During the Hongwu period, it is an indisputable fact that ministers, military officers and ministers above the third rank possessed slaves and maids, but these slaves and maids mainly came from the confiscated criminal population rewarded by the government, which is in line with the provisions of the "Da Ming Law" prohibiting the sale of slaves and maids. The crux of the matter now is that Liu Pei, as an ordinary official below the fourth rank with a certain political status and privileges, does not possess such privileges.

If this privilege had been accepted at that time, the corresponding provisions and the number of slaves and maids possessed would have been clearly enshrined in the law, but no, in essence, it was an attitude of disagreement and disobedience. This makes it impossible for those officials who have slaves and maids to have no scruples, and if they are not prosecuted, once they are on the line, they can be charged with crimes. Xiang Liu Pei, a large-scale slave breeder, will definitely not be able to escape!

Liu Pei was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard about this! said: "This kind of ungrateful bastard is also a waste of food to live, kill well!" Anything else? ”

Liu Jiang then reported on the situation of taking in orphans. This time it was a catastrophe, a large number of children were sold, and some even had their parents die, leaving the children alone. Liu Jiang had told them when he contacted traffickers that there were as many children as there were, regardless of age, gender or gender.

This matter was agreed to by Liu Pei. Because Liu Jiang's reasons are quite sufficient. Those orphans are the best reserve force of the Intelligence Agency. They have no family, and whoever gives them food will naturally turn to whomever they want. And they're young, so it's easy to train. When they reach adulthood, they can go straight to the intelligence bureau. They will be the most loyal force in Liu Pei's hands. Girls will be the reserve of medical forces in the future. So this time, Liu Jiang took in about 6,000 orphans.

After hearing this, Liu Pei instructed Liu Jiang to treat these children well, and also asked Liu Jiang to arrange for them to continue studying if he found good seedlings to study. He also told Liu Jiang to keep an eye on the people below, catch those who commit crimes, and kill those who should be killed! And then let him go down.

Liu Jiang hurriedly slipped away. In fact, Liu Jiang came to the main mu of land this time to save the lives of those criminals. Even if Liu Pei wants to kill people, Liu Jiang will also find a way to turn them into eternal slaves.

Because Liu Jiang's master, the old beggar once told Liu Jiang: "You are a knife, and the owner of the knife tells you to cut whoever you want!" But if you kill too much, there will inevitably be some bloody gas on the knife. Maybe the owner will have a new knife. But if you don't cut someone, will your master still ask you for this knife? So in order for you to survive in the future, you must quietly make more good connections on weekdays!

That's what Liu Jiang meant if he wanted to save the lives of those few today. Those who committed the offense were the first to add

The people who joined the family team were also from Fushan Village. Although the location of those people in Fushan Village is not obvious, it is because the number of Liu Pei is relatively small at present. When Liu Pei's team expands in the future, they will naturally occupy a high position.

Especially Qi Qitao and Wu Yizhou. They are the people Liu Pei trusts the most. As long as Liu Jiang can keep these people from dying, there will always be a way to get them out of the eternal slavery in the future. This has won the favor of a large number of old family members! He, an outsider, will be able to have some foreign help in the future. In case Liu Pei really gets disgusted with him one day, at least someone can intercede for him to save his life!

Therefore, Liu Pei really planned to kill these people, and Liu Jiang would deliberately leak something to Qi Qitao and them to know. After all, they came from a village, and they would definitely come to Liu Pei to intercede. But if you have achieved your goal this time, you should also give them a rumor. At the very least, they had to let their relatives and friends go to Qi Qitao and Wu Yizhou's house to cry and complain, so that the matter could reach their ears. When they come to ask themselves, they can sell their favors.

After Liu Pei sent Liu Jiang away, he then dealt with several official documents that had to be replied to, and then wrote a letter to Fang Degang. The purpose is for him to set up a team to connect with the Academy of Sciences as soon as possible, so as to transform the things in the Academy of Sciences into his own strength as soon as possible.

After writing the letter, Liu Pei's mood was much better. In the past, he had to handle things like this himself. Now, all he needs to do is write a letter, and someone will naturally arrange to deal with this matter. It feels good!

After thinking about it, Liu Pei began to rummage through his lockbox, looking for information about the whaling ship. However, he could find very little information about the whaling ship. Because he didn't plan to do whaling in the first place. So his information is only a general description.

In fact, the whaling ship is not much different from the ordinary new warship. The key is to have a stove for refining whale oil on board. Whaling ships can stay at sea for up to four to six years by burning the residues of whale oil and whale meat to refine essential oils. However, Liu Pei didn't want the whaling ship to stay at sea all the year round, and he needed the whaling ship to bring back all the whales he caught.

Liu Pei needs more than just whale oil, he also needs a lot of meat. So Liu Pei planned to let the whaling ship catch the whale, and then the whale meat would be marinated, and the rest of the useless things would be used to refine the whale oil on the ship. When the ship is fully loaded, return to port. This gives you a lot of grease to make soap and soap and stuff like that, a lot of meat, and a lot of sailors.

So Liu Pei made a special trip to the shipyard. Those great craftsmen work very neatly and skillfully. The problem is that they are illiterate, so a lot of things have to be talked to them face-to-face.

However, Master Wu and they are really powerful, and they didn't let Liu Peibai run. Without calculating the center of gravity, they were able to deduce from experience alone where and how the whaling ship would place its furnaces. This made Liu Pei greatly admired. Then Liu Pei arranged for Wu Dajiang and them to start building whaling ships. Master Wu and the others discussed it, suspended the construction of the third-class battleship, and transformed it into a whaling ship.

In the days that followed, Liu Pei traveled from place to place, inspecting the camps of the victims. Batches of victims were sent to the Ryukyus, resettled in Shandong, or entered workshops and shipyards. In short, things are slowly getting on the right track.

And the plague of locusts rises and extinguishes quickly. Miko piece. The locusts flew in the wrong direction when they migrated. They should have flown south. Unfortunately, they were flying north. The northern part of China is in the Xiaoice climate range at this time, and the climate is cold and dry. Before autumn, the leaves are yellow and fall off. And the locusts had nothing to eat, so they began to kill each other. In the end, nature wiped out this army of locusts.

At this time, the court's sluggish relief work was also carried out thoroughly. The victims received relief and settled down. This has led to fewer and fewer people who can be retracted by Liu Pei. And at this time, Liu Pei didn't dare to collect people anymore. Because the floating victims are becoming scarcer and scarcer, if he collects people again, I am afraid that he will be directly exposed to the eyes of the government. Therefore, Liu Pei simply stopped collecting the victims and began to transfer the remaining victims with all his might.

As there were fewer and fewer things that needed to be decided by Liu Pei, and he had more time to practice his sword skills, news suddenly came from Shinjima that Li Dan had sent an envoy to meet with him.

This news made Liu Pei feel very surprised. Why did Li Dan send a messenger to see him at this time? As far as Liu Pei knows, it should be Zheng Zhilong who is in charge of Li Dan at this time. So Liu Pei concluded that it should be Zheng Zhilong who wanted to see him. However, Liu Pei didn't think that there was anything to talk about between him and Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong's severance of Liu Pei's trade in the Japanese Kingdom has not yet been counted, how could he suddenly send an envoy to the door?

However, according to the old messenger from the new island, the envoy's attitude was very arrogant, and he looked down on Liu Pei in his words. This makes Liu Pei even more confused. However, Liu Pei is afraid of Li Dan, he is not afraid of Zheng Zhilong.

Li Dan has been crisscrossing the sea for many years as a maritime tycoon, and his subordinates are loyal to him and obedient to him. Therefore, Liu Pei's words against Li Dan are bound to lose. But if it was against Zheng Zhilong, he was not afraid.

Although Zheng Zhilong took over Li Dan's position, how could those maritime merchants and pirates who crisscrossed the sea easily be at the mercy of a young man. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not be able to completely control all of Li Dan's subordinates now.
