As soon as the emperor's order to appoint Qi Haoran came to the Guangdong government office, the people in Guangzhou City became a sensation, buying firecrackers and setting them off for the first time.

Then I heard that the sea ban was lifted, and others would not hesitate, but the fishermen living in Liushufang walked out of the low and damp slums, knelt facing north, kowtowed three times firmly, and were dragged by Mu Yangling to look for Wang Qi Haoran, who participated in the general, saw the people kneeling all over the street, all of them were pale and emaciated, and their clothes were ragged, and his heart ached.

Mu Yangling didn't expect to see such a scene, so he froze on the spot for a while.

Qi Haoran took her hand, took a deep look at the person kneeling on the ground, turned around and said: "Let's go back, if we want to know if Wang Chun can use it, we just need to call him to the government office for questioning."

Mu Yangling walked back quietly beside Qi Haoran, looking at him with concern from time to time.

Qi Haoran walked to the gate of the government office and looked up at the plaque on it, and said: "Ah Ling, I remember you said when you were a child, when you were young, the people were suffering, and when the people were dying, the people were suffering. I always felt that what you said was wrong. As for not having enough to eat, but looking at the chaotic city of Guangzhou, I think what you said may not be wrong."

Hearing his low tone, Mu Yangling was afraid that he would be weary of the world, so he hurriedly said: "This kind of thing can be prevented. Now the order of Daqi is not stable, so I can't worry about it..."

"There are no rules, and it's not enough to rely on officials' self-consciousness," Qi Haoran said with a cold light in his eyes, "Yu Cheng not only took bribes, but also colluded with pirates to kill Zhongliang. No one denounced him, even the censor who came here didn't impeach him, so Yu Cheng's popularity is so good?"

"No," Qi Haoran gritted his teeth: "It's just because of interests. For the sake of interests, we forget the righteousness of the country and the hardships of the people. Ah Ling, we can't just rely on the loyalty of officials to govern the country. We must have a system so that once they commit a crime, we can Know."

Mu Yangling held his hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Let's take our time."

Qi Haoran nodded, "Well, I'm not in a hurry, let's start with Guangdong Mansion and Yu Cheng."

The case of Fan Zijin's disappearance at sea is over. Zhou Zhou's merits and demerits are offset and he is not punished. However, he is incapable of defending against the enemy and allows pirates to run rampant along the coast, so he is appointed as a captain.

Yu Cheng was investigated for trying to conceal the news and collude with foreigners. As the investigation deepened, he was involved in corruption and bribery, and even colluded with pirates to frame the former prefect and General Wang. Now he has been imprisoned , the whole family was under house arrest at home.

It is rare to involve a wide range of officials, and a quarter of the officials in the Guangdong government are involved.

Fan Zijin wanted to turn a blind eye and let some people go. After all, the involvement was too wide, and the official's supplement was also a problem.

Qi Haoran, who didn't intend to ask about this matter, intervened angrily when he got the data of slums and fishing villages in Liushufang and other places, he put the things in front of Fan Zijin, and shouted: "Do you know how many people died in the past three years? "

Fan Zijin opened the brochure, and his face was also black and blue. He was the prefect of Guangdong, and the people who died were all the people under his rule.

Qi Haoran was furious, "They all died of starvation. Since the first year of Taikang, the state treasury has allocated relief food to Guangdong every year, and the censor reported that it was in the hands of the people. But look at these brochures, some fishing villages do not survive. One, even if we met the Jin Bing who hit Grass Valley in the Northland, they died at the hands of Jin Bing, what about these people? They all starved to death! Spare them?"

"Dreaming!" Qi Haoran roared: "Anyone involved in this matter, no matter how deep or shallow, will be investigated to the end!"

Fan Zijin took a deep breath, closed the booklet, and said with a straight face: "I will deal with this matter. Now that the sea ban is lifted, many fishermen are starting to rush into the sea. You and the sailors are on guard. I am worried that some pirates will take advantage of it." This opportunity will cause trouble.”

"We just won two battles, and they still know our details, so they probably won't do it so quickly, but you're right, it's not ruled out that they will take this opportunity to test us, I will ask Zhou Zhou to take someone to the beach On patrol."

"Didn't you say that Zhou Zhou has limited experience?"

"No matter how limited, patrolling is not a problem," Qi Haoran said, "I have already met Wang Chun. He is fifty-three years old this year, but he is not bad. The division trains soldiers, and has already interceded for him. It won’t take long for him to return to his post. At that time, I will mainly entrust him with the affairs of the navy, and there are many people around him who can be used.”

The people around him tried their best to find Mu Yangling to act in a play, not just to stand out, as long as it is useful, Qi Haoran doesn't mind their self-recommendation methods, he is short of management training talents for naval divisions now, So all comers are welcome.

Qi Haoran not only used old men from the former navy, but even asked Fei Bai to go to the fishing village to find those old fishermen who could listen to the sea to serve in the army.

These old fishermen have been fishing all their lives, and they know the sea best, when the tide rises and when it ebbs, including where there are hidden reefs nearby. It is impossible for Qi Haoran to completely rely on the people in the Guangdong Navy. weights.

Not only that, he also went to the dungeon to chat with those foreign pirates, sometimes talking about their countries, the places they had been, the naval battles they had fought, and even the gold, silver and jewels they had robbed.

After half a month, Qi Haoran had a good understanding of their situation, and some foreign pirates asked how they would be dealt with out of friendship.

Qi Haoran clearly told them, "Those who have killed my people in Daqi will be executed, and the others will be sent to labor."

All the pirates were silent, Qi Haoran patted his buttocks and stood up, saying: "Each of you must have a lot of lives in your hands, since you have killed people, you should know that you will always have to pay back when you come out to mess around, and other people only have one life , is also very precious, in the face of life and death, there is no high or low!"

Qi Haoran turned around and left.

At this time, Pedro took advantage of the convenience of lifting the sea ban and finally entered the city of Guangzhou, and quietly entered a house.

As soon as Andre turned around, he saw Pedro, his face changed suddenly, he hurried to close the door of the room, turned around and roared in a low voice, "Why did you come here, don't you know that you are a wanted criminal now? "

Pedro put the hat on the table, and comforted him: "Okay, Andre, no one knows that I have come to the city. I didn't come in to discuss with you whether I am a wanted criminal. Now can you And explain why the officers and soldiers of Daqi came to attack us in your boat?"

Pedro stared at him closely, and said, "You have to know, the reason why my people didn't call the police is because they saw that it was your boat."

Andre, who was one of the foreigners on the battlefield, sneered in his heart. It wasn't that the other party didn't warn, but he didn't have the opportunity to warn, and was killed by Da Qi's concubine.

But now is not the time to say this, "If you don't come, I will go to you too. I was just about to ask you who leaked the news, and why did the Daqi court know about our connection? The people on my side No problem at all."
