Chapter 1342 The Order Meeting in Siliu Village ([-])
"So, it's our blessing that this kind of ocean-going fleet that looks low-key and powerful can come to Liangshui Town. They are willing to do business with us, and it's not surprising that they make any strange requests. The strength of their fleet depends on Here, it is doomed to only deal with merchants of the same level. What you can’t do is that some people line up behind. If you want to be on an equal footing with the other party, you have to work hard. Besides, the strength and experience gained during this process are all my own. Great, I’m not bad either. Right?” Qi Ke deftly picked up the kettle on the small stove next to him and poured water into the teapot in front of him, covered it for a while and then poured it into the justice cup.

"That's right. If there is interest, people will come here one after another. If there is no profit, others will leave early."

The three gentlemen put their teacups on the tray one after another, and waited for Qi Ke to divide the tea before taking them away.

"Oh, that's right." Lao Jiu took a sip of the rich tea, tasted it comfortably, and remembered something, "I took a casual look earlier, and there seemed to be something made of iron besides the cow, and many people didn't see it clearly. .”

"Oh, that's a heating stove." Qi Ke straightforwardly introduced the business of the heating stove, and asked Lao Jiuye to ask if anyone is interested in the village, "You can just buy coal. New fuel, if you have enough money in your pocket, if you are willing to try something new, come and try it, who knows what will happen to these minerals next year, if the capital remembers the importance of minerals and takes back the mineral rights, it may not be easy to burn coal."

"Well, that's true." Old Ninth Master nodded slowly, "Then let me make some news first, and anyone who is interested can come here to buy."

"Hey, the world is in trouble, we have to go to war." Lu Chen was a veteran who returned home alive from the battlefield, and he was more sensitive than ordinary military households, so he frowned and clicked his tongue.

"Wars will definitely be fought, and we are afraid of internal and external difficulties."

What I am most afraid of is that there will be rebellions in the country. At the same time, pirates at sea will take the opportunity to make troubles and break the practice of not going ashore to attack the coast.

Qi Ke drank his own tea in one gulp, and continued to pour water into the teapot. Everyone here is a sensible person, so he is not afraid to say something surprising.

"So, let's talk about it again, enjoy the time when the time is quiet and improve your life if you can. Who knows what will happen tomorrow."

"Well, that's right, it's not in vain to enjoy life." Mr. Bai patted the table lightly, "Is the heating stove that came with the boat really a commodity?"

"The old general has taken a fancy to it? It's really a commodity. You can burn coal and firewood. Things made of cast iron are durable. Except for heating in winter, they can also be used in other seasons. Cooking and boiling water, as long as they are flat-bottomed pots."

"It's worth thinking about. I think this thing has wheels and can be pushed around, which can save a lot of energy. Some places are not crowded but must be stationed by officers and soldiers. I think this stove is convenient for daily life and safe."

Qi Ke suddenly remembered that there was a place called Gou Neck Town under the jurisdiction of Donglin County. At the beginning, because the road out of the town was blocked by falling rocks, Bai Qing also came to the village to raise food for disaster relief. There was a fort on the mountain there, so it was nothing. There is no shortage of firewood on the mountain in the densely populated place where officers and soldiers must be stationed. It is indeed convenient to have such a stove for heating and cooking.

Of course, it is also possible to set up a kang, but it still depends on the number of people and the size of the barracks. The old general meant this, so it must be useful. Qi Ke didn't bother to guess wildly.
