Chapter 64 It's time to set up a police hall
“Master, we used to have few people, only about a hundred, so we could handle anything that happened simply.
It’s different now. There are more than 2,000 people now, and with so many people and so many gossips, there will always be some conflicts between neighbors.
What happened today has happened before, for example, someone lost a mirror or someone's clothes disappeared while hanging out to dry.
There was no fight before, just a quarrel.
If you have to handle everything yourself, you will be exhausted." Zhan Junru said.
"That's right. The master has too many things to do on a daily basis. For example, the dam, the training ground, and those machines all require the master to command. Such trivial matters can be handled by the constables." Gu Hanyan also said.
“This is a good idea, we need to raise funds for this matter.
However, we don’t call it the Bu Tang. If we do, it will cause misunderstanding to the court.
Do you think we are setting up a private government office to rebel?" Tang Wen shook his head.
"What should we do then?" asked Zhan Junru.
“It’s called the Police Hall, which is what Westerners call it, and the members inside are all called policemen.
In the future, the division of labor within the police station will be further subdivided. For example, the police who handle small matters like the one just mentioned will be called public security police.
If someone is injured or seriously injured, the criminal police must be called in to handle the situation.
Also, for example, as there are more cars in the future, we will have to post traffic police.
For example, if two carriages collide with each other, it will be the traffic police’s business…” Tang Wen said.
"This is a very novel idea. Westerners are really amazing." Luo Yiwu nodded and said, "Master, I have a candidate."
"Oh, tell me about it." Tang Wen asked.
“My junior brother Dongfang Ming used to be the deputy chief constable of Yuling County. He is also a chivalrous man who is not afraid of power.
As a result, he offended someone and was fired. I'm not exaggerating, he has handled many big cases.
He also captured the famous thief Cao Shangfei, who was quite famous in Yuling County back then." Luo Yiwu said.
"How is your skill? If the police chief's skill is too low, he won't be able to catch the bad guys." Tang Wen said.
"Not bad, the seventh level is perfect. Although his skills are a bit lacking, he is smart and has experience in handling cases. After all, he has worked in the government office for ten years." Luo Yi said martial arts.
"Where is the person now?" Tang Wen asked.
"After he was fired, he retired to the mountains to practice Buddhism. I haven't seen him for several years.
He also heard about what happened with my Shuangjian Sect some time ago, so he rushed back.
However, we left in a hurry that day and he hadn't returned home yet.
When I left, I left a letter for his family, and now they should be arriving in Koh Samui soon." Luo Yi said.
"Okay, call him over as soon as he arrives. He is the deputy chief of our Samui Island Police Department." Tang Wen said.
"However, it might be difficult to ask him to sell himself to the Tang family. Because, like me, he is a martial arts scholar, and he has also served as deputy chief constable. He is also a proud person." Luo Yiwu said.
"Haha, weren't you unwilling at that time? Have you changed a little now?" Tang Wen laughed and found that the popularity above Luo Yiwu's head was tilted more towards him. It was 80 degrees when he first came, and now it is 60 degrees.
Of course, Luo Yiwu has not completely sided with him yet.
Tang Wen was not in a hurry. He thought that Luo Yiwu would make the right choice when life got better in the future.
"Your Excellency is an extraordinary person. I admire you." Luo Yiwu said with a fist salute.
"Let's talk about setting up a police department after your junior brother arrives, and he will select the personnel." Tang Wen said, "But, Yiwu, were you a martial arts candidate before?
He is literate and has served as the head of a sect. He has a good understanding of the overall situation and a strong sense of the overall situation.
So, what do you think of your position in Koh Samui?
"I listen to you, sir." Luo Yiwu replied.
“Zhan Dongwen is not as capable as you, but he is still capable of managing certain aspects.
However, the overall view is still a bit lacking. After all, this has to do with people's vision, experience, and knowledge.
Therefore, I am going to appoint you as the chief steward of Samui Island, in charge of all affairs of Samui Island." Tang Wen said.
"My Lord, you think highly of me. I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly." Luo Yiwu was a little excited. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists towards Tang Wen. The popularity on his head was even higher.
"You, Li Liao, and Dong Wen are all my right-hand men. Your monthly allowance is set at ten taels, plus five mid-grade elixirs." Tang Wen said.
"Thank you, sir!" Luo Yiwu supported himself on the ground with his hands and kowtowed.
“Yiwu, Koh Samui is still under development and has not yet developed.
Master, I am also short of money. When I have more money in the future, I will increase your salary.
Don't even mention ten taels, thirty taels, or even three hundred taels is possible." Tang Wen stretched out his hand to help him up.
"Yiwu is satisfied." Luo Yiwu's eyes were wet. At this moment, the popularity tilted to 30 degrees, and almost prostrated towards Tang Wen.
"Are you used to living here?" Tang Wen asked.
"It's very good, my wife said, especially the water heater, which is amazing.
What came out was actually hot water, it came out as soon as it was turned on, and the water temperature could even be adjusted.
And that mirror, it seems like there is a person inside it, it's so real.
That light is so useful and bright...
Master, you are truly a god." Luo Yiwu said in amazement.
"At present, no fixed houses have been built, so everyone can only share. In the future, everyone will have a house, and then every family will install their own water heater." Tang Wen said with a smile.
On the afternoon of the third day, Dongfang Ming and his family arrived as expected.
Moreover, he also brought more than twenty of his disciples.
“My junior brother’s disciples are all strong, all of them are seventh or eighth grade.
Moreover, he has been practicing in the mountains for several years, and his skills are even higher than mine. He is fully qualified to be the deputy chief of the police hall.
However, I just sounded out his reaction and he probably won't sell himself, he's only willing to join.
In other words, the Tang family pays the money and they do the work.
Besides, Junior Brother means that the money you pay should be worthy of his skills." Luo Yiwu went into the house first and greeted Tang Wen secretly.
"How much do you want?" Tang Wen asked.
"The annual salary is estimated to be five hundred taels, and they are also required to provide a batch of elixirs for their cultivation. Do you want to call him in immediately?" Luo Yiwu said.
"No rush, arrange for him to stay first. Then take him to visit our Samui Island and let him experience the difference of our Samui Island firsthand." Tang Wen said.
"I understand!" Luo Yiwu nodded thoughtfully.
"Junior brother, you must have been exhausted from the long journey.
This is a public toilet. Go to the toilet first and then go to the bathroom to take a bath.
Change into clean clothes and follow me to the cafeteria for dinner. I will show you around Koh Samui first..."
Luo Yiwu is a very qualified "shill".
"Master, why don't their toilets smell bad?" said the second disciple Lin Jiaojiao with a look of surprise.
"Not only is it fragrant, but it's also so clean that you can't even see any feces or urine." said the third disciple Ning Feng.
"This is what the master did by copying the Western way. Come, I'll take you to take a bath and change clothes." Luo Yiwu said.
After dinner we started to explore the island.
"That big machine was rumbling, and the rocks turned into sand once they went in. It was amazing."
“It’s called a sand crusher.”
"And the iron horse is so huge that it can carry tens of thousands of pounds at a time."
"It's not called a bicycle, it's called a car. I heard it's a Dongfeng brand."
"How did the water in the lake fly from the bottom to the top?"
"That's called a water pump. It can pump water from a low place to a high place, or from far away to near."
"Uncle Master, look, what is that? It looks like a swing. It can actually hang up such a big thing?"
"crane……"
…
The tour continued the next day. On the morning of the third day, Dongfang Ming took Luo Yiwu to Tang Wen's reception room.
Tang Wen discovered that Dongfang Ming's popularity was slightly tilted towards him, which showed that the two-day visit experience was effective.
"Sir, many of the things here are amazing and really eye-opening." Dongfang Ming sighed after saying hello.
"Haha, there will be even more amazing things in the future. As long as you are willing to stay, you will be able to see them in the future." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I do like this place quite a bit. I heard that the lord is planning to let me do my old job as a constable?" Dongfang Ming asked.
"Of course, but don't call them constables, call them police," said Tang Wen.
“My requirements are not high. My family and disciples combined will receive 4,000 taels per year, plus 200 mid-grade elixirs.
Moreover, there are three doctors among my disciples. They are good at medicine and can even prepare some simple pills.
They collected all the herbs we had in the mountains for the past few years, so four thousand taels is not a lot." Dongfang Ming said.
"I don't plan to hire anyone." Tang Wen shook his head.
