Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Tongpan thought he was unwilling to tell the truth, so he urged: "Just tell the truth. I just want to understand the Haihan people's methods of doing things."

Luo Shengdong gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest, most of the sergeants in the water stronghold have now been replaced by members of the Haihan Militia. Within two or three months at the latest, the entire water stronghold will probably be

It was taken over by the Haihan people."

"It has reached such a serious level?" Zhang Tongpan was really shocked at this moment: "Does General He know about this?"

"In more than two months, the Haihan people asked their son-in-law to bring 3,000 taels of silver to He Shenjiang, asking him to keep an eye on the matter. To this day, everyone in Shuizhai already knows the general details of the matter.

"Luo Shengdong simply told the whole story about the situation in the water village.

Zhang Tongpan was surprised and asked: "Why has no one reported this matter?"

Luo Shengdong sighed and said: "The soldiers and sailors in Shuizhai only earn about 20 taels of silver a year on duty. Although now there is private salt trading among the Haihan people, and their lives are a little better, they still only earn about 20 taels of silver in a year."

It's only forty or fifty taels of silver. Now the Haihan people are recruiting skilled shipwrights and sailors from us, and the lowest price they offer is ten taels of silver a month. The brothers are eager to let the Haihan militia come in early so that they can fill the quota.

If you can get away to work in Shengli Port, who would ruin your job and report this matter to the state government?"

Seeing Zhang Tongpan's face turned gloomy, Luo Shengdong continued: "Wei Sanzhu, who used to compete with his son-in-law for the general position in Shuizhai, has quietly given up his military post and gone to Victory Port to take the exam for the Haihan Shipping Department. It is said that he has already

When you become a captain, you can get four or five times more money per month than when you are a pawn in Shuizhai! If my son-in-law hadn't taken over the private salt business from the Haihan people, he might have been like Wei Sanzhu.

So he quietly went to join the Haihan people. In such a situation, the guard army must not be much better. Zhang Qianhu goes to the Yazhan office every month but is more diligent than his son-in-law. The Haihan people are now fighting with his father-in-law.

With this greeting, in fact, I might have already sorted things out in private."
