However, at this moment, Yan Gang suddenly walked over.

"Uncle, there is news from a patrol ship that a large number of pirate ships have been found not far from Yingzhou."

Yang Mingli couldn't help it when he heard this, and shouted: "These pirates still dare to come, Lao Tzu has to kill them." ”

This guy looks like he's going to fight.

Lin Bai rolled his eyes, but said suspiciously: "Are these pirates really not afraid of death?" ”

Seeing the power of the red-clothed cannon, it was really surprising that he dared to come.

Although they were subdued by the Lotus Water Master, none of them were good stubble.

Knowing that the Lotus Water Master was defeated, he dared to stir up trouble.

Shen Poyu explained: "The prince doesn't know, these pirates and the Lotus Water Master are both lost and prosperous, and the Lotus Water Master will give them relief and silver taels from time to time, and when they do things, they will also give some additional benefits." ”

Oh?

Lin Bai was slightly surprised.

Shen Poyu continued: "There are a lot of pirates nearby, but there are not many ships sailing, these pirates look rampant, but in fact, they are all living a precarious life, I heard that in the past, pirates and pirates often fought each other. ”

"The appearance of the Lotus Water Master integrated these people, and from time to time selected qualified people from among them to join the Lotus Water Master, and relief, with their relief, plus robbery, these pirates avoided all kinds of conflicts and barely survived."

"During this time, because of the appearance of the Southwest Water Division, the living space of the pirates was compressed again, and I heard that there was a dispute between the pirates again, but it was still Zhu Kang who calmed them down, and used Yingzhou as the backing to provide certain protection for these pirates."

I see!

Lin Bai nodded, no wonder these pirates rushed to the rescue, and emotional Yingzhou was also their survival guarantee.

The Southwest Water Division is getting stronger and stronger, their living space is compressed, and if Yingzhou is taken again, then life will be sad.

Rob? The Southwest Water Division is so powerful, it will not be a matter of robbing or not robbing, but waiting to be destroyed.

Taking advantage of joining forces with Yingzhou now, there may still be a chance.

Otherwise......

Lin Bai asked, "How do you know in such detail?" ”

Shen Poyu said: "It's all those pirates themselves, have you forgotten that you have arrested many pirates and let them work in the labor camp, and finally patrolled the sea during this time, and also arrested some of them, all of which were sent to the labor camp, all of which were learned from their mouths." ”

"Just two days ago, the last general also captured a batch, and now they are still imprisoned on the Qinzhou."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, Shen Poyu didn't say that he really almost forgot.

It was all free labor he had captured for the Southwest.

He immediately asked, "How are those pirates being reformed in the labor camp?" ”

Shen Poyu said: "It's okay! At least they have food and drink in the labor camp, which is better than being in the sea and living in precariousness. ”

Hearing this, Lin Bai said thoughtfully: "What do you think it would be if you took the initiative to contact them and let them go to the labor camp?" ”

Shen Poyu's face froze, the reason why he said it was okay was naturally a certain ingredient.

Although the labor camp is good, it cannot be released, and it is no different from being in prison, and normal people want to stay there.

Although it is precarious on the sea, there is still freedom, and they can barely live, these pirates are ruthless, there is no shortage of river and ocean thieves, how can they take the initiative to go to the labor camp.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is not easy to do, unless you use a strong one."

Also! Let the family take the initiative to go to jail, and it is a loss to come out of their own mind.

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, and then said: "You can formulate a relevant system, for example, a one-year observation period, if you perform well, you will no longer restrict your freedom, you can move in the local area, and if you haven't committed any crimes for three years, the southwest will re-register them as residents of the southwest, and there will be no more restrictions......"

Shen Poyu's eyes lit up slightly, which was equivalent to only one year in prison.

And as long as you don't commit any crime for three years, you can regain your household registration and see the light of day again.

"If that's the case, I'm sure there are a lot of pirates who would be willing."

Yan Gang paused and said, "It's just that in this way, those who are extremely vicious and vicious, aren't they cheapened for nothing?" ”

For those poor people, who are forced to fall into the grass, it doesn't hurt to give them a chance, but in fact, there are many poor and vicious people who have committed heinous crimes, and this kind of person easily lets them go too cheap.

Lin Bai said: "This is simple, as long as they go to the southwest, they will probably investigate when the time comes, which ones are forced to be helpless, which ones are extremely vicious, and how to deal with them, it's not up to you to decide." ”

This!

Yan Gang's eyes were bright, he probably didn't expect his uncle to be so "shameless".

Wu Qiaojun also glanced at her husband in surprise, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Lin Bai continued: "These are all easy to say, the key is how to convince them to voluntarily go to the southwest for transformation. ”

Shen Poyu said: "You can talk to them, the last general has captured some pirates this time, you can let him take the lead, maybe it will be useful." ”

Lin Bai thought for a while, "Then let's do it!" You go and arrange. ”

"But before negotiating, let's get some leverage."

Shen Poyu had a puzzled look in his eyes.

In a cramped cabin.

Dozens of pirates were also imprisoned here, making a lot of noise.

"Was that a Lotus Water Master just now? Unable to fight back? ”

"Nonsense! It's not that you haven't seen the red-clothed cannon of the Southwest Water Division, it's too strong, even if the Lotus Water Master has a Zhuge crossbow, it won't be used at all. ”

"Not bad! I just saw that at least half of the Lotus Sailor's ships had been sunk. ”

"How is this good, the Lotus Water Master is not an opponent, aren't we dead?"

There was a gap in the cabin where the situation outside could be seen, and the previous battle was also vivid, and the group was obviously frightened.

Although I'm used to seeing life and death as a pirate, I've never seen a red-clad cannon!

The power of that thing completely subverted the perception of the group.

"Don't worry! can't die, I heard that the Southwest Navy Division took away the pirates, and he didn't kill them, but let them reform, go to work, and have food and drink. ”

"Really?"

"It's true, not only that, but I heard that there is a meat meal every three days!"

"! Isn't that better than us being pirates? Foolish! ”

"What are you lying about, the great development of the southwest is exactly the time when manpower is needed, Qingfeng Shixian is not an ordinary official, he has been helping the people all the way."

"Don't forget, we're not ordinary people, we're pirates, how can he help us."

"That's not necessarily, Qingfeng Shixian helped a group of bandits and pleaded for the bandits when he was not a high school champion."

"I've heard about this, it seems that the bandits also kidnapped his two ladies."

"That's right! Qingfeng Shixian repaid his grievances with virtue, at least we didn't arrest his wife, he would definitely not kill at will, not to mention that if he really wanted to kill, he would have killed us a long time ago, why locked us up? ”

"Not bad!"

“……”

A bunch of pirates were chattering.

At this time, the cabin was opened, and Shen Poyu's figure appeared outside the cabin.
