Time flies quickly, and it has been a month since Sean became a viscount.

The inhabitants of Vichy grew acquainted with him, and their natural fear of the nobility remained, but they no longer met to talk about him as often.

Needless to say, Sean brought them a windfall benefit of tax cuts, and what made residents grateful to him was a major event that happened in mid-November of this year.

While napping that day, Sean had a strange dream:

The earth is about to be hit by a huge planet, and mankind has to organize a space fleet to escape into space, he was ordered to pilot the first huge spaceship Dragon Boat One, set off first, and just left the solar system to find that the earth has been destroyed in advance.

Wandering in space, the scientists and astronauts, mainly Chinese, in the spaceship had to rely on genetic recombination technology to create the continuation of life, and finally after endless wandering, they discovered a planet similar to the earth.

By this time, those early scientists and astronauts had been dead for generations.

In order for the descendants to survive there, these lucky descendants were not skilled in their studies and accidentally created some aliens, and at this time, the spaceship, which could no longer support it, finally made a forced landing on this planet......

Sean, who was lying under the banyan tree, woke up in a cold sweat.

He sat up, feeling dizzy in his head.

"My lord, there has been an earthquake!"

Nelson's voice rang out not far away.

Sean suddenly came to his senses.

The great earthquake that struck at dusk that day killed seven people and injured dozens more in the town of Vichy alone.

While they were grieving, Sean ordered his escort to use rifles to drive them to his tea plantation.

Because Sean guessed that the epicenter was offshore, he feared that the earthquake would trigger a terrible tsunami, and that his tea plantation was located relatively high and was unlikely to be flooded.

So he sent people to inform the nearby towns, including the Robinson family, and had people ride horses to Poitu to report his suspicions.

Time was of the essence, and what would happen elsewhere was something that Sean could not control or reach, but it was impossible not to make the inhabitants of Vichy complain.

Sean had to promise to take on the relief work, and that every resident who left his home would be rewarded with a gold louis.

I don't know if it was the rifle in the hands of Nelson and others that played a role, or the power of money, the residents immediately bowed their heads and obeyed.

Mayor Pierre scoffed at Sean's speculation, but instead of showing it, he tried hard, and he let his only two vigilantes join in and obey Sean's command.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sound of the waves was getting louder and louder on the beach, and the sound of the waves made everyone nervous.

As seaside residents, they are accustomed to hearing the sound of the waves and have experienced several typhoons every year, but this is the first time they have heard of the sound of a tsunami.

The first waves crashed onto the shoreline and into the town. Then, the second wave of the sea, carrying huge energy, rushed towards the shore.

Thereafter, every few minutes there was a new wave.

In the night, the inhabitants stood on the high ground, and by the moonlight, their faces turned pale, and they saw only the vague homes drowning in the monstrous waves.

Homes were washed away and houses collapsed.

People wept bitterly, but many more rejoiced.

Because of the aftershocks, it wasn't until noon the next day that Sean allowed the townsfolk to return to their homes.

Mayor Pierre had not yet recovered from his shock, and the sound of the waves still echoed in his mind.

But he knew that Sean had saved the whole town, including himself.

The rose garden is on higher ground, but it is still baptized by the sea, and the upstairs is fine, the furniture on the first floor is soaked in water, but the house is still sturdy and has not been seriously damaged.

Looking at the mess in the courtyard, Sean laughed at himself: "It seems that I still have to renovate again, and the Lake brothers want to make me a sum of money again." ”

"My lord, little Lake has unfortunately broken his leg, and I'm afraid he won't be able to make your money. Pierre Dao.

"Oh!" said Sean, "and whoever has a good craft, the mayor has someone to recommend." ”

Pierre thought for a moment and said, "I think every townsman would be willing to serve you for free. ”

"Very well!" Sean nodded, "but there is an urgent matter right now, and I need the mayor to do it for me, no, for all the townspeople." ”

"Your Excellency, please. "Pierre is very well-behaved now.

"Immediately send people to Poitu to grab the goods, food, cloth, tents, medicine, and especially food. You mobilize the townsfolk right away, and I'll send my escort to follow, and they'll bring their rifles and the money they need to buy. This matter should be fast, and it can be expected that the materials in the world will soon become scarce. If the road is blocked, you will carry the supplies back on your shoulders. ”

Pierre's brain is not stupid, and Sean's reminder wakes him up.

"My lord, please rest assured, I will do it right away!"

The catastrophe was even more tragic than Sean had expected.

Pierre himself marched to Poitou with all the able-bodied men in the town, three hundred men, under the protection of the armed guards of Viscount Connery.

As soon as they left the town, they had to abandon the carriage because the roads had been completely destroyed, the bridges had been destroyed in the earthquake, and last night's tsunami had made matters worse.

There were dead bodies everywhere, and some entire villages were silent and lifeless. Witnessing these tragic events, the townspeople could hardly express their gratitude to Viscount Connelly in words.

I finally got to the city, and the situation in the city was slightly better, but there were collapsed houses everywhere, and there were heavy casualties.

People in the city are frantically grabbing supplies, and grain stores are sitting on the ground and hoarding.

Pierre and others relied on the strength of the crowd, coupled with the murderous spirit of Nelson and others, and finally "robbed" enough supplies, and also spent all the five thousand gold Louis that Sean had advanced, and according to Sean's request, Nelson "kidnapped" a doctor by the way.

It was late at night when the supplies were brought back to the town, and everyone was exhausted, but everyone was in high spirits, and nothing was more reassuring than food.

Pierre saw that the townspeople were quietly staying in the open area designated by Sean, and followed the instructions of the Cleveland butler to save themselves. Although the townspeople are grieving the loss of their homes and even their loved ones, they are generally emotionally stable.

There is no harm in comparison, and for the first time Pierre was proud to be a member of Vichy compared to the other towns and villages, and even the miserable situation in the city.

Sean had Cleveland register the supplies and make them visible to all the residents, which greatly lifted their spirits.

Only then did the Robinson family send people to express their condolences and thanks, and they said that although some of the people did not heed the dissuasion, most of the casualties were reduced, and they "only" died seventy.

The Countess made a point of saying that if the town of Vichy was short of food, the Robinson family could provide some support.

Sean expressed his gratitude and reminded him to pay attention to epidemic prevention after the disaster, and asked someone to bring back a copy of his temporary regulations. The Emissary of the Robinson family was grateful.

In the days that followed, Sean received more news of the damage, with nearly 100,000 people killed in the earthquake and tsunami along the entire Genoa coast alone.

There were heavy casualties, and wails were heard everywhere.

However, what is even more terrifying is the epidemic, Sean also gave the governor a copy of the simple epidemic prevention manual he compiled, as for whether the governor paid attention to it, he couldn't care so much, in short, it took two days for Sean to learn the news that the epidemic began to appear.

Sean decisively ordered people to guard the entrance and exit to Vichy Town, making Vichy Town an island-like existence.

Even the governor's messenger had to come by sea.

The poor messenger was detained by the militia on the beach, first stripped naked by harpooning, then doused with a cold heart, smeared with a white powder that stinged his skin, rinsed off, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and held in solitary confinement for two days before being allowed to see Sean.

It was two weeks after the disaster, and the messenger found that the inhabitants of Vichy had recovered from the grief of the disaster, and that the residents of the town were in a stable mood and were working together to help rebuild their houses from house to house.

The messenger even heard the long-lost laughter.

"Viscount Connery, allow me, on behalf of His Excellency the Governor, to express my respects and sincere thanks to you!" said the Courier with a delightful and sincere acknowledgment at the sight of Sean.

"How's the city going?" asked Sean with concern.

"Your Excellency the Governor has greatly stopped the spread of the disease according to your reminders and the epidemic prevention manual, and you have survived countless lives!" replied the messenger.

"I'm afraid it's been a lot of delay, right?" Sean didn't believe it.

The messenger expression confirmed Sean's guess.

"Your Excellency, you know, cremating the dead is not a tradition. Tradition was always stubborn, and the isolation of the sick, especially in the homes of the privileged, had to be forcefully suppressed by the Governor's patrol to enforce the anti-epidemic regulations, which, he believed, were at least 50,000 fewer deaths. The messenger said.

"So, you're just here to express your Governor's gratitude?" asked Sean.

"Your Excellency the Governor asks the Viscount if he would like to share some of the pressure on Poitou?" the Courier cautiously tested.

"What does he need me to do?" Sean chuckled, "donating?"

"In view of your great ability, Your Excellency asks if your Excellency can help manage all the victims west of Poitou to the town of Vichy?" the messenger asked.

"Your Excellency!" exclaimed Pierre and Cleveland, who were standing on the side.

"If he can provide food, I can contribute a little bit of my part. Sean said, "You know, the hungry people will devour everything. ”

Sean's words made both Pierre and Cleveland breathe a sigh of relief.

"The governor has sent people to neighboring provinces to buy grain, and the imperial court will also send people to send grain, but ......"

"But it takes time to raise, doesn't it?" Shawn interrupted.

"That's true, but ......," the courier nodded in acknowledgement. Just listen to Sean:

"The Robinsons are wealthy, they should have a lot of grain in stock, and if the Governor is willing to pay a reasonable price, the Robinsons should sell a grain in limited quantities. You see, they have also suffered a plague, and Heaven is fair to all, whether they are nobles or commoners. ”

The messenger was overjoyed: "This is a feasible solution, and I will go back immediately." May I suppose that you are willing to take over the victims of Sipuitu, and that the Governor will appoint you plenipotentiary of the Doge's House and sheriff of Sipuitu. ”

Sean nodded.

Looking at the messenger's hurried back, he turned back to Pierre and Cleveland:

"I seem to have forgotten to ask how many victims there will be. ”
