Chapter 206: War Wealth (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Monthly Tickets)
Whether a country is rich or not depends on the living conditions of its citizens.
Because of the war, as well as the Carter Kingdom's active promotion of a better life in the country, a large number of people from other countries have flowed into the Carter Kingdom, and since the beginning of the Orc War, Carter's foreign population has reached nearly 200 million, not counting the millions of aliens.
These people became the foundation of Carter's prosperity.
It is because of these people that by now, Carter has built the first large railroad from Carter Norton District to the entire southern continent, passing through the Shiling Empire, the Kuler Empire, and many other kingdoms.
There are also as many as seventeen railroads that extend from Norton District to various countries.
The first function of these railways is to connect the entire Carter Kingdom, so that all cities in the Carter Kingdom basically have convenient and rapid transportation conditions.
The planned first form of the railway network and the light tower magic energy transmission network have been built, and in just half a year, Carter has realized the supply of magic energy to major cities.
The convenient use of magic energy has promoted the development of the magic energy locomotive industry, and so far, the cumulative sales of Didlett brand private cars have reached 570,000 units.
Nearly half of this quantity was bought by the new working class and the old aristocratic capitalist class in the country, and the other half was re-exported.
Even the Kule Empire, which is far away in the southeast corner of the continent, now has more than 40,000 magic locomotives.
In addition to this kind of private car, Ron's various engineering vehicles, agricultural locomotives, freight locomotives, etc. are sold in higher volumes.
Through Han Dong's deliberately arranged display screen in the royal capitals of various countries, everyone learned about the usefulness of these magic locomotives, for construction and construction, if these things are used, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved, and the remaining money and time are definitely worth buying such a car.
In particular, trucks and agricultural machinery are directly purchased by the officials of various countries in tens of thousands of vehicles.
While exporting goods, Max did not forget Han Dong's instructions about the circulation of currency issued by Giant Money.
All transactions are completed with the silver tickets of the Giant Bank, so that in the transaction, all countries have the habit of storing a silver ticket, and those who want to buy a magic locomotive also need to use the silver ticket.
Giant Money has opened branches in several countries where currency can be exchanged.
Mobile phones, magic energy film and television screens, magic energy washing machines as the representative of various magic energy technology items stores in these countries to open branches, are also the use of silver ticket payment.
As a result, under the impact of capital and commodities, a large number of silver bills circulated among ordinary people in various countries.
The liquidity of a currency determines its value.
Because the higher the liquidity, the higher the credit of people's currency, which makes it have great value preservation.
Compared to the heavy copper coins, the banknotes issued by the Giant Coin were more convenient to circulate, and those copper coins were also recycled by the Giant Coin at the price of "copper ore".
Copper is also a precious metal in this world, as it is used in many alchemical items, including those already in production.
In the past, copper coins were used as equivalent transactions between various countries, and the exchange ratio of gold, silver and copper in each country was about the same.
With the recovery of copper coins by Giant Money, copper coins gradually lost their value trust among ordinary people.
Now, these countries are slowly unable to survive without the Carter Kingdom, whether it is in the commodity economy or in terms of financial currency, once Carter's side collapses, they will inevitably usher in a disaster.
This is the effect that Han Dong wants, but this level is not enough.
He needs more influence so that he can directly control all the resources in the Radiant Continent.
Regarding the Northern Continent, it is not very easy to influence that side.
Now the Carter Kingdom has purchased an island from the Valoran Empire, called "Humer Island", and is building a new super-large shipyard to build a Lilliputian world version of an aircraft carrier.
And in fact, if you zoom in on the scale, even the planned first-generation "Ocean Messenger series" aircraft carriers will be much larger than modern aircraft carriers.
The standard construction length is 526 meters, which is a large ship of more than 5 meters even if converted to modern times.
After the completion of such a huge ship, it will become a convenient bridge between the north and south continents.
In fact, if the abyssal aura can be cleared, it is possible to build several large railways across the entire orc plain, but obviously, not now.
Anyway, the nautical aspect must be developed, so it is better to start preparing now, after all, the abyss invasion does not know what the outcome will be.
Although Han Dong has a certain confidence in the victory of the human side, after all, the human side has his support.
However, this point in time is difficult to grasp.
Don't look at the last time he easily destroyed an Abyss Demon God, but in fact, the consumption of Haotian Mirror is not small.
Abyss Demon God like last time, fight ten, well, it should be okay, but a hundred is definitely not good.
For example, the Haotian Mirror can purify a golden passage that the abyssal aura cannot reach, but it can't eliminate all the abyssal aura on the orc plain.
Because it's not an order of magnitude thing.
Han Dong's plan to control the continent was steadily progressing, and the Holy See of Light and the other countries did not pay attention to the abyss invasion because they were all focused on the matter of the abyss invasion.
In fact, even Katerina didn't find anything.
She's also very busy every day.
With the help of Han Dong's magic fruit and the latest Holy Spirit Liquid, she has been promoted to the level of a Holy Magister.
Now it is possible to open a gate six meters high and three meters wide.
However, Han Dong already had the Ring of Recovery to help carry things, so there was no limit to how big this door could be.
Katerina is now completely like a tool used by Han Dong to "open the door", as long as Han Dong gives her a signal, she will open the door and let Han Dong come back here.
Then she continued to handle her government affairs, and Han Dong went about his own business.
The two have a tacit understanding like an "old husband and wife", but in fact, Katerina is not yet an adult.
Under Han Dong's earnest teachings, this little girl has gradually become calm and sophisticated, although she has not yet become an old fritter in the political arena, but she has faintly the momentum and ability of a superior person.
At least under Han Dong's coercion, the entire Carter Kingdom was still well managed by her, and those ministers did their best to carry out her orders.
Maybe find a suitable moment for her to be emperor.
When the nominal kingdom was promoted to an empire, it had the prestige to gain a foothold on the mainland.
The change of a title brings the people a different sense of national honor, and being called emperor is not only a change in form, but also a solemn declaration.
Carter Empire, not far away.
