I'm afraid they are greedy and won't give up even after receiving the money."

Wang Chao immediately sneered and said: "I hold money in one hand and a knife in the other. It's up to them to choose whether they want money or a knife."

Village Chief Li nodded slightly, already understanding what Wang Chao meant, and the strength Wang Chao showed was enough to do this.

Although Wang Chao had never been the bald man, he glanced around the room, stood up from his seat, and shouted to Wang Chao in the main seat: "Chief, my name is Lei Meng, you saved my life.

, and you took us to get revenge, you are my savior, from now on my life, Lei Meng, belongs to you, I will follow the leader."

"Yes, you can sit down." Wang Chao smiled and nodded.

Lei Meng nodded, held his head high, glanced at the rest of the people present arrogantly, and sat back in his seat.

With Lei Meng taking the lead, many people immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to join the Feilong Pirate Group and work with the leader.

However, not everyone is willing to do this. Some of those who are willing to continue to be pirates are fishermen. Now that they are free, their biggest wish is to return to their villages, reunite with their families, and continue to live a stable life.

Wang Chao did not force these people, and asked those who were willing to leave to speak clearly and see who wanted to leave.

Except for those who left, the rest naturally planned to stay.

Wang Chao then asked about these people's situation, where their hometown was, what their previous experience was, whether they had any martial arts skills, and whether they had read any books.

After knowing the abilities of these people, Wang Chao appointed five of them as squadron leaders and the remaining few as squad leaders.

The squadron leader is in charge of one hundred people, and the squad leader is in charge of ten people.

This appointment is also temporary, and promotion and position changes will be decided based on their future performance.

The former bald Lei Meng also became a squadron leader.

After confirming the positions of these people, Wang Chao asked them to go out, gather the team first, and settle things on the island first.

As soon as these people left, Wang Chao discussed with the villagers of Luoye Village.

Before Wang Chao could speak, Village Chief Li said directly: "Chief Wang, we in Luoyun Village have nothing to say. We follow you with all our hearts. Don't talk to us. If you need us to do anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

explain."

Village Chief Li and others thought clearly, and they were deeply impressed by Wang Chao's ability. With Wang Chao's ability, they believed that he could definitely accomplish a lot.

They, Luoyun Village, are too poor, and they really want to change their lives so that they and their families can have a better life.

When Wang Chao heard what Village Chief Li said, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, with what Village Chief Li said, I will definitely not let Luoyun Village suffer."

"This is what I think. I don't trust the rest of the people very much. Luoyun Village is the one who got along with me. I trust them the most. So I want to find a group of people from Luoyun Village to be my personal guards.

I personally lead and train, and from now on these people will be under my command."

"However, the number of personal guards does not need to be too large. One hundred people will be enough."

"In addition, other people should not go fishing. How much money can you make from fishing? Not only is the money small, but it is also too hard."

"After you stop fishing, you don't have to worry about your income. You will do things for me from now on. I will naturally consider it for you. As for what to do, I already know what to do, but I still need to think about it carefully."

Village Chief Li smiled and said: "No problem, we will do whatever you say, but after our village stops fishing, we are afraid that the government will not give up."

You know, fishermen have to pay taxes after fishing. Now that they no longer fish, they will naturally not pay taxes. The government will also lose a layer of income, and naturally it will not give up.

Wang Chao smiled and said: "This is easy. What the government wants is tax revenue. We just pay the tax, and it can also be raised one level higher than usual."

Village Chief Li nodded and said: "Paying money is a good way to calm people down."

Pirates are very clear about how to be a boss. There is actually not much difference between being a pirate leader and being a boss.

Moreover, in Wang Chao's eyes, the previous management model of the Scimitar Pirates was too backward and was not conducive to the development of the Pirates.

In Wang Chao's mind, the pirate group's system should be in line with that of the company.

Of course, this was not something Wang Chao came up with on his own, but something that had already happened in history. The notorious East India Company was the best example.

This is a company, but in fact everyone knows that it is more of a pirate than a pirate.

Okay, this is too far gone.

Wang Chao is the leader of the pirate group, and the pirate group has just been established, so Wang Chao has great rights and can make rules at will according to his own wishes.

Wang Chao plans to establish and operate the Feilong Pirates Group according to the company model.

Wang Chao is the big boss of the company and is responsible for decision-making, followed by lower-level executive leaders, and then middle-level leaders.

Of course, there are too few manpower now, so we can only follow that outline instead of copying it completely.

, the ship was confiscated, the goods were robbed, and people were detained. If no one at home sent a ransom, Wu Jiang would be killed soon.

But Wu Jiang himself knew very well that his family could not afford the ransom at all. He had already invested all his wealth in his previous business, so how could his family get the ransom.

It's just that Wu Jiang didn't tell anyone about this, and the scimitar pirates were still waiting for the ransom, so they didn't kill him.

At this time, Wu Jiang naturally did not hide anything. He told the truth about his situation. It was just because he was worried about the situation at home that he was unwilling to join the pirates and become a pirate. That means he had a family and could not return.

However, Wu Jiang suddenly wavered when faced with the benefits promised by Wang Chao and the bright future he described.

After all, after he went back, everything had to start from scratch because the cargo ship was robbed. It was a very sad day, but once he did what Wang Chao said, became Wang Chao's subordinate, and worked for Wang Chao in the future, then wealth could be easily

Got it.

After thinking about it, Wu Jiang agreed to what Wang Chao said and was willing to do things for Wang Chao.

In this way, Wu Jiang was still a maritime merchant on the surface, but secretly he was working for pirates and handling stolen goods for them.

In fact, there are quite a few businessmen who work for pirates, but ordinary small pirates are unable to accomplish such a thing.

Because this kind of thing will harm the interests of middlemen.

Those middlemen are powerful. As long as they know about this, they will deal with the merchants who cooperate with the pirates. In this way, the trade route will be cut off, and the pirates can only continue to do business with the middlemen.

.

What Wujiang is going to do now is still very risky. Once it is leaked, it will be fatal.

It's just that Wu Jiang is willing to risk his fortune to gain wealth.

For the safety of Wujiang, this kind of thing is naturally done secretly, and only a few people know about it.

Let’s put business matters aside for now and continue talking about the results of personnel statistics.

Except for the more than 300 people who wanted to leave, the remaining 2,152 people were willing to stay.

In fact, these people who are willing to stay have nowhere to go. Although they say they want to be pirates if they stay here, they still have something to eat as pirates.

It's not easy.

Moreover, the leader here is quite good. He led everyone to kill foreign pirates. He is so skilled and extremely generous. There is still a future for following such a boss.

Thanks to the fact that they are all slaves of pirates, the old and the weak have been eliminated. There are more than 2,000 people, almost all of whom are young and strong. We then select from them, and only select strong men who are over sixteen and under forty in good health.

This selection also selected more than 1,500 people.

There are only 1,500 people. This is also an attempt by Wang Chao. Whether the system will work or not remains to be tested by facts.

The statistical results came out quickly. There were 315 people who wanted to leave, most of them fishermen, and there were also some businessmen among them.

Regardless of whether they are fishermen or businessmen, Wang Chao has paid severance pay, and has made it clear in advance that if you encounter any unsolvable difficulties in the future, you can come to him at any time. Moreover, Wang Chao attaches great importance to those businessmen and has a good discussion with several businessmen.

I thought about it and wanted to trade through these merchants.

One of the businessmen named Wu Jiang was very interested in the proposal mentioned by Wang Chao, and he was very thoughtful and gave a lot of useful suggestions.

Wang Chao bluntly expressed his thoughts. If Wu Jiang was willing to work under him, then the business aspect could be left to Wu Jiang.

Wang Chao was also helpless about this. He had many pirates and more sailors on hand, but he had no businessmen with any brains.

Wu Jiang is a small sea merchant who was captured by pirates during his previous trade.

They are the main force, and the remaining people are support staff.

Wang Chao selected 100 people among them to be his personal guards. Adding in the 100 people selected from Luoye Village, the number of his personal guards was 200.

There were 1,400 people left, and they were selected from among them, of which 1,000 were sailors and the remaining 400 were land soldiers.

Although they were marines, Wang Chao planned to train them as marines.

After three days of emergency reorganization, the Feilong Pirates Group was finally established.

Wang Chao also used three days to compile a complete set of training manuals. The manuals were divided into two, one for the training of marine soldiers and the other for the training of naval soldiers.

The training content is divided into two parts. The first part is to train physical fitness and discipline, and the second part is to train practical skills.

Now we can only conduct physical and discipline training, because the weapons used in actual combat have not yet been obtained.

Wang Chao's goal and actual combat weapons must be muskets and cannons.

Speaking of muskets and cannons, Wang Chao has also experimented with them. He found that the muskets and cannons in this world also use gunpowder as power, but it is no wonder that when he used firearms before, the bullets he fired were all dumb and the bullets could not be fired.

The sound has failed, and the reason lies here.

There seems to be a special power in this world that can render electronic products ineffective, as well as the gunpowder brought from the earth, making the firearms brought from the earth unusable.

Although there are muskets and cannons in this world, they also use gunpowder as power, but due to the special environment, the formula of gunpowder here is completely different.

The only similarity is that they also use charcoal, and then add many strange things to the charcoal. They need to add more than ten kinds of powders, and carefully stir them evenly to become the gunpowder they use.

The power of this kind of gunpowder is not small. At the same weight, it is more powerful than the granular gunpowder on earth.
