After destroying Roy and other naval forces, as well as the Sapphire Pirates, other warships returned to various places within the sphere of influence such as Red Leaf Village to rest. William took the flying scissors to the town where the base of the 16th Division of the Navy was located.

Tony, Manny and Angie, as well as Rat and Akin and his group were waiting for William at the dock.

After William asked them to board the boat, Lieutenant Colonel Mouse seemed a little nervous and restless. He opened his mouth to ask something from time to time, but he never said it.

"Roy is dead." William said directly when he saw his appearance.

The mouse opened his eyes wide, gasped in excitement, and murmured to himself: "The 16th Division is mine..."

Ajin, who was beside him, turned his head and curled his lips disdainfully.

"Even if it's not now, it will be right away."

William smiled at the mouse, hugged his shoulder, took him to the desk, and opened a wooden box with Brugem's head inside.

The mouse turned his head a little afraid, and William smiled deeper: "The most important thing now is how to write the report you gave to your superiors. Have you studied it?"

"No, I'm waiting for your news," said Lieutenant Colonel Mouse honestly, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Col. Roy heard that the Chef Pirates were leaving the East China Sea and heading to the Great Route. They were unwilling to let them escape their pursuit, so they drove the boat to capture them, and they were killed." William pointed to the head of the box on the table again, "When the Sapphire Pirates heard that Roy was away, they invaded the waters under the jurisdiction of the Sixteenth Division. You, who were staying at the base, fought with other officers and soldiers. Sacked the pirate captain Brugem, what do you think of this statement?"

"It needs some polish," the mouse thought, touching his beard, "but there is no problem with the general direction."

A group of people turned black and white and took the charges to other innocent people.

After discussing with Rat and others how to frame them, the most important thing was to hand over the body of the main cadres of the Sapphire Pirates to Rat and Ajin, and William returned to Kalmar City without stopping.

He did not park in the civilian area, but took a boat under a simple dock in the slums. The slums in this city are still not much changed compared to a year ago. William has no administrative power, no way to deeply influence and change the environment of this place, and no way to eradicate the fundamental problems of the slums. Crime cannot be effectively governed. If a person cannot survive, he will naturally take risks.

William eliminated a local gang or other criminal gang. In a short time, a new gang will emerge, as if weeds were endless. These people also knew that William and his subordinates had strong military power, but they were not very capable, so they seemed more careful and did not dare to provoke William easily. Compared with the previous criminal forces, they seemed much cunning.

The population of the entire slum area is hundreds of thousands. Even if William has a Sihai Business Club and other incomes, he is unable to improve the lives of the residents here immediately. In this year, he can only try his best to establish some welfare institutions in the slum area, such as a well-off house. In addition to winning people's hearts and spreading his good reputation in the slum area, he mainly hosts some children. The several primary schools he established in the slum area, even if the fees are exempt, no local residents will actively send their children to school. It can be filled with children who can be accommodated by shelter. Danpiel's view is very accurate. When he is temporarily unable to take charge and cannot promote compulsory education, he will not only have the teaching staff, but also the students will not be recruited.

However, Roy has been eliminated now, and when the mouse becomes the colonel and the supreme commander of the 16th Division, the naval power in this sea area will be controlled by him, and the time for him to seize power will be approaching.

The census is actually to prepare for some policies that William may formulate in the future.

William led several subordinates to travel through the slums. In the past year, many people in the slums had known William and his team. A statue of William stood in front of the gate of the abbot, with half-body portraits of him. Occasionally, some people who have been helped by the abbot would bow to him. Some other members of the criminal gang were sneaky and dared not look at them.

When he reached the steps leading to the civilian area, William sighed at the drainage outlets on both sides that kept draining sewage and stolen goods, and then continued to move forward. The changes in civilian areas were much greater than those in slums. The walls of the noble areas had not been seen as high as those in slums, but the taxes had been collected a lot. The people in the slums were poor and could not collect money at all. Although the people in the noble areas had money, they were unwilling to pay money from their own pockets. In the end, the burden could only fall on the civilians sandwiched in the middle.

Along the way, the streets, which had already shown signs of prosperity, had become depressed. William came to a mansion at Denpiel at the junction of the civilian and noble areas before stopping.

He followed William's crew and followed the housekeeper to the living room to rest. He then walked towards the study under the guidance of his servant.

The servant went to the door of the study and smiled apologetically at William. He knocked on the door first, and then pushed open the door.

After entering, what caught my eye was a very spectacular scene. The entire study room could occupy more than a quarter of the house. Just like a large library, except for the bookshelf in the middle, the walls on all sides were also filled with dense books. Several servants with gloves and headscarves climbed up and down the ladder, cleaning carefully.

This is Danpiel's most proud property, even surpassing his weapons company, and he calls it the "study room" of the largest treasure in the East China Sea.

As its name suggests, a room full of books.

William was quite novel when he first came, but now he wasn't that surprised. He also knew that Denpiel had a basement that was not as open as here, with books that were a bit contradictory to the government.

Bypassing the rows of tall bookshelf, Danpiel was lying on a desk at the other end of the room, burying his head and writing and painting.

After William stood at his desk and coughed softly, Danpiel raised his head and glanced at William with his gray eyes, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Is the matter solved?"

Danpiel waved his hand to the servant behind William and signaled him to leave. Then he put down the pen in his hand and walked behind the desk with William.

On the wall behind the desk, there is a secret door that is also disguised as a bookshelves. It is difficult to detect if you don’t pay attention. This is actually the study where Danpiel’s real office is, and even servants are not allowed to enter.

This private study, which is not very large, looks a bit messy, with many things hanging on the walls, including a bird's-eye view of Kalmar City, news clippings of sea trains, and even a small blackboard.

The middle of the blackboard contains two big characters "population" and several diagonal lines are drawn below, pointing to three words:

Going to the countryside, immigration, industry.
