The common people of Tang State like to call themselves Tang people. They love this country and at the same time they also love His Majesty the King Tang Mo who brought them hope.
When they heard that a country had sent a telegram to persuade their beloved King to proclaim himself emperor, they were delighted and immediately became excited.
What workers and farmers have been discussing most recently when they get together is the matter of His Majesty the King proclaiming himself emperor.
Everyone was very excited, and many people felt that if they lived in the Tang Empire, they would be happier than living in the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.
The sale of aircraft technology went very smoothly, bringing huge wealth to the country. For a time, the Tang Kingdom seemed to have endless food, endless steel, and countless slaves.
Not just goblin slaves, many countries use slaves to make up the money and offset part of the purchase price of aircraft.
That’s 100 million gold coins! If all were paid with gold coins, few countries could afford so much money at once.
Even if they can spend so much money, not every monarch is willing to spend so much money.
The cost of capturing slaves is very low. Just arrest some refugees and bankrupt farmers and charge them with random charges. It is much cheaper than mining.
Not to mention gold coins - the monarch pays for it himself, and catching slaves is a worthless business for them. It's clear which one is more cost-effective.
Therefore, in the past few months, countless slaves from various countries have been sent to the Tang Kingdom, including many dwarves and elves.
The largest number were still goblins. A total of 400,000 goblin slaves were sent to Linshui and then distributed to various parts of the Tang Kingdom to be used as consumables.
Even if these goblin slaves are provided with good water and food, the death rate of these goblins is still very shocking.
It had only been about three months, but almost all of the first batch of goblin slaves arriving in Copper City had died.
The goblins did not regard humans as human beings, and the Tang people did not regard goblins as human beings. The hatred between the two peoples had reached an irreconcilable level.
The docks of Beiyuan City are full of goblins who are like animals. They have to engage in the most arduous physical labor and use their lives to rebuild the city they destroyed.
After such a long period of construction, Beiyuan City, which was full of rubble and ruins, has changed its appearance. The streets here have gradually become smoother, and some areas have begun to return to normal.
The people responsible for managing these goblin slaves are the slaves of elves and dwarves. They are directly responsible to the Tang people. Only by constantly squeezing the productivity of the goblins can they ensure their own status.
In a sense, the rich and advanced Tang Kingdom was actually so barbaric that it was outrageous: there were still slaves here, it was still a slave society, and slaves were still used in large numbers, and they did not care about the lives of these slaves...
…
In other words, from a humane perspective, Tang Mo is actually not a good person. He cruelly exploits people other than the Tang people to develop his country.
Batch after batch of gold was sent to the Tang Dynasty, disembarked from Linshui, loaded into trucks, and then escorted by the army to Chang'an.
As the Tang Dynasty continued to develop, it was obviously no longer convenient to store gold on Long Island. So Chang'an became a new gold reserve base, and a new financial center was being established.
It seems that cities like Bunas will never appear again, because Bunas is a special case. At that time, Tangmo did not have so much space for development, so everything could only be crammed into a city like Bunas.
.
Now, Tang Mo has a vast country, so he doesn't have to cram all the functions into one city.
Therefore, even if there is a city like Linshui with excellent geographical environment, Tang Mo has no intention of building it into a second Bunas.
Bunas' financial functions were placed in Chang'an by Tang Mo, while Bunas' entertainment properties were dispersed to many cities.
Similarly, the industrial attributes of Bunas were placed in Tongcheng and Linshui, and even distributed to Longgang and Dongwan.
Linshui, Dongwan and Longgang have become very busy, with countless cargo ships transporting various ores produced on the Eastern Continent to these ports.
Sailing boats have been almost eliminated by various countries, and the white sails that can be seen in the port now are almost all fishing boats sailing out to sea.
Countries are building a large number of modern transport ships, both wooden and steel, but they are generally using steam power.
These ships have improved the transportation efficiency of the Endless Sea route, and have also made qualitative progress in the ship design of various countries.
Generally speaking, major countries with shipbuilding experience began to build their own navies, but they also purchased Tang's battleship drawings and used them as a reference to design their own main battleships.
In the port of Longgang, a transport ship full of people docked at the pier, and the gangway was slowly lowered. A group of young people curiously looked at the huge crane and the cargo piled in the port, and walked down one after another.
Got the ship.
They were so curious about everything here because they had never seen such a prosperous and huge port.
The lines composed of oil pipelines in the distance cut into the mountains, making the entire port look full of unique steampunk charm.
"This place is really so prosperous!" A young man excitedly slapped his companion on the back, reminding him to see the two brand-new Dongwan-class battleships docked at Longgang Pier.
These two battleships were built before the Tang-Qi War broke out. They were not able to catch up with the outbreak of the war, but were launched after the war ended.
No matter from any point of view, the performance indicators of these two warships are not actually advanced. They are expected to be sold soon. The buyer may be the Yangmu Kingdom or the Dorne Empire.
"Look, look at that battleship! It's so big!" The young people who were attracted by the Dongwan-class battleship shouted in surprise, pointing to the canvas-covered turret on the battleship and exclaiming.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey! Hey! Quick! Look! Over there! In the sky! In the sky!" Another young man seemed to have discovered a new continent, and suddenly he rose up again.
increased the volume.
All the young people raised their heads and looked at the sky. There were two B-17 Flying Fortress bombers that had returned from patrol and were lowering their altitude in preparation for landing at the military airport near Longcheng.
"Are we here to learn how to fly? Great..." They looked at the two planes soaring in the sky with envy in their eyes.
That's right, they are the pilots carefully selected by the Cyric Consortium to come to Dragon Island for training. They have to complete three months of study here and then bring their aircraft piloting skills back to Cyric.
This is part of the service and is charged separately. Each time a pilot is sent to Dragon Island for training, a large sum of money is required. Although Cyric has a headache, he has to pay for it.
Soon the vastness and prosperity of the entire Dragon City conquered these young people who came to learn aircraft driving skills.
They sat in the truck that came to pick them up, observing everything on the street: in fact, they also had a secret mission, which was to record everything on Dragon Island and bring it back to Cyric.
Pedestrians riding bicycles can be seen everywhere on the streets, there are too many cars on the road to speed by, there are traffic jams everywhere, and the sound of horns is honking everywhere.
There are rows of shops on the roadside, and in the floor-to-ceiling glass windows are dummies wearing fashionable clothes. Although the business here is not as prosperous as Bunas in the past, it is much better than other cities.
Because the income level of people here is very high, you can see various entertainment venues on the streets. There are cinemas, bars and dance halls, and of course there are casinos and nightclubs, with neon lights flashing during the day.
Just take a look at these streets and you will know that Dragon City is not short of electricity. Those cities that have just emerged do not dare to squander precious electricity like this!
When we arrived outside the city and saw those chimneys as dense as a forest, we knew that the industrialization level of Long Island was quite high.
As long as you take a breath of the choking air, you can probably guess that production is going on here every day, and the production capacity is terrifying.
When the truck full of these young people who came to learn to fly drove to the airport in the middle of the island, these young people finally saw what it means to be wealthy.
There is a whole row of two-person, two-wing aircraft parked beside the runway. At a rough count, there are hundreds of them. You know, the finished product of this thing is sold to other countries, and each one is sold at a sky-high price.
When entering the airport gate, everyone saw a warning sign about mines posted in the open space next to them. They also saw the corpse of a wild rabbit that was blackened by electricity and hung on the barbed wire.
Then, the truck slowly stopped, and these Cyric rookies who had come from afar met their instructors.
During dinner, they saw the dwarves and elves who came to learn how to fly, as well as their classmates from the Lions Empire and the Dorne Empire.
The Tang Kingdom was an innocent child, and after seeing the exquisite food in the cafeteria, these new Cyric pilots actually felt a little bit happy that they were worth their money.
At least, the food here is worthy of the sky-high tuition fees they pay...
Then, the nightmare of these young people who were about to become pilots began. They thought they would be able to touch the plane the next day, but what awaited them was endless laps and various experiments to overcome dizziness.
Although each of them was carefully selected, half of them were eliminated within three days!
The remaining half of the people now finally know why they must eat so well! If they don't eat well and sleep well, they will be tortured to death by the training subjects in three days.
They finally understood why all kinds of vomit could often be seen on the roadside of this base.
