There are a lot of forbidden things for the white lord, and Nao-su originally took into account the friendship between teachers and students, so that Jiang Chuan Yingmin could stay out of the matter - at least there are fewer contact points, but Yingmin himself doesn't think so, as a famous family, he has always been bold.

What's more, although Mr. Tan'an has always hoped that his son will be mature and stable, he has not set a good example:

You must know that after the Siebold Incident in 1828, the shogunate suppressed many Lan scholars, but the Egawa family's Rope Martial Arts Hall was not blatantly promoting Lan studies; The Barbarian Society Rebellion of 1839 was also triggered by Mr. Tan'an's extensive appointment of Lan scholars; In 1842, Takashima Shiro Taifu was detained by the shogunate, and Egawa Taro Saemon also campaigned for him in many ways; There are also the later establishment of the Nirayama Iron Smelter, the main construction of Shinagawa Odaiba, and the participation in the negotiations of the black ship.

Mr. Tan'an looks old and strong, old and spicy, and he also expects his son to be mature and steady, isn't this only the state officials allowed to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps.

In addition, Mr. Tanan underestimated Nao-so's audacity, so Yingmin went to the white lord to pursue it and that is good?

Is it completely self-defeating and counterproductive?

Sure enough, Yingmin said to Zhixiu, "I know that you are doing secret trade with Westerners, and I also want to see it", Zhixiu had no choice but to admit - no, if you don't agree, you can't do it, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, as a practitioner, Yingmin really made trouble, Zhixiu can't do anything to the teacher's son, why toast and not eat and punish wine.

So, on August 3, 1854, when the ship of Ham Heng & Co. entered the port of "Bachelor", Yingmin also appeared on the scene with Nao-so.

Both sides have been doing the secret trade for four years, everything is very familiar, and the personnel on both sides are also very familiar, and when they meet, they call friends, only Yingmin is dumbfounded.

Now Xianheng & Co. mainly imports Beimi bison hides, foreign cloth and silver to the white lords, and the white lords export not only seal skins, but also began to export leather goods such as tea, raw silk, clothing and cowhide shoes - after a large number of hunting, the number of seals on Seal Island and the surrounding habitats began to decline, so the white lords also had to start developing light industry, but limited to manpower, the quantity and quality of products are still far behind.

As for tea and raw silk, it was traded from Satsuma and Tosa.

But in addition to the normal trade, there are many special people on the ship, which Naohide has been looking forward to for a long time, and even more important than this trade in his heart:

Sure enough, Jiang Chuan Yingmin screamed "eh, ah", because in addition to the blonde and blue-eyed Miyi, there were actually a few black-haired and black-eyed people walking down this Western boat, and some of them hugged Naoxiu and cried bitterly as soon as they got off the boat, what a hell of a day!

Naoxiu also had tears in her eyes, and she finally looked forward to bringing you back after three years!

In October 1851, under the extremely difficult conditions of the white lord at that time, Naoxiu gritted his teeth and sent seven people to rice - three official students, one accompanying family members, plus one who was looking for relatives, one "monk" who went to visit the world of flowers, and one who went to do business.

The specific list is as follows:

The three official international students are Murata Eitoshi, Iwasaki Yataro and Sakamoto Naoin (Ryoma), the accompanying family members are Ryoma's strange sister Otome, the daughter Ninomiya Ina, who is left behind by Siebold in Fuso, the "high monk" is the idle Hidenian monk, and the business is Toranosuke Takemae - he goes to replace Nakamura Gakujiro who is returning to Japan.

I haven't seen him for nearly three years, and everyone is very excited to see each other, among them, the 19-year-old Ryoma, who is still stupid, is still holding himself and crying, what a child who can't grow up.

Otome waited for a while and walked up

Come and tear your brother away, so that the other companions can say hello to Naoxiu.

Naoxiu greeted everyone with a smile - these are all seeds, and the towering trees of the future are not dying outside, which is very good.

It turned out that the great monk Xiunian was the first to come over to say hello, and Zhixiu was happy to look at it, he had long hair, a beard, and a suit and leather shoes that looked like a dog, this was an addition, hurry up.

Next was Nagasoshi Murata, who walked over and nodded to Naohide.

The nature of the country is easy to change, this uncle eats his own and spends his own, at that time when he was in danger, he had to chase his confidante Ergong Dao to go overseas, and when he came back, he didn't say a good word, "um" is okay, but it's a good thing that he hasn't been abducted, just nod his head.

However, Yongmin nodded and didn't move, and Zhixiu didn't know what this future world military advisor was going to do, but when he saw the one who walked up again, he completely understood - this bastard actually turned Ergong Dao back to Fusang, and I can't see that you old boy really has a hand!

Nao-su let Yongmin go when he saw that his face was flushed.

However, he waited for a long time and didn't see Yataro Iwasaki, he immediately became nervous, these years are not safe for voyages, illness and security in the United States, isn't the future richest man in Fuso?

That's a big deal!

"Toranosuke can't do it, Yataro stays." Murata Yongmin looked at Naohide and knew what he was worried about, so he directly said relief.

After taking a breath of relief, Naohide couldn't wait to scold, he knew that Toranosuke stayed in the United States, after all, there was a big mess of things over there without a backing person, but didn't Yataro say in last year's letter that he wanted to come back, listening to Yongmin's meaning, Yataro stayed as an assistant, did there be a problem with the business?

"It's okay", saying that Yongmin stuffed another letter, Naohide hurriedly opened it, and only relieved when he saw the code on the envelope, it seemed that it might be "Toranosuke couldn't be busy, so he temporarily detained Yataro".

Naoxiu was about to take a quick look at what was written in the letter, when he was suddenly hugged by a strong man and kissed on the face.

“Merlin, konnichiha。”

“John！” Naoxiu was also overjoyed, he hugged this strong Western man with his backhand - although he had made an appointment before, it was so good that this person really appeared as promised!

Seeing this, Egawa Yingmin trembled on the side, could it be that this person was Nao-su in the West? It's so exciting!

Veneer kisses aren't what Young-min thinks, it's Celtic etiquette.

There is also a special person who went to North Ezo with the Western ship this time, that is, little John. Brian is the manager of Ham Heng & Co. John. Brian's eldest son, but he is not a member of Xianheng Foreign Company, but the manager of another foreign company, "Sanjiang Foreign Company".

In 1849, Naohide returned to Fuso from overseas, and then Gakujiro, who stayed in the United States, entrusted Old John to establish the Xianheng Foreign Company in Xiangjiang, specializing in the sale of the production of Naohide's forces in the United States and the white master.

The major shareholder of Xianheng Foreign Company is the trading company founded by Zhixiu and others in the United States, while Sanjiang Foreign Company is another attempt, and it is Zhixiu and others who support Little John. Brian established, in which they only have a small stake.

Oguri Tadashun once reported to the shogunate's big eye Tokori Riken, saying that the Hamhen foreign company was a Celtic organization and hoped to restore the country, but in fact, half of the right thing was that the manager of the Hamhiro foreign company, Old John, was indeed a Celtic, but there was another person who really wanted to restore the country, that is, Little John.

The potato famine of 1845-1850 changed Irel forever

And, the stupidity and prejudice of the English government caused more than a million deaths on Green Island, while nearly a million people emigrated during this period, and even after the Great Famine, more than 800,000 people continued to leave their homes, and the United States was the largest migration destination.

The power of Naoxiu and others in the United States actively helped these poor Celtic immigrants who had just arrived in the United States, and with the growth of their strength, they also helped more and more, so they also won the trust and support of the Celtic community.

Old John immigrated to the United States early, although he strongly supported the immigrant compatriots, but in reality he did not have the idea of returning to the country, but the young and vigorous son John Jr. was deeply moved by the tragic experience of his compatriots and hometown, he was determined to return to the country, and won the support of Naohide and Gakujiro.

With their patronage, John Jr. founded the Three Rivers & Co. in Heung Kong in 1851, specializing in trade with China, and the source of goods was mainly from the Xianheng & Co.

Old John is an ocean-going captain, loyal and trustworthy, only because of the relationship with Naoxiu and others has always been the manager of Xianheng foreign company, in fact, he is not very proficient in trade management, compared to management in fact, he prefers to sail, but he has to change careers when he is old.

Naoxiu and others were willing to support his son and give benefits to Sanjiang Foreign Company, and Old John was very grateful both public and private, so the relationship between the two sides became more intimate.

As for Zhixiu, the reason why they are not afraid of Brian's father and son colluding to make profits is very simple, the source of goods of Xianheng Foreign Company is controlled by the hands of Zhixiu's forces, and the children in the orphanage founded by Zhixiu and Yingzi in the United States have gradually grown up, and in recent years, they have also joined Zhixiu's industry in the United States, among which there are many who have joined Xianheng Foreign Company, so it is generally no problem - the fence is tightly tied, and there are good neighbors on the left and right.

After John Jr. set up his own door, he really burst out with greater enthusiasm and talent, and the operation of Sanjiang Foreign Bank was impressive, and he had become an Englishman, and he also absorbed some British officials in the Far East as shareholders - this is the strategy given to him by Naoxiu, England is in full swing, and there is little hope of recovering the country head-on, and only by entering the interior can it play a greater role, and John Jr. deeply believes this.

This time, John Jr. went to North Ezo for an important mission - the British Far East Fleet entrusted him to participate in the Far East Battle of the Crimean War, and was responsible for assisting the Pacific Fleet in attacking Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka.

Don't look at him as just a businessman, but as a well-known fur and ordnance trading company in Xiangjiang, Sanjiang & Co. has a lot to do with it. Basali has won the widespread trust of officials in the British Far East - under the guidance of Naoxiu, John Jr. befriended Basali in 1851, when Bashari was still a poor jingle governor translator, but then Bashari was prosperous, and in 1853 he became the deputy governor of Yangcheng, and this year he became the governor of a port, which can be called a rising star in the political circles of the British Far East.

However, although John Jr. was nominally in the war, he was in fact empty-handed, and did not even bring a single ship—the two steam-sail hybrid merchant ships and the two whaling ships were both from the Hamheng Foreign Company.

In fact, Sanjiang Foreign Company also has cargo ships, but they all run off the coast of China, so it is better to directly hire the ocean-going ships of Xianheng Foreign Company, and besides, the ships are all Celtic sailors, plus the relationship between my father, there is nothing inconvenient.

But before going to Kamchatka, in addition to unloading, little John . Brian also has to carefully discuss with Naohide, whether Petropavlovsk, who participated in the attack on Kamchatka, is reliable or not, and he gave away his life without getting any benefits, and he can't do anything like sending people to his head for a thousand miles!
