Chapter 713 The Plan to Make Money ([-])
"Besides, we have to build two civilian piers, one for seaborne merchant ships and one for inland river vessels. In addition, we'd better build a few large warehouses. It will develop in the future, and other merchants will come to do business with Qi Ke. , you can rent warehouses for them to subsidize our construction expenses."

"Yes, Qi Ke wants to do business in this area, and Jiaji Shipping Company, who has a good relationship with her, may also come along, maybe just open a branch in Liangshui Town."

"The estuary is the estuary where the main branch of the Jiuzhi River flows into the sea. If the wharf is built, there will be civilian ships berthing. There is no doubt about it. Qi Ke gave us a good suggestion. We can make money from this estuary."

The value of the estuary lies in the fact that it flows into the sea. Bai Qing knows that the reason why he was put here is to guard the mouth. It just so happens that his military exploits have accumulated enough to be promoted to a military household. Otherwise, his father General Bai wanted his son to be stationed in Donglin County, but he couldn't say anything.

"The prospects are all good, but the problem is where the money for the early stage construction will come from." Bai Qing was a little annoyed, picked up a small spring roll with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "You said this bucket boat can How many rewards has the imperial court issued?"

"Um……"

The others sat with folded arms one by one. It was really hard to answer this question. No matter how many rewards the imperial court issued, they would still be distributed to the generals for distribution. Take it, it is estimated that it is not enough for the expenditure of the estuary.

"Now that we have handed over the fighting boats of the Black Flag Gang, we are on par with them. The pier that already existed in Hekou Bay needs to be rebuilt and rebuilt. It can't be delayed. Based on this, we should be able to pay more Asking the imperial court for a sum of money has nothing to do with rewards."

"This requires the general to submit a statement to the court."

"The national treasury is empty, and the general is not easy to use."

"We take our papers. It's up to the court to give it or not. We can figure out how to do it ourselves if they can't pay the money. In short, the area of ​​Hekou Bay can't be left alone. Let's take it one step at a time."

This is a helpless compromise, but there is no better way right now, so we can only take one step at a time.

"Okay, call Qi Ke back, and we'll discuss how to build her warehouse."

Cheng Feng's deputy had the lowest rank, so he got up and opened the door to go out, calling the maids in the corridor of the wing room, and asked them to invite Qi Ke over.

Qi Ke is also studying the topographic map of Hekou Bay with Zhaolin in his own room at the moment. Before that, Zhaolin Zhaolin also showed her the aerial view of Yexi County, Sanshui Prefecture, Shangnan Prefecture. It was lifeless, without any signs of recovery. The government office that was half buried in the mud now looks even more desolate, almost in ruins.

The good Yizhou granary has become a completely abandoned dead place. I am afraid that Shangnanzhou will not have a good time in the next few years, and more people will flee their hometowns in order to survive.

As for the Lianxi Escort Agency used to disguise Zhaolin’s background, it is even more in ruins. It is so dilapidated that people can’t tell at a glance whether it is the site of the Escort Agency or a wealthy family’s house. Fortunately, there is a signboard of the Escort Agency half buried in dust lying on the ground. The ruins once belonged to an escort agency.

The disguise that Zhao Lin chose for herself was very safe, Qi Ke turned off the screen with confidence, and instead focused on the estuary, which was beyond her ability, so she didn't mind watching it.
