A large number of people have begun to work in small and medium-sized cities near their hometowns, either full-time or temporary during the slack season, which has greatly increased the income of ordinary farmers in rural areas.
This is extremely important!
It is also an important reason for the reduction of the Imperial Food Index!
Because overall, the proportion of low-income groups is the largest, and their food index is the key data that affects the overall food index.
Otherwise, the empire would not have continued to focus on improving the income growth of low-income groups for several years.
At the same time, this is also inseparable from the large amount of cheap food and industrial raw materials from overseas territories.
Forty years after Xuanping, the empire adopted various measures, especially the complete abolition of tariffs, adopted a thorough global free trade system, increased production and reduced prices of basic raw materials such as coal and steel, and greatly reduced the cost of ocean transportation. Large quantities of grain and industrial raw materials can be imported into the country at an acceptable price.
Especially in the Americas, a large amount of grain and meat products are now imported into the local area every year.
This will not only allow the imperial people in the Americas to get more income, but also allow the native people to eat more and cheaper food.
Five years have passed, the empire's economic development plan has achieved preliminary results, and the "global economic integration" behind it has also achieved practical results.
Behind a series of economic measures, there have been a variety of situations that the upper echelons of the empire hope to see, that is, overseas territories, especially the Americas, are becoming more and more economically dependent on the homeland.
Today, the Americas produce a large amount of grain and meat products every year, which cannot be consumed locally. Most of these grains need to be transported and sold locally.
This is not about one or two people, but about the overall interests of nearly 20 million people in the Americas today.
Because immigrants in the Americas are generally agricultural immigrants, they generally own more land and make a living from agriculture and animal husbandry, and most of the products need to be transported to the local area for sale.
This is what the upper echelons of the empire want to see!
With the huge domestic market of the empire, the overseas territorial economy represented by the Americas is directly kidnapped!
In particular, it is directly bound to the agricultural and animal husbandry populations in the overseas territories that account for the majority of the population.
At the same time, by means of global free trade and the complete abolition of tariffs, the cost of transporting local industrial products to overseas territories for sale will be reduced, and the possibility of capital development in overseas territories will be eliminated from the source.
It is possible to set up a possibility that if the capital in the Americas builds its own factories, their technology and cost are definitely not as good as the mature local products.
When local products are transported to the Americas for sale, because of the low shipping costs and no tariffs, in this case, even if the two sides compete, the winner will be the local products.
This is what the upper echelons of the empire want to see, and it is also what most farmers in the Americas want to see.
They want their grain to be sold at a good price, and they want to use cheap and high-quality industrial products!
Even commercial capital in overseas territories can benefit from this process. They can invest in retail, transportation and other industries, and even directly participate in local industries. Even if they no longer build factories in overseas territories, they can still get a lot of profits.
The only people who don't want to see this situation are the overseas feudal lords!
But for the time being, the vassal kings of the empire overseas are still very honest. They can at most make small moves in various aspects and make some preparations in advance, but they still do not have the courage to blatantly oppose global economic integration.
There are even some vassal kings who can benefit from this process.
For example, there are some local feudal lords, and there are no industrial resources in his territory, and some are just large tracts of fertile land.
Even if industrial restrictions are lifted, it is difficult to develop any decent industry.
All he can rely on is a lot of good farmland, so although the feudal lords in these places are somewhat reluctant to the global economic integration of the empire, they will still accept it, and even take the initiative to integrate into it.
This is also an inconspicuous but very important part of the global economic integration of the empire, that is, the differentiation of the interests of overseas feudal lords.
Not every feudal lord has a fief with full industrial potential. There are actually very few that have such potential, and most of them are concentrated in the northern region of America, especially the Five Lakes provinces.
That place is too rich in various mineral resources, and the transportation conditions are good. Even if you look at the world, this kind of place is very suitable for the development of various industries, especially heavy industry.
For this kind of place, the measures taken by the high-level empire are also very targeted. The first is to dispatch officials with strong and flexible skills to serve as governors, and officials who can serve as governors of overseas provinces like the Five Lakes Province are carefully selected by the top officials of the empire. The elected minister.
Each wrist is awesome!
After all, they need to suppress the vassal kings, divide the interests of local elites, stabilize the middle and low-level people, and especially strengthen the overall centripetal force of the middle- and low-level people towards the empire, so as to avoid the tendency to split.
Feng Xinyuan, the former governor of the Five Lakes Province, is one of the most typical representatives!
During his five-year tenure as governor of the Five Lakes Province, the entire American region of the Five Lakes Province has the greatest industrial potential, and is also the most dissatisfied with the local area. Moreover, the lord of this place is the sixth prince, King Zheng, and his influence is huge.
Even so, he still firmly controlled this overseas province, which had the most severe split tendency, under the control of the empire.
Politically, his methods are extremely powerful. Even in the face of King Zheng, he dares to rush directly. After five years in office, there are more than 50 papers for impeaching King Zheng, and many of them have achieved excellent and effective results. results.
In the forty-two years ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Feng Xinyuan collected a lot of evidence, and participated in King Zheng, saying that he was hiding weapons and wooing the generals of the palace guards, intending to rebel.
It was miserable enough for King Zheng to be pitted. He tried his best to install a confidant officer in the palace guard, and was kicked out in one go.
In the end, the Son of Heaven personally decreed that he was imprisoned for a year!
It seems to be grounded, but in fact this is a very serious warning, forcing King Zheng to send a letter asking to return to Beijing to perform filial piety!
With the current political ecology of the Tang Empire, it is not a good thing for the vassal kings to return to Beijing. As early as ten or twenty years ago, the vassal kings were eager to return to Beijing, but now, in fact, few are willing or have the courage to have the capital. of……
I am afraid that I will not be able to come out again when I return to the capital. This is a certain degree of cutting down!
When King Zheng sent a letter requesting to return to Beijing to perform filial piety, he was actually taking retreat as advance, saying that he was willing to voluntarily give up his fief...
Of course, Li Xuan didn't really plan to really remove him from the clan.
