"How could Li Qian be a royal clan member?"
At Hengshui Thirteenth Dock, Zhao Xuemin couldn't believe it.
"It doesn't matter whether he is a royal clan member or not, but he now has the imperial court as a backer." Qin Wenzhao said.
"In other words, it is already very difficult for us to touch him again." Zhao Xuemin sighed, "If I had known, I should have gotten rid of this person!"
"Maybe this matter is not harmful to us, but beneficial." Qin Wenzhao pondered.
"Oh? Why did Mr. Qin say that?" Zhao Xuemin asked in surprise.
"Mr. Zhao, do you think Li Qian is the kind of person who is willing to submit to the imperial court?" Qin Wenzhao simply asked.
Zhao Xuemin thought for a while and shook his head, "He has always been bold and bold. He even dared to kill officers and soldiers. He doesn't look like the kind of person who is willing to submit to the imperial court."
"So, he is just taking advantage of the imperial court's power and has no intention of surrendering to the imperial court. What does Mr. Zhao have to worry about?" Qin Wenzhao said.
"But this person is always a hidden danger to our Hengshui Thirteenth Ward. Even if he has no intention of surrendering to the imperial court, he will not rebel against the imperial court. Maybe one day, he will use the power of the imperial court to encircle and suppress us. After all, we and him His grudges are deep enough, and with his ability, Hengshui Thirteenth Wood will be really in danger by then." Zhao Xuemin said.
Qin Wenzhao took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Although Mr. Zhao's worries are not unreasonable, Mr. Zhao has never thought that any grudges can be resolved through benefits."
Zhao Xuemin was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?"
"Didn't Hengshui Shisanwu cooperate well with him at the beginning? Why can't we continue?" Qin Wenzhao said.
"The situation was different back then. I wanted to win him over and use him for our Hengshui Thirteenth Ward. But things are different now. We are enemies now. How can we cooperate?" Zhao Xuemin sighed.
"But maybe Li Qian didn't regard Hengshui Thirteenth Wood as his enemy, otherwise, he would have taken action long ago." Qin Wenzhao said.
Zhao Xuemin was slightly startled, "Mr. Qin, do you mean that we can really cooperate again?"
"As long as you are willing, Mr. Zhao, there is nothing wrong with it. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Qin Wenzhao said.
"Profits?" Zhao Xuemin pondered, "Even if we cooperate with him, what are our interests?"
"Hengshui Thirteenth Dock needs to recuperate and need some supplies, and Li Qian can provide us with the supplies we need." Qin Wenzhao said.
"But will he agree to cooperate with us?"
"Cooperation is also a transaction. As long as the benefits are sufficient, there is no reason for him to refuse."
"So what can we give him?"
"I believe the dock in Beiba Village will be put into use soon. What we can give him is smooth river transportation!" Qin Wenzhao said.
"In other words, we have to act as bodyguards for him in Chaotian Lake?" Zhao Xuemin frowned.
"Everyone gets what they need. Besides, has Mr. Zhao ever thought about another benefit for us to cooperate with him?" Qin Wenzhao said.
"What's the benefit?" Zhao Xuemin asked.
"If one day, the imperial court forces us to be in a hurry, we can use him to block us, or even let him truly become our team!" Qin Wenzhao said.
Zhao Xuemin's eyes lit up, "Sure enough, Mr. Qin has far-reaching thoughts. Xuemin feels ashamed."
"Since Wen Zhao has said it, we might as well say one more thing. To show our sincerity, we can send him two ships first." Qin Wenzhao continued.
"Send him two ships?"
"Since there is a dock, how come there are no ships? Speaking of which, Hengshui Thirteenth Wharf helped him build this dock. Since this favor has been done, why not help him to the end and send him two cargo ships. As long as he accepts it, Everything from now on will be easy to talk about," Qin Wenzhao said.
Zhao Xuemin nodded, "We don't have much else at Hengshui Thirteen Dock, but we still need a few ships. Then as Mr. Qin said, we will give him two ships!"
"Li Qian, it seems that our fate has not ended yet!"
Then, he picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp.
…
"Sir, our village's dock is almost finished, why haven't you found a man-made boat yet?"
Yun Niang and Li Qian were walking by the river. Looking at the dock that was almost completed, Yun Niang couldn't help but say.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Why panic? Maybe the ship will come by itself by then."
"The boat will come by itself?" Yun Niang's eyes widened, and then she rolled her eyes at Li Qian, "Mr. sir, will the boat still have legs?"
"Of course ships don't have legs, but people do have eyes." Li Qian said with a smile.
"My husband, what do you mean, someone will send us a ship? Who is that person? Admiral Shen didn't mention it at all when he came, so it can't be him. It's even more impossible for the royal family. There is only one possibility, and that is Hengshui Thirteenth dock!" Yun Niang couldn't help but guess.
Li Qian couldn't help but clapped her hands, "My wife is my wife, she can guess everything!"
