Now that Guangzhou has become its own territory, it cannot be allowed to continue to decline. The www.biquge.info must regain the lost share of the business. Feng Yunshan thought secretly. However, the biggest profit of this business is still earned by foreigners. He knew that the price of raw silk, which cost 300 taels and 1 quintals, had more than doubled in price in Europe and the United States.

When is it the fundamental plan to form your own trading fleet. This brings us back to the original question: a strong naval division is needed.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan put aside the thoughts in his mind and didn't think about him. For now, let's take a look at the situation in the foreign bank area of the Thirteen Lines.

Under the recommendation of Wu Chongyao, Feng Yunshan, Zuo Zongtang, Liu Shengbang and others came to the foreign bank area on the side of the Thirteen Lines. Wu Chongyao introduced that the people of Guangzhou called the foreigner area opened by foreigners, called Yiguan District. Originally, there were nearly two or three hundred foreigners living at most, but after Xu Guangjin, the governor of Liangguang, and Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, took office, they ordered the government and the people to suppress them vigorously, resulting in less than 100 foreigners in Yiguan District.

After the rebels rebelled and besieged Guangzhou City a while ago, most of the foreigners returned to Hong Kong Island and Qimen to escape the war, and there were only more than ten foreigners who did not leave and return to Yiguan District.

Wu Chongyao led the way, and the first thing he came to was a Swedish shop, where the owner had fled back to the gate and entrusted two missionaries to help guard it.

One is pastor Han Shanming from Sweden and the other is Li Liji from Hamburg.

They were originally missionaries in Baoa County, but they were expelled by the local government and had no choice but to return to Hong Kong Island, but they met businessmen from Sweden and invited them to come to Guangzhou to help guard foreign companies.

Feng Yunshan asked Wu Chongyao to introduce his intentions and invited them to participate in the opening of Nanyang Company tomorrow.

Then, Feng Yunshan learned from the two of them about the goods they were selling, which turned out to be wine, glassware, silver dollars, cloth, and the like.

In Feng Yunshan's opinion, it didn't have much effect, but Feng Yunshan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mr. Pastor, since you have glass for sale, can you hope for a telescope?" ”

"Your Excellency, what do you want the telescope for? We have a telescope in Sweden, but there are not many, several times and more than ten times each have a few pieces, if you need a large number, you have to transfer goods from the warehouse in the door. How much do you need? ”

"How many are about ten times as many, I take them all, and I want them all. I can also ship it from the warehouse in the gate, I want 500 of them. Feng Yunshan didn't care and replied.

"How much?" Han Shanming was taken aback, five hundred? There are only a few dozen of them in the entire Qimen warehouse. This must be a telescope ordered for the army!

"Your Excellency, I'm very sorry, our warehouse is far from enough, we don't know if we can get it together from other foreign companies, but the price may be more expensive."

Feng Yunshan frowned: "Then you don't need to." That's all. "Joke, isn't it just two convex glass cylinders, buy a few, and let the craftsman do it himself.

In Yiguan District, there are Xiaoxi Xing, Holland Xing, British Baohe Xing, Fengtai Xing, Long Shunxing, Sweden Xing, Imperial Xing, Baoshun Xing, American Xing, Mingguan Xing, France Xing, Spain Xing, Denmark Xing, etc.

Feng Yunshan walked out of Sweden and walked along the block, from west to east. However, I saw that many foreign companies were closed, and it was obvious that many foreigners had not yet figured out the details and fled from Guangzhou without returning.

What they didn't know was that after the Taiping Holy Kingdom occupied Guangzhou City, Feng Yunshan specially explained that he should not rob the foreigners' trading houses, so as not to drive all the foreigners away, and they could not do business, but they would lose a lot because of less.

Continuing forward, I saw a small foreign company between the Ming official line and the French line, with the door open, and a crooked traditional Chinese character signboard hanging on the door: "Lihe Foreign Bank".

Feng Yunshan saw that a foreign company finally opened the door, so he led everyone in.

Richie. Karenwei arrived in Guangzhou yesterday afternoon.

As soon as we approached the city of Guangzhou, we noticed that there was a noticeable change: the original Manchu soldiers with ugly braids were all gone, and the guards at the head of the city became a group of strong men with red scarves on their heads, holding swords and shotguns, which looked like they were all in shape.

Leading a group of Indian servants and carrying a barge full of cargo, Ricky Ratchet led through the Water Gate. Karenway habitually took out twenty silver dollars, as he usually entered the city, to honor the Manchu guards guarding the Water Gate.

However, it was a man with a red scarf on his head, claiming to be the commander of the Taiping Holy Army, saying that he welcomed foreign brothers to come to Guangzhou to do business, and there was no checkpoint fee, and everything was free of charge.

Free pass? Richie. Karenway remembers being shocked! When is Guangzhou City so suitable for doing business? Is this still the city of Canton occupied by the rebels?

Even the Manchu officials who were defeated and forced to open the treaty ports still secretly ate and took cards, and there were endless emerging, and Ricky, who had been doing business in Guangzhou for many years. Karenwei has long been used to it. But this rebel army, who should have been extremely vicious, didn't expect to be so amiable and call himself a foreign brother?

When will these arrogant and arrogant Chinese, who have always called themselves ghosts, treat themselves so politely? Richie. Kalunway was a little confused.

After entering the city, he came to the door of his own foreign business. Kalunway was surprised to find that the door he had locked had not been pried open at all. And on the streets, there are constantly queues of rebels with red scarves on their heads patrolling back and forth.

It was these rebels who protected their foreign firms! Richie. Karenway was even more amazed! You must know that people like them who travel thousands of miles to do business are most afraid of war, which will make people lose their money. In this city of Guangzhou, which hates foreigners, this is simply a miracle!

Richie. Karenway's heart suddenly settled down. Perhaps, these rebels can be trusted more than the Manchu government!

It's been a busy night, Ricky. Karenwei and the hired Indian guys moved all the goods on the ship into the yard behind the foreign company.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of people walking in. It's Chinese!

Several guards with red scarves on their heads surrounded a handsome man in a yellow robe, followed by his entourage.

Richie. Kalunwei found that the handsome man in the yellow robe was not angry and arrogant, and had the momentum of a superior person, so that he, as the owner of the foreign bank, did not dare to speak rashly.

"Are you the boss of this foreign company? What country of people? A middle-aged attendant asked himself in English.

"Hello gentlemen! I'm Ricky. Karenwe, from Prussia! What do you want to buy? "Ricky. Karenway replied cautiously in Cantonese. He has been in Xiangmen and Guangzhou for many years, and he is also half a local.

"Are you Prussian? It's great to be able to speak Chinese. The yellow-robed man at the head said: "I am Feng Yunshan, the Holy King of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, and I happen to be looking for you for something!" ”

"There's a huge opportunity to make a fortune in front of you! Don't know if you'd like to catch it? The yellow-robed man asked.

"Your Highness the Holy King, I came to Guangzhou to make a fortune. We'd be happy to help you. If there is anything you want, just ask! "Ricky. Karenway put himself low.

"This king has a new occupation of Liangguang, and there are many more places to be occupied, so a lot of advanced weapons are needed! I heard that Prussia had good weapons. Can you get it? The majestic Holy King asked.

"Your Highness, you are so wise! Prussia is the most advanced weapon country in the whole of Europe, no, no, the whole of the world! You're looking for me! I am also the consul of the Kingdom of Prussia in Canton, and even if my foreign bank is out of stock, I can help you find goods from other Prussian merchants or even Prussia. ”
