Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 570: Enterprising
Boom! !
Thunder exploded from the sky, lightning flashed continuously among the dense dark clouds, surging like a dragon, the wind roared, making a permeating sound, and the waves kept crashing on the coast. Being in such a situation, it was like being in the end of the world. Below, there is nothing but fear!
Penghu County.

“This tsunami came at the wrong time!!”

On the coast, Zou Weilian, the magistrate of Penghu, wearing a green robe, stared ahead worriedly. Although the sea breeze was strong and the sea water covered his body, Zou Weilian stood like a cypress. A few days ago, the climate in Penghu changed suddenly and a tsunami swept through. In this area of ​​the sea, Zou Weilian's heart was always hanging on.

"Magistrate, I'll go back to the Yamen later."

The clerk standing nearby stretched out his hand to block the blowing sea breeze, squinted his eyes and said loudly to Zou Weilian: "The wind is really too strong. If the tide rises suddenly, this place will be very dangerous!!"

"I don't know if they arrived in Dongfan successfully."

Zou Weilian seemed not to have heard it and sighed softly: "If I had known this was the case, I should have had a tougher attitude at the beginning. The sea is different from that on land!"

"The county magistrate, Wei Changgong, and their auspicious people have their own destiny."

Hearing this, the chief clerk hurriedly said: "The navy sailing to Dongfan originally sailed from Penghu on a good day. If we count the time, Wei Changgong and the others may have arrived in Dongfan long ago!"

"What do you know!"

Zou Weilian frowned and shouted: "Even if we arrive at Dongfan successfully, the imperial court still knows too little about Dongfan, and we don't know what the situation on the island is like. Even if we can find a docking place and reach Bengang, which is the closest to Penghu, don't forget, The pier for docking sea ships is not well built, what dangers will be encountered in such bad weather!”

The chief clerk was silent.

As a native of Fujian, how could he not know this? Changes at sea are so fast that even the most experienced people cannot guarantee that they will be able to escape unharmed when a tsunami hits. It would be better on land, but once in On the sea, only God knows whether it is life or death.

"Go back to the office!"

While the chief clerk was thinking, Zou Weilian flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, "How are the refugees being placed in Penghu now? There's no commotion, right?"

"There was some commotion, but it was basically under control."

The chief clerk held up the clothes and followed closely beside Zou Weilian, "But among the refugees, many are infected with the cold."

"Are they isolated?"

Zou Weilian frowned and said: "Let the doctors in Penghu hurry up and treat them, and never let the epidemic appear in Penghu!!"

"It's all isolated."

The chief secretary hurriedly said: "It's just that the tsunami hit so suddenly that Penghu lost contact with Fujian. It may be difficult to transport the medicinal materials, food, etc. that were ordered earlier. There are currently insufficient medicinal materials in Penghu. Treating these people who are suffering from wind and cold may... …”

As he said this, the chief clerk stopped.

Hey~
Zou Weilian sighed lightly, it was still too tight. Although he had prepared a lot of things in advance when he went to Penghu to take office, this time Wei Zhongxian led the team to leave Penghu for Dongfang. Although he had raised a lot of money in Fujian, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Still took away many of the medicinal materials and grains stored in Penghu.

Originally, Penghu had sent people to the coast of Fujian to collect the missing medicinal materials, food, etc., but unexpectedly the sudden tsunami disrupted everything!
Your Majesty, you attach so much importance to Dongfan, can this place really generate income for the Ming Dynasty?
It was also at this moment that Zou Weilian felt something deep in his heart. Although he knew how important Dongfan was to the Ming Dynasty, Dongfan was still alone overseas. It was too far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. In such a cold and barren land, even if the Ming Dynasty brought Dongfan to Under Nagui's rule, no matter how you calculate this account, it doesn't make sense! !

……

Nearly a hundred miles away.

Dongfan. Stupid port.

"hurry up!!"

"rope!!"

"Tighten it up!!"

"Stand firm!!"

In the pouring rain, the wind roared, and thunder exploded from time to time. The sea surges, one wave higher than the other, kept hitting the coastline. The large ships docked on the coast were rising and falling with the sea surges, and Thousands of people were scattered on the coast. Although their shouts were loud, they seemed so small under the howling sea wind.

"General Yu, can these ships be saved?"

On a highland on the coast, in front of a temporary thatched house, Wei Zhongxian, wearing a scarlet python robe, ignored the pouring rain. His eyes were looking straight ahead, his hands hanging down were trembling slightly, but he was talking. At this time, Wei Zhongxian tried hard to maintain restraint.

"can!"

Yu Zigao, who was soaked all over, had bright eyes and a slightly hoarse voice. Port, otherwise, even if we can resist it every time, the damage to the ship will be too great. "

"That's natural!"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes were firm and he said: "After this tsunami is over, if General Yu has any opinions on port construction matters, our family will send people to rectify them."

"Come here!! Go tell those people that as long as they can ensure the safety of the ship, when the tsunami is over, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, no, twenty taels!!"

"Here!!"

A Dongjishi factory official stepped forward and answered.

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yongzhen, Cao Huachun and other eunuchs of the inner court who were standing aside all had expressions of astonishment on their faces. This reward was quite a lot of money!
But they didn't say anything else.

Compared with these silver bounties and the docked ships, they are nothing at all. If the ships were damaged too much, their journey to Dongfan would be greatly affected.

"Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Liturgical Affairs, and the Admiral of the East Jishi Factory, are ordered to supervise the Dongfan Maritime Affairs...Wei Changgong has issued an order. As long as the safety of the sea ships can be ensured, when the tsunami is over, each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!! "

Under the howling wind and pouring rain, dozens of factories were seen banging gongs and rushing towards the coast to convey Wei Zhongxian's orders.

And the crowd who heard this all became excited.

Twenty taels of silver is a lot!
You can buy several acres of land in Fujian alone! !
The attachment to the land seems to be only possessed by people born and raised in China. No matter where they are, as long as there is land, they always want to plant something. No matter how bad the land is, they can still cultivate it.

"Your Majesty, this servant will definitely handle the errands you have given me!!"

On the other hand, Wei Zhongxian looked at one place. Although it was obscured by dark clouds, his eyes were so firm. His hands were hanging down and he clenched them tightly. He secretly thought in his heart that after suffering so much, if he couldn't live in Dongfan... How could he return to the capital if he made achievements, and how could he win a title for the Wei family! !
