At first, Qin He had no clue about this matter.
But after Li Yang counted all the people, he discovered a problem.
Most of these officers and soldiers now come from the same place.
And this place happens to be a province adjacent to Qinghe Prefecture.
If that were the case, Qin Hedao wouldn't be so happy.
What excites him the most is this province, which is the first place Qinhe plans to capture besides Qinghe Prefecture.
And that guy Liu Qiang went to this province.
Now counting the time, Liu Qiang has been gone for a long time.
Judging from the situation he reported, he has developed his own power there.
Although it is not very powerful now, it is still on the stage.
Just enough to be the beginning of their development.
In fact, Qin He had already made plans from the beginning. Naturally, he could not stay on Dong Qin Island forever.
After all, such a large place itself is not conducive to their development.
What's more, in today's era, the most important thing is human resources.
When the place is small, it is almost impossible to expand one's power.
Now I happened to encounter these officers and soldiers in the camp again. They were all from the neighboring provinces and I happened to deal with them first.
Of course, Qin He did not plan to send troops directly at first.
Once war breaks out, it is the common people who will be harmed in the end.
The reason why Liu Qiang was sent there was to slowly corrupt the government.
Now that we have the foundation stone for development, the past is now the right time.
But before leaving, Qin He had to prepare things in Qinghe Prefecture.
After all, for them, the people they have to support now are no longer the tens of thousands of people under their control.
There are also these officers and soldiers who have just been recruited.
With so many people having to eat, Qin He naturally didn't want to sit back and have nothing to eat.
However, it is already winter now. Although the climate conditions in the south are much better, this does not mean that suitable food can be grown in winter.
So once spring begins, things must be carried out in full swing.
There are still more than a month left until spring begins.
Qinhe's granary is still enough to support the food and clothing of these people now.
But once it is delayed for a long time, it will naturally not work.
For this reason, Qin He has handed over the matter to Xie Yuan.
Of course, after Xie Yuan received the payment from Qin He, he immediately went to prepare for the next spring plowing.
As for the recruited officers and soldiers, Qin He did not let them stay in Qinghe Prefecture, but brought them to an island uniformly.
Of course, Qin He would not keep those who wanted to leave.
In the end, only about 4,000 people actually decided to stay.
Among these people, many already knew everything Qin He had done in Qinghe Prefecture.
After learning that Qin He would do the same thing in their hometown, no one objected.
Because they also long for their families to be able to have enough food and clothing just like the people in Qinghe Prefecture in their hometown.
At the same time, they will not be oppressed by the government.
The reason why they joined the army was not because they voluntarily joined the army, but because they were forcibly recruited.
Because of this, they understand even more how important it is to have a person like Qin He in charge.
Of course, even so, many of those who stayed were still worried.
But such worries were gradually weakened by Qin He's guarantee in the end.
As for the province where Qinghe Prefecture is now located, under the strong power of Qinhe, it soon took over the rest of the prefectures.
As for those government officials who still wanted to resist, Qin He naturally did not intend to give them any room.
Once caught, they were executed in public.
In this way, it can be said that the entire province where Qinghe Prefecture is located has been unified by Qinhe.
On the other hand, the reason why the other provinces did not use money to support them was that they already knew how powerful the Qin invaders were.
It is naturally impossible for them to risk their lives and death.
After allocating the income of the entire province where Qinghe Prefecture is located, Qin He ordered people to directly carry out reforms.
The policy of more work, more gain was soon implemented throughout the province.
This is definitely a great thing for ordinary people.
In order to solve the problem of famine among the people due to lack of food, Qin He directly opened the granary.
Every day people can receive the rice and noodles they need for their own survival.
It can be said that Qin He's reforms have made him firmly remembered by the people of the entire province.
Because of his actions, people are no longer troubled by hunger.
Of course, opening warehouses to release grain is just a temporary measure now.
When spring comes, these people will naturally be allowed to farm.
After all the matters were given, Qin He took Xie Yuan directly to the province where Liu Qiang was located.
The reason why Li Yang was not brought along this time was because Li Yang needed to stay on the island to take charge of the overall situation.
Also staying behind were Deng Kai and others.
Nowadays, Bi Hanlin has become more identified with Qin He, and he does not object to his old subordinates training for Qin He's militia.
There was only one thing he was worried about.
That's how Qin He rescued his family in the capital?
On the day Qin He and Xie Yuan left, Bi Hanlin decided to go together.
This was unexpected for Qin He.
With some men, Qin He and the others headed straight for the province where Liu Qiang was.
South East Province, Nanyang Prefecture.
Today's Nanyang Island can be said to be full of panic.
Because they all know what happened in the province next door.
The so-called Qin bandits were so powerful that these officials couldn't help but feel anxious.
But fortunately, Qin Kou did not hit them.
After regaining the province centered on Qinghe Prefecture, it stopped expanding.
Regarding the current situation, my anxiety has just calmed down a little.
But at this moment, for them, they still dare not relax at all.
The one who played was asked for help, and the one who asked for help asked for help.
It can be said that they have made sufficient preparations to deal with the invasion of Qin invaders.
Faced with the current situation, it is impossible for them not to worry.
It's just that the officials of Nanyang Prefecture don't know that the person they are worried about now has come to their territory.
Qin He's arrival did not attract the attention of the local officials.
After all, it was easy for Qin He to avoid being discovered by others.
Simple makeup is enough.
When Qin He arrived in Nanyang Prefecture, Liu Qiang came to greet him immediately.
When he saw Qin He, Liu Qiang was even more excited.
"Brother Qin is really powerful. Now he has captured the entire province!"
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Qin He just smiled lightly.
"This South East Province is our next target!"
