In the early morning of the next day, the four little girls did not get up early as usual because they had drunk alcohol last night.

Johnny played with each other late when the four little girls slept together, and he didn't think much about it.

The four little girls knew that they were about to eat lunch before they got up groggily.

The four of them were surprised to find that they had woken up in Amy's bed, Amy was the first to turn over and get out of bed, and the sheet "rope" under the bed was also in place, and last night's experience seemed to be a dream.

The four little girls didn't dare to take the initiative to reveal what happened to them sneaking out last night.

All the European aristocrats and capitalists except the Smith family also disembarked.

After all, in this era, only the Yankees in the Great Lakes region have factory owners and capitalists, and these nobles who have not succeeded in selling their glory on the ship can only hope for the "blind date trading exchange" after docking.

There was no more "blind date meeting" on the ship to attract the attention of the four little girls, but because there were no outsiders other than these sailors and boatmen who had long been familiar with the Smith family, the range of activities of the four little girls had also expanded a little.

In the first few days, the four little girls were still terrified, for fear that someone would tell Johnny about their cheating behavior.

A few days later, when he found that no one had told Johnny's cousin about his behavior of sneaking to the prom, he relaxed and went on a reckless ride.

At this time, the four little girls discovered that there were hundreds of Irish living at the bottom of the cabin, and from the captain at the top to the sailors at the bottom, they were basically mixed races with more than half Irish blood alive.

Less than a decade after the Great Famine in Ireland, these people were all witnesses of the Great Famine in Ireland.

Of course, the four little girls prefer to listen to the stories of the sailors' invented adventures at sea rather than the tragic history of the famine, especially the fictional horror of the sea monsters.

Happy times are always short-lived, the paddle steamer is soon about to enter the port of Houston, and the four little girls are about to meet their devilish life.

"Woo~"

The deafening sound of the paddle steamer's whistle finally brought an end to its mission from North Germany to Houston.

"Brother Frederick!" X4

"Don't call me Frederick anymore, remember to call me Tom."

"Okay, Brother Tom." X4

The four little girls saw Tom, who they hadn't seen for more than a year, and ran off the ship excitedly, and the four of them were warmly embraced by Tom.

After the hug, Tom took a few papers from the Irish captain, and then took the Smith family back to the Smith farm in the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Sitting in the carriage, Tom pointed out the general extent of Smith's Farm to the four little girls in the carriage, and the vast farm stunned the four little girls.

Even the vineyard farms that used to work in Bavaria were not one-tenth the size of Smith Farms.

"Brother, can you grow grapes on such a big farm?"

"The four of us can't grow so many vineyards, and we'll be exhausted."

"It's like, you bad brother, it's like we're tired to death."

"Hahaha, don't worry, you four don't have to plant grapes anymore."

Tom touched the distressing, calloused and scarred hands of the four little girls, and smiled and promised them that they would never have to plant again.

"Don't grow grapes anymore?"

"So what are we going to do?"

"You guys, you have to learn every day."

"Learning knowledge? Isn't that something that only the aristocracy can do? ”

"Brother Tom, are you a nobleman?"

Tom didn't answer the four naughty little girls again this time, he just kept smiling.

The carriage stopped in the only building on Smith Farm, and this time, the building was once again expanded.

After handing over the four little girls to Diane, who was a year or two older than them, Tom took the papers that had just been handed over to him by the Irish captain and entered his office--bedroom.

"Are there already fifty thousand Irish?"

Tom looked at the papers in his hand and realized that before he knew it, 150,000 Irishmen had left their homes and arrived in Houston to become the builders of the Smith engineering team and the first workers in the Smith factory area.

Tom pulled out several other documents about the population and the number of employees.

"African-Americans—80,000, Native Texans—20,000, Yankees—40,000 recruited by affirmative essays—......"

Before you know it, Tom's Smith factory districts across Texas have gathered 200,000 employees.

This number of employees is even larger than the pre-Texas population.

Tom began to process the half-meter-thick documents by himself, and the documents that Tom had to deal with every day became thicker and thicker, which also represented the vigorous development of the Smith factory area.

"Knock knock!"

"Enter."

John Mueller pushed open the thick wooden door and sat down across from Tom with a little anger, Tom did not look up, and continued to look down at a long list of reports about the number of employees skyrocketing and the products that were not selling.

Just looking at the data in these documents, it seems that Tom's million-dollar assets can only last for another half a year at most, and after half a year, Tom will go bankrupt and penniless.

Tom signed his name on the payment slips of several suppliers, as if he was not worried about the urgent need for unsalable products and rapid loss of funds.

"Why did you come to me in such a hurry, have you been to the Smith factory area?"

"I've seen it, why are there so many employees who are about the same age as our sister."

"What? You said our sister went in as an employee? ”

"I say! Why are there employees who are about the same age as our sister! And so much more! ”

"What? Did my sister really unclog the chimney pipe? Let's go, you hurry up and pull it back, didn't I tell them to go to class with Diane? ”

John looked at Tom with a dead face, and completely denied the tens of thousands of small employees in the Smith factory area, and the look of the skinny look and the fact that he had been using the sister of the two as a shield made John angry.

"John, you don't know, the current Smith factory area doesn't need mechanics at all, it's all pure manual work."

"Only the position of a technician requires labor with a complete education, and most of the jobs in the Smith factory area still only need labor, and half of the employees also have a lot of suitable jobs."

"For example, a special type of work to dredge chimneys or something."

"Isn't it good to let them get employed early, experience the labor of their parents, and understand the hardships of their parents in raising them, so that they can be filial to their parents?"

"If you have to give them a good life, that's fine."

"In the past, all employees in special jobs did not receive any salary every day, only a few pieces of bread"

"Thanks to your Hongfu, their daily sawdust bread in the future will be changed to confetti bread."

"It just so happens that the Smith factory area is almost expanded, and there is no need for wood, and imported wood chips are quite expensive."

Tom's face was full of heartache and he proposed his own employee treatment improvement plan, and from Tom's expression, it seemed that replacing sawdust bread with confetti would make Tom Smith bankrupt tomorrow.

"Heh, Tom, you've really changed, and you weren't like that when you were in Bavaria."

Tom's actions, the angry John laughed instead, but John also understood what Tom meant, no matter what he does, his sister can get an education, and it would be good if she didn't eat sawdust and confetti bread.
