Chapter 230 Buying Flammable Items
Seeing Xusheng honestly come down, Chen Zheng spoke and said, "You must remember that life is precious, and safety is the first priority at all times."
"I understand, Brother Chen." Xu Sheng agreed.
Chen Zheng didn't know whether Xu Sheng really understood or pretended to understand, but this didn't matter anymore.
What’s important is that Xu Sheng can listen to himself, that’s enough.
In this era, people generally don’t care much about life.
Some people don’t care much about their own lives, while others don’t care much about other people’s lives.
Some people dare to take risks and put themselves in danger in order to have a full meal tomorrow.
There are also some people who do not care about the lives of others for themselves or for certain purposes.
Just like Yu Qizheng just now, his mission or purpose was to protect the prince. Even if Dongyang County was slaughtered by the siege, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him.
Chen Zheng is different. His experience and education are not allowed to ignore life, even if this life is very low in this era.
Therefore, Chen Zheng formulated a plan for pirate invasion, with the purpose of ensuring the safety of the lives of the people in Dongyang County to the greatest extent.
For example, Xu Sheng's parents met pirates when they went to sea and were killed.
At that time, Xu Sheng was just twelve or thirteen years old, and his sister Shanshan was only five or six years old. Two little babies were only able to grow up with the help of the people on the island.
Chen Zheng didn't want to see that children lost their parents; elderly people lost their sons; young daughter-in-law lost their husbands, which made others cheaper.
After patting Xusheng on the shoulder, Chen Zheng sighed, "Don't just keep silent, just die. Think about your sister, what should she do if you die?"
After saying this, Xu Sheng understood and nodded, "Brother Chen is right, what should I do?"
"Your mission is very important!" Chen Zheng said.
Seeing that Chen Zheng was solemn, Xusheng did not dare to neglect, so he stood up quickly and listened attentively.
Chen Zheng said to Xusheng: "You are the last link. If you want to take revenge, you must calm down."
As soon as he heard that he could take revenge, Xu Sheng became energetic and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I won't be impulsive anymore."
Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Do you have a small raft besides the sea boat?"
"Little raft?" Xu Sheng was stunned, "I really don't have a small raft here."
Chen Zheng frowned and said, "I heard that many of you Coral Island people have come to settle in Dongyang County?"
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, they heard that life here is very good, and they basically moved here."
"That's great. Today I will organize them to make small rafts, the more the better!" Chen Zheng said, "Money is not a problem, I will buy the rafts."
People on Coral Island have grown up by the sea since childhood and have no other skills, so they are quite capable of doing raft fishing.
Xu Sheng couldn't figure it out and asked, "Brother Chen, what's the purpose of making a small raft?"
"Didn't you tell you just now? I want to use fire attack tactics to deal with the siege." Chen Zhengdao.
Xu Sheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chen, I only know how to fish, but I don't know how to march and fight. I don't understand the fire attack plan you said."
"According to my design, after the pirates fail to land on the beach, they will inevitably flee from the port exit. At this time, you will lead a team of people to rush to the side of the pirate's ship on a small raft, then ignite the flammable materials on the raft, ignite their ship, and then burn the escaped pirates to death!" Chen Zheng explained.
Xu Sheng didn't understand very much, but when he heard the burned pirates, he immediately became energetic. He nodded heavily and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, as long as I tell them that they are going to kill the pirates, they will definitely be obliged."
"Tell them that you can, but don't spread the news of the siege invasion, so as not to cause panic." Chen Zheng instructed.
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, the people on our island will not talk nonsense."
Chen Zheng was very relieved about this, so he didn't say anything else. He also had to go to the city to purchase flammable items, such as tinder, tinder cotton, etc.
Seeing that Chen was about to leave, Xu Sheng suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Brother Chen, why didn't he drive the raft over and burn them when the pirates entered the port?"
Chen Zheng turned around, looked at Xu Sheng, and said, "We should despise the enemy strategically, but we should pay attention to the enemy tactical. Although the pirates are mobs, their equipment is quite excellent and very fierce. It is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing oneself."
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "So that's it!"
Chen Zheng took two steps forward, turned around and said to Xu Sheng: "Actually, there is another saying that can explain why they set fire when they fled."
"What a common saying, Brother Chen teaches me." Xu Sheng said modestly.
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "This saying is 'Keep the dog behind closed doors', do you understand?"
"Oh, Brother Chen, you said that earlier, didn't I understand?" Xu Sheng said happily.
"Go quickly, don't delay." Chen Zheng urged.
Seeing Xu Sheng greeting the people from Coral Island, Chen Zheng left the harbor.
I originally wanted to find a car to go back, but it was really hard to find here. Chen Zheng recorded the matter and repelled the pirates. He saw a car dealer in the harbor. At that time, there must be many people renting cars to and from the city and the harbor.
It seems to be another money-making business.
Temporarily putting this profitable business plan in my heart, Chen Zheng returned to Dongyang County one by one.
As soon as he returned to the city, Chen Zheng went to the largest grocery store in the city.
The grocery store is called Baijiahui. When the guy looked up, he saw Chen Zheng coming in. He was shocked. He quickly greeted him and went to the back hall to call out the shopkeeper.
Chen Zheng is now a sensational figure in Dongyang County. Apart from the achievements of disaster relief, his own woodworking workshop is well-known.
Not to mention, he went to Kyoto to pay tribute to the sea whale bones on behalf of Dongyang County. This is someone who has seen the emperor.
Not long after, Liu Yanjun, the shopkeeper of Baijiahui, walked out and bowed to Chen Zheng, "Oh, Master Chen is here, our store is full of glory."
"You are polite to Manager Liu. You have something to do when you come down to Baijiahui." Chen Zheng said straight to the point.
Liu Yanjun nodded and said, "It's rare that Master Chen comes here in person. What do you like about the goods here? Even if you open your mouth, you will be 10% off."
"Then I will thank you, Shopkeeper Liu." Chen Zheng bowed and thanked, "What I need are flammable items such as tinder, cotton, saltpeter, etc. I wonder if Shopkeeper Liu has it here? How many are there?"
