The kingdom's lending method to the Ongi side mainly uses the form of trade deficit to flow out, and the largest expenditure comes from the purchase of struvite, which is phosphate rock.
Over the past few years, Wengji has learned better and has a certain rough processing capability for natural phosphate rock. The original intention is to save freight, but it actually has the potential to expand the deficit.
But now there is a steam sea below the floating islands, and the living space of seabirds has been compressed to the extreme. They can only maintain a small population size on some seabed floating islands. It can be said that the regeneration amount of phosphate rock is close to zero, and the procurement scale is Be careful when expanding to avoid cutting off this source.
The Ongji royal family has certain financial talents and has done a good job in maintaining the value of banknotes. Of course, some people are also responsible for the trade deficit, otherwise Ongji's gold reserves will not last long.
In addition, the long-term deficit lending model is not conducive to achieving Wang Qi's layout purpose.
What to do now.
One is to coordinate the east and west sides and enhance Wengji’s trade links with the eastern region.
The Wengji and Fenggu plates both belong to the south bank of the original Luna River, separated by a swamp area and a low mountain range with an average absolute height of less than 300 meters. Before the disaster, they had little contact with the eastern lords because they had no advantage in river transportation compared to Fatel.
There are a few routes now, but they are not enough. Wang Qi needs the Eastern District to take advantage of its industrial advantages and take out the Phoenix coins that Weng Ji has hoarded as a reserve currency.
Overseas industrial layout is a very complicated issue. It is impossible for one person to arrange it all in the palace. It can only be regarded as a several-year plan and handed over to General Manager Laiwen and various departments to slowly advance it.
After this part is arranged, Wengji’s reserve currency needs to be increased.
Wengjihe's trade mainly consists of meat products, handicrafts and artificial textiles, including dried meat and cured meat, in addition to phosphate rock.
The most valuable thing here is a textile material called fog yarn.
Matte yarn has a similar feel to silk, but is less elastic and less sweat-absorbent.
Unfortunately, the raw material of fog yarn is a kind of spider silk that gives the city of white yarn its name. A spider web only has two to three grams, and there is no way to raise this kind of spider at high density, so the yield is very low.
The kingdom is willing to import more, but it has never been able to increase production. Even due to climate change, the number of spiders is declining.
Using the ability of the core body to increase the size of the spider is an option, but Wang Qi is still tossing peanuts, and at the same time he does not want to rely on the sacred tree to solve everything.
To increase bilateral trade volume, you can consider supporting a canning assembly line.
Although the taste of canned meat is far from that of on-site stewing, not everyone is a gourmet like Wang Qi who can cook by himself, and the local beef is not suitable for stewing. As long as it is made The finished product is not too bad and the market prospect is guaranteed.
In addition, after the tinplate cans are packaged and sterilized, in theory, as long as the outer packaging is not damaged or bulged, it will not break your stomach after ten or eight years of storage. Of course, it is more difficult to guarantee the taste. If you are brave, take two or three. It’s not impossible to stock up on emergency supplies for ten years, and it’s a type of food that’s very suitable for stockpiling.
This thing has not been discovered by the public before, probably because the second generation of the disaster has not seen it much. After all, once the supply chain is interrupted, one can will be eaten less, and the first generation of the disaster will probably be taken advantage of.
The rust-resistant tinplate itself is a thin steel plate tinned. Now the electroplating capability is mature and there is no technical bottleneck.
You can consider promoting it, or even set up a factory at home to make canned Xiaoqiang lunch meat.
When the draft came to this point, Wang Qi grinned. He really didn't like luncheon meat. He always felt that the taste of this thing was not as good as that of ham sausage with high meat content. He didn't know if it would become a dark dish when made with beef jerky.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
After thinking about it, I came up with a mine that had been left undeveloped. It was the copper ore layer discovered near the coastline during the original inspection of Salt Island. There was also a lithium mine nearby.
It's too far away from home, and it's not close to Yandao. It's too difficult to arrange defense. There are even no permanent production personnel in Yandao now.
Let Wengji go mining, and he won't feel bad if he runs into a demon and dies.
From the perspective of self-demand, we do need to reserve some lithium. Even if we do not develop lithium batteries, we can still get some lithium deuterium to accumulate technology for the nuclear industry. In addition, the newly opened copper mine in Wengji will also help combat the overseas copper price that is gradually withdrawing from the currency stage.
I am greedy for more than I can digest, so I will only arrange canned goods and minerals for the time being.
Calculated based on the Ganlin project and here, the speed of currency outflow is still not fast, and the order of magnitude has not changed.
But there are no more feasible paths.
For example, tourism, when the world is basically peaceful, can be considered a good way to export currency. But in the penal colony in front of us, one or two people can still deal with incidents abroad. Once the frequency increases, the army will be used, which will also reduce their own safety level.
There are some home remedies that can be come up with, such as slightly relaxing the restrictions on the export quantity of the Tornado II model.
As an aircraft with a speed of about 400 kilometers, the Tornado 2 is not particularly compact, but it is better than opening a new production line. The smaller aircraft is more suitable for the buyer to use it for prospecting operations on the cliffs on the side of the floating island.
If forces other than Fatel and Wengji can find gold mines of a certain scale, regardless of their own reserve needs, they will naturally consider exchanging some Phoenix coins to facilitate trade.
We can only put it aside temporarily and wait for the sectors covered by the first phase of the Ganlin Plan in the south to develop for a few years and see the industrial situation before making any plans.
This is the case overseas. The domestic economic department has looked at it and found that what can be done is limited. The main reason is that the population restrictions are too serious, so we can only arrange follow-up major projects.
So far, the first phase of the large-scale engineering projects open to the lower-level labor force is the green artificial lake, and the second phase is the construction of two round-island railways in the Phoenix Plate and Fenggu Plate. Most of the efforts here are from the Railway Bureau, and the outsourcing part is relatively small. During this period, a number of construction companies were also cultivated.
The third phase is the central reservoir project. Now the highway around the reservoir and several water source lines connecting the reservoir to surrounding cities have been completed. Only municipal engineering and post-construction house decoration are left.
Calculating the expected size of Little Bear City is one million people, but the houses are all designed and entered by Wang Qi. In terms of functionality and beauty, not to mention how great they are, at least they are passable. Most residential houses will not consider the later additions except for the purchase of durable goods. There is no need to buy decorations or cabinets. The most you can do is strengthen the panels near the fire point in the kitchen for fire safety.
Calculated in this way, after the basic strengthening, road network, and power grid projects of Little Bear City are completed, it can support a construction team of several thousand people at most.
Of course, when trees are moved to death, people are moved to life. People who have been engaged in the construction industry for many years can accumulate some savings to start a small business. Little Bear City also needs a lot of small vendors and service-oriented companies to fill it. No matter how bad it is, in the kingdom If you have lived long enough, you should know how the kingdom operates and know how to inquire about recruitment information from various companies.
However, the kingdom is in the stage of population absorption. Tens of thousands of unskilled and illiterate people need to be resettled every year. Just building houses for yourself will not be enough to work for a person who is illiterate. The big projects cannot be stopped for the time being.
Wang Qi looked around at the map that was proofread this year and made a quick judgment.
Water is the source of life, and it is also the blood of industry. The water source conditions of the three east-west cities of West Road, Road City, and Dongshan Road are not very good. Among them, only Road City, because it is in the transportation center, obtained the water supply before Blackwater was naturalized. A few years of first-mover advantage.
This advantage no longer exists now, and the three cities have experienced a net outflow of population for many years.
The intersection of Dongshan Road and West Road is relatively less important. With only tens of thousands of people, casual arrangements can take care of it.
