On July 25, 1874, it was a very ordinary day. The weather was very cool in Ryukyu, and many fishing boats were rushing back on the sea in the distance!

Experienced fishermen know that it is definitely abnormal to suddenly blew cool breezes this month. There are many typhoons in summer, and this season is the season when typhoons are frequent!

Sure enough, at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a dark cloud came from the Pacific Ocean, and the wind speed on Ryukyu Island began to increase.

To be honest, the Ryukyu Islands are not a place suitable for the development of agricultural industry. They are beautiful and rich in scenery, but the climate is abnormal.

The hot and humid summer is full of typhoons, which is a big trouble for agricultural and industrial production!

If the Qing Dynasty had not been too severely blocked, Xiao Letian would have no choice but to use Ryukyu as a springboard and as the main base for business.

Why is Ryukyu the base of the Chinese people? But many heavy industries have to be transferred to Tanggu and Jiangnan Industrial Zone? It is because of the influence of the natural environment.

In the future of Ryukyu, Xiao Letian should position him as the center of humanities and education, ranking among the top three in the shipbuilding industry and the tourism industry!

Therefore, in Ryukyu, the most invested in education, shipbuilding, ship repair and other industries, and other industries have long had plans to migrate to the mainland.

Just wait until the walls of those industrial areas are built and the safety is improved!

However, Ryukyu is the birthplace of the Chinese Code and the place where the Chinese people prosper. It will never be able to escape the position of the first capital in the future!

The rain outside the window began to fall, which was the verge of the typhoon spinning. Xiao Letian leaned against the window smoking a cigarette, and a faint worry arose in his heart.

"How many typhoons are this year?" Xiao Letian asked casually.

"This is the fourth time!" Xiang Ying was sending documents over. He hurriedly replied when he heard the inquiry. He was a navy general and all the information on the sea must be kept in mind.

"How are the materials prepared?"

"Everything is ready. The reserved typhoon defense materials are more than twice as many as in previous years..."

"I'm not asking the military, I'm asking the civilians!" Xiao Letian interrupted him.

Xiang Ying was stunned for a moment, "Ah... I don't have specific data among the people, but I heard from Lord Xiao Hexin that even if you have one or two more typhoons this year than last year, you are not afraid of it. It should be sufficient!"

"That's good, that's good..." Xiao Letian pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ryukyu was no longer the way it was when Shimazu family occupied it. At that time, Ryukyu City was almost all recommended wooden houses and straw sheds. Once a typhoon was encountered, it could not resist it. He could only burn incense and pray to God to leave one or two tiles.

After years of development, Xiao Letian began to popularize reinforced concrete technology in the people. Any house that rich people started to build was much stronger than in the past!

As for poor families, it doesn’t matter if they can’t afford such a house. The Chinese people forcefully implement housing insurance. As long as you pay a small amount of money every year, people will compensate you if you encounter natural disasters such as houses, water, fire, and earthquakes in the future!

"Oh my god, the right to survival is greater than all rights... Xiang Ying, you must remember it and remember it firmly!"

"Yes! Master!" Xiang Ying replied respectfully.

The sky quickly became dark. It was only a little over five o'clock and the whole day was like a pot being put on. The sun could not be projected at all, and the gas lights on the street were lit up early!

The gas lamps of these cast iron pipes are very strong, and even the glowing glass lampshades are protected by cast iron railings. Under the erosion of strong winds and rains, these lights form the outline of the street, which stubbornly marks the appearance of the city.

In front of Xiao Letian, the ships at Naba Port became swaying in the light and shadows. The signal lights on the ships went out and began to shake left and right. You could even see the ships in a certain place colliding together and the disaster of overturning occurred.

From time to time, there were crackling sounds from the back mountain of the head of state. It was the sound of the towering ancient tree being broken by a typhoon!

The wind was getting heavier and heavier. By six o'clock, the heavy rain in the sky was not falling but pouring down like a waterfall. The windows were blown by the wind, and the hard mahogany window lattices and iron bars were reinforced, as if they could not resist the wind.

The rain just poured on the window, and nothing outside could be seen!

At this moment, the power of heaven and earth is shocking. Even the people in the head of state built with huge sums of money felt the storm. It is conceivable how hard the Naba city will be tossed today!

"I don't worry about the rich areas. I'm afraid there will be problems with the slums... The house is too simple, especially the wooden houses in Fusang cannot withstand such winds..."

"Xiang Ying, remember, when the typhoon passes, your navy will be the first to set out to rescue the disaster!"

"In the thousands of years of history of mankind, this army actually has no good reputation. This bad habit needs to be changed from our side!"

Crack! Crack! A sound of lightning flashed in the sky, and the lights of the candles and kerosene lamps in the room were swallowed up in an instant!

Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang...bang bang...

At first, Xiao Letian didn't pay attention to what happened. He thought it was the sound of a typhoon slamming the window, but Xiang Ying in the room was stunned, "Someone knocked on the door? Who..."

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound. A white light flashed through the lightning and thunder, a figure like a female ghost suddenly appeared, which scared Xiao Letian to tremble.

"Ah! Hu Niu... why are you... you come?"

There are not many Chinese people who can enter the office area of ​​the front building of the Head of State, directly enter Xiao Letian's office, and run in front of the guards.

Of course Mrs. Tiger has this privilege!

Hu Niu was wet with water, followed by Ah Chou and Qingwen, behind her were four female soldiers from the back house, all of whom were fished out from the water.

"What are you doing? Come in quickly... Take a dry towel and wipe it! God, you ran directly from the back house? You are desperate, it's such a strong wind!"

Hu Niu completely ignored Xiao Letian's care. At the moment when the lightning flashed, Hu Niu raised her hand and slapped her in the face!

A bang, it was so loud! Xiao Letian was so confused that he slapped Xiao Letian with a few words of "You..."

Hu Niu yelled, "Xiao Letian, you have committed a crime! Are you going to kill our sisters? Sister Fuhui has already fallen into a coma with anger, and she doesn't know how to live or die. The back house is completely in chaos at this moment!"

"Do you want us to live? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

"You have committed sins and let us women bear the consequences. You are shameless!"

"Do you still let us live?"

Xiao Letian yelled anxiously, "You... you have to tell me what happened if you hit me? What's the joke about the big pig's hooves? What's wrong with me..."

Qingwen burst into tears, "You go and see it yourself! The vixen that the Tartars gave you... poisoned us in the inner house, and they want to poison us alive!"

Ah! Xiao Letian shouted, ran to the back house. Xiang Ying was so scared that he chased after him, "Protect the Head of State! Beware of the typhoon..."
Chapter completed!
