Xia Qing did not nod or shake his head, but directly revealed his decision:

"The water output of that spring is not small. Each territory can easily use ten portions. The key is how to keep it secret. After today's meeting, everyone should go back and discuss and come up with a specific and feasible confidentiality plan. We will meet here again at this time tomorrow morning. As long as your plan is unanimously approved by all members, you can take the water. After confirming the number of people and the plan, we will immediately start to clean up the hidden valley and prepare the facilities for growing rice seedlings."

Everyone nodded immediately.

"I have an idea, everyone listen to it first." After learning the news about the spring water, Kuang Qingwei, who had been writing and drawing, spoke. Although he was talking to everyone, he looked directly at Xia Qing.

Seeing Xia Qing nod, Kuang Qingwei continued, "No matter how many people in the territory decide to drink high-quality water, our lord must drink high-quality spring water. After drinking high-quality spring water for a period of time, our physical fitness will definitely improve, and this cannot be hidden from the people in the territory. Once their curiosity is aroused, it is only a matter of time before they discover our secret."

"We have seen too much ugliness and greed in human nature over the years. We can probably guess what they will do when they find out."

This is the disadvantage of having too many people in the territory, and everyone nodded in unison.

Kuang Qingwei continued, "My idea is, let's pretend to start using high-grade filter cartridges. I'll pretend to import a batch of high-grade filter cartridges and openly 'sell' them to everyone, and you guys will pretend to process the water from this river in the territory with the high-grade filter cartridges before drinking it."

"The river in our territory is a low-pollution water source. After using high-end filters, the water quality can reach the green light drinking water quality. We drink such good water, and add natural food, it is natural for our physical fitness to improve." Kuang Qingwei calculated for everyone.

"A high-grade filter costs 550 points. According to the water quality of our river, a filter can filter out about 50 liters of drinking water, and each liter of water is 11 points. A person needs about 2.5 liters of water a day for eating and drinking, which is 27.5 points. The salary we pay to workers in the territory is 3-5 points a day. This price is far beyond their ability to bear. Therefore, they will not buy water from us."

"However, if the workers in the territory decide to form a group to install high-quality filters or buy water from us, we have no objection. It is not a bad thing for us if they drink high-quality water to improve their physical fitness."

Xia Qing felt that Kuang Qingwei's method had merits, but the loopholes were also obvious. "Over time, problems will be discovered in the channels through which you get the goods, and there is still a risk of leakage. It is better to exchange with the third brother than to purchase fake filter elements from outside."

Kuang Qingwei's eyes lit up immediately. "If Third Brother agrees, it's safest to 'buy' from him. A high-end filter element outside costs 550 points, and Third Brother's filter element can be sold for 700 points. At 700 points, the price of a day's water is 35 points."

"Yes, Third Brother's pharmaceutical technology is so amazing, 700 points is not too much." Zhao Ze immediately followed up, "But, can Third Brother agree?"

Zhu Li reminded Zhao Ze, "Third brother is also a member of the alliance."

On the way back after the meeting, Zhao Ze explained to Xia Qing very sincerely, "Xia Qing, it was not me who ordered Zhao Chong to spy on your territory."

Xia Qing nodded and reminded Zhao Ze, "Brother Zhao, the situation in your territory and Territory No. 15 is the most complicated. Go back and discuss it with your mother. Do you still remember the consequences of leaking a top-level secret?"

There are three penalties for leaking a top-level secret:
First, expel them from the territory alliance and put them on the blacklist, and the territory members will no longer conduct any transactions with this territory.

Second, the territory that leaked the information must pay double compensation for the losses caused to the territory alliance due to his leaking behavior.

Third, the Territory Alliance will recover all the benefits that the territory previously enjoyed within the alliance. For ordinary lords, these three punishment measures are equivalent to taking his life.

These punishment measures were jointly formulated by all members of the Lords' Alliance, because order was chaotic during the years of natural disasters, and severe punishments were necessary to keep everyone alert at all times and keep the alliance's top secrets.

After parting with Zhao Ze with heavy steps, Xia Qing returned to Territory No. 3 and found Tan Junjie waiting for her outside the north gate of the territory.

Xia Qing quickly climbed up the hillside, "Captain Tan."

Tan Junjie nodded, "Qiqi caused you trouble last night."

Xia Qing answered objectively, "No, Qiqi is very sensible. The buns and dried meat she makes are delicious."

Tan Junjie took out an insulated bag from his backpack. "These are the six kilograms of green light corn seeds, ten kilograms of yellow light wheat seeds, and twenty heads of green light garlic that I exchanged at the Red 10th Base. I'm going to use them to exchange for the 40 kilograms of meat you have. The green light corn is unique to the Red 3th Base. The variety is called Y-14 and has three generations of stability. The yellow light wheat is a new variety called M-. It is said to also have three generations of stability and is very cold-resistant and antibacterial."

After that, Tan Junjie explained, "I had long planned to go to the Red 11th Base to get supplies and then exchange them with you after returning."

But I didn’t expect that Yanlong mentioned it to Xia Qing first.

Xia Qing was surprised, "I've heard of Red Eleven's Y-3 a long time ago. Captain Tan, you're amazing. You can get six kilograms in one go!"

Seeing that Xia Qing really liked it, Tan Junjie finally smiled. "I have an old comrade who works at the planting center of the Red 14th Base. I went there just to find him. I heard that M- wheat also has a green light variety, but my comrade didn't have enough authority to get it. You plant the yellow light wheat next spring, and you may be able to harvest a few ears of green light wheat and keep them as seeds."

If it wasn't for the purpose of obtaining high-quality seeds and returning to exchange them with Xia Qing for python meat, Tan Junjie wouldn't have been scrambling to get a spot to escort criminals.

Xia Qing took the seeds and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go back to get the meat."

Xia Qing placed the seeds in the underground food storage room, took out 60 kilograms of advanced evolved green lantern python meat and 5 kilograms of green lantern walnuts, and gave them to Tan Junjie, "You can also take Sister Yan's 20 kilograms of snake meat to her. Here are kilograms of green lantern walnuts, which can improve brain health when eaten raw. If you and Qiqi are eating them, it's best not to eat more than three a day."

Without waiting for Tan Junjie to say anything, Xia Qing added, "The seeds you gave me are worth so many supplies."

Tan Junjie took it solemnly, thanked her solemnly, and then extended an invitation, "Qiqi will stay in the territory and not return to the safe zone. After the beginning of next spring, I plan to set aside a piece of land in Territory No. 15 to build a house and a wall for her. If you are not busy at that time, I would like to ask you to go over and help me see how to build it more appropriately."

It seems that Tan Qi told her father what happened in the safe zone. Xia Qing smiled, "When the time comes, please let me know in advance and I will definitely go there."

After returning to the territory, Xia Qing immediately went into the underground food storage room, opened his pocket, and took a look at the yellow corn kernels. (End of this chapter)
