Thousands of sparks

Chapter 122
For more than four hundred years since the founding of the empire, there has been a rebel Salvador, and the Heraldry Management Office was born after the rebel Salvador was killed by His Majesty Justinian.And after the Heraldry Management Office officially became the empire's internal counter-espionage and counter-rebellion organization, several high-ranking nobles were executed in succession for attempting to rebel.

The so-called good fighters have no great achievements. Under the supervision of the Heraldry Management Office, no rebellion has ever been "successfully launched".Those nobles who planned a rebellion and were already preparing for it would end up with gallows or guillotine in the end.With its own efficiency and professionalism, the Heraldry Management Office firmly nailed the word "rebel" to El Salvador.

With such an efficient professional organization, in theory, there is no possibility of Nuisal's rebellion succeeding.Even the Mr. Duke who was guillotined by Du Sande, his great cause of rebellion has only progressed to the stage of "purchasing three large cruisers from the alliance".

To be honest, even without Dusand and without the intervention of the Newsail Coat of Arms Management Office... Even if the warship ordered by the Duke of Saar actually arrived in Newsail, it would be impossible to beat the battle with two battleships and four battle lines. Cruisers, six large cruisers and 27 destroyers and frigates for the Newsail Garrison Navy.

The most powerful family in Nusaal, and possibly the richest duke, rebelled on the scale.And he was eventually sent to the capital Olin to be beheaded for public display.

The No. [-] Noble had just died in Orin's orbit, and exploded into fireworks with the command of the Second Fleet of the Royal Guards of the Imperial Navy.

None of the remaining twenty earls had their own "ideals".They unanimously chose to make themselves and their descendants "safe waste" who are keen on salons and balls.

Among the viscounts of Newsail, there is one and only Bourne who has some weight in the entire political system of Newsail.And he also died on Orin.

So... who else can raise this banner of rebellion?Du Sande looked at the sky speechlessly, as if it looked like only his parents could do things.

No wonder the Star Sea Federation would try to get on the line with itself.

However, it is understandable for the Star Sea Federation to not be able to figure this out. How could the empire misjudge this kind of matter?It is absolutely impossible for them to do this for themselves, Androni, and Duchamp.

Dusand drove the car and rushed back to the "war room" of the Newsail Coat of Arms Management Office in the shortest possible time.It has become the gathering center for the entire Newsail legislative and administrative system.Since the Marquis Party has more than two-thirds of the seats in the House of Commons, in theory, any bill proposed by Androni can be passed directly in the House of Commons.

In the absence of the Governor, the entire Colonial Hall needs to be directly dispatched by the various committees of the House of Commons.For the first time since its pioneering in 170, Newsail had a very efficient administrative system.

The red-clothed postmen in various cities directly assumed the responsibility of some grassroots civil servants. As long as any individual, enterprise, association or organization had any "hesitation" or "resistance" to the order of Upper Albin, the red-clothed postman would not be polite. take people away.

"Control" is in full swing, and all factories and grain merchants in Newsale have received orders from Upper Albin - all goods are sealed up in situ, and all other goods need to be delivered by postmen in red except for the stock of daily sales. and administrative departments for statistics and approval.

The control is currently only aimed at sellers, and the impact on those families who can only work every day and then buy rations with their daily wages should not be too great.However, according to the reports of the heraldry management offices in various places, there has been a wave of unemployment in various cities.

In just one day, there were more than 24 unemployed people in the 40 major cities in Newsail.They might have been working in a factory a few minutes earlier, expecting the day's earnings to bring home two loaves of bread for their families.As a result, after the postmen in red rushed to the scene to announce the "control", the employers directly announced the decision to "fire" to them.

These workers who worked for several hours were just driven out of the factory.There is no salary, and they are also notified that "if the factory restarts operations, it will start recruiting workers again, and you can sign up."

And not even a penny of wages.

Such unreasonable treatment certainly aroused the dissatisfaction and even anger of a large number of workers.But the factory owners all said helplessly, "This is all the request of the postmen in red."Factories shut down, and workers naturally lost their jobs.

The factory owners were very innocent. Under their "guidance", the unemployed workers naturally blamed the postmen in red for the reason they lost their jobs.

The largest steelworks in Newsail, Lemuel Steelworks, laid off [-] workers in one go.And these steel workers directly launched a riot against the Lemuel Arms Management Office and the administrative agency.The crowd poured straight into the main street, smashed a dozen steam carriages, and set fire to the Lemire post office.

Fortunately, the postmen in red responded in a timely manner. They had already discovered that something was wrong when the angry workers rushed out of the steel plant, and they evacuated the post office in advance.

If they hadn't evacuated early, the postmen in red, equipped with a steam knight and a large number of light weapons, would have caused a large number of casualties in this riot where unemployed workers vented their anger.

When he heard the news, Du Sande almost went numb.He really didn't expect that these factory owners could do things to such an extent in order to reduce "losses".Especially steelmaking plants... Those steelmaking furnaces are not equipment that can be shut down casually. Once the heating is stopped, the slag and molten steel in the furnace will directly solidify.The result is that the entire furnace needs to be scrapped and replaced.

How dare they dismiss all the workers?

Fortunately, this news was sent to Androni first, and she responded quickly.

"Arrest the manager, chairman and all other managements who agreed to stop the work and fire the workers of the Lemuel Steel Plant." Androni is no longer a "moderate" and "compromising" politician in this incident. style.Without hesitation, she directly used an iron fist, "Throw them all into Upper Albin Prison and let the court try it immediately-I don't care if you sue them for tax evasion, excreting waste without permission or violating traffic regulations, I have only two requests."

Androni raised her eyebrows and ordered with murderous intent, "First, I want each of them to be charged with 'undermining control and abetting riot'. Second, all their property, all confiscated!"

When Dusand came back, Androni had already sent this order to the coat of arms management offices in various places through the postal system in the name of the House of Commons of Newsail.After seeing this order, Du Sande held back for a long time before uttering a word.

"My mother has the ability to stabilize the country."

If Dusande were to do this, the means he would take might be more extreme than Androni's.Dusande himself would never let it go without hanging a bunch of capitalists who took the opportunity to disrupt society from the street lamps.

But after calming down and thinking about it again, Du Sande also had to admit that the methods of his mother, who has the ability to stabilize the country, are actually more deterrent than Du Sande's "physical annihilation".

She did not physically destroy the bodies of these bastard capitalists, but Androni directly used administrative and judicial resources to dig out the roots of these capitalists who were most proud of or drove them to disrupt society.

What are capitalists most afraid of?Of course, I am afraid of losing my own capital.Confiscating all their assets is worse than killing them.

More importantly, this operation can greatly deter other capitalists who are still in the wait-and-see stage and are not in a hurry to make a move.Androni used practical actions to vividly and concretely reveal a consequence to these capitalists who own factories and employ a large number of workers.

Factories shutting down or maintaining minimal production can be a pain in the ass.

But if you dare to fire all the workers and instigate them to make trouble, Madam Speaker can confiscate your last penny and make you poor like those workers.

"Your way of handling this is very good." Du Sande expressed his praise and praise to Androni without concealment, "This can completely deter those factory owners, and it can indeed maintain social stability."

"I think you're going to say a 'but' next." Androni put down the dip pen in her hand, and said a little tiredly, "I'm asking the Internal Affairs Committee to discuss the way to appease the workers...that Esco Can Val be released first? Without such a person, there are indeed some problems in implementing the order of the Internal Affairs Committee."

Commissioner Escobar is still locked up in the cell of the Arms Administration.According to the previous investigation of the Heraldry Administration, this Mr. Director does have a lot of problems.

But none of them are "serious" problems.Contrary to Dusand's expectations, this seemingly greedy Director of the Interior Bureau did not have much bad deeds - there must be sporadic corruption, but it seems that the Bureau of Internal Affairs has been poor for too long , He has been in office for so many years, and he has embezzled a total of 470 gold pounds, an average of 31 gold pounds a year.

It's not that petty corruption is not a crime, but compared with other arrested corrupt criminals, Escobar's corruption seems like a child's play.

Even if he embezzled education funds to build the bronze statue, he didn't deduct any benefits for himself-the director even put more than 200 gold pounds into it himself.

Dusande thought for a moment, then nodded, "Escobar's situation is almost investigated. There are minor problems, but there are no particularly serious problems. Now the situation is special, and it is good for him to return to his position and continue to work. .”

After chatting with Androni for a few more words, Dusand turned around and walked towards the prison.Escobar was arrested under his order, so naturally he should be released now.
