Nine Plains was originally just a very run-down small county. If it was in the future, it might not even be comparable to a small town. This was not a joke, it was really run-down.
In terms of taxes, they could not collect much money in a year, so not many people paid attention to this place. After all, the economic center of this era had long been in the southeast coast, where the wealth flowed.
However, since it was occupied by the Independent Army, the place changed almost every day. The old houses were basically demolished and rebuilt.
Of course, based on the principle of fairness, they still gave these residents a large amount of compensation for demolition. The people who received compensation were happy and took the initiative to move out of their houses.
Since they had decided to build an industrial zone, they naturally couldn't let these dilapidated houses affect their beauty. Therefore, Yang Xin waved his hand and tore down all of them, giving birth to many nouveau riche.
A month later, Nine Plains had become a large construction site. There were tens of thousands of people building all kinds of houses here, including commercial houses, bungalows, dormitories, factories, train stations, roads, and so on.
Nine Plains, which had been silent for thousands of years, became extremely lively at this moment. Some people with foresight began to set up mobile stalls outside the construction site to sell all kinds of snacks.
Relying on the consumption of these workers, they earned a lot of money. For a time, the entire Jiuyuan was filled with huge business opportunities. Countless traveling merchants, big businessmen, and capitalists came enthusiastically.
It was a pity that Yang Xin had locked down the land in Jiuyuan, forbidding any transactions. All the factories that needed to be built needed approval, and only after approval could the factories be built.
In his plan, Jiuyuan was a heavy industrial center. There was no need for some light factories to fall behind here. However, heavy industry was not something that capitalists could play with at the moment.
The investment was easily in the millions, and the return rate would definitely not be profitable without ten to twenty years.
It was because of this that he decided to build it himself. He did not need much of the remaining light industry, and most of it was under his control.
Year 37, May 25th. On this day, Yang Xin finished all his work and decided to go to Jiuyuan. He wanted to see what Jiuyuan looked like after more than a month of construction.
After all, the development of Nine Plains was very important to the development of the entire Huaxia Country. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect it at all and kept it in his heart at all times.
It was about 200 kilometers from Duolun to Jiuyuan. Construction had begun on this section of the road. Of course, it was not completely connected, but many sections had been paved with cement. Cars were speeding on it.
However, some of the roads were still dirt roads, so the speed was much slower. Along the way, Yang Xin saw many merchants driving carriages filled with goods. It seemed that they were preparing to transport them to Jiuyuan.
Yang Xin had only one comment about these traveling merchants. Wherever there were business opportunities, they would be there. Fortunately, Yang Xin knew that it was not easy for these traveling merchants to earn money. The tax collection was also very low. The purpose was to promote economic development. It was too slow to rely on him to regulate alone.
Some small details required these traveling merchants to mediate on their own. It had to be said that Yang Xin's low taxes and no exploitation allowed the entire Chahar's economy to develop rapidly.
Especially those workers, with high wages, the first thing they did was to buy houses and then add items, making the traveling merchants earn a lot of money in an instant.
"When the highway is repaired, the intercity bus will also be built. This will promote the communication between the cities and the economy will take off better.”Looking at the few cars on the road, Yang Xin said with a smile.
Everything was going well, and Yang Xin couldn't help but smile. After the bus came out, the economy developed even faster.
However, he needed a strong army to defend all of this. Ever since he defeated the Japanese army, the population under his command had expanded rapidly. It had vaguely reached 800,000 and was still increasing.
Especially Yang Xin's high treatment, which attracted many refugees. Many who could not survive even ran to Chahar to fight.
Therefore, the number of soldiers he could recruit was also increasing. At this time, the number of soldiers in the three divisions had been fully recruited. What was left was training. However, Yang Xin decided to recruit another infantry division. This way, his troops would exceed 90,000.
In just a month and a half, his forces had expanded rapidly. As long as he was given some time to train and consolidate, he was confident that he could annihilate the Japanese even if they sent two more divisions.
Two hundred kilometers was a two-hour journey in the future. Now, they had been driving for half a day. There were still many roads. Firstly, the speed of the car was slow. Secondly, there were problems with the road.
Before they reached Jiuyuan, they could already see hundreds of huge chimneys. At this time, chimneys were the power of industry, and chimneys were the greatest feature of steel factories.
" Ten, fifteen, twenty..." Yang Xin narrowed his eyes and roughly counted.
