Li Luoyou's business network and economic strength are much larger than those of the scattered small traders, and he has a wide range of channels than those who basically rely on selling foreign goods. The supply is not only large, but also has a great advantage in price. So it didn't take long for Qionghai to become the largest mainland supplier in Lingao's commercial leisure system. Therefore, Gu Jiancheng's business is basically to collect money. However, Li Luoyou gave him full freedom to purchase, and every month the Qionghai was in high purchase amount, and he could be the master of half of the purchase amount and choose what he thought could make money on the mainland.

The encirclement and suppression launched by the Guangdong government interrupted the trading of the Qionghai for a period of time, and not long after the victory of Chengmai, Gu Caicheng, who had not left Lingao, soon resumed bilateral commercial trade. It's a lot of money.

Let Li Luoyou be a little relieved of his business ability.

Li Luoyou attaches great importance to the development of the Qionghai, and the money for opening the Qionghai is his "self-resignation." "It's called private money. Although his family has a lot of money, this is all the Li family's property, and Gu Jiancheng is just a foreigner. In order to avoid gossip among the people in the clan, and also in case he is not alive, he has to recommend Gu Cheng into an industry to live in. The existing industry, whether it is a real break or a share, everyone in the clan is eyeing each other, even their own sons may not be able to inherit it all, let alone their nephews.

Now the Australians have fully demonstrated their ability and determination to defend themselves, and from this point of view, the current Lingao and the future Qiongzhou capital can be regarded as an optional "retreat". Li Luoyou became increasingly pessimistic about the situation in the Central Plains and the future of the Ming Dynasty. The shadow of the coming troubled times weighed heavily on his head.

This time he went to Lingao, not only to shoulder the mission of Li Fengjie's negotiations, but also to have the meaning of Haode to run the Qionghai. In the event of chaos, this small island in the south is not a paradise.

The carriage arrived at the door of the Qionghai. Two servants in front of the door hurriedly came up and took the horses. Because of the steps, the carriage could only be parked outside the door, and could not be carried into the house like a sedan chair. Li Luoyou secretly made a note in his heart: I want to remind Gu Jiancheng to renovate the house and set up a portal that can enter and exit Ma Mou.

He had already taken care of the recommendation and wanted to buy a horse from the Australians for his use, and if he needed horses or mules, he would send someone to transport them from the mainland.

"My nephew uses such a car, isn't it too ostentatious", Gu Jiancheng was taken aback, this red flag horse is rarely seen on the streets of Lingao, even the Australian and Song Dynasty elders of Lingao rarely sit, not only do they not sit in a carriage, they don't even sit on a proud son, they either walk, or they ride an iron wheeled car, and it doesn't seem very good for a merchant shopkeeper to sit and swagger through the market.

"It doesn't matter." Li Luoyou said, "You are now the shopkeeper of the dignified Qionghai, and there must be a scene." ”

The Qionghai is located far from the center of Dongmen City, and to use a modern concept, it is located on the outer ring of Dongmen City. When I chose this place, I valued the cheap land price here and the large development space around it. In addition, the Qionghai is mainly trade-oriented, and the requirements for the market are not high.

Although the place is remote and the façade is not large, the repair of the houses of the entire Qionghai is very elegant. It is built according to the traditional ancient "construction method", and many Australian facilities are introduced, such as glass windows, bathrooms with hot and cold water, and flush toilets. Li Luoyou has a special appreciation for the bathroom equipment of Australians. In a traditional house, no matter how luxurious a house is, the toilet is a difficult place to set foot in, and no matter how many precious spices you smoke, the stench will always linger.

A small garden was built in the Qionghai, which was a "modern" classical garden designed by Li Xiaolu. But it's very much to Li Luoyou's appetite. The two of them changed their clothes and talked in the waterside of this garden.

The account book that Gu Garlic made a deal with him, he had already roughly read it. There is a large surplus of negotiable notes on the books, which are now deposited in Delong's bank account, and Gu Jiancheng means that exports to Lingao can be reduced in the near future and imports from Lingao can be increased, so as to digest the bank's deposits as soon as possible.

He always had great doubts about the credibility of this kind of banknote, no matter how he said it, it was not real money, and even copper coins felt more real than this thing.

Li Luoyou listened to his thoughts and pondered for a long time.

"There is no need to rush to use this surplus." Li Luoyou said, "You have to have an abacus that the Qionghai will be your property in the future, and this is your world, so you have to think more about how to use this money on the spot." ”

Gu Liancheng couldn't think of how to use Qian Qionghai's house in addition to increasing the number of purchases was already big enough, and there was no need to expand it again, as for the hoarded land, he felt that it was enough: there were still large pieces of wasteland around the Qionghai that he bought to grow vegetables. Although vegetables are not sold in Lingao, they are not worth a few dollars in the end. It was a bit of a waste to spend a lot of money on the land that was bought to bask in the sun.

"Don't waste the land you bought, isn't the market going up again?" Li Luoyou said with a smile, "Australians have just begun to exert their strength in Lingao, and the land only rises, not falls." ”

He took care of Caicheng, and kept a part of the negotiable coupons obtained from the sale in his hands, and did not exchange all of them for goods and shipped them to the mainland. A part of the cash left behind will continue to be used to buy land, and the high land price is currently the fastest rising place in the Australian-ruled area. Especially in the vicinity of Dongmen City. This castle town, which was originally positioned as a town for communication and trade with the natives outside the city, is now expanding very fast, and it has the momentum of engulfing the city. Many of the elders were already tired of living in Bairen City. It's so lively that it's also infested with industrial fumes and noise from time to time.

"Master, although the price of land has risen, it will not be sold for a while, and there is no market for a price."

"Of course, there is still free land in the inner circle of Dongmen City, and the land here naturally can't get rid of it. If you buy too much, the natural land will be tight, and when the supply exceeds the demand, everyone will come to buy your land. ”

"The old man is taught." Gu Jiancheng hurriedly said.

As for the rest of the money, he saved it for the time being, and spent it when he had the opportunity, and as for how to use it, he hadn't yet figured out how to use it.

"The other thing is to do more good deeds." Li Luoyou said, "Donating some of the churches to the church is a new pastoral area, although with the help of the Jesuits, it lacks a foundation and property. Fr. Wu also ran a seminary and charity, and the expenses must have been very large. ”

"Yes, my nephew donates a sum of money to the church every month",

"There are also Australians who run all kinds of charity associations, and their schools, you have to donate some money, not much, but you must give them all. Don't miss it. ”

"Nephew understands."

Li Luoyou nodded: "In Lingao, it's easy to make money." Therefore, it is even more important to make good connections, so that you can live here for a long time. ”

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard that an Australian came to visit Li Luoyou, and his spirits were lifted: it was about the Senate of Australians who had finally reached a conclusion to negotiate. He has been in Lingao for more than 10 days and has been waiting for the official reception of the Australians to start talks.

"Please!" He commanded in a loud voice, "Go to the hall and serve tea!" ”

The servant was about to turn around and go out, when he asked, "Who is it?" ”

Among them is Senior Liu. The others didn't recognize it. ”

Senior Liu is Liu San. Of course, Liu Sanlai didn't come to negotiate, but it just made Li Luoyou feel that there was an acquaintance present, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

In charge of the negotiations was Xu Tianqi from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The interests of the Crossing Group in Guangdong have been specifically stipulated in the "Macao Treaty", and this negotiation is only a finishing work. Xu Tianqi's task was to inform Li Luoyou of the conditions discussed by the Senate and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Xu Tianqi can also be regarded as Li Luoyou's acquaintance, and when he first received them, Xu Tianqi was mainly responsible for negotiating with Quark.

The two sides were over, and the servants served tea. Xu Tianyi looked around and felt that this hall was too empty for a secret conversation.

Li Luoyou saw him looking left and right, knowing that most of him was the negotiator he had brought, and he wanted to find a secret place to talk. Immediately took care of and introduced a group of people into his study, this is the deepest courtyard of the Qionghai, except for Gu Baocheng, ordinary servants and men are not allowed to enter.

The conditions put forward by Xu Tianqi on behalf of the Senate were:

The Guangdong government acquiesced in the occupation of the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture by the Crossing Group and exercised its right of domination. In return:

The Senate ensured that the Ming Dynasty's personnel appointments to the Qiongzhou Mansion and its subordinate counties could be continued, in other words, the Ming Dynasty could still appoint and dismiss officials at all levels of the Qiongzhou Mansion normally. At the time, the Senate ensured the personal and property safety of the officials and their families.

The Senate ensured that the official tax quota of the entire Qiongzhou government was fully completed, including the supplementary collection and additional distribution of the household department. However, the provincial levy is not paid.

The garrison of the Ming army in Qiongzhou could continue to be retained on the premise of a good faith existence. The Senate ensured the personal and property safety of Baisha Shuicha, Haikou Guard, and Tang Yunwen himself and his subordinates.

All the civilian, military, and military generals and officers and men besieged in Qiongshan County were repatriated to the mainland in batches by the Australian and Song Dynasty naval leaders from the date of the signing of the treaty between the two sides. The repatriation site shall be designated by the Guangdong side. The officers and soldiers of Baisha Water Village, Haikou and other local guard posts in Qiongzhou returned to build their own houses, and the Fubo Army did not stop them.

Repatriated personnel may carry weapons, axle weights, flags and rations for 0 days. Gunpowder, cannons, livestock, grain and grass are not allowed. Officers above the guerrilla level may bring back their own horses. Both officers and soldiers are allowed to bring back their own personal belongings, with a weight limit of 10 hectares. All the ships left behind by the officers and soldiers shall be returned to the Baisha Water Village, and all other ships shall be confiscated.
