When Westem was in full swing organizing young and middle-aged people to build roads and study, the city of Inadoli was quite peaceful.

The new lord did not interfere with people's lives too much. Not only did he not promulgate new decrees and regulations requiring everyone to abide by them, he even never touched the North City factory area where everyone thought the new big lord would definitely attack—especially after Those, not to mention the middle-class families who can only watch the excitement, even the nobles who own the factory area in Beicheng feel incredible.

It is not an exaggeration to say that most of the wealth in Innadelli's territory is concentrated in the Beicheng factory area. There are more than 80 workers and dozens of large and small factories here. If the world also has the economic indicator of GDP, then more than [-]% of the GDP of Innadelli would have to be created by the Beicheng factory area.

Viscount Darcy, who has become the leader of the local aristocracy since the fall of the Bartleys family, has been secretly observing the movement of Charlie Rex who entered the city hall. The result of his observation is...Charlie Rex looks like It's like being blind and turning a blind eye to the wealth of Beicheng District.

After sweeping the clubhouse area, sealing up the bar area and the casino area, and sweeping away the gray industries in the urban area, Charlie Rex stopped as if he was satisfied with his "political achievements".

This made Viscount Darcy very confused.

Even if the illegitimate child is worried that the local nobles will unite to force him to step down, and even let the mayor position be released for qualified people to compete... he wouldn't even dare to take money, would he?

Not to mention the large stakes of the Bartles family in several large factories, don't Charlie Rex dare to touch these free benefits?

After thinking about it, Viscount Darcy simply called the factory owners to his home in the name of holding a private reception to discuss countermeasures.

These factory owners...in fact, they are decent local nobles, even the Baron Marcus who lost his fief - this guy still has two farms in his hands, and he can barely maintain his small winery. factory.

In the study, facing a group of nobles who are also landlords, capitalists, and factory owners, Viscount Darcy started the discussion topic deeply: "What do you think about the shares of the Bartles family?"

As soon as these words came out, all the gentlemen in the audience looked like hungry wolves...

Last week, Charlie Rex released Adela III and his loyal steward, Gould.

This third prince was very knowledgeable. After returning to the only remaining farm of Bartles’s family, he stayed behind closed doors and sold their family’s shares without saying a word—the tragic experience of losing his territory and being thrown into prison finally made this family The third generation has learned what is sophistication and human affection, and he has been able to figure out that although those shares still bear the name of the Bartles family, they no longer belong to their family.

The winner takes all is the biggest principle in this world, whoever doesn't know the taste will have to pay the price - when the local nobles divided up the Bartles family's farm and manor, they honestly did not touch the shares of the Bartles family, then It was the meat on the plate of the big winner Charlie Rex. No matter how much they looked down on that illegitimate son, the nobles would not think that guy would not kill people.

But the things in this world are so wonderful. It has been more than twenty days since Charlie Rex took over the Inner City, but this guy has never sent anyone to the factory area to take over the largest part of the Bartles family. heritage……

Such a big piece of fat without an owner is thrown there, who can not be tempted to see it.

"Don't Rex know about this?" Someone swallowed and said.

"How is it possible?" Someone immediately snorted, "Even if the illegitimate child doesn't have a decent education and doesn't understand these things, don't those who take refuge in him also understand?"

Those who were lucky were silent.

Charlie Rex eliminated the city superintendent with an iron fist, and the National Guard quickly surrendered. Together with the sheriff's detectives who few people care about at ordinary times, they became the most loyal lackeys of the new city hall-now on the street Except for the militia that Rex brought into the city from Westham, it was this group of people who patrolled, and gentlemen would not be bored to see this group of people.

The National Guard belongs to the standing establishment of the cities of the Rhine Kingdom. The garrison officers of each city are uniformly appointed by the royal city. They are violent institutions that are loyal to the lord, but even more loyal to the Rhine royal family. The relationship with the local nobles has always been delicate... To be precise, the nobles are There are too many people who want to intervene in the military power of the National Guard and dislike the affairs of the National Guard.

The Bartleis family has a strong army of their own, and they have neglected the National Guard led by Innad for hundreds of years. After finally changing to a new lord, the National Guard naturally has to hold on to the new lord's thigh. The Si family keeps a "secret".

"Then why didn't Charlie Rex do anything?" asked a baroness, "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Viscount Darcy glanced at the crowd, seeing that everyone was waiting for his opinion, he felt a little complacent, and said deeply: "Adela III has not left yet, everyone knows."

"Of course he didn't dare to leave. The illegitimate son confiscated his family's shares as money for his life. Let alone pack up and leave. I guess he can't sleep well at night." A young nobleman sneered, " If you leave the city and are robbed and killed by bandits and horse thieves who don’t know where they came from, and you will never suffer any future troubles, then you will be in great trouble.”

Viscount Darcy didn't look at the young nobleman who came out to speak. He knew that after the fall of the Bartleys family, not everyone agreed that the Darcy family was the leader, but he didn't bother to care about this young brat: "I The news I got is that during this period, the third king has been writing letters, some letters were sent to the royal city, some letters were sent to the Holy Land of the Gold Coin Church, and some letters were sent to the Earl of Otis next door..."

"As the current head of the Bartleys family, Adela III sent a letter of appeal to Earl Otis's family?" The young nobleman rudely interrupted Viscount Darcy, and laughed even more exaggeratedly, "It's so unreasonable." It's more shameful than a bastard sitting on it that a decent person is actually the former lord of Inadari."

After saying this, not to mention Viscount Darcy, the gentlemen present were a little irritated, and all glared at the young nobleman.

"Dennis Frank, please pay attention to your words on this occasion!" the baroness said angrily.

"Sorry." The young nobleman Dennis Frank said this verbally, but he didn't restrain himself at all, and his attitude became more and more serious, "I know that you are greedy for the shares of the Bartles family, and you don't want to be the first to go out It provoked the anger of Charlie Rex, so you hope that Adela III's request for help will cause some trouble for Charlie Rex, right, Your Excellency the Viscount?"

Dennis Frank's last two words were addressed to Viscount Darcy.

No matter how well-mannered Viscount Darcy was, it was impossible for him not to care about this offense. He straightened his face and scolded severely: "Who made you talk to me like this? Is this the tutor of the Frank family?!"

"Don't talk about those things. The tutor of the Darcy family asked the granddaughter to hook up with an illegitimate child that you keep looking down on? Isn't such a tutor shameful?" Dennis Frank scorned almost confidently, "Let us Let's all unite together to see what the illegitimate child can do. In private, let your granddaughter take turns to visit Charlie Rex, and try to use marriage to swallow up the shares of the Bartles family. This is what the Darcy family does. ?!"

As soon as these words came out, Viscount Darcy's face turned green, and all the gentlemen in the audience were in an uproar.

"Of course it's not true!" The baroness was startled and angry, pointing at Dennis Frank's nose and cursing, "I'm really fed up with such a shameless brat like you, get out!"

Dennis Frank's voice was higher than that of the baroness: "Do you expect to rely on the Darcy family to share a little broth with you? Don't dream about madam! Let me be honest, those third kings who Viscount Darcy thought could be used The request for help is of no use at all, Charlie Rex had already reached an alliance with the Earl of Otis's family before he declared war on the Bartleys' family!"

The gentlemen who had just been excited were all quiet all of a sudden.

Dennis Frank became more and more complacent: "There is another thing, why was the Church of Gold Coins completely unmoved during the Territory War? Because the Church of Gold Coins also supported Charlie Rex, I didn't see that the night watchman even hired the undead Have you become an exorcist? This is obviously a public matter, but the Darcy family deliberately didn't say it. Why do you think the Darcy family didn't say it? Dear Viscount, what exactly do you want to use you for, have you ever thought about it? ?”

Viscount Darcy, who was firmly seated in the main seat, felt dizzy for a while.

The meeting of the factory owners hosted by the Darcy family broke up in less than an hour.

Two hours later, the news reached Rex's desk in the top office of the city hall.

Rex finished reading the short report sent by the police officers with a blank expression, and looked at Zhao Zhenzhen who was sitting opposite him with a stiff face.

"Everyone has enemies." Zhao Zhenzhen smiled heartily, "Find someone who is not against the Viscount Darcy's family and has the strength to challenge them, and reveal the operation that the lord Yang arranged earlier, and naturally someone will come forward to disturb the Darcy family. It's a series of connections... Our energy is used to do business, so we don't have time to intrigue with those people, it's better to let them play with themselves and save us some trouble."

Rex stiffly and carefully smiled...

He can understand why Ms. Zhao is clearly a bright and easy-going undead in all aspects, but she always makes people feel that she is menacing... This undead lady is indeed very dangerous!

"Leave this matter aside for now." Zhao Zhenzhen took out another document and spread it out in front of Rex, "The trade union in the factory area has a big organizational problem."

"Uh... Isn't this trade union used by factory owners to control workers?" Rex asked cautiously.

"That's right, and it's not right." Zhao Zhenzhen said, "If the trade union is acting as the lackey of the factory owner, then the workers will have a lot of resistance to the union. When we start to adjust the industrial structure of the factory area It will be very difficult for this trade union to form resistance to us.”

"The problem is that this trade union is, in a sense, an organization that is spontaneously organized by workers and recognized for the benefit of workers. This is the key."

Rex didn't speak, but just showed an incomprehensible expression to express his attitude - what a joke, which organization that seeks welfare for workers would unceremoniously take away [-]% of the workers' wages?It is the same standard as the tax rate charged by the big lord!

Zhao Zhenzhen could understand Rex's reaction very well, and patiently explained: "This trade union was indeed organized spontaneously by the workers at the beginning, and the leaders in the union were originally workers. For worker services, the management registers and classifies those who need to work, introduces them to various factories to participate in the work, and arranges people to come forward to contact the employing factories to ensure that the wages of the workers are not lower than the minimum level.”

"The factory area of ​​Inadili was gradually developed 90 years ago, when the army raised by the lord Bartles at that time was formed, which could effectively deter border horse thieves and robbers. The trade union also appeared around that time. As far as we have obtained According to the data, at least in the ten years when the union was first established, it was indeed working for the welfare of the working class in a down-to-earth manner.”

"However, with the passage of time, this initial intention has changed." After a pause, Zhao Zhenzhen calmly said, "The management of the union is hereditary, the father is the management, and the son is also the management, which is passed down from generation to generation; The seat of the trade union president is fiercely infighting, and it even develops to the extent that it needs to win the support of the factory owners. At this point, it can’t be said that it is serving the working class.”

Rex nodded sadly. He is now a staunch opponent of the hereditary system of power. How terrible it is for the incompetent to steal a high position. After being pushed to the position of puppet lord by Yang, his understanding is getting deeper and deeper... If there are no undead As their assistant, even if he thinks he is not incompetent, he will definitely make a mess of things.

"Of course, if it's just like this, it's not a big problem to overthrow the rotten trade union." Zhao Zhenzhen continued, "The troublesome point is that there are a large number of middle- and low-level backbones in the trade union, who have accepted the promotion of the union's high-level workers in order to ensure their own interests. Harmful information, thinking that only when the factory owners earn money, workers can have work and food, and believe that it is right to sacrifice the interests of the workers to protect the interests of factory owners to some extent.”

"These middle and low-level backbones who are directly connected to the bottom workers have passed the same message to the workers. thing."

"If we take action against the trade unions and factories without solving this problem, then... the first group of people who stand in front of us will be the ordinary workers we want to protect."

Rex suddenly changed color.

The Chinese people with abundant martial virtues have had traditional warfare (made) since their ancestors that "the princes and generals would rather have kindness", "the emperor will take turns to come to my house next year", and "the butcher will not eat hairy pigs without Zhang". In the spirit of fighting (rebellion), it is inevitable that the group of "fine capitalists" will call daddy to the capitalists who shouted blessings. The same problem, of course, also exists in this other world.
