In Cold Wind City, East Fourth Street.
The inspectorate was nailing the house number on the street, and the hammer and nail were smashing. Watching the excitement all around, chattering non-stop.
Powell lurked in this street and met a bunch of people when he went out. It seemed that something terrible had happened, so he subconsciously wanted to ask.
In fact, you don't need to inquire more, or even lean in. At the entrance of the street stood a speaker from the inspection office, holding up a wooden horn to inform the city management regulations promulgated by His Excellency Victor Hugo, the deputy speaker.
City management
It's strange, Powell intends to listen.
In the previous Cold Wind City turmoil, the Supervisory Office was destroyed by Master Hugo's'transformation into a dragon'. The personnel of the Supervision Office fled and scattered, and there were not many people who could gather.
Another city agency that was disbanded was the Inspection Office. It is in charge of patrols, security, cleaning, civilian cases, commercial taxation, and many other chores.
Without the patrol inspection office, there are a lot of little officials who dominate and blessed. But corresponding public services have also ceased.
For civilians only, they can't count on any public service, and the trivial matters of life are all on their own. But for city managers, this institution cannot be shut down.
Deputy Speaker Hugo is in charge of finances, and regardless of the daily quarrels in the parliament, he only implements his own urban renewal projects in a dull manner.
The first thing is to rebuild the inspection office, recruit and select more than 2,000 people, and set up a three-level management organization for "city, district, and street".
The first director was Wilson, the former craftsman president who was filled with knowledge by the'scholar's touch'.
The craftsman who was once captured by the goblin as a slave finally managed to get ahead and became the first official sent out under Hugo's command.
There are 2,400 people in the inspection office, and the backbone of low-level civil servants trained by "rich and strong leaders". The most important of these is the urban management of 700 paramilitaries.
Urban management is responsible for urban security, fire protection, and general civil disputes. They wore rattan helmets and armours, equipped with light weapons, and looked weird. They shocked the residents of the city as soon as they appeared.
Unlike the soldiers of the patrol office who controlled and suppressed in the past, urban management is required to solve various difficulties encountered by citizens in their daily lives.
For example, if someone is sick, they call the city management to help send them to the hospital. Whose child is missing, call the city management to help find it. Someone caught fire and called the city management to fight the fire.
As for the trial, it would be fine to get a wizard apprentice to'discern lies'.
The minimum salary for each urban manager is'one gold and five silver', which is a very good job. The recruitment training took a month, and many people rushed to come.
Your Excellency Hugo tries his best to set up a reasonable system to make this team an in-depth management and efficient organization. Let the manpower and material resources of the whole city be available to him.
With urban management, the nobles in the city don't feel it, but the common people in the city feel different. At the very least, urban management does not collect taxes from anyone.
At least better than the patrol officer's master who only used to'eat, take, and take'.
The purpose of public services is that the government spends money centrally, greatly reducing urban operating costs. Ordinary families can specialize in their own work without worrying about all kinds of trivial matters.
With regard to the rebuilt inspection office, only these spies like Powell are obsessed with it. They called Adrian's hunting team "evil dogs", and the city management became "dog legs".
These "dog legs" patrol day and night, 24 hours a day. If something goes wrong, support everywhere.
There is no threat to a single city management, but the organized city management of hundreds of numbers is a very hindrance to spies.
The inspection office is also responsible for cleaning up streets, building dilapidated houses, and transforming water supply and drainage systems. The entire city is changing day by day, and ordinary residents can clearly feel that their living environment is constantly improving.
Just repairing the toilet is a great deed. Good water supply and drainage can greatly reduce the occurrence of diseases, and the streets that are no longer muddy are also very comfortable.
Now, the people from the inspection office have begun to name the streets and pin the house numbers to each household. This kind of thing has never happened before.
The preacher stood on a wooden box and used a wooden speaker to popularize the convenience of having a house number to the residents.
For example, His Excellency Hugo will soon establish a post office and a bank to integrate roads and transportation around the entire Coldwind City. In the future, ordinary residents can also send letters, packages and money to relatives and friends.
When the inspection office was just rebuilt, Powell only felt that this institution was in the way. He could hear the house number, but he was sweating and frightened.
Obviously, the hiding is excellent, and there is no threat around him, but the spy is like a natural enemy nemesis, and his whole person is stunned by the street, his head buzzing.
How did Victor Hugo's head grow? How could he think of a seemingly harmless trick like house number, but in reality
In the past, the urban management of Coldwind City was basically in the state of herding sheep. Nobles never care about how many streets, houses, households, and populations there are in the city.
Passers-by enter the city, and there is no way to accurately describe where they are going. Only the Wizard’s Tower and landmark buildings such as the City Lord’s Mansion can accurately guide the way, and only familiar residents in other areas can know the path.
For example, Zhou Qingfeng once went to the "Crow Street" in the dock area to kill evil and insects. If it weren't for finding the internal response, he would have no idea even where Crow Avenue was.
Because'Crow Street' is completely named by the residents of that street. Gates are set up in every street, and the gates are closed in dark, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
The residents across the street don't even know who their neighbors live.
Now it's all right, the inspection office has unified divisions and unified names, and also has to pin a house number for each household, count the residents by the way, and set up a'street office' and a'residential committee'.
The Inspection Office will arrange security patrols and management personnel for each street to combat street tyrants and market tyrants. It will take over the power that was originally dispersed and autonomous, and will specifically solve various chores encountered in the lives of residents.
In addition, the floating population must be reported if they are to be managed. The hotel and tavern have to rank foreign personnel, and the inspection office will check it regularly.
The biggest reason for the inspection office to implement this set is to tell the residents that it can prevent thieves, robbers and all unstable factors. Don't even think of any underground organization to exist in Coldwind City.
People who live a normal life naturally raise their hands and feet to welcome, but for a person like Powell who can't help but check his identity, it's a disaster.
This..., this..., this is too cruel!
Just in order to catch the thief, did the inspection office spend so much effort to implement such a complicated management policy
How much does it cost? How many people are hired? How many difficulties do you face
Powell felt more uncomfortable as he thought about it, his scalp tingling like an ant bite. As soon as he closed his eyes, he was dizzy, feeling that he would not be able to get along in Cold Wind City anymore.
Victor Hugo is not short of money, people, and not afraid of difficulties. He made it clear that he wanted to control the whole city, and he could do it if he really wanted to.
Just think about it...
The inspection office knows the exact address of any person in the city, what work he does, how many people in the family, and what social relationships he has. From now on, it will be too simple to collect taxes or arrest people.
Powell does not live in the void. Even if he pretends to be his identity, he still has to contact the outside world every day. He interacts with all kinds of ordinary people every day, and everyone pays attention to and knows his every move.
If every street is controlled, how can spies hide their identities
I can't hide it at all!
Thinking of the situation he was about to face, Powell trembled with anger, and his hands and feet were cold in broad daylight.
Can this Coldwind City get better
How can we spies live to satisfy the ruler in the future
Tears will flow down unconvincingly.
This city is full of oppression of underground forces. When will the gray people stand up
