Chapter 598 Economic Aggregate and Comparison in 1872

In 1872, the overall national economy of the Tang Empire developed rapidly. Driven by the strong demand from the two major export factors of France and Germany, foreign trade showed a strong growth of 32.1%.

The Franco-Prussian War had a strong impact on Europe. As Europe's main exporter of agricultural products, the war caused large tracts of farmland to be abandoned in France, and agricultural production suffered heavy losses.

A large-scale smuggling wave hit. Faced with the influx of high-quality and cheap agricultural products from North America, tens of thousands of French small and medium-sized farmers went bankrupt, leaving the international market in jeopardy.

The war caused France to suddenly become an importing country from a major agricultural exporting country in Europe. The original international markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Norway, and Sweden were successively occupied by North American and South American agricultural products, and they gradually became dependent on them.

In the future, Germany will have a large shortage of agricultural products. Grain and daily necessities imported from North America account for more than 30% of the domestic market share, replacing France as the largest supplier of agricultural products.

The Franco-Prussian War not only reshaped the European strategic landscape, but also reshaped the European agricultural product market. The biggest beneficiary turned out to be the Tang Empire. This was something no one expected.

Late 1872

After accounting, the total national economy of the Datang Empire increased by 11.3% compared to the previous year, with the total economic volume reaching 5.17 billion Tang Yuan, firmly establishing itself as the second largest economy in the world.

Horizontal comparison

Compared with 1869, the total economic volume of the Tang Empire was approximately 76% of the size of the British economy, which ranked first, showing a trend of catching up at a high speed.

Three years of rapid economic development, especially due to the strong demand driven by the Franco-Prussian War, has given rise to increasingly strong growth momentum.

The Tang Empire continued to lead the world in the development of the second wave of industrial revolution led by electrification and chemical industry. 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 trend of catching up and surpassing it.

In 1872, the total national economy of the United Kingdom was calculated to be 1.162 billion pounds, equivalent to approximately 5.81 billion Tang yuan, a difference of approximately 640 million Tang yuan.

According to this development momentum, it is expected that between 1874 and 1875, the overall economic scale of the Tang Empire will surpass that of the United Kingdom and become the largest economy in the world.

The uncertain factor here is the situation in Europe that has returned to calm from turmoil...

At the end of 1872, under repeated urging from Britain and other European countries, the German Empire finally reluctantly ended its military occupation of the northern provinces of France and withdrew its troops back home.

Following this, France resumed comprehensive control over customs, vigorously curbed the large-scale smuggling that had been rampant for a long time, and cracked down on the dumping of low-priced North American products into the French market.

France acted very quickly, with immediate results, and its domestic market is gradually recovering. Many French small and medium-sized farmers have returned to their long-abandoned manors to start leveling the land and preparing for agricultural production in the new year.

Under the protection of its high agricultural tariffs, it is expected that the Tang Empire will lose most of the French agricultural market. This is an indisputable fact.

Fortunately, during the Franco-Prussian War, the Tang Empire took advantage of the situation and captured a considerable share of the European agricultural market. Exports to France accounted for only 13.5% of the total exports to Europe. The most important export markets of the United Kingdom and the German Empire were not affected.

Looking forward to the new year, the overall growth of the national economy will decline significantly, and the international trade situation is not optimistic and may shrink to a certain extent.

This reflects the fact that many domestic manufacturers are reducing production capacity, and more farms and plantations are turning to planting cash crops, such as natural rubber, sugar cane, sugar beet, melon and fruit trees, oranges and apples, grape tobacco, etc., for diversified development.

This is also the result of the government's guidance through newspapers and public opinion. From the beginning of the year to now, various forward-looking policy analyzes and international situation analyzes have emerged one after another, which has sounded the alarm to the majority of plantation owners.

If you are really stubborn and stubborn, there is nothing you can do.

The Tang Empire was the largest producer of agricultural products in the world, and it maintained a huge number of private farms. Those that could not adapt to market competition could only be eliminated, and no one could save them.

What is gratifying is that the population of the Tang Empire grew steadily and powerfully, 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.

The population size alone is nearly double that of the British Isles.

The abundant demographic dividend provided a steady stream of labor force for the industrial development of the Tang Empire, ensured a continuously expanding domestic market and a prosperous domestic trade pattern, and was also the basis for the economic development of the empire.

The Tang Empire adhered to the national policy of immigration for decades and steadily imported about 1.2 million to 1.4 million Chinese immigrants from mainland China every year, all of whom were young and middle-aged labor force.

besides

There are also a large number of Chinese immigrants who spontaneously enter the United States of America, the Confederate States of America, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Australia and other countries and regions, with the number ranging from 300,000 to 350,000 per year.

Through these overseas diasporas, the empire's influence on the above-mentioned North and South American countries has gradually increased, and 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". The leader of the party, 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 mainly composed of Chinese and Italians, and has attracted a large number of lower-class Latino people to join. It 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, big Chinese capitalists basically control the country's financial industry, mining industry and transportation industry. Their influence has penetrated into all aspects of heavy industry, real estate, and commercial trade, and their presence is almost everywhere.

As the "Liberal Party" that can represent the interests of Chinese capital, it is naturally particularly favored. It is especially powerful in New York State, where Chinese capital gathers.

There is nothing wrong with choosing someone other than yourself.

On the surface, Liberal Party leader Zhang Zongliang has nothing to do with the Tang Empire. In fact, his father-in-law is General Fan Pengju, who once served as the commander-in-chief in the United States. His third brother, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Zonghe, serves in the Seattle Garrison Command and is a senior imperial officer.

officer.

in recent years

The United States of America's attempts to break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty are getting louder and louder. Some democrats and Jews hold high the anti-Tang banner, winning the support and attention of many people.

Some people suggest;

Follow the example of France, repay huge war reparations in advance, take back control of the customs of the United States of America, take back the power 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, some Germans, and the Dutch. They 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 cause trouble and engage in some shameful little actions.

The network of power that the Tang Empire had weaved in the United States of America for more than ten years was no joke. The pro-Tang forces counterattacked quickly and fiercely, launching a series of suppressions against democrats and Jews.

First of all, in newspapers and public opinion

There was an overwhelming amount of portrayals of the greedy faces of the Jews and various smear articles, especially the evil deeds of Jewish loan sharks, which were widely publicized in the form of a short story every day.

As time goes by, people's impression of him becomes even worse.

Subsequently, the tax authorities conducted intensive tax inspections against financial operators, holding banks and loan sharks, factories and commercial banks, which were mainly Jewish, and a large number of tax evasion cases were revealed.

For a time, the reputation of the Jews was like a street rat smelling bad on the street.

Jewish financial influence 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 went bankrupt one after another, and many criminals were involved in numerous lawsuits.

There is an invisible hand that seems invisible, promoting the complete liquidation of Jewish capital.

North American Jewish capital, which had not yet established a firm foothold and was fully formed, collapsed after being hit hard and disappeared from the markets of various North American countries, never to make any waves again.

Even some Jewish capitalists who were lucky enough to escape went to Europe and never dared to set foot on this sad and unforgettable international market.

in North America

The most fierce competition with Chinese capital is Jewish capital, which has been suppressed everywhere after the rise of the Tang Dynasty. Especially in the North American Unified Market formed after the victory of the North American War, Jewish capital has received special attention and has been oppressed to the point where it cannot lift its head.

.

Years of resentment gathered in the heart, naturally broke out under the instigation of the British, French and other well-intentioned people, becoming the drum and bugler at the forefront.

The Jews have money but no influence. If they don't cause political strife, who will you?

Without affecting the British, French, and German big capitalists, big factory owners, and the upper class, the European media and the local media in the United States were actually silent because of Europe's dislike of Jewish traditions.

Sitting back and watching Jewish capital being madly attacked by the government's legal and tax authorities, one by one died of exhaustion, paying an irreparable heavy price.

This is the price of the most vicious clown. After suffering a precise block, he died a very frustrated and miserable death!

Speech that hates the Tang Dynasty has been vigorously suppressed, and some high-profile celebrities have exposed scandals. Some have committed adultery, some have taken bribes, some have engaged in prostitution and gambling, and some have been convicted of crimes and have fallen into big troubles.

In trouble.

The Chinese capital that formed a group also began to take action, kicking out some employed bank executives, certain newspaper editors were fired, famous baseball players were laid off or benched, and professors were dismissed from schools under ridiculous excuses.

I terminated my employment and went home to eat old corn.

This is the most terrifying thing, it can destroy your job at every turn.

Let’s take stock of New York, a metropolis hijacked by Chinese capital. What proportion does it account for in the economy?

The entire Manhattan of New York City is owned by Datang Royal Capital. The New York Port Authority, major ports and shipping companies, major banks, several major telegraph offices, railway companies and other large enterprises are almost all controlled by Chinese capital or play a leading role.

There are approximately 560,000 Chinese in New York, accounting for more than a quarter of the total population. They have almost complete control over the commercial trade and financial industries. The power under the water is even more astonishing.

In the Appalachian Coalfield, the largest enterprise in the United States of America, the Datang royal family and government funds jointly hold more than 40% of the equity. They have long held important positions such as chairman, executive director, and general manager, and are the de facto talkers.

When the power of capital began to fight back, everyone obediently shut their mouths.
