【... At best, the implementation of the law is piecemeal, and only occasionally some authorities take it seriously.

In March, Emory, a successful lawyer, became a Prohibition enforcement officer in New York.

He came up with a new strategy that for a while scared both the drinkers and the people who sold it.

Buckner pioneered a policy of seizure of sites that violated the Walstede Act.

The law allowed him to close the premises for one year without appealing to the courts.

Previously, sheriffs were only able to arrest a few innocuous waiters and bartenders for their unlucky bastards.

But now, Emory's approach hits the bar owner's profit line enough to make them feel a pain in the flesh.

He announced the closure of thousands of speakeasies in New York and started with the most famous and eye-catching places, such as Ricardo Moody's club in Little Italy.

It was a direct attack on the city's mature drinkers, who reacted in a panic.

Fortunately for the club, the crisis is only temporary.

Prohibition brought too much profit to make it too easy to crush.

At least a number of clubs have used lockdowns as a cover to keep the front door locked and welcome patrons back through the humble back door.

Other clubs have moved to new locations and changed their names, even though everyone knows that the owner behind them is the beautiful proprietress behind them.

A legendary figure is the 38-year-old Glinan from Waco, with blonde hair and sparkling teeth when she laughs.

She has a penchant for insulting her customers, especially when they don't want to spend a lot of money, which makes her a favorite among customers.

Her mantra is – hello, idiot.

Most of her clubs are small and compact, with scantily clad dancers and most of them staggeringly young.

Jinan is not only the owner, but also acts as the master of ceremonies in the club.

She cares for her girls, but doesn't take their talents too seriously.

"Now this little girl is not a singer," she said, "she learned to sing through correspondence courses, and she missed a lot of lessons, but she was the cutest little girl in the whole show, so I wanted you to give her a warm slap." ”

Since the club may close at any time, it is natural to be willing to spend the least amount of money on the interior decoration of the store.

Customers don't seem to mind that, as long as they can drink a good drink.

For more open places like hotels, which need to be operated for a long time, the scope of the site is much smaller.

Before Prohibition, some bars were making $4,000 a day, and it wasn't easy to find alternatives.

Without the income of the bar, the owner can only declare bankruptcy and become a jobless vagrant, adding a burden to this society.

Some hotels want to survive by offering so-called "additives", such as ice cubes, sodas, etc., buy a glass of ice cubes, and customers can add their own wine, but this is difficult to fill the gap caused by the complete loss of the alcohol business.

A tavern restaurant was seized for 6 months.

This meant that the restaurant not only lost all of its alcohol revenue, but also lost its lunch and dinner business.

It can't even serve breakfast to its guests, so many customers switch to it altogether.

Emory's seizure policy continued to spread across the country, including a redwood tree in California that was locked after someone found illegal distilled spirits, even though it sounded like a publicity stunt.

In short, at present, the prohibition agencies in all parts of the country have seized nearly 4,700 establishments suspected of selling alcohol.

Interestingly, Emory himself did not subscribe to Prohibition, admitting that he only enforced the law because the law was the law, not out of any moral convictions. He even confessed that he drank a lot, but stopped drinking after becoming a Prohibition Commissioner.

In his opinion, the whole thing was a terrible mistake, he said himself - it brought about vicious crimes, perjury, murder, assault, theft that corrupted the morality of officials, and induced all sorts of illegal acts. The benefits of this law are nothing compared to the litany of serious crimes it triggers every day.

Almost everyone realizes that Prohibition is a huge failure, but it's ridiculous that those who pushed for the executive order are still holding on.

In fact, it was precisely because Prohibition did not work that Wheeler and his supporters insisted that poison be added to industrial alcohol.

There are also other denaturants, such as soapy water and detergents, that can also make alcohol indrinkable, but die-hard prohibition supporters are not happy about this.

Wheeler sincerely believed that those who drank toxic alcohol deserved it.

In his opinion, it was their "deliberate suicide"...]

As soon as the first issue of the news was published, all the drinkers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York applauded.

Reprint! Reprint! Reprint!

The first 30,000 copies were sold out, 20,000 copies of the free edition were sold out, 40,000 copies were reprinted and distributed, and only 20,000 copies were reprinted for the second time, taking into account the timeliness, this time there was a certain degree of stagnation, but in the end it was still sold out.

In other words, the first issue of the Atlantic Daily achieved a circulation of 110,000, which is a gratifying result!

Excluding 20,000 copies of the free special issue, the remaining 90,000 copies were sold for 50 cents.

In other words, these 90,000 newspapers brought 45,000 dollars in revenue to the newspaper, which is really gratifying to achieve such results on the first day.

This is a daily magazine, if it can be maintained, it will be at least 1.2 million in revenue a month, you must know that there is no official investment yet, accept advertisers to settle in.

"Boss, that's all the data for the first day, it's very good."

"Congratulations, thank you for your hard work, all today's income and profits after deducting costs will be distributed as bonuses, how to arrange for you and Barbara to do it yourself."

"Huh? Isn't that okay? ”

"What's bad, a new beginning, you have to give everyone some new atmosphere, money can bring hope to everyone, so it's decided, and it's not much money to say that the average score is not much." Li Yaoyang made a direct decision.

"Well, I'll thank the boss on behalf of everyone."

"Hehe, has the topic for the second issue come out?"

"Come out, continue the in-depth coverage of this topic, and we have won the hearts and minds of all the drinkers, who are far more people than those who support prohibition!"

Li Yaoyang nodded:

"That's right, this time the market positioning is very accurate, since we have captured the readership, we must tie it up, tie it firmly!"

"Yes, boss, rest assured, my side has made a plan for 5 consecutive periods."

"Well, also, you have to be safe so that you don't get attacked by the mob."

"Yes, I'll tell the big guys, the thugs shouldn't dare to enter Atlantic City, right?"

"It's hard to say, in short, it's best to have a mental preparation."

"Got it!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
