On January 1, 1682, I had a rare day off on the construction site.

As the bosses of the workers, the Goshkin and his son also bought a large amount of food, wine, and tobacco from the Rodriguez family, the main water supplier, tobacco, and added meals to the workers under the company. After working so long, he really needed a sumptuous meal to boost morale so that he could work better in the future.

"Now our path in the land of Ross has opened up again. The men of various counties are very kind to our company's people, so we have saved more people from the sea of ​​suffering of Ross." A middle-aged man in a decent clothes sat in a flatbed carriage, holding an apple from Patagonia in his left hand, and waving it with his right hand to strengthen his voice. He only heard him say: "In the middle of Ross, there are complaints everywhere, saying that our lives are not easy, the harvest is small, and the taxes are heavy, which makes people breathless. Compared with us, the lives of the people in Perm Province are better, bread, honey, fish, and life there is life. So I recruited some people who were desperate about life, and then decided to go to Perm to see what the life of the rich peasants is like.

What a good thing. But you guess I saw and heard? Yes, the same complaints as in the central region, the people there complained to me, saying that our life here is really bad. In Tobolsk, there are rich forests and vast unallocated lands that have not been occupied by the men. Their lives are so much better than us, and we can't continue to live. Well, I stayed here and hired some poor wanderers (there are huge wanderers in Russia who do not want to be serfs, which is an important source of Cossacks) to work for me, and stuff money to the men to tell them not to report them. Then I sent my close assistant to Tobolsk to see how the farmers in the legendary best-living area live, but you guess what my assistant told me after he came back?"

"Another group of poor people who were deceived, haha." Some labor workers from Ross burst into laughter. Many of them have been on the East Coast for several years, and have been busy until today. They are not far from trading their pains for formal identity. They feel that their future is very bright, so they all have a strong sense of superiority to their compatriots who are still stranded in the old land of Ross.

"Yes, my assistant told me that the winter in Tobolsk is so cold that no crops can grow, and that life is really sad when facing the attack of the Gazan (Galdan) cavalry. So my dear assistant Evgeni had to buy some furs and pay for travel expenses, and nothing else was gained. What's more ridiculous is that the residents of Tobolsk swore that the farmers in Kuznetsk were living very well. Come on, Evgeni no longer believed them, and he laughed at it, saying that the mothers there wished that their children had never been born, because they didn't want these little pitiful people to be born and suffered, and he - from the Kuznetsk province." The middle-aged man said more excitedly, and when he said the climax, he simply jumped out of the cart and looked at the surroundings.

The Ross laborers who were feasting beside the iron pot said, "Actually, all provinces in Russia are fucking like birds, with serfs and wanderers with hard life everywhere, while the men and some so-called well-educated gentlemen are still saying that there are no proletarians here, everyone is enjoying their happiness, rye bread is no one cares about, no poor people wearing bark shoes, all calves and children are very strong. It is simply fucking nonsense. These well-educated people use whips to whip farmers, miners, lumberjacks, and wanderers, giving them very little food, and they have to work in single clothes in winter. May I ask, how can you believe such a humble person who wants to humiliate farmers in personality? Can His Majesty the Tsar hear the voices of the people in the Winter Palace?"

"So, don't eat any more fucking, listen to me. You have to find a way to send it back after you make money. Now three East Coast banks have been allowed to open branches in Arkhangelsco Harmony Nicholas, and you can send money to your relatives through these channels. Our company has been investing a lot of energy to help everyone do this for many years, so please try to notify every relative so that they can live a better life on the East Coast. Yes, even your life is better and more hopeful than in Russia, right? In addition, there is no need to worry about whether His Majesty the Tsar will pick it up.

What measures should be taken, don't worry, they have a good relationship with the East Coast now. No matter whether you go out from the White Sea or leave from the Don River, there are not many people interested in them. Those vampires, as long as they have enough money, they never do anything you do, and they would rather have fewer wanderers in their jurisdiction to avoid being caught by the nobles and accusing him of hiding the escaped serfs." The middle-aged man finally said the key point, and it still seems that traditional propaganda incitement, allowing these laborers to mobilize their relatives and friends to immigrate to the East Coast, and form a snowball effect, so that the labor force of Goshkin Construction Company will not be exhausted.

This is not a joke! According to the "Houseland Law" promulgated by the East Coast, after a person comes from Russia to the land on the East Coast, he will have a simple daily Chinese conversation after working for five years, and then he can apply to become a national of the East Coast. In other words, Goshkin can only squeeze them for five years at most, and these people can leave legally after the five-year contract expires. Few people are willing to stay and continue to work, and even if there are some leisurely jobs such as technology or management.

Therefore, in the long run, in order to maintain the competitiveness of Goshkin Construction Company, it will not decline significantly and continue to undertake enough construction projects (this is the basis for Goshkin Company to make money), the labor force cannot shrink, and it would be great if it can continue to expand, but it seems a little difficult now.

A few years ago, when relations between the East Coast and Russia were tense, Goshkin Construction Company was declared illegal in Russia. The men from all over the country were no longer willing to send homeless people and prisoners in their jurisdiction to them. At the same time, citizens also vigorously cracked down on serfs who were inclined to immigrate and even ordinary farmers. In short, Goshkin suffered enough.

During those difficult years, Goshkin Construction Company was once forced to find ways to recruit people from Poland, Ukraine and Caucasus. It even hired many outlaws to form a horse team in Western Ukraine controlled by the Ottomans, constantly plundering people and committing the crime of slave traders. In this way, it barely maintained the company's labor force and then maintained the scale of its business, which was very difficult.

Therefore, for construction companies (or labor import organizations) such as Goshkin, Battino, and Mendes, constantly introducing new people is always one of the most important tasks. Otherwise, once old employees become regular employees one after another, who will help them work? How can they undertake projects and make money? Therefore, it is very natural for middle-aged people to brag about the new life on the East Coast like a lotus flower in this middle-aged man, attacking Russia's difficult days, and let everyone try their best to bring their relatives and friends to the East Coast together, which is also very natural.

"A wonderful inspirational speech." In a brand new station platform not far away, Alvarez, the head of the Rodriguez family, said to Goshkin enviously: "Sometimes I really envy you, Mr. Goshkin. You squeezed into the upper class on the east coast through the career you founded, met many Hidalgo with great energy, and laid the foundation for the rise of yourself and the family's future three generations. This is an epic achievement and is very admirable."

"Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez." Goshkin sipped his wine and said with a smile: "Actually, things are not as good as you think. I am also quite worried recently. On the one hand, the project payments are being owed very much, which makes me bear huge financial costs every day. In addition, it is too difficult to find people now, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get new labor workers. Although Russia is big and I have made many friends, it is impossible for me to get a large population for a long time. Neither the noble nor the Tsar will allow me to do this. But you, Mr. Rodriguez,

Now Sicily, Naples are in the explosion and wars in the South Netherlands are frequent. You can try this industry because it is easier to recruit people. I really want to try it, and even I can second some managers to you. Now the Yanbu Railway is short of road construction workers. If you set up a labor company at this time, the East Coast government will definitely be very grateful to you, and will naturally give you shelter. Social status, nationality and financial conveniences will follow one after another. It is no better than if you struggle to maintain business in La Plata?"

When Goszkin said this, Alvarez was also a little moved. To be honest, it is no longer important to do business, nationality, religion, etc., especially when the East Coast is at its peak. Therefore, setting up a labor company on the East Coast to contribute to the construction of the Yanbu Railway may be a very good reputation. The upper level of the East Coast should easily accept the Rodriguez family as a member of them.

The only problem now is whether it will lose money when recruiting people to work on the construction site of the Salt-Brazil Railway? The Rodriguez family lived in La Plata for generations and was still very clear about many things that happened on this land. For example, he vaguely heard that the capital problem of this railway is very big. The investor Central Railway Company is not able to make ends meet and is about to go bankrupt. This railway is likely to be unsustainable. So is it really worth it to spend a lot of money to dive into it? You know, even Goszkin, a guy who used to say good things about the East Coast, mentioned that the Central Railway Company owed him a large amount of project funds, which had some impact on his business layout, so he was still a little hesitant.

Of course, Goshkin saw this, so he then smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, Mr. Rodriguez. To put it unpleasantly, the Salt-Brain Railway is very important on the East Coast today, because it is the foundation of digestion and annexation of the Pampa Plain, so no matter how difficult it is, the East Coast government will build this railway. This is a political task, unlike the others. Yet, they have owed me a lot of construction payments, and the longest payment has even been owed more than

It has been two years, but I never worry about their repayment ability, because the income of the East Coast government is extremely amazing. As long as they are willing and pay a little price, it is not a problem to build the Salt-Brail Railway. Of course, you may not believe it, but what I want to say is that the fiscal revenue of the East Coast government is far exceeding your country. Even if your country transports more than 10 million pesos of gold and silver bars from the Americas a year, and some taxes are imposed in China, it is very likely that it will not be able to catch up with the fiscal revenue of the East Coast people. This is a fact."

Goshkin continued his temptation. Now he was very consciously busy with the interests of the East Coast. For example, he would enthusiastically persuade the head of the Rodriguez family to find ways to pay for food and recruit people, form labor companies, and contribute to the construction of the Yanbu Railway. The construction of this railway is far less relaxed than Goshkin said just now. In fact, the construction has been intermittent since the start of construction, and the main reason is the shortage of manpower and funds.

There is no need to mention the problem of funds. The difficulties of the State Administration of Railways and China Railway Company are now well known, and there is no money! China Railway Company is now carrying a 2,000-kilometer-long iron (negative) road (investment) line (production) with a 2,000-kilometer-long iron (debt) road (investment) line (production) and how much money is left to build the Salt-Brain Railway. Therefore, this road is now closed down every year by relying on some funds squeezed out by China Railway Company and some subsidies issued by the central government. Moreover, many investors in the East Coast are not optimistic about the profitability of this railway. They cannot sell stocks and bond sales are also cold, which fully demonstrates the attitude of the industry.

Therefore, as a very conscious "New East Coast man", Goshkin is obliged to bring funds and manpower to this railway that runs through the eastern half of the Pampa Plain, especially those big merchants and big families with certain ability to advance funds. Before that, he had already explained that the Portuguese Almeida family, who had re-entered the East Coast market for many years, had officially decided to purchase a long-term bond of the Yanbu Railway of 50,000 yuan as a stepping stone to enter the East Coast market (or indulgences are more appropriate). Now, it is a good idea to pull the Rodriguez family into the pit. Anyway, it will not harm them in the long run, and I believe they will understand it in the future.
