1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 253 California Intelligence
"Is it the California Intelligence Agency that was established just a few days ago?"

Robinson thought of the California Intelligence Agency, which had just been established for less than a week. He didn't think a newly established department could play a big role in solving the demonstration.

The demonstration team of more than [-] people is a big trouble for the California Police Department.

"Yes, the matter will be resolved soon. The state government and the city government will continue to do what they should do. Don't worry about this demonstration. Those lawless people who incited the people will also pay for their actions. The price." Liang Yao said confidently.

It's not that the Loyalty Society can't be used, but it's not very suitable for this occasion.

After all, the Loyalty Society is only a non-governmental organization, and it is more appropriate to hand over the demonstrations to government agencies such as the California Intelligence Agency.

He believes that Pinkerton, the director of the California Intelligence Agency, is also capable of solving this demonstration.He just needs to wait for those troublesome enterprises and factories to pay the fine obediently.

At this time, in the Civic Square of San Francisco, a team rode tall horses and entered the Civic Square with a high profile.

The leader of this team is Pinkerton, director of the California Intelligence Agency.

Since the California Intelligence Agency was established less than a week ago, only high-level California officials and congressmen knew of the existence of the California Intelligence Agency.

Ordinary people don't know what the California Intelligence Agency is, but they just look curiously at these men wearing black round caps, black woolen overcoats, eye badges on their chests, and a pair of Colt Six on the left and right sides of their waists. The runner guy.

Are these guys the new cops in California?

Looking at the lively citizens and demonstrations in San Francisco Square, they couldn't help guessing while looking at these strange faces on the horse.

But these people with bad faces seem to have a different origin.

Some people also associate these people with the bandits who robbed houses in the west.

But before the crowd responded, Pinkerton pulled out the six-shot revolver on his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

"The CIA handles the case, and the idlers wait to leave!"

The onlookers let out a burst of exclamation and hurriedly left the Civic Square.

After the idle onlookers left, the originally crowded civic square instantly became spacious.

In such a huge civic square, only a thousand or so demonstrators were left in the blink of an eye.

They also held up slogans such as free work, no crime in labor, opposition to the right to deprive children of labor, and bread but not study, Liang Yao get out of power and other slogans.

But at this moment, facing more than a hundred fierce men in black with guns standing on the horse, these demonstrators immediately panicked.

The young politicians in California have no experience in dealing with demonstrations. These first demonstrators after the statehood of California have no experience in dealing with government suppression of demonstrations.

What's more, these people are not so much demonstrating, it is better to say that they are getting paid to go to work.

After all, holding a sign and shouting slogans around the civic square can get you $15, which is much easier than working on the assembly line in a factory.

The CIA agents on tall horses felt very oppressive to the demonstration crowd.

Facing the people of the CIA, this group of mobs were at a loss for a moment, and they froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"Arrests!"

Pinkerton waved his hand, and the CIA agents directly arrested the organizers and little leaders of the demonstration based on the identification of members of the Loyalty Society mixed in the crowd.

The arrest was made in as little as five minutes.

"You are limited to leave the Civic Square within five minutes. If you have not left the Civic Square within five minutes, the CIA will invite you and these gentlemen to go to our bureau for afternoon tea."

Pinkerton pointed to the arrested organizers and small bosses and shouted at the demonstrators who were frozen in place with a threatening tone.

In less than two minutes, the demonstrators in the Civic Square dispersed, fearing that they would be arrested if they walked too slowly.

They went to the square to raise signs and shout slogans for 15 dollars a day. It is not worth sending themselves to the police for this 15 dollars.

Although they don't know where the California Intelligence Agency is, they are all sure that this is by no means a good place.

Pinkerton doesn't look like a good guy, not a guy to mess with.

The city of San Francisco quickly restored its proper order. Everyone went back to their homes, where they should eat, and they should have fun and continue to have fun.

"Mr. Milners! There must be an insider among us! My assistant was arrested by some CIA just now!"

"How dare you arrest people in broad daylight! Is there any law in California?!"

"This is a reign of bloody brutality and terror!"

"The state government has no right to ask us to pay fines! This is a robbery! Who knows whose pocket the money will end up in!"

"The state government has gone too far! Not only has it robbed law-abiding taxpayers like us, but it has also deprived the people of their freedom to work!"

"If this goes on, we will all be finished, Mr. Milners, you must stand up and say something fair for us."

In a luxurious manor in Jinshan Bay, the factory owners huddled together to keep warm were furious after learning that the demonstration failed, and they all expressed their anger.

Everyone turned their attention to Milners, their leader.

Hope Milners, the leader, can lead them out of the predicament.

Milners was also distraught. At first, he was complacent when he saw that the San Francisco city government and the state government were helpless against the demonstrators.

But seeing that the demonstrations were easily resolved by the California Intelligence Agency, his mood fell into a valley instantly, as if he had returned to the time when he was escorting gold to leave the Sacramento mine.

Milners looked at John, an old friend who had shared thick and thin with him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

With a wine glass in John's hand, his father Backhouse sent him a letter asking him to establish a good relationship with Liang Yao and buy land in San Francisco for real estate.

John California's main industries are real estate and several gold mines in the Nevada administrative region.

And he doesn't need child labor in the gold mines in Nevada. It can be said that this matter has nothing to do with him. John, who is standing on the dry shore, is naturally not interested in participating in their affairs.

Of course, John is still interested in watching the theater.

John came here today mainly to watch the fun, not to get into trouble or trouble himself.

After being taught a few times, John has already learned how to behave, Liang Yao is not someone to be messed with.If you want to get rich in California, don't fight this kid.

Liang Yao is not a completely unreasonable person either, he works in a mine in the Nevada administrative region.As long as the tax is paid in time, no one will make it difficult for him, and the mined gold can also be taken out of California and shipped to New York.

Previously, John looked at Liang Yao with colored glasses, but after letting go of these prejudices, John also felt that the business environment in California was indeed not bad.There are also many opportunities to make money.

"Jeffrey, you said that you are a big taxpayer, but as far as I know, you run a coal mine, and California now exempts industrial and mining enterprises except gold." John said to Jeffrey.

"If you want to talk about the big taxpayer, I am the big taxpayer. What kind of big taxpayer are you? As for obeying the law and complaining that there is no law in California, it is because you violated the California law first and hired child labor. I advise you from the experience of those who have experienced it, sir. Pay the fine honestly, don't confront Liang Yao."

"John, I heard that your father and Liang Yao reached some kind of ulterior deal. At first I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is true." Milners was very disappointed with this old man.

"It's not an ulterior transaction, but a normal business cooperation." John said seriously.

"Milnas, recognize the reality. This is my advice to you as your old friend. The disintegration of the demonstrators is just the beginning. You and I both know that Liang Yao's means are more than these."

Based on John's understanding of Liang Yao, Liang Yao would never give up if he did not pay the fine to the state government.

"No! Gentlemen! Bank of America, Bank of Boston, Bank of Barings, and Bank of France issued announcements. Considering the reputation of the banks and their support for the California government's prohibition of child labor, they will no longer pay fines for those who have no social responsibility. Illegal businesses and factories provide loans!"

Milners' assistant ran into the hall and said to everyone, taking three steps at a time.

Knowing that all the banks in California would stop lending to them, the factory owners in the lobby bowed their heads in frustration like wilted eggplants.

They all know what this means, not only can they not continue to expand without bank loans.

The more serious problem is that their funds will not be able to turn around.

And the consequence of a broken capital chain is bankruptcy.
Milners closed his eyes in pain.

He does not lack these sons. Milners' family has a big business, and this small fine is just a drizzle for his family.

Apart from not wanting to pay the fine, Milners participated in this incident, the main purpose was to disgust Liang Yao.In order to repay the hatred of winning the gold.

Liang Yao showed his cards, and together with the Bank of Boston, the Bank of Barings, and the Bank of France, cut off the loans of these factory owners and cut off their capital chain.

These factory owners must not dare to continue fighting with Liang Yao, so they can only choose to obediently pay the fine.

He originally wanted to make things difficult for Liang Yao, and disgusted Liang Yao, but he didn't expect to make things difficult for himself in the end.

"Is there any worse news?"

Milners took a few deep breaths, calmed down and asked his assistant.

I thought there should be no worse news than this, right?

"Have."

Soon, the assistant's words gave Milners another merciless blow.

"Pay the fine now, and pay double the fine."

Hearing this news, Milners almost lost his footing and almost staggered and fell to the ground.

A few small factory owners with meager financial resources fainted in the dark
If he knew this would be the result, he might as well just pay the fine.
