It depends entirely on how productive the factories are. "Increased money supply" = "inflation" is an immense over simplification of economics.

The factories aren't instantaneous. You still have to spend money to build them, and the government subsidizing their construction is by definition increasing the money supply.

Since inflation is driven by expectations, there is always going to be an inflation pulse when in the middle of an investment boom for manufacturing.
