Chapter 621 The Village Chief’s Three Fires ([-])

Qi Ke made a calculation and remembered an unproven folk saying that the outbreak cycle of infectious diseases is about once every ten or twenty years.

"Since I have suffered from the plague, I would like to remind the villagers to exterminate rats, and at the same time, let this word out to bring back everyone's memories, otherwise I bet someone will take the voles home to eat." Qi Ke said.

"That's right, while reminding everyone to eradicate the rats, we must emphasize the danger of the plague." Cheng Feng agreed, "I will send an official document to each village after I return to the town, and I must pay attention to it. The plague at this time is no less than a catastrophe for us.”

Because the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, once an epidemic broke out, it could only fend for itself.

Everyone at the scene held these words in their hearts.

"Rat control is a long-term battle. Once the rats appear, it is not easy to get rid of them, so let's not be scared to death by the rats." Qi Ke took out a hand-painted simple map from his arms, "I think we should pay attention to the new business first. Better, I wonder if Mr. Qian has changed his mind?"

"What to change? Why not do profitable business? No change." Bai Qing reached out to take the blueprint, and curled his lips at the simple painting style, "Why do I feel that the terrain looks familiar?"

Qi Ke shrugged slightly, and didn't answer the question. She planned to let Bai Qing find out about the connection with the tributary of the water system where the Qianhusuo Wharf was located.

"This land is not small." General Mou Shen took a look and asked for the blueprint, "Does the weaving factory need such a large piece of land?"

"Of course it is necessary. Starting from the spinning machine, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and finished quilts, these four major links are indispensable, so a large enough land is required to be built in sequence. All production links are in our hands and concentrated in the In a certain place, the main energy can only be focused on how to purchase a large amount of cotton and linen raw materials, and other production and transportation will be circulated on the same land, and the cost will be very low." Qi Ke made a hand and pressed down action to show the repeated reduction in cost.

"Well..." Even if he doesn't understand production and management, Qi Ke's explanation, at least the four words of cost reduction, all the men present listened to it.

"So you're sure about this land? You can't do anything else?" Bai Qing took back the blueprint, flicked his fingers on the paper a few times, and smiled.

"Anyway, I'm only looking for this piece of land that I'm satisfied with. It seems a bit wasteful to build a factory, but we have to think about the benefits. What if we want to expand production if our business is good? There must be spare land to build a new factory, right? Of course, it is best to build them together to save costs, we are poor now, and we must control every penny and every cent of the cost, and waste is not allowed."

"What's the situation of this land now? Is it a complete wasteland? Are there any landlords?" Bai Qing was aroused by Qi Ke's description, a penny can't beat a hero, and the army can't do without money.

Qi Ke took two steps forward and stood in front of Bai Qing, stretching out his hand to make gestures on the drawing.

"Here, there is a village on the other side of the river. I asked the villagers that the wasteland has no landlords. It has been deserted for decades. There have been landslides before. Such a large piece of land is caused by the accumulation of mud and rocks from the landslide. become."

"So, if it is unowned wasteland, the land price will be very low..." Bai Qing stroked his chin, "Maybe I can really afford it, and if I buy it in the name of Qianhusuo, I can lower the price even further."
