At this time, the western United States was a completely desolate place.

Now these places are some people who are extremely poor, have lost their land, or cannot live in the central and eastern regions, they are either alone, or they drag their families, drive horse-drawn carriages, and carry their only belongings, attracted by the preferential policies introduced by the US government to attract immigrants to develop the western region, and travel thousands of miles to this wild land.

The wealthy businessmen and capitalists did not look down on these desolate lands at this time, and in contrast, they preferred the central and eastern regions, which were developing rapidly with the progress of the industrial revolution, where gold was everywhere, and as long as they had enough money, even if they could make a lot of money by investing it in the stock market or opening factories, these desolate lands were not attractive to them at all.

However, it is not that no one is interested in the future development of these areas and came here to invest in advance, but the desolate and backward environment here is completely like the wilderness and still drives away the vast majority of people, after all, not every rich person can live in this harsh environment, there are no hospitals, no shops, no bars, except for the vast land and the harsh environment, there is nothing here.

Accustomed to the comfort and convenience of life in the bustling city, it is difficult for them to adapt to the primitive and hard life here, and in the end there are very few speculators left, and even those who stay are not sure how long they will be able to hold on to before leaving.

These speculators who came to the west with the poor people were actually small businessmen with limited funds and little development in the big cities, and in the west they were just employing some poor peasants who had come to the west and building small farms.

People with real strength are comfortable sitting in their offices, directing their subordinates to take care of their own industries, who would go to such a wild place to find guilt.

Chen Mo can be regarded as a really powerful big capitalist, but he did not sit in his office and direct the team's work, but personally led the team to the northwest.

However, compared with those poor people or speculators who drove dilapidated carriages and dragged their families, Chen Mo's arrival was completely different.

Hundreds of fierce Indian warriors on horseback, muskets on their backs, and roaring gallops, escorted a long convoy full of supplies toward the vast land.

Vast wilderness, natural stone arches, huge canyons, charming ravines, rushing waterfalls, dark green Colorado water, rough and desolate red earth, weathered into strange rock cliffs.

The carriage drove on the vast land in the west, the scenery changed along the way, magnificent, beautiful, desolate, occasionally in the distance swept the vigorous figure of the cowboy riding the horse, the sound of Dada's hooves and the yellow dust raised by the cattle running in this desolate vast land, as if in an American blockbuster, a strong western flavor came to the face.

Smelling the smell of fresh cow dung wafting in the wind, Chen Mo did not see any change on his face, and faintly withdrew his gaze to look out of the car window, but secretly quietly slowed down the rate of breathing.

This cowboy is really not good, it seems that it is necessary to improve their treatment appropriately.

Chen Mo, who has abundant funds, has bought huge pieces of land along the way, and built huge pastures with no end in sight.

Chen Mo's generosity shocked the poor people who came to open up the western wilderness, and then, when Chen Mo offered very generous conditions to recruit cowboys, countless people rushed to sign up.

Compared with his own hard work and grazing in this wilderness, but he could only get a barely subsistence harvest, Chen Mo, a wealthy rancher, offered a much more attractive treatment.

But the strange thing is that all the people who sign up have to go through the personal interview of the rich man, and only after passing can they officially join his ranch and become his employees.

said that he was interviewing in person, but in fact, Chen Mo only sat on one side of the interview site, and several people who were specifically responsible for the interview interviewed the candidates.

The whole interview time is actually not long, everyone only has a few minutes, and the interview process is also very simple, just ask a few questions casually, but less than half of the people can pass in the end.

Chen Mo still has certain requirements for the character and loyalty of his subordinates, especially the initial group of people, although these cowboys do not need to be as loyal as his private business team, but not everyone can join in, and the questions he asks seem simple, but whether he lies or not Chen Mo can accurately distinguish them, lies have no effect on Chen Mo, he can directly torture people's hearts through these simple questions, and know the truest thoughts in their hearts.

Of course, these are only the initial core members who have been screened by Chen Mo personally, the area of these pastures is very vast, and now it is just the beginning, with the construction of the ranch, the increase in the number of cattle, sheep and horses, more people will continue to be recruited to join in the future, the number of these people will be in tens of thousands, this is not something that Chen Mo can explore, but after the development of the ranch is more prosperous and huge, everything will be on the right track, and Chen Mo will not need every employee to be loyal. It is enough to ensure the character and loyalty of the most core personnel in this part.

As Chen Mo's route went all the way to the west, a lot of money was scattered, and Chen Mo also established a series of huge super-large ranches in this still wild land, becoming the largest landowner and rancher in the west and even in the United States.

Indians, whites, blacks, all became his employees.

After this series of major actions was completed, the time also entered April 1846, and it was not long before the outbreak of the Mexican-American War.

At this time, although the United States acquired a large area of land in the west by purchasing land from Britain, France, and other European colonial powers, its land area was far from reaching the scale of later generations.

California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming were all part of the future Southwestern United States.

Since Mexico's independence from the Spanish colonizers in 1821, the country's political forces have been at loggerheads, with coups and rebellions occurring and political turmoil for a long time.

From 1821 to the present day, everything in Mexico has been in disarray.

In more than 20 years, there have been more than 40 governments, almost all of which were the product of military coups.
