Chapter 599 Daming's Five-Year Plan (Fourth Update, please subscribe)
When the train slowly entered Nanyuan Railway Station, Zhu Xianhai once again looked out of the window at this somewhat fantasy modern industrialized city.The bustling streetscape has been obscured by twilight, but the light of electric lights is like stars, dotting the city.

According to the plan, Emperor Zhu took a special train to Nanyuan - this is the largest heavy industrial city in Ming Dynasty, located in the central hinterland of Ming Dynasty.Before coming to Nanyuan, he deliberately searched for books from the "bookstore" for a long time, then combined with the materials in the books, he drew the sketches of the production line design and the corresponding management regulations by hand from memory, and he was going to hand over these materials to Wang Jiamin from Nanhe Locomotive Company—now Maxima Automobile Company, which is still a subsidiary of the Locomotive Company.

Zhu Xianhai's request is very simple, that is, to ask him to find a way to study the production line within one or two years and apply it to automobile production.

Not only automobiles, locomotive manufacturing and other mechanical equipment manufacturing can adopt similar technology.With the blessing of the production line, Daming's industrial production capacity will definitely take off again.

As for whether the production capacity of Maxima Automobile Company can catch up with Ford's level at that time, Emperor Zhu is still not sure, but as long as the production assembly line can be applied in the automobile industry, then it is just around the corner to achieve Ford's achievements in another world matter.

"The future is promising!"

Staring at the city outside the window, Emperor Zhu had a smile on his face.

The current Daming may still be an enterprising student, but in many respects he leaves other countries far behind!

What is the current Daming lacking?
Not technology!
But production capacity!

With the technology blessing in the mall, Daming's technology capital is sufficient, but the productivity is not enough.

It's not big enough, it's very insufficient.

This situation is a bit like... like that country?

Not like!
When there is no powerful country that rises, it has superior technology but insufficient production capacity, and only Daming is an alternative.

What Emperor Zhu needs now is to push the industrial production capacity of Ming Dynasty to a new height by implementing two five-year plans.

In fact, as early as 1862, out of security needs, Emperor Zhu formulated the first five-year plan-a five-year industrial plan centered on heavy industries such as steel, coal, and machinery.

The industrial rise of Daming started at that time, although at the time of completion, Daming's steel output was only 12 tons, coal output was only 60 tons, and the output of mechanical equipment and ammunition was only enough to meet the initial needs.But it laid a good foundation.

When was the real five-year plan of Ming Dynasty implemented?

1869 years!
In 1868, with the return of the first batch of overseas students and the maturity of the native technicians cultivated in the past 7 years, Zhu Xianhai formulated the "First Five-Year Plan".

"We will spend five years concentrating all our efforts to double our industrial output value."

The main task of the first five-year plan of Ming Dynasty was only one thing - to concentrate on industrialization.Concentrate the main force, center on the fields of metallurgy, machinery manufacturing and shipbuilding, and carry out research-style development.In the past three years, Daming's industrial output value has grown by leaps and bounds through concentrated investment.

Even if Daming's steel output is expected to exceed 180 million tons this year, the railway mileage is expected to exceed 85 kilometers, and the tonnage of ships is expected to exceed [-] tons, so what?

Compared to Britain, Ming Dynasty is still too weak!
"In the past three years, the gap between us and the UK has not narrowed, it has widened..."

Standing in front of Dahua Iron and Steel's scorching iron-making blast furnace, company manager Zhao Xiangzheng said.

"Since 1870, British steel production has increased by 70% in just two years. Steel investment has also driven investment and profits in the upstream coal and iron ore mining industries. At present, the British steel production has exceeded 780 million tons, while We only have 180 million tons. We are growing fast, but the UK is growing even faster!"

Zhao Xiangzheng's words made Zhu Xianhai frowned.

"That's true. After all, they are all established industrial countries with a good foundation and a good technical foundation. Of course they will develop faster than us!"

In fact, in the past few years, the heavy industry of countries all over the world has been developing at a rapid pace. The United States, the North German Federation and France have all formulated large-scale railway constructions, which have raised more and more demands on steel and energy. Thus promoting the rapid development of the metallurgical industry, coal industry and petroleum industry.

Even France, whose economic development has been sluggish in history, because the important industrial and mining areas Alsace and Lorraine were not ceded to Germany, the development of heavy industry has far exceeded the historical level of the same period, and even Russia has also developed rapidly. Enterprises and the construction of railways have also set off a climax of "enterprise abuse".

but……

"This year is 1872, and next year will be the closing year of the "First Five-Year Plan". It doesn't matter!"

Zhu Xianhai smiled confidently.

The reason why I don't care about it is because... next year will be a good time!

Anyone who has studied history knows that from the 1860s to the early 70s, Western capitalists added a large number of means of production in order to build railways and start industrial enterprises on a large scale, which promoted the upsurge of the capitalist economy.At the same time, due to the large-scale expansion of fixed capital, the establishment of industrial production has grown enormously, thus creating the material basis for overproduction.

And what did this lead to?
The economic crisis of 1873!
The crisis of 1873 was the worst crisis in the history of capitalist crises in the nineteenth century.It not only affected a wide range and a large scale, but also lasted for a long time, starting in 19 and ending in 1873, which lasted as long as 1879 years!
His crisis, my opportunity!

In another world, how did Soviet Russia rise?
Didn't it just take advantage of the economic crisis to get a wave from Europe and the United States!
During that economic crisis, machine prices in Europe and the United States even dropped below cost.While Soviet Russia imported a large number of machinery and equipment, it even directly purchased bankrupt factories from European and American countries, hired unemployed workers, moved the factories back to Soviet Russia, and then rebuilt them as they were.

The rebuilt workers are the workers and technicians who demolished the factory in the United States, and they also involved a wave of skilled talents—hundreds of thousands of workers and technicians.

During that wave of economic crisis, when Europe and the United States fell into recession, Soviet Russia had a mouth full of oil.

Now that this wave of economic crisis, which is said to be second only to "1929", is about to happen, if Da Ming doesn't take the opportunity to take advantage of it, will he be able to live up to his own advantage of foresight?

Thinking of this, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help looking forward to next year...
