Chapter 268 The Four Wealthy Merchants of Guangzhou

Liu Fei looked left and right, his location was the place where he left Guangzhou before, located in the suburbs of Guangzhou in this era, there was no one around, Liu Fei immediately let Zero release all the t800s. Liu Fei made these T800 clothes follow modern military uniforms, and then redesigned them to be more inclined to the black military uniforms of the special police, and then directly let Liu Fei unify them.

Anyway, in this era, no one cares what Liu Fei wears, as for the intelligent robot, they don't wear these, but wear the robes of this era, only Liu Fei is still wearing that suit. After releasing all the T800s, Liu Fei led them towards the city of Guangzhou, and asked as he went, "What's the trouble?" ”

"It's Fulong's owner, the Lu family." Liu Zhiwen said quickly, "The Lu family is one of the four wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou, but after Fulong came back, the Lu family didn't believe what Fulong said, so now the Lu family has imprisoned Fulong and more than a dozen other people, and they are going to be sent to the official." ”

"Send the officer?" Liu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Fulong and they colluded with pirates to embezzle three ships of goods, and we have just learned that these three ships of goods are worth about 500,000 taels of silver." Liu Zhiwen said quickly.

"Did you go with them and I went to visit?" Liu Fei asked directly.

"Now, they haven't sent the official until now, they are just waiting for your arrival, young master." Liu Zhiwen said, "But after waiting for more than a dozen, their patience has reached the limit." ”

"I'm outside Guangzhou now, and I'm going to visit their Lu family now." Liu Fei said directly.

"It's the young master, I'll send someone to pick up the young master now." Liu Zhiwen immediately spoke

Liu Fei did not refuse, and told Liu Zhiwen his location, and after waiting in place for more than 20 minutes, Liu Fei heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then saw a large number of horse teams running quickly here, and Liu Fei soon saw Liu Zhiwen who took the lead.

Liu Zhiwen also brought thirty horses over, and when he saw these horses, Liu Fei was very satisfied, it seems that Liu Zhiwen knows his habits very well.

The horses that came were all pure white tall horses, and they didn't seem to be Mongolian horses, their shoulder height was very high, maybe their endurance was insufficient, but what did it matter, Liu Fei didn't expect them to come to catch up with the long distance, a total of thirty horses, pure white, without a single stray hair, and obviously these horses have always been cleaned, and the saddles on the back of the horses are made of sterling silver with pure gold.

Even the horse chews are golden, Liu Fei doesn't know where Liu Zhiwen bought such a white horse with such a look and almost the same appearance, but he has to, this horse team got it out, it is called a pull. Liu Zhiwen's body has changed into a robe and clothing of this era.

"Young Master." When he arrived at Liu Fei's side, Liu Zhiwen immediately dismounted and saluted Liu Fei respectfully.

"Well done." Liu Fei praised him, you know, Liu Fei didn't explain these things to Liu Zhiwen, this was all done by Liu Zhiwen himself.

"Yes, young master, although we are only staying here for a short time, but the identity of the young master is destined for the young master to have the pomp and circumstance he deserves, otherwise, they may not be able to look at us squarely when dealing with these." Liu Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Well, let's get on the horse, go visit this Lu family, and you give me information about this Lu family by the way." Liu Fei nodded, took a horse directly, and said with a smile, although Liu Fei is of Han nationality, Liu Fei, who grew up in Inner Mongolia, naturally has no problem riding a horse.

Thirty horses, including Liu Zhiwen, as well as a T800 brought by Liu Zhiwen, and three intelligent camouflage robots brought by Liu Fei, 24 T800s, exactly one each. After everyone got on the horse, Liu Fei immediately took the lead and ran towards the city of Guangzhou, while Liu Zhiwen was half a distance behind Liu Fei's horse.

The others were neatly arranged in two columns, these robots had complete combat skills, and even their equestrian skills were extremely superb, Liu Fei didn't know how they did it, anyway, after all the horses ran away, even the rhythm of the horses' hooves was the same.

When I was about to arrive in Guangzhou City, there were already a lot of pedestrians on the side of the road, but after these pedestrians saw Liu Fei and others from a distance, they quickly gave way to both sides of the road and hid far away, for fear of colliding with Liu Fei, but Liu Fei's pedestrians attracted everyone's attention.

This head-turning, leveraged, don't be this era, this dress, the saddle is all built in accordance with the modern style, that is called a delicate, even if it is put in modern times, it is extremely eye-catching, don't want this era. Although they didn't know who Liu Fei was, they also knew that this was definitely not something that they ordinary people could afford to mess with.

When they entered Guangzhou City, the officers and soldiers at the city gate almost bulged out their eyes, but no one stopped Liu Fei and his party, and it was estimated that Liu Zhiwen had already taken care of it.

"Young Master, the Lu family and the Pan family, the Ye family, and the Wu family are the four richest people in Guangzhou in this era, among which the Wu family and Wu Bingjian had assets of more than 26 million silver dollars when they were at their highest. Even if it is converted into silver, there are 20 million taels of silver, you know, the current Qing government's annual fiscal revenue is only 80 million taels of silver. Liu Zhiwen said quickly.

Liu Fei was prepared, and when he heard this number, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the wealth that a person has is imagined to be one-tenth of the annual income of the entire Qing government, you know, the GDP of the Qing government in this era is equivalent to one-third of the world's GDP! What is this concept?

And this is only one of the four wealthy businessmen, so since the other three are called the four rich businessmen side by side, it means that even if there is a gap between the four, the gap is not big, of course, that Wu Bingjian had so much money when he was the most prosperous, so now, it will definitely not be too bad.

Of course, the cash in their hands must not be as much as Liu Fei, and now the silver in Liu Fei's hands, even if he brings back 300 tons of modern space, there are still 300 tons, which is almost equivalent to nearly 9 million taels!

"In this way, the Lu family's 500,000 taels of silver is nothing to them?" Liu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's nothing, but 500,000 taels of the current Lu family is basically equivalent to more than half of their cash, although their family has a lot of assets, but most of them are real estate, land and so on, and they don't have much cash in their hands." Liu Zhiwen said quickly.

"Hmm." Liu Fei nodded.

The current city of Guangzhou naturally can't be compared with later generations, so Liu Fei and the others only took more than 20 minutes to arrive in front of a mansion with an extremely wide area, looking at the sign hanging on the mansion: Lu family, Liu Fei did not get off the horse, but sat on the horse and waited here quietly.

Liu Zhiwen quickly walked out of the horse next to Liu Fei, jumped off the horse and said to the two family members at the door: "Tell your master, our young master has arrived." ”

"Wait a minute." When the family at the door saw Liu Fei's situation, he didn't dare to be careless, and ran directly inside. Liu Fei didn't get off the horse, when you meet these people, your shelf can't be lowered, the higher your compulsion, the more they pay attention to you, and in this era, because they despise businessmen, these businessmen may have a lot of money at home, but their status is not very high. Among the four ranks of Shinong and businessmen, merchants are at the bottom of the ranking.

So even these businessmen in this era, like Wu Bingjian, are good enough, right? A person's property is equivalent to a quarter of the annual income of the entire Qing Dynasty, but he still does not dare to use his original name, he has used many names in the middle, and may have earned a lot of money, but he still does not dare to use his own name, for fear of losing his ancestors. This is the mentality of the merchants in this era.

And Liu Fei's current formation is also a little too big, so these family members don't dare to slack off at all, Liu Fei didn't wait long outside, about ten minutes, the door was completely opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties came out with more than a dozen people from inside, until this time, Liu Fei turned over from the horse and jumped down.

Lu Jiguang is also known as Lu Wenhan, but Lu Wenhan is his real name, and Lu Jiguang is his business name, that is, the name of the business, for the return of Fulong and others, although Lu Jiguang knows that Fulong is not the kind of person who will be greedy for his own money, and moreover, if the other party is really greedy, he will not take the initiative to come back to find them, after all, if they run away, their Lu family will not be able to find each other.

But the goods of 500,000 taels of silver are gone, and there are three ocean-going cargo ships on the loss, which is a loss that the Lu family can't afford now, although the Lu family is one of the thirteen banks in Guangzhou, and it is also one of the four richest people, but in fact, the Guangli Bank of the Lu family has been declining in recent years, so even if Lu Jiguang knows that Fulong is not that kind of person, he has to imprison them.

But for these people who came back with Fulong, Lu Jiguang didn't dare to look at them, although he didn't know if they were true or not, if they were true, it would be a little too fake, how could Lu Jiguang not believe that he could defeat the British on the sea? How powerful does it take for a warship to do this?

But whether it's true or not, the other party has warships on the ocean is undoubtedly correct, if the Lu family still wants to do this sea business, they can't offend the other party, otherwise, just stare at your Lu family's ship robbery, how long can the Lu family support it?

So Lu Jiguang has been waiting for the other party's arrival, until he just received a report from the family that the other party is coming, and Lu Jiguang immediately brought his housekeeper, son and other family members out to greet him.

And as soon as he walked out of the door and saw the other party's pomp, Lu Jiguang's heart was shocked, this pomp and circumstance was simply ...... Even the Governor of Liangguang didn't have such a big show, right?
