Seeing that Liu Haojia was resolute and confident, Li Wenliang couldn't stand in the way and do something that was not good for his brothers, so he could only nod and acquiesce.
In fact, Liu Haojia had his own reasons for doing this. First, the soldiers' pay was too low, and he felt a little sympathetic. Another point is that he is cultivating the market. Only when the people below have money, can people buy the goods they produce in the future!
But the most critical point is to prevent civil servants from interfering! Now he is giving double pay to the soldiers. How much money will the civil servants have to pay if they want to intervene in the future? Just this level alone should make those people think carefully! Even if they really intervene and can't get any money, will the soldiers listen to them?
Then Liu Haojia said: "The second thing is to repair the warship immediately and add guns and cannons! We also need to take back all the rented ships and manpower them! In short, I want to see a fully manned ship. I can A fleet that fights hard!”
Zhang Zhiyong couldn't hold back his words at this time and said: "But Marshal, we have signed a lease with those merchants, and we will pay money when the ship is taken back!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Then compensate them, we are not short of that little money! Let's talk about the third thing, go back and tell all the brothers, those who want to get promoted and make a fortune stay, and those who want to live and die, leave our navy as soon as possible , I will repay him any amount of salary he owes when he leaves!"
"The fourth thing is that after you go back, you should organize many drills for the brothers to familiarize themselves with battle tactics, and at the same time, strict discipline, so that the brothers know that we are soldiers and the navy!"
No one has any objection to strict training. Being a soldier means practicing. So everyone agreed in unison.
Then Liu Haojia took out a thick book from the sleeve of his boots and put it on the table, and then said: "There is also a fifth thing. This is the naval drill code I wrote during this period. You can take it back and study it carefully. Which ones can be used now?" You must be aware of what is being implemented and what is unreasonable and needs to be corrected, and you will be able to tell me when I arrive!"
Zhang Zhiyong reached out to pick up the naval drill code, but Liu Haojia held him down and said, "There's no rush. You can read it slowly when you get back. I have one last point to tell you."
When Zhang Zhiyong sat back in his seat, Liu Haojia looked at everyone and said word by word: "I know that the navy had a hard time in the past, so the brothers were inevitably involved with the pirates. Some even changed their flags after going to sea and started plundering. ! But now if you want money, I will give you money, and if you want something, I will give you something, then this kind of thing must never happen again! Once discovered, don’t blame the ruthless military law!"
Everyone looked much more solemn when they heard this, but a few people looked a little embarrassed. It seems like this kind of thing is done a lot! So Liu Haojia recalled the names of these people in his mind, and decided to watch more and send more people to keep an eye on these people in the future.
Liu Haojia waited for a while and then said loudly: "Can these things be done?"
Li Wenliang got ahead of everyone and said directly, "Don't worry, young commander, I will definitely be able to do it if you are a low-ranking officer!"
Others also followed suit, saying that they would obey the young marshal's command and implement these things when they return. However, Liu Haojia also knows that there is still a long way to go to build a nearly modern navy, so there is no need to rush.
So he picked up the wine bowl and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. We won't get home until we get drunk today!"
Everyone's expressions immediately relaxed after hearing this, and they all picked up their wine bowls and responded loudly, and the atmosphere returned to the same enthusiasm as before! The price is that almost everyone at the table is drunk!
Fortunately, everyone was still a little clear-sighted and knew not to go too far when appearing in front of their boss for the first time, as they were not completely drunk yet. Liu Haojia was a little better than everyone else. This did not mean that he had a good drinking capacity, but that these people did not dare to drink from him, so he was only half or six points drunk.
Finally, everyone came out of Zuixian Tower. Liu Haojia directly booked an inn for everyone to rest, and agreed on a time to meet tomorrow before going back to rest.
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia gathered everyone and rushed directly to the Jingshi Bank in the small teaching field in the west of the city. This time the team has grown a lot, because the soldiers who went out to have fun yesterday have returned to the team.
When they heard that the young man in front of them was their future boss, they were quite disapproving. In their impression, the sea was not a good place for gold plating! The churning sea doesn't matter which royal family member you are, it's common for a huge wave to break a ship and kill people!
Moreover, the navy hates uninformed officers who give random orders, because at sea it is not like on land, where there is no place to run! Once a command error occurs and the ship is destroyed and people are killed, it will not only harm yourself, but also harm others!
But when they heard that their new boss had given them 200,000 taels of silver, and that they would be paid double wages in the future, they were simply shocked, and their disdain for Liu Haojia immediately turned into admiration. Everyone's attitude was extremely respectful!
But then something even more shocking happened to them! That is when they really arrived at the gate of Jingshi Bank! Seeing the tall lintel, not to mention the soldiers' legs were weak, even the officers were dizzy!
When they were brought in and came directly outside the bank, they saw the huge iron door and the carvings on it that looked like beasts that wanted to devour people. They were even more surprised and speechless!
Then the bank was opened, and a man wearing special clothes would push out boxes of silver. Every time a box was pushed out, the box would be opened in person, revealing rows of large ingots supported by special wooden boards. It was even more interesting to see. They were dazzled! One soldier even sat down on the ground. He probably had never seen so much money placed in front of him in his life!
After all the money was moved out, Liu Haojia said to Li Wenliang: "You have inspected the money with your own eyes. The amount is sufficient. Then you will be responsible for escorting it back!"
But at this time, Li Wenliang subconsciously said: "Young Marshal, aren't you afraid that the rest of us will take the money and run away?"
Liu Haojia laughed loudly, and then said: "You fifty or so people are divided into two hundred thousand taels of silver, how much can each person get? And I am not afraid to tell you clearly, as long as you follow me and work hard, this money is just for leisure, you can make a lot of money." The days will come later!”
Li Wenliang looked dazedly at the boxes of money and nodded repeatedly! He is not so stupid as to take the money and run away. And where could he run to? Besides, if two hundred thousand taels of silver are divided among dozens of people, they might even fight each other and lose their future prospects. It’s not worth it!
