"Okay, don't think about taxes when you talk, just talk about the price, don't care about anything else, whether it's tax or not is something I consider, we have so many people in the Baijia army, and the cotton clothes and quilts allocated by the court have never been abundant, and now we are stationed in the East China Sea, which is much better than before, and we can get the military supplies we want from overseas businessmen, so we don't reach out to the court to ask for it."

"Anyway, the imperial court can't supply it." Bai Qing naturally took a mouthful, and when he was still on the northern border, such complaints hung on everyone's lips almost every day.

"If the yarn farm you and Qi Ke cooperate with can start work, I will also allocate some cotton down, and sell it to private businessmen for some money after producing cotton yarn."

"Hmm......" Bai Qing thought for a while and nodded slowly, "It seems to be okay, if we can negotiate with the cargo ship and have a stable supply, we soldiers and military households don't have to grab this batch of cotton, and it will be too late to wait for the next batch." ”

"Yes, that's what everybody meant."

"Then how to calculate the price of my yarn farm to produce cotton yarn for you?"

"That's what I'll talk to Qi Ke, if you're interested, I'll allow you to sit on the side and listen."

“…… If I'm not interested, I'm not allowed to sit in? ”

"That's natural, why are you not interested in sitting on the sidelines? Coming to make trouble? ”

"I'm a partner, why can't I audit the first business?"

"You just have a piece of land, do not participate in any construction and operation, purely rely on land dividends, if it weren't for the fact that you are a thousand households in this county, and you have this identity to support you, really according to business, is your land enough to share so much red?"

"My land is not small." Bai Qing muttered quietly, coldly remembering one thing, "By the way, I almost forgot, there is indeed something to talk to Qi Ke about in the factory." "Classic

"What are you talking about?"

"The problem of the workers eating."

"Huh?"

"There are three villages across the river, and Qi Ke originally planned to drive those three villages together, so that the villagers can raise chickens and ducks and grow vegetables, and the factory can also get cheap vegetables and meat nearby."

"And then?"

"I followed the negotiation, and then, when it came to the fact that it was not negotiated now, the villagers always overturned the originally negotiated terms, and turned their faces when the first-class contract that was negotiated before signing the contract was taken out, saying that it was not cost-effective for us to give less money, and that our officials and soldiers were bullying people."

"Hmph, let's not talk about it then." General Bai felt angry when he heard it, "I don't know what to do, if you don't want to make money, forget it, you arrange more soldiers to protect the workshop, once someone crosses the river to make trouble, either drive it away with a big stick, or arrest it and send it to the yamen for a few days." ”

"Well, I'm also annoyed, I've already asked the people below to suspend the negotiation, and I plan to talk to Qi Ke first before deciding whether to continue." With his father's support, Bai Qing no longer hesitated, "Village Chief Jia is already mobilizing ships to pick up goods in Liangshui Town, as long as the price is negotiated with the owner, the factory can start at any time, even if the villagers compromise and don't make trouble, it will be too late to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks." ”

"On the issue of eating, you should take advantage of the past few days to tell Qi Ke, she has time to re-arrange, you change to focus on the safety of the workshop, you must send more soldiers over, this winter will not be peaceful, don't be careless." General Bai's face became serious as he spoke, and the relaxed atmosphere of the father and son arguing before was gone.

"What's new for the homeless?" Bai Qing straightened his back nervously when he heard this.

"Yes, there are more and more signs that the displaced people are moving in the direction of Donglin County, and they have all heard that Donglin County has a bumper harvest and grain for the winter."

Bai Qing suddenly felt a headache.
