large and small steel plants and cement factories have been established in various places, which are convenient for road construction at the same time, and have also created a lot of jobs.
Modernization and urbanization have also been carried out in some relatively affluent cities.
In the past ten years, the Yinhe Science and Technology City Electric Power Company has become a very large power group, with more than 1,000 large and small hydropower stations and hundreds of thermal power stations built in various places, and a power grid covering nearly 80 percent of the population of Yu Country has been formed.
Radio stations are also more popular in Yuguo, and together with electric lights and fans, they have greatly improved the happiness of the people in Yuguo.
In the past, Yu was mainly agricultural, and because the productive forces were very backward, most of the peasants worked hard for a year, and the income could only be satisfied, and there was not much spare energy to consume.
And industry is basically slightly larger than zero, not so much industry as handicrafts.
But now, under the promotion of Galaxy Science and Technology City, agricultural technology has also been greatly improved, and the production efficiency of farmers has increased several times, and the surplus grain can be sold directly, or the breeding industry can be developed to consume these grains, converted into meat and then sold.
With the surplus money, you can buy some industrial products, increase your productivity or improve your quality of life.
With more abundant products and more choices, and no need to be as busy as before, the sense of happiness naturally increases.
Now Galaxy Technopolis is working on such a thing as television, although there is no technology to transmit satellites, but terrestrial television signals are not so difficult.
With this thing, the happiness of the people will be further improved.
Phoenix Science and Technology City also followed suit, only a year late to start laying railways and producing trains and cars in Qiu Country.
They don't have to worry about the technical completion, because the Galaxy Science and Technology City does not reserve these civilian technologies at all, and will help them build production lines and train workers.
More than ten years have passed, and Yu and Qiu have become the happiest countries in this region, and some people who do not belong to these two countries have immigrated to the past.
Some people who can't get by can't get by, can't immigrate and look for job opportunities.
Others are wealthier people who immigrate to enjoy the convenience of modern life.
Banknotes issued by the Royal Banks of the two countries also became the hard currency of the region.
Under the leadership of these two countries, the royal families of other nearby countries have approached these two science and technology cities, asking them to assist in the development of their own countries, and offer more favorable cooperation terms.
Some countries have offered preferential policies to those emerging industrial owners in Yu to let them build factories in their own countries.
Whether it is steelmaking, ironmaking, power generation, or production machinery, it is of great benefit to their country.
When the common people have enough to eat, the society will be stable, and their political power will be more consolidated.
As productivity increases, so do their taxes, and they can enjoy the convenience of modern society, which is definitely a win-win situation.
Although there are some countries where the rulers of the royal family are more stubborn, rejecting everything they do not understand, believing that it will threaten their rule.
However, the trend of the times and the desire of the people, the demand for reform brought about by this unprecedented social change is not something that anyone can resist.
Galaxy Science and Technology City is more supportive of the technical workers they have trained to go back to start a business, and will often provide financial and technical support.
Some have even expanded their territory outside the name of their subsidiaries.
The city is not as large as the Phoenix Science and Technology City, but the production scale is much larger than the Phoenix Science and Technology City, including the subsidiaries.
In the development of science and technology, the first-mover advantage of more than ten years is a huge gap, which can not be smoothed out so quickly.
Phoenix Science and Technology City is learning from technology to system, they are very closely related, and even in the eyes of many people, Phoenix Science and Technology City is a subordinate unit of Galaxy Science and Technology City.
Lan Ying herself does not disagree with such a view.
She doesn't really care who is in charge and who is subordinate, what she cares about is what she can do for the world.
After the construction of Phoenix Science and Technology City, it has changed a lot to the people of Qiu and improved the living standards of those people a lot, which makes her feel very proud.
Although she was very busy, so busy that she didn't even have a lot of time to cultivate, she felt that she was living a fulfilling life.
In order to better connect the two science and technology cities, she even put forward an idea to build a direct railway from Phoenix Science and Technology City to Galaxy Science and Technology City.
It will not only facilitate the exchange between the two science and technology cities, but also promote the scientific and technological development of several countries along the route.
This railway, named "Yinfeng Line", has a mileage of more than 100,000 miles, passing through several countries, and is a very huge project, and it is not something that anyone can start with a pat on the head.
After this project was proposed by her, the scientific research institutes of the two major science and technology cities have also organized a team composed of technical monks to conduct more than a dozen field surveys after more than a year of demonstration.
During this period of time, Lan Ying has regarded this matter as the most important thing in Phoenix Science and Technology City, in order to complete this matter faster, this time she even brought her team to Galaxy Science and Technology City, and lived here, and if she didn't get this thing done, she wouldn't go back.
The team includes hundreds of experts from Phoenix Technopolia, as well as court officials from several countries along the way, as well as some steel company owners and wealthy people who have emerged in recent years.
In this world, although the power of the monks is very large, above the royal power, but the matter of building roads involves the mortal world, and it still needs to be officially recognized and cooperated, so as to avoid a lot of trouble, and the specific operation and management, including the participation of the people, also need to be operated by the official.
And the route is so far, some steel companies must be built along the way, otherwise the transportation of materials is too inconvenient.
This will require the cooperation of some new steel companies.
The private steel companies cultivated in the two Technopolis systems want a piece of the investment.
Wealthy people from several countries along the way also smelled business opportunities and wanted to come to Galaxy Science and Technology City to buy technology, buy skilled workers, buy production equipment and make steel themselves.
This is bound to be a huge investment, and many people can reap the benefits of it.
Over the years, the two major science and technology cities have grown the fastest in terms of steel companies, which have far exceeded those on the planet.
There are so many railways of that length, and the amount of steel needed is an astronomical amount, not to mention that railway construction is only a kind of infrastructure construction.
After the construction of this line starts, it is necessary to improve the industrial level of several countries along the way, so that those countries can transform from a pure agricultural society to an industrial one, which is of great significance.
The imperial courts of those countries simply couldn't come up with such a large amount of money to build such a railway, so they still had to pay for the two major science and technology cities themselves, and then obtain the right to operate the railway for a period of time.
The cooperation of the officials of those countries is to send people out to help manage.
There are quite a few things involved, and it takes a long time to negotiate.
This time, Lan Ying lived here for more than half a year, and the team she brought also lived here for more than half a year, and the official representatives sent by those countries even launched investment promotion activities in the Galaxy Science and Technology City, recommending various resources of their own countries, and achieved fruitful results.
Lan Ying has a villa here, although she has lived here for very little time, but after all, it is her villa, no one has come to occupy it, let alone demolished, during this time, she lives here.
Her neighbor is Gong Shengnan, she lived here during this time, and the two often met, but they became good friends.
Several of Zhong Yuan's women inexplicably had a certain degree of rejection of Lan Ying, except for Gong Shengnan.
This also made Lan Ying have a great impression of Gong Shengnan, and felt that Zhong Yuan's wife had an atmosphere that ordinary women did not have.
The two of them are very close to each other.
After Zhong Wu didn't study, Gong Shengnan, the Minister of Education of Galaxy Science and Technology, also shifted his focus, staying in Feixianmen a lot of the time, and living in Galaxy Science and Technology City for very little time, only when she encountered some important things in the education department, she came here.
That time coincided with the completion of a chemical university in Galaxy Science and Technology City, and as the Minister of Education, he naturally had to attend, and he lived in that villa that day.
Then I saw that the neighbor's villa, which was basically uninhabited, was inhabited by a very delicate and very charming woman.
Looking at that feminine woman, her heart was pounding, and she suddenly felt that she was in love again.
After that, Gong Shengnan became very interested in the education of Galaxy Science and Technology City, and basically stayed in Galaxy Science and Technology City.
The two of them have seen each other for a long time, so they have naturally become friends, and in their spare time, the two often hold hands and go shopping in the Galaxy Science and Technology City.
In terms of career, Gong Shengnan used his name as the Minister of Education of Galaxy Science and Technology City and the wife of the city owner of Galaxy Science and Technology City to provide great support to Lan Ying's plan of "Silver Phoenix Line", which made Lan Ying very grateful.
Ling Qinghan knew about this matter, and he could probably know what kind of mind Gong Shengnan was, but he didn't know if she should remind Lan Ying, and he didn't know how to open this mouth, and his mood was a little complicated.
