Wild North America 1846

Chapter 445 A strong player in the field of agricultural machinery

The industrial development of New Chang'an has gone through ups and downs. Except for the Chinese industrial capital brought by investment promotion, the rest was all industrialized industries that were accumulated and developed bit by bit with money deducted from finance and taxes by the Royal Territory Governor's Office.

This is also the result of the differentiated strategy of the kingdom's development. In the development blueprint laid out by Emperor Richard himself, no matter which overseas province or royal exclusive territory it is, it will not focus on the development of industry, but will only satisfy its own agricultural and sideline product processing.

For the Lord, the same is true for Paradise Island.

All industrial development is basically concentrated in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. This is the strategy of "Strengthening the Trunks and Weak Branches". The priority is to strengthen the strength of the Tang Kingdom. All development plans must revolve around the "Strong Trunks and Weak Branches" strategy.

, anything that does not comply will be cut off.

The industrial development of New Xi'an is advancing in twists and turns, surviving in the cracks, and growing tenaciously.

It has become the city with the highest industrial level in the surrounding East Indies, Australia and even Southeast Asia. It can basically meet the industrial products needed for its own development, and it also has the ability to be sold overseas. It has to be said to be a miracle of economic development.

Compared with the wild child Xin Xi'an, Salem was really his own son.

According to statistics at the end of 1864;

With a population of 100.48 residents, Salem, a city on the west coast of the Tang Empire, was lucky enough to be ranked as the eighth metropolis with a population of one million in the empire. Unlike New Xi'an, which ranked seventh and had a dominant agricultural economy, Salem was completely based on

An industrial city dominated by heavy industry, it is one of the industrial twin cities in the north.

Its industrial economy accounts for 83.2% of the entire city's economic output, and the rest is the transportation and service industries in the tertiary industry, which is the highest among major cities.

Costa Rica was renamed "Jingzhou", and Gallup, which is rich in minerals, was renamed "Yongzhou". These proposals were rejected one after another. However, the renaming of "Salem" to "Qingzhou City" won the support of the majority of legislators and has been officially passed.

The first potash fertilizer plant of Royal Coast Fertilizer Holdings Company, which represents the world's leading level, is located here. The second and fifth plants subsequently constructed were also located here when they were completed and put into operation.

When you come to Salem, you can see rows of tall chimneys like a forest, emitting black smoke day and night, demonstrating the powerful power of industrialization in the steam age. Even if the sea breeze near the Pacific Ocean blows by the sun and the moon, it cannot be completely dissipated.

Thick black smoke haze.

It is believed that it has met the standards of Europe's first-class shipbuilding companies, especially the horizontal steam engine produced by Salem Steam Engine Factory, which has reliable operation, low power consumption, strong power, and uses various advanced technologies to achieve an advanced level of thermal efficiency of 57%.

Carrying the same amount of coal, the voyage range is 11% longer and the economy is better.

Of course, "Chang'an" brand agricultural machinery is expensive and is the largest export product of the empire's agricultural machinery industry. It is very popular with farmers in the Confederate States of America, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Prussia, Austria and other countries. It has always been among the most popular for many years.

The most popular agricultural machinery brand.

All agricultural machinery factories in Portland are followers. Whenever Changan brand agricultural machinery launches a new product, within half a year, these agricultural machinery factories in Portland will launch similar products with lower prices and decent quality.

The Chicago-Detroit industrial cluster city belt is located in the Great Lakes region's convenient geographical conditions and resources. Relying on a good industrial development foundation, more than a dozen industrial cities have formed a cluster force. Under the nourishment of the empire's vast market, they are rapidly rejuvenating and better than ever.

.

France has ordered 12 5,500-ton steam freeships and 4 10,000-ton fjord-class steam freighters at this shipyard for cargo transportation and colonial needs in South America, the Middle East and Indochina, and has given the best possible treatment to the delivered ships.

good review.

Now some Chinese members of the Imperial Parliament are pushing for a renaming bill, planning to rename "Salem" to "Qingzhou City", Costa Rica to "Jingzhou", and Gallup, which is rich in ores, to be renamed to "Yongzhou"...

The world's number one agricultural machinery producer is Chang'an Agricultural Machinery Factory. Its "Chang'an" brand walking tractors and trailer tractors are fully equipped with power series ranging from 16 horses, 28 horses, 40 horses to 55 horses.

"Chang'an" brand agricultural machinery has advanced performance, solid reliability, and its original series of diesel tractors and various types of agricultural machinery have always been benchmark products in the world's agricultural machinery market. It has strong scientific research capabilities backed by agricultural machinery laboratories.

The Royal Navy's Salem Dockyard will have the world's top shipbuilding capabilities to build bulk carriers of 28,000 to 30,000 tons, passenger ships of 25,000 tons, and iron-clad steam warships of more than 10,000 tons, comparable to Britain's first-class shipbuilding companies.

The Imperial United Steel Company has an annual output of 1.2 million tons of steel, and a 2.8 million tons iron project is also located here. The total investment is as high as 68 million yuan. It is the No. 1 project in the steel industry and is about to be put into production after four and a half years of construction.

The reason

Many Chinese residents feel that the name Salem is neither nice nor easy to remember. It is not as catchy as "Qingzhou" and is more characteristic of Chinese heritage. They feel very comfortable.

Consultation in the House of Commons;

It is equipped with a wide range of agricultural machinery and tools, and is good at all farm work, from farmland plowing, ridging, raking to ditching, harvesting, threshing, field clearing, transportation and so on. It is the founder and leader of the world's agricultural machinery industry and has always been firmly established.

Standing at the forefront of agricultural machinery, it is a textbook for the world's agricultural machinery industry.

As one of the top shipbuilding companies in the Tang Empire, the Royal Navy Salem Shipyard not only undertakes equipment orders for the Royal Navy, but also orders for navies and civilian ships from various countries around the world, and enjoys a high reputation in the industry.

In Portland, you can purchase all the accessories for the production of agricultural machinery without leaving the city, which is very convenient.

Comparison

The twin stars of the northern heavy industrial cities of Salem and Portland are more like individual champions, winning against their opponents in individual industrial categories such as steel, fertilizers, shipbuilding, and agricultural machinery, but falling behind in overall comparison.

Portland, the capital of Oregon Province, had a population of 875,400 at the end of 1864, ranking the ninth largest city in the empire, down three places from the sixth place in 1858, but barely maintaining its status among the top ten cities.

The Royal Navy’s Salem Dockyard 25,000-ton dock construction plan is also located on the coast of Salem. It plans to build three 25,000-ton docks named "A", "B" and "C".

The dock is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 1868.

In ancient times, Dayu divided the nine states based on the direction of the rivers and the trend of the mountains. The nine states were "Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou." The nine states.

The twin industrial cities of Salem and Portland are now the third heavy industrial center in the Tang Empire, ranking behind the two major industrial regions of Chang'an and Los Angeles, and Chicago and Detroit.

None of the other brands in Portland can surpass the price of the "Tianniu" brand, and it will only be lower, thus forming a flying goose structure of the agricultural machinery industry, covering various levels of demand from high to low.

The name change bill has aroused a lot of heated discussion in the society. Many Chinese residents support the name change, especially those who support the renaming of "Salem" to "Qingzhou City". The support for the name change in other areas varies, and the controversy is relatively large.

Because the top two in the ranking are industrial city clusters formed by more than a dozen cities or even more towns, it is difficult to defeat a group of wolves alone!

The Tang Kingdom has always been at the forefront of the world in mechanical power research. Whether it is steam engines, diesel engines or the newly emerged gasoline engines, corresponding research has been at the forefront of the world and has achieved a series of fruitful results.

The third potash plant of Royal Coast Fertilizer Holdings is located in Los Angeles, the fourth plant is located in Taoyuan, the sixth plant planned to invest is located in Chicago, and the seventh plant is located in Jinling. Currently, they are still in the drawing demonstration stage and the corresponding construction projects have not yet started.

Salem is a city where heavy and chemical companies gather. It is also famous for its sophisticated machinery industry. The area produces marine steam engines, steam locomotives, marine diesel engines, various machine tools and equipment, agricultural machinery, etc., and its production scale and advanced nature are huge.

Ranking among the best in the world, it is an important heavy industrial base of the empire.

Its meaning begins with what is recorded in "Shang Shu Yu Gong";

"Yu left Jiuzhou, followed the mountains and dredged the rivers, and paid tribute with the soil. Yu spread the soil, planted trees with the mountains, and laid the foundation for the mountains and rivers."

Portland is rich in coal and iron resources and has 10 small and medium-sized local iron and steel enterprises. It is especially famous in the field of agricultural machinery. In the market competition, the "Tianniu" brand, "Wangwanjia" brand and "Gaowanjia" brand have appeared.

Baotian" brand and "Taishan" brand agricultural machinery occupy the second, third, fourth and seventh places in the world's agricultural machinery market respectively. They have formed an advantageous industrial cluster with complete supporting agricultural machinery parts, such as gear factories, belt factories and agricultural machinery castings.

There are many factories.

Once built

If there are no major changes, after the proposal is passed by the House of Lords and approved by His Majesty the Emperor, Salem will be renamed "Qingzhou" next year or the year after that.

Chang'an to Los Angeles industrial cluster cities have the world's monopoly petrochemical industry, gold, silver and copper smelting enterprises and mints, emerging tram and automobile industries, as well as strong steel, shipbuilding and light textile industries. Their output value and industry

The scale is far ahead of the 2nd and 3rd places, and it is worthy of being called Wei, the largest industrial city in the empire.

It mainly wins the market with high quality and low price. The price of a same 28-horse bucket tractor, equipped with three basic agricultural machinery such as plow, harrow and ridge, is only a little more than 60% of that of the "Chang'an" brand.

In today's steam age

There are too many areas for improvement in relatively primitive steam engines. As long as you are willing to invest in research, you can quickly improve the overall performance of the steam engine and bring it to a more advanced level.

in the 1860s

At a time when patent laws and regulations around the world were imperfect, the blatant imitation by a number of agricultural machinery factories in Portland did not trigger a strong backlash from Chang'an Agricultural Machinery Factory, but instead acquiesced to this phenomenon.

If Portland doesn't imitate it, agricultural machinery factories in Britain, France, the United States and other countries will imitate it. This is something that cannot be stopped and is also nonsense.

Chang'an Agricultural Machinery Factory is a large-scale agricultural machinery enterprise with the backing of royal government investment. Backed by Chang'an City's powerful university research laboratories, it is developing a series of new products such as more powerful heavy-duty diesel tractors, crawler tractors, and bulldozers to further enrich

product line and strengthen its leadership position in the field of agricultural machinery.

These new products with increasingly high technological content cannot be imitated with just a few brushes.
