Then, the village chief Jia asked the captain a very important question, whether this offer was tax-included.

The goods brought by overseas merchant ships are heavily taxed, and the value of the goods is fifty percent.

The eighteen thousand five hundred bales of cotton, according to the captain's quotation, were worth seventy-four thousand taels, and the fifty percent tax was thirty-seven thousand taels.

After the interpreter translated the book, the captain smiled slightly, shook his head, and said that the quotation did not include tax, and no matter how much tax was charged, it would be added to the price as it was.

The wool comes out of the sheep, and it seems that the tax paid by the owner will be passed on to the buyer, so each bag of cotton will be added two taels more, reaching six taels of silver and one hundred catties.

Captain Jia and Ma Zhiwen exchanged opinions, Ma Zhiwen couldn't help but take a breath when he heard the price after the tax increase, but he still nodded in response, no matter what, this batch of goods can't be lost, how to talk about it and hand it over to the above.

After the two sides exchanged a few words of greetings again, Ma Zhiwen said goodbye, and the captain generously gave each of them a pound of cotton as a gift.

A pound of cotton is enough to make an adult's padded jacket, this gift is really generous, the four of them smiled and thanked each other, and got off the boat with their things.

On the return trip, Village Chief Jia drove back to his temporary residence in Liangshui Town alone to write a letter, while Ma Zhiwen went back to the camp to write a military document as soon as possible, and asked the herald to pack up and go to Donglin County.

Qi Ke, who was far away in Siliu Village, saw the live broadcast and saw that it was over, and he didn't look any further, and then he sent the letter step by step, waiting for the news to be delivered, and the gossip slowly spread.

"Now the converted price is a pack of four taels of silver, between four taels and two taels of six silver, let's see how Bai Jiajun bargains." Qi Ke finalized the minimum shipping price of two or two, but if the price that Bai Jiajun finally accepted was not so low, he would naturally be happy to earn a little more.

"Eighteen thousand five hundred packets, we keep eight thousand five for ourselves, and the Bai family army may eat all the remaining ten thousand packs, leaving nothing extra for friends and merchants."

"Friends can't eat a hand, so they eat second-hand, buy cotton from you, and they can also eat cotton yarn." Zhaolin changed a pot of warm boiled water for Qi Ke, and then poured a cup and put it in her hand.

Qi Ke wants 8,005 mainly for the yarn field, but the 850,000 catties are not all put into the yarn field, and some of them have to be taken out for retail.

Twenty water-powered spinning trucks run non-stop all day, 400,000 catties of cotton is enough for two months of production Qi Ke didn't know, she took small sips of warm boiled water, wondering whether to keep 45 or 500,000 catties, otherwise the ocean has not yet sent the second batch of goods to the factory will be out of material and stop production.

Qi Ke and Zhaolin discussed what was going on at hand, and found that there was still a piece of land that had not been finalized, and the site of the new wharf of Jia Ji Boat Company was selected.

The abandoned village that I fancied before sent a deputy to explore the geological landform, and the feedback results were quite satisfactory, the whole village was affected by the flood and had to abandon their homes to flee, from the analysis of the ruins, it may be due to the collapse of the embankment, the village itself is very livable, because the deputies found a lot of generations of tombs, which must be at least more than 100 years or more than 200 years old.

The village is a good village, but it costs a lot of money to build infrastructure.
