Chapter 154 Reporting
For the eight locust merchants, the lackeys of the Manchu Dynasty, Wang Yue felt that they still had some use value. That is to help him spread the goods of the starting point city to farther places, so that more people know. In a short period of time, the starting point city is still mainly construction, in addition to industrial construction and infrastructure construction, there is also a talent reserve that also takes time, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
Since the Fan family came to inquire about the news, let him find out, they can't snatch the weapons, and they can't drive away the tanks and armored vehicles. The whole world can't make these things, not even himself, let them see.
"Third master, this city is indeed extraordinary!" The Fan family's branch shopkeeper in Zhangjiakou, Zheng Chongzhi, said.
"Yes, anything in this city can be sold when you get it outside your mouth, but the silver we brought here this time is still too little. Go back to the Jingshi Money Village and bring up another sum of silver, and bring in more everything with iron. Especially those farm tools, but they are all good steel, and they can definitely be sold at a good price when they are sold in the Qing Dynasty! Fan Yongwen pretended to be unintentional while carefully observing the weapons of the defenders in the city.
Zheng Chongzhi laughed and said: "You can buy so many iron tools here, such good steel is actually made into farm tools, and it is so cheap, it is simply the price of cabbage." ”
They were originally entrusted by Fan Wencheng to go to the starting point city to help the Manchu Qing find out the news, but they didn't expect there to be surprises.
Fan Yongwen said in a deep voice: "What does this mean? It shows that this Wang Yue is not short of iron at all, and this person's strength cannot be underestimated. He has so much iron, so much wealth, he can pull up an army of 100,000 at will. Originally, I didn't believe that the Qing Dynasty would lose to him, but now I believe it a little. ”
Zheng Chongzhi sighed: "It's unbelievable, 100,000 Qing Iron Cavalry will lose to a group training of a few thousand people. ”
Fan Yongwen said: "Lord Fan, let's find a way to get that kind of firecracker, you can see if you can buy it from those soldiers at a high price." ”
The Manchus paid the greatest attention to the weapons of the army in the starting city, both to understand why this firearm was so sharp, and to take it back and copy it. Since you can't grab it, you can buy it, as much as you want.
Zheng Chongzhi nodded and said, "When I go back, I will arrange contact with these soldiers, and I believe that there is nothing that money can't do." ”
"Well, it's a pity that these iron cars can't be bought! It's useless to buy it, and you can't drive it away without oil. Otherwise, not only can Master Fan be able to deal with it, but it is also convenient for us to run outside the mouth, this thing is indeed better than a carriage! Fan Yongwen said enviously.
Wang Yue arranged for people to publicize the basic principle of the car everywhere, that is, to drink gasoline, not cooking oil. Because in the future, the car will go out to run transportation, peeping is inevitable, let them know the difficulty and retreat. Safety education and military training for drivers are also being carried out, and armed escorts must be formed to run transportation.
He then said, "The business here in the starting point city is going to be done for a long time, isn't their shop renting out?" You rent one, and there will be a trade point here. ”
The shops on the ground floor of the starting point city have begun to be rented out, because the income of the residents of the starting point city is the highest in the country. Although the rent is expensive, the tenants who come here to rent are still flocking to it.
All outsiders who come to the city of origin to do business must register and report at the security office, and be issued with a zero-hour ID card, the kind that is plasticized.
For small traders and hawkers, they are all gathered in the free market built with large sheds in the starting city, and in addition to the stall rental fee, a little management fee is charged every day. No stalls are allowed on both sides of the road, otherwise the aunts and uncles with red armbands will appear and be fined.
Zhou Kui's movements were quickly fed back to the starting point city and to Wang Yue.
The first to come was Sun Jinyong, as the official of Jinyi Weitang, Jinyiwei commanded the affairs, and the news was still very well-informed. Everyone at the bottom knew that he was good friends with Wang Yue, and he was not only promoted, but also made a fortune. So as soon as he heard the news, he immediately reported it to Sun Jinyong.
Sun Jinyong is the eyeliner arranged by Wang Yue in the capital, and Wang Yue explained that as soon as there was any wind and grass, he would report it immediately. He and Wang Yue are now in the same boat, even if there is no Wang Yue's order, he must also tell Wang Yue the news.
Wang Yue was very satisfied with his performance, and said with a smile: "Lord Sun is really a friend enough, and I have my own way to deal with Zhou Kui." ”
Sun Jinyong is gone, although other favors can't help, but his task is complete, maybe Wang Yue really has a way.
In fact, Wang Yue didn't think about what to do since he offended Zhou Kui, he just felt that his neck was relatively hard.
As a reborn person, the biggest advantage is the technical advantage, not the fluke. He never thought that once he was reborn and crossed the aura of pig's feet, he would definitely envelop him, and all kinds of good luck and all kinds of tricks and tricks would emerge one after another, and he would try and try again. So he didn't pin his fate on someone else or on a scheme from the beginning.
If he Wang Yue had been so good, he would not have been able to afford a house in his previous life, and he would have made a fortune early!
His confidence comes from strength, and his sense of security also comes from strength! As a former ordinary person, when you come to this Ming Dynasty, which is hierarchical and has no human rights at all, the safest strategy is to make no one move you, including the emperor. Fate is in his own hands, Wang Yue firmly believes in this.
Of course, he won't do nothing, waiting to turn his face with the imperial court, so he contacted the Beijing Office and asked Cao Ruyi to go to the starting point city to chat.
Cao Ruyi and Wang Yue have been walking more diligently, big rich people! Everyone likes it, not to mention that Wang Yue is not an ordinary rich man, just look at how many people are raised in that starting point city, and how much income those people have a month.
So every once in a while, I ran to the starting point city, and every time I went back, I was not empty-handed. All kinds of good wine, all kinds of fresh fruits, all kinds of glass products, coffee and chocolate and other snacks are also available, and even flashlights and the like are also available, of course, you can get a little silver or something.
Of course, the godfather is also indispensable there, and he praises Wang Yue for being sensible. Therefore, Cao Ruyi and the people in the Beijing Office are also familiar with each other, because sometimes he doesn't come to the starting city, Wang Yue will also ask someone to bring him something.
Cao Ruyi sighed, what a hardcore buddy!
As soon as he heard that Wang Yue told him to go to the starting point city, he didn't say a word, and after arranging the errand in the palace, he rushed to the starting point city. His carriage is different now, four-wheeled, rubber tires, not bumpy at all.
In fact, Wang Yue had the tricycle dismantled and modified. He modified dozens of carriages, and leather chairs were installed in the carriages, and there were shock absorbers under the carriages, so they were many times more comfortable than the carriages of this era. And it's a carriage made of modern craftsmanship, and it's quite exquisite.
In addition to Cao Ruyi, Cao Huachun, Xie Baoqing and the British government all sent a few cars.
