To make these planters looking for a way out feel at home, this is Sheffield's purpose. In his imagination, he naturally hopes that one person can push everything, but his reason tells him that this is impossible. Sheffield

The family cannot face all the problems on its own, not to mention the problems left over from history like the Yankees and the Dixies.

Both Annabelle and himself felt that if these planters could come back, the advantages would definitely outweigh the disadvantages. It would be much better than the Sheffield family fighting alone. After all, they had all stood in the same trench, and the fighting friendship was still there.

The first thing you need to be familiar with is the police system. Before the Civil War, the United States established the modern American police system, forming a situation where police forces directly under the federal government and police forces under local management coexisted.

As for Sheffield, he is not familiar with this aspect. The police in each state are not the same, and the laws are actually different. This is not Texas, so naturally he has no acquaintances. But fortunately, the ones left here are

The management team is no stranger to this matter.

Naturally, the police department poses no threat to them, but the police department in Louisiana is quite strong. After all, the black people here make up the majority. If the police department is not strong enough, the crime rate will really increase.

Arresting and punishing people cannot solve all problems, but it can also solve many problems. The first state-wide police law enforcement department was Texas, which had just become independent decades ago, and established some norms for police in every state in the United States, such as

Blue police uniform this.

Therefore, at the beginning of its establishment, the selection and appointment of police officers, as well as the content and tasks of their work, were deeply affected by local politics. This determines that the main task of the current police department is to serve local politics and provide various services to the local people who support them.

Various services.

Police departments of different parties and regions have obviously different service priorities. Although we are about to enter the 20th century, the police departments in the north and south of the United States are still very different. The difference from other countries is that although the police of the United States are now

It has been perfected for decades, but because it is not responsible to the coalition government, the situation of local state politics influencing the police has reached its peak. The police and politics are more closely connected, and there are no constraints on the police department, and there is no need to rely on central power.

Responsible, therefore individual police officers have high authority and discretion in law enforcement.

In later generations, the police of the United States would easily draw their guns and collapse, and America would enjoy gunfights every day. That is just a historical tradition. The current police department of the United States is like this, even worse. It is even less constrained.

But it depends on who it is targeting. As a violent organization, it is natural to deal with ordinary people. Sheffield and his guests naturally do not fall into this category. They are not ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, Sheffield invited the major police chiefs in New Orleans to come to Oak Manor as a guest. No one would care about this matter. The police department in this era was linked to politics and reflected the will of the ruler. The middle class.

Dissatisfied, forcing the police department to serve the public will still have to wait for ten or twenty years.

"Master William, being able to come to New Orleans shows that the Sheffield family has not forgotten us. For New Orleans and even the entire state of Louisiana, the Sheffield family's industry has played a role in serving the public." Sheriff West Fourth

When he was more than ten years old, he was the kind of police chief who was very authoritative. In other words, among the ordinary people, he could be regarded as the one-handed man who was awe-inspiring.

Several police chiefs, including Chief West, came to Oak Manor. They were kind-hearted and upright. Sheffield looked at the police chief with an obvious Mediterranean hairstyle and concluded in his heart that the other person must be at work.

He looks like he is prematurely old when he is overworked and exhausted both physically and mentally. Sheriffs are all like this, so why worry about the alliance... The United States is not strong.

"You can't say that. Our family has only made a small contribution. After all, this is the hometown of the Sheffield family. How could we just leave and ignore it?" Sheffield said with a look of "don't stop."

Please continue to praise my hypocrisy, but I pretended to be humble and said, "It's my hometown after all. If our family left, Louisiana's economy would have problems, and people would lose their jobs, neither my grandmother nor I would feel sorry.

No?"

"Yes, yes..." Chief West nodded frequently, apparently agreeing with Sheffield's view. If the Sheffield family wasn't nostalgic, wouldn't many people be able to find jobs? New Orleans' economy would definitely have problems.

At this moment, a servant tiptoed over, bent down and whispered to Sheffield. Sheffield tilted his head and nodded imperceptibly, and praised Sheriff West again, "Last year eight

Some people are not working at the dock. Thank you Sheriff West for punishing those gangsters. These gangsters just don't understand how many dock workers our family's transportation industry supports. They go on strike and make trouble. If our family loses a lot of money, they can't give them wages.

, more workers will be harmed in this way, and Sheriff West knows this very well."

"Those hooligans are indolent and do not think about how to live their lives every day. They are always sneaking around and interfering with the work of the port and terminal. As the Sheriff of New Orleans, how can I turn a blind eye?" Sheriff West straightened his back and took charge of his duty.

A hint of assurance said, "The business at the port has been somewhat dull in the past few years. As a police officer, how can I see things happening that disturb the residents of New Orleans?"

"There is nothing we can do about it, but of course I will remember Sheriff West's help!" Sheffield nodded in approval. After the Democratic Party came to power, the tariffs were lowered, and the smuggling business was naturally affected. This delayed some

The income of police officers, but with the Sheffield family here, this is a temporary difficulty.

"Chief West's son has done a good job at the customs. Our family has seen it, and I believe your son will do better and better in the future!" Sheffield praised without hesitation, pointing his finger on the table to emphasize.

He said, "It just so happens that a group of guests are visiting the manor. They are all our own people and they will definitely get along very happily. In the future, New Orleans will definitely become a bustling and prosperous port again, just like it was decades ago."

Sheffield waved his hand and asked the servant to go down and bring Gale's group over and introduce them to the Louisiana police officers.

Bang! The goblets of bright red wine touched together. The upright police officers and the law-abiding businessmen were together. It was another beautiful day. Looking at this beautiful scene, Sheffield turned around to look
Chapter completed!
