Sun Caixi couldn't tempt Gongsun Hao with such a big benefit, so he had to give up.

Everyone went out of the gate of Dewang Farm, and the Indians had already parked the carriage of the town hall in front of the door on Monday, and Gongsun Hao was about to get into the carriage when he saw three horse-drawn carriages pulling coal coming from the cinder road of Dewang Farm.

Sun Caixi also saw the three carriages that were coming, and he said to Gongsun Hao apologetically: "Assistant Gongsun, please wait, my coal truck is back." ”

Gongsun Hao looked at the coal cart that took up most of the road, and knew that they had to wait for the coal cart to pass before their carriage could pass, because only one carriage was allowed to pass through this section of the road, so what else could they do?

"Little farmer, you consume a lot of coal every day, right?" Gongsun Hao said without words.

Sun Caixi said: "No more, no less." These three wagons of coal are enough for us to burn for a while. This coal is indeed a good thing, you see, after burning, it can also be used to pave roads. ”

Secretary Xing asked: "Aren't you afraid of cuckling on such a cinder road?" ”

Sun Caixi smiled: "How can we people who wear shoes have their feet? Although those black slaves don't wear shoes, they are used to walking, so they are not afraid of glucking. ”

"Oh......" Secretary Xing nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Alright, you can get in the car."

The three coal carts stopped in the open space at the gate, waiting to get ready to enter the yard, because the carriage of the town hall was just stopped at the gate, and they had to wait for the carriage of the town hall to leave before they could enter the yard.

After Gongsun Haolin got into the car, he said meaningfully to Sun Caixi: "I'll send you a ...... message."

"Ask Assistant Gongsun to give advice."

"As a businessman, you must abide by the law!"

"Definitely, definitely."

As the assistant to the mayor of Chang'an, Gongsun Hao certainly knows that tobacco is one of the main economic sources of Chang'an, and he came to Dewang Farm this time with the purpose of visiting the tobacco industry, in addition, there is also the task of assisting the development of the tobacco industry.

Sun Caixi hoped that he would help Dewang Farm allocate a transport ship to transport tobacco to the UK for sale, and he would definitely inquire about this matter, because the Sun family's tobacco business was doing well, and the yamen was also profitable.

At this time, tobacco leaves were very marketable in the UK, and the profits were huge, and they could be sold at the price of gold.

Because China and Britain are allies, China's goods entering the British market is like entering their own market, and they can be unimpeded in the UK as long as they pay tariffs, and it is more convenient to circulate two currencies in the UK, the pound sterling and the Chinese currency.

The exchange rate between the Chinese dollar and the British pound is 1 Chinese dollar = 0.2 pounds.

If you want to use silver as currency, it is also possible, 6 Chinese dollars = 5 taels of silver = 1.2 pounds.

At this time, China's trade was not only with Britain, but also with most Western countries, but with Britain was the largest.

Of course, the rest of Europe does not dare to use Huaxia currency, and the current trade with them is all in silver, and there is a clear exchange rate with the currencies of these countries.

The unit of currency traded with Portugal is the peso; The unit of currency traded with Spain is the rial; The monetary unit of transactions with the franc is the franc; The unit of currency traded with Venice is the Ducat.

1 Chinese dollar = 1 peso = 7 riyals = 0.15 francs = 0.3 ducats.

The above exchange rate is based on the fact that the two countries are not at war, and in the event of a war, it is a different matter.

Although there will be local wars between China and the Netherlands from time to time, the two sides have always had good trade exchanges, and since the signing of the "Peace of Breda", the trade between the two countries has become closer, and the Chinese currency has also begun to circulate in the Netherlands.

The reason why Huaxia coins can circulate in the Netherlands is because of the comprehensive national strength of Huaxia, and the Netherlands is a country that worships business, and they have seen the strength of Huaxia and have never worried that they will not be able to buy Huaxia goods with Huaxia coins in their hands.

In the nine months of this year, Dewang Farm has earned 30,000 pounds in the United Kingdom, 30,000 pounds is equivalent to 150,000 Chinese dollars, this figure is in Gongsun Hao's filing cabinet, he came this time to see the scale of Dewang Farm, from the current situation, the Sun family is rich.

This year (as of September), Chang'an City Hall collected a tax of 50,000 yuan in Huaxia yuan from Dewang Farm, which is equivalent to 40,000 taels of silver.

What reason does the Yamen have not to support Dewang Farm?

Gongsun Hao returned to Chang'an, immediately came to the mayor's office, and reported to the mayor Hu Xinghua about this trip to Dewang Farm, of course, his private conversation with Sun Caixi will not be reported to the mayor.

Chang'an City is the New York of later generations, such an important city, Gao Junshan will not be handed over to ordinary officials to manage, look at the vice mayor of Chang'an City, you can know how much Gao Junshan attaches importance to this city, Mayor Hu Xinghua is the son of Hu Ying, Vice Mayor Liu Changgeng is the son of Liu Hongru, Vice Mayor Cai Sijie is the son of Cai Zhishan.

Hu Ying, Liu Hongru, and Cai Zhishan are all Gao Junshan's most trusted ministers.

After listening to Gongsun Hao's report, Hu Xinghua praised: "Your work is very meticulous, the development of farms in various places is one of my plans for the development of Huaxia in the Americas, so we must spare no effort to support these promising farms, especially those with development characteristics such as Xiang Dewang Farm." ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Mayor, then I will go to the wharf tomorrow and talk to Director Liu Wentai of the wharf management office, and ask him to allocate the transport ship to Dewang Farm." ”

Hu Xinghua said: "You don't have to go to the wharf, I will arrange someone to contact, tomorrow there is another thing for you to do, you go to the coal mine, the electric power department is about to send electricity to the coal mine, they have still negotiated the relevant matters, you go to coordinate the problems between the electric power department and the coal mine." ”

"What are their main problems?"

Hu Xinghua glanced at his pocket watch and said, "I still have a meeting to hold now, and the information about the electric power department and the coal mine has been handed over to Secretary Xing, if you have any questions, you can ask him." By the way, no matter how big the problem is, it can't affect the mining of coal mines, and that's the right I give you to deal with this problem. ”

When Gongsun Hao saw the mayor standing up, he also got up and said, "I'll go find Secretary Xing now." ”

Hu Xinghua's secretary whispered a few words in Hu Xinghua's ear, and Hu Xinghua said to Gongsun Hao: "Now you don't go to Secretary Xing, there is an urgent task for you to do." ”

"Ask the mayor for orders."

Hu Xinghua coughed before saying, "I have a dinner party at the Yuelai Hotel, and now I have a club that I can't leave, so you can go for me now." ”

"Well, isn't it?"

"There's nothing bad about it, you go socialize, just come back and tell me something, anyway, I don't want you to make any decisions."

After Hu Xinghua finished speaking, he hurriedly left the office.
