Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1735: Relocation business

As for Li Xuan, thinking about moving one family is moving, and three or five families are also moving, and they add up to millions of people, so it's not a big deal. Just change them to another place.

So when they are in Africa, they have to pull out several places for them.

However, this time, Datang will not give transportation subsidies. It is okay to hire our Datang ships to emigrate, but the charges will be normal.

You said that you are all poor, and you can't even get the money for the ticket, but we Datang have money, so we can lend you a loan.

The most we can do is to charge you a little more interest, don't worry, the interest is definitely not high, you can probably pay it off after going to Africa for 180 years.

The Datang Empire has started a relocation business in the Nanyang region!

And it is not one country and two countries, but all the remaining countries in the Nanyang region are packaged and sent to Africa, and when the site was smashed, Li Xuan also did a good deed to make them all beside each other, so You can let them report to the group to keep warm. As for the war between them in the future, it has nothing to do with Datang.

Because the Nanyang relocation business is too big, the total number of people who need to be transported alone exceeds 3 million, and this is still the preliminary data, and this data is not accurate.

People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimated that it would not be a strange thing to get 4 million or even 5 million people by then.

In this regard, Li Xuan also doesn't care. Anyway, they all receive money. There is little difference between three million and five million.

Furthermore, for the Datang Empire, the huge business and profits brought by helping them emigrate and subsequently sell various materials to survive are nothing.

More importantly, in the future, the entire Nanyang Peninsula and many Nanyang islands will become the mainland of Datang, and there is still no one there.

Very troublesome and complicated localization will be saved.

And this is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty agreed to help these Nanyang countries relocate their countries.

You must know that although Datang's maritime transport capacity is huge, it needs to be used. To maintain the huge transportation volume of overseas territories and local coastal areas around the world, the number of ships required is a very large number.

At present, the total tonnage of ships in the Datang Empire is a very large number, which has reached a terrifying four million tons, and this data is still growing rapidly.

And this year, the total tonnage of other countries at sea is only how much, and Spain and Portugal are relatively large. They should add up to 200,000 tons.

As for other countries, rising stars such as England and the Netherlands also have hundreds of thousands of tons, and other tens of thousands of tons.

The gross tonnage of ships in other countries is not as much as that of the Datang family!

The gross tonnage of Datang’s ships was not so terrifying more than ten years ago, in the era of sailing, that is, only a few hundred thousand tons. More than 300,000 tons like this.

The reason why it has become so big in the past ten years is that on the one hand, Datang has expanded rapidly around the world, covering the Americas, India, Africa and Europe.

On the other hand, it is because of the emergence of steam steel ships.

The emergence of these steam-steel ships allowed ships to be built larger and larger, and when large-tonnage ships were transported across the ocean, the freight was cheaper, which also prompted merchants to build large-tonnage ships.

In the old days of sailing and wooden ships, a merchant ship was only a few hundred tons, and those over a thousand tons were large ships.

But now the newly built ships, even those that run near sea routes, generally start at 1,000 tons, while the ocean-going ships are more than 2,000-3,000 tons, and large-scale freighters of 4,000-5,000 tons have begun to appear on a large scale.

The rapid increase in the tonnage of transport ships, the decline in steel prices, and the outbreak of the industrial revolution in the empire, the great demand for the transportation of goods, as well as the expansion and immigration to the world, have resulted in the total tonnage of various ships of the Tang Empire. Rapid rise.

Because in this era, whether it is local coastal transportation, inland water transportation, or ocean transportation, a large number of ships are required.

Datang's railways can go from zero to existence in more than ten years, and such a huge railway network can be created at once. The rapid development of shipping is also in the process of cleaning up.

When a huge country with a population of more than 200 million people and a huge empire with a stable political situation and no large-scale civil strife undergoes an industrial revolution, the power that emerges is huge, even the descendants can't imagine.

In the original time and space, Britain, with a population of only tens of millions, was able to develop to such a degree after the Industrial Revolution.

After the Industrial Revolution of the Datang Empire with a population of more than 200 million, the impact will be even greater.

In fact, the tonnage of these millions of tons of ships today is still because Datang is a country with a domestic demand-oriented economy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it is a country with a foreign trade economy like England in the original time and space, this ship is a country with a foreign trade economy. The tonnage has already soared to more than 10 million tons.

After all, Datang's shipbuilding industry is quite developed now. If there is a demand in the market, they can build ships of larger tonnage in a short time.

Because for today's shipbuilding industry, shipbuilding is actually quite simple, and it is far less complicated than a wooden ship belt.

Many small shipyards along the river can build small iron boats with a load of hundreds of tons.

Because if they build ships, they are actually just an assembly factory. As the core, all kinds of steel for ships are provided by several major domestic steel companies, and the processing equipment is provided by machinery companies. For steam engines, domestic manufacturers can now manufacture steam engines. There are a dozen or so, some cheap and some expensive, with power ranging from a few horses to thousands of horses.

At the same time, the technical standards of ships of this year are not as high as those of later generations. For ordinary merchant ships, especially those running in inland rivers and lakes, the requirements of shipowners are actually quite low.

Of course, the technical requirements mentioned here are low, only limited to some civilian ships with low requirements, but military ships and some ocean-going ships have relatively high technical standards.

Therefore, the construction of this type of ship still has certain technical difficulties. It is possible to build large-tonnage shipyards, especially shipyards of more than 5,000 tons. At present, it is not too big in China, and there are only a dozen or so in total.

As for ships capable of building 10,000 tons, there are currently only two, one is Hong Kong Dingsheng Shipyard, and the other is Jiangnan Shipyard, but soon Qingdao Naval Shipyard and Shamian Shipbuilding and other shipyards will also They will gradually have the ability to construct 10,000-ton ships, because their 10,000-ton docks are almost ready to be built.
