Overnight, Buckley and his gang were captured and annihilated in Manhattan. They were all arrested.
The next day, Buckley and his group, those with the most serious diseases were hanged at the gate of the inner city, while others with less serious crimes were escorted to the lumberyard to do coolies.
The Song Empire's "Crackdown on Gangs and Elimination of Evil" severely shocked a group of guys and made them give up the idea of ??joining the underworld in Manhattan.
There are a lot of jobs here in Manhattan anyway, and you can make money doing whatever you do. There is no way to violate the laws of Manhattan and gain benefits at the expense of freedom.
And Buckley¡¯s body is still hanging at the city gate, swinging in the howling wind. He has become a role model.
Next, the city of Manhattan began to organize its business planning. The commercial streets and business districts, as well as hotels and casinos, were all far away from residential areas.
For a time, the public security in Manhattan became chaotic.
Because these areas are very close to the east port and are even connected to the market in the port, this makes the port more lively.
People living in Manhattan will hang out near the port in their free time, which makes the residential area quieter.
Zhao Hongyu is very satisfied with this change.
Near the port, Zhao Hongyu also planned an open space for the establishment of embassy areas for various countries in the future.
Yes, many countries now want to establish diplomatic relations with the Song Empire and want to establish embassies in the empty capital of the Song Empire.
But the problem is that the powerful Song Empire was created by Zhao Hongyu. Thirty million people and so on, these are all nonsense he said.
Where is he going to get 30 million people and a city with millions of people?
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu did not agree to these requests from various countries, but adopted the "drag" strategy.
However, it is not a problem to keep putting off this matter. He will have to solve it sooner or later.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu thought about it and finally decided to reject those countries that wanted to establish diplomatic relations on the grounds that the empire did not establish diplomatic relations. At the same time, as Lord of Manhattan, Crown Prince of the Empire and Prince of the East, he personally established trade agreements with various countries and agreed with them to establish contact points in Manhattan.
Strictly speaking, the contact point established in Manhattan can actually be regarded as an embassy.
It¡¯s just that for this kind of organization, the one they need to face and contact is Zhao Hongyu.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu threatened them that no one in the empire was willing to establish diplomatic relations with the outside world except himself. The top leaders of the empire wanted to close the country, so he suggested that countries should not send personnel deep into the hinterland of the Americas, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, scaring is nothing but scaring, and he also knows that just scaring cannot scare these people. So he asked Song Hu to set up a patrol team in the Manhattan area. Any team that found Europeans entering the hinterland would intercept them and even kill those people if necessary.
In this era, killing a few people is not a big deal at all. In order to keep one's secrets and prevent them from being deceived, sometimes killing is also a necessary method.
In the next month, the inner and outer cities of Manhattan finally became quiet. After the shops and casinos were moved near the port, business not only did not decline, but actually improved a lot.
??And the Europeans who came to do trade on the merchant ships docked at the port originally liked this tune. Therefore, they become the main source providers of these incomes.
The standardized operation of casinos and casinos on Manhattan Island was an eye-opener for these Europeans.
Those wandering warblers have gone through a short period of training and are no longer what they used to be.
This makes Europeans feel very fresh, and they are even willing to spend more silver coins to enjoy this kind of service.
In residential areas, except for some small daily necessities stores and small bars. Commercial shops that harbor dirt and affect public security have been moved near the port, which invisibly makes the security in residential areas no longer as chaotic as before.
As for the focus of public security, as long as it is placed near the port, you can feel completely at ease.
Looking at the various data reported by Wang Shan again, Zhao Hongyu nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, as I guessed, this adjustment not only did not reduce the tax revenue, but actually doubled it."
After looking at this month¡¯s tax amount, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a smile.
Hearing this, Wang Shan smiled and responded: "This is not surprising at all. First of all, there are only three casinos. This avoids vicious competition and reduces the dispersion of passenger flow. Usury""Instead of releasing other gangsters, it is better for our intelligence department to do it." At the same time, the concentration of commerce also brings more people to those areas, and people have a tendency to follow blindly. There are so many people and it's so lively. Whenever you go there, you always have to buy something, so the business of the shops is better than before, which is normal. "
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Has your intelligence department already established a mafia organization?"
Wang Shan nodded and said: "Yes, it has been established. The name is 'Underworld Arbitration Institute'. This name is very domineering."
Hearing this name, Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t deny it.
It¡¯s just a name, so he doesn¡¯t want to say anything more. Anyway, let Wang Shan have fun.
"Your Highness, in the future, most of the source of economic income of our intelligence department will depend on this organization. And it will also be of great benefit to the collection of intelligence."
Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu was certainly aware of this, but he still said to Wang Shan: "Wang Shan, you must control this organization. You must know that this organization is a double-edged sword. It has benefits if it is used well, but whether it is used properly or not Then you will be in big trouble."
Wang Shan nodded seriously and responded.
Then, Zhao Hongyu continued: "Although this organization is an agency affiliated with the Intelligence Department, you must be careful not to use drastic means when lending money or collecting protection fees, and try not to kill anyone. "
Zhao Hongyu believes that although this organization has the name of a gang, it is ultimately affiliated with the intelligence department. In other words, strictly speaking, this is a government agency.
Therefore, this gang cannot, like a real gang, do things like murder and arson to obtain illegitimate benefits.
Wang Shan nodded and said: "I know this, Your Highness, and it is in my plan. In addition to collecting intelligence, the function of this underworld arbitration office can also use their name to deal with foreign intelligence personnel, as well as He¡¯s just a scapegoat.¡±
¡°Well, this is also a good idea.
Zhao Hongyu was really moved by Wang Shan's proposal.
Yes, spies from other countries will inevitably be stationed in Manhattan in the future, and if you don¡¯t want some of your secrets or intelligence to be spread by the other party, you must kill them.
And after killing these people, you need an excuse.
Even if it¡¯s a natural disaster or something like that.
But it¡¯s not as good as a gang organization taking the blame.
¡°Yes, when something goes wrong, all I have to do is condemn the gangs in Manhattan.
¡°Moreover, gangster organizations can let people know that the spies have financial disputes with them, which is completely convincing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan: "Well, your plan is very good, I think it is interesting. You can completely follow this idea. It would be even better if you can break into European countries."
??A transnational ancient underworld?
Wang Shan thought about it and thought it was not impossible.
You must know that in this era, the predecessors of gangs such as brotherhoods have already appeared.
Therefore, it is not impossible for arbitration firms from the Americas to land in Europe.
"Okay, I'll try my best to give it a try. Anyway, no matter what kind of organization it is, it can develop as long as it has money, and we are most in need of money."
Wang Shan agreed.
"Wang Shan, please prepare during this time. I plan to go to the Great Lakes region and look for a place to build a city there." Manhattan's military and economy have been on the right track, and now Zhao Hongyu is completely free. Come down.
If he is at ease to this extent, he can now live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
But it is obvious that this kind of life and this level of development are not what Zhao Hongyu wants.
Since God has given him such an opportunity and such a cheating artifact, Zhao Hongyu must stir up trouble in this era.
Maybe it would be good to leave a name in history.
It was with this thought that after taking a break for more than two months, Zhao Hongyu no longer wanted to stay like this.
"Your Highness, isn't it a little inappropriate to go to the Great Lakes region this season?"
Hearing this, Wang Shan raised a small question.
Yes, it¡¯s winter now. It¡¯s a bit inappropriate to go to the Great Lakes region in such cold weather.
Besides, even if we go to the Great Lakes region now, we can't start construction in such cold weather. Because in this season, the ground is frozen very hard.
"It takes at least seven days to get to the Great Lakes region from us, and we also have to find a suitable location to build the city, which is time-consuming." Zhao Hongyu sat there, thinking sideways and told Wang Shan what he said the opinion of.
"When I find a suitable location, I will not start construction immediately. Instead, I will use the time and space trader to cultivate a group of genetic people, buy some yurts and let them station in that area, and then occupy that area first." , Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes kept flashing with sparkle.
"Wang Shan, don't forget. In this era, only the territory you occupy is yours. And what I have to do is to occupy the Great Lakes area first, so as not to let the French take advantage later."
