"Heaven and Earth will meet Han Si, Liu Peng, Liu Jiong, I wish Mr. Feng is the main thing, drive out the Tartars, and restore the world!"

Han Si, Er Liu, plus one of themselves, just a Gang of Four! Zhu Jishi looked at the three in front of him lightly, and sighed in his heart, let's talk about it, I don't blame them, it's all my own fault! I have long known that it is the Qing Dynasty, so I should temporarily hide the surname Zhu, this surname Zhu and the Qing Dynasty are in conflict! Well, the surname is handed down from the ancestors, and you can't change it casually, so let's change the name for the time being. Look at it, it's more catchy! Even if you don't change your name or your surname, you should throw away the jade pendant that caused trouble! Even if you don't throw it away, you can't show it everywhere, and you shouldn't give it to Maria. Clementina's face is still in trouble, and the old pope who doesn't know what to do, and this old pope is still full of propaganda in Europe after reading it......

It's okay now, I have both rich and foreigners' thick legs to hug and I am a descendant of the Ming Emperor, and when I meet this last day of the Qing Dynasty, no one will believe it if I don't rebel!

Now that Chen Jinnan and Wei Xiaobao's apprentices and grandchildren have come to the door, what should they do? What to do? Tell them that he, the Ming Emperor, is actually impersonating? What kind of jade pendant was given by someone else...... Does anyone believe this? And these are also three subordinates, and they may still be relatively capable cadres. In this era, the Chinese who can travel thousands of miles to the West are not ordinary people, and after seeing Western customs, they have a common language with themselves. And there is a heaven and earth society behind them! It seems that this organization has many disciples, and with their help, the university college that he opened in Hong Kong is not afraid that no one will come.

Moreover, that Erliu seems to be still a person from the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou, and the Thirteen Lines should be very rich, right? I don't know if I can ask the Thirteen Lines to donate some money to his college and university through Er Liu's way? Save yourself all your hard-earned money.

It seems that he can't push these three out yet. As for rebellion, well, since they want to serve themselves as their lords, they must listen to themselves when they oppose nature! If the time is really ripe for rebellion, you might as well reverse it...... After all, his identity as a descendant of the Ming Dynasty has been confirmed, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not deal with him, so it is probably a matter of time before he fights against the Qing Dynasty, and he may really be able to rebel and succeed as the emperor!

By the way, the Taiping Revolution in history seems to have broken out around 1850, and if the Qing Dynasty had not solved the problem of the nation-state by that time, it would have been better to ......

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, raised his hand and motioned for the three people in front of him to stand up straight and speak.

"Han Si, what's your font size?"

"The subordinates are willing to break the Qing army for the main attack!" Han Silang said.

That's a big deal! Zhu Jishi smiled faintly, this kid, I thought he was an honest man, but I didn't expect him to be an ambitious person! It seems that his ability to recognize and see people needs to be improved.

He nodded and said, "Po Jun, Mu Wen, Mu Lin, since you are willing to serve me as the master, then from now on, you must listen to my orders, and you can't do things on your own." As he spoke, his voice suddenly sank, "You know what? ”

"My subordinates know!" The three of them spoke in unison.

"Break the army," Zhu Jishi looked at Han Si, this black man was still so loyal and honest, "From now on, follow Will well. Hemming learns Western military strategy. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Han Si is so happy! Isn't studying the military strategy just to prepare for a rebellion? In the future, he will be a very good minister.

Zhu Jishi nodded, and said in his heart: "It's better for this black guy to hang around outside less, so as to save others from being deceived again." ”

"Muwen," Zhu Jishi looked at Liu Jiong, "Do you speak foreign language?" ”

"My subordinates can only speak English, can read and write, and they all learned from foreigners in the college of Jardine House."

The Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou are doing foreign business, and most of the guys below can speak foreign languages, in order to cultivate talents, the Thirteen Lines also set up a academy to teach foreign languages.

"Yes, you will follow me from now on, but don't break the relationship with Jardine and Hong Kong." Zhu Jishi paused, and then asked, "How much does Jardine Matheson owe to Jardine Matheson?" Can you get it back? ”

Liu Peng smiled bitterly, "Jardine Matheson owes Jardine Bank 920,000 taels of silver, and it is not easy to recover it." ”

"Do you have credentials?"

"There's an IOU from Mr. Jardine." Liu Peng took out a contract for borrowing money on credit from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Jishi with both hands.

Zhu Jishi saw that Jardine's had sent more than a dozen boatloads of tea and silk to Jardine on credit to Jardine before leaving Guangzhou. At the same time, a batch of opium worth more than 900,000 taels of silver was handed over to Jardine Matheson, and the contract stated that if the opium was confiscated by the Qing government, the loss would be borne by Jardine Matheson.

"Opium confiscated?" Zhu Jishi asked.

"That's right, the opium stored in Guangzhou was confiscated by Lord Lin, but later our thirteenth bank paid more than 6 million taels to compensate the foreign merchants for their losses, and Jardine's Jardine Matheson also got the money."

"So there will be difficulties in collecting the debts? There is a law in the UK, you have a loan contract as a basis, I will help you contact a lawyer when you go back, and this lawsuit can be guaranteed to win. ”

Liu Peng frowned and said, "But Mr. Jardine said that the Qing Dynasty government did not confiscate the opium that he stored in Jardine, but bought it...... Buy a box of opium with five catties of tea! Therefore, we sold the opium at a low price, which had nothing to do with Jardine Matheson, and later the indemnity of the imperial court had nothing to do with our transaction with Jardine Matheson......"

"That's right," Zhu Jishi thought for a while and said, "Isn't it okay to collect this debt?" ”

Liu Peng said with a smile: "The implementer doesn't expect to repay it, after all, this money is not the same thing in England and Guangzhou." ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Zhu Jishi asked with interest.

"Here's the thing, the maritime trade is actually a cycle, the British first export their textiles to India, then Indian opium to China, and then tea and raw silk from China to the British. The profits of this triangular trade are extremely lucrative. If the ship does not encounter any accidents along the way, at least it will be several times the profit. Therefore, if Mr. Jardine's is willing to give us 70,000 to 80,000 pounds in England, we will hire a ship in England to buy goods and sell them all the way back, which will be enough to earn back 900,000 taels of silver. ”

"There are so many!" Zhu Jishi took a breath and said in his heart: "900,000 taels of silver is 300,000 pounds!" After deducting the capital of 80,000 pounds, there is a profit of 220,000 pounds! Your own hero pharmaceutical may not be able to earn this number in a year! ”

"Theoretically, there is, but the risk of sea trade is extremely high, when it encounters wind and waves, the ship is destroyed and people die, and if you encounter pirates, it depends on luck. Moreover, the route from England to China had always been monopolized by a few British trading houses with ties to the East India Company, because the most profitable of them was the export of opium from the East India Company to Canton. Let's go once in a while, maybe we can still find a source of goods, but we can't use Turkish opium to pass off as East India Company opium, if we want to operate for a long time, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Zhu Jishi looked at Liu Peng and suddenly asked, "Mu Wen, do you want to get involved in maritime trade?" ”

Liu Peng shook his head, "It's just this once, the business of sea trade is a ...... that violates the imperial court ban."

"Violation of the ban? Isn't it too early for the country to open its doors? ”

Liu Peng smiled bitterly, "Foreigners can come in, but it is still forbidden for us to go out, but we can't control the entry and exit of personnel in and out of the imperial court, but it is a different matter to buy sea ships, after all, sea ships are mostly armed, and they are not weaker than sailor ships." ”

"Is the silver of the sea trade easy to earn? If you don't take the India and UK routes, what other routes are there to take? ”

"Take the route of the South Seas, which can be extended all the way to Australia, the colony of the British Yi."

"What output?"

"Piglet."

"Selling pigs?" Zhu Jishi was stunned. Han Si next to him interjected: "Lord, it's not selling pigs, it's selling people!" ”

"Sell piglets!" Zhu Jishi nodded, remembering that there was indeed such a thing. He himself is a Cantonese himself, and there are many overseas Chinese relatives in his original hometown, and he himself has distant relatives in Nanyang, all of whom sell piglets!
