The financial turmoil provoked by Tom this time will of course affect Tom's own HERO company.

Tom destroyed the economy of the Yankee area, making the Yankee area lose the ability to import HERO products, which was also a big loss for HERO.

Unlike the massive shutdown in the Yankey area.

Instead of going straight to layoffs and shutdowns, as in the Yankey area, Tom is feeding millions of unemployed workers at the minimum nutrition line.

Of course, it's not because Tom is merciful, but because Tom needs these millions of employees to live.

If there is a riot and casualties among employees because they cannot meet the most basic survival, Tom will die of heartache.

can have heartache to the point of insomnia every day, and the insomnia is so severe that he only sleeps for ten hours.

It will also hurt to the point of backache and leg pain, and press it for an extra hour every day.

I also have to work overtime until four hours a day, and use my work to numb myself.

Every employee who dies, if they do not die, but survives the economic crisis smoothly, they will become a labor force of HERO company.

HERO is different from the companies in the Yankey area, which must retain funds and wait for the economic crisis to survive in order to ensure their competitiveness in the Yankey area.

And HERO is the emperor of Texas, and there is no company in Texas or even Dixie and Mexico that can compete with HERO.

So every employee who dies in Texas is the loss of a labor force for the HERO company.

Employees are dead, dead and dead, a hundred,

But who is responsible for the loss of labor and property losses caused by the loss of labor due to the death of the hero company?

It's impossible to dig up the employees in the grave and take on this responsibility, right?

"Why are you starving?"

"This is Texas, and you can starve to death if you work hard?"

"I, HERO and the government of Texas, strongly condemn these employees who did not work hard and starved to death!!"

To sum up, it is the employees who die, and the only one who is really "injured" and really loses wealth is the HERO company, and only the only shareholder of the HERO company - Tom Smith.

Employees can't die irresponsibly, because their casual death is a ruthless "oppression" and "exploitation" of Tom!

But the current situation is that the economy in the United States is collapsing, and there are slight fluctuations in Europe, but the impact is not as great as that of the Yankee region in the United States.

What is in front of Tom is how to make the most of the productivity of his millions of employees.

There are two ways to do this:

First, to expand the sales channel of the European market, is to export.

Second, to expand the scale of the local market, that is, domestic demand.

The first method Tom has already begun to plan, first press the table, let's take a look at the second method,

Tom was a little unhappy with this method at first.

If you want to expand the local market, you must increase your local spending power.

Among them, increasing the consumption power of the population in the local consumption power is nothing more than two methods, one is to increase the population, and the other is to increase wages.

The population Tom has been pulling again, but no matter how much the population is pulled, it will not be able to fill such a large domestic demand in the short term.

If Tom raises the wages of his employees, so that the people have money in their hands, it is not impossible to increase the consumption power of the population.

It's impossible for someone earning fifteen dollars a month to spend a hundred dollars a month in this era without microloans, right?

Can Tom give his employees a raise? It's better to kill Tom Smith.

Tom came up with an alternative to increase the local market - to engage in infrastructure construction to boost domestic demand.

In Tom's eyes, infrastructure has many advantages:

"No matter how domestic demand and infrastructure is produced, it can be guaranteed to be useful, and the United States allows private control of infrastructure."

"These infrastructures will be my Tom's infrastructure in the future, and now that the economy is in crisis and export sales are weak, we should strengthen ourselves during this period."

"Anyway, I'm raising these unemployed employees for nothing, I find a job for them to do, consume and consume the energy of these people, and isn't it beautiful?"

"Working eighteen hours a day, I don't have the mood to think about things."

In this way, the Texas government led by Rocky Smith took the lead, and the HERO company was the "obedient" and began a huge infrastructure project.

——————

December 26, 1867, Christmas Day.

It's been almost ten days since Hero resumed full production, and today some of the workers in the factory were given a short vacation.

To be precise, it was the white employees from the Dixie area who were given a short vacation.

Eighteen hours of work on weekdays, under the "great mercy" of the hero company,

On Christmas Day, white employees only need to work fourteen hours.

Mr. Tom Smith, he really, spoiled the staff so much that they were so moved that they cried to death.

Not every employee has such treatment, and there is no Christmas holiday for Dichao employees.

On the U.S.-Mexico border in North America, countless Korean employees worked together shirtless on a not-so-cold, December day in the Americas.

They are all employees of the HERO Corporation - Hero Engineering.

Unlike Dixie workers who can work fewer hours to celebrate the holiday at Christmas,

The earthly pilgrims who have no faith and no soul to go to heaven are still working without regrets.

"Ahh

"Hey!"

"Boom!"

"Sample, grid~"

"Yikes!"

"Boom!"

“……”

In Texas and the Second Mexican Empire, Tom Knights, a large number of employees began the largest infrastructure construction project in human history.

At the shouts of a famous place to the employees, the road was constantly compacted, and the foundation of the four-lane road gradually took shape in the hands of the employees.

The road that was temporarily paved for the war has been damaged, and this time, the HERO company wants to repair the "Centennial Avenue".

Huge log stakes tied with ropes, like octopuses, were grabbed by the tentacles of the employees and "danced" up and down the construction site.

The employees of the land are looking forward to these dancing octopuses, and they can dance the future that the employees of the earth are looking forward to.

Not far from the carriage road, less than half a mile away, is where the railroad was built.

"Jingle Bell~"

The undulating sledgehammer smashed into the steel nails, nailing the rails to the sleepers.

The employees of Dichao, who had just crossed the world's largest ocean and came here from thousands of miles away, basically saw this kind of long "iron rod" for the first time, and did not understand why their foreman wanted to let himself smash these long things into the ground.

Some of the old Dichao employees from Texas are different, many of them are "transferred" from California's Union Pacific Railroad and Central Pacific Railroad, knowing that they are building railroads.

Although the employees of Lao Dichao themselves are repairing the railway, they are also curious about why the rails are so thick this time, and the distance between the two rails is so wide.
