- "Invest tens of millions of taels of silver to build a bridge!"
¡°Hundreds of millions are invested in infrastructure every year, and trains and railways can travel thousands of miles every day!¡±
Simon listened to Brown¡¯s words and opened his mouth wide.
I was extremely shocked in my heart.
On the one hand, I was shocked by the generosity of the people of Ming Dynasty, with their casual investments amounting to tens of millions of taels of silver. On the other hand, I was even more shocked by the wealth of Ming Dynasty.
It¡¯s easy to invest tens of millions of taels of silver, and hundreds of millions are invested in building railways. It¡¯s so rich.
It¡¯s as if the people of Ming Dynasty had too much money to use up, and they just threw it everywhere. 强牺 lingchenks.com 读牺
"The people of Ming Dynasty spent such a huge price on infrastructure construction. Is it worth it?"
Simon sighed and thought at the same time.
"Of course it's worth it~"
"The Ming Dynasty is not a European country. European countries are very small. The whole of Europe combined is about the same size as the Ming Dynasty."
"It is not an easy task to rule such a vast territory."
¡°In addition to cultural unification and recognition, it is more important to continuously strengthen centralization. Therefore, since ancient times, people in the Ming Dynasty have been thinking about how to strengthen centralization, consolidate rule, and maintain a unified situation.¡±
¡°The major infrastructure construction is also conducive to strengthening the central government¡¯s control and connections with various localities. Wherever the railway goes, transportation will become extremely convenient and fast.¡±
¡°After the construction of the railway network covering the Ming Dynasty, which travels thousands of miles a day, the Ming Empire will be able to travel extremely quickly to any place, and it will be as tightly connected as an iron barrel.¡±
"What's more, once the infrastructure is built, travel between places will become faster and more convenient. Even if there is a disaster, food and materials can be easily dispatched from other places for disaster relief."
"The Ming Dynasty Daily has reported in detail about this time. In the past, when the Yellow River overflowed and there was a famine, it used to take ten days and a half to mobilize food from the Jiangnan area. But now, as soon as the railway is connected and the order comes, it can be done on the same day. Truckloads of grain were transported directly to the disaster area by train."
"Even the Ming Empire can quickly mobilize food from Liaodong, the Western Regions, Henan and other regions to provide disaster relief."
"The Beizhili region in the Ming Dynasty was originally a large granary with vast fertile fields, but now, Beizhili no longer produces any grain. All the grain needed by the huge population in the Beijing-Tianjin region comes from Liaodong, Jiangnan, and It was transported from the Nanyang region."
¡°All this is due to the increasingly convenient transportation in Ming Dynasty and the developed waterway transportation, which makes transportation between various places extremely convenient.¡±
"If you look at it in Europe, it would be to mobilize food from Poland in Eastern Europe to Spain for disaster relief. Do you think it is possible?"
¡°I¡¯m afraid this food will be used up before it reaches Spain.¡±
Brown nodded solemnly and said.
Simon still has the mentality of a small European country with few people, and has not yet fully realized the importance and significance of developed transportation to a huge empire.
"That's it~"
After listening to this, Simon finally understood something.
¡°This is why the local economy of Ming Dynasty has increasingly developed regional characteristics.¡±
"For example, the Liaodong region has fertile black soil, vast remoteness, sparsely populated areas, and is very suitable for large-scale farming. Therefore, the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty has gradually become the most important granary of the Ming Dynasty."
"According to last year's statistical data, the food produced in Liaodong alone is enough for the entire Ming Dynasty. The flour produced in Liaodong is sold well all over the Ming Dynasty. Even many vassals and colonies in Japan, Korea, and the Ming Dynasty are popular in eating Liaodong food. of white noodles.¡±
¡°Liaodong Province also vigorously develops agriculture because there is a lot of land there, so mechanized farming is very popular.¡±
Brown thought of the newspapers he read last year, and also described to Simon some things happening in the Ming Dynasty.
¡°What is mechanized farming?¡±
When Simon heard this, he was dumbfounded. Mechanized farming?
I have never heard of it. This farmland is still mechanized?
¡°The so-called mechanized farming refers to the large-scale use of machinery to cultivate land.¡± At this time lingc*henks.c*om Zhang Si
¡°The Ming Dynasty people used steam engines as power plants.?, invented a series of farming machines, such as cultivators, seeders, harvesters, mills, etc., a series of machines powered by steam engines, and also introduced relevant preferential policies, and interest-free loans were provided for the purchase of machines. Installment payment, government subsidies, etc. "
"This series of measures has also allowed agriculture in Liaodong to develop rapidly. The cultivated area is very large. Now it is said that it has been cultivated as far north as the Heilongjiang River Basin. Mechanized farming is extremely efficient and only requires a small amount of The population can cultivate large areas of farmland, so food production increases every year.¡±
¡°In addition, the Ming government also has a Ministry of Agriculture responsible for agriculture. There are officials who search for high-yielding seeds around the world, are responsible for cultivating grain seeds, promoting good farming methods and grain seeds, etc.¡±
¡°It only took them two years for the corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes introduced from Huangjin Island to be spread to every place in the Ming Dynasty, allowing the grain production in the Ming Dynasty to increase year after year, and there is no need to worry about hunger anymore. "
"The Liaodong region is the granary of the Ming Dynasty, and the provinces of the North, Western Region, Hezhong, Northwest and Central Asia are the meat warehouse of the Ming Dynasty. These places have vast grasslands and water tanks."
"Vigorously develop animal husbandry to provide Ming Dynasty with a steady stream of horses, cattle and sheep. With the opening of the train, many special trains transporting cattle, sheep and horses travel between the mainland of Ming Dynasty and outside the country every day, bringing a source of supply to the dining tables of the people of Ming Dynasty. Constant meat eating.¡±
"Beizhili, Shandong and Ryukyu in the Ming Dynasty became the vegetable and fruit warehouses of the Ming Dynasty."
"Beizhili is backed by the Beijing-Tianjin area and has an extremely vast market. In recent years, it has also become popular to grow greenhouse vegetables and develop breeding industries, providing a continuous supply of vegetables and fruits to the Beijing-Tianjin area."

"What greenhouse vegetables?"
When Simon heard this, he immediately asked again.
¡°The so-called greenhouse vegetables are made by covering the greenhouse with transparent glass or the popular rubber film for heat preservation, so that in the cold winter, vegetables can be produced in the greenhouse and vegetables can be eaten in winter.¡±
Brown explained that he had never seen it, but it was reported in the newspaper. To be honest, he didn't believe it at first, how could it be possible to grow vegetables in this winter.
But later he met a Ming Dynasty man who had moved to Chixia City from Tianjin. After hearing him tell this story, he felt that it should be credible.
This time z.com Zhang Si. Even things like trains and steamships have appeared, and the appearance of vegetable greenhouses does not seem to be an unusual thing.
¡°Growing vegetables in a greenhouse in winter?¡±
Simon was also dumbfounded. This was the first time he heard that vegetables could be grown in winter.
"Don't believe it?"
¡°I haven¡¯t seen it either, and I didn¡¯t believe it at first, but it should be true.¡±
Brown looked at Simon¡¯s dumbfounded look and immediately laughed.
"Growing vegetables in winter, the people of Ming Dynasty really thought of it."
Simon smiled and shook his head. Daming did things that he never dared to think about.
强牺 miaoshuyuan.com 读牺。"It is not necessary to grow vegetables in winter What the hell~"
"The people of the Ming Dynasty actually grew vegetables in the Ryukyu and Nanyang regions at the beginning. These places are close to the equator and are still very warm even in winter. The vegetables and fruits they grew were transported to the north of the Ming Dynasty by fast ships for sale. The profits are very high.¡±
"Nowadays, ordinary vegetables cost one or two cents per catty. In winter, they can be sold for more than ten cents or dozens of cents per catty. The profit is huge. Therefore, greenhouse vegetables have been gradually developed and greenhouses have been built. Come and grow vegetables.¡±
¡°The vegetable varieties grown by people in the Ming Dynasty also come from all over the world, and many European vegetable varieties have been promoted and grown on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty.¡±
