A few people had just landed, and there were already people on the dock to greet them. I think it was a message from a sentinel ship. The greeter took them directly outside the barracks and told them that the dragon king was waiting inside.

When everyone was still more than ten steps closer to the gate of the barracks, the two soldiers guarding the gate raised their spears and shouted, "Who is coming?" Stop! ”

The crowd was ordered to stop. The man who picked up the person said: "It's a guest invited by the handsome." ”

The soldier then retracted his spear and said, "Wait! ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the camp. Moments later, the soldier reappeared. He inspected the man's waist tag, and checked that the people did not have weapons on them before letting them into the camp. The man said to the crowd, "After entering the camp, you can only follow me, and you are not allowed to look left and right. ”

How can these people suffer such humiliation on a daily basis! But today's people have to bow their heads under the low eaves! The group could only enter the camp with their stomachs in their stomachs.

After entering, although the few people did not look around, they could see the situation in the camp clearly. I saw that the inside of this barracks was very orderly and tidy. Everywhere you look, you can see the edges and corners. Even the size and dimensions of the barracks are exactly the same. And the ground in the camp was flat, and there were not even slightly larger stones. It looks unusually pleasing to the eye.

The time they entered the barracks was clearly the time when the soldiers rested. Quite a few soldiers were doing all sorts of strange poses on their equipment. There are also some soldiers wrestling for a show. Looking at their skills, a few people can understand that this is the morale and physical strength of a well-supplied army. Compared to the weak soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that they are heaven and earth!

Halfway through, a group of soldiers who had changed the guard staggered past them. The long spears of the soldiers were clamped under their armpits, and the tips of the spears were obliquely upward, and the angles seemed to be exactly the same! Everyone's steps are even more neat! The footsteps of more than 30 people actually stepped on an idea, and the hearts of those who stepped on it trembled.

Several people quickly exchanged glances, and they were all a little surprised in their hearts. Where is this Haikou Haikou, it is clearly an elite soldier! Although these people have never seen the elite soldiers on the nine sides of the imperial court, they are just like this in their minds.

They crossed several rows

The barracks walked to the back. The doors of all the barracks were wide open, and in one of the barracks, they actually saw a group of soldiers with earthy faces learning to write with a teacher!

At this moment, a few people were not surprised, but shocked in their hearts! Since ancient times, how have anyone taught soldiers to learn to write? Isn't it okay for this soldier to just fight? An answer invariably emerged in the hearts of these people: the soldiers here will all be officers in the future, otherwise they would not have given up their books to cultivate.

With a full stomach, everyone walked directly into a hall with the big man. The expected intimidation and dismount did not appear, but easily saw the red-eyed dragon king sitting on the main seat, the red goggles were particularly bewitching and dazzling to them.

After several people saw Liu Pei, they all bowed to Liu Pei and said, "I've seen the Dragon King." ”

Liu Pei didn't get up, he waved his hand directly and said, "You are all acquaintances, sit down." ”

However, several people did not sit down immediately. The old man at the head said: "Dragon King, I didn't investigate for a while, so that I was instigated to do something wrong, and now I regret it!" So I discussed it and put together a sum of money to donate to the dragon king for the management of the army and the building of ships. ”

Liu Pei's heart moved when he heard this. Originally, Liu Pei called these people just to beat them, but he didn't think about killing them or extorting a sum of money. Because Liu Pei knows that killing people will not solve the problem, but will make the problem worse. If he makes the people involved in the sea trade feel frightened, these people will fight back with all their might. The key is that it has affected the sea trade, and I don't know how long it will delay when our own financial improvement will be delayed. But now a few people have sent a sum of silver, which is a surprise.

Thinking of this, Liu Pei got up and said, "You have worked hard, let's sit down and talk." ”

When several people saw Liu Pei politely, they were relieved, so they each found a seat and sat down. After everyone sat down, Liu Pei asked someone to bring tea before saying: "It's surprising that a few people can send silver, I don't know how much silver they are going to send?" ”

As soon as several people heard Liu Pei's tone, they knew that this time their lives had been saved. And the method of donating silver also moved Liu Pei. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and sit up straight. The old man who had just spoken continued, "Dragon King, I

The seven families pooled a total of 50,000 taels of silver to send to the Dragon King, hoping that the Dragon King would not be disgusted! ”

Liu Peixin said, how could I dislike it? I'm going crazy to be poor now, okay? The books are still negative, and the old account room, which has been worried for a day, has blistered on his mouth. At the moment, he said: "Then thank you!" ”

When several people saw Liu Pei speaking and accepting the money, they all despised Liu Pei in their hearts for being greedy for money, but that's it! But they echoed the speeches in their mouths, saying that they were all their own hearts, and the dragon king just had to accept it. For a while, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

A small episode passed, and finally the main topic was mentioned. Liu Pei didn't bother to go around in circles with them. Liu Pei also knew that if he went around in circles, he might not be the opponent of these people. These people quote scriptures, and a small thing can give you the dawn.

So Liu Pei said simply: "A few people are willing to come to Penghu, and they already know about the Liu and Li families, right?" You've guessed right, I sent someone to do it! ”

Everyone was very embarrassed when they heard this. However, these people are all old fritters who have accumulated years, and a little embarrassment will cost them their lives. So they agreed one by one.

Liu Pei said: "I am a very fair person. The one surnamed Li directly intervened in my affairs here. And the one surnamed Liu had a bad idea. So these two people died unjustly! But don't worry, if I kill the two of them, I won't look for your bad luck again. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but their hearts were completely relieved, and then Liu Pei continued: "To be honest, I dominate the sea and hope that the four seas will be peaceful, and I just want everyone to do business peacefully and make some money for themselves by the way." So I don't expect you to be grateful to me. But what I have to do must be done! You have been forgiven of your capital sins, but you are forgiven of your living sins. Within a year from this day, your own ships will go to sea, and each ship will draw 5,000 taels of silver. Each of the ships associated with you draws 4,000 taels of silver. A year has passed and it is back to normal. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they all said that they would obey the instructions and talk about the arrangement of things when they turned around. These people are not stupid, although Liu Pei asked for more money, but it was not without money. A ship only adds one or two thousand taels of silver, and it will be earned back in a blink of an eye!
