When he saw the location marked on the map, Kono's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands holding the drawing were trembling.
"Yamashiro, Hanoi, Yamato...there were earthquakes all over the island, and most of the five areas were destroyed?!"
Not only earthquakes, but also volcanoes continued to erupt, resulting in casualties that have not yet been counted.
But just by seeing the traces drawn with a red pen on the map, Kono guessed that his relatives and friends far away in his hometown were in danger.
Fortunately, they were close to the royal city and protected by King Quede's dragon energy, so they would be able to turn danger into good luck.
Kono showed the map to others to check, while he continued to check the contents on other stationery papers.
Reading from the beginning to the end, what is written above is the specific disaster situation that can be collected in the west of the island near Daxing area, as well as the estimated losses.
The last three pages were the orders given to him by the superior officer.
Only he has the authority to read these orders. Kono glared at them, and the teenage boy who came next to him turned his back, lit up the oil lamp, and read carefully underneath.
After reading the new order, he finally felt relieved from the depression caused by the severe disaster.
Although their purpose of lurking here is to one day cooperate with the outside world and open the city gate to the soldiers of the island who invade Jinling, at this time, the island is suffering from such a serious natural disaster. Most people present are thinking about their relatives and friends in their hometown. Who is still in the mood? Go to war.
Fortunately, Shangguan did not force them to continue completing their daily tasks. Instead, he said that they should use their identities to find a glimmer of hope for their relatives and friends far away in their hometown.
That is, the people of Daxing were asked to pay for food, and after collecting donations for the Japanese people, Shangguan would transport it back to the island, and distribute the money and food obtained from the people of Daxing according to their merits.
The people of Japan are lucky to have such Shangguan and King who are reasonable and kind to the people.
Moreover, Shangguan has already arranged helpers. They only need to use their own connections and influence to cooperate well.
Thinking that his relatives and friends far away on the island were still suffering, and that he didn't know how long this disaster would last, Kono couldn't wait to stand up, his eyes were red, and even the younger boy had already burst into tears. He patted the boy hard. 's back.
"Everyone must cheer up! Whether our relatives and friends on this island can rebuild their homes after the disaster depends on our efforts!"
Everyone cheered up after hearing Kono's words.
yes.
Even if they wanted to rescue their relatives and friends on the island at this time, water far away could not save the fire nearby.
In addition, the local people are so poor that they don’t have much to ask for. If they go, there is no other meaning except starvation and suffering.
It is better to stay in Daxing, take care of yourself first, and then use your status as a craftsman to make some money with your own hands in Daxing, and then send it back to your hometown.
Isn't the reason why they came to Daxing just because the king said that Daxing is full of wealth, and when they make great achievements here, they can bring their relatives over to enjoy it together?
Daxing is different from the Japanese state. Here, as long as you are willing to work hard and slowly accumulate wealth, you can pass it on from generation to generation.
In the Japanese country, the natural disasters that occurred from time to time would wipe out the little wealth they had accumulated with great difficulty, and the oppression of the nobles made it very difficult for them to survive.
Thinking of their relatives who were still suffering in their homeland, these people's eyes filled with tears again and they asked Kono.
"Kono-san, what should we do now? Does the king still plan to send troops?"
People who come to Daxing have already known that sooner or later they will send troops to Daxing. This is why they hang out in Daxing regardless of the danger to their lives.
Sooner or later, this place will become a new Japanese country.
This is the welfare that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their descendants!
Kono faced everyone's expectant eyes and shook his head.
"No."
Everyone was immediately disappointed.
But they also know that at this juncture, whether the prepared soldiers can survive safely is a question. It is simply wishful thinking to send troops to plunder enough money and food at once to return to the homeland to relieve the people in their hometown. .
"We have more important things to do..."
Kono waved to everyone, and the leader of the group quickly moved forward.
After Kono finished telling them what to do, everyone looked puzzled.
"Kono-san, you said that what we want to do recently is to ask the people of Daxing to donate money and food. But instead of trying to win sympathy to get them to raise donations, we have to guide them not to raise donations. What do you want to do, sirs?"
One person lowered his voice and asked inexplicably.
Kono saw the specific plan and naturally understood why, but it was not advisable to explain this matter too clearly to his subordinates, in case the walls had ears and leaked out, ruining the overall situation.
"We will do whatever Shangguan tells us to do. Shangguan said that it was Ning Wuchang who reminded the prefect of Jinling to check the Japanese people before. Ning happened to be a general. It is easy to provoke them to oppose the donation. You only need to find two people. It's enough for an insignificant subordinate to put on a show."
Is Jinling Shixian Ning safe?
The young man who had asked just now had a troubled expression on his face.
It was indeed Ning Wuhuang who proposed the interrogation of the Japanese people, but who in Jinling didn't know that Ning Wuhuang had donated money to build a village school, and also donated money to resettle veterans and wounded soldiers. This man had done countless good deeds.
The most important thing is that as a young man, he had seen the two faces of Ning Wuyi on the road, and he was shocked. He really couldn't imagine that a person with such feng shui and Jiyue, with a pure and kind face, would refuse to do anything when the Japanese country suffered such a disaster. Lend a helping hand.
"Kono-san, this matter is a bit difficult. I heard that Ning Wuyan did not join the Chamber of Commerce, but he donated a lot of money to the Chamber of Commerce and distributed it to people in other prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province for disaster relief."
At this time, another person said excitedly: "Not only that, I heard that he also gave the workers housing allowance. There were collapsed houses in his farm, and he paid for them to be rebuilt. There were disasters in the hometowns of veterans and wounded soldiers." He also welcomes those who come to seek refuge, and specifically bought three thousand acres of land and two villages for this purpose."
The people in the circle spoke highly of Ning Wuchang's actions, and showed envy and jealousy.
When they heard this, they couldn't help but fantasize that it would be great if they were tenants or workers under Ning Wuhuang. Unfortunately, the Ning family was very strict in recruiting people, plus the perfume workshop, ice making workshop and the imperial court If there is a connection, we need to check the three generations of ancestors, and they can't do it even if they want to.
Kono saw that everyone spoke so highly of Ning Wuhuang and firmly believed that Ning Wuhuang would not ignore the disaster in Japan. He also had a headache.
"We must fulfill the superior's order!"
"Everyone should act more realistically and think of more ways. Even if we smear the image of the Japanese, we must set up this example. We are not preventing Ning Wuhuang from donating money and food. We are... we want to promote, but we suppress it first. When we succeed, we can Let Ning Wuyan go from wanting to donate ten thousand taels to one hundred thousand taels, do you understand?"
