delicious little cook

Chapter 1138
Gu Yun and the others quarreled with each other, and Bai Kou also waited for a visitor from the Ministry of War at home, the head of the Armory Department and Master Huang Weian who had been in contact with her all the time.

Bai Kou dressed neatly and went to the main hall in the front yard to meet guests.

"Master Huang, all blessings."

"Boss Bai."

After the two parties briefly greeted each other, the host and guest were seated again.

Master Huang sat upright, and he didn't want to be polite to Bai Kou, so he told Bai Kou one thing first.

"This morning, the Shi family of Feizhou submitted a memorial and entrusted a censor to make a statement, confessing his disloyalty, filial piety, and women's morals, and his desire for wealthy women to interfere in politics, and suing Gu Yun for pampering wicked women."

"...Oh." Bai Kou blinked, took a deep breath, without any surprised expression, calm, "Master Xie Huang told. It is a mediocrity not to be envied by others. The Shi family in the capital is a branch of the Shi family in Feizhou. I am alone." Minnie, how can it be worthwhile for Shi Shi of Feizhou to sue me? It is just to sue Gu Yun for my crimes. Only by hurting him can he hurt me, otherwise Shi Shi of Feizhou can only watch me take the capital step by step. The Shi family's territory is slowly being eaten away, and get out of the imperial business circle."

"Boss Bai really has this idea?"

"It wasn't originally, but since Mr. Huang brought this news, I have to think about it. The cotton business of the Shi family in the capital has always been dyed cloth. Before I made yarn-dyed cloth, there was never any contact with me." For the same kind of cloth, the technical standards are unprecedented for the first time. I enjoy completely independent intellectual property rights. The technical requirements for dyed cloth and yarn-dyed cloth are completely different. The hatchbacks are not next to each other. Where did such a big hatred come from? Is yarn-dyed fabric their patent? If so, why haven’t they brought it out? Mingming yarn-dyed fabric is more expensive than dyed fabric because of the complicated process, and the profit will be considerable in comparison , Isn't it a fool if you don't make money if you have money? Master Huang, don't you think so?" Bai Kou smiled slightly.

Huang Weian carefully observed Bai Kou's expression, trying to see her true feelings, but found that there was no flaw to be found. He did not expect such a young girl to have such a city, but the grievance dispute between Bai Kou and the Shi family It had nothing to do with the Ministry of War, so Huang Weian let it go decisively.

"Boss Bai is too modest. On the surface, it seems that your business and the Shi family's business do not conflict, but the textile machines used in your textile factory are not ordinary goods. They can be produced as usual during the dry winter season. The secret weapon? How many people are coveted? The production speed is so fast. During the one-month business war in summer, the entire textile circle was frightened by Boss Bai's menacing approach, and even the weavers were lost. It’s always been fun, the Shi family has only filed a complaint until now, but it’s because the capital and Feizhou are far away, if the distance was closer, the lawsuit would have been filed long ago.”

"Just sue, what are you afraid of them? If the weaving households are lost, can they still guarantee the original production capacity? Can the imperial court take over the Dadan Shi family? It is said that the Shi family in the capital has developed to the present since they moved. It is already a big family with a large population, and there are more than a dozen grandchildren of the youngest generation alone. Unfortunately, so far, only three scholars have been produced, and no one has been promoted. Moreover, because the family makes money so easily, it is almost lying down to make money , I have never worried about what to do if I lose my livelihood one day? As a result, I neglected the discipline of the children, and there were not many seeds for studying, but there were a lot of dudes who ate, drank and had fun, and there were several conflicts over production. What is so terrible about a family with no successors?"

Bai Kou talked eloquently. Of course, this kind of information came from Hua Qingyu. In the morning, he sent some information on the basic situation of the family. The black history is still being dug deep. It is quite easy to dig up scandals if the descendants are not up to date.

"Boss Bai has inquired about the Shi family quite clearly."

"After all, you are now a competitor in the textile industry. Knowing yourself and your enemy is also a kind of respect for your opponent. Isn't there a saying that the people who know you best are not your relatives and friends, but your enemies. Only enemies will plan hard dig deep into all your secrets."

"Boss Bai is so insightful."

"Master Huang, thank you."

"Honestly speaking, the Ministry of War is not interested in the business dispute between Mr. Bai and the Shi family. We just ask that the order placed by the merchant can be accepted and delivered on time. In the past few months, Mr. Bai's side has been more powerful. One chip."

"Master Huang, does this mean that the business of the Ministry of War will be transferred to us in the future?"

"No way, the Shi family confessed to the president and Gu Yun, and secretly sued our Ministry of War. Women meddling in politics? What a joke! Their Shi family is so stupid, why should the Ministry of War stick to their cold asses? It's different now It's the past, Boss Bai, don't you think so?"

Bai Kou smiled happily, Huang Weian had made it very clear that the Ministry of War was on her side.

"If the Shi family doesn't report this situation, all parties will maintain that bit of face, and your main business is different. We buyers buy according to what we need. It is clear that the situation of well water does not violate the river water, but it has become like this , I still want to put a hat on the head of our Ministry of War, if that is the case, let’s take two shots, and each walks its own Yangguan road single-plank bridge.” Huang Weian was sincerely moved.

"Master Huang said this on behalf of the Ministry of War?"

"It is right now. With the production capacity of your textile factory, it is not impossible to directly replace the Shi family. As for the future, we will talk about it later."

"I also ask Mr. Huang to make it clear that it is so ambiguous that it is difficult for me to make future production plans. This will definitely affect our cooperative relationship."

"Boss Bai wrote that plan with great care." Huang Weian smiled, took a few sips from his teacup, and changed the subject.

"I don't dare to be careless about the tasks assigned by the Ministry of War. Besides, Gu Yun is an imperial merchant. With his big Buddha, I certainly want to use his power to do business."

"Of course, of course, we fully understand and admire Mr. Bai's enthusiasm for doing business, and we can fully feel your intentions. If we guessed correctly, the model of the proposal is United Farms, right?"

"See it?"

"Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, deputy fishery, industry and commerce, and the seven major items are all corresponding in the United Farm. In order to write this plan, Mr. Bai revealed all the old facts to us."

"It is my pleasure to let limited land produce unlimited wealth. If I don't want to make money with a thousand acres of land and a population of more than 5000 people, how can I support so many people?"

"The Ministry of War's initial motivation was only for the magnesium rod, but Mr. Bai gave such a big gift. Isn't this really over-intentional?"

"Does the Ministry of War want to confirm my suspicious motives for being so attentive?"

"Could Boss Bai make it clear?"

"It's very simple. When the Ministry of War has money, can the military apportionment from taxes be cancelled?"

"Ah?!" Huang Weian was stunned, brainstorming for the past few days, but no one mentioned this point.

"Master Huang is not ignorant of the burden of various apportionments, right? The taxes paid by our joint farm are also very considerable, and it should be paid properly. Those apportionments, beware of public grievances."

"This..." Huang Weian showed embarrassment.

"I know that the reason for apportionment is that the regular tax collected is less and less enough for the court's expenditure, so the apportionment of tax is coincidentally established, but the consequences of this practice of drinking poison to quench thirst are clearly recorded in history books, but taking history as a mirror, and How many people can do it?"

"Boss Bai, this is a bit serious." Huang Weian kindly reminded.

Bai Kou smiled slightly, she didn't intend to be entangled in this, but she just rushed to talk, and said a few more words on this point.

"So, if the Ministry of War's self-operated business starts, and the Ministry of War has money, at least there is no reason to collect taxes on the apportionment of military expenses. Master Huang, what do you think?"

"I can't say anything about tax collection, but the truth is indeed the truth."

"So, I showed the Ministry of War the old bottom. I hope you can be more confident and make good use of the advantage of millions of military households. The military is burning money, but the treasury has no money. Once there is something big that needs money, it will be demolished." The east wall pays for the west wall, and even a little bit of military expenditure is not enough for this kind of poor life? There is never a shortage of short-sighted and incompetent people in the government and the opposition. It can be called like the sky is falling, how often does the Ministry of War depend on other people's faces? Isn't it because a penny stumps a hero?"

Huang Weian couldn't help thinking of those military expenses, sneered and shook his head.

"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to support our military department so much at such a young age. Thank you very much."

"After all, I'm just a small businessman. Doing business requires a peaceful and stable environment. The reason why we ordinary people can groan and recite a few words when we are full is because of the military guarding the four borders. To stop the invasion of foreign enemies and defend the country, you are naturally entitled to corresponding rewards for your hard work. For example, when the Ministry of War has money in the future, it should be several times the pension on the current basis, right? ?”

Huang Weian chuckled and nodded repeatedly.

"Bai Boss is so frank, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family who has made great contributions to the dragon, after all, he is his own person who is easy to talk about."

Bai Kou immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, her own person, these three words are very valuable, and it is worthwhile for her to write such a thick proposal.

"Since Bai is always on his own and supports the Ministry of War so much, would you like to do more business with the Ministry of War?"

"Master Huang, please make it clear."

"Boss Bai knows that the long-distance transportation of military resources will cause losses, right?"

"I know that any material will suffer various losses during long-distance transportation."

"And Mr. Bai wrote in the plan that the factory will be built directly at the raw material origin to shorten the transportation distance of materials, right?"

Bai Kou froze for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

"The Ministry of War wants to build its own textile factory?"

"The military has farmed the fields for so many years, and there are still plenty of land suitable for growing high-quality cotton. Boss Bai's textile factory can produce normally during the dry winter season, and it doesn't rely entirely on water power. It's really itchy. Further cooperation from the Ministry of War?"

"How to cooperate?"

"It's easy to build a factory, but we don't have talents. From workers to managers, we can't find any qualified talents. Can Mr. Bai help us train the necessary talents?"

"Then what benefits do I have? After the talents are cultivated, the Ministry of War has built its own textile factory, and the rewards I have received in the past few years are only a few big orders, so I am not at a big loss?"

"Of course, of course, we also know that this dialogue is always unfair, so just ask for anything in return."

"Since I need to work hard, I want to take a [-]% stake in the self-operated business of the Ministry of War in the name of the United Farm, and sign the contract in the name of the Ministry of War. I will share [-]% of the overall profit of the Ministry of War every year."

Bai Kou's mind was spinning extremely fast, and he wanted to make a big profit when he opened his mouth. Huang Weian's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment.
