Chapter 641: Engaging in New Construction (2)
Bai Qing, who was relaxed in the village for two days, picked up the official duties he had thrown away before, and almost gritted his teeth to accept the high-priced grain given by the Cao family's merchants, immediately dispelled his thoughts, and sent the grain and grass officer to Jia Ji Boat Company to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
Qi Ke and Zhaolin released this news to attract Bai Jiajun to buy grain from Jia Ji, otherwise what would she do with hoarding so much grain, sooner or later she would have to sell it, and selling it to acquaintances who can provide a certain amount of shelter will naturally be more beneficial.
The grain and grass officer rushed to Jia Ji Boat Company, verified the true news, and smoothly negotiated the business, signed a grain purchase contract at a much cheaper price than Cao's, and went back happily to resume his life.
Bai Qing listened to the grain and grass officer's reply that the grain had to be transported by water from Nanyang County, and was angry at the inaction of the former East China Sea Border Army, and actually allowed the sediment to accumulate in the waterway like a lifeline, otherwise the grain could be sent directly to the camp quietly without being known to any outsiders.
After the autumn grain is harvested, he must recruit displaced people to dredge the river and repair the wharf for him.
The grain and grass officer knew Bai Qing's thoughts, and decided to go to Jia Ji Boat Company tomorrow to pay the deposit, and by the way, make an appointment to buy autumn grain, no matter how much, as long as he can sell them a little.
The merchants of the Cao family were naturally unhappy that they failed to sign the business of the Bai family, but they themselves knew that the price was too high, and they simply took advantage of the lack of food in the Bai family army to deliberately raise the price to slaughter the wronged man, but they didn't expect that the wronged boss would not play, and they didn't know that Jia Ji Boat Company had pried their business.
In any case, this business that they thought they would achieve was ruined, and the Cao family could only go home.
Later that day, Qi Ke learned from Zhaolin that the shipping company had signed a grain purchase contract with Bai Jiajun, and nodded, and the matter was over.
Zhao Lin also told Qi Ke by the way that Liu Yishu had already packed her luggage and sent her into the mountain on a mule early tomorrow morning.
Qi Ke felt that it was strange and hard for a pregnant woman in the late stage of pregnancy to ride a mule on a mountain road, and ordered Zhaolin to let the maids take care of it so that no accidents would happen.
Early the next morning, when Qi Ke was exercising in the Qianhe Realm, Liu Yishu was surrounded by four maids, riding a big mule to the orphanage along the mountain road steadily, followed by a mule team transporting supplies, and she would live in the orphanage for the next few months, and after the child was half a year old, she would return to the village as a female master bought by Qi Ke.
Ding Lin and they stayed in the village for seven or eight days in order to learn a comprehensive rabbit raising skill, which was not so long, but Zhou Lanchun came to the village.
She is smart, as soon as she arrived in the county, she went straight to Jia Ji Boat to inquire about Qi Ke's situation, mainly to ask her if she had gone out so as not to make a fool of herself, and learned that Ding Lin and they were also in the village, so she carried simple luggage to Siliu Village with the boat, and the slave maid and a large amount of luggage she brought this time were handed over to the soldiers of the military post to take to Qianhu to settle down.
Zhou Lanchun rushed to Siliu Village and saw Qi Ke's first thing was to dispense medicine, she had been late for many days, the medicine dispensed to her last time was a month's amount, there was no more, and the face soap was almost used up, she had been worried about recurrence, but the family did not let go, seeing that her face had the hope of healing, she had to press her to arrange family affairs at home, counting the time to prepare for the marriage, it was just enough for her to completely cure her face for half a year, and finally persuaded the support of her father, who rarely went home, to run away with her personal subordinates.
