Heroes of Silver Moon

"To establish a plantation to grow cotton and hemp mulberry; to establish a farm to breed sheep, cows, chickens and other animals requires 1,500 mu of land, which can solve the employment problem of 15,000 people."

"Hiss, you are really generous!" The old king looked a little shocked.

There are less than 40,000 people in the slums. After the attacks of the previous few days, the number has dropped to about 30,000.

Solving the employment problem of 15,000 people is more than just solving the survival problem of 15,000 people.

You must know that although there are many abandoned orphans and elderly people without support in the slums, this does not mean that there are no healthy families in the slums.

In these healthy families, as long as one or two members are employed, the whole family will at least not go hungry.

The employment of 15,000 people basically solves the survival problem of the entire slum area.

If the problem of survival in the slums can be solved, then the crime rate in the capital will definitely drop significantly. After all, if there is a normal job, who will do those dirty things.

In addition, cotton and linen textiles, as well as what can be produced by cows, chickens, and sheep, wool, mutton, eggs, chicken, milk, and cream are just what the people need in their daily lives.

If these products flow into the capital in large quantities, it will definitely cause prices to drop.

This is not only good for the people in the slums, but also for ordinary people and lower-level nobles. It is a good plan that benefits the country and the people.

Although he was a little moved, the old king was still a little wary. He didn't think that a character like Simon would do good deeds so kindly.

The previous few encounters had made the old king see Simon clearly. This man's brain was a bit too flexible, and his scheming was also deep and terrifying.

And in the previous incident with the Hood family, the old king knew exactly what Simon did to the girl named Madeleine.

Once his core interests are threatened, he will not care about morality and righteousness.

But it is such a person, now he actually ran in front of the old king, saying that he wanted to use work for relief, build more jobs, and help the poor in the slums, you think it is not ridiculous!

"Why did you have this idea, why did you choose a poor area?" The old king looked at Simon.

After a little thought, Simon understood the concerns and doubts of the old king.

Fifteen hundred acres of land was not a small amount, and it was still on the outskirts of the capital. If he, Simon, wanted to do something secretly, the old king would have no time to cry.

As for creating jobs for the people in the slums, this is even more illogical.

Because most of the people in the slums are orphans, the elderly, the handicapped, and the young and middle-aged are pitiful. If they are asked to work as helpers, their mobility and work efficiency are far inferior to other people in the capital.

And regardless of nobles or businessmen, they all pay great attention to efficiency!

After pondering for a moment, Simon said slowly, "I was there when the attack occurred in the slums a few days ago!"

"I heard about this matter from that girl Irina, and I heard that she and you have been together."

"I know all about what happened at that time. Don't tell me that you felt it because you witnessed the tragedy. Then I will treat you as an idiot!" The old king interrupted rudely.

Simon shook his head with a wry smile, this His Majesty is really cautious!

"Since Your Majesty already knows what happened, has Princess Irina mentioned that there is a man named One-Eyed who lured those ghouls away in order to cover us!"

The old king frowned slightly: "Of course I heard about that."

"The promise made by that girl Irina before may be acceptable if it is a posthumous title of knight, but a hereditary manor is definitely not acceptable!"

Simon shook his head: "Your Majesty, I'm not here to ask for a reward for One-Eyed, I'm here to tell you that One-Eyed's mother is dead!"

The old king's body froze, and a little stunned expression appeared on his face: "How did you die?"

"He starved to death, starved to death on the hospital bed at home!"

Mentioning this matter, Simon still felt a dull pain in his heart: "One Eye is the belly of the family. His mother has been bedridden all year round and has lost her ability to move. After One Eye died, no one took care of her. That's why the old man... "

The old king was also a little silent: "Why is there no one to take care of it? The girl Irina told me before that the one-eyed man was entrusted to the three of you to take care of him before he died?"

Simon laughed self-deprecatingly: "Three people? I was seriously injured and dying, and I have been healing these days, so I gave some gold coins to the blood wolf and asked him to take care of him first, but he was taken away by the security station that day!"

"Why were you caught?"

"The leader of a certain gang in the slums imprisoned a noble woman as a slave. When the sheriff and the city guard went in to search, this matter was revealed, and the blood wolf's gang was also implicated!"

The old king stopped talking this time, and slowly tasted the bitter wine in his hand.

After a long time, the old king sighed slowly: "When that girl Irina came back, she was directly grounded by her mother!"

Simon nodded as expected, indicating that he had guessed the matter himself, so he didn't mean to blame Irina.

"In this case, the motive is there, but what is the purpose?"

After being a little sad, the old king turned the topic back to the business again: "Since we want to build a workshop, why do we need to build plantations and breeding farms?"

"You know, these things not only require a lot of manpower, but also they don't make much profit. Why not choose something with higher profit, such as building a paper workshop or something like that!"

Simon blinked and showed a wry smile: "Your Majesty, did you make a mistake!"

"I set up plantations and breeding farms not to make profits for myself, but simply to make a living for the people in the slums!"

"Furthermore, plantations and breeding farms of this scale can also bring benefits such as price reductions to other people in the capital, which is beneficial to all parties!"

The old king showed a trace of suspicion: "Is it really just for kindness?"

Simon looked sincerely: "All the profits from the plantation and breeding farms will be donated to the Moonlight Church!"

The old king suddenly realized, he said how could Simon get involved with the church!

The box suddenly fell into silence. The archbishop hadn't said a few words since he came in. Simon was eagerly looking forward to the old king's nod, while the old king was constantly weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, the old king suddenly sighed, and looked at Simon with complicated eyes: "You are very good, you are really good, and you really don't want to think about serving the crown prince as an attendant?"

Simon stared into the eyes of the old king calmly, and shook his head slowly: "The situation of the Hawke family is very difficult!"

"It's a pity, what a pity!" The old king shook his head helplessly.

Then he pulled out a ring from his hand and threw it directly into Simon's arms: "The king's seal ring, holding this ring is like the king's presence, go for it boldly!"

After finishing speaking, the old king turned around and walked out of the box.

When he was about to leave, the old king turned his head to look at Simon: "Very good, you really have made some progress!"

Seeing the disappearance of the old king, Simon had mixed feelings in his heart, and held the ring in his palm.

Mad, had he always been a self-serving **** in the eyes of others?

The archbishop got up and looked at Simon with strange eyes: "Do you know that if you serve as an attendant to the crown prince, you will at least be a royal minister after the crown prince ascends the throne!"

The corner of Simon's mouth twitched, and then he shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I have already obtained the qualifications to succeed the Pope, haven't I?"

The archbishop was taken aback for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the same!

You can already be the pope, do you still care about a mere royal minister?

Leaving the song and dance theater with the Archbishop, Simon did not follow the Cathedral of the Archbishop, but brought Cirillo to the security station near the slum area.

To do this well, he had to find a few good helpers first.

Entering the security station, a puff of smoke immediately made Simon frown.

The place that was supposed to be the reception hall, the wooden platform used to handle cases, was randomly piled up in the corner, and the floor was full of unknown garbage.

Several people who looked like sheriffs were gathering together to smoke and gamble. No one noticed that someone had already entered the security station.

After waiting for a minute, Simon found that there was still no one coming up to receive them, so he simply walked over to the few sheriffs who were gambling.

After walking to these people, someone finally noticed Simon.

I saw one person holding a gambling card, without even looking at Simon, and said lazily, "Aristocrat or commoner?"

The corner of Simon's mouth twitched, his heart was completely speechless: "Noble!"

The man continued to ask lazily, "Report or something else?"

Simon rolled his eyes, this is really straightforward!

"I'm here to catch people!" Simon said in a deep voice.

The sheriff heard that he was here to catch people, so he stretched out his right hand in front of Simon: "Five gold coins!"

Cirillo's face remained unchanged, as if he had long been used to the behavior of the sheriff.

But Simon was a little dissatisfied. These sheriffs were too corrupt, and they were completely incomparable with Blue Star's modern police!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Simon took out five gold coins from the space ring and handed them over.

As for why not use the king's seal ring?

Because Simon is very clear that under the general trend of corruption among all employees, if he cannot adapt to this environment, he will be suppressed by the whole world after all!

Seeing that Simon didn't even counter the price, he handed over five gold coins directly, and the sheriff who reached out to ask for a bribe was also taken aback in his heart.

There are many nobles in the capital, but the one who can hand over five gold coins without caring is either a fat sheep with a rich fortune, or a big dignitary who doesn't care about these.

"Do you want to kill him again?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, it was directly stifled by the sheriff.

Just kidding, if this is really a fat sheep, then everyone will be happy, but if it is a certain powerful person, then he is looking for death, so it is better to be safe!

He casually pointed to a security officer with junior qualifications and low status to lead the way for Simon. The security officer who asked for bribes casually distributed the gold coins in his hand to everyone.

Everyone looked happy, and then they gambled even more cheerfully.

Following the sheriff who led the way, he walked all the way towards the dungeon. Simon saw many sheriffs beating prisoners while coercing them to make their relatives pay bribes.

Even in some other prisons, some magistrates were still humiliating those female prisoners wantonly.

Simon looked at it with a heavy heart. He knew that many of the people here were extremely corrupt magistrates, and the scapegoats caught by them should be innocent in themselves!

This kind of situation, in the era of imperfect legal system and system, is simply too common!

The current system and productivity of the Silver Moon Kingdom are completely similar to those of the Middle Ages on Blue Star, and the law is **** to many people.

Corruption, embezzlement, bribery, and inaction are basically common problems that every official will have, and there will be no exceptions.

To change this situation, we can only carry out reforms from the top down, or carry out revolutions from the bottom up.

Change requires bloodshed, and revolution requires sacrifice. No matter which method is used, many people are destined to die!

All the way through the prison, Simon didn't see the blood wolf, so the few of them could only go on and go deeper into the prison.

The sheriff who was leading the way suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Simon looked at him suspiciously. The sheriff had an ugly face and said, "My lord, the next ones are all death row prisoners!"

"Oh, and then?" Simon glanced at him indifferently.

The security officer's expression kept changing, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "We need to pay more!"

Simon rolled his eyes, he thought these sheriffs had a bottom line!

He took another five gold coins casually, and the security officer immediately beamed with joy after getting the gold coins, and continued to lead the way.

In the gloomy and damp deep prison, the blood wolf's legs, feet and waist were shackled with enchanted chains, and the ends of the chains were fixed on the surrounding walls.

This is a special prison specially built to detain professional fighters.

The blood wolf was filthy and swollen with blood all over his body. In order to make money from him these days, those magistrates beat him a lot.

"Ah!" The blood wolf sighed again with pain and helplessness on his face.

After finally escaping from that dangerous situation, in the blink of an eye, because of the matter of the noble female family member, she was jointly captured by the magistrate and the city guards.

The gray gangs in the slums were almost all bloodbathed, and only a few of their gang bosses were caught and locked up in the security station.

On the one hand, this is to intimidate other gray forces in front of the people, so as to intimidate other gray forces. From now on, don't have any unreasonable thoughts about noble women.

On the other hand, it is also to search for the oil and water of their gray gangs.

Although the assets on the surface have been seized, it has always been dangerous to work with the gray forces. These gangs, more or less, have some assets hidden in the dark.

Bringing gang leaders like them to the cell to torture them is to extort their assets in this area.

"Hey, I don't know how the one-eyed mother is doing, and I don't know if Master Simon and His Highness the Princess have come to visit?" Blood Wolf's heart was full of bitterness.

The promise he had already promised, but he was imprisoned in the public security station, and it is estimated that he will be hanged in the near future.

How could he be worthy of One-Eyed!

"Da, da, da", the sound of footsteps came again in the dark and silent corridor.

The blood wolf took a deep breath, and was ready to be beaten severely next time!

"It's him!" A somewhat familiar voice suddenly made the blood wolf's eyes widen.

This voice seems to be...

"This!" Seeing the blood wolf imprisoned in the cell, the magistrate suddenly felt a little "difficult".

"Hey, tell me! How much does it cost!" Simon was already a little impatient at this time.

Since entering this security station, these people have been challenging his patience again and again, they really treat him like a fat sheep, right?

"My lord, it's a matter of a lot of money. The crime committed by this person is very special. He must be released with the nod of the Chief of Security!" the security officer said with a wry smile.

Simon looked impatient: "Isn't it the matter of the noble women's family? Bring him up first, and I'll talk to the sheriff directly!"

"This!" The sheriff rolled his eyes, still looking a little hesitant.

Simon took out another gold coin and threw it over. The sheriff immediately gave up his principles, took out the key and released the blood wolf.

"Master Simon!" The blood wolf walked out of the prison weakly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Where is your sheriff? Take me to see him!" After nodding to the blood wolf, Simon turned his head and said to the sheriff.

Following the magistrate, he walked through these prisons all the way again. The cries and begging for mercy of the prisoners, the triumphant laughter and threats of the magistrates made Simon extremely upset.

The current Simon is like a volcano that is about to erupt. As long as there is another Mars, it will erupt immediately.

Go to the second floor of the security office, where the magistrate rests and works. It is much cleaner than the first floor and the underground jail.

Walking towards the sheriff's room, the aisle was empty and seemed a little quiet.

"Ah!" Suddenly, there was a scream in the room at the end.

The door of the room was opened, and a little girl in messy clothes ran out, her face full of panic.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged security officer chased after him angrily: "Little bastard, you still dare to bite me. After playing with you today, I must all brothers taste what you are like!"

Seeing Simon and the others in the aisle, the little girl showed a hint of despair on her face, and the middle-aged security officer laughed grinningly: "Hey, you guys catch her for me!"

The little girl who was running away desperately had a hint of pleading in her eyes, and the sheriff who was leading the way next to Simon was also grinning grinningly and preparing to block the passage.

A gleam of coldness flashed in Simon's eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed the little girl.

Being caught by Simon, the little girl's face turned ashen. Thinking of what might happen next, she even wanted to commit suicide directly.

"Hey, that's not bad! Boy, let's go down to receive the reward later!" The middle-aged security officer walked over calmly with a satisfied smile on his face.

Simon lowered his head to look at the little girl who was caught, and found that she was no more than twelve years old at most, and her clothes were very messy. It was obvious that she was almost raped just now.

"What were you doing just now?" Simon looked at the middle-aged sheriff with a cold face.

The smile of the middle-aged magistrate faltered, wondering why the kid in front of him was going crazy.

Maybe it was to express himself, the security officer who led the way suddenly scolded: "What are you talking about, this is our chief of security!"

Simon glanced at him coldly: "Who do you think you are talking to, Cirillo, slap your mouth!"

Cirillo, who had been silently following behind Simon, suddenly turned cold, and shot directly without any scruples.

With a big mouth on his face, the sheriff's eyes were full of stars, most of the teeth in his mouth were blown out, and the huge force directly knocked him over to the ground.

"Wow!" The corner of Blood Wolf's mouth twitched, and he really didn't want to say anything more.

Beating up a magistrate like this in front of the chief of the sheriff in the sheriff's office, this young master Simon is simply a wolf, a little more than a ruthless person!

"You, you, you, do you know what you are doing!" The chief of security trembled from anger.

It was hard to catch a young girl who committed a crime, and she was brought back to the public security station to play with, but she was bitten by this chick and ran away, unexpectedly meeting such a madman.

In the police station under his jurisdiction, beating the magistrate like this, no matter how crazy it is, it is not so crazy!

Simon gave him a cold look: "Slap your mouth!"

Cirillo appeared in front of the sheriff in an instant, and the sheriff still wanted to resist, but how could a high-level fighter resist a top-ranked master fighter.

As if what happened just now was repeated, the sheriff was instantly slapped to the ground~www.readwn.com~ several teeth were knocked out.

"Cough!" The chief of security spat out a mouthful of blood, and he was completely stunned. His brain went blank, and he had no idea what happened.

"Say, what were you doing just now?" Simon held the little girl with a cold face, and his boots directly stepped on the long finger of the security guard.

"Uh!" Fingers connected to his heart, Zhi An wailed directly in pain.

"She stole something, I'm just interrogating her!" After relieving the severe pain at the beginning, the Chief of Security said with a distorted expression.

"You're lying, you were clearly violating me just now!" At this moment, the little girl stood up and testified, and she also saw that Simon seemed to want to make decisions for her.

"You!" Just as the sheriff was about to hit the little girl, Simon stomped **** the sole of his foot again, making the sheriff speechless in pain.

"She's just a thief, but I'm the sheriff. Do you believe her or me?" The sheriff glared at Simon sternly.

Hearing what the sheriff said, the little girl's face paled a lot. In her impression, as long as she has power, black can always be called white!

At this time, Simon sneered and said, "Are you thinking I'm stupid? She's a little girl under twelve years old. If she can steal something, she deserves to be interrogated by you, the Sheriff!"

"You!" The sheriff's face froze, as if he didn't expect Simon to say that.

In his impression, everyone is aristocrats, wouldn't it be easy for everyone to step down a step?

"Oh, let me tell you, my uncle is the Earl of Berry, a cabinet minister of the royal family. No matter who is standing behind you, it will be good for everyone to save face, otherwise!"

Seeing that he was too soft, the sheriff directly threatened Simon.
