The Winter God waved his cold long blade and defeated Autumn, destroying all things and cutting the world into ice and snow.
The construction company had no choice but to temporarily stop work due to the freezing weather. Fortunately, everyone received relatively generous rewards for their hard work throughout the summer and autumn.
If they were frugal, it would be enough for their family to live through the winter peacefully until the company started work next year.
The clothing company did not stop working. Instead, they worked overtime to start producing warm clothing.
After the peddling of the Sun Never Sets and the hard work of all the villagers, the big tree clothing had already opened up a part of the market.
It could be said that the supply was in short supply.
Buyers, whether Chinese or European, all had good reviews, especially female stockings, which were highly sought after by a large number of men.
As for why the men were so passionate about it…everyone knew.
The women in the clothing factory were busy working, while Lin Shu sat in his bedroom on the second floor, holding a cup of hot tea and looking out the window.
The strong wind stirred up a blizzard that was like a wave of pine trees slapping the hearts of people. It made people feel cold, but at the same time, their hearts were extremely calm.
It was already mid-February when he transmigrated here in early June.
"System, how many contribution points do I have now?”
"1583 merit points. 83 points were exchanged for gold and silver. 27 merit points were obtained for controlling and occupying 27 square kilometers of land in Siying Village. 200 points were obtained for exterminating the invaders. 50 points were obtained for building the cement road. 50 points were obtained for building new brick houses for the villagers. 100 points were obtained for building a school…"
It had been half a year since he had transmigrated. It was already the 28th of December, and the most important Spring Festival in Midsummer was about to arrive.
The team had also grown from the initial eleven to more than seventy people. There were 65 soldiers, a small portion of them were equipped with MG42 general purpose machine guns, two fashion designers, and a general manager who was good at managing the company.
As well as two spies, he sent them to the Tang Mountain Prefecture. With money, they successfully got a medium-sized official position.
Through hard work, the company had achieved sales of 5.9 million US dollars and a net profit of 5.6 million US dollars. Most of it was brought in by cigarettes, and there were very few clothes. The construction company was even more at a loss.
The team was growing. Lin Shu had been working hard, very hard.
But it was not enough. It was far from enough.
"Lu Yue, inform everyone to go to the garment factory for the annual meeting and give out the Spring Festival benefits.”
Lu Yue was a special talent that Lin Shu had spent 10 merit points to summon from the system.
"Yes, sir."
Soon, all the employees of Big Tree Company arrived at the garment factory.
"Thank you for your trust in me and joining the big family of Big Tree Company.”
"The company has prepared Spring Festival benefits for everyone. Everyone will be given a full set of cotton clothing, 100 catties of rice, 10 catties of sesame oil, and a certain amount of fruit.”
"Next, the company's general manager, Lu Yue, will speak.”
……
……
The short annual meeting ended quickly. The people who received the benefits were all filled with happy and satisfied smiles.
At the same time, he was filled with gratitude towards that 16-year-old youth.
It was him who had brought her a happy life. She no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and she no longer had to worry about being crushed to death by a collapsing house.
This was what everyone present thought.
After the employees dispersed, Lin Shu lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"System, summon more ordinary soldiers until the maximum number of soldiers in a Grade 2 military camp is 200. Each of them will be equipped with a Garand rifle.”
The System replied," 945 merit points deducted. Summoning will take 135 minutes.”
Iron ore refineries were divided into Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3…Level 1 had an annual output of 10,000 tons of steel and required 100 merit points to build. Upgrading to Level 2, which had an annual output of 100,000 tons of steel, required 1000 merit points.
Lin Shu thought for a moment and ordered the construction of a Level 1 iron ore refinery. The system had 100 employees, but there was a hint that it could only be used to refine iron ore.
An annual production of 10,000 tons was enough for his current use.
Then, he spent another 100 merit points to exchange for ten firearms talents.
Lin Shu planned to start developing the military industry, starting with the imitation of the Garand rifle, accumulating technology and gradually creating new ones.
However, the most important problem at the moment was that he had a gun-making teacher, and the equipment could be developed step by step from scratch.
However, who would learn this gun-making technique?
Could it be that there were no local Chinese to learn from, and only the ten people who were summoned were allowed to create?
They were all proficient in the development of all kinds of firearms.
If that was the case, what was the difference between that and exchanging directly from the system?
Lin Shu's goal was to use these ten people to guide and teach more local Chinese to achieve the goal of self-sufficient clothing and food.
Although it was more convenient and faster to go through the system, the strength of a country could not be relied on alone.
If he relied solely on exchanges and did not develop his own industry and master his own technology, no one would dare to trample on him when he was alive. But what about after he died?
What would happen to this country that was still very backward in industry and technology?
He was afraid that he would repeat the same mistake in an extremely short period of time and fall into deep water again.
Therefore, for the sake of the long-term, he had to do this no matter how difficult it was.
"Ah, a headache, a headache of headaches,"
Lin Shu rubbed his eyebrows and thought about things. The more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became. It was difficult to solve the problem of insufficient manpower in a short period of time.
If he wanted to do great things, he had to have enough people. If he wanted to have enough people, he had to control enough land, and controlling more land required a large number of soldiers.
However, merit points could not just be used to summon soldiers. There were more important things that needed to be exchanged. Moreover, even if he exchanged all of them, he would not be able to exchange for much.
Lin Shu picked up his pen and wrote a letter with crooked handwriting.
He planned to use spies and a large amount of money to get the position of Luan County Chief from the governor of the Tang Shan Prefecture.
As long as he took this springboard, his strength would expand at an extremely fast speed with the support of the 200,000 people in Luan County.
At that time, whatever Tang Mountain Prefecture it was, he could easily take it.
Even the entire Jizhou would be in the bag.
"Li Kai, bring some people to Lie Tang Mountain Mansion tomorrow and bring this to Night Wolf. Tell him to find a way to get this done. Money is not a problem.”
"Also, publicize our policies and wages along the way to attract more people to work here. If you encounter homeless orphans, think of a way to bring them back.”
The country was destroyed, the Russo-Japanese War was fought in the three northeastern provinces, the German-Japanese War was fought in Luzhou, and the Anglo-French War was fought in Qiongzhou…
Coupled with the domestic turmoil, the number of homeless children must be difficult to count. On the one hand, Lin Shu could not bear to see them wandering outside, but on the other hand, he also intended to cultivate talents.
A few months ago, because the villagers were illiterate and could not fully understand the instructions, Lin Shu built a simple school in the north of the village to sweep.
He planned to make the school more formal in the future, recruit children of the right age, and specialize in teaching national defense and military knowledge.
