How much the temptation of a million dollars is, if not living in the nineteenth century, I am afraid it is difficult to estimate accurately.

In the seven years from 1866 to 1872, the total bribery of the Central Pacific Railroad Company was $ 400,000, and this number will continue to rise in the future.

Central Pacific Railways used the money to bribe at least 14 members of Congress, including Abbott and Grant ’s personal secretary, Barkerbo. The money woven a tight protection network for Central Pacific Railways, which guaranteed Central Pacific Railways The company developed rapidly during this period.

To be sure, although Able also participated in the division, he certainly did not get as much as one million US dollars. After all, the total in seven years was only 400,000 US dollars.

In fact, the railway companies in this period still have some face. Their bribes are not directly made in cash, but they seduce members of Congress to buy the shares of railway companies. Often, members spend a hundred dollars to buy stocks, and the annual dividend It can cost hundreds of dollars.

Of course, only members of Congress are eligible to buy this kind of stock, and everyone else doesn't have to think about it.

Relatively speaking, Li Mu's "simple and rude" is more like Ebble.

Holding a check from Li Mu, Ebble was proud of lying in Elizabeth's arms: "It looks like we're going to stay in Boston for a few more days-"

It really takes a few more days. The one million dollars Li Mu gave was also "black money."

"I can't see it, this is actually a rich man--" Elizabeth looked at Li Mu with another look, her eyes fluttered and flickered.

Li Mu smiled politely, and slightly thanked him, but did not mean to be humble or arrogant.

"If you know the history of this guy, you will be even more surprised—" Aibo stood up and did not explain Li Mu's legend much, giving Li Mu a warm hug: "Let's go my friend, I will go to Spring with you Field, I'd like to see who dares to pit my friend Abel Corbin. "

bingo!

On the train back to Springfield, Li Mu and Ebble explained in detail what happened during this time and did not conceal the existence of Amos Ackerman.

"Amos-haha, this guy is not afraid. This guy has no ideals but no ability. He has a good appetite but no good teeth to complement it. Last year in Washington, this guy wanted to operate on the railway company. But this guy also didn't want to think about it. The construction of the railway was a decision of the federal government. The federal government was racking its brains to encourage private investment in railways. How could it be that the policy of the country was changed because of a report from this guy? Moss, there is a strong taste of contempt in words.

That's right, for the federal government, it is most important to build the railway linking the east and west as soon as possible, and everything else can be sidelined.

On the other hand, Mobilier Credit Co., Ltd. does have problems with its accounts, but Mobilier Credit Co., Ltd. deceives the money of those investors, not the money of the federal government. The federal government's investment is railway land and The land promised by the federal government, no matter who is building the railway, the federal government will take it out, so for the federal government, as long as the total length of the railway is increasing, the federal government will not lose money, and will not pursue those details .

It's those investors who lost money, as well as Wall Street's stock players. All this has not been disclosed yet, so the situation looks good. But if one day all the truth is revealed, the stock market will certainly be turbulent, which will then trigger a certain degree of economic crisis.

This is the origin of the economic crisis of 1873.

In 1873, this year--

Thinking of this, Li Mu shivered subconsciously.

In Able ’s eyes, Li Mu ’s fear is obviously different. For one million US dollars, Eble is still comforting Li Mu: “Relax, no one can threaten you now, I can guarantee that, Amy Sri Lanka will make up for all the money deducted from you, and then increase the budget. What you have to do is to ensure that the construction of the Kuobin Reservoir starts as scheduled and that everyone can see the results. "

This is the reason why the Grant government is extremely corrupt, but it has not yet capsized. Although the federal government has been rotten from top to bottom, the state construction has not stopped because of this. For example, Mobile Bills Credit has problems with its accounts. However, the railway has been extending into the distance; for example, the William M. Tweed Group in New York, although ugly, but the municipal construction in New York has never stopped. The money has been spent a little bit, but the results can be seen.

"I don't worry about engineering now. You know, the Springfield government promised to give me the Kuobin Reservoir. I certainly want to make the Kuobin Reservoir a paradise on earth, but you also know that there is not much in Springfield. Lazy people, so workers are a big problem. What I urgently need now is workers, a large number of workers— "Li Mu has dug a pit, and waits for Able to jump inside.

Workers, this is indeed a big problem, and at this time in the United States, as long as it is related to industry, everyone recognizes the fact that Chinese talents are the best workers—

"It's a problem for others, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for you. You're of Chinese descent—" Ebble didn't jump in a hurry.

"So what do you know about Prince Alcohol?" Li Mu looked a little frustrated. After getting the denied answer, Li Mu explained the background of Prince Alcohol to Eble: "You see, I offended a Qing Empire Prince, I do n’t think I have the opportunity to return to the Qing Empire in my life. As long as I land ashore in the Qing Empire, I will soon be sent to the gallows, so I also know that the Qing Empire has a lot of labor, but this has nothing to do with me- "

"Sent you to the gallows? Don't be funny, you are an American now. The federal government will guarantee your interests and protect your personal safety. If the Qing Empire dares to attack you, it is tantamount to provoking the two countries. War. "Abel was confident, but also didn't look at the Qing Empire.

"It ’s better. Let ’s do a business together, set up a shipping company, and move labor from the Qing Empire to this place. This will not only solve my domestic helper problem, but also work with other companies to make a lot of money. This is good. Business can make money much faster than lottery. "Li Mu started directly, trying to push Ebble down.

The main cost of traveling from the Qing Empire to the United States was on the transpacific ferry ticket. If Li Mu paid for it, Ebble was responsible for running the program and really setting up a shipping company, then this business was really profitable.
