The Gray family is very rich. They have a large plantation where many cash crops are planted, but the money collected from these things is actually paid to family funds.

If someone like Leigh Gray wants an additional fund, you need to find a way out for yourself.

The most profitable way is of course private wine. Although they do not have the skills to brew, they can collect taxes from other people who brew private wine.

As long as you take a little out of the taxes and fees of private wine, it will be a lot of money, which is completely enough for people to spend their time on wine and wine for a long time.

Moreover, tax collection is not a one-size-fits-all transaction, but a long-term benefit. Therefore, for those private wine shops that do not pay themselves, they have been unhappy for a long time.

Before, when Tawish was in office, the private wine shops often paid taxes to Tawish, but after he came to power, those people were like they didn't see it. Although he was not the patriarch of the Gray family, he was also the sheriff of Rhodes.

He also has the right to "collect" taxes. Now, he wants to let those guys see who is the controller of Rhodes.

In fact, when it comes to the deepest point, it is about money. So when Wang Xuance and Li were talking about things before, he emphasized that he was a legal business, and the most important thing about a legal business is to pay taxes. Although there are ways to avoid taxes, in fact, the amount of money paid is not a small amount.

And cracking down on these private wine shops that do not pay taxes is actually the responsibility of the Sheriff of Rhodes.

Therefore, there is no problem in taking people to wipe out those private wine workshops, not to mention that the alcohol ban is now being implemented!

Yes, although taverns in the city have been selling alcohol, they are actually illegal, but most people have backstages, and law enforcement officers turn a blind eye to these things.

Especially in recent months, the upper class men have given them countless support, allowing them to raise their salary, have extra vacations, and even set up a fund specifically to support their law enforcement actions.

What law enforcement officials need to do is to give the foundation members some "small" support.

Speaking of Prohibition, the history of Prohibition can be traced back to the 19th century.

At that time, religious groups and social groups such as the American Prohibition Association regarded "alcoholic disaster" and alcohol abuse as a serious social problem. In the 1850s, several states including Maine in the United States tried the alcohol prohibition law, but eventually ended with local opposition.

In the subsequent history, the Prohibition and Drinking Pie continued to have fierce conflicts.

The group that supports the most pro-prohibition is the female group.

They believe that drinking has exacerbated domestic violence and that drunk husbands will unconsciously beat their wives and children.

And supporters of the Prohibition Act believe that alcohol abuse is the cause of family poverty.

Many politicians also smashed boxes of distilled liquor and beer in front of the public, but they would not say that those things were taken from their competitors.

After the establishment of the Prohibition Party in 1869, in order to support the party's movement, a social group called the Christian Women's Wind Repair Association launched a large-scale campaign to ban alcohol in the 1870s.

This group later developed in Japan and had almost the same role.

This trend swept across the United States, and even the buzzword of the time "Absolute Prohibition" appeared in the White House.

It is said that Rutherford Burchard Hayes, the then 19th President, and his wife Lucy, were also influenced by the ban on alcohol. Not only did they never drink, but they never drank or persuaded others to drink.

As time came to the 1890s, the organized lobby "Prohibition Alliance" publicly supported the Prohibition movement.

The Prohibition Alliance began to send people to pray in places where drunks gather, and even radical-minded people went to the tavern to persuade people to quit drinking, which led to many conflicts of fighting.

And just one year later, a woman named Kelly Nathan is known for destroying a tavern with an axe.

However, these western states have not evolved to that point, and Wang Xuance clearly knows that this is not actually the United States in history, but a similar parallel world.

However, the good news is that this place is very similar to the United States in history. When he was chatting with Earl Rithwright, he mentioned that in San Francisco, there was a man known as the American emperor.

His name is Joshua Abraham Norton, and when Count Rithwright talks, he can't help but sigh deeply.

The current US president is named William McKinley, who is consistent with the US president Wang Xuance has known, but there are only a few states with different names.

These made Wang Xuance breathe a sigh of relief. It would be enough to have similarities. Even if there wasn't, he would have no choice.

Today, Dudge and the others received the news that Gray said there was an errand for them to do, and if it was done, they would give them the position of deputy sheriff of the town of Rhodes.

Seeing that it was profitable, Daqi immediately packed up everything and came with Bill. However, Bill delayed something in the middle, and was pulled together by Wang Xuance and went to the weapon store.

However, Bill didn't think there was anything, after all, he had taken a lot of things in the weapon store.

The money in the cashier and a few boxes of bullets, these things combined are almost thirty dollars, and there are even twenty-three dollars in cash. For Bill, it is a huge profit.

After he whispered to Dudge, Dudge did not even ask Bill to divide half of the money into the camp tax box, which made Bill very happy.

"What now? What to do? Are you just waiting?" Wang Xuance waited for a while and was a little bored, and patted Bill who was rubbing the gun.

Bill carefully installed his bolt rifle, and then said to Wang Xuance: "Let's wait and see Arthur. Dutch had explained to Marybeth before, so that Arthur would have time to come to the Rhodes Police Station and something was wrong. If he didn't come at noon, we might have to do our own business."

"Do you know what's going on?" Wang Xuance took out the cigarette and handed it to Archbid and Bill. Dutch was talking to Gray, but he didn't have to give it to them.

Bill and Archibad took the cigarette, and Archibad said: "It's going to wipe out a private wine shop, which is the territory of the Lemoen raiders. They have joined forces with the dirty Bracewayt family, attacked the status of other vendors, and monopolized the entire private wine trade in Rhodes. And they don't pay taxes, they are just a bunch of mice!"

Speaking of these private wine dealers, Archbird completely dislikes and disdains.

He is a very righteous person, and these illegal vendors are completely different from him.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Arthur pushed open the door of the Rhodes Police Department.

Dutch, who was chatting with Li, turned around and looked at the door: "Oh, this is my friend, Arthur Callahan, you have seen him. He is a hunter!! He is a killer!!"

As he said that, he welcomed Arthur: "Arthur, come here, this is Mr. Gray! Oh, no, no, Sheriff Gray!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, sir!" As he said that, he apologized to Li in a pretentious manner.

Li put down the bottle of wine in his hand, "How are you, sir?"

"I'm fine." Arthur didn't understand why this was the current situation. He gestured to Bill with his eyes, but Bill couldn't understand what Arthur wanted to say at all. He turned to Wang Xuance again, and Wang Xuance signaled him to wait.

"Your work is also very hard." Li's tone was filled with sighs, and he didn't know what Dutch said to him before.

However, Wang Xuance felt that Li was already drunk, and probably, he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Is that?" Arthur was a little confused. What happened? He didn't know anything about it.

Li's tone was drunk, but he still said with regret: "I feel sorry for you. It's really unfair! Sir, I actually lost your job for that reason!"

"But don't worry, here in Rhodes, as long as you work hard and work hard, you will definitely find a job that can support yourself, and even save some money to marry a beautiful girl!" Li handed Arthur the bottle in his hand, then patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Arthur took the bottle and tasted it: "My God, this wine is so strong!"

"However, this wine seems to be just a small thing to you!" After shaking, there was only one layer of wine in the bottle. It was hard to imagine that the sheriff could still have a smooth conversation after drinking so much.

"Yes, yes, this little wine is not a problem at all!" Li walked out of the door staggeringly, but after he left and when the door was closed, Wang Xuance heard a 'dong' sound.

Well, it's not completely fine.

Wang Xuance took the wine bottle handed over by Daqi and placed him on the table.

He was not interested in this kind of wine bottle that was passed by. If he really wanted to take a sip, he could go to the tavern controlled by the Braceway family to have a drink.

"I told you that we are going to show our strength!" Dutch picked up the medals of several deputy sheriffs whom Gray placed on the table: "Look, Arthur, Sheriff!!"

Arthur also understood what Darqi wanted to do: "You are really going crazy! Darqi!"

"In this country town full of drunken ghosts, country bumpkins, and slaves, we honest thieves are simply a clear stream!" Dutch put on his badge and looked at Arthur, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sheriff Grey who entered the door.

Sheriff Gray stumbled into the door, shocking Ducky.

I don’t know if what Darchi said just now was heard, but looking at Li’s drunken look, he probably didn’t hear it.
Chapter completed!
