In order to adapt to the colonial system, the Privy Council made a number of targeted changes to the laws of the Empire. At a time when the empire was only a maritime state, there was no need to distinguish between "settlements" and "villages and towns". The provinces and cities of the Empire, as well as the overseas colonies, were administered by the Empire's direct administrative officers.

But such a system was completely incapable of meeting the needs of the Age of Discovery.

After the birth of the fourth colonial duke, the administrative resources of the empire had been almost completely emptied. Whether it's the top school in Olin or other low-level administrative colleges...... Only the most core professors and lecturers are still stuck to their posts.

Anyone who was able to leave, from teachers to freshly enrolled students, was sent to various planets to serve as administrators. But the gap was still staggering—in some of the newly established colonial cities, there were only three administrators sent from Olin. With the exception of the most critical tax, colonial, and policing tasks, the rest of the work was largely left unchecked.

In order to maximize the functioning of the colony, and to preserve the existing administrative training and education system of the Empire, the Privy Council passed a bill with unprecedented efficiency.

Settlements are taxed at a fixed rate, and only one administrator is required to pay taxes to the Colonial Office each year. Colonial territory is unregulated and is left to the discretion of the inhabitants of the settlements. There is no sheriff, only the heraldic administration office that appears in the settlement with the post office to ensure the process of enforcing the bottom line and the principle of principle.

Settlements with more than 300 inhabitants can be upgraded to towns, and as an incentive, after being upgraded to towns, the administrators of the settlements will be directly integrated into the bureaucracy and continue to manage the original towns.

But this system ...... Failed in Bosenk.

From the very beginning of the development, the pioneers of Bosenke did not think of building it into a town, in which case a tax collector would have to settle in and collect taxes from the rich sea.

One hundred and twenty-two years ago, the Olin Fisheries Federation purchased a large area of sea and land from the then Duke of Saarland. And in this area, we have successfully discovered the unique species of Niusar, and how to catch them.

The Bosenke Fishing Company, set up by the Fisheries Federation, taught this "trick" to the poor people they recruited. These poor people, who had used all their possessions as travel money to bring their families to Bosenke, became their bait, their labourers, their fishermen.

A beautiful little city is rapidly taking shape, and the poor people who nourish the sea with blood have never become rich.

A live clump of fish that was alive and undamaged on the surface of its body was worth only a penny in the mouth of the Bosenke Fishing Company. Here, a pound of coal costs 65 of the finest balls — twelve pounds of the Empire's delicacies, which are worth only a pound of coal in Bosenk.

It's not that no one else wants to do business in Bosenk, but the rules of the Bosenke Fishing Company are the "law" in the settlement. The law stipulates that in order to do business in Bosenk, a fishing company must be licensed. Under these conditions, no one can sell their goods here – no one who can afford to be provoked by a fishing company can afford to make a profit from selling goods to the poor.

Still, compared to other places, Bosenk's poor people are still living well. As long as you are willing to bleed, you will have a bite to eat. As long as you are willing to work, you will be paid. The most important thing is that even in winter, the weather here is not so cold that it will freeze people to death.

When you get to Bosenk, you can live a good life! This became the best advertisement to recruit poor people to Bosenk. A few decades ago, there were also free flights from places such as Upper Albin to transport the poor to Bosenk. Right now...... Tickets to Bosenck can cost as much as fifteen shillings each.

The more expensive the ticket, the more convinced the poor that Bosenke is a place where they can live a good life.

Bosenke is like a transit point for countless poor people. They came to this bay with hope, with the dream of "becoming a human being", and then lost their health in bloodletting after bloodletting.

There are only two things in Bosenk's stores that are sold at affordable or even low prices – tobacco and spirits. These two commodities are not only inexpensive, but also in abundant supply at Bosenk. It is impossible for the poor, caught up in cheap tobacco and liquor, to leave Bosenk.

There are only two endings left for them - to spend their lives in a natural village far from Bosenk, or to die by the sea in a drunken state.

It may be that you fell into the water and drowned, or you may be bitten to death by a group of fish, or you may just disappear silently and on the beach.

And in order to ensure that Bosenke will always be a settlement and not a town, the Bosenke Fishing Company is constantly driving the poor people from the settlement. At first, they lived around the fishing companies, but as the number of spontaneous settlements grew, the fishing companies scattered and drove them to other places.

Even at the expense of force.

The fishing company in Bosenke has become the true king of the mountain. They are used to living a lawless life, and the thought of "killing people with a knife" is already a rare "gentle method".

This "fishing company" has been a monster from the very beginning. And one hundred and twenty-two years, after devouring countless lives and grabbing huge profits, it has become a puddle of monsters that exude a fishy smell of pus all over its body, using "good life" as bait, and mercilessly devouring human lives.

Bosenke Fisheries was the first and only organization that Dussander had encountered in the world that had truly implemented the "virtues of capitalism".

For the sake of the gold pound, this company can do almost anything. What's even more incredible is that they not only do it, but they do it very easily and without psychological pressure.

"Anyway, if you're leaving Bosenke tomorrow, you'd better be safe." After "sharing" the good things that the Bosenke Fishing Company had done, Joni and Dussander reminded them in a friendly way, "The things the fishing company does are really hateful, and there are a lot of gangs around Bosenke." You have the escort of the naval commandos, and under normal circumstances the bandits would not dare to do anything to you...... But it's always a good idea to be careful. ”

Dusson's face instantly turned ugly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Just to be careful." "This is just a reminder from a colleague that Director Paulson can kill people with a knife in order to maintain the economic monopoly of the fishing company...... Do you think they will deliberately reveal your whereabouts and then arrange for armed bandits to attack you on the way? ”

"For the sake of money, they were able to continue the organized eviction and even murder of the poor for a period of one hundred and twenty-two years. Control them with cheap tobacco and liquor, and repeatedly squeeze these poor ......people by monopolizing the foreign sales of the fish and the sale of goods to the poor," Jonny sighed, "Their methods are very inferior, but ...... None of them are beyond our reach. ”

When Joni says "we", it is obvious that she is referring to the heraldic management office. Although the behavior of the fishing company made even the red-clad postman feel sick to his stomach, they really did not touch the last bottom line.

They still maintained absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

"I've already contacted the tax office in Newsal." Rubbing her head, Joni said, "They believe that the fishing company's actions, while disgusting, are not illegal. The tax office cannot intervene if the other party has not violated the laws of the empire. ”

"And...... The law of settlements was still enforced in the land, not the prevailing imperial law. Dussaint gritted his teeth and nodded, "No wonder...... No wonder they've been so scaling! ”

"From the beginning of its existence, every pore of it dripped with blood and filth......"
