0816 Leisure time
Now Liu Pei is enjoying a rare leisure time. Now he only needs to handle a small amount of paperwork every day, because all his troops have been sent to control Southeast Asia.
Now his military camp is filled with a group of happy old men! The most important job they do every day is to eat, sleep and make some noise, so that it makes people feel that there are still a large number of soldiers in the military camp.
Liu Pei seized the window of no war, and he dispersed all the soldiers to control the new recruits. Before the good Western colonists and local natives came, they established an army that could defend various villages and strongholds.
In other words, Liu Pei is now in an unprecedented period of weakness. The army can dispatch only 200 people and his guards at any time. The navy can use only a dozen warships. All the remaining ships that can go to sea are used to transport disaster victims and various materials.
Fortunately, Liu Pei's previous record scared all the enemies, which gave Liu Pei this precious time to develop. Liu Pei estimated that in the slowest half a year, all the strongholds and villages in Southeast Asia would have the ability to protect themselves. By then, his troops could be liberated, and that was the beginning of Liu Pei's digestion of Southeast Asia.
At the same time, Liu Pei went down to learn about the form of Shandong from time to time. Now, among the three Qingdenglai Palaces in Shandong, the biggest landlord in name is Liu Pei! Unfortunately, the land purchased by Liu Pei is all lands such as barren beaches and barren mountains that others do not like.
However, after the transformation of tenants and Liu Pei's investment in recent years, these lands have already produced abundant output. After being plowed, the wasteland has begun to become mature fields after being composted. Now wheat seedlings are breaking out of the ground and growing vigorously!
The barren mountains are full of fruit trees. The most common ones are apple trees. The branches of these trees are for the army to use. Some of the fruits produced are made into dried fruits to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers. Most of the blame is caused by wine supply to the army.
Because since Liu Pei gained a foothold in Shandong, he has always been facing a food shortage. So he is reluctant to use grain to make wine! But in order to meet the needs of the army, he had to choose to use fruits.
Wine is used to satisfy the soldiers' appetites.
As for land that is not suitable for farming, it became a breeding farm under Liu Pei's instructions. A large number of chickens, ducks and pigs are raised every year and then sold to the army. The young men in the army are very hard to train and require a lot of nutritional supplements.
At the same time, the troops also need to periodically eliminate and replace material reserves. Therefore, there are often things like bacon, salted chicken and other things on the market. They are all expired materials stored by Liu Pei's troops in the warehouse for low-price cleaning.
At the same time, due to Liu Pei's demand for military training in recent years, the bandits and horse bandits in Qingdenglai were considered unlucky! When Liu Pei was willing to give up his credit, the county magistrates from all over the country cooperated very much to release Liu Pei's army into the country.
Liu Pei's soldiers wiped out the bandits and horse thieves, gained experience and military achievements. The county magistrates from all over the country received the contribution of the peace. They could shamelessly write to the court and say that they had wiped out many bandits and write down a great contribution for their resumes. Therefore, the three places of Qingdenglai are extremely quiet. It's almost the same if they don't talk about the road or pick up the remains!
Among them, the Blood Hand Gang also contributed to the quiet place. Although the Blood Hand Gang is very famous in the world, the common people basically do not know the existence of the Blood Hand Gang. Except for the people in Jiaozhou and Jimo, most of the people have never heard of the name of the Blood Hand Gang.
However, the Blood Hand Gang had an extremely huge influence in Shandong. Under their continuous attacks and bribery, the various gangs in the Qingdenglai Palaces either surrendered and became subordinate organizations of the Blood Hand Gang. Or they were wiped out by the Blood Hand Gang.
Even the famous Chat Industry has to give in to the Blood Hand Gang. After all, a loose organization like Chat Industry cannot compete with the semi-militarized standard gang. Moreover, there is a real militarized organization behind this gang!
With the efforts of the Blood Hand Gang and its subordinate gangs, all the rascals and other characters were included in the management scope. Those rascals who are accustomed to causing trouble will either be taught a lesson and dare not do evil again, or are taken to a salt factory for work.
Blood Hands help them have plans to collect commercial taxes, bribes and threaten servants in the name of protection fees, and to collect commercial taxes, bribes and threaten servants in a purposeful manner from restaurants, brothels, and even small vendors.
And manage local safety. This brings a steady stream of income to the Intelligence Bureau. And they have truly paid protection fees to ensure you are safe. So, in fact, they have replaced part of the government's role.
Liu Pei's various measures have absorbed refugees and killed the local robberies, 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 can create unparalleled wealth.
Just like before, the food they produced by Liu Pei in the past few years was the main source of food for Liu Pei to resettle the victims. At the same time, they have become staunch supporters of Liu Pei.
They were full of gratitude to their boss and were willing to serve in the military, sell surplus grains and livestock, and have surplus money to improve their lives. Therefore, there was a rare peaceful atmosphere of lush business and surging crowds in the three prefectures of Qingdenglai!
This made Liu Pei very satisfied during the inspection! After all, all this happened under the unified dispatch of Liu Pei. Although most people do not know Liu Pei's name, it does not 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 was rekindled!
In September, the Henan Provincial Advisor Wu Yan wrote a memorial: Between Kaifeng and Guide, the counties and counties near Hebei, bordering Shandong and Zhili. The original "evil demons" used the White Lotus and Jin Chan religion to incite villagers to collude with destiny and spread their calls. The "thieves" they have recently obtained all took "demon books" and claimed to be kings, traversing the left and across the provinces and cities, covering three or four hundred miles, claiming that Ziweixing was out of power and planning major events.
From the current perspective, the White Lotus Sect members who came in were still concentrated in Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture, but they have begun to penetrate into the Qingdenglai area. These White Lotus Sect people have begun to pretend to be gods and ghosts in various names, fool the people, and accumulate money.
