v11 Chapter 47: 1 show blue eyes

Chuemon ordered the family to pick up the flag, and train them to work as ticket inspectors, flight attendants, etc., to ensure that they can be put into operation quickly after the whole line of the Tokaido Railway is completed.

The family members of Hamoto's family, they were all samurai warriors in the shogunate, and they didn't bother to be coal shovelers and unloaders. Be the one standing at the crossing to check tickets, and they can all shout five and six, and you still expect them to be willing to do hard labor.

nonexistent!

Therefore, after selecting 4,000 members of Hamoto's royal family, Chuemon ordered the railway company to recruit coolies quickly, and prepared to expand the coal yard to ensure the daily supply of coal for Edo Nihonbashi Terminal.

The coolies recruited, let's not do anything else, first to build a workshop for the shogunate to maintain and park the engine of the steam locomotive, as well as a coal storage yard. It's hard work, there are many people who want, and the treatment is not bad. At least they pay a little more than the average businessman who hires coolies, and they also take care of a lunch.

According to Chuemon's vision, we might as well recruit more people and relax the conditions. When the buildings of Nihonbashi Terminal are completed, the general situation of these people can basically be observed. What kind of people are honest and responsible, and what kind of people are diligent and willing to work, pay attention to each one, and use them as temporary workers in the railway society in the future.

As for those who steal and play tricks, make clever people, and try to do more with less, they are directly kicked and no longer hired. Although it is only a temporary worker, the shogunate is not the establishment of a shantang to raise lazy people. Although our wages may not be very high, at least it is better than farming at home, so naturally we can pick and choose people.

With a premeditated plan in his heart, Kan Tetsunosuke successfully found two local guarantors in Edo, wrote a letter of guarantee for himself, and then went to Nihonbashi to apply for hard labor.

The official of the Railway Society who was in charge of the recruitment saw that he was in his thirties, in good health, and his face was quite square.

Seki Tetsunosuke was secretly happy when he successfully joined the recruiting team, but he didn't show it on his face, he just pretended to be an ordinary Edo-town person. After happily receiving a wooden pass for entering and leaving the station, he was arranged to level the land and dig a fire ditch.

He had the will to show himself in front of the officials of the railway club to make sure he was retained, and finally got in touch with the train schedule, Guan Tizhi ​​nosuke, and worked very hard.

Not only is it not difficult to complain at all, but when others are in difficulty, they help others to work. Someone asked him, if you take a break and drink a bowl of cold water, the shogunate official who oversees the work will not scold you, what are you doing so desperately.

In the summer, the sun will kill people, and it is not impossible to even directly peel people. Working so hard, no matter how you look at it, you look like a big fool.

After working for more than ten days in a row, Guan Tiezhisuke has always been very hard-working. Naturally, the shogunate officials who were overseeing the work on the construction site noticed him.

The official assigned by Chuemon to the construction site is Junzao Gosei nosuke who was admitted to the shogunate's imperial family in the previous shogunate exam (the second rank, the first-class Ruibao chapter, the baron, April 2nd, 8th year of Bunzheng). Sixteenth (June 12, 1825)—Meiji forty-three years (1910) December 2). This person was born in a peasant country in the Meinong country, with a Miao character and a saber. Unfortunately, he is the third child in the family and has no family business to inherit. Fortunately, the shogunate selected the royal family in the previous examination, and this was the only way out for himself.

The sons and daughters of the wealthy farmers and merchants in the world, plus the second and third children of the samurai family, can't count for less than one million. If you can come to the exam, you are already very motivated. Those who passed the test were not only self-motivated, but also quite knowledgeable.

After being transferred by Chuemon to study at Edo University, he transferred to the railway company as an intern. As everyone knows, the predecessor of Edo University was only the Edo-mae English Preparatory School, which was a place to teach English to foreign students who were secretly selected by Chuemon.

Now it has gradually expanded into a comprehensive university with multiple disciplines and departments such as the Department of Chemical Physics, the Department of Medicine, and the Department of Foreign Languages. Among them, the top students will be sent to study in the UK and France by official funds, and the lower-class students will fill the bureaucratic team of the shogunate after graduation, and hold those practical positions.

Xiang Chunzao was not selected for the official Fei Sheng quota, but after all, the quota was only a dozen or so, it did not mean that if they were not selected, it would be impossible.

Because he was not selected as the official Fei Sheng, if Xiang Chunzao wanted to stand out, he would naturally have to work harder and be loyal to the public. Do something and be appreciated.

It just so happened that the railway club he worked for was different from the Industrial Society and the Yusen Club. The railway club was not wholly owned by the shogunate, but was half owned by the shogunate and the British. Therefore, although the so-called general manager of the railway society was dispatched by the shogunate, the chief engineer and the chief dispatcher of the actual operation and management were all British.

The British invested in the construction of railways in the shogunate, in addition to expanding their influence and power in Japan, and increasing their understanding of Japanese geography. As investors, the British capitalists also have to make profits. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

As a capitalist, do you take out your money to build a railway for the shogunate, and then watch the railway keep running at a loss? Of course not.

So in the railway society

, it's useless for you to beat the horse, the bird doesn't care, the British people don't eat this kind of thing. Or can you bribe them with sterling?

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the railway club and the rapid profitability, the British side used the staff selected by the shogunate according to the amount, and selected the best. At least it is for the railway club to make gains and make the railway club prosper.

Based on this, Go Junzo, who had been working in the railway club for a while, knew that this time he was individually assigned to carry out the expansion work of Nihonbashi Terminal, which was his opportunity.

Not only did he want to finish the construction quickly and well, but he had better gather a group of capable men for himself. In the railway society, the capable ones will go up and the inferior ones will go down, all based on their ability to speak. As long as his abilities are shown, promotions and appointments will be a matter of course.

Based on this, it is really necessary to dig out a few brothers who are honest and can do things solidly!

It just so happened that Kan Tetsunosuke was very good, working hard, and looking at the name at the same time, he looked like a ronin from a town. If it's just a coolie, there are a lot of construction sites. There are not a few hard-working coolies, but there are not many coolies who are hard-working and literate.

If Guan Tiezhisuke is really a reader and literate, he doesn't need any advanced education level. As long as he has the rank of a primary school student and can record and copy while he is, he is a good subordinate!

Xiang Junzao, who had a plan in his heart, waved to Guan Tetsunosuke, who was sweating like rain on the construction site.
