Liu Tang said: "Yes, that's it! So when the time was almost up, my subordinates and brothers released the second batch of news, saying that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Navy had been given double pay, and it was real. Buckle! So the navy soldiers here were a little confused! After the merchants from the north confirmed it, the soldiers were completely confused, and they all began to question why the superior officer did not pay double the salary? At this point, the subordinates have to ask One sentence, Second Young Master, do you also have arrangements in the Navy?"
Liu Haojia said: "Why do you say that?"
The master said: "It's like this. Just when the soldiers were asking whether the superior officers had double pay, several generals actually paid the full amount when they were paid! However, the full amount mentioned by the subordinates was the previous standard. Full quota, not double full quota! So I am thinking, did these generals pass the news with the second young master? Otherwise, they would not be so cooperative with the news released by the brothers. "
Liu Haojia said: "You are right, there are indeed people here who cooperate with us. However, they may not be of the same mind as us. They are just here for high-ranking officials and generous salaries. We cannot completely count on them!"
Liu Tang slapped his thigh and said, "My subordinates guessed it was the same! But the effect was really great! Because they confirmed the double salary issue with such a payment! Then my subordinates immediately released the next batch of information, It is said that the money has been allocated, but the officials swallowed all the money and refused to pay it back! Only a few conscientious generals took out a sum of money to reissue it to everyone! So at that time, the soldiers below They were so angry that they had many conflicts with Shangguan!"
Liu Haojia sighed and said: "If there was no other way, I wouldn't want to use such a trick! The soldiers at the bottom are so pitiful! They have to do the hardest and most tiring work, and they have to fight with their heads raised, but they don't even have full pay. I can’t even get my salary! Now that I have hope, I naturally want to seize it!”
Liu Tang said: "Yes, I also discussed it with several brothers. They all said that it would be okay if there was no hope and just live in confusion! But there was hope but it was taken away. Naturally, these soldiers If you are not willing to give in, you will definitely have a conflict with Shangguan!"
Liu Haojia said: "Yes, I just want to use the soldiers at the bottom to suppress the officers at the top, otherwise they will not be obedient! You go on to tell the following situation."
Liu Tang said: "Brothers have been busy spreading news these days, that the second young master is going to bring the northern fleet to test the war readiness of the south, and maybe he will investigate the officer above for swallowing the money. The effect is not bad, now These soldiers gather together every day to discuss this matter, and they don’t even go out to sea!”
Liu Haojia raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "So, the Jiangnan Navy is now in chaos?"
Liu Tang said with certainty: "It is indeed a mess!"
Liu Haojia was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Well done! But now you start from the beginning and tell me in detail."
Then Liu Tang started to talk about what they did after arriving here? How? Who did you come into contact with? How far have things come to this? How to infer? I told him in detail. And many records were produced to support it.
The servants trained by Uncle Gu Ning's Mansion are a little different from other families. Although they do many things the same, the biggest difference is that they are used to leaving various records and data to prove what they have done and what they have done. argument.
Once these things are taken out, it will be enough for the superiors to deduce the extent of the matter. It can be said that as long as they do not falsify, these data and records can be used as a basis for decision-making.
By the time Liu Tang finished talking about everything, his mouth was already dry. He drank the cold tea in one gulp and watched Liu Haojia slowly flipping through all the records.
After a while, Liu Haojia finally closed the record that he had read twice, and said with a smile: "Well done! You have completely captured the southern navy and merged it into the navy. You have contributed a lot! Today..."
Just as I said this, I heard a knock on the door outside, and I heard voices. Liu Tang said with joy: "Second Young Master, some brothers from outside are back!"
Liu Haojia said hurriedly: "Then welcome them in quickly!"
Liu Tang opened the door, and five people came in. They were the servants who had gone out to do errands. They came in and saw Liu Haojia sitting on a chair with a smile. They were so surprised that they hurried forward to pay their respects.
Afterwards, Liu Haojia encouraged them and finally said: "You guys have worked hard in the south, and I will treat you to dinner today as a reward!"
The servants cheered when they heard this! When they stopped, Liu Haojia said: "But on the one hand, I want to treat you to a meal. On the other hand, I also want to hear what the soldiers think! So you will choose a place where Navy soldiers often hang out." A tavern is the best.”
Liu Tang nodded and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, this place does exist! But the taste of the food is just average!"
Liu Haojia said: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is wine and meat there!"
Liu Tang patted his chest and said, "If you say so, there will be no problem! But if the second young master wants to hear the real situation, he has to do something first!"
Liu Haojia said: "Are we still going to do anything?"
Liu Tang said: "Second Young Master, the life of soldiers in the navy is actually very hard, and they are reluctant to go out to restaurants! But our brothers know many navy officers and soldiers, so we made an appointment with them under the pretext of winning money in the casino. A few people have a drink together to lure people out."
Liu Haojia said: "In that case, just go and make arrangements!"
Liu Tang agreed, grabbed two people to give instructions, and the two left happily. Then Liu Tangtiao turned back and said, "Second Young Master, it's almost dinner time now. Let's rush to the tavern slowly and sit down to wait for them."
Liu Haojia did his best, and under the leadership of Liu Tang, he walked out of the courtyard and walked slowly as a car. At the same time, listening to Liu Tang introducing them to the scenery and allusions along the way, they learned a lot about Quanzhou.
Everyone came to a restaurant with a disguise. It's more like a slightly larger pub than a restaurant. This pub is on the edge of the residential area, and there are about a dozen similar pubs here, but this one is slightly larger than the others. However, there were not many people eating at this time, and all the pubs were empty.
