Chapter 174: No work, no food

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

Geng Mu allocated Qin Zhi a few people, and Qin Zhi went directly to the location she had chosen to build the wharf and prepare to start construction.

"You say, is she prepared?"

Geng Hong saw that Qin Zhi was gone, his face was not good, and he asked in a cold voice.

Geng Mu seemed to have been accustomed to seeing his face, and said in a deep voice:

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

Geng Hong was shocked, "This can't be!" ”

"I know that there will never be any major mistakes in what you are responsible for, I just analyze with you what may happen."

"Humph!"

Geng Hong's face has only improved a little, the safety of Qinglong Mountain has always been his responsibility, if there is really something to do, isn't that equivalent to pointing at his nose and saying that he is incompetent.

"If not, it's even worse."

But Geng Mu's next words 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 face was not very good-looking.

"You mean, someone is worried about Qinglong Mountain?"

Geng Hong's eyes became sharp.

"When I was in Jingde, that Lord Wei seemed to have a close contact with Qin Zhi."

"You mean, the imperial court ......"

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

"At this time, the imperial court still has the strength to spare?"

Geng Mu shook his head, "I'm just listing the possible situations, not to mention, there are still three thousand nails in the broken ship, even if Dayong really reaches the end of the road, he won't be vulnerable, not to mention that a mayfly like the Fire Phoenix Sect, how can it be able to shake the giant tree?" ”

"That's not necessarily, aren't the unscrupulous children and grandchildren of the emperor's family busy with infighting!"

Geng Hong looked unimpressed.

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

"She? Myself? ”

Geng Hong looked skeptical.

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

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

"Shhhh I said, Boss Geng, you can't take a fancy to her, do you? It's true that she looks pretty good, but you don't look up to her so much, do you? Having said that, it's not impossible to let her be the daughter-in-law of the Geng family, it's just that people don't necessarily like you, my sister loves to be pretty! ”

Geng Hong said in the end, with a little smug on his face.

Geng Mu's face remained unchanged, "Then it depends on their abilities, no matter what, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages if she can stay in Qinglong Mountain." ”

The two half-brothers became-for-tat again, and the tacit understanding and cooperation of the discussion just now were swept away.

"Anyway, since you want to keep her, why did you agree to her, borrowing a boat and repairing a dock."

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

Geng Mu gave him a deep look, "You can give it a try." ”

"No, I'm not fooled, you must have learned some information by doing this, and I won't be provoked."

Geng Hong looks handsome, and he also has a sense of arrogance, but his mind is quite fine, and he is not the kind of brainless person.

A flash of relief flashed in Geng Mu's eyes, but he said lightly:

"Learn a little bit, don't always look down on others."

"I'm really interested, when did the boss of the Geng family pay so much attention to people, or a woman, don't regret it, when the time comes, you will rely on your own means!"

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

"But I still have a question, where is she going to get so much food?"

Although there are gold mines in Qinglong Mountain, there is really not much food, and in previous years it was self-sufficient, but this year's famine, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and money cannot buy it.

If it is really a large number of recruits, rations are indeed a big problem, which is why the Geng family has been absorbing some homeless people, but they dare not act rashly.

Geng Mu remembered that Qin Zhi had helped Taisun solve the food problem in Jingde, and a wave of anticipation rose in his heart.

"Be patient, maybe there will be a surprise."

Besides, Qin Zhi and a few people from Qinglong Mountain came to the dock construction site she chose.

This is a seaside place on the southeast side of Qinglong Mountain, and the terrain is very suitable for building a wharf, in addition to the various information collected during this time, it is also one of the best places she selected after exploring last night.

After listening to the old boatman once again determine the reef distribution of this beach, Qin Zhi finally settled on this location.

"I need manpower, and I'm going to start tonight."

Qin Zhi commanded.

Among the people arranged by Geng Mu, a man in his forties surnamed Luo is regarded as the steward among these people, and he is called Lao Luo.

When Lao Luo heard this, he did not refute it, but directly asked how many people were needed and how to start the construction.

Qin Zhi nodded secretly, this person is a doer, and his action is good.

"Let's build two sheds first, one to stack grain and the other to recruit workers."

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

Manpower has never been something Qin Zhi is worried about, there are so many people fleeing outside, as long as there are means, some are manpower.

Wait for tomorrow to recruit some people to come and work, and if there is food, naturally someone will come to work.

When the time comes, you will be able to attract more people.

As for repairing the wharf, in fact, for Qin Zhi, it is not necessary, but since she has this condition, she doesn't mind making more retreats.

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

Early the next morning, when the people of Qinglong Mountain who were dispatched to Qin Zhi came to the two sheds that were erected yesterday, they were taken aback, and overnight, a lot of grain had been piled up in the two sheds, which could at least allow more than 100 people to eat for two or three days.

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

Lao Luo rubbed his eyes as if he didn't believe it, and stepped forward to open the pocket containing the grain, checked it, and confirmed that it was real grain, so he couldn't help asking.

"Do your own thing."

Qin Zhi's face was indifferent, and her tone was cold.

Lao Luo and the others felt a pang in their hearts and hurriedly started working.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is a big taboo, especially at this time, when it comes to food, a little carelessness can lead to death.

With food, the few newly sent people from Geng Mu's side are also full of energy.

"Miss Qin, what are we doing?"

"Go and recruit some people, as long as you are young and strong, women and children are preferred, don't be old, eat and live, and eat three meals a day."

The next step is to need a large number of people, so naturally we have to recruit people first.

Since there are not enough marriageable women in Qinglong Mountain, they will recruit from the homeless.

"If I hear that there is food, then the people who come will not be able to go to the sea!"

Someone muttered quietly.

"It doesn't matter, the more people, the better."

Qin Zhi instructed, "But you have to say it first, if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat." ”
