The word agricultural and mineral resources, Bai Qing stared at the word mine, took the letter and immediately went to his father to discuss, and then the old general also joined in.

The most important thing for military supplies is that in addition to food, weapons require a large amount of iron ore, the supply of the imperial court is insufficient, and the border armies in the southeast, northwest, and northwest are short of weapons.

"Don't get excited, it's not easy to traffic a large amount of ore from one country to another, and ore is an important resource in any country, and it is much more difficult than selling cotton and grain." After the move, the old man was the first to calm down, "The letter also said that the other party will not consider the ore business until a long-term relationship of mutual trust and mutual benefit is established, which shows that the other party is also cautious, we remain optimistic for the time being, and do the things in front of us first, step by step." ”

General Bai and Bai Qing didn't think for long, nodded with deep sympathy, and then turned the topic to discuss the price of cotton and grain, Ma Zhiwen made it very clear in the letter, it was all three years of supply price, the price has been to the end, there is no room to reduce the price, the captain would rather lose business.

If the price of domestic cotton production falls in the future, the price of overseas cotton will obviously be expensive, but fortunately, General Bai has interviewed Qi Ke in advance, and the quality of this batch of cotton from overseas is first-class, and it is normal for the price to be higher.

Bai Jiajun has been poor for so many years, it is rare to see a little opportunity to make money and earn military expenses, General Bai naturally does not want to give up, plus Bai Jiajun actually only has a piece of land, the factory from construction to operation is Qi Ke's personal funding, if the business is not done, she is the one who has no return, young girls are not afraid of taking risks, and they are a big general who hesitates to look forward and look backwards, which will inevitably make people laugh. 2020

After the three generations of the father and son discussed it, they decided to accept the price, and Bai Qing immediately went back to the house to write a reply to Ma Zhiwen and sent the money to buy cotton.

The ship transferred by the village chief Jia to transport the goods had already arrived, and the captain of the ocean could unload the goods as soon as he received the money, so early the next morning, Bai Qing wrote a note asking Qi Ke's maid to hand it over and ask her to arrange the workshop, and General Bai also wrote back to Dong'an Mansion to ask if the tea was ready.

The currencies of various countries are different, and the silver of their own countries is not used to bring back to their own countries for foreign merchant ships, and they are all buying other goods on the spot, so the silver ticket is passed in the captain's hand and kept to pay for the tea.

Qi Ke received the note and began to prepare generously, the number of people in the Women's and Infant Hall began to be counted, and the people who came out packed their luggage and waited for departure.

The women in the Women's and Baby's Hall all know that Qi Ke's textile factory wants female workers, this is not hidden from them, and even a means to motivate them to study hard, only those who learn well and quickly have the opportunity to be team leaders, promoted and raised.

Although they are maids who have signed a death contract, Qi Ke has never thought about squeezing their labor, and the wages are paid, but they are just new to the workshop, and the grades are all apprentices, with a salary of 300 Wen, and it depends on whether they work hard.
