The degree to which the railway is built depends on many factors. The preparation of materials and materials, transportation, the tools used, the working conditions of the workers, and the coordination of the organization and personnel will all have a positive or negative impact on the degree of railway construction. For example, if the transportation conditions are not good, even if the workers are highly motivated, the progress of the transportation will be delayed due to the restrictions of the transportation conditions. So it's very important to coordinate things.

Scrooge sat in the railroad company's office, looking at all kinds of related copy. Looking at it, he gradually frowned.

"Why is the whole process so slow?" Although Scrooge knew that the degree of railway construction in this era would be much slower than that of later generations. But the current level of advancement still makes him very dissatisfied. He decided to go to the scene to see for himself and find out what was the reason for the slow construction of the road.

……

"Why did you stop again?" Scrooge asked. This was already the third time his carriage had stopped.

"Mr. MacDonald, one of the axles in the car is broken." The coachman replied.

"Hell! How long does it take to fix? ”

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald, soon, forty minutes will be almost."

"Alright, Pluto, let's go down for a walk." Scrooge said to his bodyguard.

"Yes, Mr. MacDonald." Pluto immediately picked up his pump-action shotgun, opened the door, and jumped in. At this time, the guards on the vehicles in front and behind also got out of the car one after another, and quickly discharged the defensive posture.

Scrooge got out of the carriage and slipped as soon as his feet hit the ground, and if it hadn't been for Pluto, who was beside him, he would have almost sat on the ground.

The road was muddy and heavily loaded with carriages had left deep marks on the road, and yesterday it rained here, so the makeshift road along the direction of the railway was immediately turned into a pond.

"What the hell? What about the roadside gutters? What fool built the road! Scrooge yelled.

But no one could answer him that question right now. Then Scrooge asked, "How far is it from the construction site?" ”

"Mr. MacDonald, there's still three kilometers or so." One person replied.

"Give me another car, and we'll move on." Scrooge said.

……

It took a while to finally arrive at the construction site, but at this time, there was no scene of a hot battle on the construction site. There were only a few dozen workers boredom scribbling around the area where the roadbed was to be laid, and a few squatting in the sun at the door of the camp.

"Who's in charge here?" Scrooge asked with a grim face.

After a while, a fat man ran over in fear.

"Mai...... Mr. MacDonald? You...... Do you have something to do with me? The fat man grabbed an old hat in his hand, and his voice trembled nervously.

"Why aren't your workers working?" Scrooge asked, suppressing his anger. At this time, Pluto also approached, staring at the fat man viciously, and stroking the MacDonald pump-action shotgun in his hand with his hand.

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald, I ...... You...... You listen to my explanation, because the road conditions are not good, the stones and pebbles used to lay the roadbed have not been transported, so ...... So ......"

"So you're going to let them do nothing, where to bask in the sun?" Scrooge interrupted him viciously, "What's your name!" ”

"Mr. MacDonald, I ...... My name is Phil, Phil? Robinson. The fat man looked at Scrooge desperately, he was very worried, and from Scrooge's mouth there would immediately come a sentence like "Now you are fired", so he quickly added: "Sir, it's not my fault, the company has always been like this." And you haven't had time to adjust the operation of the company, in which case all I can do is do as I used to. Sir, everyone in America knows that you are a philanthropic person, and you will always give others a chance to teach and correct their mistakes. ”

To be honest, Scrooge really wanted to say "you're fired" to that fat man just now, and then see if he shouted "I have a ninety old mother at home who has no one to support", or shouted "I have made meritorious contributions to the company, I have been injured for the company, I want to see Lincoln". But now, the part where the fat man patted his horse had made him change his mind. It's not that Scrooge is a person who likes to be patted by others, but he thinks that those who can really shoot his ass well are also talents.

It is said that Lord Wei has a secret when judging talents, that is, to see who doesn't pat on the back, he thinks that the reason why he likes to pat on the back is because he has no ability. Those who don't have the ability can only rely on patting, and those who have the ability must be unwilling to pat the sycophants. But this is not necessarily the case. First of all, Lord Wei is a little arrogant, he himself is definitely not the so-called incompetent, a person can step on a few boats and swim with ease, and can make reasonable decisions in various crises. This is definitely a capable person! For another example, Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions doesn't know much about words, and her level of sycophants is first-class, but Lao Mao thinks that she has no problem being a prime minister. On the contrary, people who really don't flatter themselves don't necessarily have the ability, and the possibility of being a second-hand product is definitely not small. For example, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, many of those who "waited for their idleness to talk about their hearts and minds, and reported to the king when they died" were people who were actually incapable.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Scrooge said, "See that road? Why is it that it rained yesterday and is still muddy? Because it doesn't have a gutter! So, get your men together right now, and dig two drainage ditches along this road! ”

"Yes, Mr. MacDonald! I'll do it right away. The fat man immediately jumped up like a rubber ball after being struck hard, and he ran to the workers as fast as he could, and for a while he pointed his fingers, and then the workers immediately got into action, and they ran swiftly towards the road with their shovels and hoes, and then began to dig the drains.

"The action is fast, and the distribution of manpower and the command are not bad. Moreover, the fact that the workers are moving so fast shows that they have a good relationship with the workers. This person is quite interesting, and it may be good to arrange for him to work in the guild of the railway company in the future. Scrooge thought.

……

Immediately afterwards, Scrooge went to several construction sites, most of which were the same, chaotic and inefficient, and in some places, there should have been at least 200 workers, but in fact there were not even half of them. The person in charge shirked and said that this was because of the difficult conditions, and many employees did not want to do it, so they left after receiving the latest salary. And they haven't had time to report the new number yet. But Scrooge suspected that these guys were simply eating empty wages.

"Dare to take advantage of me?" Scrooge smiled slightly, but he was ruthless in his heart, "If I don't make you regret why you came to this world, I won't be surnamed MacDonald!" ”

It was easy to expose these people, just find a few workers to interrogate, but Scrooge didn't do that, instead he pretended to understand, which reassured the originally nervous guys. There are some things that are inconvenient for him to come forward, and if he doesn't come forward, someone will naturally come forward to deal with them.

At this time, the war between the North and the South was once again at a stalemate, but the Cleveland Volunteer Corps, which had just fought a few battles, had been withdrawn from the front line to rest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Scrooge transferred back the original Blackwater veterans. In this way, Blackwater's ability to act has not only been restored, but even improved.

……

A few days later, at a meeting of the board of directors of the Union Pacific Railroad, Scrooge distributed a copy of the paper to the directors. This is an article titled "Union Pacific Railroad Employment Survey". The directors read the report in silence, and all of them had angry looks on their faces.

"According to the company's data, we employ a total of 56oo workers, but after investigation, in fact, there are less than 3,000 workers working on the construction site, so where do the rest go? Quite simply, the rest of the people don't exist at all! They're just a prop on the list to cheat on wages. Before we took over this company, our foolish predecessors simply didn't have the strength to build a project of this magnitude, and they kept subcontracting everything to all kinds of contractors, most of whom were local hooligans, gangsters! These gangsters, who have no vision and only know that they make a fortune, have been swindling money from our predecessors and the government in this way. Now that it's us, they still don't repent and dare to play such a trick! I really don't know whether to live or die! Scrooge said.

"If you don't teach them a lesson, they won't know who is the boss here. It's as easy as crushing them to death as a little bug. Morgan, who is also a director of the company, said, "I think we need to give them a severe punishment so that no one will want to learn from them to do something they don't know how to live or die!" ”

"These people are the garbage of society!" "I think by eliminating them, I mean protecting more good people." This is a great good thing that is beneficial to the motherland, the people, and even mankind. In addition, in addition to the stormy blow, it is also very important to take precautions in ordinary times. That's why I've set up a discipline inspection body to carry out the task of supervision, so that in the future, similar problems will be nip in the bud. What do you guys think? ”

"Very well, I'm in favor!"

"I'm for it too!"

"I'm for it too!"

"That's a great idea!" Morgan concluded, "I think let's just call this body the Union Pacific Railroad Board of Discipline." ”

Later, the Central Pacific Railroad, a competitor of Union Pacific Railroad, also copied the idea and established a "Central Pacific Railroad Disciplinary Committee" within their company. Later, such institutions appeared in many large companies.
