It should be noted that the land area of new China, as well as its construction technology, aid to surpass the Great Tang Group entirely. Achieving even half the construction speed was already a great achievent.
Although the quality of the roads could not compare, the road standards of the Great Tang Group essentially ant soil and crushed stone compacted into hard surfaces sufficed—yet this was already countless tis better than the past transportation system.
With the connectivity provided by these highways, the pace of industrial production within the Great Tang Group reached an unprecedented height. Many products beca self-sufficient within a few months, saving the Great Tang Group a considerable amount of capital.
These roads, like blood vessels, facilitated circulation and also helped the industrial machinery of the Great Tang Group to slowly revive within the boundaries of the Great Tang Kingdom.
Thanks to the construction capabilities near mines, the steel output of the Great Tang Kingdom skyrocketed from tens of thousands of tons in Zheng Country to millions of tons.
This was partly due to the large-scale steel-making equipnt brought over from Dragon Island and Brunas by the Great Tang Group, along with their advanced steel-making technology.
On the other hand, it was because the Tang people were incredibly hardworking, willing to work at the forefront, complaining not even when they only had moldy bread and leaves to eat, for several days at a ti.
After witnessing the frantic work ethic of these individuals, Roger, Mathews, and others truly understood why Tang Mo's parents and criminals like Li'ao, even when leaving their holand, could make a na for themselves in a foreign kingdom.
They were so hardworking that it was sowhat unbelievable. Give them a hoe, and they could cultivate barren mountains and wild ridges, turning them into an idyllic paradise. Hand them a bag of seeds, and they would find a way to level the land, sow, and then patiently wait until the land produced a bountiful harvest.
With the technological support from the Great Tang Group, the speed at which local production resud was almost unbelievable. With no need for excessive appeasent, the people who received land imdiately beca docile, as if they had never experienced any hardship.
Yet everyone knew that last year, these now-acquiescent farrs and diligent workers were so impoverished they could not even feed themselves or pay taxes and were forced to sell their children and wander in exile, with their cries echoing in the air.
Now, won who trained for just 10 days in night schools could be seen working diligently in groups, laughing and chatting in the textile factories.

They were responsible for watching over 5 looms each, with their hair tied up in white towels, wearing clean aprons, their sleeves rolled up to reveal their arms, working earnestly in front of the noisy machines.
There are now two hundred thousand such won in the Great Tang Kingdom! That's why the output of textiles within the kingdom is staggering.
To sustain production, textile factory owners had to start importing raw materials on a large scale from Dahua as well as Chu Country and Qi Country.
Cotton, wool, silk... all raw materials that qualified were imdiately loaded onto trucks and shipped to Great Tang. This terrifying volu of purchases almost destroyed the local economies.
At the sa ti, cheap Great Tang commodities flooded the markets surrounding the Dahua Empire. Ironware and porcelain, once expensive, were now pressed down to rock-bottom prices by the terrifying production capacity of the Great Tang Group.
The horror of modern industry, when faced with traditional handicraft workshops, amounted to a decimation. Do you know how easy it is to equip Cavalry with modern industrial technology? A single factory could produce hundreds of thousands of standard plate armors for the Cavalry in just a few weeks...
Such dumping imdiately put pressure on the neighboring Kingdoms, who, under a new sense of crisis, began to raise tariffs, decreeing that all imported products from the Great Tang Group would be subject to high import taxes.
Yet the rchants from the Great Tang Kingdom seed not to care about this loss of profit; they continued to export these items and then massively imported everything they could.
The Great Tang Kingdom imported iron ore, copper ore, rubber, and even petroleum; it was like a behemoth devouring everything it could purchase.
Tang Mo was striving to make the Great Tang Kingdom the world factory of this alternate world. To him, this title had a strangely familiar feeling.
And in this life, he had the technology to give this world factory the most complete industrial chain, and he had the confidence to make it the most advanced and high-end manufacturing hegemon.

He had no intention of engaging in financial gymnastics or playing the ga of financial capital; those were just the ans and tricks he used against other opponents.
This ti, what he wanted to create was a veritable powerhouse of production capacity where the entire world could only serve as his base of raw material supply.
Linshui, Tongcheng, or other important cities in the Great Tang Kingdom had already completed the most basic urban infrastructure construction.
For the first ti, the locals experienced what a true modern tropolis was like: only after they had access to electric lights, running water, sewers, and flush toilets did they realize they had wasted most of their lives living like dogs.
The world was so convenient, so bright, and so full of hope. Seeing their new lives, the industriousness of the Tang People was imdiately magnified without limits.
To put it bluntly, it was all about hustling!
What? There are electric lights in the factory buildings? Then why rest? Isn't it fine if one person works 12 hours and we rotate in two shifts? Let the machines keep running; only people need to rest.
What? A day off on Sundays? What a joke! Don't we already rest for 12 hours daily? Why take an entire day off? Not working overti is like betraying this new life!
What? There's free education for childbirth? Nursery is free? Elentary school is free? High school is free? His Majesty is truly wise!
This king deserves to be immortalized! I can have ten children!
What? Chemical factories have hazard pay? Work two days, rest one? And there's a lung-cleansing holiday and dical insurance? Double salary? I'm in!
What danger? It won't kill you on the spot, right? So what's there to be afraid of? My lousy life isn't worth much; if I can work for ten years, I'm ahead!
What? A wireless equipnt testing factory? What's that for? Bad for the ears? No problem, I can handle it! It's just noise testing, I'm not afraid of going deaf!
als with at? Subsidies for supporting children? Will there be any extra funeral expenses? Give those to and I'm there! Really! I'm no coward!
Tang Mo even suspected that if these desperately poor people were given a large sum of money, they would dare to craft nuclear bombs with their bare hands without protective gear...
Having three days off a month was legendary welfare to these people, and getting paid on ti each month was considered a privilege; if they got extra pay for overti, that was seen as perfectly reasonable generosity!
According to the simple view of these hardworking citizens: if you let live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, I'd feel uneasy if I didn't work a bit extra for the money.
The Great Tang Group funded the free training of workers and the supplentary education of farming knowledge for the peasants, while also desperately enhancing the education system, which likewise rapidly advanced the comprehensive national power of the Great Tang Kingdom.
Never underestimate such details; they are the unnoticed subtle elents that underpin a modern nation. Education is the foundation, the cornerstone.
Only with the beginning enlightennt of the populace was it possible for the Great Tang Kingdom to implent the concept of a modern state and to spread advanced managent systems.
Initially, to integrate the surrendered troops from Zheng Country into the city defense and border forces, many inept sections were reorganized into the police force.
These parasites, used to bullying and arrogance, often colluded to deceive upwards and downwards, extorting civilians and covertly defying their superiors' orders.
It was the oversight and reporting by the local night schools and students that allowed officials from Brunas to eliminate these parasites and standardize the managent systems.
Only after breaking the old system could a new one be swiftly established, and such a system was precisely the area where the Great Tang Kingdom truly surpassed all other nations.

Not daring to go to the hospital just because I haven't done a nucleic acid test =.=! Dragon Spirit hasn't left the house for six or seven days... the ultimate hobody, I might only find out about a zombie outbreak after a week of such nesting...
