Wei Debiao looked out into the sea from the shore, and when he saw that the sailor's ship suddenly stopped, his heart moved, and he began to tense.

He and those people in the water division had already agreed that they were not absolutely sure, and they would rather not do it, and if they did, they would also make a false image of Zhou Quan drowning, so as not to be difficult to get out of it afterwards.

Now it seems that they have done it!

"On the sea, there should be no obstacles, that guy is a person from Beijing, and at most he has rolled in the Bianhe River in his life, and when he reaches the sea, he must be a landlubber...... Sure success! ”

Wei Debiao clenched his fists, and after a while, he saw that the boat began to return, and his heart became more and more happy: "It must have been a success, otherwise, the ship should continue to move forward and will land on Liandao, now it seems that the puppy must be dead, and they can't salvage it, so they can only return!" ”

The boat was getting closer and closer, Wei Debiao's heart was pounding, and he desperately looked towards the bow of the boat, but the bow of the sailor ship was higher, he looked at it, and only saw a vague figure, and looked carefully, but it was Feng Yanshou and the naval soldiers, and he didn't see Zhou Quan's appearance.

"Hahahaha......" Wei Debiao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed four times, and then he was afraid that others would see something from his expression, so he stopped laughing and waited with a serious face.

It's just that occasionally a smile flashes between his eyebrows.

When the boat finally landed, Wei Debiao confirmed again, in addition to Zhou Quan, the three Haizhou thieves he found were not there, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

However, when he saw Feng Yanshou's ugly face, his heart was settled.

If Zhou Quan was still there, this Feng Yanshou would definitely be flattering Zhou Quan, and now he is the only one in the bow of the boat, proving that Zhou Quan really had an accident.

"Feng Patrol ......" Wei Debiao greeted him.

Feng Yanshou nodded to him slightly, and jumped ashore without waiting for the ship to set up the gangway, Wei Debiao walked up to him and pretended to be curious: "Isn't the boat going to Liandao, why did you come back?" ”

"There was an accident, Zhou Yanei fell into the water." Feng Yanshou said simply.

"Ah, how are the people?" Wei Debiao exclaimed.

Although his acting skills are good, Feng Yanshou, who was already close to him, didn't want to cooperate anymore, so he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the guy to the ground, Feng Yanshou pulled out his waist knife and put it on his neck.

"Dog thief, you dare to calculate grandpa me!"

"Inspector Feng, Brother Feng, where are you, I have always been good friends with my brother, how can I calculate...... Calculation ......"

Wei Debiao was still yelling, but his voice was suddenly choppy, because he saw Zhou Quan jumping from the boat, and then two of the three Haizhou thieves he had planted were tied and dragged over.

Seeing these two bloodstained guys, Wei Debiao didn't understand that his plan had failed.

"Wei Haiwei, you son of a bitch, why don't you tell me, his water nature is better than yours!"

"You dog thief stupid, you have been fooled at all, he just wants to lead you to attack!"

The two tortured guys completely transferred their hatred to Wei Debiao at this time, Wei Debiao opened his mouth wide, and then recalled the bits and pieces before, and what he originally wanted to justify himself was replaced by a lost soul at this time.

"It's all ...... Trap, he is tempting me to do it, why is he doing this, he really wants to deal with me, it is a very simple matter, why do you want to set this trap...... No, his target is not me, but the Haizhou Bandit Remnants, and he wants to follow these guys and raise a big prison! ”

Thinking of this, Wei Debiao felt that he understood many things.

"Qi Nian, I'll leave it to you, ask him, if the fishermen on Lian Island are related to Haizhou thieves." Zhou Quan's voice sounded.

Even what can the fishermen on the island have to do with the Haizhou thieves, it's just a bit of a roundabout connection, Zhou Quan said this, Wang Qinian understood it, it was Wei Debiao, and he vaguely understood something.

The purpose of this kid is to implicate the fishermen villages on Lian Island through himself...... He wants to attack Renjima, no wonder, no wonder!

Wei Debiao has always felt that he is ruthless, greedy, and shameless, but now he finds that there seems to be a gap between himself and the young man in front of him.

On the other side, Zhang Shun also heard what Zhou Quan meant, he pulled Zhou Quan aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhou Dalang, do you want to embarrass the fishermen on the island?" ”

"There are dozens of fishermen on the island, close to 100 households, I want this island to be of some use, they are active on the island, and it is easy to leak the news of the island...... Uncle Zhang, don't you think that I want to embarrass them, I am showing them a new way, using this fat man's thing to let them leave Liandao, but they can go to work under us, for example, first under Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang will lead the fleet to sea in the future, don't you need these sailors who are both reliable and have experience at sea? ”

"Isn't it really embarrassing for them?" Zhang Shun still didn't believe it.

"I'll be honest with Uncle Zhang, I have an industry, which is more profitable than snow sugar, and if you put it on land, others will do it, so you can only put it on this island! These fishermen on the island had a hard time, and occasionally made a cameo appearance as a pirate, so I let them have a stable meal, do well, and their children and grandchildren have a great future...... Do you think this is embarrassing for them? ”

"Since it's not embarrassing them, why don't you just say it?" Zhang Shun was silent for a while, he still believed Zhou Quan's promise, but he didn't understand why Zhou Quan didn't make it clear to the fishermen on the island.

"Tell them I have a lucrative business to do here, will they leave? On the contrary, when the government says that they are suspected of colluding with pirates, and I tell them that I have an estate to house them, do you think they will leave? ”

Because Zhang Shun is still a person who can be trusted, Zhou Quan will explain it to him so clearly. Zhou Quan knows this person and knows that this person has a sense of justice, if he doesn't explain it clearly, he has a pimple in his heart, and something will happen in the future.

Sure enough, hearing Zhou Quan's words, Zhang Shun thought about it and had to smile bitterly: "Although I know that you are actually a little unrighteous by doing this, I also have to admit that only by doing this can you solve the problem, your goal is achieved, and the people can also benefit." ”

Seeing that he approved of this move, Zhou Quan relaxed his mind.

As Zhou Quan said, when Wei Debiao fell into the hands of Wang Qinian, it didn't take long for him and the two sergeants of the Xiang Army to be presented on the Su Mai case.

Seeing that it was related to the matter of the Haizhou thieves, Su Mai did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized the Xiang army and the errand soldiers, first cleared the people in the Xiang army who colluded with Wei Debiao and the Haizhou thieves, and then detained all the fishermen on the island.

There are Zhou Quan's tips, and Su Mai is not a cool official of the remnants, so although these people are panicked, the whole process is still smooth, and there are no casualties.

For these people, the next step is to dispose of them separately. Those who did collude with the Haizhou thieves to smuggle smuggled salt were sent to the coast - in fact, they were stuffed into the shipyards under construction and used as hard labor.

Those who did not collude with the Haizhou thieves and did not have the rest of the forbidden things were forcibly moved out of Liandao on the grounds that they "lived on an isolated island and were not suitable for governance", and they were also incorporated into the shipyard and served as craftsmen.

Slave labor was the same as artisans in that their families were likewise brought to the shipyard and to some extent taken hostage. The difference is that the laborers only have about 25 yuan a day, and the family is still struggling to make ends meet, and their families must also find a job in the shipyard. Craftsmen range from 30 to 80 wen per day, and if they can have a skill, they can even get a daily wage of 200 wen in Jingshi.

Together with the rest of the recruited salt farmers and fishermen, in a short period of time, the shipyard, which was still in preparation, had nearly a thousand laborers, who were divided into three groups and started the construction of the shipyard, the wharf and the salt yard at the same time.

"Salt pans?" Hearing Zhou Quan's arrangement, Su Mai was taken aback: "Didn't you tell me that the price of salt in Haizhou is of high quality, so the backlog is difficult to sell, and if you don't make private salt, you can't sell it at all?" ”

"It was the old method of boiling salt, which was not possible, but I used the method of making salt and improved it, and the salt made was cheap and good, and there was no market...... Su Gong came to Haizhou, I didn't think I was polite, so I offered this salt field and talked about Su Gongshou! ”

Su Mai had a heart for Zhou Quan, and if it weren't for Su Zhe's death, he even wanted to recommend him to his uncle. Now that he has heard Zhou Quan's kindness, if he wants to give him a credit, he will naturally not refuse.

I just thought in my heart, this merit, no matter what, is indispensable to Zhou Quan's name, if it can be done, he should play the matter to the court from beginning to end, and recommend Zhou Quan to the government, so that such a young talent will not be wasted for a long time.

Zhou Quan's new method is the salt drying method, and after nearly a thousand years, many salt farms on the seaside still use this method, so Zhou Quan is no stranger.

"In addition to the salt works, I have written to my father to bring cement from Xuzhou, and at the same time sent craftsmen to help build the port wharf and teach how to use cement." Zhou Quan said again.

Su Mai was overjoyed: "When I was in Beijing, I saw that cement was being paved on the royal street, and I thought that this thing would prevail, but I heard that the production of Jingshi was insufficient, so Ling Zun and you went out of Beijing to Xu in order to increase production...... If I use it here, will there be less court offerings? ”

"Naturally, there will be no reduction in the court's offerings, whether it is in the Liguo Prison or here, we need the strong support of the imperial court." Zhou Quan said.

If you change the old-fashioned generation, you must say that this is an act of disloyalty to the Son of Heaven, but Su Mai is influenced by his father and does not care too much about this.

Fortunately, Su Mai did not learn the poisonous tongue from his father, otherwise it would be difficult to get along.

"At this time in winter, there is more wind and less rain, although the sun is not strong, but the wind can also dry the seawater, which is conducive to making brine into salt, if it is fast, it can become the first batch of salt after the New Year. With the work of the salt field, Su Gong can promote cotton planting again, and he can have a little more confidence. Zhou Quan said sincerely: "Duke Su, although I have some selfish intentions, the things I plan are all for the benefit of the country and the people, and I also ask Duke Su to learn from it." ”

Su Mai was taken aback: "What do you mean by that...... Are you leaving Haizhou? ”
