In winter, Jinshanwei Wharf is much more deserted, and there are often no boats docked for several days.

After the Gojo Daifuku boat docked, it was quickly noticed.

Hey, isn't this the ship that commands the Lordship?

The military households were very surprised, especially after seeing the big ship full of goods, they were even more surprised, five big ships only went out for half a day, at most it was the time to walk a bay, how could they pull back so many goods.

With five ships of this size, all full of cargo, how much is it worth?

Not only were five large boats full, but several smaller boats were also filled with cargo.

Military households are tongue-in-cheek, this is also too rich.

I wanted to see it clearly, but the two thousand soldiers standing in line on the dock made people dare not approach, so they could only stand in the distance and watch from afar.

The big ship finally docked, and the soldiers immediately began to carry the goods down.

The first batch of boxes that were loaded into the car were thousands of boxes, no one knew what was inside, only that this was the most important goods for the commander, and after being loaded into the cart, Li Chuan took his family and personally escorted the goods away.

There were so many cargoes that none of the five Daifuku ships could be loaded, and there were thousands of tons.

There were artificial gemstones, mirrors, insulated glasses and other goods used to exchange for silver, as well as hundreds of tons of pork and flour and other daily necessities that Li Chuan bought, as well as the remaining 80 mortars and a batch of ammunition.

There are also 2,000 M14 semi-automatic rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition.

These are all things that have been accumulated for months, and I took this opportunity to take them out together.

Stone House, Inner Courtyard.

"Master, there's news."

The housekeeper hurriedly entered the inner courtyard and reported to Shi Jianyu: "Just now there was news from the dock, and the commander sent the master to go out to sea with five big fortune boats and more than twenty small boats for a turn, and when he came back, the five big boats and several small boats were all full of goods. ”

"Goods?"

Shi Jian got up and said in disbelief: "Is it really Western goods?" ”

The steward said, "Our people don't dare to come close to see it, but those boxes are really different, and most of them are Western goods." ”

Shi Jian couldn't believe it, and said: "It's the middle of winter, it's impossible for Westerners' cargo ships to arrive in the middle of winter, and there is no reason to deliver them in winter if they arrive in summer and autumn, where are those goods put and they can be pulled back in less than a day, I'm afraid that the goods are near Jinshanwei, and there will be a large-scale fleet on the sea near Jinshanwei recently?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this!" ”

Shi Jian thought for a long time before he muttered: "That's it, it doesn't matter where his goods come from, as long as they are Western goods, don't lose the money of the official." Go and ask those businessmen to see what they have to say. ”

The housekeeper agreed, and when he turned around, he went to find Wan Youqing and the others in person.

But at this time, Wan Youqing and the other seven agents had already gathered at the commander's residence, and the housekeeper naturally failed to meet anyone.

It was not only Shi Jian who got the news, but also officials of all sizes in Jin Shanwei who received the news, knowing that the commander had taken a few large ships out and brought back five large ships and several small ships of goods, all waiting for the exact news.

What is the purpose of handing over people and land?

It's not just the silver of the white flowers, this looks like the New Year, if the Western goods are not enough, everyone has to put forward some opinions, there are rules for buying and selling, even if it is the emperor, you have to keep your word when you do business.

Dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, even if it is the emperor Laozi, we will have to make a big fuss.

Commanding Envoy's Residence.

Seeing boxes of goods being moved into the big warehouse, Su Xiaomei's eyes were full of surprise, but she didn't ask where these goods were shipped from, which made Li Chuan secretly relieved, and there was no need to lie and explain hard.

"Come, little sister, take a look at the gift that my husband has prepared for you."

Li Chuan waved his hand, and a family member immediately brought over a small bag with a strange shape.

"What is this?"

Su Xiaomei looked at Xiaobao curiously, not knowing what gift Li Chuan had prepared for her.

"Just look at it."

Li Chuan sold it, took the small bag from the family, and went to the inner courtyard.

Su Xiaomei was aroused, she had seen those Western goods, all of them were exquisite to the limit, it can be said that they were ingenious, since they were specially prepared for her, she knew that it would not be bad.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, Li Chuan opened the bag and took out the SLR camera inside.

"What is this?"

Su Xiaomei looked at the camera, her eyes full of doubts.

This thing has a strange shape, and it is the first time she has seen it.

"It's the camera!"

Li Chuan said: "I won't say the specific principle for the husband, you can't understand what you say, don't stare at the husband, Westerners have embarked on the road of developing science, what science tells you don't understand, anyway, you just need to know, this thing can take pictures, this is a gift that the husband finally got for you, there is only this one." ”

Su Xiaomei was immediately full of happiness, although she didn't know what photography was, but just this one thing was enough to show that her husband had a heart, this is the most important thing, and as for what the gift does, it is secondary.

"Master, what's the use of this camera?"

Ping'er joined in the fun next to her, endured it for a while, and couldn't help it, so she hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's a photo!"

Li Chuan responded casually, and saw that Su Xiaomei and Ping'er's master and servant were still confused, so he said: "You stand up, I'll take a picture of you, Ping'er go over, stand next to Mrs., yes, stand closer, look at the camera, and laugh again!" ”

Click!

During the shutter sound, there was a flash of bright light.

Su Xiaomei and Ping'er were startled and subconsciously closed their eyes.

"Who told you to close your eyes?"

Li Chuan took out the photo and looked at it, both of them closed their eyes, and they were a little speechless.

Su Xiaomei hurriedly came over and poked her head to take a look, and immediately screamed out.

Ping'er was curious, so she also leaned over to take a look, and unsurprisingly followed suit.

"This ......"

Su Xiaomei's eyes widened, and her pretty face was full of disbelief: "Husband, how can there be anyone in this camera?" ”

Li Chuan immediately felt that his head was big, and he really couldn't explain the scientific phenomenon to her, so he tried to make it easy to understand: "It's not that there are people in the camera, but that this camera can store images, as long as you press the shutter above, you can store the images seen in the lens. ”

Su Xiaomei still didn't understand, so she carefully took the camera and took pictures under Li Chuan's teaching.

I held the camera and looked at it for a long time, and I didn't know where to shoot.

"Ping'er, you go and stand there and let Madame take pictures."

Li Chuan had no choice but to instruct Ping'er to let Xiaoya freeze over and let Su Xiaomei shoot.

Ping'er responded diligently, and hurriedly walked to the hall and stood, looking at Mrs. with blank eyes.

Su Xiaomei leaned on the viewfinder with one glass, and pressed the shutter according to Li Chuan's instructions.
