Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Arrival at Daqing! Reward: The Family Independence Package!

Zhang Xueming turned to look at Ma Maoxun.

“Find a few thieves from the prisoners who can raid houses and open doors, and then bring a squad. Disguise yourselves as horse bandits and enter the city to capture this Gu Ruiyu for me under the cover of night!”

“Ah?”

Ma Maoxun was stunned.

“Young Marshal, aren’t you entering the city?”

“Why would I enter the city?” Zhang Xueming scoffed.

What a joke!

The idea of disguising himself as a commoner, throwing money around to attract attention, meeting a spoiled young master who gets in the way, revealing his identity to scare the spoiled kid, and then saving the beauty in some heroic melodramatic scene was something Zhang Xueming would never do!

Who is he?

The second son of the Zhang family of Fengtian!

A military family heir!

If something can be solved with a gun, why bother with talking?

Besides, he needed to hurry and move forward to Daqing. Catching a one-zhang red was just a small side task. But he couldn’t let a woman slow him down in building his new family and empire. His mind was free from women!

With his sword drawn, he was naturally unstoppable. Once the base was set up, tanks would roll, and everywhere would be lush with grass!

“I understand, sir!”

Ma Maoxun saluted and quickly led his men away. The main force continued forward.

…

Time passed quickly. Seven days later, just as Zhang Xueming was studying the leg of a one-zhang red that had been trained in martial arts, he suddenly heard a pleasant system prompt in his ear.

“Ding! Dear host, you have arrived at your designated destination!”

“Yes/No, set this location as the foundation of your new family!”

(Prompt: Once the foundation is established, you can only migrate using a migration card, otherwise, it cannot be moved!)

“We’ve arrived!”

Zhang Xueming was delighted and immediately opened the horse cart’s cloth cover. Before him was a vast expanse of wasteland, overgrown with weeds, with unthawed snow scattered around.

Despite this, he could still see several patches of black oil-starred sewage seeping from the muddy ground, looking extremely filthy. Behind Zhang Xueming, Zhang Shuzhen frowned at the sight.

“Father, why did you bring me to this muddy land?”

Zhang Xueming laughed!

Damn it!

Mud? You really dare to say that!

In the future, countless people would fight tooth and nail for this muddy land!

He slapped Zhang Shuzhen on the backside.

“You silly woman, what do you know?”

“This is the treasure that will ensure our children will never go hungry in the future!”

With oil!

He would soon become a rich tycoon, like some boss!

Zhang Xueming had no hesitation.

“System! Establish the family here!”

“Ding! Dear host, your family has successfully established itself from the Zhang family of Fengtian!”

“Congratulations, you have received: ‘Family Independence Resource Package’!”

“Rewards: 100 excavators (with operators), 500,000 tons of cement, 500,000 tons of steel, 500,000 tons of rubber, 500,000 tons of rare non-ferrous metals, 10,000 barrels of oil…”

“You have received 156 basic construction blueprints and 300 related experts from the Soviet Union.”

Along with the system prompt, a series of data appeared in Zhang Xueming’s mind. The sheer number and variety of items caused Zhang Xueming to freeze for ten minutes before coming back to his senses. However, the more he sorted through the rewards in his mind, the more amazed he became.

“Damn! This independence reward is ridiculous!”

The large number of construction machinery and the massive supply of basic building materials were just the beginning. Just the 156 Soviet-sponsored construction blueprints were enough to leave Zhang Xueming astounded.

The 156 projects, known as the “156 Plan” in the country, included everything from petrochemical plants and fuel power stations to cement factories, steel mills, fuel refineries, and even tractor factories. It could be said that this was a “starter pack” from the Soviet Union for the Republic!

With this gift, the Republic rapidly shifted from an agricultural nation to an industrial one in the early stages of its First Five-Year Plan. This transformation was truly magical.

It marked the end of thousands of years of agricultural civilization in the Republic, laying a solid foundation for the future rise of Great Xia. Coincidentally, among the 156 projects, 50 were located in the northeast.

This included major heavy industries and mechanical plants, such as Anshan Steel Factory, Fushun Power Plant, Fushun West Open Pit Mine, Fushun Oil Refinery No. 2, Fushun Aluminum Factory, Shenyang First Machine Tool Factory, Bohai Shipyard, Shenyang Aviation Industry School, and so on.

These were all heavy industries and large machinery factories, which matched perfectly with Zhang Xueming’s location. With these, Zhang Xueming could establish a massive industrial empire in 1916!

Where should I begin construction? He thought.

“Ding! Dear host, would you like to open the 3D aerial view?”

Zhang Xueming was startled and instinctively clicked on the system prompt. In an instant, he felt as though he had become a bird, flying above the Daqing Oilfield.

Mountains, rivers, villages, and mineral deposits were all marked with virtual images showing data!

“Wow—”

Zhang Xueming was stunned!

“This is like an instant strategy game construction mode!”
