When Emperor Chen woke up again, he became completely depressed, his eyes were empty and without any focus.

The result of his convening ministers to study was to try to show goodwill, first send supplies to Minggang City as soon as possible, and then talk to Jiang Xingchen to explain that this is a misunderstanding. Even if others don’t believe it, they must prepare the steps first and then claim the compensation!

He was already prepared before writing that letter to Jiang Xingchen, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xingchen would be so cruel. The reconstruction of Minggang City actually cost 5 billion yellow crystal coins, which emptied the Dachen treasury so much.

The moment he saw the letter, he even had the idea of ​​fighting desperately. But when he heard the news that the Eighth Legion continued to increase its troops to the Dachen border, he knew it was over and he could not refuse at all.

After the Eighth Legion escorted Mr. Huangshi, not only did not retreat, but continued to increase troops. This signal was too obvious. If he disagreed, the other party would definitely launch an attack. The evidence was in Jiang Xingchen's hands. If someone had an excuse to send troops, no other forces could reach out.

"Hey!" Emperor Chen sighed heavily, and for a moment, as if he had been aged for ten years, he ordered in a low voice: "I'll tell you all the ministers to come to see me!"

Not long after, there were violent quarrels in the Dachen Palace, which lasted for a long time...

The news was not deliberately blocked, nor could it be blocked. The Eighth Army gathered on the border of Dachen, and anyone with discerning eyes knew that something was wrong here.

Two days later, the agreement reached between the Great Chen and Xingchen Leader reached the ears of the senior officials of various major forces. The Yueying Kingdom, the Eight Kingdoms, and the Xuanyuan Tianzong, only after hearing this, they realized that the Great Chen Kingdom was a force that took action in advance.

While mourning for Da Chen in his heart, all the forces also thanked him. If it weren't for Da Chen's tenth grade, there would definitely be some people who were trapped in. Look at how much Jiang Xingchen's actions were. The Eight Kingdoms are not the same as one, so they dare not fight against others, otherwise the national strength that had just recovered a little will be gone.

Even the emperor was so angry that he had a cold breath when he learned about Jiang Xingchen's conditions. The budget for 5 billion yellow crystal coins was so bold that this kid really dared to ask for it. Even if the Qiankun Empire, which is now strong, could not bear it.

Take this railway construction as an example. The Empire only provided part of the funds and land. It had to give up half of the future income of the railway to Jiang Xingchen. It was impossible for the Empire to directly take out billions of yellow crystal coins.

The lords of the three territories around Minggang City were so angry that they threw their cups. The jurisdiction of Minggang City expanded outward for a hundred miles, occupying their territory. Not only that, the tax revenue in the future will increase... But no matter how angry they were, they could not refuse. This was not only the order of Emperor Chen, but also the decision made by ministers of various ministries. If they did not agree, they would be able to keep the territory.

Xingchen leader, Grandpa Fu came to the lord's mansion with a smile, and as soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Sir, the Kingdom of Dachen agrees! But he requests to repay it in three years!"

Jiang Xingchen walked out of the house and said lightly: "Yes! They can't come up with so many at one time, and the reconstruction of Minggang City cannot be completed in one year!"

The reason why the budget this time is so high is because of the overall planning of Minggang City. Reconstruction is not just about building a house, but about completely building an industrial port city. Not only underground pipelines need to be built, but also industrial areas, port expansion and other projects. Five billion yellow crystal coins are not necessarily enough!

The following days were lively Minggang City, and hundreds of construction companies from major forces came to grab this cake.

Zhao Danqing and Li Meng and others have to take care of refugees and deal with construction companies, and are very busy.

The same is true for Xingchen Territory. Although the problem of Minggang City has been basically solved, there are still problems with Linhai City and Cursed Land. Linhai City Port needs to be rebuilt. We have to discuss it with Dali, which is not the territory of Xingchen Territory. In addition, the Cursed Land must increase investment in the shipyard and expand the scale of the shipyard. A tsunami almost destroyed all the ships along the coast. A large number of seven-story treasure ships must be built as soon as possible.

In the following days, Xingchencheng was busy with disaster relief. Due to underdeveloped communication, reports on tsunamis in various places also stopped, and everything seemed to be calm. But in fact, the impact of the tsunami was far from over.

Countless merchants who traveled overseas trade in the two major ports suffered heavy losses, which also affected the entire economic chain. People who specialize in overseas goods were affected, including merchants and civilians.

In early November, the impact of the salt production cut in Dali Kingdom finally broke out. The salt prices in many regions such as Qiankun Empire and Yueying Kingdom that rely on Dali salt soared.

Jiang Xingchen was helpless in this regard, and he could only solve it until the production in Dali resumed. As for the salt consumption problem of Xingchenling, the ally of the Daqin Kingdom extended a helping hand. Xingchenling helped them solve the problem of bitter salt mines, and their salt has been left over the years.

The Qiankun Empire originally wanted to seek relief from the Qin Dynasty, but the Orc Alliance took the lead. The Emperor could only order the whole country to save salt and increase the mining efforts of several salt mines.

Jiang Xingchen did not pay much attention to this. He has been staring at Linhai City and overseas these days, and even the research and development of light bulbs and telegraph machines has been handed over to Xianning and others.

The killer whales have been going out several times in recent days, but they have not found any traces of Doudou and the Young Master Heilang. The old man has been away for more than half a month and has not heard from him, which makes him very uneasy. He should have come back even if he calculates the time.

Early in the morning of November 3, Jiang Xingchen had just sent a letter to the Wang family when he heard a rattle above his head. A gust of wind blew up, and the night beheaded leader fell from the sky.

"Old guy, you're back!" Jiang Xingchen shouted loudly, quickly walked to the leader of Ye Xiao, grabbed the old man who had just jumped off, and asked impatiently: "Why have you been there for so long? Is there nothing wrong with Mingque Island?"

The old man had a serious expression, shook his head slightly, and sighed heavily.

Jiang Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Mingque Island was also seriously affected? Is this tsunami so powerful? The mainland is at least 7,000 miles away from Mingque Island.

"Hahahaha... I'm scared, I know!" The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at Jiang Xingchen and laughed.

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen felt his forehead rushing, and his face turned dark. I was so anxious that he was so anxious that he was still joking with me.

However, while being angry, Jiang Xingchen suddenly relaxed. The old man was joking, which means there was no big problem with Mingque Island.

"Boy, don't be anxious! Do you want to listen to the specific situation?" After waving Jiang Xingchen, the old man waved his hand and pulled him into the room.

"Tell me, what's the specific situation!" After entering the room, Jiang Xingchen sat on the chair and asked with a stern face.

"I just came back so coldly, at least I'll drink some water first, your good tea leaves..." The old man said halfway through, and saw that Jiang Xingchen's face was so slight that it could drip into water. He quickly chuckled and said, "Let's talk about the matter first, let's talk about the matter first!"

"This tsunami is quite large and its impact is quite wide! It is estimated that it will occur in the seas between Mantan Island, Chongming Island, and the mainland... The one that suffered the most is Chongming Island. They have three ports facing the tsunami, and the city is all destroyed. I saw dead people who were chewed by fish more than ten miles away..."

Jiang Xingchen frowned, feeling his stomach surging, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the point!"

"Haha!" The old man smiled and continued: "It is said that the waves rushing to the three ports were hundreds of meters high. I saw that almost all the houses near the port collapsed... Mantan Island is similar to Chongming Island, but only two ports were destroyed by the tsunami! You know the location of Mingque Island, close to the deep ocean, hidden behind Mantan Island, the port is facing Mantan Island, and just avoiding it!"

"Hu~" Jiang Xingchen breathed a long sigh. Just if Mingque Island is fine, he has invested huge manpower, material resources and financial resources for this base.

"Boy! Don't be too happy, your losses this time are not small!" The old man said lightly.

"Oh?" Jiang Xingchen looked at him in confusion.

"Don't forget, your overseas layout is a chain, and there are five islands in addition to Mingque Island! Three of them are just between Mantan and Chongming Island. Liangyin Island was almost completely destroyed, and the other two large islands also suffered heavy losses... Also, the port concession on Chongming Island is being established, and now they are all destroyed!"

Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Xingchen's mood became heavy again and asked, "Are there any casualties?"

"One hundred workers sent to Chongming Island disappeared, and nearly two thousand people were injured or killed in the local population of other islands!" said the old man.

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen sighed heavily. There were many craftsmen and workers in Minggang City, and many people who stayed on the port ship in Linhai City were also injured and killed. In addition, the workers lost to Chongming Island, the death toll in this tsunami was more than those who were besieged and killed by Xingchen Territory three years ago.

"Have you brought the list back?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Bring it back!" The old man took out a notebook and handed it to Jiang Xingchen, then patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, think about it! This is a natural disaster and cannot be avoided! Just give more pensions to those who suffer casualties... No matter what, it is fortunate that Mingque Island is not seriously injured!"

Jiang Xingchen nodded and asked, "How is the progress of the fourth brother over there?"

"It is progressing very quickly, and the fourth boy is also very good at attacking! Yan He has been making continuous moves, and the forces on the island have been basically gathered by them, and the port is firmly controlled in his hands!" The old man smiled.

"That's good! By the way, there is no impact on Sizhou Island, right?" Jiang Xingchen asked again.

When I mentioned this, the old man lowered his face again: "I was about to tell you that although the tsunami also had an impact on Sizhou Island, it was far less powerful than Chongming Island and Mantan Island. But strangely, an epidemic occurred there. The reason why I came back so late was because I was worried about affecting Mingque Island after hearing this, so I went over and took a look!"
