Chapter 180 It's you, Wagner! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Just...what about the liquor?"
"What?"
Bruno was stunned.
"According to your previous thinking, the price of strong liquors like brandy and vodka must be much higher than that of low-alcohol wines. However... you have applied these sales tricks to low-alcohol wines. As for strong liquors... how do you plan to drive up the price? Is it just through the right of first refusal?"
Isabel wondered.
Because... based on her understanding of Bruno these days, the count in front of him would never give up unless he could make a profit of more than 200%.
“What is price gouging?”
Bruno's expression changed, and he said very seriously: "I am doing this to satisfy the dignity of the nobles, so that they can enjoy life better! This is completely for the sake of the nobles of the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel!"
Isabel: (￣▽￣)"
"Don't worry about the packaging and promotion of the liquor. I am not only wise and brave, but also intelligent, wise, and knowledgeable. Naturally, I will not let the liquor down..."
Seeing this, Isabel said no more, because Bruno had used the low-alcohol wine in front of her to make her deeply aware of the sales skills and market control that the Idar Lord possessed far beyond that of ordinary chambers of commerce.
"Let's play another round!"
After seeing the new packaging of the wine, Isabel's mood became even better. She pointed to the building blocks scattered on the table and spoke excitedly.
"No! It's time to go to bed!"
Bruno, who had good work and rest habits, firmly refused.
…
The natural wonders of the Almis Mountains often appeared in Bruno's mind, like a newlywed woman who was looking forward to her husband's return home, and from time to time she would cry out with a hint of resentment.
"Master Bruno, please come quickly~ Please come quickly~~"
Although he really wanted to go to the depths of the Almis Mountains to find out what was going on and quickly activate the bonus effect of the natural wonders, but... there were still many problems in the Idar Territory that needed to be solved by Bruno.
Bruno hopes to establish a police force specifically responsible for internal affairs in Idar as soon as possible.
As the population pouring into Idar continues to increase, even though the current situation in Idar is very good and people's living standards are constantly improving, the problem of rising crime rates is inevitable.
Serious crimes rarely happen. After all, if you want to commit a crime, you need tools! In the homes of these residents, the most likely tool is a piece of black bread that is dozens of centimeters long.
The length of black bread is the best indicator of the improvement in people's living standards.
In the past, it was considered very good if the black bread stored in civilian homes was ten centimeters long. On weekdays, they could only live frugally and barely make themselves survive.
However, nowadays, the length of the black bread sold in Idarling has generally exceeded 20 centimeters, and even reached more than 30 centimeters.
It is rough and hard, and is especially good for teeth.
Although this thing can indeed kill people, and the Idar people can basically fill their stomachs, but after all, black bread is real food, which is the easiest thing for people to eat on weekdays, so they will not waste it like this! In addition, although there are not many serious cases, there are still many small things like theft, debts, neighborhood conflicts, slapping each other with a few hats, and so on.
Prior to this, these matters had always been managed by the standing army of Idar, but with the increase in population, this would undoubtedly delay the time and progress of the standing army's daily training, leaving the standing army surrounded by these trivial matters in the market.
Therefore, it became an urgent matter to establish a team specifically responsible for handling conflicts between civilians in Idar.
Otherwise, if someone came to the door of the lord's castle crying and shouting all day long, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on Bruno's sleep quality!
Without good sleep quality, how can we plan the way forward for Idar and seek well-being for the people?
only……
Although establishing a police force sounds simple, Bruno was undoubtedly troubled by who would lead the team and how to select the police officers.
Unlike the standing army of Idar, the soldiers of the standing army, as the armed force to guard the security of Idar, only need to be responsible to Bruno.
Although literacy is good, it is a plus, not a minus.
What is more important is to understand the policies of the Idar Lordship and support the rule of the Stuart family.
Therefore, when recruiting standing troops, one only needs to consider whether the other party's physical fitness can withstand the daily training of the standing army, whether their background is reliable, and whether they can faithfully complete the orders issued by Bruno.
However, the recruitment of police is completely different. Although the police also need training, and the training requirements are much lower than those of the standing army, the requirements in other aspects have been greatly increased.
After all, the role of the police is to deal with the civilians and serfs of Idar County.
Therefore, physical conditions and physical qualities are secondary. The most important thing is to be able to correctly resolve conflicts and disputes between the two sides and protect the life and property safety of the Idar people. At the same time, they will also be responsible for solving possible vicious cases and patrolling in the city of Idar.
This requires that the police force recruits people who have practiced reading and writing. In addition, they must be familiar with various principles and be able to convince the public, so as to avoid making things more chaotic.
But in this era, how would ordinary people know how to write?
For these commoners and serfs who had difficulty even filling their stomachs in the past, learning, reading and writing were undoubtedly the privilege of the nobles!
This also led to the fact that most of the civilians who could read were carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths and other people with relatively good living conditions, or civilians with quick thinking who could run some small businesses in the streets.
Although these people are not rare, they are still pitifully few.
Fortunately, the Idar territory manages immigrants and local residents living outside the city of Idar through independent working communities, so the number of police needed is not too large.
Bruno called the policy implemented in Idar County the grassroots mass autonomy system.
Each migrant worker community will establish a community committee, and the people in the community will elect people who they believe can win the support of the people to assist the Idar Immigration Administration in management.
This method not only makes Idar easier to manage, but also reduces the burden on Idar officials, saves Idar's limited funds and manpower, and allows Bruno to focus more energy on more needed and urgent areas.
Therefore, similar to the Idar Intelligence Bureau, the most important thing at the moment is to build the framework of the police force first.
After thinking for a while, Bruno probably already had a relatively preferred candidate in mind, that is the immigrant from the Territory of Soren - Wagner.
After Bruno saved the lives of his wife and children, Wagner was completely devoted to the Lordship of Idar.
Moreover, according to an investigation conducted by the Idar Intelligence Agency some time ago, this civilian named Wagner is not only hardworking, but also literate and a relatively decent person.
The only shortcoming is that I have no experience and have not received any specific and systematic training.
But for Bruno, these are not problems.
Because for the natives of this world, everything in Idar Territory is new, and they need to constantly explore and adapt.
What Bruno cares most about is loyalty!
so……
That's you, Wagner!
