"You don't know?"

"I really don't know this, there was only a big salt lake in the place where the Bai family army used to garrison, and there was a large area of saline-alkali land around, and there was no mutual market to do business with foreigners, so this is the first time we have heard that the imperial court wants to collect so many taxes." Old Ninth Master shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"If calculated in this way, the price of Bai Jiajun eating this batch of cotton itself is very expensive, so is there still any profit?" Lu Chen was worried.

"There is a lot of money, the quality of cotton is very high, you can make high-end grey cloth, there will be rich people who are not bad at any time in this world, they have seen many good things, know the goods, and are willing to pay for the good things that are worth their money."

"If it's really a good thing, then it's expensive."

"I'll show you a sample, in order to talk about business, the owner gave a little sample, and you will know what is a peerless cotton at a glance."

Zhaolin, who was waiting on the side, bowed slightly, opened the door and went out as if to get a sample, but in fact, he went back to Qianhe Realm to get cotton along the entrance and exit of Qi Ke's open spiritual realm, and the cotton sample given by the captain of the Ocean Ship did not reach Qi Ke's hand.

Estimating the time it would take to walk back and forth in the courtyard, he pushed the door in with a tray and put a bag of snow-white fluffy things like white clouds on the tray.

The eyes of the two village chiefs who had been staring at her from the moment Zhao Lin entered the door were straight, and their eyes moved with Zhao Lin's footsteps, as if glue was sticking, and they didn't move their eyes for a moment until the tray was placed in front of them.

"Oh my God, this is cotton from overseas?!"

"You touch it, it feels pretty good." Clouds

"Oh, my hands are dirty, this snow-white lump, how can it be good if it's dirty." The old ninth master rubbed his rough palms.

"My hands are rougher, and I can't tell if it's good or bad." Lu Chen's movements were the same as the old ninth master.

"But no, no wonder I heard that the embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop never does rough work with her hands, except for taking needles and threads, she must take care of her hands at other times, otherwise it will ruin good materials. When I saw this lump of cotton today, I realized that it was true, and how soft the cloth woven from this cotton yarn was, and anyone with rough hands would scratch the cloth. The old ninth master said with emotion.

"Such a good cotton, a little more expensive is a little more expensive."

"That's it, since it's such cotton, it must be earned."

Seeing the cotton, the two village chiefs somewhat believed that this business was profitable, and then the topic turned to what to do with her small business when Qi Ke was not in the village, at this time Qi Ke pulled out the second housekeeper, and when she and Zhao Lin were not in the village, the affairs of the Zhuangzi were handled by the second housekeeper, and the small business would continue as usual, and it would not affect the normal life of the villagers.

At the same time, Qi Ke also bluntly told the two village chiefs that she had invested the 1,000 taels of silver in the village account, and if the business in the workshop went well, the 1,000 taels would soon be earned back with interest, and when she earned the money, she would build a clinic and a school for the village.

The clinic and the school are urgently needed in the village, and when Qi Ke said that he used the money earned from the public account to build this, Lao Jiu Ye and Lu Chen both gave a thumbs up, resolutely supported, and said that they would choose a site in the village first, and wait for Qi Ke to come back a year ago to discuss.

Qi Ke asked them to keep it secret first, after all, the matter has not been done yet, and if the big words cannot be fulfilled, the prestige of the three village chiefs will be wiped off.

Lao Jiu Ye and Lu Chen naturally said that everything was fine, and they all came according to what Qi Ke said.

Of course, Qi Ke didn't leave so quickly, she would stay for a few days to sort out the orders for the order fair.
