There are many factors that contribute to the increase in agricultural output value, and the biggest promotion is from two aspects. One is large-scale transportation construction, and the other is the promotion of industrial mechanization.
There is a lot of arable land in the Daheng Empire, not only in the area along the Jing River and Luo River, but also in a large number of inland areas.
These inland, inaccessible lands were far away from navigable rivers, and there were no railways in the early days, making it difficult to transport food. Therefore, land development in these places has never been large-scale.
However, with the empire's large-scale railway construction and the development of the inland and the west, transportation became more convenient, and the transportation of crops became more convenient and cheaper. This attracted a large number of people to the inland areas for agricultural development.
This allowed the Daheng Empire to more than triple its land area in more than ten years.
At the same time, the Daheng Empire has vigorously promoted agricultural machinery for a long time. Most of the arable land in the Daheng Empire is plain type of arable land. The terrain is flat and is extremely suitable for the large farm model. Otherwise, the Daheng Empire will also
There will be no gradual transition from ox farming to horse farming.
Such special advantages are also a great advantage in promoting agricultural mechanization, and agricultural mechanization has also enabled the Daheng Empire to maintain efficient farming while the area of cultivated land has increased rapidly.
Daheng's agricultural model, which is dominated by medium and large farms and adopts mechanized farming, is different from other countries.
Agricultural planting in other countries basically remains on small or even micro-farms. Although mechanization is also used, it is very rare.
Unlike the Daheng Empire, which is all medium and large-scale farms, these large-scale farms have widely adopted mechanized farming, and even if it is not good, they still use large-scale draft horses for farming.
This is also the reason why the Daheng Empire can maintain huge crop production with a small proportion of agricultural population.
This allowed the empire to still have the ability to export large quantities of agricultural products despite rapid population growth.
After the unification war, the country was peaceful and stable, and the population experienced a certain degree of rapid growth. The rapidly growing population naturally consumed more food. However, this did not affect the food supply of the Daheng Empire, and even the food supply was increasing.
rich,
There is no way, Daheng has too much arable land and uses mechanized farming, so there is just so much food!
The agricultural structure of the Daheng Empire is something that other countries cannot learn from. If they want to learn from it, they must first own millions of square kilometers of arable land!
The empire's agriculture has developed so rapidly, so the development of industry, which the empire strongly supports, is even faster.
In the thirteen years of Qian Sheng's reign, based on comprehensive data, the Daheng Empire's industrial output reached an astonishing 18 billion yuan, accounting for about 30% of the world's industrial output.
This data has even surpassed the Kingdom of Krul by a small margin, but of course the number exceeded is not large.
Of course, there are still huge differences in the industrial structures of the two countries. The Daheng Empire's industry is still mainly mid-to-low-end, while the Krul Kingdom's industry is mainly mid-to-high-end.
But in terms of total industrial output value, the two are already at the same level.
Such a huge economic aggregate is the foundation that supports the Daheng Empire's domestic demand, electrification, naval expansion, and even overseas expansion.
However, the manufacturing industry of the Daheng people is too low-end, so on Blue Star, people do not have a very intuitive concept of the industrial strength of the Daheng people. Many people still regard the Daheng Empire as the great empire at the beginning of unification. Heng Empire.
The people of Daheng are a group of barbaric landowners who farm and make a living by exporting food. They want to plunder the lands of other countries and peoples all day long.
As for industry, they naturally know that Daheng people must have industry. After all, they are one of the eight major industrial powers, but they look down upon these industries.
However, the money earned from producing low-end products can also make Daheng people's lives better, arm the army, and expand the navy!
In the summer and July of the 14th year of Qian Sheng, Quping Naval Base.
Liao Weifang Shangqing, commander of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy, presided over the commissioning ceremony of the battleship Baiquan. He looked at the huge battleship Baiquan and then looked at the other three Luohe-class battleships parked not far away in Tingyang.
Liao Wei and Fang Shangqing couldn't help but sigh that after more than three years of hard work, four Luohe-class battleships were finally put into service one after another.
The Luohe battleship, the first ship of this class, officially started construction in December of the 10th year of Qian Sheng. After about two years of hull construction and nearly a year of outfitting, it was finally officially commissioned in January this year.
The second ship Qinghe, the third ship Ninghe, and the fourth ship Baiquan of this class also entered service in the first half of the year.
The above-mentioned four ships are the focus of the Qian Sheng 10th and 11th year shipbuilding plan, and their unique six-main battery layout is very special.
This six-main gun layout was a compromise made based on limited technology and taking into account the various comprehensive factors of long-distance combat.
After its completion, this class of ships did not actually allow foreign navies to follow up, because they believed that this six-main gun battleship seemed to have many main guns, but without a secondary rapid-fire main gun, the combat effectiveness was not high.
In fact, this is indeed the case. At the beginning of this year, the Luo Hai was still undergoing sea trials. During the live-fire test, the Navy itself knew the embarrassment of this kind of warship.
The main gun seems to have powerful firepower, but in the absence of unified fire control, each gun crew works independently and has difficulty observing long-distance targets, which does not meet the long-distance engagement requirements pursued by the navy at all.
For mid-range combat, the amount of ammunition projected is relatively small, and the secondary battery can only rely on the 150mm rapid-fire cannon.
This kind of warship will be at a disadvantage if it goes up against warships equipped with a large number of secondary rapid-fire main guns.
However, this did not affect the Imperial Navy's emphasis on this class of ships. The outside world did not know, but the top brass of the Navy knew that this thing was only used for transition. After the Navy Fire Control Office truly took out the unified fire control, then what should be done? The ship will be able to install a unified fire control system.
By then, the six main guns will be able to come into play.
According to the research and development schedule of the Naval Fire Control Office, after years of research and development, the unified fire control system was officially installed on the ship for live-fire testing in September this year, and the battleship undergoing the test was the battleship Mirror River.
Although this class of ships has been criticized as being too high and too low, the main gun on it is only a 250mm 35 times caliber naval gun. The rapid fire is not very good, and the power is also poor. Compared with some new naval guns, it seems Somewhat behind.
But despite the difference in the main gun of this thing, it has six twin-mounted guns with a total of twelve main guns. The front and rear firepower can reach six, and the side firepower can reach eight.
And the multi-purpose main gun can reflect the power of unified fire control!
