"Are you threatening us?" The middle-aged Jews seem to hear a very funny joke, "with the manpower of your patrol now, even if you add those forces that fall to you or are controlled by you secretly, how many people can you gather together? Do you know how many people there are in the Jewish Gang? If necessary, we can even turn the 30000 Jews living here into our people. What do you have Is capital threatening us? "
"The threat I'm talking about doesn't come from us," Zhang Heng said. "I believe some of you have heard some news during this period. Our young emperor has just returned from the battlefield and ascended the throne. He is eager to do something that can win the praise and support of the people. Holding a wrestling show is only the first step. Next, he plans to turn his eyes When it comes to public security, your majesty has noticed the extrajudicial state of the southeast urban area. He is concerned about the imperial people living here. No matter what you think, in your Majesty's eyes, you are all the people of the Empire, and the situation here does affect the surrounding areas. Otherwise, why do you think I joined the patrol here? "
Zhang Heng said that after a pause here, he continued, "my arrival is only the first step. If I fail to improve the public security environment here, then a thousand guards will be stationed here to take over the public security and defense work. At that time, you will have to face the spears and swords of the guards, so are you sure you want to drive me away?"
Zhang Heng's words immediately caused an uproar.
All the big and small forces did not expect that this incident would involve the guards. Especially when they heard that the new emperor was going to attack the southeast city, everyone was worried. Before, they could bully the patrols that wanted money, no money, no people, no one. But if the opponent was the guards, and the guards were 1000 people, at least all of them would win All the small forces have to bear the burden.
As for the top forces like the Jewish Gang, they are able to mobilize 30000 Jews, but let's not say whether these civilians can beat the guards. Even if they can, do they want to rebel? Although they were all criminals and engaged in criminal activities in the city of Rome, they only wanted to earn money and beg for food. There was no idea of treason. Spartacus was a living example.
What's more, Rome is now at its peak, and the war with the Germanic people has ended. A group of veteran soldiers who have been fighting for a long time have all returned to Rome. If they can't beat the Germanic people, it's still no problem to suppress a civilian uprising.
However, people are also skeptical about this matter. With the first group of Jews settling down in Rome, the public security problem in the southeast city had existed, which was much longer than the history of Jewish gang. However, none of the successive emperors could solve it, not because they were unable to solve it, but because it was a laborious and thankless thing.
Southeast city is a chronic disease of Rome, but it also provides cheap labor for Rome. Sometimes their labor price is even cheaper than that of slaves. After all, if the slaves die, the owner will lose a sum of property, and no one cares if the civilians die, such as cleaning the sewers, and unloading and dredging the silt on the Tiber River They are basically from the southeast urban area.
Many of them are businesses of such criminal forces as Jewish gangs, which take all the criminals here. It is estimated that the cost of labor in Rome will rise in the future, not to mention whether they can do it or how many people are left. This is a situation that all businessmen and aristocrats with industries do not want to see.
That's why this problem has been shelved all the time. But now that Commodus has just come to power, most people still don't know the temper of the young emperor. No one knows what he is thinking and whether he will suddenly want to attack the southeast city.
During this period of time, they have made it very clear about Zhang Heng's investigation. They know that he is indeed a person valued by Kang maode. It's strange that he will be assigned to patrol here. If Kang maode wants to deal with the crime problem in the southeast city, it can explain why Zhang Heng came here.
A thousand guards? If there are 1000 guards stationed here, our business will not be unaffected, but whether we can continue to do so. Therefore, all the forces in the tavern will talk to each other one after another after hearing the news of the explosion.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Jew coughed and asked everyone to stop. Then he shook his head and said, "it's too easy for you to think that you want to scare us with this kind of shadowy news. We haven't seen any storm for so many years, but this place always belongs to us."
"You know very well whether you are chasing shadows or not," Zhang Heng replied calmly. "I believe you have something to do with the Senate. It seems that you don't spend less money. That's the main reason why the southeast urban area has always maintained the status quo. In that case, your people must have passed on the news to you."
"It's not even a proposal. It's just a whim of the emperor a few days ago. How could the Senate pass such a ridiculous thing. It's probably just that you made a gesture to bluff people. Didn't you go to the clinders' house after being invited? The news also came out after that... " The middle-aged Jew said angrily, but as soon as he blurted out this, he realized that he had lost his word.
Because he is equal to help stone hammer Zhang Heng's threat before, sure enough, after he said this sentence, people in the pub showed varying degrees of worry on their faces.Although they have been very uncomfortable recently, they certainly don't want to see the garrison move in compared with Zhang Heng and his patrol, because it will be devastating to the power environment here.
Although in the end of the stalemate, the young emperor might not be able to get anything good, and he would realize again that if he wanted cheap labor, he needed to give it back to the local forces, but how many of them could still be here at that time?
Even the possibility is worrying.
This is the significance of Zhang Heng's visit to klinder some time ago. He proposed a mutually beneficial plan to klinder. Before Zhang Heng engaged in wind and rain in the southeast urban area, it was sooner or later that the three major forces led by the Jewish Gang targeted him. Zhang Heng's solution to the problem was very simple, that is, to create external pressure and transfer contradictions.
On the surface, it seems that the patrol team is short of people and money, and there are big forces that can not be provoked. But in essence, it is because the interests of the patrol team and all forces in the southeast city are not consistent, which is the fundamental reason why the patrol team is not allowed in the southeast city.
If we don't solve this problem, the patrol will not be able to expand. Therefore, Zhang Heng needs klind's help to create the news that a thousand guards will be stationed in the southeast city. Zhang Heng doesn't mind giving klind a part of the credit, or even giving klind most of the credit. Anyway, he just finished his first job perfectly and returned to Kangmao smoothly It's good to be around you.
Klinder, on the other hand, got a piece of political achievement from this incident. Together with Zhang Heng, he solved the long-standing public security problem in the southeast urban area. Of course, he can also choose to stand by and stab his potential competitors. But as klinder said, he believes that Zhang Heng is not the only one who can solve this problem. Zhang Heng knows behind the blade of balance There is also a political force. If klindr doesn't plan to help him, he can go to the priestess of balance blade. But I'm afraid that he will have to pay some price. It's better to get what he needs with klindr.
Zhang Heng looked at the middle-aged Jew and said, "it's not up to you. Why don't you ask Mr. Lockheed and other important people to come down and talk to me, or I'll take someone up to the second floor?"
