Seeing Li Tianhe's sudden change of topic, Zhao Qiong knew that the attack on the navy camp was now over.
He spoke out immediately.
"How dare I not take the matters ordered by Mr. Li to heart!"
"When Mr. Li said that, I had already sent people to Nanjiang City. However, the things I investigated during these days were useless, so I did not inform Mr. Li."
When Li Tianhe heard this, his expression changed, and it was no longer the same as before.
"Master Zhao, this matter is not useless just because you think it is useless. Do you know who asked you to investigate?"
Seeing that Li Tianhe's expression suddenly changed like this, Zhao Qiong still didn't realize the problem.
What's more, he doesn't know who asked him to investigate this matter!
Who else could it be if it weren't for the Xie family in Beijing?
At the moment, Zhao Qiong did not dare to continue like this, so he told the things he had investigated one by one.
After listening to what Zhao Qiong said, Li Tianhe's expression softened a little.
Indeed, most of the things investigated are useless things.
But one thing caught Li Tianhe's attention.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Tianhe asked.
"You said that there is a well that is guarded by Qin Kou and others and strictly prohibits outsiders from approaching?"
Zhao Qiong nodded after hearing this.
"The official has sent people to check, but there is nothing surprising about the well..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qiong paused and then added.
"If it's surprising, it may be that the water in that well is so bitter that it is difficult for ordinary people to drink it."
Li Tianhe thought it was nothing when he heard the first words, but when he heard the next words, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Before Zhao Qiong could continue, Li Tianhe interrupted.
"Are you saying that the water in the well is too bitter to be swallowed?"
Zhao Qiong was not annoyed at being interrupted, but nodded.
But seeing Li Tianhe's expression at this moment, he obviously knew there was something extraordinary about the well, but he didn't know it.
Just when Zhao Qiong wanted to ask what was extraordinary about it, Li Tianhe spoke forcefully.
"Tell me the location of the well and I will send someone to check it out."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiong didn't know that he couldn't figure out the reason, but he suppressed his curiosity wisely.
"Yes! I will immediately ask my subordinates to inform Mr. Li of the specific location!"
Hearing this, Li Tianhe's complexion improved a lot.
After briefly talking about some matters, Li Tianhe left the navy camp directly.
Brothel, Tianzi box.
If Chen Guotai had been here back then, he would have found that the Xie family member who came to see him was now sitting on the throne.
And who could it be if it wasn't Li Tianhe under the main seat?
Li Tianhe, who had looked majestic in the navy camp just now, now looked particularly respectful.
He didn't even dare to look at the person above the main seat.
It wasn't until the person above him spoke that Li Tianhe dared to look up.
"Master Li, what do you think is wrong with that well?"
Seeing the person above asking, Li Tianhe also expressed his suspicion.
"In my opinion, that well is most likely a salt well."
After a pause, Li Tianhe continued.
"Previously, Qin Kou was secretly selling private salt. It is very possible that this will happen. Otherwise, how could he be strictly guarded!"
The man above heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
"Does Mr. Li know how to do this?"
How could Li Tianhe not understand the meaning of these words, but when he thought that this matter involved personal relationships, he still felt a little worried.
But facing the Xie family, he had no other choice but to nod.
"Know!"
"Since you know, then do it, but... you should know the consequences of this. I hope that no one else will know about it except you, otherwise..."
At this point, the person above did not continue speaking, but the threat in his words was even more obvious.
In this regard, Li Tianhe could only be mute and unable to explain the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
…
Ten days passed in a flash.
These days, the entire East Qindao is very busy.
Not only vigorously building houses, but also focusing on the construction of water conservancy projects.
The fresh water problem that Qin He was worried about before has now been solved.
Qinghe Prefecture is located in the south where there is more rain. Because of this, Qinhe directly mobilized hundreds of people to build a reservoir.
At the moment, the reservoir is not yet complete, but it is beginning to take shape.
The location of the reservoir is at a higher point in East Qindao, making it easy to divert water downwards.
Not only does it solve the problem of fresh water, but it also solves the problem of crop irrigation.
It has been two months since I came to Qindao. Although the rice is not yet mature, some vegetables and fruits have begun to bear fruit.
This also gave the island residents hope, at least the possibility of being self-sufficient and no longer relying on getting it from other places.
In addition, the problem of salt has now been solved.
You must know that there are natural resources that can be used right now.
However, because refining table salt is not allowed by the government, very few people know the refining process.
And Qin He and the others started their business by selling private salt, so how could they not know how to refine it?
The only trouble now is using the tides to bring seawater into the salt pans.
Although the amount of the project is not large, it still requires some manpower.
When the residents of Dongqin Island learned that they had to refine their own salt, everyone was extremely surprised.
But more of it was replaced by joy.
In this world, salt is extremely precious. Now that we know that salt will no longer be a problem in the future, how can we not be happy?
Of course, the good news is not limited to these two.
After ten days of waiting, news finally came from the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Xie family.
According to the news Li Yang received, the Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Xie family will go to sea tomorrow.
With this news, Qin He also asked Li Yang to prepare.
As for Xu Gang, the news had already been brought back.
What Xu Gang didn't expect was that everything that happened in Nanjiang City was exactly as Brother Qin expected.
On the third day after Xu Gang sent people back to Nanjiang City, someone had already put their brine well under strict guard.
As for what he will do next, Xu Gang already knows.
On the fourth day, Xu Gang returned directly to Dong Qin Island and informed Qin He of the incident.
Originally Xu Gang thought Brother Qin would take action, but in the end he got a sentence.
Wait first.
At this moment, Xu Gang didn't know what Brother Qin was thinking.
But seeing Brother Qin's confident look, Xu Gang didn't think much about it.
After all, Brother Qin is now a god in his heart.
Since Brother Qin has already said this, it is enough to just wait.
