Chapter 598 1872 Economic Aggregates and Comparisons
In 1872, the overall national economic development momentum of the Tang Empire was rapid, and the foreign trade showed a strong growth of 32.1% due to the strong demand of the two major export factors of France and Germany. 33
?? The Franco-Prussian War reverberated Europe, a major exporter of agricultural products, and the war caused large swathes of France's countryside to be abandoned and agricultural production to suffer.
?? Faced with the flood of high-quality and low-cost agricultural products from North America, tens of thousands of small and medium-sized French farmers went bankrupt one after another, and the international market was handed over.
?? As a result of the war, France was suddenly reduced from a major agricultural exporter in Europe to an importer, and the original international markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Norway, and Sweden were successively occupied by agricultural products from North and South America, and gradually became dependent.
?? In the future, Germany, which has a large shortage of agricultural products, will import more than 30% of the domestic market share of grain and daily necessities from North America, replacing France as the largest supplier of agricultural products.
?? The Franco-Prussian War not only reshaped the strategic pattern of Europe, but also reshaped the European agricultural market, and the biggest beneficiary turned out to be the Tang Empire, which no one expected.
?? End of 1872
?? After accounting, the total national economy of the Tang Empire grew by 11.3% compared with the previous year, and the total economic output reached 5.17 billion Tang Yuan, firmly occupying the throne of the world's second largest economy.
?? Side-by-side comparison
?? Compared with 1869, the total economic output of the Tang Empire was about 76% of the size of the economy of Britain, which ranked first, showing a high-speed catch-up trend.
?? The rapid economic development in the past three years has benefited from the strong demand traction of the Franco-Prussian War, and the growth momentum has become more and more fierce.
?? The Tang Empire continued to lead the development of the second wave of industrial revolution led by electrification and chemical industry in the world, and industrial innovations emerged one after another, injecting vitality into the overall economic development.
?? By the end of 1872
?? The overall economic scale of the Tang Empire has reached 88% of that of the United Kingdom, showing a clear momentum of catching up and surpassing.
?? In 1872, the total national economy of Britain was 1.162 billion pounds, or about 5.81 billion Tang dollars, a difference of about 640 million Tang dollars.
?? According to this momentum, it is expected that between 1874 and 1875, the overall economic size of the Tang Empire will surpass that of Britain and become the largest economy in the world.
?? The uncertainty is the return to calm in Europe from turmoil......
?? At the end of 1872, at the urging of Britain and other European countries, the German Empire finally reluctantly ended its military occupation of the northern provinces of France and withdrew its troops home.
?? This was followed by the resumption of full control of customs control by France, which vigorously curbed the long-standing wave of large-scale smuggling and cracked down on the dumping of low-priced North American products into the French market.
?? The French side moved quickly and with immediate results, and its domestic market is gradually recovering. Many small and medium-sized French farmers have returned to their long-abandoned estates to begin leveling the land in preparation for the new year's agricultural production.
?? It is already an indisputable fact that under the protection of its high agricultural tariffs, the Tang Empire is expected to lose most of the French agricultural market.
?? Fortunately, during the Franco-Prussian War, the Tang Empire took advantage of the situation to seize a considerable share of the European agricultural market, and exports to France accounted for only 13.5% of the total exports to Europe, and the most important export markets of the British and German empires were not affected.
?? Looking ahead to the new year, the overall growth of the national economy will drop significantly, and the international trade situation is not optimistic, and there may be a certain degree of contraction.
?? It reflects that many manufacturers in China have reduced production capacity, and more farms and plantations have turned to the cultivation of cash crops, such as natural rubber, sugarcane, sugar beets, melons and fruits, oranges, apples, grapes, tobacco, etc., for diversified development.
?? This is also the result of the government's guidance through newspaper public opinion, and from the beginning of the year to the present, various forward-looking policy analyses and international situation analyses have emerged one after another, which has sounded the alarm bell for the vast number of plantation owners.
?? If you are really stubborn, you can't help it.
?? The Tang Empire was the world's largest producer of agricultural products, and the number of private farms it maintained was huge, and those that could not adapt to market competition could only be eliminated, and no one could save them.
?? It is gratifying that the population of the Tang Empire grew steadily and vigorously, from a total population of 65.77 million at the end of 1869 to 80.31 million at the end of 1872, reaching a historic high.
?? In terms of population size alone, it is nearly twice that of the British Isles.
?? The abundant demographic dividend provided a steady stream of labor for the industrial development of the Tang Empire, ensured the continuous expansion of the domestic market and a prosperous domestic trade pattern, and was also the foundation of the empire's economic development.
?? The Tang Empire has adhered to the national policy of immigration for decades, and steadily imports about 1.2 million ~ 1.4 million Chinese immigrants from the mainland of China every year, all of whom are young and middle-aged laborers.
?? Besides
?? There are also a large number of Chinese immigrants spontaneously entering the United States of America, the United States of America, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Australia and other countries and regions, the number is about 30~350,000 per year.
?? Through these diaspora, the Empire's influence in these North and South American countries was also growing, and it penetrated into the upper echelons of military and political circles.
?? The most obvious example is the newly emerging third largest party in the United States of America, called the "Liberal Party", whose leader, Mr. Zhang Zongliang, is the current governor of New York and plans to run for president of the United States of America.
?? The Liberal Party is a party dominated by Chinese and Italians, and has a large number of Latino underclass members, and is very influential in the economic circles of the United States of America, and has risen rapidly.
?? In New York, a metropolis on the east coast, the big Chinese capitalists basically controlled the country's financial, mining and transportation industries, and their influence penetrated into all aspects of heavy industry, real estate, commerce and trade, and their presence was almost ubiquitous.
?? As a "liberal party" that can represent the interests of Chinese capital, it is naturally particularly favored, especially in New York State, the base of Chinese capital.
?? It's better to choose someone than your own, and there's nothing wrong with that.
?? Liberal Party leader Zhang Zongliang ostensibly had nothing to do with the Tang Empire, but in fact his father-in-law was General Fan Pengju, who had served as commander-in-chief in the United States, and his third brother Zhang Zonghe, a lieutenant colonel, served in the Seattle Garrison Command and was a veteran imperial officer.
?? In recent years
?? The United States of America has become increasingly vocal in its attempt to break away from the Tang Dynasty, and some democrats and Jews have raised anti-Tang banners, winning the support and attention of many people.
?? Some have proposed;
?? Following the precedent of France, we will repay the huge war reparations in advance, take back the customs control of the United States of America, take back the right of financial supervision, let the Tang garrison withdraw, and restore the national sovereignty that the United States of America should have.
?? Behind this, there are naturally the British, the French and some Germans, and the Dutch, who do not want to see North America controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
?? After ruling out the military option, we can only incite public opinion to make trouble and engage in some small actions that are not visible.
?? The Tang Empire's network of influence that had been woven in the United States of America for more than ten years was no fun, and the pro-Tang forces counterattacked quickly and fiercely, launching a series of repressions against democrats and Jews.
?? First of all, in the newspaper public opinion
?? The portrayal of the greedy face of the Jews and all sorts of smear articles were overwhelming, especially the evil deeds of the Jewish usurers, and widely publicized in the form of a small daily story.
?? Over time, people's impression of it has become even worse.
?? Subsequently, the tax authorities carried out a concentrated tax audit operation against the financial industry, holding banks and loan sharks, factories and commercial banks, mainly of Jewish ethnicity, and a large number of cases of tax evasion were exposed.
?? For a time, the reputation of the Jews stinked like rats crossing the street.
?? Jewish financial power was completely eliminated from the United States of America, and this trend spread to the Tang Dynasty and the United States of America. Some Jewish capitals have collapsed, and many criminals are caught up in lawsuits.
?? There is a large, invisible hand that pushes for the complete liquidation of Jewish capital.
?? The Jewish capital of North America, which had not yet gained a firm foothold and was completely formed, collapsed after being hit hard, and since then it has disappeared from the markets of North American countries, and can no longer make any waves.
?? Even some of the Jewish capitalists who escaped left for Europe, never to set foot in this sad and unforgettable international market.
?? in North America
?? The fiercest competition with Chinese capital is Jewish capital, which has been suppressed everywhere after the rise of the Tang Dynasty. In particular, the unified market of North America formed after the victory of the North American War, Jewish capital has been given special attention, and it cannot raise its head when it is oppressed.
?? Years of resentment gathered and moved, and at the instigation of people with intentions such as Britain and France, it naturally broke out, and he became the drummer who rushed to the forefront.
?? Jews have money but no power, who will you do if you don't do it in the political turmoil?
?? Without reaching the British, French, and German big capitalists, big factory owners, and the upper classes, the European media and the local media in the United States of America were concretely silent because of their disgust with Jewish tradition.
?? Sit back and watch Jewish capital be frantically bitten by the government, laws and tax authorities, and die one by one, paying an irreparable heavy price.
?? This is the price of the fiercest clown who jumps, after being accurately blocked, he died very aggrieved and very miserable!
?? That kind of hatred of the Tang Dynasty was strongly suppressed, and some celebrities who jumped high broke out scandals one after another, some committed adultery, some embezzled and took bribes, some prostitutes gambled indiscriminately, and some even got involved in crimes and fell into big trouble.
?? The Chinese capital in the group also began to take action, kicking some hired bank executives out of the door, some newspaper editors were fired, famous baseball players were laid off or put on cold benches, and professors were fired by schools on ridiculous pretexts and went home to gnaw old corn.
?? This is the most terrible thing, it will ruin your job at every turn.
?? Take stock of New York, a metropolis kidnapped by Chinese capital, how much of the economic component is there?
?? The whole of Manhattan is owned by Datang Royal Capital, and the Port Authority of New York, major port and steamship companies, major banks, several major telegraph offices and railroad companies and other large enterprises are almost all controlled or dominated by Chinese capital.
?? There are about 560,000 Chinese in New York, accounting for more than one-quarter of the total population, and almost completely control the commercial trade and financial industries, and the power under the water is even more amazing.
?? In the Appalachian Coalfield, the largest enterprise in the United States of America, the Tang royal family and the government fund jointly hold more than 40% of the shares, and have long held important positions such as chairman, executive director, and general manager, and are de facto speakers.
?? When the forces of capital began to fight back, everyone obediently shut their mouths.

Some people died, but not completely......
