People Are Pirates, Build the Strongest Naval Branch

In the dormitory, all the branch ministers looked at the phone bug that had been hung up in Howie's hand.

What do you mean, the Warring States Marshal personally warned Lieutenant General Zavala not to interfere in the East China Sea?

How to fix this?

If the marshals opened such a mouth, I am afraid that it would be difficult to find anyone in the headquarters, right?

"Don't panic, the headquarters is not good, we can still find those nobles, if we fail, they will lose a lot of gray income every year!"

"Minister Howie is right. We can state the interests of those nobles, and then let them lobby the king and unite to put pressure on the Navy Headquarters. In this case, even the Warring States Marshal has to reconsider!"

"I am familiar with Marquis Stry of the Goya Kingdom, I will contact him!"

"I'll go talk to the nobles of the Zhumida Kingdom, it's definitely no problem!"

"I'll handle it from Koto's side!"

......

Speaking of the nobility, a group of branch ministers came to the fore again, and they took the initiative to take on the task one by one, and a group with high enthusiasm.

Who do these people interact with the most in the East China Sea?

I'm sorry, it's not the pirates, but the nobles!

Take the Cocosia Village in the Zhumeda Islands as an example, the rats of the Sixteen Branches and the Dragon Pirates have ruled for so many years.

Then comes the problem. Cocosia Village has not paid taxes for a few years. Could it be that the Kingdom of Zhumida does not know about it?

Don't be kidding, for these nobles, they will be sloppy and stupid in other things, but they are absolutely professional when it comes to collecting money!

Then why didn't the Zhumeida Kingdom know that there were a bunch of villages that had not paid taxes for several years?

In fact, it's very simple. There are nobles who deceive the upper and lower, and help the mice to cover.

Of course, these nobles will definitely not be in vain, and the mouse will definitely give them a part of the annual income.

The matter of Cocosia Village is only a small part of this gray interest chain. For the operation of the entire interest chain, these branch heads naturally deal with the nobles the most.

All of them picked up the phone bugs, and they were all contacting the nobles who were friends with them on weekdays, and even Howie contacted the five branch chiefs who had not reached the eighteen branch, and asked them to act in unison.

After a while of complaining, the nobles naturally agreed one by one with a pat on the chest. It would be no problem to leave this matter to them.

After all, they are also the beneficiaries of this gray interest chain. If all these branch heads are revoked, then they will drink the northwest wind?

Of course, they are not Tianlong people, and they don't have such a big face to go to pressure the navy. Naturally, they have fooled their kings and put pressure on the kingdom.

However, Li Yan and Warring States, who had long expected this level, were naturally prepared long ago.

Those kings not only did not agree with the demands of the nobles, but even scolded them severely, and finally slammed them out.

To say how Li Yan and Warring States did this is actually surprisingly simple.

Just tell those kings, and compare yourselves, what was the annual tax of the kingdom 20 years ago, and how much is it now?

I don’t know if this is a comparison, but a comparison is simply startling. Compared with 20 years ago, the taxation of each kingdom has been reduced by nearly half.

That's great, they're going crazy right now, that's money!

Then just tell them that the total amount of money has not changed, but the number of people who share the money has increased, so the income of the kingdom will be less.

Let’s take Cocosia Village as an example. For example, the villagers can get 20 yuan every year, of which 10 yuan needs to be handed over to the kingdom, but what is the situation now?

The 10 yuan that should have been received by the kingdom was divided by the Dragon Pirates, the rats of the Sixteen Branch, and the nobles of the Zhumida Kingdom.

What does this mean?

Small nobles unite with outsiders,

Bailey of the big nobles together...

Therefore, the Warring States told these kings that the rectification of the navy this time is to prevent this situation and ensure that your kingdoms can get all the money every year!

This is protecting you Bailey, understand?

Well, it doesn’t make much sense to say that, but as long as money is mentioned, it’s the money of these kings, they will understand in an instant, and they will immediately pat their chests and promise that they will absolutely support Li Yan’s rectification plan, no matter who comes Say nothing!

And the result is the current scene. In the process of lobbying the king, the nobles of these kingdoms were all defeated one by one.

The nobles suddenly discovered that their king seemed to have become insufferable...

This time, Howie and others were really panicked.

Even the nobles are useless, so what's the matter?

"How about... let's go to training too?"

"Maybe...maybe...maybe...Is it possible to complete the 100 Dao Strength test with hard work?"

Just when everyone was silent, Blore of the fourth branch said.

It's just that the sound doesn't make any sense.

"Didn't we all try it after Li Yan left just now, how much did you measure?"

"7!"

"9!"

"4!"

......

Well, for this group of branch leaders who have long been hollowed out by wine, the highest Taoist value is Howie, but it is only 21 points, and more than half of the rest are even single digits.

In other words, most of them have not even reached the Dao Strength of ordinary sea soldiers...

How to do this, let alone a month, even three months, half a year, they have no confidence!

------

The branch building, Li Yan's office.

dong dong dong...

"Come in!"

"Li Yan, as you guessed, those guys were all gathered together and kept in contact with the outside world through the phone bug, first Lieutenant General Zavala of the headquarters, and then the nobles of various kingdoms!"

As soon as Ain entered the office, he immediately started reporting.

Howie and the others didn't know that all their previous actions and words were heard clearly by Ain outside the door.

After all, the strength of this group of guys is too weak, Ain doesn't even have to be careful, even if they are eavesdropping openly, they can't find it.

"Sure enough, what's the result?"

"Lieutenant General Zavala directly refused to help, and those nobles seemed to have hit a wall with their respective kings, and now the seven of them are nowhere to be found!"

"Well, it's just that there are only seven people, which is less than expected. How are the few going to the training camp?"

"Although it's not strong, it's much stronger than those few. According to the test, the Dao Strength value is between 50-70. As long as you fight enough within a month, you should be able to complete the assessment indicators."

For the five Warners, Ain also observed them, and even read their information.

It can be said that, whether it is strength or style, although it is not a competent branch manager, at least it is much better than Howie's few!

Hearing this, Li Yan also nodded.

And according to the display on the system panel, the loyalty of the five Warners is also much higher than that of Howie, although the highest one is only 50...

But you must know that the seven people on Howie's side, not only the Dao Strength value is a single digit, but even the loyalty is also a single digit, and even a few are directly 0.

In this comparison, Warner's 50 loyalty points can really be regarded as high...
