"Sir, we used to have a small number of people, just a hundred or so. Whatever happened, we could simply handle it.
It's different now. There are more than 2,000 people here. People talk a lot, and there will always be some conflicts between neighbors.
Things like what happened today have happened before. For example, someone lost a mirror, and someone's clothes disappeared while they were drying.
There was no fighting before, just a quarrel.
If you have to handle everything personally, you will be exhausted," Zhan Junru said.
"That's true. There are too many things that I have to do on a daily basis. For example, the dam, the training ground, and the machines all need to be commanded by me. Just arrange for the police to handle such trivial matters." Gu Hanyan also said.
.
“This is a good idea, but we need to raise funds for this aspect.
However, we don't call it "Zhaotang". If we call it "Zhaitang", it will misunderstand the court.
Do you think that by setting up a private yamen, we want to rebel?" Tang Wen shook his head.
"What should we do?" Zhan Junru asked.
"It's called the Police Hall, as Westerners call it, and the members inside are all called policemen.
In the future, we will have to subdivide the division of labor within the police station. For example, the police who handle trivial matters like this are called security police.
If someone is injured or a major death occurs, the criminal police must be called to handle it.
Also, for example, if there are more cars in the future, traffic police will have to be established.
For example, if two carriages collide, it is a matter for the traffic police..." Tang Wen said.
"This idea is very novel. Westerners are really amazing." Luo Yiwu nodded and said, "Sir, I do have a candidate."
"Oh, tell me." Tang Wen asked.
"My junior brother Dongfang Ming used to be the deputy chief arrest officer of Yuling County. He is also a chivalrous person and is not afraid of power.
As a result, he offended someone and was fired. I'm not bragging, he has handled quite a few big cases.
He also caught a gangster and was quite famous in Yuling County back then." Luo Yiwu said.
"How is your skill? As a police chief, your skill is too low to catch big bad guys." Tang Wen said.
"It's not bad, he has reached the seventh level. Although his skills are a bit lacking, he has a sharp mind and experience in handling cases. After all, he has been working in the Yamen for ten years." Luo Yiwu said.
"Where is he now?" Tang Wen asked.
"Back then, after he was expelled, he went into seclusion in the mountains to practice cultivation. I haven't seen him for several years.
He also heard about my Shuangjianmen incident some time ago, so he rushed back.
However, we left in a hurry that day and others hadn’t arrived home yet.
I left a letter for his family when I left, and I am probably arriving in Koh Samui soon," said Luo Yiwu.
"Well, call him over as soon as he arrives. He will be the deputy chief of our Koh Samui Police Hall." Tang Wen said.
"However, it may be difficult for him to sell himself to the Tang family. Because, like me, he is a martial arts scholar, and he also served as a deputy chief arrest officer. He is also a proud person." Luo Yiwu said.
"Haha, weren't you unwilling at the time? Have things changed now?" Tang Wen said with a smile, and found that Luo Yiwu's popularity tilted more toward him. It was 80 degrees when he first came, and now it is at an angle of 80 degrees.
It's 60 degrees.
Of course, Luo Yiwu hasn't completely favored him yet.
Tang Wen is not in a hurry, Luo Yiwu will make the right choice when life gets better in the future.
"Sir Sir Alex is a great man, I admire Yiwu." Luo Yiwu said with his fists clasped.
"We will wait until your junior brother arrives to discuss the establishment of the police hall, and he will select the personnel." Tang Wen said, "But, Yiwu, were you a former martial arts examiner?
He is well-read and literate, and has also been a leader. He knows the general picture and has a strong overall view.
So, what do you think about your position in Koh Samui?”
"I listen to Sir Sir," Luo Yiwu replied.
"Zhan Dongwen's ability is not as good as yours, but he is still good at one aspect.
However, the overall view is still a bit poor. After all, it has something to do with people's vision, experience, knowledge, etc.
Therefore, I am going to task you as the general manager of Samui Island and take charge of all affairs of Samui Island." Tang Wen said.
"Your Majesty thinks highly of me, I'm so willing to give up." Luo Yiwu was a little excited. He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists towards Tang Wen. His head was even more popular.
"You, Li Liao, and Dong Wen are all my right-hand men. Your monthly payment is set at twelve taels per month, plus five middle-grade elixirs." Tang Wen said.
"Thank you, Master!" Luo Yiwu put his hands on the ground and kowtowed.
"Yiwu, Koh Samui is under development, but it has not yet developed.
Master, I am also short of money. When I have more money in the future, I will give you a salary increase.
Don't say ten taels, thirty taels, or three hundred taels are 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 slope reached 30 degrees, and he almost fell to Tang Wen.
"Are you getting used to living here?" Tang Wen asked.
"Very good, my wife said, especially the water heater is amazing.
What comes out is hot water, water comes out as soon as it is turned on, and the water temperature can be adjusted.
And that mirror, it seems like there's a person in it, it's so real.
That electric light works so well, so bright...
Master, you are truly a god." Luo Yiwu said with a look of amazement.
"No fixed houses have been built yet, so everyone can only share the house. In the future, everyone will have a house, and then everyone 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.
Moreover, he also brought more than twenty of his disciples and disciples.
"My junior brother's disciples are not weak in martial arts, they are all seventh and eighth grade.
Moreover, he has been practicing in the mountains for several years, and his skills are actually higher than mine, and he is fully qualified to serve as the deputy chief of the police hall.
However, I just heard from him that selling myself is probably not possible, and he is only willing to join.
In other words, the Tang family pays and they do the work.
Moreover, junior brother wants the money you offer to be worthy of his skills." Luo Yiwu went into the room and secretly greeted Tang Wen.
"How much?" Tang Wen asked.
"The annual salary is estimated to be five hundred taels, and they are also required to provide a batch of pills for them to practice. Do you want to call him in right away?" Luo Yiwu said.
"Don't worry, you can arrange for him to stay first. Then take him to visit our island of Koh Samui and let him experience the difference of our island of Koh Samui." Tang Wen said.
"Understood!" Luo Yiwu nodded thoughtfully.
"Junior brother, it's been a long journey, you've worked too hard.
This is a public toilet. You need to go to the toilet first, and then go to the bathing room to take a bath.
Change into clean clothes and follow me to the cafeteria for dinner. I will show you Koh Samui first..."
Luo Yiwu is a very qualified 'trustee'.
"Master, why don't their toilets stink?" Second disciple Lin Jiaojiao said with surprise on her face.
"Not only does it smell good, but it's so clean that you can't even see the feces or urine." Third disciple Ning Feng said.
"This is what I copied from the Westerners. Let's go and take you to take a bath and change clothes." Luo Yiwu said.
After dinner, we started exploring the island again.
"The big machine was rumbling, and the stones turned into sand as soon as they were put in. It was amazing."
"That's called a sand crusher."
"And that iron horse is so big that it can transport tens of thousands of kilograms at a time."
"It's not called an iron horse, it's called a car. I heard it's a Dongfeng brand."
"Why is the water in the lake flying from the bottom to the top?"
"That's called a water pump. It can pump water from a low place to a high place, and from a distance to a nearby place."
"Master, look, what is that? It's like a swing, and it can actually lift such a big thing?"
"crane……"
…
The visit continued on the second day, and on the morning of the third day, Dongfang Ming brought Luo Yiwu to Tang Wen's reception room.
Tang Wen found that Dongfang Ming's popularity was slightly tilted towards him. This showed that the two-day visit experience was effective.
"Sir, many of the things you have here are very magical and really eye-opening." Dongfang Ming sighed after saying hello.
"Haha, there will be something more magical in the future. As long as you are willing to stay here, you can see it in the future." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I kind of like it here. I heard that Sir is planning to let me do my old job of catching a policeman?" Dongfang Ming asked.
"Of course, but don't call the police, call the police." Tang Wen said.
"My conditions are not high. My family and disciples add up to 4,000 taels per year, and I have to give them 200 middle-grade elixirs.
Moreover, there are three of my disciples, Liang Zhong. Their medical skills are not bad, and they can also prepare some simple elixirs.
All the medicine we have collected in the mountains these past few years is from them, so the total of four thousand taels is not much." Dongfang Ming said.
"I don't plan to hire anyone." Tang Wen shook his head.
