Qi Ke took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on the tip of his nose, and walked all the way over, and the cup of salt and sugar water he drank before going out had already turned into sweat.

"The ledger is here." Putting away the handkerchief, Qi Ke gently placed the ledger under his arm on the table next to Bai Qing.

Bai Qing didn't look at it, he only nodded at Chengfeng, and Chengfeng directly forwarded the account book to the village elder Jiuye.

The old ninth master took it with both hands with a blank face.

"The account has been cleared, and we will not take away the remaining materials, and from now on we will transfer it to the public account of the village, you can use it yourself, if you need to replenish it when you run out, you will come according to the rules, but there will be no more preferential treatment from before."

In the past, the abundance of raw materials was because Qi Ke and Bai Qing had an agreement first, so everything was given priority, but now the follow-up matters of the explosives package have been handed over, so naturally they are no longer qualified to give priority to obtaining iron ore and other military management materials.

"We have seen the test in the morning, and the reason why the barrel is not durable is because the blacksmith's skill is limited, because the power of gunpowder has become greater, but the manufacturing process of the barrel has not kept up. We won't torture your blacksmiths, and the follow-up matters will be handed over to the army, and I will truthfully present to the general to apply for Qi Ke's reward, and at the same time, I don't want to hear any unpleasant remarks from the village. ”

"Yes, don't worry, Mr. Qian, we will pay attention."

"It is her own ability that Qi may get a commendation, and no one in the village will say sour words."

The two village chiefs hurriedly expressed their attitudes, both of them looked happy, there was a meritorious service award in the village, it was the glory of the whole village, and saying it would only provoke the envy of other villages, and the people from other villages couldn't care if they didn't say sour things, and the village definitely didn't.

"The two adults rest assured, there really won't be anyone in the village talking nonsense, they can't be jealous if they want to be jealous, not to mention the gunpowder, just Qi Ke's pig shaving roots and soybean harvest, many people in the village want to plant beans or learn to plant pigs and dig roots during autumn sowing. For the villagers, the ability to use this kind of grain is enough to win the respect of the whole village. The village chief added with a smile.

"Yes, Qi may receive two awards, the locals have been eating wild pigs for many years, and Qi Ke came up with planting as soon as he came, and the yield is still so large, which solves the difficulty of our lack of food."

The output of pig planing roots is so large, after it is reported, it will definitely be promoted by the whole army, whether it is staple food or spare food, border troops like them who are old wars, and they have long had enough of the suffering of not enough food.

Qi Ke's eyebrows were raised, and her heart was shy, one hand of food and one hand of weapons was her advantage in gaining a firm foothold in this world.

With the assurance of the village chiefs, Bai Qing is also relieved, no matter how bad it is, there will still be a seal to take care of.

After they finished talking, Bai Qing took out another purse and handed it to Qi Ke as if he had something else to say, and the two village chiefs took the account book first, and only Cheng Feng was there in the house.

"The villagers of Wenjia Village owe you the money for saving people, and I finally got it back."

"Did you really get it back?" Qi Ke picked up the purse and flipped it in his hand, and found that it was a whole ingot of silver, "You also gave me interest?" ”

"Shouldn't interest accrue after so long? Otherwise, we will compromise if they throw a splash and roll around, won't they make them think that our Bai family army is easy to bully? After all, the Bai family army is one of the twelve border armies, how can it be so weak. ”

"I thought it would be nice to get half of it back." Qi Ke threw the purse in his hand and took it one by one, "It must not be easy to get the money back after so long." ”

"It's okay, wait until I clean them up slowly."

"Huh?"

"Wenjia Village is too close to our section, have they still come to poach in the past few months?"

"I didn't find it, the wolves are in the mountains every day, and they don't behave abnormally." In fact, there are still some, I don't know how many people were injured by throwing so many traps on the border, but this Qi Ke felt that there was no need to tell Bai Qing and Cheng Feng about it.

"It's not good to suddenly become well-behaved, I have no reason to clean them up if they don't make trouble."

"How do you want to clean them up? To what end? ”

"Let them move the whole village and let us take over the land."

"Can it work? It was not part of the area where the Bai family army was stationed. ”

"It's man-made, the local area is mountainous, and the army needs a training camp hidden in the mountains."

"Okay, if it's done, I'll be at ease, and I don't have to remember from time to time if anyone has crossed the border to my mountains and forests to dig wild vegetables and hunt."

Qi Ke felt that the excuse of the training camp was really good, but Wenjia Village was a village where families lived, and how to move people away was a problem, but it was not Qi Ke's turn to worry about it.
