Although Village Chief Xiao was tempted, he still refused, "You can come back later, and we will save some good ones for you then."
Jin Qianqian, "Thank you so much!"
The guards behind him, each carrying a frame, protected Jin Qianqian as she left.
When the people walked away, the villagers could no longer bear it and asked, "Village Chief, should we follow them and take a look?"
Village Chief Xiao said, "It's just a small thing. Wang Li and his men won't take it seriously. Moreover, these people are not simple at first glance. They dare not cause trouble."
"Then why didn't we sell them more just now?"
Village Chief Xiao slapped him directly, "You idiot, it's obvious from the first glance that you are not an ordinary person.
We want to change the status quo, but we don't want to offend anyone.
If a conflict really breaks out and these nobles get hurt, the consequences are something we cannot afford."

"Madam, why don't we buy more? With so many people here, are you afraid of a small vendor?" Li Qiu was not convinced when she saw that she failed to get so many high-quality goods.
Jin Qianqian opened the curtain and looked outside. "There is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and we can't just listen to one side.
If both parties have already drawn up an agreement, what's the point of us interfering?
Moreover, in my opinion, these vendors are not that corrupt, otherwise do you think the villagers would be so dedicated to handling the seafood so cleanly?"
Li Qiu gritted his teeth, "They lied to us."
"I don't know about that," Jin Qianqian admired the scenery outside, "Liqiu, you are still too impatient. Can't you see that the life in Zhaoyu Village is much better than those in the other villages?
Sometimes people are never satisfied, you must not be impulsive, or you will become someone's sword."
Li Qiu's face froze, and he realized that something was wrong.
“Since there is a signed agreement, it should be followed.
It is normal for the other party to ask them to fulfill their obligations.
No matter what the inside story is, we should not get involved."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that there was someone in Zhaoyu Village who was familiar with water, and Jin Qianqian wouldn't have given up so easily.
After driving for a distance, a village appeared in front of them. However, looking at the village, the houses were not even as neat as those in Zhaoyu Village.
Just after their carriage passed, several men appeared on the road in the village.
"Brother Wang, are you just going to leave it like this?" Little Stone asked angrily.
Wang Li looked at the carriage going away and said in a cold voice, "We can't afford to provoke these people, not to mention that they have been deceived.
It seems that Zhaoyu Village is becoming increasingly restless."
Xiao Shitou, "Every time they think the price we offer is too low, but they never think about how much investment we have to make.
Before, they begged Brother Wang to show them this way of life, but now these people are so happy that they want to cross the river and destroy the bridge. "
Wang Li patted Xiao Shitou's head and said, "Everything we do is mutual. Anyway, they are supplying the goods according to the agreement. Let's do it this way for now!"
"But they clearly supply less and less each time, and the quality is almost the same. Brother Wang, why do you have to endure it?"
Wang Li: "Oh, let's take a look!"
Little Stone didn't understand. He just stared at the carriage that was about to disappear from his sight. "Do you think these people will stand up for them again?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Wang Li pointed at the indentation on the road. "They have so many people, but they don't bring much goods. It seems that they don't want to be dragged into this for no reason. They are smart people."

Jin Qianqian and her friends visited several small fishing villages in succession, and finally felt that the dried goods in Zhaoyu Village were of the best quality and had the largest catches.
As for the sailors who were skilled in water, Jin Qianqian asked in several villages and gradually put the idea to rest.
"Madam, you've seen so many fishermen, but you don't see any one you like?"
On the return carriage, Li Qiu finally couldn't help asking.
Jin Qianqian, "I was obsessed before. When we get back, please help me put up a recruitment notice in each shop, looking for someone who is particularly good at water to be a mistress for a period of time."
Lichun: "Madam, do you mean that we should train it ourselves?
But is there enough time?"
Jin Qianqian, "It's too late. Hu Dong hasn't sent anyone here yet. By the time they arrive, the ship may be about to set sail.
But this is not a problem, I can ask General Zhou to help me with this."
Li Qiu screamed, "Madam, you mean those water ghosts that the general trained before."
Jin Qianqian glanced at her. Li Qiu was a little bit arrogant. She was speaking in a jumpy manner these days. "You can't say that. They are soldiers of our Rong Dynasty. Water ghosts are the name for those bandits."
Li Qiu immediately noticed the displeasure in Madam's tone and quickly restrained her expression, "I spoke out of turn."
Jin Qianqian, "No one would take it seriously among us privately, but if this were said outside and the soldiers heard it, they would be very disappointed.
Others don’t know that you are with us, and you should know the sufferings they endured during training.
Be more careful with your words in the future, not everyone can tolerate you like I do."
Li Qiu didn't dare to sit upright anymore, and knelt in the corner, "I know I was wrong."
Jin Qianqian, "Go back and ask Butler Fu to punish you."
Lichun reminded quietly, "Madam, Butler Fu has gone to Haicheng."
Jin Qianqian, "…Remember this first, and wait until he comes back."
Lichun glanced at the back of Liqiu's head as she lay there, "Madam, those soldiers who can swim are General Zhou's special forces. Will General Zhou be willing to let them go out to sea with the ship?"
Jin Qianqian, "We won't go far on our first trip. We'll just visit a few nearby island countries. Besides, we only have two merchant ships, so it would be safer to have a few people who are familiar with the water with us.
Let's talk about everything after we have consulted General Zhou first!"
Jin Qianqian didn't want to talk more, so she closed her eyes and wondered if this would work.
Ever since the last time he unexpectedly captured several ships of the pirates, Zhou Shixiong has been paying more attention to these soldiers who are familiar with water.
I've been secretly training some people these days, so I should be able to spare a few people, right?

Zhou Shixiong sneezed several times, causing Ah Da to get anxious. "My Lord, do you want me to go get a doctor?"
Zhou Shixiong waved his hand, "No, it's no big deal.
How's the matter that I asked you to keep an eye on going?"
Ah Da, "That Prince Zuo has been staying in prison obediently. No one has come to visit him, and he hasn't done anything."
Zhou Shixiong, "We can't take it lightly. These people come to rob every harvest season, and they succeed every time. There must be an insider in our Lucheng.
Don't just stare at him, pay attention to those who are close to him or those who are imprisoned in nearby cells."
