Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1994: Economic Integration Plan

In the report, it was declared that although the territory of the empire was extensive, its resources were extremely scarce. Whether it was iron ore, coal, oil or other minerals, it was not very rich.

However, in overseas territories and indigenous territories, various resources are extremely rich.

For example, in North America, there are almost all kinds of resources, and in India, Africa and other regions, there are countless minerals waiting to be discovered.

At the same time, the oil exploration team of the empire has already discovered oil in the deserts of the Red Sea region of West Asia, and even found traces of oil in the Balkan Peninsula under the control of the Ottoman Empire.

Then he said that the industrial and commercial development of the empire is extremely rapid, the consumption of various resources is an astronomical figure, and now it is increasingly difficult for the local side to supply so many resources, so the follow-up large-scale development of overseas resources is inevitable. .

Then came the people from the Ministry of Commerce who also spoke, saying that the enterprises in the empire are developing very rapidly. Although the domestic market is huge, the overseas market is also becoming more and more important, especially when more and more citizens of the empire move overseas. , the overseas market will inevitably evolve from the supplement of the current local market to a huge market comparable to the local market.

How should I put it, in the subsequent second and third day of the meeting, although various reports said different things, in fact, the core argument is one, that is, the empire needs many overseas resources.

As for why this is the case, in fact, many important imperial officials are well aware of it.

Because at the previous imperial duty meeting, the nine core ministers of the current Datang Empire and the Son of Heaven discussed how to alleviate the conflict between the homeland and overseas territories, how to make the homeland and overseas territories more closely linked, and how to avoid the possibility of potential mutiny in overseas territories. time of sex.

In addition to many old arguments, Chen Lifu, as the minister on duty currently in charge of the economic development of the empire, has put forward a very interesting idea!

That is 'economic integration'!

At that time, Chen Lifu said: "If the economic system of the mainland of the empire and many overseas territories are completely bound together, and once the overseas territories are separated from the local economic system, they will face a situation of complete economic collapse, then Will they still rebel?"

"Humans do things that are not good or even bad for people to eat and kill birds? Even if a few people are willing, will most people be willing?"

In terms of how to deal with potential mutiny in overseas territories, Li Xuan never felt that military repression and restricting localization could solve the problem. Therefore, these measures were only unilateral restrictions and did not resolve conflicts of interest.

Even the subsequent differentiation measures proposed can only be regarded as resolving part of the conflict of interest.

However, the "economic integration" proposed by Chen Lifu gave Li Xuan a glimmer of hope.

If the global economic system of the Datang Empire is built more closely, so that overseas territories need to pay a huge price after they are separated from this economic system, then most people can avoid the thoughts they should not have.

As for the few stubborn ones, they naturally resorted to military strikes and other means.

And how can we better bind overseas territories with the mainland, and how can we better achieve economic integration.

This is the core of this expanded imperial meeting.

Of course, this strategy is impossible to say publicly. If it were to be said publicly, it is estimated that many feudal lords and some other few people would be in a hurry.

All they want is localization, not that overseas territories and the mainland are completely bound together, which is not in their interests.

After several consecutive days of reporting meetings, Chen Lifu, as a cabinet representative, put forward a package of economic development plans.

Including the expansion of the import volume of overseas agricultural products and industrial raw materials, and the most important thing is to completely cancel the tariffs of various names between the empire's mainland and overseas territories, whether it is export or import, all tariffs will be abolished.

The quoted statement is that overseas territories are also part of the empire's territory, and trade between the empire's territories does not need to pay customs duties of any nature.

This measure, also known as the global free trade system.

This free trade system sounds like it treats overseas territories and the mainland together, but in fact almost the entire economic integration policy is to bind the overseas territories and the mainland together, and the free trade system in this article is no exception.

All kinds of tariffs have been cancelled, which means that if the agricultural products and mineral resource products of overseas territories are transported to the mainland for sale, there is no need for any taxes and fees. Similarly, various industrial products from the empire’s mainland are exported to overseas territories. Pay any customs duties.

This will further reduce the cost of trade between home and overseas territories.

At the same time, in order to further reduce the cost of maritime trade and further develop trade between the mainland and overseas territories, the empire will introduce a series of maritime support policies.

Including shipbuilding subsidies, coal subsidies, etc.

The more important thing is to support larger-scale coal mining and further increase coal supply~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and reduce coal prices.

In today's shipping costs, coal costs are a major item. Reducing coal costs can directly reduce shipping costs by a large margin, which will further stimulate overseas trade.

But the point is not this. The point is that the Import and Export Committee will release a large number of official industrial products, especially the industrial equipment needed for ordinary life.

Including agricultural machinery, construction machinery, port facilities, and even the relaxation of railway restrictions, etc.

On this basis, mechanical agricultural production and mechanical mineral development will be fully implemented in overseas territories to meet the empire's growing demand for food, industrial raw materials,

In the future, all citizens of the Empire, whether you live locally or overseas, will be able to enjoy the various conveniences brought by the development of the Empire's science and technology, whether it is food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

This economic development plan, once announced, completely caused a national sensation!

This news has not yet appeared in the Datang Chaobao, but it has already been spread throughout the empire through cable telegrams in the form of express messages. The meeting has not ended that day. On the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Guangzhou Stock Exchange, a large number of stocks It's soaring in an instant!

Almost all industries such as steel, shipbuilding, energy, machinery manufacturing, etc. have experienced soaring to varying degrees, especially the American Mining Company, which has many mines in North America and is the largest mine owner in the Americas, but Because of the high cost of artificial mining and the high freight costs, North American mining companies can only develop gold, silver and other precious metal minerals on a small scale.

After nearly 20 years of hard work, spring is finally here!

This company, which has just ushered in spring, has already changed its owner in advance.
