Bulgarian Empire

Ferdinand has been in a good mood recently. Before crossing the road, he envied the days of the charterer. Now he is the first development zone in Bulgaria, so he started with the price of cabbage.

Once the development zone develops in the future, the rent alone will be enough for him to squander, and the monopoly of water, electricity, gas, and property fees will be a lot of income every day.

On the other hand, Ferrantz was very busy. Maybe for some people, being busy is also a kind of happiness, which makes people have no time to experience pain; running around is a kind of happiness, which makes people feel life truly; exhaustion is a kind of enjoyment, which makes people have no time to be empty.

Luckily, Ferdinand had subordinates like Frantz, who never complained no matter how hard or tired he was.

"Recruiting people" has never been an easy job, which is related to the development of the company in the future.

Now Franz is not recruiting dozens or hundreds of people at a time, but more than 20,000 people at one time. In addition to ordinary workers, there are also some managers.

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

Even so, trivial things did not happen less often. Now that Franz finally knew the benefits of retired soldiers, he was sent directly as a security guard without training.

Before taking up the post, first come to a month of military training. This was Ferdinand's idea, mainly to foster collective consciousness and obedience.

Not only that, but like all Bulgarian workers, literacy education is required, and patriotic brainwashing is done by the way.

The textbook was adapted by Ferdinand based on the materials of later MLM organizations. Of course, it also mixed with a lot of personal work, which was full of loyalty and patriotism.

From the perspective of later generations, this is completely feudal cancer, and crazy personality cultism. However, at that time, in the relatively conservative Balkan region, this idea was still very marketable. Except for the occasional noise from young scholars, others were still very supportive.

If it is possible to find a solution to the problems of workers, then managers will be in trouble. Middle and high-level managers can also be withdrawn from other industries, but what about grassroots technical managers?

Thousands of grassroots managers, even if Franz tried every means, only half of them were solved.

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

In the age when automobile technology is not yet mature, short-distance transportation is still animal power plus manpower. Not to mention excavation and filling, there is no shadow of excavators, and there is no major breakthrough in internal combustion engine technology, so we can't make steam excavators!

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

Ferdinand's idea of ​​achieving results in a short period of time in the development zone went bankrupt at the very beginning.

Jackson is a farmer in a small village in Burgas State, Bulgaria. His family has several hundred acres of land, and his childhood is still to come. Since he was a child, he has been envious of the outside world, and when he grows up, he wants to go out several times.

However, Old Jack has always been very traditional and conservative. To leave little Jackson to inherit the family business, that is, to continue farming. But there are three brothers in Jackson's generation. Once the ancestral land is divided, everyone will become strapped for the future.

Hearing that Sliven New District was established and 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 longing for the outside world.

Old Jack blocked as always: "Jackson, the outside world is not as beautiful as you think, full of greed and greed, obediently and honestly stay at home for me to farm! We have adopted new agricultural technology this year, and our income has increased. , the days will slowly get better!"

Jackson had already made up his mind to go out, so he decided to 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 have three brothers now, and if we split up in the future, our current land will not be enough to support it. Three families!"

"For God's sake, let me go out! You don't want me and my two younger brothers to be able to support children after we get married in the future. Let's go bankrupt together!"

After listening to Jackson's words, Old Jack hesitated. He didn't know the truth, but his mind couldn't get past this hurdle. He simply remained silent, silently wishing Jackson a smooth journey in his heart.

In the rural areas of Bulgaria in the 19th century, many families became impoverished because of separation. So much so that some families do not dare to raise more children. Due to the lack of effective contraceptive measures, many children were abandoned in the church after birth, hoping to be adopted by well-meaning missionaries.

In fact, we all know that only a few people can really meet well-meaning people. When Ferdinand first came to the throne, he invested in the establishment of dozens of orphanages in Bulgaria, receiving thousands of orphans every year.

It can be seen from this that after the Industrial Revolution, the population growth of the Balkans was slower than that of Western Europe. The main reason was not only war but also poverty.

As soon as Jackson arrived in Sliven's new district, he heard someone shouting: "Jackson, you are here too, aren't you farming at home, old Jack agreed with you to come out?"

The person who came was his fellow countryman. Jackson asked in a puzzled way, "Weirui, why are you here too?? Didn't you run around in Sofia?"

"Don't mention it, the food factory I worked for went bankrupt, and the boss arrested me without paying the salary for the last three months. Fortunately, the job is easy to find now, and I have been doing odd jobs for more than half a year. Listen. Said that this recruitment is a big company, I think it should be more reliable, so come here and try your luck!" Wei Rui said with a depressed expression

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

Very looked at the sincere Jackson and said, "Okay, Jackson tell me about yourself! I don't believe that old Jack will let you out!"

Jackson shrugged and said, "Of course, but he won't let me out! I told him that if he didn't let me out, it would be very difficult for him to see his grandson in the future!"

After stopping Jackson's words, Very suddenly became low. His family was much more difficult than Jackson's. In addition to a married sister, he originally had three younger siblings. Later, there was really no way. All three younger siblings were sent away one after another, and now they are alive and dead. This is also the reason why he will come out early to seek a living, their family has actually gone bankrupt before.

Jackson realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Very, you know me and have always been open-mouthed!"
