If there is any special change in the west this year, especially in Ambluo State, apart from free education, it may be the unprecedented "monkey catching" activity.
Not all gold diggers are willing to register with the state government's "Gold Diggers Management Office" and register all their private information in the state government's register.
The careers of most gold diggers are always accompanied by blood, fights, gunfights and death. Either they killed others, or others killed them. In summary, as long as the gold diggers who are still alive are more or less offended The place of law.
Therefore, there will always be some people who feel guilty and are unwilling to register. They do not want their last resort to be controlled by the state government. At the same time, they also believe more in their ability to survive in the wild.
As long as they go to cities and towns as little as possible and rely on familiar friends to help with supplies, they can still survive in the wilderness of the west.
Moreover, although Dulin, the governor of Ambiluo State, established a natural resources security bureau and swept away a group of gang members and gold prospectors, the state government did not publicly announce that it would conduct overall mining of the mineral deposits in Yagul Mountain.
This means that gold diggers still have a way out and a chance. As long as they can get a substantial amount of gold ore, everything in this life will be solved.
It was under such circumstances that the farmers and cowboys of Ambiluo State discovered huge business opportunities. According to the state government's explanation, as long as they report unregistered gold diggers who are still operating in Ambluo State, after catching these gold diggers, they can get a minimum of five yuan and a maximum of two yuan according to the fame of the arrested person. Bonuses ranging from one hundred dollars.
If they can personally arrest the gold diggers and send them to the corresponding office of the state government, they will receive twice as much reward as the reporting reward, regardless of life or death.
Ten yuan to four hundred yuan!
This amount of money is enough to make the farmers and cowboys of Ambiluo State jealous. These guys have grown up on horses. When they were born, they might have played with their elders’ guns. In terms of their familiarity with the wild and their knowledge of firearms and horses, and fighting instinct, they may not be worse than gold diggers.
Some registered gold diggers were automatically transformed into bounty hunters in time, and together with these farmers and cowboys, they began to catch monkeys after meals.
For a time, the image of gold diggers, a profession that was once all-powerful in the west, became a little distorted in Ambiluo State. They were like women who had been wronged. Even registered gold diggers had to remain relatively cautious and low-key. posture.
Those farmers and cowboys are not the same thing at all. Not only do they form gangs when they act, they will shoot you as long as you resist a little bit. As for the wrong shot
Why is the West so desolate? Because there are too many wildernesses here.
So much so that even in the wild, many gold diggers would tie the registration tag issued to them by the state government on a rope and hang it in the most conspicuous place on their chest to avoid trouble from farmers and cowboys.
Outside the West, some mainstream voices criticized Dulin's move as a violation of the Charter's "respect for citizens' rights to make free choices" and considered it to be Dulin's premeditated persecution of a small number of citizens.
How the gold diggers choose their own lifestyle is the right given to them by the Charter. However, Dulin is wantonly trampling on the basic rights brought by the Charter to people. He uses layers of means to prevent people from choosing this profession and engaging in these jobs. .
This is inhumane, cruel, and a criminal act that violates the spirit of the Empire and the Imperial Charter!
This argument is very popular outside the West. There are always some housewives who carry their own bags every day to buy low-priced vegetables specially used to relieve poor families. They always believe that the truth is in their own hands. For those active The dark truths of society revealed by social activists will be given 100% trust and will be publicized voluntarily.
Most of these housewives are not highly educated and their family conditions are relatively poor. They do not have any political stance. Their only pursuit is to never fall behind in the truth and "Only I can painfully understand the darkness of society." and oppression”.
Coupled with those social activists who are even willing to have close contact with a donkey as long as the money is in place, it is not very difficult to create a wave of public opinion.
At least, this is what Du Lin did before. After hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent, public opinion became one-sided and all the truth was submerged in falsehoods. If there were too many lies, those who really knew the truth would doubt the information they got. Whether it is fake or not, whether I have been deceived.
Du Lin is not very concerned about outside discussions and criticism. Now the old party has just come to power. This is a huge success that has not been seen in thirty years. In such a huge environment full of certain victory arguments, there will always be some People have a strange idea.
Once, a nobleman was wandering in his territory and saw a peasant woman working with two children. He nodded, shook his head, and left.
His two men kidnapped the peasant woman that night, stripped her naked, and sent her to the noble's bed. They felt that the noble's nodding meant that the peasant woman was good, and shaking his head meant that she was already married.
In order to satisfy the desire of the dominant person, they take the initiative to please the dominant person and take the initiative to bear the infamy.
This is because compared to the inconsequential scoldings of untouchables and commoners in a closed society, it is obvious that those in power can bring them more benefits.
But they didn't know that the nobles nodded to express their feelings that the people in their fiefs were living a good life. Not only could they support themselves, but they could also support their two children healthily.
He shook his head, feeling that what he had done was not good enough and he could do better to make the people in his fief happier.
These two men are typical speculators. If they guess the lord's mind correctly, they may become the powerful class, but if they guess wrong, their end will be tragic.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, but the lines on the tires will not be worn away so quickly. There are always people who think that the predecessors were stupid, but people with these ideas are often even stupider - they are always repeating what they think is stupid. , but I think this is a very clever thing.
The slander and criticism of Dulin mainly come from two aspects. The first is those vested interest speculators who happily believe that the old party is the mainstay of the empire. They can't wait to expand their own benefits in this way.
Another group of people are the civilians of the new party headed by Powers. In their eyes, Dulin, a traitor, has already turned to the aristocracy, so they should of course make Dulin feel the consequences of "failed speculation". Disastrous consequences.
After all, Maggs retired and the new party leader is now Powers.
Du Lin did not express any response to the criticism and abuse from the outside world. He still went his own way. Ambluo State was the foundation for his livelihood. As long as the people of Ambluo State supported him, he did not need to consider other people's thoughts at all.
"Your Excellency, Governor, does the state government have any plans to develop the mineral resources in the Yagul Mountains?", the mayor of Ovisto asked a question at the state government's regular meeting in early March.
This guy's name is Richard, one of the members of the New Party. So far, he has not fully stated his position on whether he is on the side of the aristocracy or the civilian faction, but he is doing his job smoothly.
The main thing is that there is not much that can be done in the west. With Dulin vigorously raiding the gold diggers, the security environment of the entire Ambiro State suddenly leads the entire west.
After the gold diggers were eliminated, many people focused their attention on the mineral deposits in the Yagul Mountains. It was an astonishing wealth. Even if there were no gold mines, there were enough other mineral deposits to support the state government and the governments at all levels below. Stomach bursting.
Now that the biggest obstacle has been solved, someone will naturally come up with such an idea, which Dulin expected.
Du Lin glanced at him with a smile, then shook his head, "I took a look and found that finance at all levels of government below, including the state government, is always a big problem. We can't spend more money to develop Yaya now. The mineral resources in Gul Mountain are also not included in the current plan.”
His answer disappointed the mayors in the conference room, but this is also a fact. The financial problem of Ambiro State is always a big problem. In addition to applying for financial assistance from the cabinet every year, this state has made great efforts from top to bottom. Couldn't find much money.
Due to the lack of pillar industries, coupled with the chaotic social environment and public security, farmers and cowboys who are struggling to make ends meet will not talk to tax commissioners about paying taxes.
There is no money, but there are some bullets.
Dulin also knew very well what these people were thinking. Politicians who were able to sneak into Ambiluo State, especially those working under him, were either here to mess around or cause trouble. Dulin would not give them a chance.
Moreover, the problem of mining mineral resources in Yagur Mountain is far more complicated than these people, including those in the outside society, imagined.
The old party just came to power this year, and it has not been long since Kubal sat in the office of the head of the cabinet. Even if he is an old politician with sufficient qualifications and experience, he will be eager to clear his name when he first takes this position, and he must Clear your name in front of the entire society.
There is no better way to stimulate the sentiments of all classes in society than to enrich the national treasury. Once Dulin intends to mine these mineral veins, the central government will inevitably intervene. At that time, it will not be Ambiluo State or Dulin that mines these minerals. The central government and the Ministry of Finance take the lead, and Ambiro State cooperates in the extraction of resources. The real big profits will fall into the pockets of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Finance.
The benefits in Dulin's plan did not match, so he could not rush, nor could he take the initiative to propose the idea of exploiting the mineral resources in Yagur Mountain. Kubal had to propose it first.
