Qi Ke pinched his fingers and remembered an unconfirmed folk saying that the outbreak cycle of infectious diseases is about once every ten or twenty years.

"Since I have suffered from the epidemic, while reminding the villagers to exterminate the rats, I will also release these words to evoke everyone's memories, otherwise I bet that someone will definitely bring voles home to eat." Qi Ke said.

"That's right, while reminding everyone to exterminate rodents, we must emphasize the dangers of plague." Cheng Feng agreed, "When I return to the town, I will send another official document to the villages, and we must pay attention to it, in case the plague occurs at this time, it will be no less than a catastrophe for us." ”

Because the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, once an outbreak of the epidemic could only fend for itself.

Everyone present held these words in their hearts.

"Controlling the rodent infestation is a long-term battle, and it is not easy to get rid of rats once they appear, so let's not be scared to death by rats." Qi Ke took out a hand-drawn simple map from his arms, "I think it's better for us to pay attention to the new business first, I wonder if Mr. Qian has changed his mind?" ”

"Change what? Why don't you do a business that makes money? Don't change. Bai Qing stretched out his hand to take the drawing, and pouted twice at the simple painting style, "Why do I feel that this terrain seems to be a little familiar?" ”

Qi Ke shrugged her shoulders slightly, she didn't answer the question, she planned to let Bai Qing find out about the connection with the tributary of the water system where the wharf of the thousand households was located.

"It's not a small land." General Mu Shen glanced at it and asked for the drawings, "Does the weaving workshop need such a large piece of land?" ”

"Of course, starting from the spinning machine, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and finished quilting, these four links are indispensable, so a large enough land is needed to build them in turn. If all the production links are in our hands and concentrated in a certain place, the main energy can only be focused on how to buy cotton and linen raw materials in large quantities, and other production and transportation are circulated on the same land, and the cost will be very low. Qi Ke made a gesture of pressing his hand down to show that the cost had been reduced again and again.

"Well......" Even if you don't understand production and operation, Qi Ke explained it like this, at least the men present listened to the four words cost reduction.

"So you admit to the land? Not anywhere else? Bai Qing took the drawing back, flicked his fingers on the paper a few times, and smiled in his eyes.

"Anyway, at the moment I'm only looking for this piece of land that satisfies me, and it seems like it's a bit wasteful to build a factory, but we have to think about the good thing, what if our business is good and we want to expand production? There must always be spare land to build a new factory, right? Of course, it is best to build together, save costs, we are poor now, every cent of the cost must be controlled, and no waste is allowed. ”

"What is the state of the land now? A complete wasteland? Are there any landlords? Bai Qing was aroused by Qi Ke's description, a penny is difficult for a hero, and the army can't do it without money.

Qi Ke took two steps forward and stood in front of Bai Qing, stretching out his hand to gesture on the drawing.

"Here, there is a village on the other side of the river, and the situation I asked the villagers is that there is no landlord in that wasteland, it has been deserted for decades, and there have been landslides before, and such a large piece of land is made up of mud and rocks from the landslide."

"I see, if it's ownerless wasteland, then the land price will be very low......," Bai Qing rubbed his chin, "Maybe I can really afford it, buy it in the name of a thousand households, and I can lower the price again." ”
