Section 69 of the Great Shijie of Guangzhou

"Nope. This kind of thing has to be influenced by the Taoist priests of the local famous palaces. I, a wandering Taoist priest, has no foundation there, and in the eyes of scholars and rich people, I am half a flower child, what appeal can I have? Will it be taboo to come forward to help the famine? Zhang Yingchen is certainly interested in having such an opportunity to penetrate the mainland. However, the rich Jiangnan Bubi Li District, also different from Hainan Island, traditional Taoism has taken root for many years, and there are countless famous palaces, and some palaces, I am afraid that he will be driven out if he wants to place an order. Religion has always been a complicated place.

"So you can start with a different Taoist temple...... Zhao Yinggong remained silent, he had already seen the Yunjiguan model approved by Zhang Yingchen in the construction company, and knew that the Taoist "new Taoism" was different, and with the new medicine and new technology they mastered, it was very possible to make a splash in Hangzhou.

Zhang Yingchen said: "You are taking me into the ditch." I don't know if I'm going to make a gossip to confuse everyone......" he muttered for a moment, "However, if you can open up the situation in Jiangnan, you really have a lot to do." ”

"You start as a doctor. It is easy to open up your prestige by curing diseases and saving people, not to mention that your medical skills and medicines are genuine. Zhao Yinggong knew that Zhang Yingchen was willing, but he was pretending to get more quid pro quo from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, so he added, "Our intelligence system will fully support you." ”

"Well said, well said." Zhang Yingchen smiled and nodded, "It is also the bounden duty of my generation to rescue the people of eastern Zhejiang. ”

The two sides reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation. Zhang Yingchen agreed to go to the Jiangnan area as a guest secretary of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and the two sides maintained secret contact during the operation. The two sides maintained intelligence collection and sharing, and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau was responsible for providing support for Zhang Yingchen's activities in Jiangnan.

"When my Great Song Dynasty recovers, you will be the ......envoy of the palace," Zhao Yinggong said jokingly.

"Actually, I prefer Longhu Mountain." Zhang Yingchen said.

Zhang Yingchen sent Zhao Yinggong away and muttered for a while. There is a lot to be done in Jiangnan, where there are many rich people, and if you can develop believers, it will be of great help to the economic strength of the new Taoism. However, the Confucian shili in Jiangnan is very strong, and several famous cults in history have not been able to develop in the local area, and it will not be much less difficult for them to take root and sprout in the local area than for Catholicism to enter China.

While he was muttering, he saw a notice from He Ying on the table to collect the religious poll tax—this matter had already been urged by the Religious Affairs Office several times. His missionary activities in the Leine district were successful, but according to the requirements of the Religious Affairs Office, every member of the religion registered with the Religious Affairs Office was subject to a poll tax. This amount of money is really not enough for the new Taoism, whose followers are mainly ordinary people in the Li District.

Zhang Yingchen is still very uncomfortable with this management system of the Religious Affairs Office. At the end of his mission, he had to write a report and fill out a number of religious forms detailing the number of people in each village.

"Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately, and Taoism is not a monotheistic religion with a clear identity as a believer." Zhang Yingchen thought to himself that the religious poll tax obviously has a restraining effect on monotheism, and it has little significance for Han Buddhism and Taoism. As for the number of believers, it seemed to him that this could only be estimated, and it was impossible to make a definite count.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to talk to He Ying, especially to talk to Dean Wu. On the future development direction of the Religious Affairs Office. In Zhang Yingchen's view, it is wrong for Wu Shimang's Lingao Seminary to occupy all the Jesuit funding, and at least half should be handed over to the Religious Affairs Office, and then distributed by the Religious Affairs Office.

The use of Jesuit funds for religious activities is approved by the Senate, but Dean Wu's advantage is too obvious. Zhang Yingchen has been a missionary for more than a year, and he feels that no matter what he does, money is the most important thing.

The Dutch East India Company Mission successfully completed its mission. After the two sides signed a trade agreement, Fan? After the Transtron had successfully sold all the goods, the "Magdeburg" set off in Lingao filled with sugar, glass and groceries. The draft treaty was to be submitted to the East India Company Council and Senate in Batavia for review, and after approval, Zuihou exchanged letters. The agreement was signed in Dutch, Chinese, and Classical Latin. The classical Latin text prevails.

This was preceded by the signing of a consular agreement between the two sides. Although many of the patriarchs thought that the consular agreement was like a fart and that they would have to rely on artillery to solve the problem once they turned around, Skade believed that the rules should be established from this moment.

Although the Dutch in the 17th century did not necessarily have the mindset to seriously fulfill consular agreements, as long as they signed them. After the high school, there is enough excuse to enforce it. Just as the Qing Dynasty did not understand European-style diplomacy, Britain and France used cannons to force it to understand and follow the rules. In the future, the rules of diplomacy will also be instilled in others by the Senate with cannons.

When the Dutchman Yang Fan set off, the expatriate teams from all walks of life in Lingao also set off one after another, and the first way to set off was the Guangzhou Station people who returned to Guangzhou. They will reopen the Guangzhou station, resume their public identities, and then use their position on the mainland to help arrange the travel of expatriate intelligence officers to Jiangnan, Liaodong, and Shandong. After all, Guangdong is a large land and water wharf, and the transportation is a relatively convenient place. There is also a local organization called Qiwei. Under the present circumstances, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau did not consider it appropriate to take the sea route, so it still set out from Guangzhou, crossed the Wuling Mountains, and entered the hinterland of the mainland via Jiangxi.

The matter of returning to Guangzhou began after reaching a formal peace agreement with Li Luoyou. Although the agreement was signed in black and white, Guo Yi and others were fed up with the slow efficiency of the Ming government in the implementation, and it was finally at the end of February that many of the terms of the agreement were implemented. Although some of the reparations and refunds have not yet been fully completed, they are almost complete.

Taking advantage of the free time to wait for the implementation of the treaty, the people of the Guangzhou station and the main planners of the colonial trade department discussed the next business expansion of the Guangzhou station. Now that Guangzhou Station has returned to Guangzhou with the aftermath of victory, it is no longer possible to satisfy the ambitions of the elders just by continuing the little business of the past. Some people suggested that a window for "Australian-style life" should be set up in Guangzhou. It not only sells all kinds of goods, but also conveys the various enjoyments and ideas of modern life to the wealthy people in Guangzhou and even the whole of Guangdong. Let them be "corroded" in the Australian way of life.

The concept is similar to the Ziming Tower of the past. However, the new version of the "Australian-style living window" will be more popular, and the audience will be mainly affluent ordinary people, rather than Ziminglou, which can only go to high-end clubs for people who are not rich or expensive.

The large sample of Australian-style life in Jihua is called "Guangzhou Shijie" by some elders. Similar to the big shijie or newer commercial centers of the old time and space, it is a comprehensive large-scale commercial body that integrates food, housing, and entertainment. Or according to some people's proposal, it is to directly build a shopingmall, where you can eat, drink, play and shop, and you can't finish it in a day.

Originally planned for a few years ago as a bored suggestion from an old senator on an internal BBS, the jihua was subsequently widely supported, and what started as a large department store eventually turned into a grand bastion-like commercial center.

The veterans who were interested in this on BBS formulated a detailed jihua for this "Guangzhou Shijie", and made a detailed plan from the site selection, building mode, business mode to the type of products dealership. Some people even drew architectural renderings.

According to the proposal system of the veteran military and political Jihua, this plan was proposed by the Feiyun Society according to the regulations and entered the formal discussion process of the Senate.

In the proposal, not only does the use of "big shijie" promote Australian goods and Australian lifestyles, but it is also very attractive in terms of economic benefits.

The exchange of the great shijie is a two-way street, and the silver obtained through the goods sold here can be re-established on the spot, and a large number of local raw materials in the Pearl River Delta can be purchased, especially the agricultural products that are abundant in this time and space. In addition to transporting raw materials back to Lingao for processing and manufacturing, they can also be processed in a local factory in Guangzhou and then sold in the mainland. The exchange of a large number of goods is bound to have a huge impact on the economy and all aspects of life. Setting up a local factory can use the local population of Guangdong as cheap labor on the spot, rather than the current time-consuming and laborious mode of population transfer.

Wen Desi is also very supportive of this, and in his opinion, Guangzhou Dashijie is his ideal model of "Delong Trading Company". And this model can be used anywhere in the future.

This magnificent jihua caught Guo Yi and the people of the Planning Institute by surprise. According to Guo Yi's report to the Planning Institute, after returning to Guangzhou, the first thing to do was to restore the Sanzi industry -- according to the report of the Guangzhou intelligence system, although the Sanzi industry belonged to the "official feudal", the officials and officials in charge of sealing the shop carried out extensive plundering among them: all kinds of woodware, money-making guys who were not favored by the officials, and the little people were not taboo in meat and vegetarians. Since the goods of equal value have not been sold by officials, there are still people who want furniture, furnishings and other things. For more than half a year, the Sanzi industry has been dilapidated, and even the residence standing on Huifu Street in Guangzhou has been ruined.

After the completion of the restoration of Jihua, the second branch of Ziming Building - or "flagship store" - is the second branch of Ziming Building, which is larger than the first store and has updated facilities. The construction of the second store was originally in Jihua, and if it weren't for the sudden Ming crusade, it would have been under construction.

Of course, for the people of Guangzhou Station, they welcomed the plan of "Guangzhou Dashijie", but for the Planning Institute, the sudden large-scale project affected their planning. It involves a large amount of foreign investment and material allocation.
