Chapter 40: Labor issues

Since 1888, the five-year plan for Bulgaria was launched, and railways were the top priority. No matter in the era of the Stam government or the Ferdinand era, no matter how the domestic situation changed, it did not interfere with the normal construction of the railway.
In order to ensure the smooth completion of the railway plan and to save costs, the Stam period began to send criminals to the site as labor.
Mr. Stam's cabinet allowed the police to run rampant, initially to fight against competitors, later to raise funds, and it did not mean to find a batch of cheap labor.
With the unfolding of the vindication work, many false and injustice cases during the Stam period have been investigated and a large number of innocent people have been released. The railway project is now facing the difficulty of labor shortage.
Although Bulgaria is not widely described, it is a fact that people are scarce. Although a large number of peasants went bankrupt before, it has been almost digested due to the advancement of industrialization.
With some choices, few people are willing to build railways, even though railway workers are paid more.
But the railway project at the end of the 19th century was equivalent to the death project, and accidents at work could not be more normal. Even if someone is forced to make a living, they can't do it, and they have a chance to make a living.
Now Constantine is worried and there are not enough workers. Even if he has sent all the criminals to the job site, the staffing gap is still serious!
In the era when there was no machinery and it was carried on its shoulders, coolie was indispensable. In order to complete the project on time, the engineers gave an astonishing figure, at least 50,000 laborers.
When this number came up, Constantine was dumbfounded, which means that there is still a 40,000 labor gap.
Bulgaria now has more than 3 million people. It is hard to ascend the sky to gather so many railway workers. Since there is no way, you can only continue to report.
Chekov, who was on duty in the cabinet, ushered in an uninvited guest. Constantine came, and he brought the engineer with him.
Seeing Constantine and his party confused, Tchikov asked wonderingly, "Constantine, what's going on?"
Constantin did not get into the house, and went straight to the subject, saying, "Mr. Chekov, I came to you today mainly for railway issues."
Tchikov asked seriously: "What happened to the railway project?"
"No!" Constantine said affirmatively
Chekov let go of his heart and said, "God bless, just be fine!"
但是 "But worse than that!" Constantine's next sentence confused Chekov again.
"What is it?" Chekov asked
还是 "Let the engineer tell you!" Constantine said in distress
Chekov said depressed, "Well, whoever said the same!"
Chief Engineer Lauren Holman said with a stern expression: "Dear Mr. Chekov, now the railway project is going well, but we are in big trouble!"
After hearing this, Duchkov was even more puzzled. Now that everything is going well, what troubles can there be? Immediately asked: "What a big trouble?"
Lauren Holman responded rigidly: "We lack enough labor!"
Chekov's heart eased and asked, "How much is missing?"
Lauren Holman calmly said, "To ensure a smooth completion, at least 43,000 workers will be needed, and the project budget will increase by 50%!"
什么 "What? How is this possible? This is far from the original plan?" Chekov said incredulously
"Mr. Chekov, please believe in our professionalism! These are the results calculated by our technicians after the actual measurement!" Lauren Holman said cautiously
Duchkov was still unbelievable and asked in doubt: "Sorry, Mr. Lauren, I am not questioning your professionalism, but this gap is too big!"
"I can only say sorry for this. At that time, we had insufficient estimates of the transportation environment in Bulgaria. While we were building the railway, we had to invest a lot of manpower to build highways, and the construction of the Rila Mountains was more difficult. Imagine! "Explained Lauren Holman
After listening to Lauren's words, Chekov's face suddenly changed color. He knew that this was really a big trouble, a big trouble beyond the scope of the cabinet.
I saw Chekov say with a bitter smile: "God bless! Constantine, you really brought a big trouble!"
"Chekov, I don't want to!" Constantine said in distress
麻烦 This is too much trouble. Whether the five-year plan can be completed is also an important factor in whether the temporary cabinet can be normalized.
Duchkov thought about it and decided to report it to Ferdinand. He is no longer optimistic that the railway plan can be successfully completed. In the current situation in Bulgaria, it is not possible to gather so many workers in a short time anyway.
Ferdinand, who had just been idle, was enjoying the dance in the palace. Several beautiful girls are performing lively, and the clothes are designed by Ferdinand himself.
Clear and transparent, the waves are choppy on the top, and the long legs brushed on the bottom are tempting and beautiful. Ferdinand is not interested in a day's prostitution ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is just Ferdinand A dancer is about to go further. Suddenly Alice came in and said shyly, "His Grand Duke, Mr. Chekov and Mr. Constantine are here. To them they also brought three strangers!"
Ferdinand said with a little disappointment: "I see, I'll be right there!" After saying that Ferdinand let go of the woman in her arms, looked at the shy Alice, and suddenly smiled badly, scaring Alice in a hurry Just run.
The single dog career of the previous life was just decent after crossing Ferdinand, but was soon corroded by the life of nobles. Although it has not yet reached the level of promiscuity, at least the nobility's no-cover meeting, Ferdinand, who is afraid of the disease, has not participated, and of course the women around her have not been lacking.
I realized that there was still something to do, Ferdinand decided to let Alice go first, and strode towards the main hall.
I saw Chekov and others, and Ferdinand, who was upset, did not give them a chance to speak. Because Lauren Holman was originally invited by Ferdinand, so I met him once, so I knew what was happening as soon as I saw him. Ask directly: "You are all here, but what's wrong with the railway project?"
Seeing that Ferdinand was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to sell him, and immediately said, "God bless, the railway project is going well, but now we are short of labor!"
"Oh!" Ferdinand responded and waited. It is not uncommon to find railways lacking labor. It is not strange, but it is not normal for him to come to him for a small problem.
Chekov thought for a while, but still insisted: "According to the calculation of Lauren engineers, we now need at least 43,000 laborers to complete the project on schedule!"
After listening to this data, Ferdinand couldn't believe it and said, "What? You tease me! Do you need so much labor?"
