241 Chapter 241-earning some hard money
Even if you beat Situ Hua to death, he would never have thought that the new inspector would actually keep him around to ask this question.
What was he doing? Was it a test to see if he was clean or not, or was he being so direct because he thought he was someone he could trust, or was he just joking with him?
cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! Situ Hua started coughing loudly as if he had really choked. His face was completely red, and using the opportunity of coughing, his brain started to spin rapidly, thinking about how to answer.
An inspector who could ask such a question was either an idiot or had a very powerful background. It was so powerful that he did not have to worry about being investigated by the higher-ups, which was why he was so unscrupulous.
why? is this question difficult to answer? don’t tell me you don’t know! Xia ping ‘an looked at Situ Hua calmly. Seeing Situ Hua’s small eyes spinning around non-stop, Xia ping’ an knew that Situ Hua was thinking about how to answer.
He had revealed his true colors to attract the firepower of the bloody demon church for the Crown Prince. The benefits of being an inspector were like subsidies for high-risk work. Xia ping ‘an would not be polite. Even if Beitang Wangchuan knew, Xia ping’ an was sure that Beitang Wangchuan would not say a word.
no, no, I’m just thinking about how to explain it to master. This is a little complicated, ” Situ Hua quickly said, and his face returned to normal.
it’s okay. We have all the time. You can talk slowly, and I’ll listen!
Situ Hua gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He started to say with a serious face, ” cough, cough. Just now, master was talking about how to get money. Master’s explanation is actually wrong!
“Oh, where did I go wrong?” Xia Pingan squinted her eyes and asked with a smile.
The expression on Situ Hua’s face was as righteous as if he was making a report. Sir, as the inspector of the East Harbor, the tens of thousands of business groups, trading companies, shops on the ground of the East Harbor are safe and stable. The lives and property of millions of people in the entire Donggang District are safe and secure. The safety of the cargo ships of all sizes entering and leaving the dock is all thanks to you. Although the East Harbor has a police station, the police can only handle some ordinary small matters and catch those petty thieves.”Solve the disputes of ordinary people and maintain the order of the market. When the police station encounters Summoners and those with various special abilities, ordinary police officers are not even cannon fodder. They still have to rely on our judgement Army and the investigation Department to settle things. Sir, do you think your position is important?”
Xia Pingan touched her chin. now that you’ve mentioned it, it’s really quite important!
of course. Sir, don’t look down on the fact that we don’t have many people in the supervision Department. We only have 30 Summoners and six teams at most. However, our authority and responsibilities are huge. As long as it’s related to all kinds of Summoners, like those heretical members of the blood demon church, people with special abilities, or cases related to foreign races in the enemy countries or possibly related matters, we’re in charge of them. We also have the responsibility of supervising and investigating. we are the eyes, ears, and arms of the judgement Army. Behind our supervision Department is the entire judgement Army and his Majesty. If there’s a problem that we can’t solve, we can immediately summon the combat power of the judgement Army. To ordinary organizations, the people of the supervision Department are one level higher than the officials. Not to mention others, even the police chief and District head of the Donggang District have to show some respect to you. Sir, don’t you think that your authority is heavy? ”
“It seems to be a little heavy!” Xia Pingan nodded, his face serious.
that’s why, with such an important position and such great power, you should be treated well and earn some money to support your family. Do you think I’m right, Your Excellency? ” Situ Hua was excited.
“Not bad, not bad. No one should work on an empty stomach!” Xia Pingan sighed.
that’s right. Sir, you are a noble and pure person. Why would you do that? it’s not nice to say that. Besides, it’s illegal to embezzle money. How could Sir do such a thing? I’m the first one who doesn’t believe it, but there are too many places in the Donggang District that require Sir’s care and guidance. Sir, you have to think of a way to take care of all of them, right? otherwise, you’ll be neglecting your duty. Don’t you think so, Sir? ”
“That’s right. Do you need me to take care of any place?”
there are more than 470 large-scale brothels, bathhouses, restaurants, and guilds in the Donggang District. These places have always been mixed with people from all walks of life. All kinds of Jianghu characters and Summoners often visit these places, and there are often all kinds of disputes. Do you want to take care of these places, Sir? ”
“Yes, of course I want it!”
therefore, the security of these places can not be done by ordinary people. It must be done by the security business groups that you think are reliable and trustworthy. You will guide them to work, maintain local order, provide them with business guidance, and introduce them to work. You will have some shares in those security business groups and earn some hard-earned money every month with your own abilities. It’s fair and the law doesn’t restrict you. This is your income. It’s clean and aboveboard, so why do you need to take it? ”
not bad, not bad. This is indeed an income. Clean! Xia Pingan nodded. He thought to himself, ” they’re using the security business group as a tool to make money. It’s indeed much ” safe ” with this layer between them. is there anything else? ”
other than that, the largest number of ships and warehouses at the eastern Harbor are those at the dock. All sorts of people from all walks of life gather in Shangjing. The ships and dock warehouses are the areas under our supervision department’s key control. Evil cults and dissidents of hostile forces often come to Shangjing from the sea. Many merchant ships also hide prohibited items. You should pay more attention to these places. The owners and shopkeepers of the ship owners and dock warehouses also need you to ensure their safety. Isn’t that right, my Lord?”
“That’s right, you’re right. How do we protect them?”
accidents happen at the docks, ports, warehouses, and ships. It’s a big deal. Therefore, they have to buy insurance and pay the insurance fee every year. If something happens, they can pay the compensation so that they won’t go bankrupt. You can buy insurance from a reliable and powerful insurance company, but you have the final say. You should have some shares in the insurance company and a bonus every month!
Well, the white gloves that made money in these places with the most abundant oil and water had directly become an ” insurance company “. This inspector really had a way of making money. Xia Pingan secretly sighed and then asked, ” what if the owners of these docks, ports, warehouses, and ships don’t buy the insurance I recommend? ”
“If you don’t buy the reliable insurance that you think is reliable, you might have a guilty conscience. For example, when the warehouses of the owners of the warehouses are filled with items, you only need to seal them and count the suspicious items; or have them take out the items in the warehouses, open them and count them one by one. By then, those owners would pee their pants, including those passenger ships and cargo ships.
“Once it involves a cult, a Summoner’s case, a ship carrying and trafficking prohibited items, or there’s a problem with the sailors on the ship, you can detain the ship at the dock and make it unable to move. Those shipowner managers will then come and beg you to let them go. The same goes for the dock. You only need to issue a detaining order or seal and those people will cry for their parents. Cough, cough. Of course, you’re open and aboveboard, so you won’t do this. It’s only a way to deal with those who Harbor evil intentions!”
“Is there anything else besides that?”
also, there are the various horse carriage, teeth, Li Xing, and wine shops in the Donggang District. I’ll need you to take care of them. These businesses are managed by their own guilds and Chambers of Commerce. You don’t need to explain to the people under these businesses. You only need to arrange for lawyers to be their legal counsels. They will naturally be sensible and know what to do. If these businesses encounter disputes, you can decide on the arbitration. This is much more convenient than their lawsuits, so you’ve worked hard, Sir. There are so many things that need to be taken care of and put in effort. Who can say no to Daren’s hard work to earn money?”
F * ck, this position was indeed a lucrative one. He didn’t even use his own hands to make money and used white gloves. He already had a very mature set of game rules.
“Then what does Li Xing do?” Xia Pingan asked.
Li Xing is the kind of person who does hard labor on ships and in warehouses at the dock. They are all bitter and belong to three different gangs. They fight for business and are very chaotic. Fighting and using knives is a common thing. Occasionally, they will also provoke people and trouble that they should not provoke. Without the Lord’s permission, these bottom-level Li Xing gangs will have a hard time surviving in the Donggang District!
