When the sun fully rose and brought a touch of warmth to the land shrouded in darkness, the slaves and employees gathered in the square of the slave living area. They watched uneasily as they stood on the sentry tower and walked back and forth with guns in hand. The men in gray clothes were filled with fear.
Just yesterday, Mr. Andor, who was like a demon from hell in their hearts... no, more terrifying than the devil, had become a thing of the past under the attacks of these people. When people introduced Mr. Andor again, , most of them will add a prefix in front of his name - passed away, or returned to the embrace of God. The one who did all this is the young man, the young man standing on the guard tower on the left side of the gate.
Dulin is talking to Mr. Fedeli's lawyer. Yes, he killed Andorra. The friction and conflict between him and Andorra originated from the demand for this mine. Dulin is now considering whether there is any way to Take this mine, but not so bloody.
According to the current practices of some big capitalists in the West and the horse thieves and bandits who specialize in the "mine resale" trade, they will thoroughly bloodbath the entire mining area without leaving a single person alive, and then transfer the mining area to auction.
There are two main reasons for doing this. The first is to protect yourself.
Yes, the West is a paradise for adventurers and these horse bandits. In the vast and sparsely populated West, it is more difficult to find the whereabouts of a group of people than to eat a mouthful of hot horse excrement. It is worth mentioning that eating hot horse excrement is the most popular in the West. The treatment method advocated by shamans who call themselves Earth God Cult. When most sick people come to ask for help, they will recommend these patients to eat hot horse excrement. As for whether eating hot horse excrement can cure diseases, no one knows whether there is any medical or pathological relationship, but there are always one or two people who recovered soon after eating hot horse excrement. Therefore, many local elderly people who have lived in the west for generations are not concerned about illness. Eating hot horse shit is still highly recommended.
Back to the topic, urbanization in the West has always been the lowest in the Western world. Every city is separated by a long distance. Ninety percent of the land in the West is undeveloped Gobi, canyons, and deserts. Only about 10% of the place is inhabited and is a city. So when these horse bandits are really determined to hide, even if the Imperial Army is mobilized, they may not be able to wipe them out.
But at the same time, this also brought certain troubles to the lives of the horse bandits. Just like the urbanization problem mentioned above, the supply of horse bandits was the most serious trouble. These horse bandits who rely on robbery and killing cannot farm, harvest, or graze their own animals. Their supplies also come from the city, so every once in a while they have to send horse teams into the city in the name of purchasing from mining areas. supply. If their appearance was discovered by slaves or others because of their soft-heartedness and reported to the police, they would be put on a wanted order.
They are most likely to be caught without their knowledge and beheaded in full public view.
Therefore, the horse bandits' strategy for the mining area is to kill them all without leaving any hidden dangers.
The second problem is the problem of the successor. After the horse bandits clean up the mining area, it is impossible to run it on their own. The purpose of doing so is almost always to be employed by some big capitalists. Big capitalists are interested in a certain mine, but if they can't reach an agreement, they will spend money to hire bandits to clean up the mining area and turn the owned privatized mining area into an unowned publicized mining area, and then the city government Or the state government will auction the mining area, and they can take over the mine calmly.
But they will never want anyone in the mine. Who knows if there are any direct descendants of the former mine owner? What if they come out in the middle of the night and kill their agent, or there is a riot? It is also a problem for capitalists. Troublesome places not only need to spend another sum of money to suppress riots, but also pay large and high pensions. This is inconsistent with their business strategy, so buying a clean mining area is easier to manage than buying a mining area with people. Also feel more at ease.
Why bother yourself when you spend the same money anyway
These two main reasons have caused a sense of crisis for the owners of the western mines. Therefore, as long as the cost of the mine protection team is within their affordability, they will expand the size of the mine protection team as much as possible to ensure their personal safety. and property security.
But Du Lin didn't intend to kill all these people. He was not a butcher and executioner, so there was no need to kill so many people.
After talking to the lawyer for a while, the lawyer gave him a suggestion to legally obtain ownership of the mine in accordance with inheritance law. According to the laws related to imperial property, if a person dies naturally, his property will be inherited by his designated relatives. Among them, if the property in the bank does not have time to designate an heir, the heir cannot prove his relationship with the deceased within the specified time and Get the legal paperwork out and the bank will swallow it.
The mine is not the money in the bank account. These things will definitely be inherited by Andorra's family. If their family is willing to sell or give the mine to Dulin independently and without interference, Dulin will be the legal owner of the mine. .
This is a good method, simple and legal, which is why Dulin likes lawyers. They can always find the most appropriate explanation for your ridiculous and exaggerated behavior.
This made him think of Kevin even more, but Kevin is still staying in Otis City. After the new mayor takes office, he will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice as a staff member. This is the deal between Dulin and Mags The good part of the deal was about his execution of the removal order.
Ellis handed the loudspeaker to Dulin. Dulin clapped it and made a pengpeng sound, and the whole camp fell silent. He looked down at the slaves in the slave living area who were in ragged clothes and shivering in the cold wind, and his voice became rich and loud through the loudspeaker.
"I drove away the darkness and brought sunshine. From today on, this mining area belongs to me, Dulin."
"So starting from today, everything here will undergo huge changes, and the biggest change is you..." Dulin pointed to the people in the slave camp, "I know you are from other continents and different countries. , you are here and have become slaves for various reasons. Today, I decided to bring you something different."
"Work on my territory for three years. In just three years, you will become free people again. I will improve your working environment, living environment and living environment for you, and I will also provide you with a salary. The salary may be It will be lower than ordinary empire miners, about 20 yuan a month, which will allow you to take something back with you when you choose to leave here in three years."
"I will respect your beliefs and living habits, and make you feel that you are not trapped here, but choose to work here. I have brought you upward changes, good changes, but I will also be more strict. Regulation."
"I may not be a good person, but I am definitely a person who abides by the rules. I also hope that you can abide by the rules I set..."
The lawyer on the side originally wanted to interrupt and tell Dulin that there was no need to give these slaves good treatment. According to the current laws of the empire, only citizens of the country and foreign citizens who entered the country legally enjoyed the protection of the law. These non-citizens They were slaves smuggled over by human traffickers. Even if they killed all of them, there wouldn't be much movement in their empire.
Because they didn't exist in this land to begin with. Since they didn't exist in the first place, what does it matter if they really don't exist
Du Lin's idea is different. He is well aware of the dangers of mining. The industrial level in this world is far from the industrial level in the dream world. Even in the dream world, there are often news about foreign mines. The cave collapsed. It is normal for mines in this world to collapse and piping to surge. There is absolutely no need to let the Guarts go into the mines. These slaves are the best miners. Give them hope, give them treatment, and let them change from their original resistance to accepting it with satisfaction. This is thanks to the attitude of Andorra and the entire western mine owners towards slaves, which allows him to buy these slaves with only a few small favors.
Sure enough, the slaves immediately became excited. They were still a little doubtful of Du Lin's words, but this has changed a lot, hasn't it? Not only do they have the opportunity to go home, but they can also take a sum of money back with them. They are no longer slaves, but workers!
For the ordinary employees here, Dulin also made some changes. In addition to raising their salaries a little, he also provided some benefits that they had never had before. To put it simply, everyone has a better life and Basics, everyone is satisfied.
Under the threat of death and better welfare benefits, these people will not make any unwise moves in the short term, and even if they want to make such a move, I am afraid Dulin will not give them a chance.
The reason for this decision was that there were too many slaves in the West.
Most of these people from abroad who were deceived into the empire were deceived with the idea of changing themselves and their families through work and hard work. After becoming slaves, they were almost desperate, but Dulin will bring them salvation!
This group of pure "people" who have no interest entanglements in the empire is also the force Dulin needs!
If all the slaves in the west could be liberated from the cruel slave owners and mine owners, the power of the Guart people plus the power of these slaves would be enough to sweep the entire western part of the empire!
This will be an unrivaled force, a torrent of the times that will destroy all corruption!
