Chapter 447

Qi Ke took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his nose, and hurried over all the way, the glass of salt and sugar water he drank before going out had already turned into sweat.

"Here is the ledger." Putting away his handkerchief, Qi Ke gently placed the ledger under his arm on the table beside Bai Qing.

Bai Qing didn't even look at it, just nodded at Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng passed the ledger directly to the village chief, Lao Jiuye.

Old Ninth Master took it with both hands in a daze.

"The account has been settled, and we will not take away the remaining materials. From now on, it will be transferred to the village's public account. You can use it yourself. If you need to replenish it after running out, follow the rules, but there will be no previous preferential treatment. "

The raw materials were sufficient before because Qi Ke and Bai Qing had an agreement first, so everything was prioritized. Now that the follow-up matters of the explosive package have been handed over, naturally they are not eligible to give priority to obtaining iron ore and other military-controlled materials.

"The two of us have seen the test in the morning. The reason why the gun barrel is not durable is that the level of the blacksmith is limited, because the power of the gunpowder has become stronger, but the manufacturing process of the gun barrel has not kept up. We will not torture your blacksmith, follow-up matters After handing over to the army, I will truthfully report to the general and apply for an award for Qi Ke, and at the same time, I don't want to hear any bad comments from the village."

"Yes, don't worry Mr. Qian, we will pay attention."

"Qi may get the award because of her own ability, and no one in the village will speak bitterly."

The two village chiefs quickly expressed their opinions, and both of them looked happy. It is the honor of the whole village to receive an award for meritorious service in the village. Talking about it will only arouse the envy of other villages. , the village certainly does not.

"My lords, don't worry, no one in the village will talk nonsense, and even if you want to be jealous, you can't be jealous. Don't talk about the gunpowder, just about Qi Ke's pig rooting and soybean harvest. From time to time, he either grows beans or learns to grow pigs and dig roots. For the villagers, this kind of food is enough to earn the respect of the whole village." The village chief added with a smile.

"Yes, Qi may have received two awards. The locals have been eating wild pigs for many years, but Qi Ke has cultivated them as soon as he came here. The output is still so large, which solves our food shortage problem."

The output of pig root planing is so large, and it will definitely be promoted by the whole army after it is reported. Whether it is a staple food or a spare food, frontier soldiers like them who have been fighting old wars have long suffered enough from not having enough food.

Qi Ke raised her eyebrows lightly, her heart trembled, food in one hand and a weapon in the other was her advantage in gaining a firm foothold in this world.

With the guarantee from the village chiefs, Bai Qing felt at ease, and Cheng Feng would take care of him no matter how bad it was.

After they finished talking about their business, Bai Qing took out another purse and handed it to Qi Kexiang to say something else. The two village chiefs took a step forward with the ledger wisely, and only Cheng Feng was in the room for company.

"The rescue money owed to you by the villagers of Wenjia Village has finally been recovered."

"Did you get it back?" Qi Ke picked up the purse and weighed it in his hand, only to find that it contained a whole ingot of silver curly, "Did you pay me the interest?"

"Shouldn't the interest be calculated after delaying for so long? Otherwise, we will compromise if they mess around, and let them think that our Bai family army is easy to bully? After all, the Bai family army is one of the twelve side armies. to be so weak."

"I thought it would be nice if I could get half of it back." Qi Ke tossed the purse in his hands, "It must be not easy to get the money back after so long."

"Fortunately, wait for me to clean them up slowly."

"Ok?"

"Wenjia Village is too close to us. Has anyone come here to poach in the past few months?"

"I didn't notice that the wolves are in the mountains every day, and they don't behave abnormally." In fact, there are still some. I don't know how many people were injured by Zhao Lin throwing so many traps on the border, but Qi Ke felt that there was no need to tell Bai Qing. He Chengfeng listened.

"It's not good to suddenly become obedient. If they don't make trouble, I have no reason to deal with them."

"How does Mr. Qian want to deal with them? What is the purpose?"

"Let them move the whole village and let us take over the site."

"Can it work? It doesn't belong to the area where the Bai family army is stationed."

"It's man-made. There are many mountains in the area. The army needs a training camp hidden in the mountains."

"Okay, if it's done, I'll be at ease, and I don't need to worry about whether someone has crossed the border to dig wild vegetables and hunt in my mountain forest from time to time."

Qi Ke thinks that the training camp is a good excuse, but Wenjia Village is a village where families live together, how to move people out is a difficult problem, but it's not Qi Ke's turn to worry about it.
