Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 2117: economic binding
In the current Datang Empire, its gross national product is very high. Even if the output value of the agricultural and livestock industries is excluded, and only the output value of the secondary industry and the tertiary industry is calculated, it is still quite terrifying data.
And most importantly, the industrial output value of the Datang Empire currently accounts for more than 99% of the world's total.
The reason why I didn't say 100% is because there are some handicrafts and mining industries in indigenous countries. Although there are few people, it cannot be ignored.
Such a huge gross national product is not a strange thing for the contemporary Datang Empire. The territory of today's Datang Empire is so huge that after the population of more than 300 million was dispersed, many areas were It appears to be sparsely populated.
At present, the local area of the Tang Empire includes East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Australia.
Then there are the local residents who are imperial people, and there is basically no need to worry about the overseas areas that the indigenous infiltrated, including Ceylon Island, Motor Island, North and South America, and Antarctica.
The above areas are all directly controlled and ruled by the empire.
In addition, there are also overseas territories in the traditional sense, such as Gohe State, Bangladesh State, and Pomu State under the jurisdiction of the Indian Affairs Yamen, the West Asian Peninsula under the jurisdiction of the Red Sea Affairs Yamen, and Egypt in Northeast Africa.
A series of coastal territories in central and southern Africa such as South Africa under the jurisdiction of the African Affairs Yamen.
Part of the coastal territories of Northwest Africa under the jurisdiction of the European Affairs Yamen, such as Ceuta, the Danish Islands, etc.
And the above is still not all the territories of the Tang Empire. For example, many territories under the jurisdiction of various affairs yamen, in addition to these state capitals such as Ceuta, there are quite a few embassy districts, leased land, and some are set up state capitals. However, in the areas close to the natives, there are finally colonies that are indirectly controlled by supporting agents, puppets, etc.
Taking all of these into account, it is the entire territory of the Tang Empire.
How big is its territory? To be honest, even the people of the Tang Empire themselves do not know, because many places are still relatively vague, and it is not easy to calculate.
And the radiation ability of the industry and commerce of the Datang Empire directly radiates the world.
In addition to the output and market of the Tang Empire's own territory, other indigenous countries are basically the raw material suppliers and market dumping grounds of the Tang Empire.
The Kingdom of Scotland in the British Isles and the Kingdom of England, what is their mainstay economy?
Aside from the grain they grow and eat, their two biggest commodities are coal and wool!
Because these two commodities are the largest export commodities they can produce, and they are also the main commodities that Datang acquired in the British Isles.
They rely on the export of coal and wool to obtain the foreign exchange of Datang Yuan, which is used to purchase the ordnance and equipment of the Datang people to maintain the war, the cloth, woolen materials and silk clothing of the Datang people, and various export-oriented industrial products of the Datang people. , such as kerosene lamps and matching kerosene.
If they can't export wool and coal, then they can't buy all kinds of goods from Datang.
Because of the wool and coal trade, which were extremely important to the two kingdoms of the British Isles, this also led to a continuous decline in the area of arable land in the British Isles, as a large number of fertile fields were converted into pastures for sheep by the nobles.
At the same time, a large number of people began to enter the coal mining areas controlled by the nobles as miners.
Well, there is a big difference between the coal mines of the English and the coal mines of the Tang Dynasty. Digging coal in the coal mines under the control of the English nobles is much more dangerous than going to the battlefield.
The British Isles are a very typical source of raw material supply and market sales in the Tang Dynasty.
Similarly, the Kingdom of Spain, the Ottoman Kingdom, Naples and other kingdoms are similar in that they all export some industrial raw materials to Datang and purchase Datang's industrial products.
Now even the Tatars are beginning to fully integrate into the global economic system of the Tang Dynasty.
In the early years, although the Tatars had begun to export wool and other materials to Datang through third countries, and purchased some industrial products from Datang, the scale was not large.
After the Datang Empire and the Golden Kingdom of Tatar signed a thorough trade agreement, the Golden Kingdom of Tartar, driven by economic interests, has spontaneously started to expand the production capacity of animal husbandry to obtain more wool for export. ,
At the same time, they are still mining some of the minerals discovered under their governance, and sell them to the Tang people after they are mined.
This shows the impact of Datang's economy on the world.
Well, as long as the demand for industrial raw materials such as coal and wool in Datang falls, it can directly hit the economy of a large number of indigenous countries.
In the past, due to the substantial increase in coal production in the mainland and the Americas, the Datang Empire no longer needed to import coal from the indigenous countries in many areas, which severely damaged the coal economy of many indigenous countries, and in the British Isles, it was directly triggered. The coal war in England, and finally even the kingdom of Scotland was a war, and now in the British Isles, the flames are full of fire, and the fight is lively.
The reason is to compete for the share of coal exports!
As long as Datang people have so much coal~www.wuxiaspot.com~, whoever can get more export share will be able to get more Datang foreign exchange.
It's a pity that no one agrees with the other, they are still fighting, and it is estimated that it will not be over in a few years.
In fact, it is not just the economic models of these indigenous countries that are already bound to the economy of the empire. In fact, other regions of the empire, such as the Americas and other regions, are also deeply bound to the economy of the empire.
In the 40th year of Xuanping's reign, the Tang Dynasty announced the "Global Economic Development Plan", which has now entered its fourth year of implementation.
In the past four years, the Datang Empire has actively expanded the import of industrial raw materials, agricultural and livestock products and other non-industrial products from various overseas territories. Transport freighters, popularize mechanized farming and other methods to reduce the cost of basic raw materials such as grain and coal.
It enables a large number of materials from overseas territories to flow into the mainland at a price that a local resident can accept.
This allows local residents to enjoy abundant agricultural products and cheaper industrial raw materials.
At the same time, it also allows the citizens of the empire in the overseas territories to obtain more abundant income.
Today, many ocean-going freighters continue to sail in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean every day, closely binding the economy of the empire and overseas territories.
It effectively alleviated the conflict of interests between the local and overseas territories that appeared in the early years.
And this kind of economic binding will be further deepened in the future.
