After leaving the school, Lin Xin didn't immediately return, but instead went to the countryside of Lesan City to take a look. Although Lin Xin's Xiaohe Village could also see the living standards of the people of this era, Lin Xin firmly believed that seeing was believing. The situation in every place was different, so he couldn't use one place to represent a province, or even the whole country. After all, the bald eagle was very rich, but there were still many slums.
However, what happened next was much easier. Since he had never been here before, the little information he knew in the modern era could not be applied to this era. However, things were much easier after finding a local guide to lead the way.
To sum it up, there were only two words: poor and backward. However, Lin Xin wasn't surprised. After all, this was a normal situation for the people of this era. What surprised Lin Xin the most was the number of bandits in this place.
Lin Xin didn't even know how to feed so many bandits. To think that there were such a large number of bandits in the quiet vicinity of Lesan City, it seemed that Lesan City definitely had supporters of bandits. Otherwise, the villages around Lesan City wouldn't be able to feed such a large number of bandits even if they robbed them every day.
After more than a month of investigation, the number of bandits around Leshan City had actually reached 20000. It should be known that the total population of Leshan City, including the rural population, was only 2 million. Although it was quite a lot, the pressure of raising 20000 bandits was not ordinary. After all, the farmers could barely support themselves after paying taxes, let alone raising bandits. One could imagine how difficult the lives of the people here were.
After understanding the situation, Lin Xin felt that he was somewhat optimistic about the situation in Leshan, but he couldn't change the situation now. Leshan was too far away from Panzhi, and the only thing he could do now was to record the situation and change it when he came here.
However, Lin Xin quickly collected his emotions. After all, if he was depressed after seeing a place, he would die of depression. The most important thing was to understand the situation clearly, so that he could do his work here in the future.
After doing all this, Lin Xin went back. He couldn't stay here for too long, as he still hadn't gone to the next city. He had already stayed here for more than a month, and his original plan was to stay here for five days before leaving, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.
In the past month, the steel plant had finally started to operate, but the monthly production was too low. It only produced 5000 tons of steel and 10000 tons of iron, which was only 6% of the Wei Nation's production. How did the bald eagle rise so quickly? Other than the geographical environment, the scale of the industry was huge. Steel could be used to measure the industrial strength of a country, at least in this era.
Not to mention the White-Headed Eagle, even the Wei Nation could easily crush him in terms of production, but fortunately, the number of workers had already reached 300,000, of which 250,000 were provided by the system. They were also the most outstanding workers, and their production efficiency was even higher than the White-Headed Eagle's, and their production skills were also much better than Hans '. However, the number was still too small, and the 250,000 that Lin Xin could reach in just nine months was only the amount that the system rewarded him with when he advanced to level 2. If they had followed the system's regulations, Lin Xin wouldn't even have 200,000 people.
Fortunately, these system personnel had extremely high skills, and their teaching skills were excellent. Each technician brought three students, and it was guaranteed that they would be able to master the basic skills within a year. Moreover, Lin Xin was using an assembly line, so as long as they knew the basic skills, the factory would be able to operate.
However, it would still take several years to reach the basic level of the major powers. This process not only required a large amount of manpower, but also a large amount of financial resources. However, as long as the industrial scale was up, with the excellent products produced by these factories, financial resources weren't what Lin Xin was worried about. What he was worried about was that those people at home and abroad would discover him before they could develop.
Lin Xin only needed two years, and in these two years, Lin Xin would be able to deal with all kinds of interference from outside forces, at least enough to defend himself.
Now, a few spies had already established themselves in a few countries. Two of them had even established a few arsenals in Silovac with the purpose of doing arms business. Moreover, with their strength, they had already mixed into the middle and upper classes of the country. Speaking of Silovac, one had to mention its performance during World War II. The country was considered a powerful country in Europe during the early stages of World War II. The scale and quality of the country's industry were ranked among the top. Just from the weapons produced by the country that could arm the country's 1 million troops, and the production of the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks for the mustached man before the war, it could be seen that the country's industry was very strong. However, due to the appeasement policy of John Bull and Gallic Chicken towards Hans Cat, the country actually surrendered without much fighting. It was really shocking.
If the Wei Nation had the scale and quality of that country's industry, they would not have been able to wait for 32 years.
During the Second World War, Slovakia produced more than 20 million tons of steel, while Hans Cat produced only 20 million tons, which was even lower than him. In comparison, Lin Xin's steel factory's output was not even a fraction of the others.
However, it was now 1920, and there was still time for Lin Xin to catch up. After all, the steel factory had just started operating, and it should be known that this steel base could produce more than 20 million tons of steel per year. Thus, Lin Xin wasn't in a hurry, and would take it slow. He would first set up all the shelves, and then it would only be a matter of production. However, this wasn't a problem for Lin Xin, because Lin Xin demanded that a product must be mass-produced while maintaining its quality. They also had to ensure that the cost was not too high. It could be said that this requirement was extremely demanding. Even the few major powers found it difficult to achieve this goal. However, under the research of the system professionals, the difficulties were solved one by one. Therefore, it was estimated that the annual output of the steel mill would reach more than one million tons of steel in a year.
After the incident at Le Shan, Lin Xin wasn't as careless as before in this investigation trip. Every time he went to a place, Lin Xin would seriously investigate the local customs and living conditions, but the situation was better than he had expected. After all, the country was relatively stable now, and the warlords only fought in a small part of the country. Therefore, although most of the people were still very poor, they could still live, so Lin Xin's heart was no longer as depressed. It must be known that the more chaotic this country became, the more things Lin Xin would have to do and the more resources he would have to spend.
During this period, many famous warlords had their own businesses in the concessions. This was the sorrow of the nation and the helplessness of the country. However, so what? The country was not strong and did not even have the basic right to speak. The country of that period was only similar to the status of the later generation's A'san in the world. Oh, no, it could not even compare to the A'san. At least, they still had some right to speak. However, our country of this period did not even have any.
At this time, in a small villa in Gaul Chicken, Lin Xin was celebrating the new year with Wang Sheng and Wang Ye and their families. The scene was very lively, and even Lin Jin, who was an iron man, smiled. Although the house was very lively, there were 200 soldiers hiding in the dark outside the house, like poisonous snakes, ready to kill anyone at any time.
"This year is my first year in this world, and also my first Chinese New Year, and also my happiest year. Although we encountered many difficulties, we solved them together. I believe that in the coming year, we will all move forward courageously and create even more brilliant results. Here, let me toast to you. Without your help, it would have been very difficult for me to achieve this initial result," Lin Xin raised his wine cup and said to the people who were eating hotpot and chatting with each other.
" Boss, don't say that. Without you, we wouldn't be here. It's our honor to work for you. It's the proudest thing in our lives. We're fighting for you. This is our duty and a medal that we're proud of. How can you say thank you to us?" Lin Jin said.
"That's right, boss. Your goal is the goal we've been striving for our entire lives," Wang Ye and Wang Sheng said.
" Yeah," everyone said.
That was indeed the case. The system was there to help its sole master become stronger. Naturally, the system members had the same goal. To be exact, this was the value of their existence.
However, Lin Xin didn't think that way, because he truly regarded them as his own family. During this period of time, the system personnel had developed another kind of affection for Lin Xin besides loyalty, and that was kinship. After all, the system personnel were real people, just people in the system world, so they naturally had feelings.
