The fleet went down the river and arrived at Nansha Island, where Chen Kai was stationed. Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, Hong Xu and Chen Qice worked hard to transport the people. After they returned from Hong Kong Island, Chen Kai boarded the ship again, following those stranded in Nansha.

People headed together to the final transit point on Hong Kong Island.

When Chen Kai arrived, it was already early the next morning. Last night, the people who had arrived earlier had already entered the camp, distributed tents for camping, and assigned simple houses to rest. Today, the last batch of people arrived, and Chen Kai was not needed

Don't worry about it. The petty officials and government servants he brought will take care of it.

"You will be resettled in the same village. Those who live in any village will report to that village. There are signs for the assigned areas in each village. Follow the signs to find them."

"From Zhuangyuanfang, come here from Zhuangyuanfang."

"Is there anyone in Yuhuafang? Let's live together in Yuhuafang so we can take care of each other."

"..."

According to their respective directions, the people were constantly diverted, bit by bit from the crowded docks, and reintegrated into the original grassroots administrative system with Lijia as the unit.

Living with neighbors in Tongfang Lane, they can take care of each other, and they will feel much more psychologically stable if they can be with acquaintances, and the problems of unfamiliar places will be reduced by at least half. At the beginning of his fortune, Chen Kai couldn't care less about this.

Many, but now, it must be like this, because with the transportation capacity of the Ming army, transporting all the people back to Chaozhou in one go must be a dream, and it is simply unrealistic. Many of them need to be transported back to Chaozhou in Hong Kong

It will take some time to stay there before you can completely leave the confines of Guangzhou Prefecture.

"It worked. I made a fortune this time."

"How do you say this?"

Everyone was still returning to their respective places outside. When they arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Hong Xu took out the account book, pointed to the words on it and said: "The treasury silver of the Guangzhou vassal treasury totals more than 118,600 taels, which is the vassal treasury."

There seems to be something wrong with the treasury's account books. It seems that not all treasury money is in it, but there may be some other money placed here under the banner of treasury silver."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Kai rolled his eyes and recalled that those senior civil servants seemed to have resisted fiercely, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"Three years to clear the magistrate's office, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. If you calculate it this way, it's not much."

When Hong Xu said this, he revealed it with just a slight smile. But there was one thing that made him a little worried. In fact, there was nothing to worry about at first. However, Chen Kai left a printed message

, if this matter goes to the court, it will not sound good no matter what.

"Do you really not need to pay back this money?"

"Don't worry, Du Yonghe has no face to come to us to ask for it. If he really has the face to ask for it, then drag it until he has no face."

"That's good, that's good."

The matter of silver has come to an end. Chen Kai really hasn't pulled out many things from the city. The boat is full of people, and everyone's baggage is their own. It's not easy for him to collect it. But the boat,

But they still got a lot, which made Hong Xu a little envious.

"On our trip, the Marquis of Fu Ming, the Marquis of Min'an, and I brought 436 large and small ships successively. Most of the ships of Lin Marquis and Zhou Marquis were warships, and the ships I brought were basically merchant ships for transporting goods.

.The total number of merchant ships and fishing boats you got from Guangzhou this time is about 800, large and small. This does not include the ones you gave to Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue and the others, as well as the ones that intercepted the Japanese fleet. This is comparable to

It’s faster if we make it ourselves.”

Xu Long and Sheng Dengke were in charge, and the Qing fleet that entered the main channel of the Pearl River was almost completely annihilated. Some were captured, but they were all the work of Chen Qice. After all, Guangzhou Yiyong can still exert some home field advantage in the water, and jumping bang is

Never dare to think about it.

However, the ships given to Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue and the others were all Fuzhou and Guangzhou ships that could carry more than a hundred people. In this way, the eight hundred large and small ships collected by Chen Kai were actually only small ones.

It seems to be quite huge. Many of them were not well maintained and Hong Xu no longer planned to take them back. They were used as fishing boats here without maintenance. When they were no longer used, they were pulled ashore and dismantled to be used as firewood by the people.

"Hey, he is the governor. I am a small prefect, so I can't afford to offend him. I can't afford to offend him."

In terms of official positions, it seemed that even Zheng Chenggong's arrival would be useless. The two looked at each other and smiled, but no one really took Du Yong and the arrogant Fenghuang seriously, and soon turned to more practical matters.

Here comes the question.

"I made a rough estimate and it turns out that the number of people you brought to Hong Kong Island this time will not be less than 100,000. Among them, there are more than 31,400 military households, and the rest are civilian households.

In addition, there are still a large number of people fleeing on their own in Nansha Island and Henan Island, and this number is likely to be more than what we transported, or even much more."

What Hong Xu said was true. Chen Kai came and opened the floodgates to release the water. Not to mention, all the people in the new city and the four guard military households fled. Even the people in the old city also escaped too many. Although

, this number is likely to be even greater for those who have not yet been massacred and those who will be massacred, but it is still two to three hundred thousand lives, which is really no joke.

"It's too much. I'm afraid Chaozhou won't be able to digest it. Hey, I guess these 100,000 yuan will take a lot of effort."

Chaozhou is so big, and Zheng Chenggong's battle in southern Fujian doesn't seem to be going well. There's nothing that can be done about it. Lu Jianguo went to Zhejiang, Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian brothers' power was almost wiped out, and Zheng Hongkui was still in Chaozhou. In this way

, Zheng Chenggong seemed a little too conspicuous, attracting too much attention from the Fujian Qing army, and the pressure increased sharply. Not to mention fishing in troubled waters, I guess I will have to gnaw hard bones again and again in the future.

Hong Xu was very worried about the carrying capacity of the land in the existing occupied area. Even Chen Kai, although he had made a vision earlier, could not completely relax since he did not turn his vision into reality for a day.

.

"It's okay, there's always a way. Let's get it out as soon as possible."

"It's not difficult to transport it. You have prepared everything. The shortage is huge, so it's not impossible to make do. But no matter how you calculate it, it will take at least two boats to transport everyone to Chaozhou."

"Twice is enough. Then let the soldiers repair it in the past two days. When they come back, prepare to draw lots in public to decide the order."

"that is it."

In the whole morning, the people got off the boat and went to the areas divided by their respective lanes. They were surrounded by familiar people, and their anxiety was reduced. In the afternoon, the actual data passed through each lane, and the responsible officials and government officials

Their statistics were summarized and sent directly to Chen Kai.

"One hundred and twenty-eight thousand, six hundred and seventy-seven people, Uncle Hong, is it enough to transport them twice?"

"Should, maybe."

Men, women, old and young were of different sizes, and the size of their belongings was not uniform. It was impossible for Hong Xu to specify the number of people each ship could carry. It was actually more than they had estimated earlier.

Nearly 30,000 people were recruited, which had to make Chen Kai and others feel a huge pressure.

By evening, everything was roughly arranged, and it would only take a few days for repairs to be carried out. Before it was time to eat, Chen Kai simply left the office and went to inspect the camp.

The central area of ​​what was later called Victoria Harbor was dotted with bonfires, dotting this beautiful harbor that was naturally carved without showing any trace of craftsmanship. The porridge in the camp was just like last night. Nowadays, the people are used to queuing up to receive it, and everything is running as usual.

, the grain shipped by Chen Kai began to work and support his livelihood, but the quantity could not last for long, and the people had to be transported back to Chaozhou as soon as possible.

Thinking about these things, Chen Kai walked on the road between the two camps, constantly observing the surrounding people's livelihood. But just as a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes, not far away, an old man who was almost waiting in line unexpectedly appeared.

He turned his head and looked over, then jumped out of the queue and trotted all the way to Chen Kai.

"Governor Chen has brought great merit to the people of Guangzhou by bringing great merit to the world. I wish Governor Chen a long and prosperous life for generations to come!"

The old man immediately knelt down in front of Chen Kai, praising loudly and kowtowing in salute, even sobbing in his voice.

"This is what I should do. The old man must never do this. He must never do this."

With that said, Chen Kai stretched out his hand to help, but the old man refused to get up. At this moment, the people who noticed the situation also put down what they were doing and rushed over like a tide.
