Thank you in advance, Mr. Chi. Qi Ke raised his hand with a smile, "That's the case, just this pirate fighting boat, where does Master Qian want to moor this ship?" ”

"You're really suspicious of inquiring about the military." Bai Qing squinted his eyes a little dangerously, his two generals and Cheng Feng and the others cooperated with expressionless faces, and the originally relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table froze on the spot.

"I just want to know if there are any opportunities for private traders to do business near the ship's mooring place."

"Oh?" Bai Qing's threatening aura immediately vanished, and the stagnant atmosphere seemed to have never existed, "If you want to talk about this, then we can talk." ”

"Mr. Qian, there is good news?"

"No, you'll have to tell me first, how are you going to do business with this pirate ship once you know where this pirate ship is moored?" It's not that Bai Qing doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, but that their Bai family army stays in the bitter cold all the year round, asking for money but no money, asking for resources but no resources, except for relying on the military salary allocated by the imperial court, there are few stable ways for the whole army to get extra money, and when it comes to doing business, it is really not as good as Qi Ke's half-tone.

"Let me make a bold guess, that pirate bucket boat will definitely not be able to land in Erma Town, because there is no ready-made dock in the town that can moor a big ship, and it is too late to build one, so many pirates on the ship have to hurry ashore, and the Black Flag Gang will definitely send their men to find it if they lose a bucket boat, and it is dangerous for the ship to stay at sea for an extra day, so Mr. Qian is currently facing the current situation of letting the ship dock as soon as possible."

Bai Qing tilted his head and glared at Cheng Feng, the two generals raised their eyebrows slightly, and Cheng Feng's deputy pretended to be not present.

Cheng Feng looked wronged, "I didn't say anything!" ”

"Well, Mr. Bai really didn't say anything, and this is all a reasonable speculation for me." Qi Ke immediately clarified.

Bai Qing turned his head angrily, and raised his chin to Qi Ke, "You continue." ”

"That bucket boat must be moored to a ready-made dock as soon as possible, I dare to guess again, this falls to the military merits of Donglin County, and Lord Qian does not want to be busy for half a day, and as a result, the boat falls into the hands of colleagues in other counties."

Bai Qing snorted twice, and the others were already nodding their heads again and again, "That's right, how can someone else take the boat that has obviously fallen into our hands." ”

"So, I just want to ask if there is any room for private merchants to enter the mooring place of this bucket boat? Or is it just a temporary location that will be relocated in the future? ”

"Then guess again, where do you think the ship will moor?"

"Then I don't know, I don't know the geography of this county, but this bucket boat is a sea boat, it must not be moored in the inland river, you can only find a coastal wharf, and I fancy this coastal advantage."

"You want to build a civilian dock?"

"No, no, no, I don't have the financial resources to build such a wharf, but if there is still wasteland around the wharf where a warehouse can be built, then I want to enclose a piece of land."

"Warehouse?" Bai Qing's heart moved, and he felt as if he had guessed what Qi Ke wanted to do, "You want to do shipping business?!" You're stretching your foot too far, aren't you? ”

"I just want to open a warehouse, there are enough warehouses to store goods, next to the military dock of the civilian dock, there is no doubt about safety, it will attract passing maritime merchant ships to dock and replenish, if there is the right goods and prices, buyers and sellers are mutually beneficial." Qi Ke paused with a smile, and then made a turn, "However, there is a premise for this, whether this wharf has convenient water transportation or land transportation, which can allow me to get the goods smoothly, and the transportation is inconvenient, I spend money to earn more money, I can't just go in and out, I invest money in the future to earn back several times." ”
