After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 271 I am willing to follow you all the time

It was the end of the first hour when Yao Guangzhi and the first group of people arrived at the coast of Nancheng, which was brightly lit with flames.

Long fires lit up the coast.

Yao Guangzhi looked towards the brightest and largest fire, and immediately saw Lei Dahong who was sitting next to the bright fire.

Yao Guangzhi shouted loudly: "Lei Dahong."

Lei Dahong quickly stood up, holding up the torch and standing on the shore.

After the boat docked, Yao Guangzhi was the first to get off.

Lei Dahong glanced behind Yao Guangzhi and asked, "Where is the master?"

"He's still on the island. He's going to be the last one to leave. What's the situation on your end?"

"I followed your instructions and asked the governor of Huishui to borrow troops. He readily lent me 20,000 troops, which is more than the 15,000 you requested.

We arrived yesterday."

"Didn't the Southern City Governor send troops to besiege you?"

"I don't know if it's because they didn't arrive in time, or because they saw the situation was exposed and they didn't dare to send more troops, but up to now no army has come to besiege us."

"There are more than 4,000 people arriving this time. Let's escort them back to Huishui first."

"Okay, you escort them out of South City, I'll wait here for you, sir."

……

Ye Wuwei took a nap on the coast, and at noon the next day he welcomed five returning ships.

Seeing that the boat had indeed returned, the people on the shore cheered loudly.

Ye Wuwei asked about the situation on the south coast of the city and felt relieved when he learned that the governor of Huishui had sent 20,000 troops.

If this is the case, it means that the Huishui governor was not involved in the case and at most knew about it but did not report it.

And the fact that he was willing to quickly borrow 20,000 troops this time was enough to make up for his mistake.

After the ship had traveled back and forth on the sea six times, only the last 3800 people were left on the island. At this time, Ye Wuwei was actually more nervous than before.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. At the hour of Xu on the third day, Ye Wuwei saw five ships returning.

Only then did Ye Wuwei's heart finally settle down.

This was the first large-scale mission that Ye Wuwei had organized and led since coming to Qi Dynasty. He had been very confident in his ability to complete the task independently, but he was not so confident in his organizational and leadership abilities.

But after this action, Ye Wuwei believed that as long as he was careful enough, he could lead the Qi'an tribe to achieve results.

Ye Hongxia was well aware of Ye Wuwei's previous nervousness, and now seeing him relax, she smiled and said:

"I was able to become a captain and lead troops in battle at a young age. You are smarter and more thoughtful than me. As long as you cultivate a few more capable confidants and don't do everything yourself, you can do it."

Hearing Ye Hongxia say this, Ye Wuwei said: "Thank you very much."

"I can't help it. I owed you before."

……

At the next morning at midnight, five ships docked at the coast of South City.

Ye Wuwei saw Lei Dahong standing on the shore holding a torch from afar.

Thinking of what Ye Hongxia said about "cultivating capable confidants", Ye Wuwei thought to himself: This is one of them.

After the boat docked, Lei Dahong waited by the gangway.

As soon as Ye Wuwei got off the boat, Lei Dahong came forward and shouted, "Sir."

Ye Wuwei nodded to Lei Dahong, "How is the situation?"

"The civilians who reached the shore were escorted back to the river by the soldiers who returned. Now there are still 4,000 soldiers left here to escort the last batch of civilians."

"Are there any people who don't want to go back to the water?"

"Originally, some residents of Nancheng wanted to stay there. I advised them to follow us to Huishui first and return to Nancheng after the situation became clearer. So they followed us to Huishui."

"Well, you did a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"If I ask you to follow me forever, would you be willing?"

"I am willing to follow you all the time."

"But after following me, you won't have time to prepare for the scientific examination. Don't you regret it?"

"Whether it's taking the imperial examinations or serving as an official, I'm working for the court and the people. I'm willing to follow you."

When Lei Dahong first agreed to come to the Qi'an tribe, he considered the salary factor, but after following Ye Wuwei on this trip to Nancheng, Lei Dahong was willing to follow Ye Wuwei.

Because he realized:

If the Qi Dynasty wants to achieve prosperity, the most urgent thing is to weaken the power of the aristocratic families first.

Only after weakening the power of the aristocratic families can the imperial court's policies be implemented smoothly, the national treasury be filled, and then more things that benefit the people's livelihood can be done.

What Ye Wuwei did was to clear out the power of the aristocratic families for the imperial court.

Of course, there is another reason:

What Lei Dahong can learn from Ye Wuwei is richer, more practical and more advanced than the knowledge he learns from books.
