According to the statistics of 1859, the GDP increased by 17.9% compared with 1.62 billion yuan at the end of the previous year, reaching 1,909.98 million yuan.

Thanks to His Majesty's overall strategy of grasping the overall development of the economy on the one hand, and expanding on the other.

Even though the kingdom was fully involved in the North American War in the early 1860s, the overall economic development of the Tang Kingdom remained unaffected, and the first quarter showed strong demand driven by the war, and it became more and more prosperous.

This is what Richard is most satisfied with.

Today is March 21, 1860, three days after the victory at the Battle of Garden, and according to the military newspaper, the May Sherman Corps has been completely wiped out, and General Sherman has died in the battle.

In this way, the best destination for a general is the battlefield.

Just last week

Richard was invited to the University of California to watch a 10-kilowatt generator demonstrated by the German professor Siemens, which lit 621 light bulbs at the same time while generating electricity, showing great application potential.

In order to tackle this major scientific research project, Professor Siemens and his 21 scientific research assistants worked hard day and night to develop and solve more than a dozen scientific and technological problems, and finally came up with this cutting-edge scientific and technological achievement ahead of the times.

Richard was not stingy, and according to the one-year agreement, he rewarded Professor Siemens with the title of a lifelong baron, and the family was hereditary, and since then he has become a member of the upper class nobility of the Tang Kingdom.

With the title of a baronial nobleman, the Siemens family, which will inevitably carry forward the enterprise in the future, is very worthwhile, and this will surely cause a sensation in the scientific and technological world.

These moves show:

As long as you have outstanding ability, the kingdom will not hesitate to reward wealth titles, and the larger the scale of Siemens enterprises, the better the publicity effect.

Now that a dam has been built in the upper reaches of the American River, the world's first hydroelectric power station is being built, and the generators used are Siemens' 10-kilowatt generators, which will be connected in series with 26 generators at the same time, and will bring light to the city of Shanghewan with hydroelectric power.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, two thermal power plants are under construction, which adopt a more stable steam engine power generation mode, with municipal lighting and civil lighting as the main business scope, taking into account the electricity consumption of a small number of factories.

In the power laboratory

Professor Siemens has obtained sufficient research funds and Chinese assistants, and is working on 50 kW and 100 kW large generators, which will bring different levels of power generation equipment to Siemens Power Equipment to meet the world's cutting-edge power equipment needs.

In this field, Siemens Power Equipment is undoubtedly the world's top company, leading the development trend of the entire power generation industry and equipment.

The Tang Kingdom is very suitable for the development of the power equipment industry, because it has the world's leading plastic invention patents, has rich copper ore resources, has rich experience in the field of copper processing, and there is no shortage of raw materials such as aluminum and steel wire, so it is easy to develop wire and cable factories for Siemens generators.

Although the field of power equipment is only a small seedling with an annual output value of more than 100,000 yuan, it will develop into a towering tree in the foreseeable future and become one of the pillars of the industry of the Tang Kingdom.

Don't think that the power equipment industry is small, and there is actually a huge demand in society.

In the Tang Kingdom, there are more than 10 thermal power station construction plans in the queue this year, and 6 hydropower station construction plans are waiting for approval, all of which are small and medium-sized hydropower station plans.

In the lighting field and industrial field of Datang Kingdom, the demand for power generation equipment is very large, with a compound annual growth rate of more than ten times, which has the potential for explosive growth.

Especially in the industrial sector, today's machine tools and machines are mainly powered by diesel engines and steam engines, which are always running at a constant speed through mechanical shafts or gears.

At first, it was fine, but after a long working day, the workers felt tired and could not stay focused for a long time: they were often in a hurry and could not keep up with the trip, which would cause a lot of accidents.

For example, workers who operate canning machines are often crushed by the machine, and their palms are seriously broken, and there are many similar situations, which cause more than 1,000 workers to be disabled every year.

"Speed regulation" is a major problem, given the state of the art today, hard-connected diesel or steam engine power cannot be solved, but the generator can easily adjust the speed of the machine by regulating the current output.

From this alone, great superiority is shown;

In the North American war, where the situation is becoming more and more severe, the Tang Kingdom has shown a huge advantage of stability and prosperity, and the domestic economic development is not affected.

And this attracted a lot of white immigrants, in 1859 reached 113,000, in 1860 at the beginning of a wave, only 1~2 months, the number of white immigrants reached 42,700, an average of more than 20,000 per month, which was almost more than double the previous year.

Among them

There were many artists, scholars, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs and other professionals from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain, and some people from the north or south who were fed up with the scourge of war, so they simply moved their families to settle in the Tang Kingdom.

For these immigrants, the Tang Kingdom welcomed them with an open door.

Richard always believed

Only the integration of the excellent cultures of all nations in the world can collide with the spark of new science and technology, whether it is science, architecture, art or medicine, the Western world has its own uniqueness, which is worthy of great reference.

As long as the Tang Kingdom always maintains the absolute advantage of the Chinese population accounting for more than 9 percent, this sky will not be overturned, and the power is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese.

At the current rate of population growth, it is expected that the total population of the Tang Kingdom will exceed 20 million one day in April, achieving a historic leap.

Why is population growth so important?

In the 60s of the 19th century

In today's competition among the world's great powers, population is the key strategic capability of the country ranking first, and it is also the premise and foundation of other strategic capabilities of the country, including economic development and industrialization, as well as self-sufficiency in agriculture and animal husbandry, all of which are inseparable from the population factor.

If the Tang Kingdom wants to participate in the competition of world powers, it must not stop the population immigration policy that is regarded as the foundation of the country, and at the same time, it must attract talents from all over the world for its own use, and jointly build a prosperous and prosperous Tang Kingdom, which has now become the consensus of the royal government.

The future population growth prospects of the Tang Kingdom are bright, on the basis of having a sufficient population base, the total number of new children born in 1859 reached 1.137 million, becoming the second largest source of population growth after mainland immigrants, due to the good momentum of economic development, this number is still growing.

The number of births in a year is by no means a small number, and this is due to the high population growth caused by the fact that Chinese families are allowed to take wives and concubines, which is rarely seen in monogamous European families.

Among the major European countries such as Britain, France, and Prussia during the same period, France has long been the most populous country outside the Habsburg Empire, which has won France a great strategic advantage.

Until the 19th century, France was one of the fastest-growing countries in Europe. France's population grew from 18 million to 26 million between 1715 and 1789, and the glorious reign of Emperor Napoleon was born across the continent.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Napoleonic dynasty was based on the leading position of the French population, firmly suppressed Britain and the surrounding feudal kingdoms, and showed a strong trend of dominating Europe.

However, this advantage began to weaken after the middle of the 19th century. France was the first country in Europe to start birth control, and with the introduction of various contraceptive methods, the growth of the French population slowed by the 19th century.

In the first half of the 19th century, the population of France still grew by 30 per cent, while Europe grew by an average of 50 per cent over the same period, and the population of England grew by 100 per cent.

In 1800, France had 27 million inhabitants, the most populous country in Europe.

France accounted for 15.7% of Europe's population in 1800; By 1850, however, this had fallen to 13.3%; By 1860, it had fallen to 11.7 percent, and the decline curve is still very pronounced today.

Here, leaving aside for the time being Russia, which is the most populous and vast country, it was also Russia that ended the brilliant career of Emperor Napoleon, how could it be done without endless gray cattle?

France's birth control policy is tantamount to self-finance, and those in power only see that a declining population can ease food
