Qin He naturally saw what Liu Qiang was thinking at this moment, and didn't care. He just smiled mysteriously and waved for him to go back and rest.

Early the next morning.

Before Liu Qiang woke up from his sleep, he was roughly pulled out of the bed.

When he opened his eyes and saw that the person who had pulled him up was Xu Gang, he swallowed back the anger he was feeling.

"The sun is shining on your butt, and you're still sleeping here. Don't you know that Brother Qin told you to do something?"

Seeing Xu Gang cursing, Liu Qiang didn't dare to be careless at all. He quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and went directly to the gambling shop where Maw Mian Liu took him yesterday.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the guy with pockmarked six made no further arrangements to follow Liu Qiang.

However, in order to prevent Liu Qiang from escaping immediately after taking the money, Qin He asked the pockmarked sixth and other men to guard outside.

Once something goes wrong with this guy, he will be captured directly.

Liu Qiang naturally had the idea of ​​pocketing the money for himself, but based on his experience in the world during this period, it was not difficult to find that someone was following him, so he quickly gave up the idea.

If he really swallowed the money and left, he would probably be caught back in less than half a day, and by then, his life would have to be decided here.

Since Liu Qiang couldn't escape, he had no choice but to lose money obediently.

Seeing the white money falling into the pocket of the middle-aged woman, Liu Qiang felt so painful.

Another day passed, and Liu Qiang also lost all the ten taels of silver he had to the middle-aged woman.

In the evening, Liu Qiang dragged his tired body back to Qin He's home and found that many people were already sitting in the yard.

At a quick glance, Liu Qiang found that the person sitting there was none other than Xu Gang, a member of the sixth class with a pockmarked face.

When Liu Qiang saw this battle, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

I thought to myself, could it be that I did something wrong?

But then he saw Qin He coming out of the house, and clapped his hands to greet him when he arrived.

"You have done well these past two days. I will have to trouble you to work hard in the next few days."

Liu Qiang was so angry when he heard this!

To be honest, it was a comfortable life in the gambling shop where you could eat, drink, and have people waiting on you. But for a gambler, seeing him lose money makes him feel tired, which is totally beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

Liu Qiang looked at Qin He with a sad face and spoke after a while.

"Brother Qin, we have lost fifteen taels of silver in the past two days! This is money in vain! If it is not fifteen taels of copper coins, don't you feel heartbroken?"

I don't know if it was because he said what was in his heart, but Liu Qiang felt a lot more relaxed.

In fact, not to mention Liu Qiang, even Xu Gang, the pockmarked sixth class member, felt confused for a while, especially when he saw fifteen taels of silver going into someone else's pocket, his heartache was not much less than that of Liu Qiang.

It's just that they were more willing to believe Brother Qin and didn't tell the matter. Now Liu Qiang has revealed the matter.

Several people also set their sights on Qin He, wanting to get answers from him.

However, they only saw Qin He smile mysteriously before speaking.

"You guys don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own arrangements. This money will never be lost in vain."

With Qin He's words, no one said any more.

And when they were called together today, Qin He indeed had something to announce.

Now that Fourth Master Hu has opened up the sales channels, the demand for private salt is no longer the hundreds or thousands of kilograms it used to be.

According to what Fourth Master Hu sent someone to tell him, the amount of private salt needed now has changed from one thousand kilograms to two thousand kilograms, and the time is only one month.

In order to complete the order faster, Qin He wanted to gather everyone together to discuss how to increase production capacity next.

If you want to increase production capacity, you will naturally need to add more manpower. In fact, it is not difficult to add more manpower now.

There are many young people from Zheng Mingyang on the mountain who can come over and help them solve their current urgent needs.

However, this is just to solve the immediate problem. What Qin He wants is to let Xu Gang, Mian Lian Liu and others find more reliable people.

This way, I won't have to rush to find someone when I give birth next time.

If you pull people here at will, you will be in big trouble if they are unreliable.

Several people nodded when they heard this.

Xu Gang and Ma Mianliu quickly said that they would handle the matter well, and they would also pay attention to some reliable people during this period.

After the explanation was completed, Qin He asked everyone to leave.

Before leaving, Qin He took out another twenty taels of silver and handed it to Liu Qiang.

Seeing another twenty taels of silver falling into his hands, Liu Qiang's face was uglier than crying, and he said helplessly to Brother Qin.

"Brother Qin, can we lose less?"

When Qin He saw this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"It's not your money that's been lost. Why are you heartbroken?"

For a moment, Liu Qiang didn't know what to say.

The next morning.

Without Xu Gang calling him, Liu Qiang climbed out of bed early and headed to the gambling house alone.

Because he lost fifteen taels of silver in two consecutive days, everyone in the gambling house also knew Liu Qiang.

Seeing Liu Qiang's arrival, many people came up to chat with him, and many people also made fun of him.

"Hey, the pretty boy is here again today. How much do you plan to lose today?"

Hearing someone making fun of him like this, Liu Qiang couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If it weren't for Qin He's instructions, who here would be able to win a penny from him at the gambling table?

Forced a smile, Liu Qiang pretended not to care and said to the person who spoke.

"Master, I can afford to lose."

Everyone smiled after hearing this.

They don't know whether they can afford to lose or not, but if they keep losing like this, even those who run a bank at home can't bear it.

However, the strange thing is that although the boy named Liu says he loses money every day, he always loses to the same person.

That is the eldest lady in the Yamen!

For this situation, everyone can only attribute it to the good luck of the yamenli lady.

I had no idea that all this was done deliberately.

The lady in the Yamen also arrived early as usual. Seeing Liu Qiang appear, her face was full of smiles, and she waved her hand and shouted to Liu Qiang.

"Brother, come here quickly, there is a place here!"

Even though Pockmarked Six did not tell him the identity of the middle-aged woman in front of him, after two days of getting along, Liu Qiang had already learned that the identity of the middle-aged woman in front of him was the eldest lady of the yamen.

After learning the news, Liu Qiang vaguely felt that Brother Qin was planning something big.
