Super dictator.

Standing on the rocks by the sea with his hands behind his back, Wei Jichen looked at the busy crowd, feeling very happy in his heart. www

The construction of the port is progressing rapidly, and Dalian and Lushun are very close to here. Whenever he is free, he will bring two or three soldiers to Changxing Island to have a look. The main reason is that he wants to buy a few submarines as soon as possible.

The main body of the design of Changxing Island Port is based on the design of Lushun Port, which is why the progress is so fast.

"General, the wind is blowing and the waves are blowing. It seems that the weather is about to change." The foreman stepped forward worriedly and reported to Wei Jichen.

It can't be a typhoon, Wei Jichen doesn't understand these things, but this foreman is very experienced, since he dared to report to himself, he must be seven or eight percent sure.

Wei Jichen nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then everyone go down to rest first, and make up the progress that is in arrears tomorrow."

"I thank the general on behalf of the brothers." Seeing Wei Jichen being so eloquent, the foreman was completely relieved.

More than 1000 people quickly packed up their things, and not long after that, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning flashed, and heavy rain came instantly, which made Wei Jichen have to admire the foreman's ability.

The waves hit the port one after another, but were blocked by the left and right sides. When they reached the port, they became very small. It turned out that this is what the engineer said that the small waves are natural ports. Wei Jichen suddenly realized.

However, tens of nautical miles away from Changxing Island, the violent waves were violently ups and downs. At this time, there was still a ship riding on the huge waves and advancing rapidly.

In the captain's room, Princess Maud's old attendant looked worriedly at the huge waves.

"Jack, there is no problem. I believe you know that there is no major problem if we have an accident, but Her Royal Highness is also on this ship." The old attendant lowered his voice and said softly.

European royal princes and princesses in this era are different from Chinese princesses and princes. Instead of staying in the court all day, they travel around to gain knowledge.

For example, the current Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, when he was the crown prince, had already traveled around the world, including China and Japan, and was assassinated in Japan.

Maude's father, Edward Widding, also visited European and American countries. When Kaiser Wilhelm II was the crown prince, he served in the Austrian Army, and he was also in the same team as Yin Chang, the current general manager of the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy. Ren Wangba's eyes on mung beans finally fell in love, so every time there was a Sino-German friction, the Qing court sent this Yinchang to Germany to mediate.

The flowers in the greenhouse, even if there is sufficient sunlight, will not have the tough flower stems that have experienced wind and rain.

Captain Jack had two mustaches, he didn't care, and said with a relaxed face: "Old John, don't worry, Jack has never seen any kind of wind and waves, these are just small winds and small waves."

"Isn't Lushun port next to the Chinese? How about we go there first to avoid the limelight?" Old John was still very cautious.

Captain Jack shrugged helplessly, and smiled: "If you insist, we will go there, but you have to compensate me for the time I lost."

"You miser!" Seeing Jack agree, Old John felt relieved immediately.

Jack was about to give the order to change the direction and head towards Lushunkou, but suddenly he saw a dark thing floating in the sea, propelled by huge waves, coming towards the bow of the ship.

"Oh, God." Jack's hands stopped in the air and he let out a cry.

Seeing his panicked look, Old John's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"God, a mine!" Jack pointed at the object that was about to hit the hull, and cursed loudly: "Damn the Japanese."

During the war, the Japanese dropped countless mines in this sea area. Although some of them were cleared, some were missed. Today, they were pushed towards this ship by rough seas.

If the ship was hit by this mine on weekdays, maybe it would be fine after repairing it, but today, in such bad weather, Jack stomped his feet and roared: "Quick, quick, turn the rudder as hard as you can to avoid it .”

Accompanied by Jack's hoarse roar, there was a huge explosion.

boom…

The entire ship was jolted, and even the red wine bundled on the table fell to the wooden planks with a bang, breaking into pieces.

Following the explosion, the huge waves rushed up the ship continuously, splashing water onto the deck, and Jack and Old John's hearts sank continuously.

"Captain Jack, a big hole has been blown out of the hull, and sea water is constantly pouring in." The first mate rushed into the captain's cabin, trembling and terrified in his voice.

Outside the door, there were countless people screaming and running around.

This British ship was mainly used as a cargo ship, but it was also used as a passenger ship. Chuanshan carried about 40 people, including more than [-] of Maud's entourage, including guards, cooks, doctors, translators, etc.

"Rush to repair, hurry to repair! Make up the gap for me." Jack roared with his eyes protruding.

Crashing... Another huge wave hit like a mountain, and the entire hull of the freighter actually began to tilt down. Obviously, it was seriously flooded and overwhelmed.

Captain Jack's face was ashen, and he waved his hands weakly: "Launch the lifeboat."

Old John rushed to the first-class cabin the moment the ship hit the mine.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Along the way, countless people were running around, unaware that the ship had sunk, and no matter where they ran, it was useless.

At the end of the catastrophe, they flew separately, and who would listen to his orders? Old John gritted his teeth, pulled out his pistol, and killed the two orientals standing in front with two bang bangs. open.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Old John rushed into the first-class cabin and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw several guards surrounding Maud.

"Quickly, get the lifeboat ready for Her Royal Highness." Old John saw the water surge in and shattered the surrounding window glass, so he couldn't help giving an order hastily.

Several guards looked at Maud, who did not change his face.

"You go and prepare." Maud waved his hand lightly and said calmly.

Although she tried her best to maintain a royal demeanor, Old John still saw a trace of panic in Maud's eyes.

Just as Maude got on the lifeboat, suddenly, a shocking wave rolled back, and the ship, which was half sunk, was instantly sucked into the waves and swallowed into the sea.

"Your Highness!..." Old John only exclaimed anxiously, and his voice stopped abruptly.

...

Due to the strong wind and heavy rain, Wei Jichen had no choice but to temporarily stay on Changxing Island to rest for the night. Fortunately, this place will become his second home in the future.

Wei Jichen has been doing a lot of construction work on the island, and he has had people build a simple temporary wooden house first, and the official mansion is also under construction.

Sitting in the wooden house, Wei Jichen entered the system again. After a few days of calmness, he finally understood the good intentions of the system. The reason why the wheat bought from the system could not be grown outside his own territory was that It is the system that thinks of itself.

In this way, the species will not be stolen by other countries, and you should buy seeds from me obediently every year. Just think about it, wheat is the second largest food crop in the world. Business', the wealth that can be earned every year is an astronomical figure.

The world's largest food crop is corn. Corn can be used as food, feed, wine, and even industrial raw materials.

Such a multi-purpose crop with a wide distribution range, of course Wei Jichen would not let it go, and immediately entered the system to check the price of corn.

For corn seeds, about 4 kg of seeds are needed per acre.

Ordinary corn seeds, yield 400kg-700kg per mu, 1kg of seeds requires 15 prestige points.

High-quality corn seeds, yield 700kg-1000kg per mu, 1kg of seeds requires 25 prestige points.

Premium corn seeds, yield 1000kg-1300kg per mu, 1kg of seeds requires 35 prestige points.

The yield of corn is lower than that of wheat, and the price is actually a bit higher. However, Wei Jichen knows that the conditions for growing corn are relatively loose, and some dry places in the northwest can't grow other things, but they can grow corn.

Therefore, these cannot be measured by price.

Just in time, when the wheat is harvested next year, we should interplant corn. Wei Jichen made a decision in his heart.

This year, Changxing Island has [-] acres of fields, but this is not enough. I have all kinds of seeds here, so I should at least set up some experimental fields.

It's a pity that the prestige points are spent too quickly, more than 8 prestige points, just buying wheat seeds cost more than 3 at once, if I buy some other things, I believe it will not take long.

Fortunately, the prestige value now has an average income of more than 3 per month, and with the implementation of new measures in Liaodong, and the continuous influx of immigrants, the monthly income will definitely become more and more impressive.

The merit value has now stopped at more than 8 points. Wei Jichen has not carried out bandit suppression activities, so naturally he will not have any income.

In Wei Jichen's view, the prestige value is Wenzhi, and the meritorious service is martial arts. This is because the system secretly promotes the balanced development of Wenzhi and martial arts.

Well, it's time to enter the system to learn from Mozi.

After learning from Mozi, he can buy various machinery and equipment, and then sell these equipment at high prices to iron factories, coal factories, gun factories, and power plants, and he can turn merit points and prestige points into real silver. .

It's just that you have to find an agent abroad and set up a leather bag company, so that it will be easy to operate.

Wei Jichen began to think secretly in his heart.

The torrential rain didn't stop until the next day, and when Wei Jichen was about to lock himself in the room to 'practice' for two days, Liu Buchan sent him a letter.

This morning, as soon as Liu Buchan entered the Dockyard, he heard Li Dingxin, the deputy manager, coming to report yelling.

"Admiral, there are a lot of broken boards floating in the port. It seems to be the wreckage of a shattered ship. Moreover, when the subordinates sent boats to check around, they found many dead bodies." Li Dingxin said solemnly.

Liu Buchan immediately stood up and asked aloud, "Have you asked other ports that some of the departing ships passed through Lushun Port yesterday?"

"Admiral, my subordinates have checked. A British merchant ship departing from Dagu Port should have passed through the sea off Lushun yesterday." Li Dingxin said cautiously.

"It's a British merchant ship. It's a little troublesome. Do a good job of investigating. It is estimated that the British will send people to investigate in the near future. We must cooperate well then." Liu Buchan said with a frown.

The imperial court has always been afraid of foreigners, and now that something happened to a foreigner's ship in the Chinese waters, it will definitely cooperate with the foreigners to find out the cause of the accident and put the relationship aside, Liu Buchan sighed in his heart.

Li Dingxin nodded and went down, but soon came back with a surprised face.

"Admiral, we found a living person." Li Dingxin couldn't wait to ask Liu Buchan.

"Really, in such bad weather yesterday, it is a miracle that people are still alive after the ship sank." Liu Buchan stood up and exclaimed. In any case, with a living person, the cause of the accident can be understood a day earlier.

Li Dingxin also admired: "It's an English woman, but she's a little in a trance."

Not long after, the two entered the medical room.

Liu Buchan saw a beautiful foreign woman with long brown hair lying on the bed. The woman's eyes were closed tightly and her lips were still trembling slightly. A military doctor had just taken her pulse.

Liu Buchan stepped forward and asked softly, "How is the situation?"

The military doctor saluted slightly, and said with relief: "If you go back to your lord, there is no danger of life. As for the rest, I don't know for the time being. The next official will prescribe some medicines for calming the nerves and nourishing the body first."

The conversation between the two apparently woke up the woman on the bed. She opened her confused eyes, and when she saw the three people in the room, she asked aloud, "Where is this?"

They spoke English, but both Liu Buchan and Li Dingxin had drunk foreign ink and stayed in England for several years, so they spoke English very fluently.

Liu Buchan immediately replied with a smile: "Beautiful lady, don't worry, you are safe, this is Lushunkou."

This woman is naturally Princess Maud, and her beautiful eyes are still full of confusion.

"Lushunkou, I... who am I?" Maude asked, pointing to his nose.

Liu Buchan was a little stunned, and looked at the military doctor, who replied with some uncertainty: "It may be because of this catastrophe that she temporarily lost her sanity, but she doesn't speak like a person who has lost her sanity, so she must have lost some memory temporarily. It should be able to recover after a period of recuperation."

The military doctor's explanation reassured Liu Buchan, and looking at the bewildered Maud, Liu Buchan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one to find the answer. Can't you recall something? This is China, the Qing Dynasty, you Take a boat from Dagukou, Tianjin to Japan."

Mo De frowned and thought hard, and muttered to himself: "I remember, what a big wave, and then, is this China? People in the Qing Dynasty all dragged their braids, Wei Jichen..."

Although Maud stayed in China for a long time, Wei Jichen impressed him the most in the whole of China. When other Qing people saw her as a foreigner, they were afraid to avoid her. Only Wei Jichen even came forward to tease her. Speaking of the Qing Dynasty, as soon as China was mentioned, such a name suddenly flashed in Mo De's mind.

Liu Buchan was taken aback, and asked with a strange expression, "Do you know Wei Jichen?"

Maude only remembered the name of the person, but couldn't remember what happened specifically. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "Maybe I know you."

Liu Buchan saw that her demeanor was generous and natural, and it could be seen from the clothes she was wearing that she was not an ordinary person.

At this time, she heard that she might know Wei Jichen, so she immediately sent someone to inform her.
