An island 100 miles east of the coastline of Qinghe City.

This island is in a circle, with a hundred miles to the coastline from the middle of the island, and the area is not small.

The island is high in the middle and low in the periphery, but the slope is extremely gentle, even in the middle of the island is only a few tens of meters high, and its soil is even more fertile.

As a result, the trees on the island are luxuriant.

From a distance, there is nothing special about the island, but if you get closer, you will find that there are many watchtowers along the coastline.

And on these watchtowers, there are people standing guard all day long.

And this island is also occupied by the Qin River.

Now this island is also named Dongqin Island.

The central part of Dongqin Island has long since ceased to be desolate, replaced by wooden houses rising from the ground.

The coastline of Dongqin Island stretches from one mile to the middle of the island, and is all newly cultivated land.

It must be known that there is also a radius of 100 miles around Dongqin Island, and such a huge project can be completed in just over a month, which can be regarded as terrifying.

And the person who released the reclamation work is now the owner of Dongqin Island, Qin He.

Nowadays, the number of people in Dongqin Island is rising every day, although it is not much, but it is still 20 or 30 new people every day.

Among these people are the original locals of Qinghe Prefecture, and there are also displaced people from the north.

At present, the number of people on Dongqin Island has reached more than 3,700.

Except for the necessary sentry posts and the army, the rest of the people were in full swing.

The cultivation of the reclamation, the felling of the trees, the construction of the houses.

It can be said that it has made the best use of people, without the slightest waste of manpower.

In the central residential area of Dongqin Island, in the highest attic.

Qin He stood on the top of the newly built three-story attic and looked around the entire island, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

After all, this island was built by him, and in such a short period of time.

Nowadays, the layout of the houses in the residential area is arranged by Qin He.

It's not perfect, but at least it's a lot better than in today's era.

Especially looking at the island that is getting better, Qin He's sense of accomplishment in his heart is even greater.

But......

The Qin River is no longer satisfied with the simplicity of just an island.

"Xianggong, it's windy here! Let's come in! ”

The voice behind him pulled Qin He's thoughts back to reality.

glanced back and found that Xie Yuan was standing behind him.

"Don't worry, these little winds can't do anything to me."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he frowned slightly.

"It's better to be careful, don't wait until you catch the wind and cold to regret it."

Seeing that Xie Yuan was so persistent, Qin He had no choice but to return to the room.

Not long after he sat down, Qin He heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Not long after, Li Yang's voice sounded from the attic.

"Brother Qin! Event! Something big is happening again! ”

Hearing Li Yang's urgent voice, Qin He hurriedly went downstairs.

When I came downstairs, I saw Li Yang standing in the hall with an anxious face.

"What's going on?"

Li Yang saw Qin He come down from the upper floor and ask this, so he directly told him what happened.

After listening to Li Yang's story, Qin He's brows couldn't help frowning.

From the population of Xindeng Island, it was learned that Qinghe Prefecture had imposed a second tax again after only one month.

Originally, Qin He could not care about this matter at all, after all, now that he had been forced to go to Liangshan, how could he have any mind to pay attention to this.

But Qin He thinks that this has a great relationship with him.

Nowadays, the people in Qinghe Prefecture are facing such heavy taxes, which will inevitably drive the vast majority of people to a dead end.

When the time comes, someone will inevitably fall into the grass.

If it's just like that, Qin He doesn't have to care either, what he cares about is ......

When that time comes, a large number of forced refugees will flood into their Dongqin Island.

Although Dongqin Island is not small, it also has a limit to accommodation.

In addition, there is a shortage of food now, and even now they have to distribute food carefully.

If there is another influx of refugees......

The result is predictable.

Although Qin He could have refused to let those refugees go to the island, he couldn't do such a thing.

It's not that Qin He is a virgin, on the contrary, there is a reason why he takes in refugees like this.

You must know that if you want to confront the government, you must have manpower.

Not only in confrontation, but also in production.

To put it simply, human resources are an extremely valuable asset.

Especially for the current Qin River.

The reason why so many people are mobilized to participate in the reclamation of the land is also to solve the food problem.

But it takes time to plant food, and it doesn't mean that you can harvest it if you plant it.

The stockpiling grain will definitely not be taken out, after all, it is all used for emergencies.

At most, we can devote some of them to solving the current problem.

But fortunately, there are not many refugees pouring into Dongqin Island at the moment, and there is still some time for them to prepare.

Qin He not only has to take in these smuggled refugees, but also does not refuse to come.

As long as you are willing to follow him, you will not lose a bite of food for them.

"Brother Qin, this group of corrupt officials on a dog day! You will know that the scourge of the common people! ”

After speaking, Li Yang couldn't help but scold.

Qin He slowly lowered his gaze to the distant coastline, and looked at it for a moment before retracting his gaze.

"How are your men training?"

When Li Yang heard this, he was stunned before he reacted, his eyes couldn't help flashing a gleam, and he subconsciously asked.

"Brother Qin, what do you mean ......?"

Seeing that Li Yang understood what he meant, Qin He nodded with a smile.

"Since those dogs don't treat people as human beings, they only know that they enjoy their fun, then we can't let them live too comfortably!"

After receiving Qin He's affirmative answer, Li Yang's eyes were even more shining.

"Brother Qin, just swallow your heart in your stomach! I promise they won't find the north! ”

As he spoke, Li Yang wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Qin He hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"The guns on the main battle ship are all equipped, right?"

Hearing Qin He's words, Li Yang stopped, turned around and nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Qin, how can I forget what you explained, the main battle ships are equipped with twenty-four doors each, ten on each side, and two on the front and rear!"

Speaking of this, the expectation in Li Yang's eyes was even more obvious.

"In addition, the gunpowder prepared by Brother Qin for us to contact the Japanese Kou before is also about to arrive!"

Hearing Li Yang's words, Qin He nodded with satisfaction.

Qin He naturally knew the recipe for gunpowder, and now there are still a lot of raw materials on the island.

It's just that Qin He doesn't want to use it, and he can buy it so that he can deal with unexpected needs.

As for the Japanese Kou whom Qin He contacted him, he was naturally the Wai Kou generation who cooperated with him at the beginning.

Now Qinhe is the target of the government's attention, but it makes it much easier for those Japanese to act.

"Let's go! I'm going with you this time! Give those dogs a long memory! ”

Qin He said, one step at a time.
