People say that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but in reality, opportunities are actually more reserved for the lucky, and the luck value of this thing was described very well by the ancients, which is called luck for individuals, but for a force, country, and nation, this kind of anti-heaven attribute is actually the fortune of the country.

A Far East storm caused by Xiao Lotian engulfed too many people and involved too many forces, Xiao Lotian was like a god holding a-stirring stick, standing in the clouds and blocking his nose with two toilet papers, and began to stir up the big dung pit outside the gate.

The sediment is flooded, the stench is tangy, how many unknown secrets have surfaced, and how many long-sealed past events have come to mind again.

Lao Lin looked at the books of accounts in front of him, and listened to the explanation of the account room, he was stupid!

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the problem of corruption has been plaguing people like a cancer, except for the Yongzheng period to rectify the situation of the bureaucracy, the rest of the time is the corruption of officials compared to the competition.

accepting bribes, seizing land, and exacting taxes...... In fact, these are just pediatrics, and the really powerful people have long been involved in more lucrative industries, that is, trade, especially transnational trade.

Xiao Letian has said more than once that the so-called seclusion and seclusion in ancient China are actually nonsense, and those officials who shouted that it is good to close the country and close the country are brainwashing the emperor with all their might, saying how terrible the outside world is, and it must not be switched on and off casually, otherwise the country will be unstable......

Balabala said a lot, even if the emperor is smart, he can't stand the crowd, so since the Ming Dynasty, the policy of closing the country has lasted intermittently for two dynasties, and in general, there is still more time for retreat and less time for switching.

In fact, the tributary trade system is also a perverted system forced out of the policy of closing the country, because the act of commercial trade is one of the driving forces of national progress, and civilization itself has the desire to blend with other civilizations, and commercial trade is the most effective means of such exchange.

The Ming and Qing dynasties desperately suppressed the desire for communication of civilization itself, but they found that the pressure could not be suppressed, and finally forced out a tributary trade system, which can be regarded as a kind of covering up and stealing bells.

In fact, the core root is still in the tributary trade system, and the Ryukyus have the right to tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, which is the golden book and iron scroll that King Shangtai saved their lives.

Scam! Everything is a scam!

It is undeniable that some of the Confucian scholars and officials who shout that it is good to close the country and close the country are stupid and brainwashed, but there is also a deeper and more influential group of people, who say that they are closed to the country, but in fact they want to make profits by using this policy.

Xiao Letian is very rich, and he has raised a large number of professional archaeologists and expeditions with his own private money, which is completely Xiao Letian's own personal hobby.

Led by archaeologists and historians, these expeditions ventured into the jungles of South America, the Euphrates Valley, the ruins of ancient Egypt, and the Mediterranean.

Of course, it is more archaeological work in China and Asia, and Xiao Letian spends between one million and one and a half million silver dollars a year on this little hobby.

In countless overseas archaeology, Xiao Letian verified his guess that in the five hundred years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the so-called closed country was a scam.

The ultimate goal of closing the country is to seek higher profits for the smuggling syndicate! This syndicate wants to be huge, with officials, princes and nobles, giant merchants, and a landlord class along the coast...... They colluded into a big net, tried to close the country as much as possible, and then engaged in the lucrative smuggling trade.

According to the types and time periods of porcelain excavated from Central Asia and India, as well as the types and time periods of porcelain in the hands of European collectors, the porcelain trade in China in the whole world has never been interrupted due to the closure of the country.

Because in overseas porcelain collections, no dynasties have been found, and porcelain from any period of the Ming and Qing dynasties has been found overseas.

This can only prove one point: The more we close ourselves to the outside world, the more rampant the smuggling trade becomes! In fact, China is ruined in many cases at the hands of these corrupt officials who say one thing and do another.

For the sake of profit, they forcibly closed the window of civilization exchange, and just for the benefit of some smuggling, they could make the Chinese civilization closed for 500 years!

Without eclecticism, without technological and cultural exchanges, a civilization will quickly lose its vitality and blood-forming ability, and the final result will be a humiliating century in modern history.

Today, the accounts found in General Tepuxin's mansion once again prove Xiao Letian's speculation that the real world is far more cruel than people think.

The accounts provide a detailed account of the day-to-day business activities and distribution of profits of Tepuxin's smuggling trading group, and although the original shareholder details cannot be found, the flow of funds reveals everything.

Prince Gong, Prince Alcohol, Prince Qing, Prince Li, and Prince Li of Beijing City...... Including Li Lianying, Zhou Daotong and even Yishan, who raised idlers, all received dividends to varying degrees, which means that this interest group has captured a very large power in Jingshi.

No wonder Yishan and Tepukhin have not been punished for losing power and humiliating the country, how could they die with so many 'nobles' protecting them?

The commodities traded were grain, medicinal herbs, leather goods, timber, Western goods, and even population...... You read that right, the Far East, controlled by Tsarist Russia, was unusually barren, and the first people to come here were some Cossack soldiers.

Without the development of the people, those garrisons would not be able to survive at all, so they urgently needed a commodity, that is, 'Chinese' men, women, and children were needed, men could work, women could use them for recreation and childbirth, and children would grow up to be new slaves in the future.

With hard-working Chinese, the cold Far Eastern towns have a trace of popularity and certain conditions for survival.

In Tepuxin's secret account book, there are even records of contacts with countless handmaidens, bandits, bandits, Mongolian horse bandits, and other forces, and there are many shady transactions, such as people, drugs, and arms...... It's all trade done through the hands of these people.

This is a big and big trade network, and the smuggling trade between the entire Heilongjiang region and Tsarist Russia is completely monopolized by Tepuxin's group.

"Evidence! This is the evidence! It turns out that Tepukhin is really a traitor! It turns out that they are really betraying the country!"

"Interrogate these two bastards overnight, and then arrest all the people involved in Qiqihar City, interrogate their confessions, and send them to Ningguta ......"

"No, no, no...... Send it to Vladivostok, send it to Your Majesty, this matter is too big to be dealt with by Your Majesty!"
