    In 1925, the Republic of China had reached its fifth year of development under the bubble economy. In this year, the Republic of China basically completed railway construction.  In five years, 200,000 kilometers of railways were built frantically.  The total length of railways in the Republic of China has reached 380,000 kilometers. However, for a large country like the Republic of China, railway construction can still continue because of its very large territory.  There are still many railway branches that have not yet been completed. ? Among them, the Siberian Railway has become the target of crazy private investment, and everyone has seen the benefits of Siberia's railway.  In the future, the consortium will exploit various resources in Siberia, among which agricultural resources also have great development potential.  At this time, a new wave of planting emerged in the agriculture of the Republic of China, which was the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine.  With the comprehensive popularization of traditional Chinese medicine, the artificial cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine has become an industry with great potential. However, the Republic of China has very high requirements for the quality of traditional Chinese medicine.  Therefore, after the traditional Chinese medicine is planted, there is basically no topdressing of chemical fertilizers and the Chinese medicinal materials are allowed to grow naturally.  The cultivation of these traditional Chinese medicines occupies a lot of cultivated land resources.  For the Republic of China, land resources are too abundant at this time.  Rich enough to splurge on.  In this era, the world¡¯s population is not that large, so even if you grow too much food, you won¡¯t be able to sell it.  With the emergence of hybrid rice and hybrid high-yield lodging-resistant wheat, as well as the use of chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers, grain production has increased dramatically.  In terms of animal husbandry, thanks to the support of Australia and regions such as Inner Mongolia, Mongolia, Qinghai, and Tibet, the output is also sufficient.  The breeding industry also needs feed such as corn, and the corn planting area is supported by the North China Plain, the Northeast Plain and the Central Asian Plain, which is also very sufficient.  Maize is also grown in large quantities in the Sichuan Plain and Jianghuai Plain.  There is a lot of fruit planting area. Although fruit prices continue to rise, they are still normal market prices because labor costs have increased in the Republic of China.  Therefore, the price of fruits is also raised based on the increase in labor costs. As people's income increases, they can also consume a large amount of fruits.  There are also a lot of imported fruits, but there is a huge price difference, which is all made by the consortium. The price increase of imported fruits is also to protect China's fruit growing industry.  ¡°But a large amount of cash crop production has been subcontracted out, and the scale of fruit cultivation is actually not too large, so exporting is impossible.  After a large number of cash crops were subcontracted, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine became the first choice to use those lands.  What's more, with the construction of the North-South Water Diversion Project, arable land resources will become increasingly abundant.  More and more abundant resources.  Let there be no restrictions on the development of the Republic of China.  In terms of fertilizer resources, China lacks potassium fertilizer, but Europe exports a large amount of potassium fertilizer to China. With the end of the red furry bear.  Potash mines in Tsarist Russia also began to be mined.  Potassium fertilizer can make crops resistant to cold, drought, and waterlogging. It can also make crops stronger and avoid lodging.  In the past, there was a lack of potassium fertilizer, so we had no choice but to use potassium fertilizer.  This problem is also solved at this time.  There are so many petroleum resources that they cannot be used up. As the consortium builds increasingly large-scale refining equipment.  Coupled with subcontracting the industry to Middle Eastern countries with low labor costs, refining costs continue to decrease.  After the Republic of China levied taxes on oil, its price was obviously very cheap for ordinary people with growing incomes.  Many rural people even use oil to generate electricity.  Coal is also one of the imported resources. In order to maintain the balance of import and export, European and American countries exported large amounts of coal to the Republic of China.  For the Chinese people, the price of these coals does not feel any pressure.  Therefore, the Republic of China rarely considers energy conservation.  Cars have relatively large displacements and very strong power.  Coupled with the lack of resource constraints, cars are also built to be sturdy.  However, the Republic of China still produced some economical cars.  Used for export to those subject countries.  Driven by the economy of the Republic of China, those dependent countries have also developed very rapidly, especially Japan. With the hard work of the Japanese people, they export a large number of low-level industrial products to the Republic of China every year.  Every year, Japan receives a large number of manufacturing orders.  Only when Japan completes these orders will the people have food to eat.  The development of railways in these dependent countries is also very rapid.  The roads are also not inferior. The Republic of China loaned them money to build these railways and roads.  Borrowing more and more money, with constant compound interest, allows the Republic of China to continue to exploit these subordinate countries, and the construction of railways and roads will make it easier for the Republic of China to exploit these subordinate countries.  "It's just that the way of squeezing capital exports and commodity exports is relatively hidden, so ordinary ignorant people cannot detect it.  In addition, the Republic of China continues to control newspapers and other public opinion channels in these countries, which further makes the people of those dependent countriesI can't feel the exploitation of the Republic of China.  The total length of roads in the Republic of China soared to 1.6 million kilometers. In the past five years, an average of 300,000 kilometers of roads were built every year, and 500,000 kilometers of roads were built in the whole year of 1925.  Highways in the Republic of China are divided into six levels: national highways, provincial highways, municipal highways, county highways, township highways, and village highways. ? Among them, national highways are divided into general highways and strategic highways.  The military is responsible for specifying routes and construction specifications for strategic highways.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The completion of these highways helped the Republic of China get rid of its basic backwardness.  But the highway system is not perfect and is still far from perfect.  In terms of construction funds, it is very abundant. The government issues bonds when building roads. The sales of the bonds are very good, and the people have a lot of money to buy these bonds.  At the same time, private parties are also building a large number of roads. Many roads have great commercial profits and have become hot spots for investment. The state sometimes subcontracts some road construction projects to private enterprises. As long as the quality is high, those private funds can  Tolls will be charged for passing vehicles, and the toll station will be canceled after 20 years.  In the construction of township roads, there are national allocations and local allocations.  At the same time, due to urbanization, many rural people have moved into cities. Many people have made a fortune in cities and will spend a sum of money to build roads in their hometowns.  Most of the ordinary cement required for highway construction and real estate is imported from outside. Ordinary cement manufacturing is an industry subcontracted by the Republic of China.  The dust produced by cement production is a bit large, and the cement produced in the Republic of China is generally made of special cement.  Ordinary cement is also partially produced in the western region by wet methods, and even the cement manufacturing in the west will soon be subcontracted to the Russians and Middle Eastern countries. ? Nearly half of these ordinary cements are produced in Japan, and North Korea, Vietnam, and Siam Middle Eastern countries also produce part of them. Even Namibia has begun to produce cement.  It¡¯s just that most of those cement manufacturing plants were built by the Republic of China and then exported to the Republic of China at extremely low prices.  The labor of the dependent countries has subcontracted many tasks for the infrastructure construction of the Republic of China.  The highway system of the Republic of China is far from complete, so it is still under construction.  A lot of construction absorbs a lot of labor.  Such construction is feasible for ordinary people with little education.  Moreover, workers on these ordinary construction sites receive relatively high wages every month.  More than workers in a factory.  Generally, you can get a salary of 5 yuan for working on a construction site for one day.  If you work 20 days a month and 10 months a year, you can get an income of 1,000 yuan.  ¡°However, part of this money must be paid for tax, which is about 20% personal income tax.  In the end, I was able to get 800 yuan, which was enough to buy a house and a car.  Today in the Republic of China, the most expensive thing is naturally the labor force, especially those who do manual labor. In addition, the wages of skilled workers are also relatively high.  In those prosperous areas.  There is basically no labor imported from overseas.  There are a large number of sparsely populated areas in the western part of the Republic of China, so the labor force imported from overseas is mostly sent to those sparsely populated areas to do hard work.  Such as the North-South Water Diversion Project.  If the labor force imported from overseas is placed in a place with a large population,  It will cause a lot of security problems.  There will also be competition for jobs.  And for places where it is difficult to recruit workers, it is very suitable to use labor force imported from overseas.  Those imported from overseas have low labor costs and can reduce construction costs.  The reason why the Republic of China gives such high labor remuneration to ordinary labor is to cultivate the internal market, even though the wages seem to be very high.  But the consortium can get the money back through the consumption of goods.  Because it is difficult for ordinary people to save money.  Otherwise they would not be poor.  Therefore, if you give money to the poor for consumption, it is easy to get it back.  Moreover, after the poor consume, they will have houses and cars, and the distribution of national wealth will be more balanced, which will also improve people's livelihood.  It can also reduce the demographic dividend that private capital can capture and prevent private capital from getting rich through improper means.  As for the overseas population, they are not ordinary people of the Republic of China, so naturally they do not need such good treatment. Giving them twenty or thirty yuan a month is already a lot for them.  The arrival of these overseas populations allows the Republic of China to build more infrastructure and increase the speed of construction.  Now what the Republic of China is striving for is development speed, a development speed that comprehensively surpasses Europe and the United States.  This kind of development speed,??It is beyond the reach of Europe and the United States.  Investment in bridges, water conservancy, electricity, etc. is also very crazy. A large number of construction projects basically provide the labor force of the Republic of China with work everywhere.  And after you get the money, you can buy cars that are not too expensive, and you can also buy houses and electrical appliances.  In order to further speed up construction, factories in the Republic of China began to recruit female workers for positions that could accommodate female workers, while men went to build railways, highways, water conservancy, electric power, real estate, and heavy industry.  There are even many female workers in automobile production and aircraft production.  ¡°Obviously the Republic of China is actively preparing for war.  Because during wartime, men are busy with the war, so a large number of female workers are needed.  When female workers enter the factory, they will indeed neglect the care of their families to a certain extent.  But it doesn¡¯t matter, there are a large number of Filipino domestic workers in the Republic of China.  The service industry has developed rapidly under this background. For the people of the Republic of China, since they can make more money in factories, why not spend some money to hire people to do housework?  Of course, housekeeping will cause some problems, so the consortium established a professional housekeeping company to conduct strict training for Filipino maids before letting them work.
