Chapter 112 Do you use elite soldiers as gatekeepers?
Unknown to Hardy, Lady Anna has become friends with Lady Patience.
After bidding farewell to the two beauties, he returned to the manor and continued working on his development plan.
The current Hukaro City has its own way of operating, and he does not want to change it for the time being.
There is no way to change it until there are enough available manpower.
When people start doing business, time will pass quickly.
Occasionally he would spend two or three days at home making plans, and occasionally he would go to the city for two or three days to conduct private inspections.
Drink in the tavern and listen to the boasts of the drunkards and bards.
Don’t underestimate these street guys in the tavern. As long as you eliminate the useless information in their mouths, what is left is what has happened or is happening in this city.
Through the mouths of these drunkards and bards, Hardy got to know many "reputable" people.
Then a month passed quickly.
The construction progress of the drainage canal in Hukaro City has exceeded one-third, and it is estimated that it can be completed before the cold winter comes.
At the same time, on Hardy's side, Rogge finally came back with more than 300 people.
In addition to a group of veterans, there are also a group of new recruits, enough to form an organization of two hundred people.
The others are all tenant farmers who plan to naturalize in Hukaro City.
This was Hardy's previous promise.
Following Rogge were the old housekeeper Jack and the head maid Lillian.
And... Little Tompus.
Jack, the old butler, looked at Hardy with tears streaming down his face. He kept saying that if the old master was still alive, he would be very, very happy to see that little Hardy has now become a viscount.
The head maid didn't think too much, she just looked at Hardy lovingly.
After they chatted with Hadi for a while, the two immediately began to take over the management of the Lord's Mansion.
With the two of them here, Hardy finally felt that the Lord's Mansion felt a bit like 'home'.
As for Little Tompson, he was called into the study by Hardy.
“I can’t believe that you actually climbed into the Jeanne family... became a viscount, and even became the lord of Hukaro City.”
Little Tompson looked at Ha Di, his eyes were full of admiration.
He really didn't understand why Hardy, his playmate, had changed so much recently.
"According to the intelligence I collected, are you still a Nightmare Knight?"
Hady sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Yes, we have a Nightmare Saddle at home. I tried Fusion is successful.”
There is no need to hide the fact that he is a Nightmare Knight.
“I feel like you are like the protagonist in a knight’s biography, with legendary experiences and abilities.”
"Don't brag about me so much, I won't give you a higher salary." Hardy waved his hand and made a joke, and then said seriously: "I transferred you from Hexi County just because I want you to help me here. Set up another intelligence system. I suspect that other nobles have planted secret agents here."
Little Tompson's eyes narrowed: " Who is so bold as to break the hidden rules among nobles? "
"I just have this feeling, I don't know who it is. Also, you have to help me collect the tax status of various industries. . ”
People cannot be all-rounders. Hardy has the ability to collect intelligence on his own, but he is not very powerful.
“Leave these matters to me, don’t worry.” Little Tompson became obviously excited: “I will give you the results within a month.”
"You will take my coat of arms later, go to the warehouse at the back and pick up a box of gold coins to work."
Little Tompson asked carefully: "How many gold coins are there in a box?"
“Two hundred!”
Hiss!
Little Tompson took a deep breath first, and then he immediately laughed ferociously: "With this much money, I can make the entire Hukaro City under your control within a month. Under surveillance. Not to mention tax evasion, I will investigate clearly for you whether they take off their clothes or pants first when they have sex at night.”
"It doesn't have to be like this..." Hardy felt a little funny, and then he heard a knock on the door.
The head maid Lillian came in and said with a smile: "Master, there is a man named Bing Xixi who requests to see you, saying that there is something important that requires your decision. ”
Huh?
It doesn’t make sense. It’s just about supervising the construction of drainage canals. With Bing Xixi’s ability, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Hardy was very surprised and said: "Invite him to come here."
Lillian turned and left.
Little Dompson stood up: "Then I'll do something first."
As an intelligence officer, Little Dompson has a very professional ethics. He knows that there are some things that he cannot do. Convenient for listening.
Hardy nodded.
Not long after Little Tompson went out, Xixi came in.
He was wearing leather armor, with a long sword on his waist, and a scowl on his face.
"Your Excellency Hardy, we are having some trouble building drainage channels."
"Sit down and talk." Hardy pointed to the chair opposite him.
Sitting down Xixi, he took a breath and told the reason for the matter.
It turned out that in order to make the construction progress faster, he followed the suggestions of netizens and divided more than 100 tenant farmers into three teams to carry out construction in three directions at the same time.
This is a good thing, the construction progress has indeed been accelerated.
According to this progress, it can definitely be completed before winter comes. After all, for tenant farmers, working in the cold winter is a hard job, and Xi Xi does not want this to happen.
But just this morning, the construction team in the north of the city was beaten by a large group of people.
Three people died, a dozen were seriously injured, and the rest were all minor injuries.
When Hardy heard this, his expression condensed: "What the hell is going on."
Bing Xixi said: "The food of the construction team is very good, and they squatted on the roadside to eat. After a long time, a lot of Street runners are jealous...I didn't pay attention at first, but I didn't expect that as time went by, this jealousy became stronger and stronger, and finally..."< br>
Hardy frowned: "A bunch of street gangsters? It can't be those sewer rats involved."
Normally speaking, street gangsters are annoying, but they are usually just three or five. They were just a group. They were still in their thirties and forties, so they should not have the upper hand against the tenant farmers who were well fed, clothed, and doing manual labor.
“I think so too, there must be someone behind this.”
"Where are those people who beat people?"
"They were all scattered. When I arrived, I could only trace a few people."
"Why not arrest them for questioning."
"They are hiding in the trading house!"
"So you come to ask me how to deal with it?" Hardy's voice was obviously higher: "I assigned you thirty elite soldiers, you just For janitors? ”
Xixi felt a little ashamed. Although he was followed by millions of netizens offering advice, this was the first time he had "power" in the true sense.
So he doesn’t dare to do things that in his opinion are ‘out of line’.
"I understand." Xixi stood up.
Hardy continued: "Go to Sheriff Li Shaoer and ask him to bring people to cooperate with your actions. Just say it is my order."
He nodded with a firm expression. Get up and walk out of the Lord's Mansion.
In his live broadcast room, netizens were filled with outrage.
‘Those who dare to bully civilians, those who dare to harm civilians, kill, kill, kill! ’
