Chapter 608： Lanfang (1/2)
Behind the rapid economic development, there are also many hidden dangers. The most typical one is that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.
At present, there is no pair of indexes to represent, Franz just looks at the big data of statistics. It ’s all watched by high-level government officials.
In 1875, the gross domestic product was about 5.46 billion Aegis, which is worthy of being number one in the world. (Statistics on indigenous Africa and states)
Looking at big data alone, the GDP of the UK is twice that of the UK, and the data is really beautiful. If you compare the following data, you can't read it.
The population of Austria in Europe is about 78.612 million, and the population of Africa's indigenous areas is about 62.152 million, which is a total of 84.466 million. The British population is only in their early 30s.
The population is 2.8 times, the economic aggregate has just broken 2 times, and the per capita has been overtaken by the British.
Due to incomplete information, the Vienna government can only roughly estimate that Austria's per capita income is only about seven levels more than the British.
The only good news is that it surpasses the French. Since the Italian region has been hindered, France's per capita income has gone behind Austria.
Of course, France ’s economic aggregate still goes up. Just like Austria, it has more people and more power, and its GDP exceeds that of Britain.
Just looking at the total amount doesn't make any sense. Except for Austria's own survey, other countries are estimated by economists, and the error is normal.
However, this 20% gap is too large. At present, there are many opinions in the Austrian domestic economic community. Everyone agrees that the world's five largest economies: Austria, Britain, France, the Far East Empire, and India.
But there is an endless argument over the rankings, and no one can convince anyone.
The first type: Austria, France, British Far East Empire, India;
The second: Far East Empire India = Austria, France, Britain;
The third type: Far East Empire India Austria France Britain;
...
Without detailed survey data, everyone has their own theoretical basis, and Franz cannot determine who is correct. This does not prevent the Vienna Government from putting itself first.
Even if it isn't the number one in the world, it will become the number one in the world soon. Now is the period of the industrial revolution, which is in a period of rapid economic growth, and the industrial countries have too much advantage over the agricultural countries.
In addition to its homeland, Austria's colonial GDP was also listed. Franz was surprised that the value of the colonial real estate in the South Ocean was almost catching up with Austrian Africa. (Only deducting localized areas)
It must be known that the Vienna government attaches much more importance to Austrian Africa than the Nanyang region, and the weight of the two is also very different.
Now the Southern Ocean of Olympiad is mainly the islands of Kalimantan and New Guinea, and some small islands around it. These areas are not the richest areas in the South Ocean, and they can actually create such a high output value.
precise data:
450 million Aegis of Austrian Africa;
Austrian Nanyang 360 million Aegis;
250 million Aegis of Central American Austria;
11 million Aegis in South America;
Alaska 5.400 Aegis;
(The Austrian Peninsula is not fully occupied, it is in a period of chaos, not counted)
From the data point of view, the gap between the two is still 20%, and it seems that the gap is still far away, but compared with the statistics of five years ago, the gap between the two has narrowed by 8 percentage points.
It seemed to be aware of Franz's doubts, and Colonial Minister Stephen explained: ”Your Majesty, the development of the Austrian Southern Ocean has been very fast in recent years. Especially in Lanfang Autonomous Province, agricultural development has been very rapid.
The world's largest rubber plantation has been established, and a pepper plantation has been developed. Local residents have opened up about 15 million hectares of farmland to grow rice, corn, pumpkin and other crops.
In addition, several new gold mines have been discovered on the island, and coal mines have been discovered in the southwest, and mining has been carried out. ”
This answer made Franz even more puzzled. In his memory, except for a few areas, Kalimantan had fertile land, and most of the land was not stingy.
Of course, it is still possible to grow grain, but in an age without chemical fertilizers, this yield will be very touching.
He knows that the Chinese like farming, but they will also consider paying back and open up so much farmland. Is there so much fertile soil in Kalimantan?
Franz asked: ”How many people are there in Lanfang Autonomous Province, and what is the output of so much farmland?”
