Penglai City is divided into East and West Penglai City. The distance between the two cities is only a few hundred kilometers, making it the narrowest place in the Golden Continent.
The Ming Empire initially started colonizing from the western Golden Continent. Later, in order to consolidate its rule and colonization on the east coast of the Golden Continent, it also focused on the development of Penglai City.
Colonial settlements were built in the east and west, and gradually developed into the current East and West Penglai cities. The scale of East and West Penglai cities is getting larger and larger, and railways and roads are built to connect the two places, making the transportation extremely convenient. , and a Huanghuangzhou Canal was also built here in Huangjinzhou where the Panama Canal would later be located.
This will facilitate the exchanges and communication between the east and west coasts of Huangjin Island, and also facilitate the exchange of ships, greatly saving sailing distance and time.
The Huanghuangzhou Canal is also listed on the Tianjin Stock Exchange like the Egyptian Canal, and it has become a stock that everyone likes to invest in.
Because the entire Huanghuangzhou Canal belongs to the Ming Empire, it is more stable and safe than the Egyptian Canal. Its market value has now reached 200 million taels of silver, making it a leading player in the Tianjin Securities Exchange.
Among the east and west Penglai cities, Dong Penglai city is the busiest and largest.
It is located in Penglai Bay (later known as the Gulf of Mexico), which is the central area of ??the Golden Continent. It is also the eastern transfer point for trade with Europe, and its commerce is extremely developed.
At this moment, Liu Jin was standing on a restaurant in Penglai City, overlooking the entire Penglai City and Penglai Bay.
As a new city, Penglai City has a history of only a few decades. The planning of the new city is very orderly, dotted and square.
There are many high-rise buildings, especially in the commercial district of Penglai City. The high-rise buildings compete with each other and are brightly lit at night. Behind each building are people from the Ming Empire, the Ming vassal states, vassal states, and colonies. and even large commercial banks in various countries around the world.
Although with the westward expansion of the Ming Empire and its territorial expansion into Eastern Europe, trade with Europe has now mainly shifted to safer land routes.
The sea route through Golden Continent has gradually declined, and there are not so many ships traveling between Europe and Golden Continent.
However, this is still one of the very important foreign trade points. A large number of goods are still sold to Europe through here every year. At the same time, goods from Europe, mainly slaves, are also continuously imported to the Golden Continent to provide for the mining and development of the Golden Continent. Plantations brought a constant supply of labor.
Although the local industry in Huanghuangzhou is far from comparable to that of the Ming Empire, Huanghuangzhou is an important grain-producing area. The Great Plains in the central part of Northern Huanghuangzhou is one of the few fertile plains in the world, and is the most suitable area for the development of agriculture. .
Although the degree of development here is still very low, the food produced has already far exceeded the local demand in Golden Continent. This food is sold in large quantities to Europe and African vassal states and colonies.
Food export is a very important economy here!
In addition, Huangjinzhou is also a huge meat warehouse. There is a vast fertile grassland in South Huangjinzhou, which is one of the best grasslands in the world.
The Ming Empire moved a large number of nomadic people here to the South Golden Continent for grazing. At the same time, it also vigorously developed the large farm economy and encouraged Han immigrants to develop designated animal husbandry.
At the same time, here in Northern Huanghuangzhou, there are also large areas of land that have not been cultivated and are used as pastures. There are also a large number of herdsmen grazing here.
These factors have also promoted the rapid development of animal husbandry in Huangjinzhou. The unique natural environment, coupled with the vast land and sparse population, have made the animal husbandry here very famous in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The beef and mutton produced in Golden Continent are not only of high quality, but also extremely cheap. They are sold in large quantities to colonies and vassal states in Africa.
So much so that the local animal husbandry in many vassal states and colonies cannot develop at all, because even the cattle and sheep shipped from the Golden Continent are cheaper than the local cattle and sheep, and you simply can't compete.
Although agriculture and animal husbandry are developed, the real biggest industry here in Huangjinzhou is mining!
From the first batch of gold diggers arriving in Huanghuangzhou to now, the gold fever in Huanghuangzhou has never faded and is still very hot.
??Here in Huangjinzhou, everyone seems to have a heart for gold mining. Everyone wants to be an explorer, explore the unknown world, and find exciting treasures and wealth.
Starting from the earliest gold and silver, it has developed to the present.The level of civilization development in America and Africa is low. Most areas are still in the primitive tribal stage and have not yet developed into feudal society.
When facing colonists from Europe, they often had no resistance and were easily colonized by European colonies at a very small cost.
This is the root of the tragedy in Africa and America in history.
Now, history has undergone tremendous changes. The Ming Dynasty people are vigorously promoting in Huangjinzhou that these Indians are descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and they have a common ancestor with the Ming Dynasty people.
It¡¯s just that their ancestors made mistakes, so they were exiled to the Golden Continent by God. As long as they are willing to devoutly submit to and learn everything from the Ming Dynasty, they can also return to become the noble Ming Dynasty people.
Such propaganda ideas gradually became popular in Huangjinzhou and were accepted by the local indigenous people. Learning from the advanced civilization of the Ming Dynasty, this also promoted the development of local civilization and society in Huangjinzhou.
In many large cities in the Kingdom of Azte and the Inca Empire, there is almost always a strong Ming style, and sometimes you even think that you are in a Ming city.
Because whether it is the style of the surrounding buildings, people's clothing, diet, etc., almost all of them have been changed to the Ming Dynasty. Even electric lights, which Europeans have not yet used, have begun to become popular in some big cities.
And the people of Ming Dynasty like to watch football, they also like it. There are a large number of football fields, and the movies of Ming Dynasty people are also very popular here.
It can be said that almost every aspect has been fully enlightened, and the entire civilization has rapidly transformed from a primitive and backward barbaric civilization into the most advanced civilization on the planet in this era.
In the Kingdom of Azte and the Inca Empire, you can see cement roads extending in all directions, and you can also see a large number of cars running at high speed.
You can see people of status and status in these two countries drinking tea, reciting poems, talking about heaven and earth, ancient and modern events, and discussing global current affairs and politics.
Their living standards have far exceeded the living standards of Europeans, Middle Easterners, Ottomans, and Persians during this period.
Everything is on par with the Ming Dynasty and learning from the Ming Dynasty. In addition, it is a vassal state of the Ming Empire, relying on rich mineral resources, etc., this development speed is very fast.
Liu Jin originally wanted to look for some ancient ruins, ancient civilizations, etc. in these two kingdoms, and carefully study the true origins of these descendants of the Yin Shang in Golden Continent.
But when I arrived in the cities of these two countries, I felt it was boring and disappointed, because except for a few pyramids, everything else was almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty.
