"We've been doing a good job since Carter, the city guard, came back, and we've installed our own people all but the walls they've been rigorously repairing. ”

At the Castle of Poch in Bay City, at the long table of the conference, bald Barry is reporting on his current work.

Barry was in charge of all the armed forces that Allen had brought from Reef City, about two hundred soldiers, except for the guards.

With the addition of twenty family guards and fifteen civil servants, not counting managers and servants, Alan brought a total of two hundred and thirty-five men from Reef City.

Now fifty of the two hundred and thirty-five are in charge of the security of the castle, twenty are in charge of guarding Allen, fifteen are in charge of the newspaper and the tax system, and the remaining one hundred and fifty are sent by Barry to the various security patrols in Bay City.

The two most important lines in Bay City at present are the city defense forces and the other is taxation.

However, the current state of the tax system is relatively complicated, and there are too few people in Allen to pay attention to it for the time being.

However, Allen has achieved initial integration into the city defense system. Since the last time he met with Carter, the city defense officer, his people have been much more honest and have not caused any obstacles for Allen.

And soon the annual fish-man invasion is coming, the city defense task is currently very serious, the walls of Bay City are in tatters and need to be repaired, and most of the armed forces of about 1,000 people here are busy repairing the city walls, and the security situation in the territory is not very manageable.

Therefore, during this period of time, the law and order situation has deteriorated significantly, and there have been several bad criminal incidents, and even Alan frowned when he heard it.

Not everyone will work hard for the crisis they will face in the near future, and there is a group of social scum who don't care about the future at all, they just want to be happy for a while.

Now that there are people brought by Allen to join in, although there are not too many, it can be regarded as alleviating the urgent need.

Therefore, for the arrival of Allen and his party, except for some people with various thoughts, most of the people are relatively welcome.

"The law and order work is not very easy, especially in the slums and commercial areas, the personnel in the commercial areas are too complicated, there are everyone, and there is a lot of mobility, and some criminals often choose to leave Bay City directly after committing crimes, and our people can't be caught at all. ”

"The slums are better, but not very manageable, and there are daily fights, usually not big enough to put them in jail, but fines don't work either. ”

Barry said helplessly touching his bald head.

"Why?" asked Rowan, who was sitting to Allen's left.

"Because they don't have any money. Barry replied sullenly, "Hell, I've never seen such a poor man who turned over their house without even a copper plate." ”

"What's even worse is that this kind of poor people are not one or two, and those who fight are basically this kind of people! God knows how they survived when they didn't have money to eat. ”

"Maybe they're very clever at hiding money. "Rowan is very rational and analytical.

Alan asked thoughtfully, "Is this group of people fixed?

Barry replied, "It's fixed, there are a lot of poor people in the slums, but there are only a few idle people." I haven't counted the number of people, but there must be at least a few dozen."

It's hard to catch, and there's no money to pay for fines. Alan thought for a moment and said to Barry, "You can recruit them into the security patrol." ”

"It can't be. Barry shook his head and said, "I've thought about it too, but most of those people have character problems, and they don't obey discipline, and they are very undisciplined, and they are not suitable for being absorbed at all. ”

"It's not a regular patrol. "You can develop them in, well, downline, without paying them and not having to take care of them," Allen said. ”

Alan started out as a preliminary idea, but the more he spoke, the smoother it became: "Then let them go to the slums, to the port, to the commercial districts, to the residential areas, wherever there are people, wherever they go." ”

"Usually I don't care about them at all, but as long as they report a crime, we'll give them a bounty!

Barry and Rowan were a little confused

"What if you lie? That group of people can do that. ”

Alan smiled slightly, but did not respond, and Rowan said casually: "You can send your own people to verify." ”

"Yes. Alan nodded, then stopped Barry, who wanted to stop talking, and said: "You are in charge of the security work, you can go back and think about this matter yourself, well, you can set a model in the early stage, so that the next situation will be easier to unfold." ”

"Okay. Barry's mind was a little confused, and he nodded subconsciously.

"There's no way to manage the situation in the business district at the moment, and we can only resolve this incident when we have full control of Bay City. ”

Alan said that he was a little regretful, although he is not a jealous and hateful character, but it is also his own territory, and it is not a good sign that a criminal escapes but cannot be caught.

If nothing else, the cost of crime is so cheap that it will definitely breed countless vicious incidents.

However, this kind of thing has existed for a long time, and it is basically the case in every town, and under the influence of environmental factors, it is very difficult to communicate between cities, and in this world, cross-border hunting costs are very costly, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Hopefully I'll change that in the future. Allen, who was sitting at the head of the long table, muttered in a low voice, his hand slightly rubbing the cup in his palm, and a wave of magic that ordinary people could not feel appeared, which did not attract the attention of others, but the cold coffee in the cup was already heated.

Raising his hand, he took a sip of the warm coffee with a hint of piping hot in the cup, and Alan sighed comfortably.

"How's the preparation for tomorrow's inauguration?"

He looked at Rowan.

————

"How's your preparation?"

In a room in a hotel in the port area, a fierce man with a scar in his left eye looks at another person in the room.

"There's nothing to prepare for, just give orders. ”

The man replied, and then said hesitantly, "It's just that we really want to do this?" he is the second young master of the Golden Family in Reef City, and we can't afford to mess with him." ”

The scar-eyed man grinned, "What? Are you scared?"

The man snorted: "I'm not afraid, but I feel unnecessary, I'm just a little bit of a holiday with him, and it can't get to this point." ”

"It's not your business, it's the Black Hand Boss's business!" the scar-eyed man said as he suddenly glared, "If you don't want to do this, you can talk to the Black Hand Boss." ”

"I—" The man tried to retort, but he clearly thought of something, and couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.

Seeing this, the scar-eyed man grinned: "Don't worry, you only need to make a small move, and the rest is completely ignored, no one can find you." ”

"But if something happens to him, the Golden Family will definitely investigate it thoroughly, there is no impermeable strength, if he really finds it, I can only wait for death. ”

"It's not going to come to this. The scar-eyed man patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "The boss of the black hand just wants to teach him a small lesson, and he is not prepared to do anything to him." And that old thing Tyron is busy with the stars right now, and as long as we don't make a big fuss, we won't attract the people of Reef City. ”

Speaking of this, the scar-eyed man sneered: "The boss of the black hand just wants to warn that kid that he took our money and actually arrested our people, there is no such good thing in the world!"
