"Brothers, you guys are busy first. I'll go and talk to Mayor Durant. Pete, come with me." Jiang Hao called Pete and rode his horse to Los Angeles town. He came to the city hall and found the cute old man Durant directly.

Jiang Hao lifted his hat and said, "Hello Mayor Durant."

"Hi, Mr. Hall, are you here to buy land again?" Mayor Durant said with a smile.

"Oh no no no no, I have enough land. It probably takes a long time to digest it. There are a few things I have to come to find Mr. Mayor." Jiang Hao said.

"Are you a few things? Let's sit down and chat." Old man Durant said with interest.

The two sat down, Jiang Hao handed the old man a cigar. The old man happily took it. Jiang Hao lit it for the old man. The two of them chatted while smoking, "Mr. Mayor, you see, I have so much land, and I always have to cultivate and plant it, right? But now there is very little manpower, so I need to recruit a large number of workers, which requires almost 200 people."

The old man immediately became happy when he heard this. Now the economy in California is sluggish and many people are not working. Jiang Hao's farm recruits so many people at once, and all idle people in the entire city are recruiting in one go, which has solved his big trouble.

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

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

"Cigarette factory, I plan to grow tobacco on the land, and then make cigarettes by myself in the tobacco processing factory."

Whether to be familiar or not, Jiang Hao was doing tobacco business when he was in Sicily. He was very familiar with the cigarette making set, and even included various tobacco making machines, which were definitely much more advanced than modern machinery.

Then, with the secret weapon, it can definitely make cigarettes sell well. It is now 1880, but there is no saying that drug control is prohibited. You should know that until the beginning of the 20th century, conch was sold freely as medicine because of these things.

What a great era.

"Production workers, mechanics, transporters, etc., are estimated to require about 500 people in total. Of course, it will definitely not be used at the beginning, and it will probably take one or two years to develop."

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

There are more than 11,000 people in Los Angeles now, but most of them are farmers and their families. There are not so many idle people in the city. It is enough to have a headache if there are one or two hundred people. If there are more, those people will probably protest.

But now Mr. Hall has so many workers all at once, and he can't find anyone. Happiness is too strong and he can't stand it.

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

"Are you recruiting workers to Los Angeles? It's not bad," Mayor Durant said.

The development of a region ultimately depends on the population.

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

Durant was shocked, "Will you still need workers?"

"No, this time it's not. Mr. Mayor, as a member of Los Angeles, I feel that I should make contributions to Los Angeles and do my part to the development of Los Angeles." Jiang Hao said.

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

"You may not know that when I was in Texas and Mexico, I was a bounty hunter. It was my best choice to deal with robbers and robbers. If possible, I hope to be able to enter the security office and be a sheriff." Jiang Hao said.

"Sheriff? But now there is Kevin, and he is doing pretty well." Old Man Durant frowned.

"No, Mr. Mayor, I didn't want to steal the position of Sheriff Kevin. I mean, to be a deputy sheriff, I mainly want to do my best to the security in Los Angeles. There is nothing else. You should know that I am not short of that little salary." Jiang Hao said.

The old man blinked, "That's it, I'll think about it."

Jiang Hao stood up and said, "Mr. Mayor, then I will say goodbye." After saying that, Mayor Durant suddenly discovered where Jiang Hao had just sat, leaving a yellow bag behind.

Mayor Durant called out, "Mr. Hall, you might have lost something." Jiang Hao's hand had just opened the door and turned around and smiled slightly at Mayor Durant, "Mr. Mayor, I think that might be yours."

After saying that, he raised his hat and turned around and left.

Mayor Durant is also a worldly apt and immediately understood what Jiang Hao meant. This is a bribery. After Jiang Hao closed the door, Mayor Durant walked to Jiang Hao's seat and picked up the bag of things. The feeling of buying it made Mayor Durant feel moved.

I glanced at the door, quietly untied the rope from the leather pocket, and when I opened it, I saw a dazzling green light.

US dollar bills, two stacks of US dollar bills.

Mayor Durant walked to the door, pressed the door with his back, opened the leather bag, and found that it was $10 per piece of paper money, a total of two stacks, which should be $2,000 according to the thickness.

It's really a big deal.

Mayor Durant smiled.

Two days later, Durant held a working meeting and felt that Los Angeles is now in more and more people, and public order should be strengthened, so he decided to add a deputy sheriff to assist Sheriff Kevin. In this way, Jon Hall, who had just arrived in Los Angeles for less than two weeks, became the deputy sheriff of Los Angeles.

In the office of the Public Security Bureau, Kevin looked at Jiang Hao. He had no good feelings for this new colleague. He always felt that this person had a rebellious aura. Although his eyes were dull, it made him feel a sense of coldness.

Sheriff 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, nodded with a smile, and said nothing.

Jiang Hao walked around the security office. There were only 12 people in the security office in the Los Angeles. People looked at Jiang Hao, the deputy sheriff, and there was not even a single person 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, "Hello, my name is Hall. What's your name? Can you take me around?"

The young guy stood up, a little cramped, and he saw that he had just arrived, "Hello, Deputy Sheriff, my name is Gilmore, I..."

When he said this, the sheriff's room door was just open, and Sheriff Kevin looked here, and Gilmore seemed a little overwhelmed, "Gilmore, take Deputy Sheriff Hall around."

"Okay Sheriff," Gilmore said quickly.

Jiang Hao looked at the lounge, prisoner's room, weapon and ammunition room one by one. Every time he went to a place, he always had to understand the situation here first. There were a lot of firecrackers in the weapon and ammunition room, just like a small arsenal. Jiang Hao 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 said, pointing to the big firecrackers.

"Oh, that's how I've been letting go, and nothing happened." Gilmore said.

There is a dog in the public security center. There is no police dog at this time, but it is indeed a good hunting dog. Jiang Hao reached out to touch the police dog's head. The dog whined twice, stretched out his tongue and licked Jiang Hao's palm.

At this time, the door opened, and Sheriff Kevin stood at the door with his waist in his waist, and said in a cold tone, "That is the hound of the public security department. I advise you to stay away from him. It dares to fight the wild boar. If it becomes fierce, it can bite off your palm."

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

"As long as you like, at least the temporary security station has enough staff and you won't be able to use it. Maybe you can go back to your farm, clear out all the weeds in the field, then plant wheat or corn, and wait for a bumper harvest next year." Sheriff Kevin said.
