Take the Empire To the Other World

Chapter 165 Establishing Rule

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

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

The two pure and beautiful girls who served him last night suddenly died suddenly!

He was fine when he left early in the morning, but the two of them didn't even take a step from the door of the room, so why did they die?

The French line infantry has sealed off the scene. The two died in the closely guarded Wang Ziming's mansion (the original villa in the noble city of Rees). It is also impossible to kill silently!

What's more, if a high-level professional came, it should be Wang Ziming not far from the villa, not two insignificant girls!

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

However, after Wang Ziming heard that the professionals recruited from Reese City speculated that it was probably a ghost, he stopped pursuing the matter...

"Oh, what a crime..."

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

Fortunately, Wang Ziming is a sensible person, and he didn't tear up the previous agreement with Angela because of the death of these two girls, and he didn't ask Angela to add fresh and pure maids to him...

Wang Ziming already had some guesses in his heart, and he didn't want to keep "slaughtering beauty" because of his own reasons.

Most importantly, Wang Ziming was worried that this was a warning from the female ghost Xiaoqian. If the female ghost was angered for some indescribable reason, Wang Ziming's amulet might become a fatal thing!

Although the female ghost Xiaoqian did not show any hostility from the beginning to the end, Wang Ziming didn't want to pin his life on unfounded guesses, let alone make wild temptations on the verge of death!

What if the female ghost Xiaoqian retains the "common problems" of women in her lifetime?

The deaths of the two girls were quickly suppressed. With the help of Angela, a local snake, and with the ax gang holding an ax to maintain order, Reese City quickly returned to a peaceful life track.

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

But Rees City, where guns have been banned, naturally doesn't need an ax to help people hold guns, an ax is enough.

Angela is indeed a talented woman who was once recruited by Yuwen's family. In just 3 days, the people of Rees City resumed their previous jobs.

Those who should be farming should be farming, those who should be working should be working, those who should be hawkers should be hawkers...

Big shops can never be opened, because big shops are actually supported by the rich and powerful behind them, without the rich and powerful, there will be no supply channels, and naturally there will be no sales...

Therefore, commercial activities in the market in Reese 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 the land and produce various supplies to support his army!

Apart from Reese City, other small towns and even villages, Wang Ziming followed a similar method, selecting talents who were willing to work for him among the locals, and then directly assigned them to the positions of mayors and village chiefs.

As for the huge and complete administrative department under the original Federation, it has been completely reduced.

Only three basic key departments have been retained in the local administrative organization.

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

In a city like Reese City, there is a patrol house, and a patrol chief leads dozens of patrols to maintain law and order.

Because no one has a gun, these dozens of patrols armed with guns are quite powerful.

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

The matter of force can be handed over to the French line infantry, and the role of patrolling is more to deal with civil disputes and track down criminals.

After all, the French line infantry can only fight, so it's wrong to ask them to catch thieves professionally!

As for the town-level administrative units, it is even more rudimentary, with only one sheriff and security guards with less than double digits.

If it is a large village, there is only one village-level magistrate, and a small village does not even have a magistrate, so the village chief can maintain it by himself...

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

Taxes are no longer money, but various living materials and important food!

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

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

What's more, they have to pay taxes once a month. Is there anything more cruel to common people in the Federation?

You know, the federal tax in this era is only twice a year!

Of course, the low number of tax collections does not mean that the tax pressure is light. It is just that the federal government wants to save personnel expenses when collecting taxes.

Tax collection is a huge project. In this era without information technology, it is all done manually...

Therefore, Wang Ziming's tax collection once a month is actually causing trouble for himself, which greatly increases the work intensity of the tax collectors. Fortunately, Wang Ziming can send the French line infantry to the countryside to collect taxes forcibly!

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

That is to say, Wang Ziming, who has a lot of troops and is worried, will use soldiers to collect taxes by force!

In fact, tax collectors in government departments do more like a kind of clerk's statistical work.

During the period when Wang Ziming established the rule of the Blue Shirts in the colonial area of ​​Reese City, the expansion of the French line infantry did not stop, and the magic stone mine in the colonial area of ​​Reese City was easily taken into the hands of Wang Ziming.

Except for the mine owner (the nobleman) who disappeared without a trace, all other personnel remained intact. Wang Ziming's government only needs to change the management team to run immediately.

When taking back the magic stone mine, Wang Ziming found that the miners were all white Obaros, and they were based on family villages.

Their residential area is next to the mine, and old people and children are not seen in the mine. Both white men and women are forced to work in the open field.

Even if you are exhausted, there will be no compensation!

Because these Obaro whites are like two-legged livestock in the eyes of the federal people, and they are a kind of cheap labor that can be continuously replenished.

Interestingly, even though the mine personnel continue to squeeze these Obaro whites, they are still willing to return to the place where they used to live!
