After several major shipyards have moved away one after another, many local aircraft manufacturing plants and tank and armored vehicle manufacturing plants in the Ming Dynasty will also be moved overseas in phases.
Employees at the Beidu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant will be relocated to Kursk with the same climate, where giant iron mines have already been developed.
Steel plants and various metal smelters are enough to ensure the supply of basic raw materials for aircraft manufacturing, and the tanks, tanks and armored vehicle manufacturing plants in Beidu will also be moved there.
Zhu Cixiang has designated a piece of land in an area north of Kursk as a site for a heavy industrial park.
In addition to supporting railways, highways, airports, and warehouses, nearby family quarters, hospitals, shops, cinemas and other facilities are also basically completed.
Specifically, it is a heavy industrial satellite city near Kursk, which can produce major weapons besides ships.
The Beidu Automobile Factory will also be moved there, creating a scale effect, and the cluster of heavy industry companies will make it easier for Zhu Cixiang to complete the inspection in one visit.
It is not that the city of Kursk cannot be expanded, but there is no doubt that it is more convenient to use a large piece of wasteland as a park.
Another important reason is that Kursk is very close to Donbas, and a large amount of coal must be used for ironmaking.
Beidu's automobile factories, motorcycle factories, bicycle factories, aircraft factories, artillery factories, and armored vehicle factories will all be moved there together.
I believe that once the move is completed, Kursk will become the largest remaining industrial city in the entire Ming Empire.
It is expected to produce 1 million cars, 2 million motorcycles, 10 million bicycles, 5,000 aircraft, 3,000 tanks, 5,000 armored vehicles, and 3,000 artillery pieces annually.
Together with a wide range of other metal products, they can all be shipped to various parts of Europe by rail.
In an era without long-range ballistic missiles, this kind of intensive planning did not pose a big problem.
The iron ore reserves in the Ural Mountains are only about 15 billion tons, which is almost one-third of the Kursk mining area.
But this did not delay Emperor Haojing from developing it, since the Rakshasa Kingdom would not have any use for it anyway...
The advantage of this area is that it not only has a large amount of iron ore, but also reserves 2 billion tons of coal, and most attractively, 15 billion tons of oil and 40 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
In addition, manganese ore resources account for 30% of the Northland, and bauxite accounts for a quarter. It also contains chromium, molybdenum, copper, zinc, nickel and other metals.
With existing technology, it is of course impossible to develop all of these resources, but part of the early development is completely possible.
Both Anshan Iron and Steel Plant and Benxi Iron and Steel Plant will be moved to the area, with the former located in Yecheng and the latter located in Checheng.
There is no shortage of raw materials in the industrial areas of the two cities, and there is also a northern railway line running through it. Transportation is not a problem, and the pressure on the Kursk Industrial Area can be shared.
After establishing the western industrial zone dominated by Kursk and the central industrial zone dominated by Che and Yecheng.
In order to balance the Far East, Zhu Cixi also ordered the establishment of the Eastern Industrial Zone, mainly composed of Il City and Ulan City.
After the move to the Kifu Industrial Zone, the sales direction of the local products produced in the mining area in the southern part of the grassland will also change.
However, it is definitely not cost-effective to transport thousands of miles westward. It is better to explore and produce in Coors.
Even if France takes over all the Three Northern Regions, because its population is only 50 to 60 million, its ability to digest industrial raw materials is limited compared to the Ming Empire.
Under this circumstance, all semi-finished products produced by the smelters in the grassland mining areas can only be transported to the industrial cities around Lake Baikal for reprocessing.
Some people recall that after being processed into industrial consumer goods, don’t they still have to be transported thousands of miles away in order to sell them to the market?
It is correct to think so, but it is only in line with the previous local conditions.
Especially after the big move began, the Northern Railway area in Northland suddenly became the best place.
Why is this happening?
Because just the area along the railway east of the Ural Mountains will be home to 20 million people.
There will be 10 million people living north of this serpentine zone, which was simply unimaginable before.
Using statistics from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development a year ago, the permanent population of North City was 750,000, that of South City was 2.23 million, and that of East City was 630,000.
Boli has 650,000, Hailanpao has 660,000, and Qingcheng has 420,000.
Bibi has 610,000, Fertile Land has 780,000, and Noka has 800,000.
The most populous cities are Chita, Il City, and Ulan City!
The total population of the twelve cities is close to 15 million, which is almost equivalent to more than a quarter of the population of France.
Is it over?
of course not!
The total population of the Central Xianbelia urban agglomeration is approximately 6.6 million.
The urban agglomeration in the northern part of Zhongzhou and south of the Ural Mountains has a permanent population of up to 10 million.
The combined population of these three regions reached 32 million, more than half the population of France, and more than the populations of the Netherlands and Prussia combined.
There are not only the original indigenous people and the newly arrived immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, but also the Rakshasa, Poli, German, Bohemian, Moravian, and Spaniards who were successively captured by the Ming army. , Portuguese, British, Neapolitans, Cossacks, plus black people who had worked in the mining areas and chose to retire early.
In general, Ming people account for more than 50% of the local population. This proportion is conducive to local peace and stability, and Germans and blacks are good helpers to the local government...
If anyone feels that he likes an unfettered life, he can migrate north and settle north of 60 degrees north latitude.
You may not be able to see a human figure for ten miles over there, and the number of wild animals far exceeds that of humans!
It is impossible for a group of disobedient prisoners to be sent to the Ming Dynasty. Going to the United States and Australia will also cause chaos.
Emperor Haojing simply arranged for them to stay in the north and let them calm down and reflect.
If that doesn't work, then drive them all to places north of 60 degrees north latitude!
Because the mountains block the Siberian cold current and the warm North Atlantic current, the temperature west of the Ural Mountains is five to ten degrees higher.
Not counting Belarus, there are more than 30 cities with a population of more than 500,000. Including the rural population, the total is about 30 million.
The total population of the entire Northland is around 80 million. Adding in the 200 million that have been transferred over, it will be about 500 million in the future, which is still within a completely bearable range.
People inside and outside the court likened the string of cities along the northern line of the railway to pearls, connected by the railway like a necklace of pearls. Emperor Haojing thought there was nothing wrong with this comparison.
Zhu Cixiang hoped that the string of pearls on the necklace would eventually develop into a city with a population of one million.
The northern railway was the Ming Empire's most important means of controlling the North, and the railway troops along the route had never been abolished.
But railway troops alone are not enough, the main remaining cities along the way must be developed.
Only in this way can the areas along the line be prosperous, the local resident population increased, and the transportation artery of the Northern Line Railway safer.
After the Northeast is handed over to France, only the section north of Blackwater is relatively dangerous. After that, with the grassland as a buffer zone, it is still very safe.
After the Ming Dynasty's army occupied Central Asia, the hidden dangers in the middle section of the northern railway were eliminated. The entire railway, only the first two thousand kilometers, was slightly potentially dangerous.
But as long as the permanent population increases in the Blackwater coastal areas, the pressure will definitely fall on France.
France has a population of only 50 to 60 million, and it is impossible for Louis XIV to support half of the country's population in the northeast.
Taking this issue into consideration, Zhu Cihong deliberately allocated a population of 30 million to the three large urban agglomerations east of the Ural Mountains.
Each city group can be allocated 10 million people, and each city can attract one million people on average. This is considered a great gift.
The tungsten mines in Jiangxi and the iron ore and coal mines in South Zhili have become the three largest mines in the south.
Local workers are exempted from moving to North or South America and are all sent to live in the industrial city clusters south of the Ural Mountains.
The climate in the new home is certainly much worse than in the south, but every household has received tangible benefits.
According to the housing requirements issued by Emperor Haojing, the standard of housing allocated to mine employees is 60 square meters for two people, 120 square meters for three people, and 120 square meters for four people.
The living standard for each person is thirty square meters, and so on. There is no upper limit. If the area exceeds the area of a single house, you can get another house with the corresponding difference in area.
They are all buildings, and each room is equipped with heating. The heating period is as long as six months, and the heating expenses are fully reimbursed by the mine, so everyone has no worries.
Those families who used to live in bungalows can finally live in a brand-new building, and it is also a one-stop elevator building.
If you have money, you can also buy a single-family or townhouse to live in. The local real estate prices are much lower than those in Jiangxi or Nanzhili, only about a quarter of the latter.
Whether you are a poor person or someone with a bit of money, the local housing prices are satisfactory. The disadvantage is that the climate is far worse than that in the south.
But then again, if the climate was good, would the house price be this high?
What's more, commercial properties are all ready-to-move-in, and there are a variety of decoration styles to choose from.
Once a miner's family gives birth to a child, they can enjoy one year of maternity leave and three years of subsidies, totaling one hundred and fifty silver coins.
Astana, a city with a population of over one million, now has free heating for three months a year thanks to the Karaganda coalfield in its south.
In addition, water, electricity, and gas bills have been halved, and a family of five will spend no more than one silver coin per month on these expenses.
In addition, there are many pastures nearby, making the price of beef and mutton much cheaper than in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Even working-class families can eat it once.
The average resource reserves per unit area in Beidi are no less than those in Zhongzhou. This is the prerequisite for Zhu Cixiang to provide cheap services to Yimin.
Maybe five hundred years is too much, but two or three hundred years of low-cost service shouldn’t be too difficult. At worst, everything will be solar powered...
A certain emperor's plan was to go from Dongcheng, the easternmost starting point of the Northern Line Railway, to Gambolo Castle in the westernmost part.
Ten cities with a population of five million, fifty cities with a population of one million, and two hundred cities with a population of half a million will be developed along the line.
The urban population at three levels can reach 200 million, and the rest is the rural population.
The goal seems high, but it is not difficult to achieve.
Boroburg, Kiev, Moscow, Kharkiv, Kursk, Nancheng, and Il City are all places that have great potential to become first-tier cities in Northland.
More than 60 other cities with a population of 500,000 compete for the 50 second-tier cities. After the crazy migration, I believe it should not be too difficult to achieve.
The number of migrants transported by the Northern Line Railway is equivalent to the population size of a third-tier city, and this does not include all transportation conditions.
In order to focus on developing the areas along the railway, the imperial court has begun the second expansion of the northern railway, from the current four lines to six or even eight lines in the future.
Once the six lines are transported simultaneously in the future, the transportation capacity of the Northern Line Railway will be further enhanced and reach an unprecedented new height.
Diesel locomotives have not completely replaced steam locomotives, especially in the coal-rich Northland, where the cost of using steam locomotives is much lower than that of internal combustion engines.
Whether it is local farmers or people in the city, you can often see two or even four steam locomotives pushing the entire train forward.
The Northeast, Grassland, Zhongzhou, Western Regions, Northwest, and Jifu regions all have steam locomotives because there are coal mines everywhere.
Correspondingly, the Ottoman Empire was sitting on the oil fields. In the oil fields, diesel locomotives had completely replaced steam locomotives.
There is another place where there are many diesel locomotives, and that is French West Africa. Because of the existence of Nigeria's oil fields, His Majesty the European Emperor allowed the local use of more advanced diesel locomotives.
As for more advanced electric locomotives, it's not that the Academy of Sciences cannot build them, but the cost of use is too high. At this stage, they don't have much practical value, and they can't afford to buy them.
At present, regardless of whether it is the northern or southern regions of the Ming Dynasty, any government that receives the order to set off will load the Min on a ship or train as soon as possible with the help of the local garrison.
Whether it was the failure to set off on time, the wrong number of people, or the discovery of deaths after arriving at the place, or false reports and concealment of reports, the court will hold the relevant personnel accountable.
Instead, retired soldiers became popular in the eyes of local government officials, and were rehired one after another to become members of the maintenance order of waiting trains.
Even retired soldiers who have been notified of emigration can make some money along the way. As long as they know that there are a large number of retired soldiers in the car, some rioters will not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the personal information of both parties is similar, the superiors will definitely believe the words of the retired soldier more.
If a person who is caught but denies it is found to have a criminal record, it will be easier to deal with.
You don’t need to arrive at your destination to get the benefits of mining nearby...
