Ferdinand has been in a good mood lately, he envied the days of chartering before the crossing, and now the first development zone in Bulgaria is starting at the price of cabbage.

Once the development zone is developed in the future, the rent alone will be enough for him to squander, and there will be water, electricity, gas, and property fees that can be monopolized, which is a lot of income every day.

On the other hand, Ferrantz was busy. Perhaps for some people, busyness is also a kind of happiness, so that people don't have time to experience pain; Running around is a kind of joy that allows people to truly feel life; Exhaustion is a pleasure that leaves no time for emptiness.

Ferdinand was fortunate to have a subordinate like Ferrantz, and no matter how hard and tired he was, he never complained.

"Recruitment" has never been an easy job, which is related to the development of enterprises in the future.

Now Ferrantz is not recruiting dozens or hundreds of people at a time, but more than 20,000 people at a time, including some management personnel in addition to ordinary workers.

In order to manage the newly recruited workers, Ferrantz even borrowed a battalion of guards from Ferdinand to help maintain order.

Even so, trivial things have not happened less. Now Ferrantz finally knows the benefits of retired soldiers, and he is directly sent as a security guard, without training.

Before taking up the post, there will be a month of military training. This was Ferdinand's idea, mainly to develop a sense of collectivity and obedience.

Not only that, but like all Bulgarian workers, literacy education and, incidentally, patriotic brainwashing.

The textbook was adapted by Ferdinand from the materials of later MLM organizations, and of course it was also mixed with a lot of personal work, and it was full of patriotic ideas of loyalty to the monarch.

From the perspective of later generations, this is a completely feudal tumor, as well as crazy personality cultism. However, at that time, in the relatively conservative Balkans, this idea was still very marketable, and except for the occasional murmur of young scholars, others were still very supportive.

If the problems of workers can be solved, then the managers are in trouble. The middle and high-level management can also be removed from other industries, but what about the grassroots technical management personnel?

Of the thousands of grassroots managers, even if Ferrantz tried his best, he only solved a small half.

Fortunately, the work task is not heavy now, the development project of the new area has just begun, and the earthwork does not have high technical requirements, and there is still time to run in.

In the era when automobile technology was not yet mature, short-distance transportation was still animal power plus manpower. Not to mention the digging and filling, there is no shadow of the excavator, and there has been no major breakthrough in internal combustion engine technology, so you can't engage in steam excavators!

Even if the terrain is relatively flat, the engineers estimate that the earthwork construction of the first phase of the project will take more than three months to complete, and the main body will be completed and put into use, at least by the end of 1892.

Ferdinand's idea of developing a development zone for a short period of time and achieving results was bankrupt at the beginning.

Jackson is a farmer in a small village in the Bulgarian state of Burgas, whose family has hundreds of acres of land and can live a small life. Since he was a child, he has been very envious of the outside world, and when he grew up, he wanted to go out several times.

But Old Jack has always been very traditional and conservative, and he wants to leave Little Jackson to inherit the family business, that is, to continue farming. But Jackson's generation has three brothers, and once the ancestral land is divided, everyone will become strapped for the rest of their lives.

Hearing the news that the new district of Sliven was established and that the new district development company was going to recruit people, Jackson knew that this was an opportunity to get rid of the small mountain village, and he could no longer hold back his yearning for the outside world.

Old Jack blocked as always: "Jackson, the outside world is not as beautiful as you imagined, it is full of lust for profit everywhere, and I am obedient and honest to stay at home and farm!" This year we have adopted new farming techniques, and our income has increased, and life will gradually get better! ”

Jackson had already made up his mind to go out and have a showdown with Old Jack.

He did not flinch as usual, and said in a firm tone: "But old Jack, my most respected father! Don't forget, we now have three brothers, and if we split up in the future, our current land will not be enough to support three families! ”

"For God's sake, let me go out on a rampage! You don't want me and my two younger brothers to be unable to even raise children after we get married in the future, so let's go bankrupt together! ”

After listening to Jackson's words, Old Jack wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know this truth, but his mind couldn't get over this hurdle. simply remained silent, silently wishing Jackson a smooth journey in his heart.

In the 19th century, many families in rural Bulgaria were impoverished because of their separation. So much so that some families don't dare to raise more children. Due to the lack of effective contraception, many children are abandoned in churches after birth, expecting adoption by well-meaning missionaries.

In fact, we all know that there are only a few people who can actually meet good Samaritans. At the beginning of his reign, Ferdinand funded the establishment of dozens of orphanages in Bulgaria, and received thousands of orphans every year.

It can be seen that after the Industrial Revolution, the population growth in the Balkans was slower than that of Western Europe, mainly due not only to war, but also to poverty.

As soon as Jackson arrived in Sliven New District, he heard someone shouting: "Jackson, you are here too, aren't you farming at home, and old Jack agrees with you to come out?" ”

The person who came was his fellow countryman, and Jackson asked curiously, "Very, why are you here too??" Aren't you wandering in Sofia? ”

"Don't mention it, the food factory I was staying in went bankrupt, and the boss arrested me before I paid my salary for the last three months. Fortunately, it is easy to find a job now, and I have been doing odd jobs for more than half a year. I heard that this recruitment is for a large company, I think it should be more reliable, so I came to try my luck! Verry said with a depressed face

"Oh, may God bless you, my poor Viri!" Jackson said comfortingly

Verry looked at Jackson with a sincere face and said, "Okay, Jackson tell me about yourself!" I don't believe Old Jack will let you out! ”

Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, but he can't do it if he doesn't say yes!" I told him that if he didn't let me out, it would be difficult for him to see his grandson in the future! ”

After stopping Jackson's words, Verry suddenly became low. His family is much more difficult than Jackson, in addition to a married sister, there were originally 3 younger brothers and sisters, but then there was really no way, 3 younger brothers and sisters were sent away one after another, and now life and death are unknown. That's why he would come out early to make ends meet, and their family was actually bankrupt before.

Jackson realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Verry, you know that I'm a person, and I've always been open-mouthed!" ”
