Qi Ke just smiled, his eyes fixed on General Bai. We have put on a posture of not giving in.

General Bai was not angry at all, Qi Ke had a clear plan, and took advantage of the great opportunity of overseas merchant ships to come to Liangshui Town to make a money-making plan, and the action was so fast, it can be seen that the plan had already been made, and the female gentleman was ready early in the morning.

This kind of temperament makes General Bai really happy, who doesn't need a person who can do practical things, it's a pity that it's a girl, otherwise it's good to be trained and trained under the Qian Food Officer to succeed in the future.

"You really can't get a pack?"

"I'm sorry, General, but this business is not mine, and I have to protect the interests of my partners. Moreover, 10,000 bales of cotton is also a lot, the yarn rate of cotton yarn has a rough ratio of 90% off, 100 catties of cotton out of 90 catties of cotton yarn, 10,000 bales of cotton is 1 million catties of cotton, 900,000 catties of cotton yarn General has thought about how to deal with it? Qi Ke gambled that the two big men present didn't know this detail of the textile at all, and wanting to occupy more cotton was nothing more than being poor for too long and raising a poor disease, and he wanted to grab some materials in his hands first.

"Nine hundred thousand catties?" Hearing this number, the father and son of the Bai family were relieved, and they felt as if they were okay.

"One pound of cotton is enough to make an adult's cotton jacket, but if you make a cotton tire to make a quilt, it is three pounds to beat a pound, and it costs thirty pounds of cotton to make a ten pound winter quilt. Because the weaving workshop has not been built now, there are cotton yarn shipments, and when the new factory is built, and a large amount of cotton yarn is still wanted, it depends on whether the fleet can increase the supply. ”

"We are interested in talking to the merchant ship about long-term supply."

"I know that Village Chief Jia is grinding prices with their captains, and the tax can't be reduced, so I can only hope to negotiate a long-term supply price to minimize the cost of cotton purchases." Qi Ke rubbed his chin, "But in fact, the imperial court knows about tax evasion, and the officials of Dong'an Mansion should be proficient in this, falsifying in the accounts, filling in less goods and prices, and easily making a tax, the imperial court naturally can't put too much power for the sake of treasury revenue, otherwise the treasury will have to lose even this piece of tax." "Chasing the text

Qi Ke can figure out what General Bai can't understand, but as a first-class general of the imperial court, he should have enough posture so that he won't fall into the hands of others, otherwise the pen of the civil official will be enough for people to drink a pot.

"You know a lot."

"There's no way, in order to find a source of goods for the factory, I naturally know a little more."

"Based on these 10,000 bales of cotton, if you are given 5,000 bales of cotton yarn for production, how long will it take to deliver it?"

"At present, there are only 20 water-powered spinning wheels in the workshop, and this kind of yarn truck produces about 100 catties of yarn day and night, that is, a bag of cotton is spun in a day and night."

The water-powered spinning car is the optimal design given according to the existing conditions, and the production efficiency is definitely more than one hundred catties of yarn a day and night, and it will be higher if it is operated by skilled workers.

"Five thousand bales of cotton and twenty spinning wheels to share the production, this has to be ......" General Bai pinched his fingers, "Eight months?!" ”

"General, don't worry, I just said that there are twenty spinning wheels, and when I make money, I will definitely increase the number of spinning wheels, and it is impossible to deliver them in eight months, so I can't produce my own goods, and the village can't get the dividends it deserves, what else can I do?"
