Chapter 938 Time Flies
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it is the eighth year of Yongxing, and in the blink of an eye, it is the ninth year of Yongxing, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the tenth year of Yongxing.
For more than two years, Dahua has postponed its efforts to regain the territory.
The current territory is large enough that it will take time to digest.
A large number of unclaimed lands are waiting for them to occupy, a large number of minerals are waiting for them to mine, and a large number of barbarians are waiting for them to educate and rule.
In the whole court, except for the military, other classes have no strong desire for territory.
All classes pay more attention to development and improvement of living standards.
In the past, only major cities were developing rapidly, but during the past three years, all parts of the country are clamoring for development, fairness, and improvement of living standards. .
And as some small counties have also connected railways and kilometers, those small cities also have the conditions for development.
The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, so Wu Changqing naturally couldn't ignore the demands of those places.
Ever since, a large amount of funds have been invested in those counties, and the proportion of military expenditure has dropped again.
At the same time, Edo, Kagoshima, Calcutta, Saigon, Hanoi and other overseas cities have also expressed strong demands for development.
These three years are also known as the period of great development, and the whole country is working together to build.
In the past three years, the country's economy has taken off again.
The country has 75 million kilometers of railway lines, which is about one-fifteenth of the number of flower growers in the 2020s, and all major cities are basically connected.
Of the 25 million kilometers under construction, 30,000 kilometers have been planned, and it is estimated that Yongxing will be completed in 15 years.
During the period of great development, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed, the Shanghai Pudong Bridge was completed, and the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed. …
During the great development period, Dahua built the first expressway, from Nanjing to Shanghai, with a total length of 300 kilometers.
And this opened the door to Dahua's expressway.
With the opening of this expressway, the Ministry of Communications proposed plans for several routes, but Wu Changqing rejected them.
By the tenth year of Yongxing, the total number of motor vehicles in Dahua was only 150,000. Why do we need so many expressways? Show off?
However, it is also true that the number of Dahua Motors is growing rapidly.
Wu Changqing found that in terms of purchasing power, the current Dahua cars are several times cheaper than the cars of later generations.
However, Wu Changqing soon figured it out.
The resources of flower growers in later generations are in short supply, and many resources need to be imported, so the cost is naturally high.
But now Dahua has only one transportation price for all resources.
The high-quality iron ore from Australia is transported to Dahua, only a little mining cost and transportation cost.
To be precise, just a little shipping cost. Those who are responsible for mining the ore are Java natives or African natives, and there is almost no cost.
African natives are sold by Western Europeans, and Dahua has no regulations in this regard for the time being. Those businessmen in the private sector have also started these businesses for profit.
The industry in other countries has not developed, so all kinds of industrial raw materials in the world are so cheap that Dahua businessmen want to laugh.
The lower the manufacturing cost, the lower the selling price.
There is actually only one problem restricting Dahua's automobile manufacturing industry now, and that is talent.
It is not easy to train workers who make cars, otherwise the output would not be so small.
By the tenth year of Yongxing, cars have become a very common thing in Dahua, and in Nanjing there was the first traffic jam in history.
And this scene was also recorded by the camera.
When Dahua officials heard about the traffic jam in Nanjing, their reaction was not a headache, but a happy brow.
This is a symbol of prosperity. Other countries want traffic jams. Are some of them stuck?
In terms of communication, Dahua's telephone lines have also reached most cities.
However, most of them are used in government, military, and public services.
Private telephones are relatively rare, and only very wealthy families can afford them.
And these calls make the world lose the distance, and they can communicate in real time even thousands of miles away.
The development of radio has also made some progress.
The principle of radio is actually very simple, the difficulty lies in the manufacture of equipment.
At present, Dahua's radio transmitting device is still unable to transmit very stable signals. At the same time, the receiving equipment can only receive signals at a short distance, and it is greatly interfered by factors such as terrain and weather.
To solve this problem, we can only continue to improve the radio transmitter and receiver.
By the tenth year of Yongxing, Nanjing, the most technologically advanced city, has entered the era of electrification.
All kinds of electrical appliances have been pouring out in the past three years, such as electric fans, electric kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, and even air conditioners and so on.
Its level of development has almost reached the level of the early twentieth century, and in one or two fields, it is even more than that.
Shanghai and Guangzhou are similar, both close to the level of the early 20th century.
Taking trams, watching movies, and listening to records have become the daily routines of Beijingers.
What some old people like to do most is to come to the park with ore radios, listen to the radio and watch the old lady dance at the same time.
Walking the birds?
That kind of entertainment is too rustic. Nowadays, chasing fashion has become a trend and a culture for the people of Beijing.
No matter how much you like to play with birds, it is easy for other people to take a birdcage to the street.
Jokes and contempt.
Wuhan, Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places were a little less developed, probably at the end of the nineteenth century.
Of course, some super rich families in the city also used the most advanced things.
However, on the whole, it belongs to the late nineteenth century.
At least, these places do not have dedicated cinemas, which are still too extravagant for the time being, and there are not enough audiences after they are built, so they will definitely lose money.
There are also relatively few electrical appliances, mainly because they are expensive.
In terms of performance, today's electrical appliances are actually not very good.
Nanjing people like to use it, mainly because they want to show off and prove that they can keep up with the trend. It is a status symbol.
Moreover, people from other places are not as rich as people from the capital, so naturally they don't want to spend this unjustly money.
The second-tier cities, such as Xuancheng, Chuzhou, and Huainan, do not even have trams.
The reason is the same as there are no movie theaters in Suzhou. The economy of these places is not enough to support the operation of trams.
Even if built, there are not enough passengers.
For those poor people, it is a waste to take a car for things that can be solved with their legs.
Different places in Dahua have very different developments, which basically depend on the degree of wealth of the local area.
In some places like Mongolia, except for a few more large farms, there is not much difference from a few years ago, ten years ago, or even decades ago.
Of course, on the whole, the development of Dahua has been very, very fast.
So much so that Wu Changqing was a little surprised.
