Chapter 1594 The situation outside is getting worse

The generals didn't mention how much food they would take away, and they would wait until the rice was harvested.

After harvesting the winter wheat, the pigs in the back mountain will be harvested in a few days. The soldiers will go back temporarily after finishing their work. Qi Ke also left the village to visit her textile factory.

Her first factory is a peninsula-like terrain connected to a mountain, and there are [-] female workers on the mountain who are responsible for farming and breeding, planting plants with well-developed root systems to fix the soil in places prone to landslides.

This factory is really built like an iron barrel. The tall and solid walls block the sight in three directions. When there is danger, the walls can be equipped with muskets.

Qi Ke stayed here for a few days, keeping an eye on the business. Merchants coming from the inland waterway would make this the first stop. If they could buy Xinyi textiles here, they would go home directly instead of going to Liangshui Town. up.

It is difficult to do business now, and the situation is not peaceful everywhere. It really reflects the saying that time is money. You can sell the goods one step faster than your peers and earn money yourself.

This factory can ship a large amount of yarn gray cloth and colored cloth, so it has become the first choice of businessmen who do this type of business.

Qi Ke will gradually transfer the production of floral cloth to Liangshui Town, otherwise the burden on the factory here will be too heavy, and Liangshui Town will not have enough to eat.

After staying here for a few days, Qi Ke heard a lot of latest gossip from the businessmen who came and went, and learned that there is a tycoon who occupies one side.

The Xiongxiong are all like the King of the Mountain, they don’t understand the principle of being kind to the people at all, they rob if they have no money, they rob if they don’t have food, they rob if they don’t have soldiers, they also rob without women, so the people who live in the territory occupied by the Xiongxiong have a hard life. Unbelievably, there are not a few people whose families have been destroyed, and the people who have lost their homes and lands have to join the ranks of heroes in order to survive.

Qi Ke felt that this was not a hero, it was clearly a bandit descending the mountain.

The Jiaji Boat Company, which shuttles back and forth on the Jiuzhi River every day, has not encountered any thugs blocking the way. Now that the merchants have mentioned this, Qi Ke will pay more attention to it.

Donglin County is safe and sound, and the bandits have brains. What Qi Ke is worried about is Nanyang County. The government's own troops are pitifully weak. They only rely on the Cao Gang led by Jiajia Village. That's going to be a struggle.

These businessmen are only talking about the situation in Heyang Prefecture, which belongs to Dong'an Prefecture in Donglin County, and do not include the recent situation in other states. They only know that the more inland the Central Plains, the worse it may be, because historically, those places have been contested by military strategists. In this land, the folk customs are aggressive, and if a hero who is capable of conquering and fighting is really going to emerge, the headaches are not limited to the local government.

Businessmen are cautious in their words, and when they talk about gossip, five out of ten sentences must add the word hearsay.

Qi Ke, on the other hand, thinks that there is a reason for the groundless rumors. Even if there are such rumors, even if they are only three-point credible, it is enough to show that the situation in the Central Plains is like a powder keg, and a slight mistake will cause the entire dynasty to fall apart.

The merchants also persuaded Qi Ke to spin the cotton in his hand into yarn and weave it into cloth as soon as possible. These things are in short supply, not only for the daily use of ordinary people, but also for the heroes who want to pull up a team and fight hard. , she is well-known, and the business is not difficult to do.

In fact, not only Qi Ke’s fabrics are well-known, but also Jiaji Shipping Company’s reputation is not small. Otherwise, merchants would not come to buy goods and do business knowing the danger. The picture is that Jiaji’s boats are safe, as long as they board the boat, they are safe. Yes, the water bandits occupying the waterway gave way early when they saw the Jia character flag.
