The most important reason why officials, the people and the people fled Chongming is actually... This ghost place is too unreliable. Maybe one day you have worked hard to build a home and plant a good crop, and it will collapse again into **.

Especially since the early years of Jiajing, the sands began to change frequently, and the islands split and merged, and the rise and collapse were impermanent.

In the past forty years, the county town has moved three times on Sansha, Yao Liusha and other sand islands.

First, in the eighth year of Jiajing, the county town located in Yaoliusha collapsed in the sea, and the magistrate led all the county's elders to move north to Sansha Island.

Then in the 29th year of Jiajing, Sansha Island also collapsed, and the county town had to move to Pingyangsha again.

Then the previous year, that is, the 45th year of Jiajing, the ocean sand collapsed again...

This is also the main reason that prompted the court to finally decide to cancel the Tianci Salt Field. How can I open a salt field in such a place without Liu'er? It's not enough to make a fortune!

~~

Listening to the rain in the pavilion, the sound of rain outside turns into a rhyme, making people tired.

"I heard that the county town has not yet chosen a location." Zhao Hao took a sip of Xishan Yunwu Tea, but felt the fragrance and sweet taste slowly moistened the lungs and penetrated into his limbs, making people feel like the wind in his armpits. It was like drunkenness, and it felt like it was floating in the air.

"Yes. It is said that the premiere was frightened and he had always lived in the Sea God Temple in Xisha, using the office of the Xisha Inspection Department." Jin Xuezeng nodded and smiled bitterly:

"In addition, in the past few years, they fought against the Japanese and withdrew again, and the island's vitality was severely damaged, so they have been doing it until now."

"It's really ridiculous. If there is another Japanese pirate, there will be someone running in the county?" Yu Shensi said angrily: "I heard that even the garrison on Chongming Island has been transferred to Jinshan. I think the court intends to give up Chongming!"

"The skeleton has grown." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. Yu Shensi's flaw is his sensitivity and delicateness.

But if you use him right, this sensitivity and delicacy will make him discover problems earlier than others and detect those intentions that have not yet surfaced.

"The court had this intention. The revocation of the Tianci Salt Field and the transfer of Chongming Generals were all caused by Xu Fan when he was in the cabinet." Mr. Zhao said to the two disciples in a deep voice: "The purpose is to cause a large number of islanders to flee to the mainland. So where can the refugees escape?"

"Either Taicang or Songjiang. In the past two years, my father-in-law's family and three junior brothers' families have really absorbed a lot of refugees." Hua Shuyang poured tea for the three of them and whispered: "Of course, most of them are attracted to the Xu family."

"What do the Xu family want to do for such people?" Jin Xuezeng asked with a frown. Grandma, she actually dared to beat Jin Gongmen to rule the people.

"It's more useful. The Xu family needs so many places to be used, as well as cotton spinning and silk weaving workshops, and tens of thousands of spinners and weaving women." Hua Shuyang said, lowering his voice:

"Besides, the Chongming people are the best sailors. Their sand boat gangs have followed Zheng He to the West. Of course, they are now traveling to the river."

Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this. How could a cat not steal fish? The sand boat gang has a unique position. Even if it is not smuggled in person, it is an important part of smuggling.

Jin Xue once had hair stickers that were more refined than monkeys, and he immediately understood what Hua Shuyang meant.

"Senior Brother Third said that the Xu family wanted to take advantage of the severe collapse of the sandbank to bring all the people of Chongming County to Songjiang and carry the work for his family?"

Zhao Hao thought to himself that the British sheep eats people, and the Ming sand eats people. As expected, there is no good thing for capitalists.

Of course, this is an exception.

Well, I am a capitalist who is dedicated to the country and does not seek personal gain.

"There is another step." Hua Shuyang is the third son of the Hua family and the eldest son-in-law of the Wang family. He has a much better understanding of these secret activities than his two junior brothers.

"When the population of Chongming Island has gone ten times and all industries have declined, they will operate and withdraw the county. As for why they need to withdraw the county and what to do after the county is withdrawn, I don't know."

"What else can you do? Such an excellent smuggling port is of course used to rebuild the glory of Shuangyu and Zhoushan..."

Zhao Hao revealed the secret of heaven in one word.

Some things can only be discussed in interviews and cannot be conveyed through letters. He only has one night, so he naturally has to explain them clearly to his disciples and has no time to hide them.

"There are still many fertile land on the island, and they can also take it for themselves after the county is withdrawn." Hua Shuyang acknowledged his master's guess.

This is also the reason why he is obsessed with mathematics and ignores civil affairs.

Dirty, too dirty.

Therefore, the third prince of the Hua family always only spends money and does not ask how he earns it.

~~

"ah……"

Jin Xuezhe once was stunned.

He thought he was going to the overseas Yingzhou like a novice village to level up, but he didn't expect to face the most terrifying enemy when he got up.

"Master, can I do this?" He looked at Zhao Hao pitifully and said, "Why does it feel that that place is even more terrifying than Kunshan?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Hao laughed loudly and said, "Do you know why you should choose these two places as a teacher?"

The disciples quickly started to use their smart little brains to supplement their brains... Oh no, I was thinking about it.

"It's because the more difficult the area is, the more capable you can show your ability and make achievements!" Hua Shuyang replied hurriedly.

"Crisis and crisis, opportunities are available in danger. Opportunities are always brewing in danger, but ordinary people cannot see them." Yu Shensi also quickly offered a not-so-proficient flattery:

"Master must have seen the opportunity, so he chose these two places. Master is great!"

"Can Chongming Island be saved? It's true that he is worthy of being a master..." Jin Xuezeng praised. Although he is usually polite, his tongue will rust when he flatters...

Zhao Hao smacked his lips. The three of them said correctly, but they always felt that there was something missing and there was no internal taste.

Mr. Zhao suddenly patted his forehead lightly, leaving his elder apprentice missing.

Without Wang Wuyang's flattery, I was so tired.

Alas, it’s all my fault that this guy usually takes all the flatteries and doesn’t give the junior brothers the chance to exercise.

Now, I'm fine, I'm sorry to be less when I use it?

Mr. Zhao sighed and stopped forcing.

"Yes, Kunshan and Chongming are both excellent things that make men unparalleled achievements and are famous in history!"

Then he said to Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi who were looking forward to him: "Don't worry, their intention to withdraw the county in Chongming is doomed to go bankrupt!"

The three disciples were so excited that their hearts were beating all over when they heard this - it came, it came, and the great prophecy that made 100% of their lives came again!

"Yes!" The two disciples were very focused on their happiness.

As long as the master said he couldn't handle it, the people named Xu couldn't handle it even if they were in trouble!

But the surprise was not over yet, and Mr. Zhao asserted again: "You set up the county seat on Changsha Island to ensure that the Jin Tang will never collapse into the water again!"

‘Is this also a great prophecy?’ The disciples’ hearts were pounding, but no one dared to ask too much.

"Because I have investigated before, the large-scale collapse of Chongming is coming to an end." However, Zhao Hao said lightly: "Then we will soon connect with Changsha as the center, forming an unprecedented large island with no chance of collapse. A real Chongming Island! Want to withdraw the county? There is no gate!"
