Now Liu Pei enjoys a rare leisure time. Now he only needs to deal with a small amount of paperwork every day. Because all the armies under his command have been sent out to master Southeast Asia.

Now his general's barracks are filled with a bunch of happy old men! Their most important job of the day was to eat, sleep, and make some noise, so that people could feel that there were still a large number of soldiers in the barracks.

Liu Pei seized the window period when there was no war, and he scattered all the soldiers to master the new soldiers. The good Western colonists and the local natives came back to build an army capable of defending the villages and strongholds.

In other words, Liu Pei is now in an unprecedented period of weakness. The army has only two hundred men at any time, plus his guards. The Navy has only a dozen warships at its disposal. All the remaining ships that were able to go to sea were used to transport the victims and supplies.

Fortunately, Liu Pei's previous achievements frightened all the enemies, so that Liu Pei had this precious time for development. Liu Pei estimates that in half a year at the earliest, all the strongholds and villages in Southeast Asia will have the ability to protect themselves. At that time, his troops can be liberated, and that is when Liu Pei begins to digest Southeast Asia.

At the same time, Liu Pei went down from time to time to learn about the form of Shandong. Now in the three prefectures of Shandong Qingdenglai, the nominal largest landlord is Liu Pei! It's a pity that the land Liu Pei bought is all land such as barren beaches and barren mountains that others can't look at.

However, after the transformation of the tenants and Liu Pei's investment in recent years, these lands have been rich in output. Wasteland has been ploughed and composted, and has begun to be turned into mature fields. Now the wheat seedlings are breaking through the ground and growing strongly!

The barren mountains are full of fruit trees. The most numerous of them are apple trees. The branches of these trees are to be used by the army. Part of the fruit is made into preserved fruit to supplement the nutrition of the warriors. Most of the reproach was brewed for the needs of the army for the supply of wine.

Because since Liu Pei gained a foothold in Shandong, he has always faced a shortage of food. So he was reluctant to make wine from grain at all! But in order to meet the needs of the troops, he had to choose to use fruit

Wine to satisfy the appetite of the soldiers.

As for the land that was not suitable for farming, it was turned into a breeding farm under Liu Pei's instructions. Every year, a large number of chickens, ducks and pigs are bred and then sold to the troops. The lads of the army train hard and need a lot of nutritional supplements.

At the same time, the troops also need to periodically eliminate and replace material reserves. Therefore, it is not uncommon for there to be salted meat, salted chicken and other things on the market. Those were all expired materials stored in warehouses by Liu Pei's troops at a low price.

At the same time, due to Liu Pei's training needs in recent years, the bandits and horse bandits in the three places of Qingdenglai can be regarded as blood mold! Under the circumstance that Liu Pei was willing to give credit, the county orders in various places were very cooperative to let Liu Pei's army enter the country.

Liu Pei's soldiers exterminated mountain bandits and horse thieves, and gained experience and military exploits. And the county magistrates in various places have been given the credit for pacifying the localities. They can shamelessly write to the court about how many mountain bandits they have exterminated, and write down a great credit for their resumes. Therefore, the three places of Qingdenglai are exceptionally quiet. Not to mention that the road is not forgotten, it is almost the same!

The Bloody Hand also contributed to the quiet place. Although the Bloody Hand Gang has a very good reputation in the rivers and lakes, the common people basically do not know about the existence of the Bloody Hand Gang. Except for the people in Jiaozhou and Jimo, most of the people have never heard of the name of the Bloody Hand Gang.

But the influence of the Bloody Hand Gang in Shandong is extremely huge. Under their continuous blows and bribes, the various gangster organizations in the three prefectures of Qingdenglai either surrendered and became subordinate organizations of the Bloody Hand Gang. Or they will be exterminated by the Bloody Hand Gang.

Even the famous fighters had to back down in front of the Bloody Hand Gang. After all, there is no way to compete with the standard semi-militarized gangsters of the Hang-Xing. And there is a real militarized organization behind this gangster!

Thanks to the efforts of the Bloody Hand Gang and its subordinate gangs, all the characters such as the Splashy Skin have been brought under the scope of management. Those who were accustomed to causing trouble were either taught not to do evil again, or they were sent to work in the salt factory.

The Bloody Hand Gang also planned and purposefully collected commercial taxes from restaurants, green houses, and even small merchants and hawkers in the name of protection money, bribed and threatened the servants.

and to manage the peace of the land. This brought a steady stream of income to the Intelligence Bureau. And they really do it to keep you safe by paying protection money. So, in fact, they have replaced part of the role of the government.

Liu Pei's various measures have absorbed the displaced people, and he has also killed the local splashes, so the entire Qingdenglai ground is extremely peaceful! And the Chinese people are the most tenacious group of people, as long as they are given a quiet and peaceful living environment. They will be able to create unparalleled wealth.

Just like in front of him, the food produced by the victims collected by Liu Pei in the past few years is the main source of food for Liu Pei's resettlement of the victims this time. At the same time, they have also become staunch supporters of Liu Pei.

They were full of gratitude to their hosts and were willing to serve in the army. Sell surplus grain and raised livestock. And have money to spare to improve their lives. Therefore, in the three provinces of Qingdenglai, there is a rare peaceful atmosphere of prosperous commerce and crowds of people!

This made Liu Pei on patrol very complacent! After all, all this appeared under Liu Pei's unification, although most of the people didn't know Liu Pei's name, but it didn't hinder Liu Pei's good mood!

Just when Liu Pei returned to Jiaozhou, the good mood brought by the inspection was interrupted by Liu Jiang. Because Liu Jiang brought him bad news, that is, the White Lotus Sect has revived!

Henan patrol according to Wu Fu in September: between Kaifeng and Guide, near the river counties, and Shandong and Zhili. The original "evil demons" used the teachings of White Lotus and Jin Chan to incite the villagers, collude with the dead, and distribute the calls. Recently, the "big thieves" obtained are all coerced by the "demon book", called the king's name, vertical and horizontal, across the state and even the city, covering three or four hundred miles, claiming that Ziweixing has lost his way and is planning to do big things.

Judging from the current situation, the White Lotus Sect followers who have come in are still concentrated in Jinan Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, but they have begun to infiltrate the Qingdenlai area. These White Lotus Sect members have begun to pretend to be gods and ghosts in various names, fool the people, and accumulate money.

This can't be blamed on the people of the White Lotus Sect for moving fast, it is really because the economy of the Qingdenglai area has obviously improved in recent years under the pull of Liu Pei. People have more money in their hands, and they will naturally be targeted by scammers.
