Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 571 Nanyang (1)

After a heavy rain.

Bengang is very noisy in the middle of the night. The bonfires dispel the darkness, the sea breeze blows with a coolness, and the buzzing of insects is endless, especially the buzzing mosquitoes, which are too torturous for the policemen on duty. !

"Hurry up!"

"Covering the cub?!"

"Buy and leave!"

In a camp not far from Bengang, there are endless shouts and gambling, which is undoubtedly the best way to pass the time for a large number of hot-blooded men.

"Mr. Factory, isn't it good to keep going like this?"

In the center of the camp, the factory officers of the Dong Jishi Factory were guarding everywhere. In the brightly lit camp, Cao Huachun looked at Wei Zhongxian with a worried look on his face and said with a frown: "Every night when night falls, there are people everywhere in the camp. Gambling has become a common practice, and not only the factory workers of the Dongjishi Factory, but also the craftsmen and laborers who accompany the army are involved. If this continues, it will definitely affect the navy heading to Dongfang. "

"If you don't ask them to gamble, what will you ask them to do?"

Facing Cao Huachun's gaze, Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Tell them to sleep honestly one by one? Eunuch Cao, do you think this is realistic?"

"Yes."

Ge Jiusi said with a half-smile: "Even if I take care of the sky and the earth, can you still take care of their shit and farts? So many people gather in Bengang area, most of them have left their hometowns and come here. They already have fear in their hearts, let alone life. I am unfamiliar with Dongfan. I have been busy and tired all day and want to find a way to relax. Is this wrong? "

Cao Huachun was speechless for a moment.

"Mr. Factory, our family thinks that after some time, we have to try to transport women from Fujian." Li Yongzhen on the side said with a serious expression: "Although there are rewards to appease people's hearts, it won't work after a long time. So many people If we gather together and the fire in our hearts does not vent, then..."

"You can take care of this matter."

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and then glanced at the people gathered in the tent, "Now let's get down to business, how many people have died in the past few days?"

Cao Huachun, who originally wanted to say something, stopped talking when he heard what Wei Zhongxian said. Cao Huachun could guess what they would experience after transporting women from Fujian without even thinking too much.

If this matter were to be reported back to Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid there would be many criticisms and criticisms about this matter.

"Two hundred and seventy-one people died!"

Meng Zhong said in a low voice: "Most of them were swept away by the waves, and some were caught by the wind and cold. The ones who died the most were Lao Zhuang recruited in Fujian."

"We need to take this matter seriously."

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said: "Even if the body cannot be found, those who should be compensated must still be compensated. Now we are first involved in Dongfang. Although we have collected a lot of information in Fujian before, how much of it is true and how much is false remains to be seen. We will investigate and make compensation next, and we have to do it in front of everyone, and we can’t lose even one tael of money!”

"Here!"

Meng Zhong hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Manufacturer, please rest assured, our family will handle this matter well."

"What about the group of people who went to Dongfan with the army? Nothing happened to the grain they carried, right?"

Wei Zhongxian turned to look at Li Yongzhen, "This is our foundation. Your Majesty has emphasized before that if there is a blockade in the future, whether these grains can be planted on a large scale in Dongfan is very important!"

"The people are fine and the food is fine." Li Yongzhen lowered his head slightly and said: "Our family specially selected a group of people and arranged a job to protect them. However, in the past few days, they have been clamoring to explore everywhere, looking for land. Try growing that batch of grain seeds.”

"Wait a few more days."

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said: "The pirates gathered in Bengang were defeated by our Ming navy, but many of them fled into the mountains and fields. After Zu Dashou and the others have cleared them out and the situation has stabilized, we will let them leave the camp to investigate."

"Here!"

Li Yongzhen responded, but secretly complained in his heart. Those guys were stupid and disobedient. The key was that he couldn't beat or scold them. After all, these people were all treasures in the eyes of his prince. Even if Now the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but he doesn't dare to do anything extraordinary.

"Experiencing this tsunami has made our family determined to build a city!!"

While Li Yongzhen was thinking, Wei Zhongxian lifted his sleeves, looked at the eunuchs in the tent, and said in a low voice: "The port near the sea needs to be built, but the city also needs to be built. If there is no place to establish a foundation, then we have no place in Dongfan. Damn it, if something unexpected happens, you won’t even have a chance to wait for a reaction.”

One word stirs up a thousand waves!

"Mr. Factory, if this happens, I won't have enough manpower waiting!"

Cao Huachun was startled and looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "The top priority now is to ensure the construction of the coastal port. The number of laborers who came with the army is only a few thousand. If we also take into account the construction of the city, I'm afraid it will Arousing public dissatisfaction.”

"Yes!"

Ge Jiusi followed closely and said: "Building a city is completely different from building a port. The foundation must be dug deeply and the bricks must be fired. Even though there are craftsmen who specialize in firing cement with us this time, the problem is that there is no cement firing now." There are so many issues to solve and consider regarding the raw materials for making cement. If anything goes wrong in the process, we won’t even care!”

"If there are not enough people, we will recruit from Fujian."

Facing countless gazes, Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice: "If we can't find the raw materials, we will send people to escort the craftsmen to explore everywhere. This matter is not negotiable. The city can be built smaller first, but it must be there. This is our establishment in Dongfan, there is no room for sloppiness!”

"This matter will be handled by Eunuch Cao. During the period, Eunuch Cao can make the final decision on matters that need to be coordinated with Penghu County. However, our family's scandal comes first. Labor, food, salt, medicinal materials, etc. are all indispensable. This place in Dongfan is too bad. If anything goes wrong, there may be internal strife!”

How much money does this cost!
Cao Huachun was very worried. They went to Dongfang according to the order. They received a lot of money from internal funds, but they spent a lot of money in Fujian. Even if some people were filial, the money was confiscated, but they could not withstand such a situation. ah!

What Cao Huachun thought of, Wei Zhongxian had already thought of, and the pressure on him was greater than anyone else!

If you're not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are; if you don't make the decision, you don't know how many chores there are.

Leading a large number of people to Dongfan, Wei Zhongxian had the power to act arbitrarily and was even given a royal flag. However, for Wei Zhongxian, this was more of a spur and a heavy burden!

"Wei Changgong, Zu Dashou's troops escorted back a group of pirates."

At this moment, Yu Zigao's voice sounded outside the tent, "There is one of them who knows a lot about Dongfan and Nanyang. Do you want to meet Mr. Wei Chang?"

"Bring him here!"

As soon as Yu Zigao finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian's voice sounded in the tent.

"Here!"

Yu Zigao responded with clasped fists.
