Chapter 440 Deputy Sheriff Jon Hall

"Brothers, please be busy first. I'll talk to Mayor Durant. Pete, come with me." Jiang Hao called Pete, rode to the town of Los Angeles, and came to the city hall to find the lovely Durant directly. Rand old man.

Jiang Hao lifted his top hat, "Hello, Mayor Durant."

"Hey, Mr. Hall, are you here to buy land again?" Mayor Durant got up and said with a smile.

"Oh no no no, I have enough land, and it may take a long time to digest it. I came to see Mr. Mayor for a few things." Jiang Hao said.

"A few things, let's sit down and talk." The old man Durant said with interest.

The two sat down, Jiang Hao handed the old man a cigar, the old man took it happily, Jiang Hao lit it for the old man, and the two chatted while smoking, "Mr. Mayor, you see I have so much land, and I have to reclaim it Planting isn’t it, but now there is a shortage of manpower, so I need to recruit a lot of workers, probably more than 200 people.”

The old man immediately became happy when he heard it. Now that the economy in California is in a downturn, many people have no jobs. Jiang Hao’s farm recruited so many people at once, and all the idle people in the whole city were recruited at once. This solved his big problem. trouble.

"More than that, I also want to build a factory, which also requires a large number of workers. Of course, it is best to have professional workers. I don't know if there are any in Los Angeles." Jiang Hao said.

The old man was even happier, and he wanted to recruit people, "What kind of factory do you want to build?"

"Cigarette factory, I plan to grow tobacco on the land, and then build a tobacco processing factory to make cigarettes."

Cooked but not raw, Jiang Hao was in the tobacco business when he was in Sicily, and he is very familiar with cigarette making, even including various cigarette making machines, which are definitely much more advanced than modern machinery.

Then add the big secret weapon, which can definitely make cigarettes sell well. Now it is 1880, but there is no such thing as drug prohibition. You know, until the beginning of the 20th century, conch was sold freely as medicine.

What a time.

"Production workers, mechanics, transportation personnel, etc., are estimated to add up to about 500 people. Of course, they will definitely not be used at the beginning. It is estimated that it will take a year or two to develop."

Mayor Durant was both happy and worried when he heard that, "Do we need so many people? That's great, but it seems that Los Angeles doesn't have that many idle people."

There are now more than 11,000 people in Los Angeles, but most of them are farmers and their families. There are not so many idle people in the city. One or two hundred people is enough to cause headaches. It's time to protest.

But now this Mr. Hall wants so many workers all at once, and he can't find anyone. The happiness is too strong, and he can't bear it.

Jiang Hao looked at Mayor Durant's frown, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mayor, I will go to San Francisco to recruit a group of workers, so that the population of Los Angeles will increase, and our city will expand, right?"

"Recruiting workers to Los Angeles? It's not bad." Mayor Durant said.

The development of a region depends on the population after all.

"Mr. Mayor, I have one more thing." Jiang Hao said.

Durant was taken aback, "You won't need workers, will you?"

"No, not this time, Mr. Mayor, as a member of Los Angeles, I feel that I should make a contribution to Los Angeles and contribute to the development of Los Angeles." Jiang Hao said.

The old man was taken aback, "Mr. Hall, what do you mean?"

"You may not know that when I was in Texas and Mexico, I used to be a bounty hunter. Dealing with robbers and robbers is my specialty. If I can, I hope to enter the sheriff's office and become a sheriff .” Jiang Hao said.

"Sheriff, but now there's Kevin, and he's doing pretty well." The old man Durant frowned.

"No, Mr. Mayor, I don't want to steal the position of Sheriff Kevin. What I mean is that as a deputy sheriff, I mainly want to contribute to the law and order of Los Angeles, and nothing else. You want I know, I don't lack that salary." Jiang Hao said.

The old man blinked, "Well, let me think about it."

Jiang Hao stood up, "Mr. Mayor, then I will take my leave." After speaking and walking outside, Mayor Durant suddenly found a yellow leather bag where Jiang Hao had just sat.

Mayor Durant called out, "Mr. Hall, you may have lost something." At this moment, Jiang Hao opened the door with his hand, and turned to Mayor Durant with a slight smile, "Mr. Mayor, I think That could be yours."

After speaking, he raised his top hat, turned and left.

Mayor Durant is also sophisticated, and immediately understood what Jiang Hao meant. This was bribery. After Jiang Hao closed the door, Mayor Durant walked to Jiang Hao's seat, picked up the bag, and felt like he was holding it. Let Mayor Durant's heart move.

Glancing at the door, he quietly untied the rope on the leather bag, pulled it open, and saw a very dazzling green light.

U.S. bills, two full stacks of U.S. bills.

Mayor Durant walked to the door, leaned against the door with his back, opened the leather bag, and found a $10 bill inside. There were two stacks in total, and according to the thickness, it should be $2,000.

It's really a big deal.

Mayor Durant had a smile on his face.

Two days later, Durant held a working meeting. He felt that the population of Los Angeles was increasing and law and order should be strengthened, so he decided to add a deputy sheriff to assist Sheriff Kevin in his work. Zhou's Jon Hall, became the deputy sheriff of the city of Los Angeles.

In the office of the public security office, Kevin looked at Jiang Hao. He didn't have a good impression of this new colleague. He always felt that this person had an unruly aura. cold.

Sergeant Kevin put a police badge on the table, and said coldly: "This is your police badge, I hope you can perform your duties, and don't cause trouble for me."

Jiang Hao took the police badge and hung it on his chest, smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Jiang Hao walked around the security station. There were only 12 people in the entire Los Angeles public security station. People looked at Jiang Hao, the deputy sheriff, and there was no one to say hello. The reason was that he was an outsider, and the people here were all Sheriff Kevin's people.

Jiang Hao walked up to a younger guy and said, "Hi, my name is Hall, what's your name, can you show me around."

The young guy stood up, a little embarrassed, and he looked like Xinnen who had just arrived, "Hello Deputy Sheriff, my name is Gilmore, I"

When he said this, the door of the sheriff's room just opened. Sheriff Kevin looked at him, and Gilmore seemed a little at a loss, "Gilmore, take Deputy Sheriff Hall around."

"Good Sheriff." Gilmore said quickly.

Rest room, prison room, weapon and ammunition room, Jiang Hao looked at them one by one, and he always had to understand the situation here first when he went to a place. The weapon and ammunition room was filled with a lot of firearms and ammunition, just like a small arsenal, Jiang Hao I also saw that there were a lot of big firecrackers, that is, bombs.

"Gilmore, it's not safe to put these things here." Jiang Hao pointed to those big firecrackers and said.

"Oh, it's been released like this all the time, and there has never been an accident." Gilmore said.

There was a dog in the police station. There was no such thing as a police dog in this period, but it was indeed a good hound. Jiang Hao reached out and stroked the head of the police dog. The dog barked twice and stuck out its tongue to lick Jiang Hao. palm of the hand.

At this time the door opened, Sergeant Kevin stood at the door with his waist in his arms, and said in a cold tone, "That's the hunting dog of the police station, I advise you to stay away from him, it dares to fight wild boars, if it gets aggressive, it can bite you to pieces palm."

Jiang Hao patted the dog's head, "Sergeant Kevin, what job do I have?"

"Whatever you want, at least there are enough people in the public security station for the time being, and you won't be needed, maybe you can go back to your own farm, remove all the weeds in the field, and then plant wheat or corn, waiting for a good harvest next year ” Said Sergeant Kevin.
