Chapter 163: I want to make a name in history
Chapter 163 wants to leave a name in history
Overnight, Barkley and his gang were captured and annihilated in Manhattan
The next day, Barkley and the others, the most ailmented, were hanged at the gates of the inner city, and the others, who had committed lesser crimes, were taken to the lumberyard to work as coolies.
The Song Empire's 'fight against the underworld and eliminate evil' fiercely shocked a group of guys and made them dispel the idea of mixing in the underworld in Manhattan.
Anyway, there are a lot of jobs here in Manhattan, and you can make money doing anything. There is no way to break the laws of Manhattan and reap the benefits at the expense of zìyóu.
And Barkley's body, still hanging at the city gate and swaying with the howling wind, has become a role model.
Next, the city of Manhattan began to organize its business planning, and the commercial street and business district, as well as *** and casinos, are far away from residential areas.
For a time, the security of Manhattan became clear.
Because these areas are close to the port on the east side and are even connected to the harbour's market, this makes the port even more lively.
People who live in the city of Manhattan spend their free time wandering around the harbor, which makes the neighborhood quiet.
Zhao Hongyu is very satisfied with this change.
In the vicinity of the port, Zhao Hongyu also planned a vacant land for the future establishment of embassies of various countries.
Yes, there are already many countries that want to establish diplomatic relations with the Song Empire, and want to establish embassies in the empty capital of the Song Empire.
But the problem is that the powerful Song Empire was fooled out by Zhao Hongyu. 30 million people or something, these are all nonsense he said.
He's going to get 30 million people, and a city with millions of people.
Therefore, for these requests of various countries, Zhao Hongyu did not agree, but adopted the word "drag".
However, it is not a matter that this matter has been dragging on, and he will have to solve it sooner or later.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu thought about it, and finally decided to reject those countries that wanted to establish diplomatic relations on the grounds that the empire did not establish diplomatic relations. At the same time, in his capacity as Lord of Manhattan and as the Imperial Crown Prince and Prince of the East, he personally established trade agreements with various countries and agreed to establish a point of contact in Manhattan.
Strictly speaking, the point of contact established in Manhattan can actually be regarded as an embassy.
It's just this kind of institution, what they need to face and contact is Zhao Hongyu.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu frightened them that no one in the empire was willing to establish diplomatic relations with the outside world except himself. The Empire's top brass wanted to be closed off, so he advised countries not to send personnel deep into the heart of the Americas, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, scare is scare, and he also knows that just scaring can't scare these people. So he instructed Song Hu to form a patrol team in the Manhattan area, but any team that found the Europeans entering the hinterland would be intercepted, and even if necessary, it would be okay to kill those people.
In this era, it doesn't matter if a few people die, in order to keep their secrets, and sometimes kill if they don't let themselves fool out, which is also a means needed.
Over the next month, the inner and outer cities of Manhattan finally quieted down. After the shops and casinos were moved to the vicinity of the port, business not only did not decline, but business improved a lot.
And the merchant ships docked at the port wharf, those Europeans who came to do trade, originally liked this tune. As a result, they have become the main source of these incomes.
The casinos on the island of Manhattan and the regulated operation of *** have opened the eyes of these Europeans.
After a short period of training, the warblers are no longer what they used to be.
This makes Europeans feel so fresh that they are even willing to shell out more silver coins to enjoy this service.
In residential areas, in addition to a few small rì supply shops, and small bars. The commercial shops that hide dirt and dirt and affect public security have been brought to the vicinity of the port, which virtually also makes the security in the residential area no longer as chaotic as before.
As long as the focus of public security is placed near the port, you can be completely assured.
Looking at the data reported by Wang Shan again, Zhao Hongyu nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, as I guessed, this sorting not only did not reduce tax revenues, but doubled."
After looking at the amount of taxes this month, Zhao Hongyu said with a smile to Wang Shan.
Hearing this, Wang Shan smiled and responded: "It's not strange at all, first of all, there are three casinos." This avoids the vicious competition and reduces the dispersion of passenger flow. Loan sharks and other gangsters should not be allowed to do it by our intelligence department. At the same time, the concentration of commerce has also allowed more people to go to those areas, and everyone has a blind obedience. There are so many people, so lively, but whenever you go once, you always have to buy something, so the business of the shop is better than before, which is normal. ”
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Your intelligence department has established an underworld organization?" ”
Wang Shan nodded and said, "Yes, it has already been formed." It's called 'Underworld Arbitration Institute', and it's a pretty domineering name. ”
Hearing this name, Zhao Hongyu was very undeniable.
It's just a name, and he doesn't want to say anything, anyway, it's up to Wang Shan to play.
"Your Highness, in the future, most of the economic income of our intelligence department will depend on this organization. And this is also a great benefit for the collection of intelligence. ”
Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu was clear about this, but he still said to Wang Shan: "Wang Shan, you must control this organization." You must know that this organization is a double-edged sword, and if you use it well, it will be beneficial, but if you don't use it well, it will be in great trouble. ”
Wang Shan nodded seriously and responded.
Then, Zhao Hongyu continued: "Although this organization is an agency under the Ministry of Intelligence, you should be careful not to use drastic means when lending money or collecting protection money, and try not to kill people. ”
Zhao Hongyu believes that although this organization is named a gangster, it is ultimately subordinate to the intelligence department. In other words, strictly speaking, this is a subordinate institution of zhèngfǔ.
Therefore, this gang cannot do the same thing as a real gangster, doing those things that kill people and set fires to obtain improper benefits.
Wang Shan nodded and said, "This point is His Highness Zhilu Dao, and it is in my planning. The function of this underworld arbitration office, in addition to collecting intelligence, can also use their name to solve foreign intelligence personnel, that is, an existence with a black cauldron. ”
Well, that's a good idea.
Regarding Wang Shan's proposal, Zhao Hongyu was really moved.
Yes, in the future, there will inevitably be spies from other countries stationed in Manhattan, and if some of their secrets or information don't want to be spread by the other party, then they must be killed.
And after killing these people, there needs to be an excuse.
Even if it's a natural disaster** or something.
But it's not as good as a gangster organization to carry the black pot.
Yes, when something goes wrong, all you have to do is condemn the gangsters in Manhattan.
Moreover, the gangsters can let off the beaten track and say that those spies have financial disputes with them or something, which is completely convincing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan: "Well, your plan is very good, I think it's a bit interesting." You can go along this line, and it would be nice if you could break into the continent. ”
Transnational Ancient Underworld?
Wang Shan pondered for a moment, and thought to himself that it was not impossible.
You must know that in this era, the predecessor of the brotherhood has already appeared.
Therefore, it is not impossible for arbitration firms from the Americas to land in Europe.
"Okay, I'll try it as much as I can. Anyway, no matter what kind of organization it is, as long as it has money, it can develop, and we are the least lacking in money. ”
Wang Shan agreed.
"Wang Shan, you can prepare for this time. I'm going to take a trip to the Great Lakes region and look for a place to build a city there. The military and economy of Manhattan City have been on the right track, and now Zhao Hongyu is completely idle.
If he had peace of mind to this extent, then he could now live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
However, it is obvious that this kind of rìzi and this level of development is not what Zhao Hongyu wants.
Since God gave him such an opportunity, and gave him such a cheat artifact, then he, Zhao Hongyu, must stir up the storm in this era.
Perhaps, it would be nice to leave a name in history.
It was under such thoughts that Zhao Hongyu didn't want to continue to stay like this after resting for more than two months.
"Your Highness, isn't it a little inappropriate to go to the Great Lakes region this season?"
Hearing this, Wang Shan raised a small question.
Yes, it's winter season. It's a bit inappropriate to go to the Great Lakes region in such cold weather.
Besides, even if you go to the Great Lakes region now, you can't start building anything in such cold weather. Because in such a season, the ground is very hard and frozen.
"It takes at least seven days to get from us to the Great Lakes, and we have to find a suitable place to build the city, which is time-consuming." , Zhao Hongyu sat there, leaning sideways and thinking while expressing his opinion to Wang Shan.
"When I find the right place, I won't start building right away. Instead, they used the space-time trader to cultivate a group of genetic people, buy some yurts for them to settle down in that area, and occupy that place first. Zhao Hongyu's eyes kept flashing with glitter.
"Wang Shan, don't forget, in this era, only the territory you occupy is yours. What I'm going to do is to occupy the Great Lakes region first, lest the French take advantage of it. (To be continued.)
