Chapter 17 The Triumph Return
Yu Huatian looked around with her feminine eyes.

"Send the order to surrender and not kill!"

At this time, more than half of the pirates had been killed or injured, and about a small number of them were still struggling to persevere.

The trapped camp surrounded and killed them in a hurry, while the city guards became fierce, clenching their spears and stabbing them at the pirates.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

The soldiers who were trapped in the camp kept shouting.

When the pirates heard that they surrendered and did not kill, their will to resist weakened a bit, and they threw down their weapons and squatted on the ground.

Shanhai County Yazhong.

Zheng Ming sat in the lobby, his heart pounding.

Although he has confidence in Yuhuatian and the trapped camp, he is still a little worried in his heart.

"Your Highness, Your Highness~~"

Suddenly, Xiao Fuzi eagerly ran into the lobby.

"How's it going?" Zheng Ming asked immediately.

Xiao Fuzi panted and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yu and General Gao are back, and they brought back a lot of pirates."

After a while, Yu Huatian and Gao Shun came to the lobby, and when they saw Zheng Ming, they immediately said, "Meet Your Highness."

"It's been hard work!" Zheng Ming finally let go of his dangling heart when he saw that they were intact.

"How many casualties did the soldiers have?"

Gao Shun replied: "Returning to Your Highness, three people were killed in the camp and more than 37 people were injured. The city guards killed [-] people and wounded more than a hundred."

Zheng Ming immediately smiled when he heard the words.

He did not expect the casualties to be so small.

"The soldiers who died in the battle must be buried, and the pensions must be sent to their relatives, and all the reward money must be distributed. General Gao, you are responsible for this matter." He instructed.

"The last will obey!" Gao Shun responded immediately.

Yu Huatian said: "Your Highness, the pirates are gone, do you want to go to Fuhai Island?"

Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows.

Fuhai Island is definitely going. These pirates have been entrenched in Fuhai Island for decades, and the wealth of robbery is unknown. If they don't go, it will be a waste.

"Can I go?" he asked.

Yu Huatian said: "The servant has left more than 200 pirates behind. Let him send us to Fuhai Island."

Zheng Ming smiled and said, "It seems that you have already made up your mind. Go ahead then."

"As for Fuhai Island~~"

He pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, then said, "No more."

As the nearest island to Shanhai County, Fuhai Island is of great significance to Shanhai County.

But there are many other pirates in the Luoyu Archipelago. Once the ghost head shark dies, these pirates will definitely covet Fuhai Island.

He has no navy in his hand, and the only one who can fight is the trapped camp. If he divides his troops to guard the blessed island, it will cause the troops to be tense, so he might as well give up temporarily.

……

The news that the ghost head shark pirates were exterminated quickly spread throughout Shanhai County.

When they first heard the news, many people didn't believe it, thinking it was fake.

But when many people saw the captured pirates, they had to believe it.

Immediately, they ran around to tell each other, and they were very happy. Many people even came to the county government to pay their respects to Zheng Ming.

They were just outside the county government office, kneeling in front of the county government office.

Compared with Zhao Song and Liu Sanjia, they hated pirates even more.

Although Zhao, Song, Liu Sanjia squeezed them, they rarely killed people. At most, they made them tenants. But pirates were different. Pirates often killed them, and often captured their relatives as cannon fodder.

Over the decades, tens of thousands of people have been killed or captured by pirates, how can they not hate these pirates.

Zheng Ming looked at the crowd gathered outside through the gate of the county government, with a faint smile on his face.

"People's hearts are available!"

"His Royal Highness is kind, and it is to be expected that the people love him." Lu Shou stroked his beard and smiled.

Zheng Ming shrugged, turned and walked towards the backyard, asking, "Have the household registration been counted?"

"The statistics have been completed. The 320 villages under Shanhai County have all been counted, with a total population of 340." Lu Shou said.

"Less than 100,000 people!" Zheng Ming said with some disappointment.

Lu Shou said again: "Your Highness, if you count the mountain people in the mountains, the population should reach around 200,000."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly and said, "The pirates have been destroyed, and now it's time to clean up these cottages. This king has only one request. The owner of the village must be changed into a village order, and he must obey the county government's decree. If he doesn't obey, he will send troops to attack. "

Without pirates, the only remaining disasters in Shanhai County are those cottages.

As long as all these cottages are taken down, Shanhai County will no longer be the source of chaos in a short period of time.

By then, Zheng Ming will be able to develop in peace.

"The lower official obeys." Lu Shou replied solemnly.

Zheng Ming walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, and asked, "Is there enough supplies in the city?"

There are many resources in Shanhai County, but they are not complete, and many things need to be purchased from the outside world.

In the past, the three families of Zhao, Song and Liu had a special caravan to go to Beibianfu, but now the three families of Zhao, Song and Liu have been destroyed, the caravan has also been disbanded, and many materials cannot be purchased.

Speaking of this, Lu Shou's expression became solemn, and he said, "cloth, sugar, ink, paper, inkstone and other items are all out of stock, and many merchants have stopped selling them."

"In addition, there is not much iron ore. In a few days, the blacksmith responsible for building the armor for the city guards will stop working."

Zheng Ming frowned slightly and said, "Winter is coming soon. You arrange for two caravans to go to Beibianfu and try to purchase all kinds of goods. It is best to find a few partners for long-term cooperation."

"As for iron ore, don't I remember that the Zhao family has an iron ore?"

There are iron mines in Shanhai County, and it is also a large iron mine, as he had heard from Lu Shou before.

"Uh, didn't His Highness say stop mining? He also arranged all the miners to farm in the village." Lu Shou said with his head lowered.

Zheng Ming patted his forehead and finally remembered.

He did arrange this matter. Before, the Zhao family was quite harsh on the miners. He felt it was very inhumane, so he temporarily stopped the mining of the iron ore. As a result, he was too busy these days and forgot about it.

"Wait for Yuhuatian to come back from Fuhai Island in two days, and take those pirates to mine, um, to carry out labor reform. As long as they don't cause trouble, they will be freed after ten years, and they will be registered."

Originally, he wanted to take these pirates to build the road, but now the road is not repaired, and the mining is done first.

"Reform through labor! His Highness's whimsical ideas are admired by the lower officials." Lu Shou's eyes were shining, and he felt that this idea was very good.

Zheng Ming yawned and said, "Go get busy."

Lu Shou said again, "Your Highness, the Zhao family's mansion has been cleaned up."

As the largest wealthy family in Shanhai County, the Zhao family's mansion is very luxurious and exquisite, so Zheng Ming intends to use the Zhao family's mansion as his royal mansion. As for the residences of the Liu and Song families, Zheng Ming's arrangement will be divided, and will be allocated to Shanhai County's mansion in the future. officials.

"Oh, let Xiao Fuzi arrange it. Tomorrow, the king will pass by as usual. It's not a problem to always live in this county office." Zheng Ming said casually.

Lu Shou responded, bowed and stepped back slowly.
