If you want to live comfortably in this world, in addition to strength, you have to rely on your brain.
Lo Chen is not a person who relies on brute force. The biggest difference between him and Roger is that he thinks more carefully and more deeply.
Andoro island was stained with a lot of blood, and many people were afraid of Lo Chen when they mentioned his name.
If this story was told in a novel, then Lo Chen would be the villain.
But the effect was immediate, the general framework was set up on the third day.
Luo Chen divided the authority of the island into three categories and distributed them to three people. They were the Minister of Government Affairs, responsible for the deployment and promotion of personnel; the Minister of Finance, responsible for all matters related to money; and the Minister of Military Affairs, responsible for the armed forces of the entire island.
Each minister is extremely important and has a great significance to Lo Chen.
For the time being, the people he uses are the indigenous people of this island.
In essence, he is a pirate, and his partners naturally can't pay attention to these things. They have more important things to do, and he believes that under the suppression of iron and blood, these so-called ministers can only do things honestly.
Otherwise, if their heads fall to the ground, no one will be happy, right?
Andoro island can be said to have changed a lot in three days, and people with good eyes can see it clearly.
Everyone knows that the sky has changed, but they can only passively accept it. Especially the businessmen, they live in fear every day for three days, afraid that they will be caught by those winged guys and cut to death.
But as time passed, they gradually found that although the tax rate has increased, it is a lot more orderly, unlike before, there will be people who repeatedly collect taxes. And the public security is a lot better, no one will make trouble at this time, and even if there is, they will be subdued by the guards.
Everything has become orderly, as if there is an invisible hand, quietly tidying up everything on this island.
Gradually, everyone's heart calmed down. They found that as long as you don't make trouble and don't mess around, nothing will happen, and your business will be protected by the guards. Once the interests are violated, the army will immediately come.
Originally, this kind of treatment could be obtained in any country in the world. But don't forget, this is the New World, a place that pirates can't control.
"It seems that this great pirate named Lo Chen is not such a ferocious guy!"
"That's right. He's dealing with those arrogant and despotic chambers of commerce."
"Heh, we all know the background of those chambers of commerce. However, it's very clear that our current boss doesn't care about them."
Most of the merchants knew in their hearts that in the past, they had to take care of many big shots. But now, they only needed to take care of one person.
Of course, the guards stationed at the four major ports in the past three days also saw many pirate groups coming.
At first, they were nervous, thinking that another great battle was about to break out.
However, when the pirates approached and saw the Scarlet Flame Skull Flag floating at the harbor, they were scared witless, not daring to say a word.
This made them heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were secretly grateful to the Great Demon. In this new world, nothing was more important than safety.
While the people in Andoro Island felt the subtle change of the island, some people were furious at this moment.
"Bastard, that Lo Chen, is he looking for death?"
"He dares to offend us, who does he think he is?"
The man in the brocade robe angrily threw things one by one.
"He's Lo Chen, so he's not looking for death."
On the table, Den Den Mushi with glasses and a serious expression said.
"Don't we have a way? You have to know that we have invested more than ten years of painstaking effort into that island! Now, it's time for us to break even! "
The man in the brocade robe said angrily.
"There is a way! As long as we can kill Lo Chen. "
Den Den Mushi said, paused, then laughed.
"But obviously, we can't kill him."
"Defeat Kaido, his strength has reached the point where even the world government has to be cautious. Let's …"
"Oh ~"
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid I'm nothing in his eyes."
After the sarcastic and bitter words, the Den Den Mushi fell into silence.
"Bastard!!"
The man in the brocade robe gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and cursed.
Lo Chen, on the other hand, was looking at piles of documents. Below him, there were three ministers bowing respectfully.
This is the Church Palace in the central town of Andoro. Three days ago, Lo Chen ordered it to be transformed into a temporary palace. Lo Chen uses it to deal with affairs.
"Very good, the three of you are very capable."
After a long while, Lo Chen said with a smile.
After hearing Lo Chen's affirmation, the three ministers, who didn't sleep well for the past few days, were finally relieved.
"The army has been established, and the government officials have been appointed and dismissed, the only thing left is the finance."
Lo Chen looked at the finance minister in the middle of the three ministers.
"Lord, please rest assured, in less than a day, the first batch of taxes will be in your hands. The reason why it's slow is because there are too many merchants coming and going. It will take some time to calculate, please forgive me. "
The finance minister hurriedly said respectfully.
Luo Chen's eyes flashed as he looked at the finance minister with interest. Only when the latter was drenched in cold sweat did Luo Chen laugh.
"Then I'll wait for you for a day, but you don't need to hand over all the taxes. Leave 20% for the construction and transformation of the island."
"20% for the army and law and order maintenance."
"Ten percent is reserved for the salaries of your officials, as well as education."
When the three ministers heard this, their eyes were full of shock. In just three short sentences, Luo Chen had already given up 50% of the profits he originally had.
This was completely unimaginable for them.
"Lord is merciful."
The three ministers bowed respectfully.
"I'm not merciful, if I don't do a good job, I have nothing to lose, but you."
After a pause.
"But your head will fall to the ground."
The three ministers were shocked, and cold sweat oozed out of their heads.
Under high pressure, the three ministers were more diligent and active than anyone else. Their behavior also made the whole island operate at high speed, and it was changing every day.
"The port needs to be renovated, rebuilt, and styled according to Lord Lo Chen's instructions."
"The palace also needs to be built as soon as possible. It's our dereliction of duty to let Lord Lo live in that broken church!"
"The army, the training of the army is still not enough. Haven't we found an instructor? What should we do?! "
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Andoro Island became lively.
Andoro Island, in a small tavern.
"Did you see that? This captain's ambition was not small. It only took three days for this island to become like a kingdom. "
Locke raised his glass and said playfully.
"Isn't this what you want? Locke. "
Xiu Sen suddenly said with a serious expression.
"You used to be a general!"
