After the manager gave a brief lecture, he began to assign tasks.

As for Viscount Outlets, apart from appearing at the welcome banquet, it disappeared from everyone's sight, making many people who wanted to hold their thighs sad.

Yamani was not disappointed in this. The gap between status and status was too big and he did not have the talent of a great deal, so no matter how flattered he could, it would be useless.

The most important thing is that Yamani doesn’t flatter, and naturally he doesn’t want others to flatter.

Not to mention the noble lord, even the managers in charge of dispatching work were surrounded by a large group of people, wishing they could always follow the saddle.

Facts have proved that flattery requires talent, and not everyone can do it. If you blindly get it close, you may not get it, but you will get it on the horse's hoof.

From the final result, you will know that some unlucky guy was playing half-baked Authentic language and got close to it. As a result, the wrong wording made the manager furious and almost kicked out.

There is no way. The people of Shinra may not be very artistic, but they have one advantage, that is, "rigorous".

The lords were all from the army, and when managing their territory, they inevitably brought in some military styles.

Unlike ordinary lords with professions, all the workers are paid by lords, so Yamani directly enjoyed semi-militarized treatment.

In addition to the lack of military training, the management model directly draws on the military model. In simple terms, it is to let you do whatever you do, don’t ask about other things, and don’t worry about them.

Under the scolding of the manager, Yamani started a day's work. There was nothing imbalanced. It was inevitable that he would be scolded at work, especially if he was scolded, he would feel even less.

I don’t know if it’s because of my good luck or bad luck, but the group where Yamani is located was assigned to the road construction army.

This means that from now on, they will spend a long time in the future.

"Poisonous insects and beasts" recalled the promotion of domestic media, and an unknown premonition arose from Yamani's heart.

But looking at the guards with live ammunition, everyone decisively swallowed the words of rejection. Theories are impossible to do so, and everyone is a good young man who loves to work.

In fact, Yamani was completely overthinking. This is the African continent. Without the protection of the army, it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive in the wild.

Perhaps in coastal areas, lions, elephants, crocodiles and other beasts have all disappeared; but in inland areas, these beasts that are about to become protected animals are still the overlords of the jungle.

Because of the vast land and sparse population, even if the noble lords fully utilized their hunting talent, they could not avoid the fish that missed the net.

On the African continent, labor is very precious. You will feel distressed if you die an Outlet Viscount, after all, laborers also need to pay pensions.

When they arrived at the construction site, everyone was stunned.

Is this still the "wild continent" I remember?

A row of construction machinery appeared in front of everyone. Yamani only knew the excavator, and the other machinery felt familiar and a little unfamiliar.

No matter how shocked you are, you still have to do your job. Compared with the European continent, Africa's economy is indeed very backward. However, backward economy does not mean that productivity must be lagging behind.

In essence, it is still a matter of money. As long as you have money in your pocket, you can also buy something in Europe here, but it is just that it is so "a little bit" expensive.

Yamani is now sure, and recruitment publicity is not all a scam. At least one thing is certain, that is, there is really no need to work overtime.

There is no large lighting equipment in the entire construction site, and even if you want to work overtime at night, it is impossible to do it.

"Fish at sunrise and rest at sunset."

The routine that follows the laws of nature completely has been difficult for ordinary people to enjoy since humans entered the industrial age.

In a sense, Yamani and others were lucky. If the territory did not produce coal and there were no coal mines within a radius of hundreds of miles, the cost of power generation remained high, otherwise they would have dreamed if they didn’t work overtime!

...

The workers' thoughts, Viscount Outlet didn't care, and he was worried about the railway problem at the moment.

Due to geographical location, the Viscount Outlet perfectly missed the government-planned artery.

It is impossible to say that if you manage your own territory and the central government does not even collect taxes, it is naturally not obliged to solve the transportation problems for them.

Of course, this "no tax collection" is limited to direct taxes within the territory, and the central government still needs to collect taxes during the commodity trading flow process.

Theoretically, as long as you achieve self-sufficiency and do not buy goods from the outside world or sell products to the outside world, you can truly not pay taxes.

In fact, it naturally does not exist. If you really don’t trade with the outside world, you will have to return to the primitive society.

Rights and obligations are equal. The central government does not collect taxes directly from the territory, and it also exempts the obligation to invest in the territory's administrative management and infrastructure.

When planning the main railway line, you will naturally do whatever you want. In fact, even if you are lucky, you will be able to enjoy the success of the main line passing through the territory when you encounter the main line.

Everyone knows that the main railway line of Africa is a loss-making business. For strategic needs, Vienna must build the main line, but it does not mean that it has to maintain many trains.

In order to reduce operating costs and reduce the number of trains on the line for losses, it is a basic operation. If there is a railway without a train, it is better not to have one, so as to avoid being worried.

In the end, these expenses will be jointly borne by the central government and local lords. Therefore, the African Railway Company, which is responsible for building the African railway network, has been a joint venture between the lord and the central government from the beginning.

Including Viscount Outlets, they subscribed to the shares and reserved an interface for him in return for the main line, which could build a branch railway and dock with the main line.

Of course, this is not only the business of our own family, but also the lords around us have a share. "Whoever benefits, whoever pays for it" is natural.

In order to build a branch railway, Viscount Outlet and his colleagues around him also established a railway company.

If the main line is not profitable, you won’t even think about branch railways. Railway shares, which everyone is competing for in other places, have become hot potatoes here.

The more shares you get, the more money you need to pay in the future. As for profit, you can't even think about it.

It’s not that Viscount Outlet is self-deprecating, but the African continent has too few populations. Take its own territory as an example, with only more than 10,000 workers.

The dozens of nobles who were in partnership had the best territories and the population was no more than 50,000. The combined territory of our country was more than 50,000 square kilometers, and the population was less than 200,000.

Two hundred thousand people are divided into dozens of stations, which is a perfect inter-village railway. If you want to make money by railways, you will probably have to increase the population by at least thirty times.

That is almost half of the African continent's population. How long does it take for Shinra to achieve the achievements of more than 30 years of management of the African continent?

No matter how much the railway company loses, the railway must be repaired in order for its own products to be shipped out.

The key is the investment in building railways. No matter how high the later maintenance cost is, it is cheaper than using a horse-drawn carriage to transport materials. In the long run, it is still profitable overall.

In fact, everyone had no idea and threw the branch railway to the central government for management, and paid for it.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it requires others to cooperate. The Vienna government is also afraid of the goods that are destined to lose money.

Inter-village buses have to be compensated, but inter-village railways have to be compensated more. Although the population is small, the distance is not short at all.

If the railway network on the entire African continent is completed, the operating costs will be higher than the railway network on the entire European continent.

If you really take on the "intervillage railway" and the taxes received by the Vienna government from Africa every year may not be enough to pay.

Even so, it is still possible that efforts are not thankful. A series of problems such as "expensive fees", "fewer trains", and "late" can make the people scold the Vienna government for being suspicious of their lives.

From the standpoint of Vienna, controlling the main railway line controls the African railway network. As for the issue of branch railways, it is better to throw it to the nobles to deal with it themselves!

If you slow down, you will be slower. Sooner or later, you can do it. During the development of the Western Conference by Americans in the original time and space, the problem was even more serious than this. The infrastructure construction was also completed, and Shenra could not make it impossible.

The operating cost is high, and at most, you can send a few cars less. The nobles manage the railway company themselves and can collect a truckload of goods before departing. They are scientific and rigorous, and there is no need to worry about someone shirking the blame.

Deep in his heart, Viscount Outlet envied more than once the noble colleagues downstream. Although he was in the Niger River Basin, he could rely on river transportation to develop, but he could only build railways with great difficulty.

The river channel in the lower reaches is deep enough and wide enough to be navigable, and the upstream is tragic. These small rivers in Alterberg are not only turbulent, but also very unstable. In summer, floods are flooded and streams are left in winter.

There was no choice, the road was chosen by my father. Back then, when I discovered a small gold mine, I found a way to detach my relationship and set the fief at my current location.

As a result, the king of the beginning was the ending, but the gold mine did exist, but the reserves were very touching. After less than half a year of mining, it was declared cold.

Not to mention making money, even the cost was not recovered. It was once a sensation in the African aristocratic circle.

To apply the title in the newspaper, it is "a territory deep in the jungle". It took many years alone, and it was not until the end of the European War and the fiefs and nobles were flying all over the sky that Alterberg welcomed his current neighbors.

Of course, remoteness also has the benefits of being remote. After other people's ranks are promoted, their territory will be one piece in the east and one piece in the west.

If you want to get together, you must try every means to find someone to replace it. As long as the family disagrees in the middle, there will be no chance.

Viscount Outlets has no such worries. In the past, there were borderless lands around it, so just draw a piece of it.

Not only is the territory concentrated, but the area is also very large. If the Viscount's Corps can have half of the current area in economically developed coastal areas, it is God's blessing.

I'm afraid anyone can't figure out whether to suffer a loss or take advantage of it.

For many days, everyone has discussed the issue of share allocation. I thought the wireless telegraph of Viscount Outlet was injected with hormones, and it kept ringing.

This is a by-product of the war, which was a breakthrough in radio technology in the late European War and was able to communicate hundreds of kilometers away. The war ended just a few days after the army was equipped.

In order to strengthen control over the African continent and to avoid wasting resources, Franz distributed the excess radio stations as bounty to the meritorious ministers after the disarmament.

Perhaps because radio stations do not require traffic fees, this thing quickly became a tool for nobles to discuss, chat and brag.

After putting down the telegram in his hand, Viscount Outlet extinguished his intention to start building a railway immediately. Share distribution is only one aspect, and the key is the difficulty of financing now.

There was no way. After getting labor, there were so many people paying attention to the railway. They all went to apply for loans, and Royal Bank was also worried.

Unless the economic crisis is over and the financial circles of the Holy Roman Empire take action together, no one can raise funds for the construction of more than 100,000 kilometers of railways.

Even the start-up capital is an astronomical amount.

If there is no way to build a railway, it does not mean that it will stop. There is no need for an agreement. Everyone is doing the preparation work, and some people have even started construction.

After all, how to allocate railway companies' shares is mainly related to later operations, and at most, local series construction is done.

For specific railway construction, it is definitely the road from whose territory, and who is responsible for the construction, so don’t expect to get a advantage.

There is no need to worry about someone making trouble. If the Constitution has stipulated, all citizens must support infrastructure construction, and nobility lords are no exception.

When a dispute occurs, the Governor's Office will come forward to coordinate. The real problem that needs everyone to solve is still money.

After knocking on the table, Viscount Outlet ordered the government officials: "Don't stop road construction. The railway investment is too large and you will not raise enough funds in a short while. Then build the highway first.

With the current income of the territory and bank loans, it should be no big problem to support it for a year. When the economic crisis passes, the funding problem will be solved."
