Chapter 443 National: Wancheng Kingdom
Three months later.

Under the eyes of everyone, a brand new country was established.

Dingdu Capital City (a newly established city, located in the center of the Hundred Cities Alliance, is also the future political center).

Country name: Wancheng Country.

The name of the country was chosen by voting and received the highest number of votes.It was also Zhou Ming who came up with it. In fact, he didn't know what a good name to choose, but everyone asked him to name it, so he casually said the word "Wancheng".

"Cheng" means car, and Wancheng means [-] cars. In the history of the previous city-states, in the era of underdeveloped productivity, there were tens of thousands of cars. It was definitely a rich and powerful city.
Of course, the current Wancheng country owns all kinds of vehicles, not to mention [-], but even [-] or millions of vehicles. It can be called a "Wancheng" rich country.

However, compared with the Wancheng Kingdom, other city-states still lag far behind in productivity development. When you hear the name "Wancheng Kingdom", you must have beautiful associations and deep yearning in your mind.

Just like the paradise in Zhou Ming's world, people will feel good when they hear that name.

Wancheng Kingdom was established on November 11st, and the year name was created for one year. As long as Wancheng Kingdom does not perish, this year name will continue to be used.

The first batch of city-states to join the Wancheng Kingdom was 55, accounting for just half of the total number of city-states, which fully met Zhou Ming's requirements for the number of joiners.

Adding up these 55 city-states, the values ​​of various data are still very impressive.

Such as the total land area: 1350 million square kilometers.

Total population: 2.3 million.

Total GDP: 387 billion Lingcoins.

These data account for more than 50% of the Hundred Cities Alliance, especially the total GDP, which accounts for 61% of the entire Hundred Cities Alliance.

In the next three years, other indicators are not counted, and only GDP is used. Zhou Ming, who was elected as the first "head" of Wancheng Kingdom, intends to make the total GDP of Wancheng Kingdom's joining regions account for More than 75% of the total GDP of the Hundred Cities Alliance.

In other words, within three years, within the scope of the Hundred Cities Alliance, he intends to increase the proportion of the GDP of the city-states in the franchise area of ​​Wancheng Kingdom by 5% per year.

This proves the superiority of the national system.

When he announced this "big statement" in the newspaper, everyone thought he was crazy.

"Improved by 15% in three years, what are you kidding? Impossible!"

"The national system is good, but it's impossible to be so exaggerated. Cancel road tax, unify the army, and increase economic vitality by 5 percentage points. 15%? Who believes it?"

"I'm not afraid that the wind will flash its tongue. You Wancheng Kingdom is developing, and we independent city-states are not developing? Will you watch you run so fast?"

"The so-called country, the country is in front of the home, and it has such a miraculous effect when it concentrates some power? I don't believe it."

"It is possible to increase the proportion by 10%, 15%, the head of state is too much..."

"Too confident, hey, 15% in three years, this target is too high, and there is still a possibility in five years."

Not to mention that some opponents are ridiculing behind their backs, even the people on their own side seldom have sufficient confidence.

But three years later, the number of city-states that joined the Wancheng Kingdom reached 85. That is to exclude the 30 city-states that joined later, and count their latest economic data into the camp of city-states that did not join. The proportion of GDP in the entire Hundred Cities Alliance has risen from 61% to 77%!

A full increase of 16 percentage points.

16% in three years!

15% more than scheduled.

Everyone's eyes were shocked and they couldn't believe it!
How did you do it?
This is how it is done?
Zhou Ming smiled slightly.

Three tricks.

He put three big moves.

The first move is to set up a national infrastructure construction money bank (equivalent to a bank), inject 20 billion spiritual coins into it, and use sufficient funds to invest in the infrastructure construction of the participating city-states in the country.

For example, water conservancy facilities, highways, railroads, airports, industrial areas, mining area development, etc., as long as there is a large amount of money, the national infrastructure construction bank can provide the other party with urgently needed funds, or provide low-interest loans, or exchange funds for stock options .

After the project is completed and begins to generate benefits, the national infrastructure construction bank can not only speed up the efficiency of infrastructure construction, but also earn spiritual coins from it.

Both the central government and the lower-level city-states can benefit and achieve a win-win situation.

In the past three years, since the establishment of the infrastructure construction money bank, a total of 158 payments totaling 18 billion Lingcoins have been approved.

The effect is very remarkable. Using these funds, Wancheng has added 1.8 kilometers of roads and 1.2 kilometers of metal tracks in China, built 7 industrial areas, 5 reservoirs, 19 airports, and 22 mines... unfinished There are more items.

The second big move is to expand exports.

Foreign trade export in the direction of Dongyuanzhou.

Within three years, the total annual export trade volume of Wancheng Kingdom's franchise area to Dongyuanzhou has increased from 33 billion Lingcoins three years ago to 230 billion Lingcoins.

In three years, it has doubled 7 times.

It has grown so many times, how did Zhou Ming do it?
This has something to do with Jiang Ruonan's Happy Palace.

Today's Xiaoyao Palace has become the number one sect in Dongyuanzhou. Four of the original nine sects have been eliminated by her, and the remaining five are tightly huddled together. It will take a lot of effort to destroy them. .

The main reason is that the number of monks in the hands of Xiaoyao Palace is too small. In the past few years, Zhou Ming has successively sent 70 Lingyuan battleships to Xiaoyao Palace, but only half of the Lingyuan battleships are fully equipped, and the remaining half, unexpectedly Can't find enough monks to control it—even if one can be found, it's not enough to rest assured, it must be controlled by disciples under the Xiaoyao Palace.

So Jiang Ruonan didn't dare to take too much action. The remaining five sects had to wait a few years before they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

But for mortal cities, she told her subordinates: as many mortal cities as can be captured, as many mortal cities as possible.

Therefore, in the past few years, the number of mortal cities controlled by Xiaoyao Palace has exceeded 1000.

In the process of conquest, billions of people, trillions of wealth, and everything on hundreds of millions of square kilometers fell into Jiang Ruonan's pocket.

And this woman, who loves to enjoy herself, is conscripting tens of millions of people to build her a magnificent palace; she is collecting rare treasures into her personal treasury; she is racking her brains to come up with various ideas... to meet her material and spiritual needs.

These projects all cost money, a lot of money - but she has plenty of money.

So she became Zhou Ming's biggest client.

Not only can each export-oriented Lingyuan battleship earn nearly 10 billion Lingcoins from her, but the tile order for her palace project alone is 1 million yuan, and each piece is priced at 20 Lingcoins.

Can this kind of consumption that satisfies personal desires last for a long time?
It is definitely not possible, but in the entire Eastern Yuanzhou, there are 5000 mortal cities, the population is nearly [-] billion, and the wealth is countless. It can be squandered by Jiang Ruonan himself.

He doesn't have to worry about not being able to continue this business.

The third big move is to fully implement the industrial revolution based on "psychic machines".

The psychic machine represents "efficiency", is speed, and is the most advanced productivity.

In the past, the large-scale promotion of psychic machines was limited by the number of monks, but now the population base of the monks in Wancheng Kingdom has already exceeded 10. There is no problem in setting off a "psychic revolution", but the extremely expensive soul stone , making such a revolution extremely costly.

Fortunately, after the soul stone mine with a huge reserve in Dongyuanzhou was continuously mined and transported to Wancheng Kingdom, the last obstacle restricting the "spiritual energy revolution" disappeared. During these three years, all the 10 monks in Wancheng Kingdom had jobs that were most suitable for them.

The number of psychic locomotives has increased to three digits, the number of propeller cargo planes has increased by five times, and a large number of psychic factories can achieve long-term operation.

The efficiency of production and transportation has been greatly improved. How can the economic vitality not be greatly improved?

With the release of these three big moves, the proportion of GDP in three years will increase by 16 percentage points, which is completely reasonable.

This is also the reason why in the past three years, Wancheng Kingdom has seen an extremely rapid development momentum, and another 30 city-states have joined the national system.

After all, in the face of benefits, it is very important to seize the opportunity. If you end up late and have all the meat robbed, if you join in, there will not be much benefit left, and you may even invite ridicule.

However, seeing that after joining the national system, the benefits obtained are obviously more than the losses. If you don't join, your interests will be damaged, and your competitiveness will become weaker and weaker.

Don't say anything good at that time, without the support of the state, you will continue to weaken and gradually lose everything.

So after seeing this trend, in the past three years, the city-states that were able to join the national system finally applied to join—even though they were very helpless.

However, there were still 30 city-states that persisted to the end and successfully became the "stubborn forces" in Zhou Ming's eyes.

And in the next time, these 30 city-states will experience what is the power of a country.
