Take the Empire To the Other World

Chapter 165: establish domination

"What? All the girls who served me last night died?"

On the morning of February 2, 1888 in the federal calendar, Wang Ziming, who had just appointed Angela as the new mayor of Leeds, suddenly received a report from his subordinates.

Last night, the two pure and beautiful girls who served him suddenly died suddenly!

When he left in the early morning, he was fine. The two of them didn't even take a step out of the door of the room, so why did they die?

The French line of infantry had blocked the scene, and the two died in the well-guarded Prince Ming's mansion (the original villa in the city of Lies, the city of the rich and powerful). It is impossible to kill silently!

What's more, if a senior professional really comes, it should be Wang Ziming who is not far from the villa, not two irrelevant girls!

All the evidence shows that the two girls were not murdered, but their terrified expressions before death and their blood-sucked corpses remind everyone that it is impossible for the two girls to commit suicide...

However, Wang Ziming stopped investigating the matter after hearing that the professionals recruited in the city of Lys speculated that it was probably a ghost attack.

"Ah, what a sin..."

Wang Ziming looked at the mummified corpses of the two girls who had already been buried, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Fortunately, Wang Ziming is a reasonable person. He didn't tear up the previous agreement with Angela because of the deaths of these two girls, and he didn't ask Angela to replenish himself with fresh pure maids...

Wang Ziming already had some guesses in his heart, and he didn't want to keep 'Tu Mei' for his own reasons.

The most important thing is that Wang Ziming is worried that this is a warning from the female ghost Xiaoqian. If the female ghost is provoked for some indescribable reason, Wang Ziming's amulet is likely to become a deadly thing!

Although the female ghost Xiaoqian didn't show any hostility from beginning to end, Wang Ziming didn't want to pin his life on unfounded conjectures, and he didn't want to frantically test on the verge of death!

What if the female ghost Xiaoqian retains the "common problems" of women before her death?

The deaths of the two girls were quickly suppressed. With the help of Angela, a local snake, and with the Axe Gang helping everyone maintain order with an axe, the city of Reese quickly returned to a peaceful life track.

Because of the ban on guns issued by Wang Ziming, the Axe Gang has become a veritable Axe Gang. Originally, the axe was just a weapon used by the Axe Gang to show their identity and hand-to-hand combat. The main battles were revolvers and Longzheng rifles.

But the city of Lys, which has now been banned from guns, naturally doesn't need an axe to help people carry guns, an axe is enough.

Angela is worthy of being a talented girl who was once attracted by the Yuwen family. In just 3 days, the people of Lys City resumed their previous jobs.

The kind of land that should be cultivated, the kind of work that should be done, and the kind of hawker who should be a hawker...

The big shops can never be opened, because the big shops are actually supported by the powerful behind. Without the powerful, there is no supply channel, and naturally there is no sale...

As a result, commercial activities in the market in Liss City suddenly became sluggish.

Of course, Wang Ziming doesn't care about this, he just needs a stable environment for those ordinary people to honestly farm and produce various materials to support his army!

In addition to Lis City, other small towns and even villages like Wang Ziming follow a similar method, selecting local people who are willing to work for them, and then directly assigning them to the positions of mayor and village chief.

As for the huge and perfect executive branch of the original federal government, it has been completely reduced.

Only three basic and key departments remain in the local administrative agencies.

The administrative department led by the mayor, the town mayor, and the village chief, the judicial department with few personnel to resolve civil disputes, and the sheriff with only a few people...

In a city like Lys, there is a patrol room, and a patrol leader leads dozens of patrolmen to maintain law and order.

Because no one has guns, these dozens of patrolling with guns are quite powerful.

What's more, there is a French line of infantry garrisoned in the city of Lys!

The matter of force can be left to the French line infantry, and the role of patrol is more in dealing with civil disputes and tracing prisoners.

After all, the French line infantry can only fight, so it would be wrong to let them catch thieves professionally!

As for the town-level administrative unit, it was even more rudimentary, with only one sheriff and less than two-digit security guards.

If it is a large village, there is only one village-level sheriff. In a small village, there is no sheriff, and the village chief maintains it...

Of course, all the local departments Wang Ziming will not allocate funds, on the contrary, they need to collect taxes under the supervision of the French line infantry!

Taxes are no longer money, but all kinds of living materials and important food!

What Wang Ziming's military government likes most is food, and will only collect supplies if there is no food to be handed over.

In addition, Wang Ziming also frantically limited the tax collection period to once a month!

What's so special about having to pay taxes once a month? Is there anything more cruel than this for federal civilians?

You know, federal taxes in this era are only twice a year!

Of course, the small number of tax collections does not mean that the tax pressure is light, but the federal government is only trying to save the personnel expenses when collecting taxes.

Tax collection is a huge project. In this age without information, UU reading www. uukanshu. com is all checked manually...

Therefore, Wang Ziming's monthly tax collection is actually causing trouble for himself, which greatly increases the work intensity of tax collectors. Fortunately, Wang Ziming can make the French line infantry go to the countryside to compulsorily collect taxes!

In front of the barrel of a gun, the tax collection efficiency is quite high...

It is Wang Ziming, who is worried about the large number of troops, who will use the soldiers' force to collect taxes!

The tax collectors in government departments actually do more like a clerk's statistical work.

During the period when Wang Ziming established the rule of the Blue Shirts in the Colonial District of Lis City, the expansion of the French line of infantry did not stop.

Except for the mine owner (aristocrat) who escaped without a trace, the rest of the staff were kept intact. Wang Ziming's government only needed to change the management team to run immediately.

When recovering the magic stone mine, Wang Ziming found that the miners were all white Oubaro, and they were in the form of family villages.

Their living area is right next to the mine. The elderly and children are not to be seen in the mine. Both white men and women are forced to work in the open fields.

Even if you die of exhaustion, there will be no compensation!

Because in the eyes of the Commonwealth, these white Opalos are two-legged animals, a cheap labor force that can be continuously replenished.

What's interesting is that even though the mine personnel kept squeezing these Obalo whites, they were still reluctant to return to the place where they lived before!
