Chapter 174
After negotiating the conditions, the follow-up will be simple.

Geng Mu allocated some manpower to Qin Zhi, and Qin Zhi went directly to the site she had chosen to build the wharf, ready to start work.

"You said, did she prepare for it?"

Seeing that Qin Zhi had left, Geng Hong asked coldly with a grim expression.

Geng Mu seemed to have gotten used to his expression, and said in a deep voice:

"If we had prepared early, then our Qinglong Mountain must have her internal response."

Geng Hong was shocked, "This is impossible!"

"I know that there are never any major mistakes or omissions in the things you are responsible for. I just analyze the possible situations with you."

"Humph!"

Only then did Geng Hong's complexion turn a little better. He was always responsible for the safety of Qinglong Mountain. If there were any internal responses, wouldn't that mean pointing at his nose and saying that he was incompetent?

"If not, it would be even worse."

But what Geng Mu said next made Geng Hong frown, "What do you mean?"

"If there is no internal response, but she has so much information, what does it mean?"

Geng Mu's expression was not very good either.

"You mean, someone is thinking about going to Qinglong Mountain?"

Geng Hong's gaze became sharp.

"When we were in Jingde, that Master Wei seemed to be in close contact with Qin Zhi."

"You mean, the imperial court..."

Geng Hong frowned, it would be extraordinary if he was really targeted by the court.

"At this time, does the imperial court still have the power?"

Geng Mu shook his head, "I'm just listing out what might happen, what's more, there are still three thousand nails on the broken ship, even if Dayong is really at the end of the road, he won't be vulnerable, let alone the Fire Phoenix Sect How could this kind of mayfly shake the giant tree?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Aren't those unworthy sons and grandchildren of the emperor's family busy fighting among themselves!"

Geng Hong looked disapproving.

"There is another possibility that Qin Zhi found out the news by herself."

"Herself?"

Geng Hong looked suspicious.

Geng Mu's face was serious, "Based on my observation of her these days, I believe this statement even more."

Qin Zhi's behavior style left a deep impression on him.

"Tch! I said Boss Geng, don't you have a crush on her? It's true that she looks pretty good, but you don't think so highly of her, do you? After all, it's okay to let her be the daughter-in-law of the Geng family." It’s not impossible, it’s just that people don’t necessarily like you, my sister loves you!”

At the end of Geng Hong's speech, a bit of complacency appeared on his face.

Geng Mu's expression remained unchanged, "Then it depends on one's ability. No matter what, she can stay in Qinglong Mountain. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

The two half-brothers became tit-for-tat again, and the tacit understanding and cooperation that had just been discussed were wiped out.

"By the way, since you wanted to keep her, why did you agree to her? You borrowed a boat and repaired the pier."

Geng Hong was still a little puzzled, "Wouldn't it be better to let her stay willingly?"

Geng Mu took a deep look at him, "You can give it a try."

"No, I won't be fooled. You must have learned some information by doing this. I won't be provoked."

Geng Hong looks handsome, with a sense of arrogance all over his body, but his mind is still meticulous, not the kind of brainless person.

There was a flash of relief in Geng Mu's eyes, but he said lightly:
"Learn, don't always look down on others."

"I'm really interested. When did the Boss of the Geng family care so much about people? He's still a woman. Don't regret it. Then it's up to you!"

With a sense of confidence in his tone, Geng Hong said as if declaring war.

"But I still have a question, where can she get so much food?"

Although there are gold mines in Qinglong Mountain, there is really not much food. In previous years, they were self-sufficient, but this year there was a famine, and there was a shortage of food everywhere, and they couldn't buy it even if they had money.

If it is really necessary to recruit a large number of people, rations will indeed be a big problem, which is why the Geng family has been absorbing some refugees, but they dare not act rashly.

Geng Mu thought of Qin Zhi helping his grandson solve the food problem in Jingde, and a wave of anticipation rose in his heart.

"Be patient, maybe there will be surprises."

Besides, on Qin Zhi's side, she and a few people from Qinglong Mountain came to the wharf construction site she had chosen.

This is a place near the sea on the southeast side of Qinglong Mountain. The terrain is very suitable for building a pier. Except for the selection of various information collected during this period, it is also one of the best places she selected after the survey last night.

After hearing that the old boatman once again determined the distribution of reefs on this beach, Qin Zhi finally decided on this location.

"I need manpower, and I will start work tonight."

Qin Zhi ordered.

Among the people arranged by Geng Mu, a man in his 40s, surnamed Luo, is considered to be the manager among these people, known as Lao Luo.

After hearing this, Lao Luo did not refute, but directly asked how many people were needed and how to start the construction.

Qin Zhi nodded secretly, this person is a practical man with good mobility.

"First build two sheds, one is used to store food, and the other is used to recruit workers."

Qin Zhi's words made Lao Luo stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just answered and went to work.

Manpower has never been Qin Zhi's worry. There are so many fleeing people outside, as long as they have the means, there will be plenty of manpower.

When some people are recruited to work tomorrow, if there is food, people will naturally come to work.

At that time, more people will be attracted.

As for repairing the pier, it was actually not necessary for Qin Zhi, but since she had this condition, she didn't mind finding an extra way out.

Take it as a little sincerity to make friends with Qinglong Mountain.

Early the next morning, when the people from Qinglong Mountain dispatched to Qin Zhi came to the two sheds that had been built yesterday, they were surprised. A lot of food had been piled up in the two sheds overnight, and the food could at least feed more than 100 people. No. [-] person has been eating for two or three days.

"Here, what's going on, Miss Qin?"

Lao Luo rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and went forward to open the bag containing the food, checked it, and confirmed that it was real food, so he couldn't help asking.

"Do your own thing."

Qin Zhi had an indifferent face and a cold tone.

Lao Luo and the others were shocked, and hurried to work.

Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, this is a big taboo, especially at this time, when it comes to things like food, if you are a little careless, it is possible to cause death.

With the food, the newly sent people from Geng Mu's side also became more motivated.

"Miss Qin, what are we doing?"

"You go and recruit some people, as long as you are young and strong, women and those with children are preferred, and old people are not allowed. Take care of food and housing, three meals a day."

The next thing is to need a lot of manpower, so naturally we need to recruit people first.

Since there are not enough marriageable women in Qinglong Mountain, they should be recruited from the refugees.

"If you hear that there is food here, the people who come here will be in trouble!"

Someone whispered.

"It's okay, the more people, the better."

Qin Zhi ordered, "But you have to agree first, if you don't work, you won't get food."
