Natalie's departure does keep Doolin's job busy, and he thinks about who should take Natalie's shift while dealing with work that he doesn't need to handle. He doesn't have much time to pay attention to things outside of Otis, but outside of Otis, something that has not affected ordinary people but has changed an industry is quietly breaking out - killing!

Killings are not a trivial matter in themselves, and the reason they can go unnoticed is that they are often out of sight, never reported and not circulated outside. Occasionally, one or two drunks would talk about it, and they would soon come to their senses and keep silent on the subject.

Fifteen liquor merchants who had received Dürin's full license had been trained by Stein Ein's to use distillation and purification to produce high-spirits, and at the same time they had begun to clean up the moonshine breweries around their sphere of influence, whether or not they used distillation and purification techniques, as long as they were unlicensed moonshine brewers.

In just one week, the entire moonshine industry was filled with a strong smell of blood, and a large number of workshops disappeared overnight, and some who were unwilling to give up their current business disappeared.

This is what Du Lin wants, he hopes that someone will replace him to rectify the entire industry, maintain the purity and institutionality of the industry, and the rules he set for these fifteen companies will also become the rules of the entire industry. An orderly industry is far more profitable than a disorderly one, and the risks are minimized.

This rule should not only play a role in the production of high-alcohol wines, but also gradually spread to the low-alcohol wines, and each region should have a workshop that can make high-strength wines, according to Dühring's "ideal plan", and of course these are its own people. There are also three workshops that can make low-alcohol wine, after all, the market is huge, and it is impossible for Dulin and the people he authorized to swallow it in one go, and the source of most of the regions is firmly controlled by means of cooperative acquisition, investment, and shareholding.

How to monopolize an industry?

If you can pinch the source, you can monopolize the industry.

It's like the George family's monopoly on "news events", just like the giants in Doolin's dream that have control over the resources and sources of the entire industry.

Now, they've done part of it, and they're continuing to do the part they didn't finish.

Of course, all wars cannot be one-sided, and during the Great Patriotic War, the Federation had already reached the city of Otis and was only two hundred kilometers away from destroying the core of the empire and declaring the end of an empire. Yet it was those few hours of travel that became a path of despair that could have been painful for the Federalists for centuries. The Imperial Army tore through the supply lines of the Federal Army in an almost suicidal attack, and in the face of the anger and despair of the imminent destruction of the country, the Imperial Army had gone mad.

They surrounded the main force of the federal army within a radius of about fifty kilometers around the city of Otis, held on so that they could not find any supplies, and finally forced the federal government to come to the negotiating table - the federal government was not worried about the lives of those soldiers, they were worried that if the soldiers died, the government would need to pay sky-high pensions, which might bring down the federal government's finances, so they compromised.

So the empire took back all the invaded lands, and the federation found face for itself - the right to tariff.

The same is true of the moonshine war, in the course of which the heads of authorized businesses, families, and workshops have been assassinated more than once, and two of them have been unaware of the fact that the choir children have sung to their heavenly sounds. This has also made the fight between each other even more intense, and has already made some people dissatisfied.

"He is a little nonsense, and this 'war' should be stopped immediately, such an honorable war can only discredit our faces. At a high-level meeting within the New Party, Bowers called on Dühring's name, and he glanced at Mags, who smiled at him, and this smile made Bowers's teeth itch, "According to statistics everywhere, more than 7,000 people have died in this industrial war so far." We are civilized people, gentlemen, and note this. ”

Bowers's expression was very serious, which was very much in line with the image of his party whip, as the whip of the ruling party still had a lot of power, not only to supervise the voting of the Reichstag, but also to interfere in some discipline within the party.

Although Du Lin said that the patent belongs to someone else, he has only been authorized by the patentee to be responsible for the patent, but who here is not an old fox who has been immersed in politics for a long time, how can he not know that the so-called patentee is just a firewall he has placed in front of him. In case something happens to this patent, he can push his responsibility away, and as for the licensing fees, they are all transferred to the account of the "authorizer", and he has nothing to do with it.

It is said that a 30-year-old brewery in Bato was destroyed by a licensed capitalist who planted explosives in the capitalist's factory, causing dozens of casualties. Although the caliber of external propaganda has been unified and handled in accordance with safety accidents, this is a bad sign.

When these people who were excluded from the industry by Doolin finally no longer choose to remain silent and choose to explode, many social problems will arise. Citizens will lose their sense of security, which will lead to a bad perception of the responsible local party and affect the image of the new party in the eyes of the imperial public.

As for whether Bowers used the idea of Wren to hit Maggs or Harry, only he knows.

After Bowers finished speaking, there was some noisy discussion in the chamber, and some people had long looked at Duhrin unpleasantly, and at the same time, the most interesting disgust with Dührin was not those politicians who were born in the aristocracy or businessmen, but those who were born in commoners. They are the ones who have the biggest opinion of Doolin, and they are also the group of people who resist Dorining the most.

The idea of this group of people is actually very simple, they have achieved their current status through their own efforts, and even sold their personality and dignity to have today's status, and they have experienced pain and suffering that many people cannot bear for the power in their hands, and finally they succeeded. They showed the world and the empire the great power of the imperial dream in them, and each of them was the elite of society, the best.

Among them, there are many high-achieving civilian students from the Imperial Royal Academy, but now, a guy who has not gone to school, and is also a smuggler, has actually gained the attention of Mags, who is richer, more powerful, and more promising than them, how can they accept all this?

If Durin is from a noble background, even if it is a declining nobleman, they will not say anything, this is the son of a farmer who stepped on a horse, and the guy who should be working in the field with his feet full of mud, is about to ride on their heads, if they can accept Durin, how can they be worthy of their bitterness and dedication for more than ten years or even decades?

So it was not the private idea of Bowers or any one person to make a stink, it was a common idea of a group of people who could represent a class.

The discussion continued for a while, and Maggs took a sip from his teacup before putting it down again. The sound of the base of the teacup touching the saucer silenced the entire conference hall. Maggs smiled and nodded at everyone, "I'll share my views on what Mr. Bowers just said. ”

He leaned back in his chair, and the pen in his hand was also placed on the edge of the table, "Let me ask you one thing first, does the behavior of these people have anything to do with Mr. Doolin?", he paused for a moment, as if he was afraid that everyone would not understand, and asked further: "Did Mr. Doolin instruct these companies and families to attack those illegal underground workshops?", he looked at everyone, in fact, everyone's understanding of this matter was limited to the dictation of Bowers, and the ghost knows if Doolin expressed his attitude and opinion in this.

They don't know the real situation, so naturally they can't talk nonsense, and in private they don't care if they say that Dührin is the only bad guy in the world, but in public political situations, any subjective position of the remarks must be thought about several times before they can be said. If you don't even know the real situation like this, it's impossible to tell your own opinions and guesses.

"As far as I know, this is a market clean-up campaign initiated by these people on their own, and I have reservations about Mr. Bowers's views here. He fiddled with the pen on the table, lowered his head, stared at the pen rolling at his fingertips, and continued: "Since the first prohibition was enacted, can any of you tell me how many moonshine workshops the empire has lost every year because of your administration, and how much the market for the transportation and sale of moonshine has shrunk?"

There was a faint disappointment in his tone, "You can't answer me, because under your management and supervision, the number of unlicensed breweries is multiplying every year, and the market for the transportation and sale of moonshine is so hot that even I know that there are several bars at the end of the Imperial Avenue that do not have liquor licenses." ”

"Is it because we don't have the right to supervise it?", Maggs shook his head, "No, we have updated a lot of legal details for the sake of Prohibition, but you can't get these people to stop their illegal behavior, but make them even more crazy about making high alcohol, who can tell me why?"
