Liu Haojia also saw the thoughts of the people present at this time, so he said without concealment: "It seems that everyone has guessed something! Then I can tell you clearly that you have almost all guessed it right! This time I I’m just bringing everyone here to get promoted and make a fortune!”
The eyes of all the officers immediately lit up, looking at Liu Haojia very eagerly! Getting promoted is a good thing, and getting rich is also a good thing. If the two can be connected together, it will be an even greater good thing! And this can definitely be done at sea!
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "Let's talk about promotion first. This is the simplest. Kill pirates and achieve military merit! As for the ways to get rich, there are more ways! I will talk about the simpler ones first, and the other ways to make money will be discussed later. Will arrange it slowly!"
At this point, Liu Haojia looked at everyone's red eyes and said: "What I'm going to talk about today is the loot! All officers and soldiers will get 50% of all the loot! Of the remaining 50%, 10% will be given to Long Live Lord's inner treasury! 20% will be used for maintenance and additions." Battleships. The other 20% will be saved to provide pensions for the sacrificed and disabled soldiers! The detailed entries will be announced later!"
As soon as Liu Haojia finished speaking, more than a dozen officers already cheered loudly! It's not like they've never done this before, they just did it secretly! And it doesn’t take much money, and it will be even less if it is divided equally among everyone!
The main reason is that pirates' lairs are difficult to find, and even if they are found, they are dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack! If we attack, we will suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses! Even if they block a few pirate ships at sea, there will be no oil or water on them! Those pirates can't come out with gold and silver to rob!
The officers cheered for a while and then fell silent. It was Li Wenzhong who stood up and saluted Liu Haojia first and said, "I would like to thank you Marshal on behalf of my brothers! I just don't know if the 20% pension is enough?"
Liu Haojia said: "We don't know the details yet, but I have asked people from Jingshi Bank to help with the calculations. The results should be available when we come back from the south!"
Li Wenliang thanked Liu Haojia again and sat down. At this time, Zhang Zhiyong stood up and said nervously: "Young Marshal, let's give His Majesty money, can he accept it? Don't put a hot face on a cold butt!"
Liu Haojia laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this! You don’t know how fanatical Emperor Wanli is about money now. How can he not want the money that comes to his door? However, he still said seriously: "Long live Lord should want it! The money we use now is all allocated by Long live Lord. We can't let Long live Lord support us in vain. We also need to let Long live Lord get some money back!" "
Everyone laughed again when they heard this! After Zhang Zhiyong sat down, he still said as if he was dreaming: "Oh my God! Let's sit on the ground with His Majesty and divide the spoils. If this is done, I can brag about it for the rest of my life! I..."
Liu Haojia grabbed the roster on the table and threw it over, hitting Zhang Zhiyong in the face and knocking back the second half of his words! Everyone was startled by Liu Haojia's actions, and then burst into laughter! In particular, Li Wenliang pinched Zhang Zhiyong's neck and said: "If you can't speak, just stop talking! If word of this spreads, it will be a serious crime to confiscate the house and destroy the family!"
After everyone laughed for a while, Liu Haojia said: "When we set out this time, I didn't tell you about the suppression of bandits, just because I was afraid that you would leak the news! When you go back this time, what should you say and what should not be said? Say, you have to have an idea in mind!"
Everyone immediately said in unison: "Don't worry, young commander! I understand!"
Liu Haojia nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Since we are out to suppress bandits, we must have several goals! Therefore, for the pirates we want to fight, we must first ensure that they have money. We cannot fight a battle in vain and lose our brothers in vain! We also need to They must be guilty of heinous crimes! A group of pirates like this must be killed to shock them!"
Zhang Zhiyong interrupted at this time and said: "Young Marshal, are your words superfluous? If the pirates are rich, they must be the most evil! Otherwise, where did they get the money? It is not stolen!"
Everyone laughed again when they heard this, and they seemed to be full of hope for this bandit suppression! And Liu Haojia thought about it and smiled, and said: "I really didn't expect this, it is indeed a bit repetitive! Forget it, let's talk about something else! The first one is the people recovered after the pirates were eliminated. Those who should be killed should be killed. Then give the rest to Liu Guangting, and he will place them in Da Liuqiu! The second point is that those pirates who did not do much evil will be directly merged into Liu Guangting's hands after they surrender! From now on, he will be the peripheral force of our navy. What's the point? He will do everything that is inconvenient for us to do!”
Everyone was even more happy when they heard this! Because they know that with the existence of Liu Guangting, they have a stable channel for selling stolen goods! Everything they capture can be sold for a good price! So their eyes on Liu Guangting became even more eager!
At this time, Liu Guangting took out a lot of square pieces of cloth from his arms, spread them on the table and said at the same time: "This is the sea chart I have drawn in the past few years. Which pirates on it can be persuaded to surrender, and which ones can't be persuaded to surrender?" Those who need to kill a group of people after the stronghold is breached, and those who need to be spared are all marked on them!"
Liu Haojia immediately grabbed a large chart and spread it out, and said at the same time: "You guys will mark it on the chart together!"
Li Wenliang and others took the piece of cloth and started marking it on the chart without him having to say it a second time! I also checked with Liu Guangting and others from time to time! Fortunately, everyone was familiar with the sea, and they quickly marked the locations of all the pirates clearly on the chart!
When all the targets were marked, everyone took a breath of air when they looked carefully at the large chart! And Zhang Zhiyong murmured to himself: "Get rich! Get rich!"
Just as everyone was talking excitedly, Li Wenliang suddenly noticed that there was no movement from Liu Haojia. He looked up and saw Liu Haojia sitting there motionless with a straight face. Li Wenliang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He immediately pulled Zhang Zhiyong and motioned for everyone to quiet down.
When everyone saw Liu Haojia's bad expression, they immediately calmed down and stopped talking. In fact, Liu Haojia's prestige in the navy is not as great as expected! Now everyone is obedient because he smashed the money, and there is also the great god Wanli Emperor behind him, so everyone seems to be a little bit obedient! Therefore, he must put on a serious look from time to time, just to strengthen this impression.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Haojia glanced at everyone coldly, then patted the chart on the table and said, "You all have really disappointed me!"
