It’s the middle of winter, but Yazhou is as warm as spring.
The salty sea breeze blew by, and Su Chen lay comfortably on the deck chair by the sea.
There are sounds of warblers and swallows all around.
"Giggle... Mr. Su, let me open a coconut for you!"
At this time, a girl running on the beach came over, then leaned down, and her career line dangled in front of Su Chen's eyes, making her nose bleed.
"Where should I open it?"
Su Chen couldn't move his eyes away.
"Oh, sir, you are annoying!"
After saying that, the girl ran away shyly.
Su Chen looked at the girl running away and curled his lips, "You have been a fox for thousands of years, what are you doing here with me?"
Yazhou.
The climate is humid and the living environment is extremely harsh.
When Su Chen first crossed over, he was directly assigned to Yazhou as the magistrate.
After the Empress came to power, Li Xian was pushed to the fringes of politics. He tried to resist, but was suppressed by the Empress with thunderous means.
Then he was exiled to Yazhou.
As the number one scholar with a life span of three years, Su Chen originally had a bright future just because he was closer to Li Xian.
He was assigned to Yazhou as the magistrate.
When he first arrived in Yazhou, Su Chen was completely confused.
Isn’t this place Sanya? Doesn’t this place have pleasant scenery and a mild climate? Why is it completely different from the impression?
The people who were exiled here did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, and had to fight against typhoons.
Mosquito bites, venomous snakes are rampant, and living conditions are extremely harsh.
But Su Chen just spent eight years building water conservancy projects, cultivating fertile farmland, and gradually transforming Yazhou into what it is today.
"Showing your butt on the beach, the emperor is not as good as me!"
Su Chen sang happily, and then said to Tao'er next to her: "How is the bikini you talked about with Weaving Fang earlier?"
Taoer blushed instantly and said: "Master Zhizhou, those clothes are really too revealing. Even if they were made, not many people would be willing to wear them!"
"Hey, Tao'er, are you willing to wear it?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"If adults want to see it!"
Tao'er rubbed the corners of her clothes a little nervously, and said with embarrassment: "That's not impossible, Tao'er!"
Su Chen looked Tao'er up and down and said with a smile: "Okay, after the first batch comes out, our Tao'er will be the first to wear it!"
Taoer was rescued from the typhoon by Su Chen.
At first, it looked like a skinny monkey. Who knew, but later it would develop like a peach in some places! If you put on a bikini, wow!
While he was sighing, a tall man in official uniform hurriedly ran towards the beach. This man looked tall and thick, about two meters tall.
There is also a large knife at the waist.
"Master!"
The man came to Su Chen and hurriedly said: "Some fishermen said that some ships were found on the sea near Nanxiang Bay. They seem to be a group of pirates. Should we find a way to fight against them?"
"These pirates are so fat!"
As the man spoke, there was a light in his eyes.
When they first came to Yazhou, they were extremely poor.
It was Su Chen who found a way to renovate some ships and relied on supplies from pirates to survive.
However, with the development of Yazhou.
It's been a long time since I've seen these lovable and charming villains.
"Zhang Hu, you have to figure it out!"
Su Chen kicked Zhang Hu hard on the butt: "What do you mean by a vote? We are officials, not robbers!"
"These people are pirates. They came to our territory. We want to protect our people from illegal infringement, so we have no choice but to send troops to destroy them!"
"Do you understand? You are an embarrassment!"
Su Chen cursed and said.
Zhang Hu staggered and covered his butt: "It's the young master. The villain has realized his mistake. Then, should we go and wipe them out?"
"哐..."
Su Chen kicked him hard again.
"What did I teach you? What are you doing to destroy them? They're just a bunch of little pirates. How much money can they have? As long as they don't dock, don't pay any attention to them!"
"Can……"
Zhang Hu was stunned. Isn't this what you taught us before?
Then, he said a little aggrievedly: "Then, are you really going to let them go like this?"
Su Chen glared at Zhang Hu fiercely.
Then, he looked around and found that all the girls around him were playing happily, and no one noticed them, so he pulled Zhang Hu's ear and said.
"When will you be smarter? How long have we been without pirates here?"
“Without pirates, how would we generate revenue?”
"How many people are there on the other side? How many boats are there? Are you sure?"
Su Chen asked softly.
Zhang Hu paused and said, "I don't know how many people there are, but there are three ships, and they are not big ships."
"Only three?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment.
"You go back and find Master Tang and ask him to send a report to the court, saying that a group of Japanese pirates were found in Yazhou, with a total of three thousand people and fifty large ships!"
"They come ashore from time to time to harass the people, and the people of Yazhou are miserable! It is difficult to resist their harassment."
"Yazhou wants to organize the people to resist, but we have no money and no food. I would like to ask the court to approve 50,000 taels of silver. We vow to fight the Japanese pirates to the death!"
Su Chen's voice was very soft: "Tell Master Tang, I want to write it sincerely, I want it to be exciting, and I want to write it so touching that I can't help but cry!"
"clear!"
Zhang Hu nodded excitedly.
Then, he said cautiously: "Did we pay too much this time?"
"how?"
Su Chen said earnestly: "You have to know that it is not easy to find a group of pirates in Yazhou. It has not opened for several years. Is it too much to have a group of larger pirates?"
"The imperial court will never suspect anything. After all, they know exactly what Yazhou was like before."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Zhang Hu nodded: "What about this group of pirates?"
"Tell the nearby fishermen not to act rashly, and you must not scare these pirates away. Keep them for now until the food money from the court comes in!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Su Chen's voice.
"Tell them, if anyone dares to scare away these pirates and cut off Yazhou's financial path, then they will no longer stay in Yazhou! They will immediately deprive them of their household registration and expel them from Yazhou!"
Hear this!
Zhang Hu couldn't help but take a breath, this punishment was a bit too harsh, wasn't it?
at the same time.
A carriage creaked along the bumpy official road.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to return power to Li? You have worked hard to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, you are..."
"Talk too much!"
An unusually majestic voice came from the carriage.
