Valley Emperor

Why every household in this place has a horse-drawn carriage, a local official explained to Feng Xinyuan: "The price of horses in the Americas is very cheap, and we are surrounded by farms in West Lake City, so this horse is even cheaper. In fact, it is not only in West Lake City. This is mostly the case in North America, and the number of private horses is very large, and basically every family travels with their own carriage."

​​

"Moreover, our West Lake State is the largest agricultural state in the province. There are farms inside and outside the city. In fact, the people in our West Lake City are also farmers from the surrounding farms!"

​​

Well, Feng Xinyuan has nothing to say about this.

​​

The city residents of West Lake City are not the city residents of the empire in the traditional sense.

​​

Residents of the empire’s native cities are very typical urban residents. They work and earn money to support their families.

​​

But in West Lake City, most of the population of more than 30,000 are actually agricultural people...

​​

Around West Lake City and even in the city are large farms, and the owners of these farms are the residents of West Lake City.

​​

This is also why the urban area of ​​West Lake City is so huge, and occasionally you can see large tracts of farmland and pastures in the urban area...

​​

This family is a farmer, and they keep horses at home. The carriage is also simple. Just find a carpenter to make it, and then drive by yourself.

​​

What can he say about this model...

​​

It can only be said that the mainland of the empire and the North American side, the situation is different...

​​

Here, it seems that it is very common for people to own a private carriage, but in the mainland, private carriages are standard for the middle class, and it is impossible for ordinary people to maintain the cost of private carriages. The main factor is that it is not the horse. Expensive, in fact, the price of horses is not expensive, mainly because you want to have a private carriage, and the maintenance cost is too expensive.

​​

But in this part of America, people keep horses on their own farms, find a carpenter to build a carriage, and drive by themselves.

​​

The whole model seems to be somewhat similar to the rural areas of the empire, but farmers in the rural areas of the empire generally raise cattle instead of horses, and after decades of economic development, especially in the early years, the empire has been supporting rural areas and vigorously promoting breeding Bull policy, direct subsidies.

​​

Therefore, there is a huge amount of cattle in rural areas, and bullock carts are also very common.

​​

What cattle was a strategic material in the previous dynasties did not exist in today's Datang, because there are a lot of cattle in the rural areas of Datang.

​​

This is because the farming modes of the two sides are different. The mainland of the empire, especially the traditional grain-producing areas such as the central and eastern regions, are very typical small and micro-family farms. The farmers have limited land, so they use cattle for farming and farming. Deep plowing to maintain food production.

​​

On the other hand, there is a lot of land in North America. Horse farming is used, and extensive farming is used. It is common for a family to farm hundreds or even hundreds of acres of land.

​​

He walked around continuously, took a carriage, and took a boat. He simply circled around the Great Lakes region. After spending half a month, he finally had a basic understanding of the Great Lakes region under his control.

​​

First of all, it is vast and sparsely populated. It is a huge Five Lakes Province. The area of ​​a single round is larger than most of the mainland provinces of the Empire, and it is much larger.

​​

But the total population is less than two million.

​​

The vast majority of these two million people are agricultural populations, and they grow various crops, including wheat, corn and other types of cash crops.

​​

At the same time, there are also some urban population, engaged in commercial trade, administrative work, etc.

​​

And what makes him very gratified is that there is no modern factory in such a huge five lakes province!

​​

This is a good thing!

​​

You must know that the empire is against all odds, that is, to prevent the industrialization of North America.

​​

After a simple inspection, he has already initially determined his own policy plan!

​​

So soon, he announced through the American edition of the Datang Chaobao that the Five Lakes Province will officially launch the river transport expansion plan.

​​

The main thing is to expand the existing New South Canal!

​​

In addition, it was also announced that the governor's yamen had officially introduced the empire's largest machinery sales company "Yonglai Trading Company" to set up sales points in West Lake City and other places to sell steam engine tractors and other mechanical equipment.

​​

The canal expansion plan, this is nothing. Anyway, the transportation capacity of the new Nanhe Canal is very good. The steam barge can be used to transport barges of more than 1,000 tons.

​​

However, the sales of agricultural machinery and equipment completely stimulated the enthusiasm of the local people.

​​

They had known before that the Empire had launched an economic development plan and approved the application of some machinery and equipment, especially agricultural equipment, in overseas areas.

​​

So they have been waiting, and until now, they have finally waited!

​​

As soon as the news was announced, a large number of farmers came directly to the door of the newly established Yonglai Machinery Trading Company with checks and wanted to purchase steam tractors.

​​

The huge market enthusiasm makes the people of Yonglai Trading Company both pleasantly surprised and worried!

​​

The surprise is that the local sales are naturally good, and it can make money!

​​

The worry is that they don't have so much cargo on hand!

​​

After receiving a large number of scheduled orders, the people of Yonglai Machinery Trading Company Wuhu Branch immediately sent people to the headquarters of the American branch in Xinnangang to apply for the source of goods.

​​

However, the people at Yonglai Machinery Trading Company's American headquarters were also in a daze at this time!

​​

Because it is not just the Five Lakes Provinces that have huge demand for orders, but the entire Americas.

​​

After this loosened the restrictions on agricultural equipment, farmers in the entire North American region set off a mechanical wind, waving checks to buy steam tractors.

​​

Yonglai Machinery Trading Co., Ltd., which has been approved to sell all kinds of civil machinery and equipment in North America, has already started to prepare the supply source~www.wuxiaspot.com~ construction channel since last year, but it is still difficult to meet the huge enthusiasm of the market.

​​

This Yonglai Machinery Trading Company is wholly-owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. It was established at the end of last year. It has a license to sell civil machinery and equipment in North America. It can sell all kinds of machinery and equipment on the list of permitted sales. The business is agricultural machinery.

​​

At the same time, there is also the Meilai Machinery Trading Company, which is responsible for the sales of port facilities and other equipment that is biased towards infrastructure and public services.

​​

These two companies, which can be regarded as standard policy products, were officially established to restrict the sale of machinery and equipment in North America.

​​

In the conference room of Yonglai Machinery Trading Company America Headquarters, a group of people in business attire frowned. One of the young people said:

​​

"There are already orders for 2,000 units. According to our forecast, in the next year, there will be at least 10,000 orders for steam tractors."

​​

"How do we handle so many orders?"

​​

"We don't have that many goods at all!"
