Chapter 188: The Unemployed Black Fox

"Heavy penalties for tax avoiders to set an example. ”

Writing this line and thinking about it, Allen Fu added another sentence: "Increase tax supervision, and take compulsory measures if necessary." ”

After that, there was nothing more for him to call the shots, just a simple glance at the other matters above, and Alan handed the document back.

"How's the newspaper doing?"

He looked up at Rowan, who was standing at his desk.

Dressed in a gray robe, with a delicate face and a slightly thin figure, compared with the beginning, Luo Wen's temperament is now much more capable, and his every move has gradually appeared the breath of a superior.

He replied, "The equipment ordered from Reef City has been shipped from the Free Commonwealth, the printing plant is almost complete, and the equipment is being installed; ”

"It's been very fast. "Alan is happy with that.

A lot of things happened during this time, but in fact, it was less than two months before the end of the starry light, and he ordered the construction of the paper mill and the printing plant after the end of the starry light, and now it is basically the same, I have to say that this speed is very fast.

Regarding Allen's affirmation, Rowan said humbly: "It's just a simple renovation and repair, there are so many abandoned houses on the reef, you don't need to build it yourself." ”

He is almost telling the truth, but it will certainly not be so simple during the period, although it is not difficult to select a site to supervise the work, contact the merchant to buy equipment, reach an agreement, etc., these things are not very difficult, but they are also extremely tedious and time-consuming.

Usually Rowan always seems very well-behaved in front of Allen, and he is not arrogant, although this seems to be a bit raw, but in fact, his character is a really smart person.

I can't be sure of the psychological changes of the lord I serve, maybe one moment he was full of joy and wanted to share it with his subordinates, but the next moment he might be suddenly distracted by something, and he became unpleasant to everyone...

It's not impossible for this kind of thing to happen, the lord of the stars from another perspective belongs to a group of earth emperors, and for the people around the "emperor", it is an obvious truth that he becomes a monarch like a tiger.

Rowan couldn't control his lord's emotions, but he could control himself, and it never hurt to be humble, no matter what.

Of course, it is just humility in general, and for Rowan, there is nothing to fault about the decisions made by Allen under normal circumstances, and there are few unreasonableness.

But if it is unreasonable, Rowan will not listen without opinion, but put forward his own opinion - he is a loyal minister, but not a courtier, and he will not deliberately flatter his master.

"The contact with Mr. Dom is still deadlocked, and he insists on bargaining with you, and refuses to let go. ”

Hearing this, Alan pursed his lips disdainfully.

"I guess the story of my falling out with old Tylen has spread all over the reef, so he's taking advantage of the fire. ”

The dwarf merchants in Reef City are very stingy, they belong to the kind of people who have to fight for every penny, but if there is any other choice, Alan will not want to cooperate with him;

For him, the only city he has lived in for more than ten years is the reef nearby, which is very familiar, and he is scattered, basically he has only heard of the name but has never been there, and the person who can cooperate with him is naturally even less clear.

Moreover, the road between the bay and the reef is not too dangerous, and the cost of transmitting letters between them is smaller, and if it were to be changed elsewhere, it is very likely that Alan has not found a reliable candidate, and has lost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Pay for one's whistle.

That's why he tried his best to focus on this one object.

But despite this, Alan doesn't feel that he can let a treacherous dwarf take care of it, if it is soft, he can actually come hard.

"I thought old Taryn was squeezing me, and I couldn't do anything about him? ridiculous...."

Alan said ill-intentionedly, "Write to him and say that if you bargain again, I will inform the Axe Gang to smash his shop all over the reef." ”

"Are you sure you can still direct that gangster?, haven't you already sold the Axe Gang to Lord Earl....." Rowan asked hesitantly.

He followed Eren when he was on the reef, so he knows a lot about the Axe Gang, an underground gang that is not well-known, because it was created by Allen, and in the same way, there are also the rat ears that spy on intelligence, the Five Fingers Council that manages the entire reef underground world, the Incisor Club, which takes "punishing rape and eliminating evil" as its mission, and the Seagull Newspaper that publishes newspapers and sells news by the way.

In the reef, Rowan is the main person in charge of the Seagull Newspaper and a close person around Allen, so he knows almost all of the organizations involved in Allen, but he also knows that when Allen decided to leave the reef, these organizations have basically been "sold" to others.

The Axe Gang and the Five Fingers Council were sold to his father, the Mouse Ears and Seagulls were sold to the Black Fox, and the Incisor Club was sold to an outsider from the club, a mysterious middle-aged man.

Because he knew the inside story, Luo Wen asked - it's no longer his own thing, can he continue to use it?

In this regard, Alan laughed, and he said with a smile: "Then I will sell you to other lords tomorrow, will you honestly treat the new lord as the master?"

"No, I'm just going to turn around and leave. Rowan replied, then nodded in relief, looking at Allen's gaze rather speechless.

"So you just let the Axe Gang change their name, and you easily swindled a large sum of money from Lord Earl?"

"I can't say that I lie, old Tyron is not so stupid, I know what I think, in fact, if it is a stranger, the Axe Gang will definitely have a big blood change after changing hands, but..."

Speaking of this, Allen's expression was a little complicated, and he shook his head, not wanting to continue.

"Did the Black Fox's people send any information recently?"

He asked, digressing the subject.

Because he didn't really want to be entangled in these worldly worlds, Allen's contact with the black fox became Rowan's agent, and his main mind now was mainly to cultivate spells and collect energy clusters, and other things, including this bay city, were just a tool for his own convenience, and an immature tool.

What he needs is to use tools, not to be at the mercy of them. That's why he is so casual about the distribution of rights in the Gulf.

It's good to have this, but if he doesn't, what can he lose?

The newspaper has other related things, and it does not decide life and death because he is a lord or not.

That's why he will be a hands-off shopkeeper without any scruples.

Regarding Allen's question, Rowan thought about it carefully and replied: "There is basically no important news, since the emergence of the Bay Neighborhood Committee, they have made few achievements. ”

Allen didn't care much about the bay, but some of the innovations he came up with, such as the bounty hunter and the neighborhood committee, were simply effective in the management of the city.

For example, the neighborhood committee, with just a small amount of money and a false name, can envelop a large number of citizens in the city, and willingly run forward and backward for their lords, and every family will take the initiative to report to the municipal government whenever there is any trouble, and that positive appearance is very inexplicable every time Rowan sees it.

Are they really too idle to take this as a business?

Luo Wen's psychological situation of citizens to improve their social value Luo Wen couldn't understand, but this did not affect his admiration for the neighborhood committee, such as the unemployment of the black fox, which made him laugh every time he thought about it.

"Sister Julian always came to me to complain, saying that she originally came to the bay to vigorously develop their business in the bay with your support, but who would have thought that the business is getting more and more sluggish now..."
