Chapter 959 Getting ready to go to the factory ([-])
After Qi Ke finished his breakfast, he sat down to digest his food. By the way, he recalled the whole night's study and practice process, and realized belatedly that the factory was about to start work. Does he, the boss, have to go to the factory to sit in charge?Training women workers to supervise production?

When Zhaolin came back from handling the chores outside, Qi Ke told her about it, and Zhaolin unsurprisingly said that it was very necessary, even if she wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, she had to wait for the factory to get on the right track before she could get out.

"Alright, I can move around a bit more freely when I'm outside."

"Yes."

"Before we leave, we have to arrange for a second housekeeper to take care of the chores."

"Should be."

Appointing another second housekeeper is a very simple matter. They are all indiscriminate assistants. The floor plan of Zhuangzi is projected in the photo. The maids who are active in the village are small red dots on the screen. Second housekeeper.

"Okay, let's invite the two village chiefs to talk, and recognize them."

"Ok."

Lao Ninth Master and Lu Chen soon came to Zhuangzi. They both knew that if Qi Ke had anything to discuss, he would go directly to Lao Jiu Master's house. It was rare for her to invite someone to come over for an interview. Chang put down what he was doing and came, without making Qi Ke wait too long.

In the reception hall, Qi Ke explained everything that should be said to the two village chiefs. The two village chiefs were stunned for a long time before they gradually came back to their senses. They grabbed some cold tea and moistened their throats.

"You're really good at doing great things without making a sound." The two village chiefs didn't know what to say, smiling on their faces, but couldn't help shaking their heads.

"Military production business should be kept secret, and dare not tell anyone. This is just in time, and I will go to the factory to take charge of production and management. There are many people in the village. Both men and women like to talk about the family's shortcomings. It's not good. Speaking outside, I only invited the two village chiefs to come to my place for secret talks."

Qi Ke pulled Baiqing's banner to make tiger skins, misleading the two village chiefs into thinking that the textile factory had no other shareholders besides Bai Jiajun.

"Okay, don't worry, just do things with peace of mind outside, we are in the village." The two village chiefs were really fooled, and they nodded readily in response.

"Then let's make up a reason to cover my whereabouts. When the villagers find out that I haven't been in the village for a long time, someone will definitely ask."

"That's simple. Let's say that at the end of the year, the business in the county requires you to be in charge. It just so happens that everything in the village is peaceful, and there is nothing to worry about, so just leave." Lu Chen is younger than the ninth master, and his mind is turning quickly.

"Yes, the village will talk about it for a few days at most, and no one will mention it after you leave for a long time."

"Okay." Qi Ke also thinks that this reason is good, both true and false, and highly credible, "Does the village want cotton? After I go to the factory, I will definitely be able to buy cotton at a cheaper price. If the village wants it, count it. Give me a total."

"Oh, this is good!" Lao Ninth Master and Lu Chen both laughed happily, "The price of cotton this year has really gone up terribly."

"Old Ninth Master, Uncle Chen, don't be too happy, this is cotton from overseas, don't forget, the imperial court charges [-]% of the tax, so the price of cotton I can get won't be cheap, but it's sure It’s a little cheaper than the current seven taels of silver per load in the county.”

"[-]% tax?! So much?" Old Ninth Master and Lu Chen looked at each other in blank dismay. If it wasn't for Qi Ke's reminder, neither of them knew that the imperial court imposed a [-]% tax on overseas goods.
