Chapter 692 The next development of Black Snake Bay
"Seeing that the two dukes were defeated, the rest of the nobles began to take sides." Meliati frowned, "The new master has not yet ascended the throne, and they will start to show their loyalty.
The nobles of Xianshiden have been a little dishonest recently, and many cavalry and spies have begun to try to bypass the defense line and enter Hotam County to investigate intelligence. There have been three cases this month alone. ”
In addition, there are many spies pretending to be businessmen or simply sneaking in from France and starting to incite the nobles and knights within us.
I found several nobles who were secretly communicating with the church. Unfortunately, there was not enough evidence, so I had to exile them to Mountain County. ”
Horn suddenly realized that no wonder the Cheka Commissioner said a few days ago that Meliati had suddenly exiled several nobles for no reason.
Cheka didn't know that Meliati had mind-reading powers, so they thought it was the result of some political struggle.
"Do you think the Leians will invade within the year?"
"That's not true, it's just that their pace is expected to accelerate, and our time is getting less and less." Meliati, "How long are you going to stay in Black Snake Bay?"
Horn thought for a moment: "I guess I should go back before the rainy season comes."
At the beginning of the rainy season in Black Snake Bay, he will gradually stabilize the order and begin to promote the sugar and spice trade.
The specific measure was to rely on the funds raised by the United Spice Company to massively promote plantations and sugar mills.
This kind of sugar-pressing workshop has low technical content and can recruit local labor on a large scale. The small and regular brown sugar is much easier to transport than sweet branches.
After mastering the tariffs and buying and selling channels, Horn could quietly complete the distribution of benefits without being seen clearly.
In this way, a group of beneficiaries under the existing system can be cultivated, that is, the plantation owners.
Although they use slaves on a large scale, they are still a production-oriented wizarding secret party, unlike some secret parties who are purely plundering.
Their behavior of using slaves is inconsistent with the "freedom" proposition of the Holy Order, but for now, we can only hold our noses and cooperate with them first.
After obtaining such a group of supporters, the God's Punishment Army will be replenished to full strength within this year, and then Horn will begin to issue an "Emergency Public Security Order" and launch an attack on the criminal secret parties within Black Snake Bay.
A series of clandestine parties such as abduction, assassination on orders, robbery of merchant ships, etc. were all swept into the garbage dump by the God's Punishment Army and sent to the rainforest in the eastern county to be reclaimed and transformed by the Holy Trinity Education Team.
After these criminal secret parties are expelled, Horn can enact another "Child Slave Act" to refuse the use of underage slaves, keep those who agree, and purge a group of those who oppose it.
In a few years, there will be another "Black Snake Bay People Slave Act", which will not allow the locals of Black Snake Bay to be used as slaves and continue to be cut and purged.
By repeating this process, it is estimated that it will take 20 to 30 years to eliminate the slavery system in Black Snake Bay.
"The people of Black Snake Bay have a tradition of preferring death to cooperating with the church to engage in legal behavior. Are you sure this can change their minds?" Meliati raised her eyebrows half-jokingly, with a hint of disapproval of Black Snake Bay in her tone. People's distrust, "after all, crime is the essence of their culture."
"I have seen many secret parties that cooperate with the church in the southern county, and there are not a few secret parties and wizards doing legal business in Black Snake Bay." Horn's eyes were bright, "It's not so much that they don't want to engage in legal business. You cannot engage in legal industries. "Human nature is all about profit. Everyone wants to live in a big house, wear nice clothes, and be respected and respected everywhere.
The human and divine gold of Black Snake Bay belongs to divine gold, but divine gold also has demands.
The original intention of this commandment is to raise the bottom line and prevent the Black Snake Bay Secret Party from completely becoming the dogs of the church.
If strictly speaking, wizards should not even be allowed to open plantations. Aren't they still doing spice trade with the nobles and the church?
Almost done.
However, relatively speaking, the chaotic and unorganized personality of these natives needs to be changed.
"Regarding future tariffs and possible compensation, more than two-thirds will be used to build water conservancy and infrastructure in Black Snake Bay, including some dams and barrages." He stood up and took down a piece of Black Snake from the bookcase beside him. Bay Map, "I will recruit a large number of local residents, and even use a bonded labor model to forcibly inject lawful genes."
Large-scale civil engineering is one of the most powerful means of shaping collective and disciplinary ideas.
In addition to large-scale civil engineering projects, there will also be two quarter-staffed territorial regiments set up in addition to the God's Punishment Army.
Horn intentionally set up a tax-free battle group farm to serve as a home for soldiers, absorbing and training a large number of local men as skitarii or reserve forces.
In the process of training, a lot of discipline is bound to be brought in. Although the basic jump cannot be changed, as long as the general direction can be controlled, it doesn't hurt to let go of the details a little.

"With such a strict law on public security, I guess many old people will attack you in groups." Meliaty looked at the map in Horn's hand with complicated eyes, "Especially those secret parties who make money from chaos. , they have long been accustomed to this kind of disordered freedom, and being suddenly restrained may make them feel that their end has come.”
Horn just chuckled and spread out the map: "Then let them try. I implement these laws not to please them, but to give this place a future.
Real power does not rely on the compromises of a small group of privileged people, but rather benefits the majority and makes order more beneficial to everyone.
As for the old people, they either choose to change, or they can only be eliminated by this era... Speaking of which, I am leading a banquet tonight with the old people. Almost all the witches will be there, and they are interested in being my bodyguards. ? ”
"Of course, this is the first time that little Jeanne and I have attended the same banquet." Meliati looked at Horn with a smile, "Will the banquet be held according to the empire's tradition or the Black Snake Bay tradition? What?”
"It's the tradition of Black Snake Bay. When you go to a place, you should follow the local customs." Horn said with a bright smile on his face.
"Then I have a question. In the tradition of Black Snake Bay, the host of the banquet must invite an unmarried young woman he thinks is the most beautiful present as the queen of the banquet, and open the first bottle of wine together. This person, do you want to invite Who? ”
The bright smile on Horn's face froze for an instant, and the next second, cold sweat broke out on the ground.
With the last bit of hope, he asked tremblingly: "I remember that the invitation letter has not been sent out yet? Is there still time to change it now?"
"What do you think?" Meliyati's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning and joking, "As the host of the banquet, you cannot be absent."
