Hearing Xu Gang's words, Qin He, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned his eyes to the third aunt beside him.
"Third aunt, how are you doing with the things I asked you to prepare these days?"
As soon as San Gu heard Qin He's words, she immediately spoke.
"Since I promise to do everything beautifully, I will definitely live up to your expectations, Brother Qin."
"I have sent people to the Western Regions these days. Those women from the Western Regions are really beautiful!"
Speaking of this, even the third aunt praised the woman from the Western Region.
"It will still take some time, but this time is just enough for us to get a few more flower boats at sea."
After hearing what Sangu said, Qin He nodded with satisfaction and then continued to speak.
"You must do this well. It's up to you whether those women from the Western Regions need to be taught when they are brought back!"
"Our next target is those high-ranking officials who are accustomed to eating rations from the Central Plains. If we can serve those guys well, then our interests will be greatly improved."
Hearing Qin He's words, the smile on Sangu's face became even more intense, and she quickly patted her chest and promised.
"Brother Qin, just rest assured! My third aunt will definitely do this properly."
With Sangu's assurance, Qin He did not continue to say more on this issue. Instead, he turned his attention to Xie Yuan and asked.
"Have the accommodation and work arrangements for the refugees been completely settled now?"
Xie Yuan smiled rarely when he heard this and whispered.
"I naturally don't dare to be careless about the things that have been handed down."
"Everything has been settled. There are now more than 3,000 refugees in Qinghe City."
"Two-thirds of them are old, weak, women and children, and one-third are young and strong."
"The old, weak, women and children are all assigned to positions that require little physical exertion. As for the young and middle-aged, you need to ask Li Yang."
Xie Yuan, who had been depressed for nearly half a month since returning from the capital, cheered up again.
Regarding the death of his younger brother, he also completely came out of the haze.
Now he is working for Qin He wholeheartedly.
The conversation turned to Li Yang, who stood up and faced Qin He and spoke.
"Brother Qin, what you asked me to do is almost over. Although those refugees have only trained for a month, I have to say that the men from the north are not weak."
"Not only are they tall and powerful, but they are also very violent! Even if one person faces two or three Japanese pirates, he is not afraid at all."
After hearing what Li Yang said, Qin He nodded reluctantly.
"I need to trouble you to continue with the next training. After all, this will become a powerful force in our hands."
Li Yang also nodded when he heard this.
"Don't worry! Brother Qin, I will naturally take care of the things you arranged."
After receiving Li Yang's affirmative reply, Qin He just turned his attention to Xu Gang.
"Xu Gang, I have some things to do next."
When Xu Gang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Before Qin He could say anything about the specific matter, he had already patted his chest and promised in advance.
"Brother Qin, if you have anything to do, just explain it to me. If Xu Gang can't do it for me, I'll come to see you with my head on my sleeve!"
Upon hearing Xu Gang's words, Qin He couldn't help but smile and quickly interrupted.
"Okay, you kid, don't say these words here. The things I entrust you with are a bit dangerous, but if you do it well, it will naturally benefit you."
When Xu Gang heard this, he was obviously unhappy and said immediately.
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about? As long as I can follow you to do things, brothers who are good or bad will naturally see it! You are too outspoken to say this!"
Qin He didn't bother to argue with Xu Gang about this issue and spoke directly.
"In the next few days, I want you to cooperate with the Japanese pirates to help me create some things at sea."
"Any merchant ship you encounter on the sea will be hijacked by me, especially those from wealthy families!"
"They can lose as much as they want, but remember that one thing must not be done as a last resort and cannot harm other people's lives."
Xu Gang nodded quickly when he heard this.
Speaking of this, Qin He turned his eyes to Li Yang again and continued.
"And Li Yang, you took the trained militiamen to the sea and waited for Xu Gang and others to hijack them before going up to rescue them."
"I have only one purpose, which is to make those people from well-established families be grateful to us."
Upon hearing this, Li Yang naturally understood Qin He's purpose of doing this, and immediately nodded with a smile.
After giving instructions on everything, Qin He fished out of the river bottom and returned to his residence.
Although Qin He's wealth is no longer what it was back then, he still lives in the small courtyard he bought before.
It wasn't that Qin He was unwilling to change places, but that it was not necessary.
In fact, Qin He still had reservations about what he said in Hedilao.
That is why he asked Li Yang to take this opportunity to find out whether the Xie family was involved in maritime trade?
Of course, the figure referred to here is not whether they have maritime trade, but those illegal activities.
The reason why he didn't tell everyone about this was not because he didn't believe the people present.
If you don't believe him, you won't tell these things openly in front of everyone.
But I just want Li Yang to handle this matter alone.
Now Qin He was the only one back at his residence. Because Xie Yuan still needed to arrange manpower, he was too busy to keep his feet off the ground.
After everything was arranged, Qin He was the most relaxed.
Now the governor's mansion has also changed people.
The person who moved into the Prefect's Mansion was none other than Chen Guotai.
After nearly a month of depression, Chen Guotai also came out of his depression.
Although he is still silently looking for opportunities, it does not mean that he is as inactive as he was in Southern Xinjiang City.
On the contrary, Chen Guotai is obviously different today.
No matter in terms of behavior or some habits, he can no longer look like the cool-hearted county magistrate he once was.
Although it cannot be said that the prefect's mansion is prosperous with singing and dancing, Chen Guotai has been frequenting the brothel run by his third aunt since half a month ago.
I don’t know whether he finally got over the painful night of losing his wife, or whether he is still sinking...
Today, Chen Guotai, in addition to getting drunk all day long, does more things that he did not dare to do in Nanjiang City before.
This night.
As usual, Chen Guotai did not return to the prefect's residence until late at night.
But this time, a person was quickly seen outside the gate of the prefect's mansion.
Chen Guotai didn't know this person, but it was easy to tell from his attire that he was not a local from Qinghe Prefecture.
