Chapter 939 Qi Ke's Order Meeting ([-])

"Okay, don't think about the tax when talking, just talk about the price, don't worry about anything else, whether the tax is not a tax is something I consider, we have so many people in the Bai family army, and the cotton clothes and quilts allocated by the court are never We have never been rich, and now we are stationed in the East China Sea, the conditions are much better than before, and if we can get the military supplies we want from overseas businessmen, we will not ask the court for it.”

"Anyway, the imperial court can't confess." Bai Qing answered naturally. When he was still guarding the northern border, such complaints were almost on everyone's lips every day.

"If the yarn farm that you and Qi Ke are cooperating with can start work, I will also allocate some cotton to produce cotton yarn and sell it to private merchants for some money first."

"Well..." Bai Qing thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "It seems to be okay, if we can negotiate with the cargo ship and have a stable supply, our soldiers and military households don't have to grab this batch of cotton. It’s too late to wait for the next batch.”

"Yes, that's what everyone means."

"Then what is the price of cotton yarn produced by my yarn factory for you?"

"That's why I talked to Qi Ke. If you are interested, I will allow you to sit on the side and listen."

"...If I'm not interested, I'm not allowed to sit in?"

"That's natural. Why are you sitting on the sidelines if you're not interested? To add to the chaos?"

"Anyway, I'm a partner. Why can't I attend the first business?"

"You just gave out a piece of land, you didn't participate in any construction and management, and you only relied on land dividends. If it weren't for the fact that you are a thousand households in this county, and you have this status to support you, in terms of business, your land is not enough to divide it. So much red?"

"My land is not small." Bai Qing muttered in a low voice, suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I almost forgot, there is indeed something to discuss with Qi Ke at the factory."

"Talk about what?"

"The problem of workers eating."

"Ok?"

"There are three villages across the river. Qi Ke originally planned to bring those three villages along, so that the villagers could raise chickens and ducks to grow vegetables, and the factories could get cheap vegetables and meat nearby."

"Then?"

"I moved on to the negotiation. Then, when it comes to the negotiation, the villagers always overthrow the originally negotiated conditions. The agreement that was negotiated well before signing the contract will turn their faces when it comes out. They always say that we don't pay enough money. It’s not worth it, saying that our officers and soldiers are bullying people.”

"Huh, let's not talk about it." General Bai felt furious when he heard it, "It's fine if you don't know what is good or bad, if you don't want to make money, you can arrange more soldiers to protect the factory. drive them away, or arrest them and send them to the Yamen for a few days.”

"Well, I'm bored too. I've asked the people below to suspend the negotiation. I plan to talk to Qi Ke first before deciding whether to continue." With his father's support, Bai Qing no longer hesitated, "Cunchang Jia has already We are mobilizing ships to Liangshui Town to pick up the goods, as long as we negotiate the price with the owner, the factory will start work at any time, even if the villagers compromise and stop making trouble, there is no time to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks."

"Take advantage of these few days to talk to Qi Ke about the problem of eating, so that she has time to make new arrangements. Instead, you should focus on the safety of the factory. You must send more soldiers there. This winter will not be peaceful, so don't be careless." The general's face became serious as he spoke, and the relaxed atmosphere of the father and son bickering before was gone.

"Is there any new movement for the refugees?" Bai Qing straightened his back nervously when he heard this.

"Yes, there are more and more signs that the refugees are moving towards Donglin County. They all heard that Donglin County has a good harvest and grain for the winter."

Bai Qing suddenly felt a headache.
