However, the activities of the nobles cannot be hidden from the eyes of the civil servants. Naturally, they also want to know what the trouble is when the nobles gather together. But they had not seen the renderings in Liu Haojia's hands, and the people who sent people to Tianjin to check it only said that Liu Haojia was just leveling the land and building roads on the fiefdom, and they just knew that he wanted large-scale civil engineering. Therefore, many civil servants paid little attention to him, thinking that this person was just a drunkard and a womanizer.
With this conclusion, some people are ready to take action again! Especially the censors from the Inspectorate! After they determined that Liu Haojia had no back-ups, they decided to attack him again!
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is equivalent to killing their parents! After Liu Haojia stopped allocating money to the Procuratorate, all the censors hated him and thought about overthrowing Liu Haojia all the time! They even want to take the matter of collecting money into their own hands! The censors have been miserable for a long time, and it’s time to make up for it!
And this kind of thing should be left to them, the clear streamers! They are truly moral people, and naturally they will not be as greedy as those corrupt officials! Want to know what Qingliu is? It’s those of us who are as clear as water and have high moral standards!
But they didn't want to think about it. Liu Haojia had a purpose for sharing his wealth with Tan Mo. Could it be that he had too much money and needed to spread it around? As a result, these people from the Inspectorate took Liu Haojia's money and used his money to improve his political performance. How could Liu Haojia tolerate this kind of thing? That's why things got to this point!
But the censors of the Inspectorate don’t think so! In their view, it is only natural for them to impeach certain people! After all, this is how we make a living! I'm impeaching you. If you share some money and come over, this matter will be over naturally!
Everyone does this, why can't you accept it and actually cut off our money! So for more than half a year, the people from the Inspectorate have been keeping a close eye on Liu Haojia, always ready to bite a piece of flesh off him!
However, Liu Haojia didn't know what the Inspectorate was going to do at this time, and all his thoughts were already on the sea. Now he is holding a letter from Liu Guangting in his hand. The letter explains that he has just conquered a group of pirates, and all the prisoners have moved to Ryukyu, which is Taiwan!
Now Liu Guangting can be said to have a strong army and a strong horse! Now he has more than 60 large and small ships under his command. The Beiyang Fleet in Quanzhou has been continuously sending arms, equipment and various supplies, and has fully armed the fleet and settlements!
Not to mention anything else, just going to the Da Liuqiu settlement, not counting the young and strong pirates who went to sea, there were already more than 3,000 people, and it was already a huge town! And Liu Guangting has already planned to build a second gathering place in the upper reaches of the river mouth!
Moreover, the Beiyang Fleet sent them not only weapons and food, but also a lot of construction materials. Now there are four forts rising from the ground at the mouth of the river! In addition, the outer walls of the settlement are also being built, and the settlement now looks more and more like a small town!
At this time, the pirates who had been training for half a month had already set sail again. Their goal was the alliance of the three pirates. Liu Haojia, who was reading the letter, didn't know yet that Liu Guangting was leading his fleet to ride the wind and waves.
At this time, Liu Guangting has completed the deployment of the battle. Let's see how the battle goes. So now he is sitting on the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze blowing in front of him. Very comfortable!
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw three young people approaching. He was very familiar with these three people. They were all orphans adopted by the Liu family back then. Now he is his right-hand man!
These three people were about the same age and entered the government at the same time, so when they were named, they were based on the three characters "famous" in the "Three Character Classic", so the three people were called Liu Ming and Liu Juhe respectively. Liu Yang!
Seeing these three people, Liu Guangting couldn't help but feel in a trance! He still remembered that when they first entered the house, the three children huddled together among the other children, looking around timidly and hopefully! But now, after several years of study and experience, especially in the waves, they have become strong men in their own right! This made him lament that he was getting old!
Seeing Liu Guangting turn around, Liu Mingqi smiled, his skin tanned by the scorching sun taking advantage of the opportunity.
His teeth are exceptionally white! He said: "The wind is blowing here again, Uncle Guangting, we are here to accompany you!"
Before every battle, Liu Guangting would get together with these servants. Because no one knows whether they can come back alive every time they fight! In the years since he left Uncle Gu Ning's house, two of the servants he took away have been damaged and two have been disabled!
When they sat down together to relax and enjoy the sea breeze, Liu Guangting took out a handful of beans and gave each of them a small handful. He chewed the beans and said, "Where are the other brothers?"
Liu Ming knew that Liu Guangting was just asking subconsciously. He knew the location of every servant very well, so he casually said, "They are all checking the weapons on their respective ships."
Liu Guangting nodded and said, "How is the morale of the brothers below?"
Liu Ming smiled and said, "That's great! Since we paid them according to the second young master's request, everyone has become much more stable! They also obey the orders more!"
You know, pirates are a very loose group, and it is difficult to really control them! But Liu Haojia found another way and specially allocated a sum of money to pay the pirates! The salary is not much, only five silver coins per month!
Although the money was not much, it completely won over the pirates' minds! Many people watch movies about pirates at home and abroad and may think that this is a very romantic profession, but in fact it is not the case at all!
The life of a pirate is very miserable. Not only are there official campaigns to suppress them, but they also have to face fighting from their fellow pirates! There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine when we are floating around in the sea. If we get sick, we have to wait and see if God will take care of us! Not to mention food and fresh water, which are always in scarcity!
Especially since their income is extremely unstable! If you wander around the sea all day long, you are considered lucky if you can successfully rob one of the ten ships you encounter! And you don’t know if you will die during the battle! Even after the robbery is successful, the owner still has to be exploited when selling the dirty goods, and the money actually received is greatly reduced!
Even so, the real winner is the pirate leader. When it's divided into the hands of the bottom pirates, there won't be much silver left! And since Liu Haojia paid them wages, the pirates have become more obedient!
