From 1876 to 1900, these 24 years can be described as a golden period of development, laying a relatively strong industrial and agricultural foundation of the Ocean Empire, and the products have unique dislocation competitive advantages and resource advantages, and strong market competitiveness.

From the perspective of the construction of grain production bases, the Ocean Empire has built four major agricultural production bases, which can fully meet the demand for grain and has a certain export capacity.

The local area is mainly based on the agricultural and animal husbandry production bases built from Gusu City to Hangzhou City, Ningbo Town, Wenzhou Town, and Fuzhou City, supplemented by agricultural production cities in various states, which can basically meet about half of Australia's grain, more than seventy percent of vegetables and vegetables, and fruit supply demand, and 3~4 percent of seafood supply demand.

Shangri-La Island takes the Qingshui River Basin in Xiangzhou as the main agricultural and characteristic planting base, covering the seven cities of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Shaoguang and several surrounding towns.

Borneo's agricultural production base is mainly located in Central Kalimantan, from the seaport town of Saimuda to the inland town of Sampit, along the river continues to trace more than 180 kilometers to Palangkalaya, along the way are the Dutch for more than 300 years to operate a large area of fertile land and plantations, the total area of cultivated fertile land has reached 10.7 million temples, it is the largest and most important grain production base in the empire and the special spices, fruits, sugar, coffee, tea and other plantations are densely populated, and the agricultural products are rich in categories and huge quantities.

In addition to satisfying its own needs, the region's agricultural products are mainly exported, including the Dutch East Indies, Qingguo, Fuso, the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan, especially grain and sugar.

Just take sucrose as an example;

In 1899, the combined sugar production of Central and South Kalimantan was 1.77 million tons, and in addition to 650,000 tons for domestic sales, the remaining 1.12 million tons were all exported, and the supply exceeded demand in the international market.

The output of cane sugar exported to Fuso is 440,000 tons, which is supplied to more than 70 sugar factories in Fuso, accounting for as much as 70% of the country's cane sugar imports, worth 15.21 million gold oceans.

The output of cane sugar exported to the Qing Dynasty was 270,000 tons, worth 10.55 million gold oceans.

32,000 tons of cane sugar were exported to the Indochina Peninsula in France, worth 1.29 million gold oceans.

51,000 tons of cane sugar were exported to the Korean Peninsula, worth 1.8 million gold oceans.

185,000 tons were exported to the British Indian colony, worth 6.56 million gold oceans.

110,000 tons were exported to Mozambique and Somalia, worth 3.5 million gold oceans.

……

The Mozambique region of Africa is mainly produced in the central and southern states of the middle and lower Zambezi region, and produces a large amount of grain and high-quality agricultural products that can not only supply the local and Somali states, but also export to South Africa and the German African colonies.

The above four major agricultural product production bases together constitute a reasonably distributed regional agricultural production center, which solves the grain demand of the empire, and has an average annual export capacity of 400~5 million tons of various agricultural products.

The Ocean Empire's various characteristic agricultural and animal husbandry products are highly competitive, especially the five products of wool, natural rubber, cane sugar, spices and tobacco are the most prominent, and have world-class competitiveness.

During the electrification of the industrial revolution, the world's major powers developed rapidly, and the world's wool trade volume also swelled from an average of 250 million pounds per year more than 20 years ago to 563 million pounds at the end of the century.

In the midst of this

Australia alone accounts for 82.6% of the world's wool trade, the remaining 5.4% belongs to Argentina, New Zealand only accounts for 1.1%, and the rest is local products from Europe, North and South America.

Citigroup, the world's livestock power, has a negligible market share in the wool trade, with a herd of about 3.6 million sheep in 1899, more than ninety percent of which are all kinds of meat sheep.

Australian-made bulk products carded wool tops and combed wool tops occupy more than 9 percent of the world market share, all kinds of high-end cashmere sweaters, cashmere coats, cashmere scarves, cashmere gloves products occupy 100% of the share, more than 2,700 related factories to create more than 930 million Jinyang output value, more than 1.6 million workers in the industrial field, pastures and wool purchasing stations, transportation, warehousing and other related industries nearly 10 million employees, is the first major industry in China.

The output value of the Australian wool industry of 930 million gold ocean is equivalent to 2.325 billion US dollars, the per capita national output value is about 252 US dollars, and the profit can reach a high level of 17.1% on average, especially the average profit margin of cashmere products has reached an astonishing 240%, which has greatly increased the average profit margin of wool trade.

Although cashmere products account for only one-tenth of the total wool trade, the total profit is basically the same as the bulk wool trade, which accounts for ninety percent, and it is a money-making machine.

After years of planned large-scale investment in the empire, the production of natural rubber occupies an increasing proportion of the world market share, from the original proportion of one, two, and three percent all the way to more than eighty percent today, and also steadily expands at a rate of 3~40,000 acres per year, and continues to increase the world market share.

It is different from the original historical time and space

Automobiles and tractors, the largest consumers of natural rubber, came out more than ten years ahead of schedule, and the world consumer market has been on the verge of breaking out after more than ten years of cultivation.

The largest markets are the Citigroup market, the European market and the Australian market, especially the Citigroup market is soaring like a rocket, the demand for the automobile market reached 17,000 units in 1899, ninety percent of the dependence on imports, which is almost equivalent to the annual automobile production of the Ocean Empire in 1897, and this year is expected to triple on the basis of last year's higher base.

This has led to major Australian automobile manufacturers to set up factories in Citigroup to avoid the high import tax on automobiles, realize local production and sales in Citigroup, and win the maximum profit.

It is the explosive demand for these mechanical products of automobile tractors that has strongly promoted the rapid rise in the price of natural rubber market, compared with the same period last year, the price of high-quality raw rubber blocks has risen by 121%, and the economy of this natural rubber garden has injected vigorous vitality.

In the last quarter of 1899 alone, there were 17 natural rubber plantation enterprises listed on the Red River Valley Stock Exchange, raising as much as 11.6 million gold oceans, most of which will be used to expand the production of new rubber plantations.

But this still did not stop a large amount of social funds from pouring into the field of rubber plantations, and the Jinshui River Basin in West Xiangzhou and West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan have welcomed a new round of investors in natural rubber plantations.

Demand drives investment, and they are waving money to open up new natural rubber plantations on thousands of acres, and those plantations of one or two hundred acres in the past have either been merged or continued to expand in scale, and now the seedlings invested in will enter the rubber tapping period after 1910, and the output will explode further.

Among the world's five major producers of high-quality continuous cane sugar, Borneo, Shangri-La, Hawaii, Central America, Cuba and Puerto Rico, the British Straits Settlements and southern Thailand, and the Ocean Empire are the fifth of the five, accounting for 67% of the world's total output, and two-thirds of the world's total.

The development of sweet industry is very bright, the per capita sugar possession in the world today is very low, the United States and Europe and other countries have strong demand, the reason why the United States wants to occupy and control Central America Cuba and Puerto Rico, and control the world's important sugar production area is also one of the reasons.

When the living standards of European and American societies generally improve, the demand for cane sugar will grow irrepressibly, chocolate is difficult to swallow without sugar, coffee is bitter and unpalatable without sugar, and for the afternoon tea of the British, no sugar is a disaster, and even cookies are not delicious.

The consumption of sugar is a hard-core demand, and it is the only way to solve the social development of food and clothing.

According to the blueprint for the development of the Luzon Islands, taking into account the geographical and climatic advantages, in the future, the focus will be on the development of grain production, sugar and tobacco industry, melon and fruit and natural rubber cultivation, which will further strengthen the position of the ocean empire in the field of advantage.

Borneo's spice plantation industry accounts for 21.6% of the world market, the third largest market share after the Dutch East Indies and the Indian subcontinent.

The tobacco industry developed in the Jinshui River basin accounts for 12% of the world market and has a strong influence in the South Seas, considering that the Luzon Islands are suitable for large-scale tobacco cultivation, which is also a major development direction for the future agricultural production of the region.

In addition to agricultural production to meet local needs, the economic development of the Luzon Islands focuses on the production of sugar, tobacco leaves, melons and fruits, according to the geographical and climatic characteristics.

Not to mention sugar and tobacco, which are advantageous agricultural products in the tropics, which are very suitable for the geography and climate of the Luzon Islands, and the technical conditions required are also fully met.

Sucrose products are better than stable profits, which can solve the problem of life and employment of a large number of agricultural people. Tobacco products are better than high profits and high taxes, and the development of tobacco processing industry is the only way.

The melon and fruit industry is derived from the geographical and climatic advantages of the Luzon Islands, which can further develop industries such as canned fruits, fruit winemaking, and deep processing of melons and fruits.

Mozambique's cotton growing and textile industry accounts for 3.7% of the world market, which is about the same proportion as the population of the oceanic empire, and can meet domestic demand and export small amounts.

In addition to the wool industry, agricultural grain production and special agriculture and grain processing industries such as sugar, natural rubber, spices, tobacco leaves, and cotton involve tens of thousands of enterprises, and a total of 11 million people have been employed, accounting for about a quarter of the country's population.

In the field of industry and manufacturing involving dozens of categories, including iron and steel metallurgy, shipbuilding, agricultural machinery, automobiles, bicycles, rubber products, tires, crude oil extraction, refining, various chemical plants, agricultural machinery, clothing, printing and dyeing, cement, bricks, building materials, leather products and other industries, in 1999 statistics, including more than 5 people in the family workshop factory totaled 314,000, direct employment reached 5.2 million.

In addition, more than one million people are employed in the mining, transportation, international and domestic trade, culture, religion, entertainment, hotel and catering services.

Look at it as a whole

The Ocean Empire has entered the category of industrialized countries, and the only backward thing within the empire's territory is the Luzon Islands, which has not yet developed new industries due to only two years of occupation and is undergoing high-intensity infrastructure construction, and is in a state of temporary absence.
