Chapter 65: It’s time to set up a Police Division (1)

“Old master, in the past, we only had a few people, just a hundred or so. It was different now. There were more than two thousand people. There were too many people, and there would always be some conflicts between neighbors. What had happened today had happened before. For example, someone had lost their mirror again, and someone’s clothes had disappeared in the sun. In the past, they didn’t fight, only quarreled. If you have to deal with everything yourself, you’ll be exhausted. ” Zhan junru said. “That’s true, the old master usually has too many things to do. For example, the dam, the training ground, and those machines all need to be directed by the master. These trivial matters can be handled by the constables. ” Gu hanyan said. “That’s a good idea. I need to raise some funds for this. However, we’re not called an arrest Hall. If we do, it’ll cause a misunderstanding in the Imperial court. Do you think we’re trying to rebel by setting up a private Yamen?” Tang Wen shook his head. “Then what do we do?” Zhan junru asked. “It’s called the police Hall, a Western way of calling it. The members inside are all called the police. In the future, the division of labor within the police station would be further divided. For example, the police who dealt with such a small matter was called the Public Security Police. If there was an injury or a major death, they would have to call the criminal Police to deal with it. Also, when there are more cars in the future, we need to set up traffic police. “For example, if two carriages collide, it’ll be the traffic police’s business ...” Tang Wen said. “This is a very novel idea. Westerners are really amazing.” Luo Yiwu nodded and said,”old master, I do have a candidate in mind.” “Oh, tell me about it.” Tang Wen asked. “My Junior Brother Dongfang Ming used to be the Deputy Chief of Detectives of Yuling County. He’s a chivalrous man who doesn’t fear power. In the end, he offended someone and was fired. I’m not bragging, but he has handled many big cases. He even caught the great thief of the pugilistic world, grass on top, and was quite famous in the Yu Ling County back then. ” Luo Yiwu said. “How’s your power? If you’re too weak, you won’t be able to catch bad guys. ” Tang Wen said. “Not bad, I’ve completed rank -7. Although he’s not as skilled, he’s smart and has experience in solving cases. After all, he’s been working in the Yamen for ten years. ” Luo Yiwu said. “Where is he now?” Tang Wen asked. “After he was expelled, he went into seclusion in the forest to cultivate in a fit of anger. I haven’t seen him for a few years. He also heard about what happened to our dual swords sect some time ago, so he rushed back. However, we left in a hurry that day, and he hasn’t arrived home yet. When I left, I left a letter for his family. He should be reaching somi Island soon. ” Luo Yiwu said. “That’s good. Once he’s here, call him over. He’ll be the Vice – Leader of the police force in somi. ” Tang Wen said. “However, it’s probably a bit difficult to get him to sell himself to the Tang family. Because he’s also a martial arts high scholar like me, and he was once a Deputy Chief of Detectives. He’s also a proud person. ” Luo Yiwu said. “Hehe, weren’t you also unwilling at the time? Have you changed a little now?” Tang Wen laughed. He realized that the human qi on Luo Yiwu’s head was leaning more towards him. When he first arrived, it was 80 degrees, but now it was 60 degrees. Of course, Luo Yiwu was not completely biased towards him. Tang Wen wasn’t in a hurry either. When their lives got better, Luo Yiwu would make the right choice. “Lord Jue is an amazing person. I admire you for your martial arts.” Luo Yiwu cupped his fists and said. “We’ll talk about the establishment of the police department when your Junior Brother comes. He can also choose the personnel.” Tang Wen said,”however, Yiwu, were you a high scholar in the past? He was literate and had been a sect leader before. He understood the big picture and had a strong sense of the overall situation. So, what do you think about your position in somi?” “I’ll listen to you, Lord Jue. ” Luo Yiwu replied. “Zhan dongwen isn’t as capable as you, but he’s still good at managing a certain aspect. However, he was still lacking in the overall view. After all, this was related to a person’s vision, experience, and knowledge. Therefore, I’m going to assign you the position of General Director of SuMei Island, in charge of all the affairs of SuMei Island. ” Tang Wen said. “Lord Jue thinks highly of me, I’m willing to die for a fight.” Luo Yiwu was a little excited. He knelt on one knee and cupped his fists toward Tang Wen, and the aura above his head became even more intense. “You, Li Liao, and dongwen are all my right – hand men. Your monthly allowance will be set at ten taels, plus five middle – grade spirit pills. ” Tang Wen said. “Thank you, master!” Luo Yiwu placed his hands on the ground and kowtowed. “Yi Wu, somi Island is still being developed and has not been fully developed yet. I’m also short of money. When I have more money in the future, I’ll give you a higher salary. Don’t even mention ten taels, thirty taels, even three hundred taels is possible. ” Tang Wen reached out to help him up. “Yi Wu is satisfied.” Luo Yiwu’s eyes were wet. At this moment, the popularity of his body had tilted by 30 degrees and he was almost prostrating himself in front of Tang Wen. “Are you used to living here?” Tang Wen asked. “It’s very good. My wife said that the water heater is amazing. It was actually hot water. Water came out as soon as it was turned on, and the water temperature could be adjusted. And that mirror, it was as if there was a person in it. It was too real. The light was too good, it was very bright ... Old master, you’re really a God. ” Luo Yiwu exclaimed in surprise. “We haven’t built a fixed house yet, so we can only share it. From now on, everyone will have their own house, and by then, everyone will have their own water heater. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. On the afternoon of the third day, Dongfang Ming’s family arrived. Furthermore, he had brought along more than twenty of his disciples. “My Junior brother’s disciples aren’t weak. They’re all seventh or eighth – grade. Moreover, he’s been cultivating in the mountains for a few years, and his skills are even higher than mine. He’s completely qualified to be the Vice Hall Master of the police Hall. It’s just that I’ve asked him just now, and I don’t think he can sell himself. He’s only willing to join. In other words, the Tang family paid for it while they did the work. Moreover, Shidi means that the silver you pay must be worthy of his skill. ” Luo Yiwu entered the house and secretly greeted Tang Wen. “How much do you want?” Tang Wen asked. “Their annual salary is estimated to be five hundred taels. Moreover, they also require a batch of medicinal pills for their cultivation. Do you want to call him in immediately?” Luo Yiwu said. “There’s no hurry. Arrange for him to stay first. Take him on a tour of SuMei Island and let him experience the difference of our Island. ” Tang Wen said. “Understood!” Luo Yiwu nodded thoughtfully. “Junior Brother, you must be tired from the long journey. This was a public toilet, so they had to go to the toilet first before going to the bathroom to take a bath. Change into a clean robe and follow me to the canteen to eat. I’ll take you to see somi first ...” Luo Yiwu was a rather qualified ‘support’. “Master, how come their toilets don’t smell?” The second disciple, Lin Jiaojiao, exclaimed in surprise. “Not only is it fragrant, but it’s also too clean. I can’t even see any feces or urine.” The third disciple, Ning Feng, said. “This is what the old master did according to the Western methods. Let’s go, I’ll take you to take a bath and change your clothes.” Luo Yiwu said. After dinner, they began to tour the island. “That Big Machine kept on rumbling. Once a stone entered it, it actually turned into sand. It’s amazing.” “That’s called a sand grinder. ” “And that Iron Horse, it’s too big. It can actually transport over ten thousand Jin at one time.” “It’s not called Iron Horse, it’s called car. I heard that it’s a Dong Feng brand.” “How did the water in the lake fly up from the bottom?” “That’s called a water pump. It can pump water from low to high, from far to near. ” “Uncle – Master, look, what’s that? it looks like a swing, and it can actually hang such a big guy?” “A crane ...” …… The tour continued on the second day, and on the third morning, Dongfang Ming brought Luo Yiwu to Tang Wen’s living room. Tang Wen realized that Dongfang Ming’s popularity was slightly leaning towards him. This meant that the two days of experience had been effective. “Lord Jue, there are many things here that are very magical. It’s really eye – opening.” Dongfang Ming said with a sigh. “Hehe, there will be even more amazing things in the future. As long as you’re willing to stay, you’ll be able to see it in the future. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “I’m starting to like this place. I heard that Lord Jue is planning to let me be an old Constable?” Dongfang Ming asked. “Of course. However, call the police instead of the constables.” Tang Wen said. “My conditions aren’t high. My family and disciples add up to four thousand taels a year, and I still have to give them two hundred middle – grade spirit pills. Furthermore, I have three of my disciples, including Huang Zhong. Their medical skills aren’t bad, and they can even concoct some simple medicinal pills. All the herbs we’ve collected in the mountains these past few years were all picked by them, so the total of four thousand taels is not much. ” Dongfang Ming said. “I don’t intend to hire anyone.” Tang Wen shook his head.
