When Taylor heard Jeffrey's voice, he quickly opened his eyelids and looked around.
"That's right! That's the port! Look! That's our ship!"
"Why is our ship so charred and black? It looks like it has been burned by fire?"
"Where are the people on our boat? Why has the boat completely docked?"
"Didn't they say we won't be allowed to unload the goods until we come back?"
"No, no..." Jeffrey shook his head vigorously, "Let me figure it out!"
"We were still at Yulong Villa this morning! Yulong Villa is inland of Daliang! It's far away from the sea!"
"Now, we are at the port?! When we went there, we walked for half a month! Why did we just... blink of an eye when we came back?!"
Jeffrey stared at his old friend Taylor in disbelief.
But he found that Taylor looked at him with even more incredible eyes.
Suddenly, Taylor burst into laughter, "Brother! Is this another surprise for us from Daliang people?"
"Surprise?! Are you sure you're not scared?" Jeffrey rolled his eyes.
"Game! Fantasy game!" Taylor said excitedly.
Jeffrey seemed a little speechless, "If it's a game, why are we tied up? And we have firearms?"
Taylor said, "In order to make the game more realistic and have a stronger experience!"
Jeffrey: "..."
Maybe you ate too much glutinous rice and all your thoughts are racing!
"Sir! Are you back? So you are really still alive? You are still alive! Daliang people did not lie to us! Wuwu..."
The young officer was taken out of prison.
He was also brought to Jeffrey and Tyler with his hands tied.
When the young officer saw the two familiar officers, he couldn't help but sob with excitement.
The tall and handsome young man cried like a child.
Taylor scolded, "Why are you crying? What is going on? Why are you tied up too? Where is Tariq?"
After hearing the superior's reprimand, the young officer quickly sniffed and collected his emotions.
"The Liang men sneaked aboard our ship and inspected our cargo. Tariq caught them and wanted them for himself!"
"The people from Daliang got angry and turned into phoenixes, firebirds and golden dragons! They burned our ship!"
"But the firebird stopped the dragon to save our people, and they put out the fire again!"
"Tariq lied to us! He said you were dead! The Daliang people wanted to swallow our goods, so we sailed away!"
"But we were caught up by Daliang's ship again and blocked back! We were forced to unload the goods and found out that our goods were fake! 90% of them were fake! Only 10% of them were real!"
"Tariq escaped! I have never seen Tariq again. I don't know where he escaped... Wuwu..."
The young officer told everything he knew and experienced in one breath.
But he completely failed to consider the understanding ability of the two officers.
Tyler and Jeffrey were completely stunned.
"What is he saying?"
"You have a mental breakdown. Are you talking crazy things?"
Tyler and Jeffrey were frowning and looking suspicious.
Wen Jin came to the dock with Que Ling, Han Xian and Shi Shiran.
Zhou Lingfeng and others quickly stepped forward to pay tribute.
"Take them to see the goods." Wen Jin ordered.
Seeing it is worse than hearing it a hundred times. It is better to let them see it with their own eyes than to explain it in a thousand words.
That batch of goods was piled in a large warehouse near the dock.
Taylor and Jeffrey were taken to Okura, their hands were untied, and they came forward to check.
"Impossible! This is impossible! Why is it fake? It can't be fake!"
"When loading, we inspect every box carefully! This kind of thing can't happen!"
"After being loaded onto the ship, these goods have never left the cargo hold! No one! No one can switch them!"
Taylor stared, blushing and yelled.
Wen Jinze looked calm and looked at him indifferently.
The young officer sniffed, "It's true! Tariq knows magic! He deceived us!"
"Shut up!" Taylor roared at him like an angry lion.
Wen Jin smiled lightly, "I didn't bring you to see these fakes to make you believe them."
Que Ling was translating at the side.
When Taylor and Jeffrey heard this, they looked at Wen Jin blankly.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business." Wen Jin's attitude was easy-going, "The tradition of Daliang people is to die, but also to make people understand death..."
Before she could finish her words, Jeffrey screamed, "You want to kill us? You promised me! If you don't kill me! You can't say one thing and do another!"
"You are the queen! You must keep your promise!"
"At least you! At least let me go!"
Jeffrey's advantage in being able to speak Daliang was most vividly demonstrated at this moment.
He sold out all his teammates, and they didn't know what was going on.
Wen Jin smiled and said, "No, Daliang never kills prisoners for no reason."
Que Ling was translating at the side.
Wen Jin called Jiang Shuo and Wen Yuanjie to come forward.
"I'll leave these people to you. I plan to divide them into two groups. One group will be scattered in the northwest to plant trees and improved potatoes."
"It can not only improve the environment in the northwest, but also increase real estate, so that the people in the northwest can have enough to eat! They don't have to eat sand every day."
Ancient people did not have the awareness and technology to improve the environment and plant trees to control desertification.
But Wen Jin has this awareness and also has room to improve crops.
It's just that the people today don't have the perspective to span hundreds of years and thousands of years, so they don't know the significance of this matter.
Instead of laboring hard to popularize science, it is better to send prisoners to do it. When the environment improves and economic benefits appear... naturally, some people will take the initiative to join this cause!
"The other group is scattered in various mines. They are not required to mine, but they are still required to plant trees and shrubs to improve the mined environment."
Wen Jin said.
As the old saying goes, the predecessors planted trees so that the next generation can enjoy the shade.
They can't do what their predecessors did in mining and wait for future generations to fill in the holes, right?
When it comes to managing the environment, the earlier we start, the better.
Landforms that have been mined are difficult to restore and may even become barren of vegetation.
But with space in hand, there is no land that cannot be saved!
Jiang Shuo immediately raised his hand and said, "Yes!"
"Wait!" Jeffrey's eyes rolled very quickly.
As soon as Wen Jin finished his words, he immediately said, "Dear Queen of Daliang, if I join Daliang's nationality! Take the initiative to do what you just told me to do, plant trees and potatoes, can you give me a high official and a generous salary? Can I also live a good and respected life in Daliang?"
Wen Jin's eyes lit up and she smiled slightly, "Of course! I'm very happy that you think so."
Jeffrey laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Queen! Where can we live but live? Only by following the trend can we live happily!"
The people around him all looked at Jeffrey with smiles, and some even gave him a thumbs up.
Taylor didn't quite understand, so he pestered Que Ling to translate for him what happened.
After Que Ling translated.
He yelled at Jeffrey, "You traitor! You are greedy for life and afraid of death! You are a coward!"
At this time, Wen Yuanjie held up his hands and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you, your Majesty, I have a request. I hope you will be kind to me!"
"As far as I know, Taylor is a very experienced old captain. He has many good ideas about navigation and ship structure."
"I hope to keep Taylor by my side, learn from him, and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes."
This time, Que Ling took the initiative to translate for Taylor without waiting for him to ask her.
