Chapter 585 Open for business ([-])

Of course Xia Shou has nothing to do with Qi Ke.

After harvesting the beans on her [-]-acre farmland, she reorganized the land and replanted pasture grass, and used tons of buckets to fetch water from Qianhejing to irrigate the field. Send it to the silo and keep it for winter.

Qi Ke, who was idle, took the opportunity to work on her paper-making workshop. The fleet of Jia Ji Shipping Company transported paper-making raw materials from other places one by one. He also paid close attention to Qi Ke's paper mill which was preparing to start construction, and knew very clearly that the raw material pool was already storing water and soaking materials.

The rabbits sent from above became the best meat supplements for the villagers at this time, but the village is a little bit difficult for public property, and the two village chiefs were reluctant to eat the rabbits just like that, so they found time to find Qi Ke to help readjust the number of males and females. Eat part and raise part, with the fecundity of rabbits, there will be a batch of newly grown rabbits in the new year.

The rabbits that were picked out to be eaten were sent to the Cyclamen Inn. After deboning, they were cut into fine cubes and roasted together with the same chopped pig roots to make a thick soup like rice bowl. Every day at noon When eating, the villagers who go to the field can get a spoonful of food in addition to the meals they bring. They can’t do heavy physical work, but women and children who also have to work on the edge of the field will help clean up the soup casserole after sharing the food. Dip the residual soup in the pot to clean it up.

The people-carrying boats from the county come here every day. At the beginning, they were all girls under ten years old. After half of the summer harvest, boys began to appear.

First of all, both of these boys’ parents died. Because of their young age, the Bai family’s army would not accept them if they wanted to join the army. They could only hang out in the county town. Yes, because they are young and not afraid of losing face, they kowtow to sell themselves at the gate of Jiaji Shipyard. Some boys have younger brothers and sisters under their knees.

Qi Ke couldn't help making an exception for those who didn't accept pregnant women. These little boys begged at the door, and she nodded after holding back for 5 minutes. She comforted herself that when the boys grew up, they would replenish the Bai family's army's military resources. Anyway, it wouldn't be wasted.

After opening this hole, the shipyard has boys who volunteer to come here every day. They say that if their parents are dead, they don’t want to sell themselves for money, but they will accept them as long as they are healthy and healthy. Lice, fleas, night blindness, iodine deficiency, big neck, calcium deficiency, anemia, lack of everything Micronutrients are not a problem.

For these boys, Qi Ke also changed their names and surnames, uniformly using the surname Bai, and the soldiers of the Bai family army had to be named Bai, and did not accept rebuttals.

Baiqing's military posts in the county have reported these matters truthfully. There are too many refugees, and riots will break out one day. Recruiting refugees to join the army is a solution, but the premise is that the court will give money to increase troops.

The court has no money.

Because of the severe drought in the capital, the people in the capital fled a lot in the first half of the year. Now the capital is half empty, and the court barely maintains it every day. None of the ministers dare to mention the word money. Emperor Taiyuan will be furious when he mentions money.The expenses in the palace have been reduced and reduced, and many palace maids and eunuchs have been released. The high-ranking royal family members have been cut off from support, and only three generations of direct blood relatives have been supported. To support myself, I can't get a tael of silver, and I can't help but be dissatisfied. No one dares to say that they are more capable than the emperor's ministers and can reverse this bad situation in one fell swoop.
