Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Lingfeng City, City Lord's Mansion

"Adjutant Sun, is there anything you want me to do?" "

Lord Li, from today onwards, Lingfeng City will be completely taken over by me.

Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned, slammed her mouth twice, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed, nodded and said

, "Okay, no problem..."

"

Hmm, why do you want to see me?" Hearing

Su Zheng say that he wanted to see him, Li Xin was stunned again, since Li Zhen left, he has been under house arrest in the city lord's mansion for more than half a year, and there is no government affairs to deal with, Su Zheng's people even gave instructions to directly skip her, just like an abandoned tool man, but today Su Zheng wants to see her.

Adjutant Sun shrugged his shoulders and smiled

, "I don't know, I have to go there yourself."

After saying that, Adjutant Sun smiled, he had already guessed the reason.

Li Xin stood up and left the council hall, returned to his room to change a set of clothes, dressed up a little, and then left the City Lord's Mansion with the soldiers who came to pick him up.

A wide concrete road has been built from Lingfeng City to Teide City, and construction of a railway is still underway.

Li Xin looked at the two endless metal roads beside the cement road, and couldn't help but wonder a little, what was the purpose of such a painstaking effort to build such a seemingly useless railway? Could it be that there were too many mines to use?

The purpose of Su Zheng's large-scale construction of roads and railways is to solve the problem of overcapacity.

With the industrialization of the Klar Kingdom, a large number of products poured out of the Klar Kingdom, resulting in unsalable products in the Soviet government's territory and a large backlog of products.

If there are too many commodities, production must be reduced, and the reduction of production will lead to the unemployment of workers, and the unemployment of workers will lead to workers having no money to buy things, which will further lead to the inability of goods to sell, and further production will be reduced, which will lead to more....

This is one of the truths of the economic crisis!

As a protégé of Mentor Ma, how could Su Zheng not know this.

The solution to this problem was to expand the army and produce armaments, while also devoting vast resources to the construction of public facilities, including concrete roads and railroads connecting several major city-states.

However, the Soviet government, which controlled only a few thousand square kilometers of territory, would undoubtedly face the same situation as Germany before World War II if it invested so aggressively in public construction and the armaments industry.

There are not enough resources in the province to support it.

Then you need to buy it from the outside world, but Su Zheng doesn't need to borrow money to buy it, and the dividends of the Rothschild Group can fully support expenses.

Therefore, Su Zheng was not in a hurry to start a war like Germany, and leisurely waited for the Klar Kingdom to make a move.

The deformed industrial revolution in the Kingdom of Klar has led to a series of problems.

In a short period of time, the production capacity of the Klar Kingdom increased rapidly, but it immediately faced a large area of unemployment, although at the beginning, the Klar Kingdom solved the unemployment by expanding the army.

But the number of unemployed people is still surging, and at the same time, the workers are obviously producing more products through machines, but the wages are getting lower and lower, and the living standards of the people of the Klar Kingdom are getting lower and lower.

Coupled with the fact that the products were unsalable, it led to problems with funds.

In the face of the economic crisis that has emerged at home, the Kingdom of Krar is helpless.

They don't know the logic behind the capital markets. It is strange that the feudal small-scale peasant economic market is still used to solve the problems that arise in the capital-industrial commodity market.

In this case, the Kingdom of Klar chose to wage war against the New Joan Empire.

.

After Li Xin and the soldiers passed through Tide City, they soon entered the range of Suxin City, and the cement road between Tide City and Suxin City was more spacious, and there were more ox carts on the road.

At this time, on the railway next to it, a train came head-on with a steam chatter.

The train was moving rapidly with a large amount of supplies, and rows of red-coated cannons were still tied to several of the flat cars.

Li Xin stopped and looked at the speeding train in surprise, this thing was not only fast, but also pulling so many things!

"

Li Xin asked the soldier next to him.

"This is a steam locomotive, also called

a train, and it is driven by a steam engine!" the soldier explained, hearing that Li Xin suddenly realized, she had seen the steam engine in the factory in Lingfeng City, and she was surprised by that thing at that time, but she didn't expect it to be used like this! Looking at

the train in the distance, and finally leaving the sight, Li Xin and the others continued to rush towards Suxincheng.

Soon after, Li Xin was taken to Suxincheng, which is now much more prosperous than before, and has built a ten-meter-high tower.

Su Xincheng is now far more prosperous and beautiful than Lingfeng City, the main road from entering the city gate to the city lord's mansion is already a straight and spacious cement road, trees are planted every distance on both sides of the road, and the houses along the road have also been renovated.

The road is full of traffic, many horse-drawn carriages run on the road, and the road is lined with various shops.

Soon Li Xin was brought to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's personal guards, dressed in red shirts and holding breech guns, stood motionless and straight.

One of the soldiers who had brought Li Xin over got off his horse and came to one of the guards, and the two sides exchanged a military salute.

After the two talked for a while, the red-clothed guard walked up to Li Xin, gave a military salute, and then made a gesture of please.

Li Xin followed the guards into the city lord's mansion with some nervousness, this was the first time he had seen Su Zheng since he was controlled by Su Zheng.

In her impression, Su Zheng doesn't seem to be much older than herself, and she sometimes wonders if Su Zheng will also be controlled.

In the conference hall, Chris is reporting to Su Zheng on the transfer of all kinds of materials, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the materials need to be prepared in place in advance, so that there will be no worries when the army moves.

Li Xin was brought to the council chamber and heard the last words of Chris's report:

"We are confident that we can occupy these 8 city-states in five days, and we will be ready to enter the Clark Kingdom to fight in 10 days."

Chris's words shocked Li Xin, what did Chris mean by this to invade the Clare Kingdom? Li Xin didn't expect Su Zheng's ambition to be so big!

" Your Highness, the people have been brought!"

The guards gave a military salute to Su Zheng and said, Su Zheng's eyes looked at Li Xin.

"Oh! Hello, Your Highness Li Xin.

Su Zheng stood up from the swivel chair and greeted Li Xin, and then made a gesture of invitation to the sofa on the side.

"Sit down! I'll be straight to the point, I called you here for two things.... Hey, don't be so nervous!"

Looking at Li Xin, who was sitting with a straight face and a serious face, Su Zheng smiled and said.

Li Xin nodded, and her facial expression slowed down slightly.

"You know the musket exists, right?"

"Yes...", "

Tell me what you think!"

Su Zheng leaned back in his chair and looked at Li Xin and asked.

Hearing Su Zheng's inquiry, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"This will change the future of mortals, mortals... It is also possible to have the power to fight with the magician!" Hearing

Li Xin's answer, Su Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and continued to ask: "Then are you willing to contribute your strength to the future of changing mortals

?" Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Zheng with some excitement after reacting:

"What do you mean?"

"Su Xin Political and Military Academy, the principal's special training class, you can think about it!".

Su Zheng waved his hand at Chris, and Chris took an agreement and handed it to Li Xin.

"The Suxin Political and Military Academy is my mere mortal... Or human civilization, a place to cultivate the top elites of society, and the principal's special training class, which is taught by me personally!Would you like to join?"

Li Xin nodded without hesitation, no matter what, she could only agree, otherwise she would continue to be under house arrest and manipulated...

"Hahaha! Okay! Welcome!" Su

Zheng said, pointing to the agreement. Li Xin picked up the pen and signed her name at the end of the agreement.

"Hey, you're 18 years old, aren't you?"

"Yes...."

"Oh!

I...."

Suddenly asked by Su Zheng like this, Li Xin was suddenly at a loss, lowered her head shyly, and blushed hot.

"Aha, I shouldn't have been asking about your private affairs, it's just that you've been writing to someone for the past few months..... Haha..."

Li Xin still lowered his head and didn't speak, Su Zheng said more directly:

"I know who it is, what about him, now he is in a state of mind, this war will start soon, I don't want him to be ...... Private matters have affected his work, and he doesn't take the initiative, so I want to ask you what you plan!

" Seeing that Li Xin was still silent, Su Zheng smiled and asked

, "What, is it because he is only a viscount, don't you look down on his background?"

Hearing this, Li Xin raised his head slightly and said

, "No, on the contrary.... Now I'm just a prisoner, and he ......

" Su Zheng patted the table, interrupted Li Xin's words, pointed to the agreement in front

of her and said, "Hey, your current identity is a student of the special training class of the Suxin Political and Military Academy!"

Then Su Zheng stood up, came to the chair next to Li Xin and sat down, and said to her:

"Moreover, as long as it is in the territory under my control, love should have nothing to do with identity." You are both interested in each other now, but neither of you takes the initiative, and in the future.... It may become a lifelong regret..."The

reason why Su Zheng became a matchmaker is that he doesn't want to see the regrets of his previous life play out on his henchmen.

"Okay, I'm not going to meddle in your personal affairs, just to remind you not to leave regrets.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly:

"Thank you, I know."

Seeing this, Su Zheng nodded, stood up, handed the agreement on the table to Li Xin and said:

"Okay, I will say so much about private matters, the war will start soon, you can choose to observe, I have to remind you that every student of Su Xin Academy has a task, to write an answer essay before graduation! Military and political aspects are okay, depending on the direction of development you choose..."

Su Xin Political and Military College, the principal is Su Zheng, the vice presidents are Chris and Lei Ming, Li Zhen is the military commissar, and Chris is also the political commissar, and the first phase is currently open, with a total of 58 people in the political class and 26 people in the military class.

Each period of teaching lasts for 2-5 years, and if you successfully graduate within 5 years, you will be the future top elite of society, otherwise you will be eliminated.

In addition, there is also a special training class for principals, this one belongs to a special class, each of which is personally selected by Su Zheng and then taught in person, regardless of semester. Now there are a total of 8 people with Li Xin.
