The third watch is coming, do you have any recommendations? Do you still have a collection? Support Big Rollo!

"I almost missed a big thing!" Bai Siwen patted his forehead and said to himself, "No wonder Zhu Jishi is willing to sell foreign guns to the Qing Dynasty...... It seems that it is still necessary to run its own military industry, and this foreign gun and gunpowder is related to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and it really cannot be controlled by outsiders! ”

"But do you know how to do the military industry?" Rodli asked with a smile, "Do you know where you can hire Western technicians who are proficient in military industry?" Do you know how many machines, molds, and raw materials you need to buy to open a military factory, and where is the location of this factory appropriate? ”

"I really don't know." Bai Siwen shook his head, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Rodley with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Rodley, if the official is not mistaken, you came to say these words to the official, right?" Say, what exactly is your purpose? What benefits do you want from this officer? ”

"Since Lord Bai has made it clear, then you might as well speak out." Luo Li smiled, "I heard a sentence below, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver!" In the Qing Dynasty, the most profitable business is nothing more than being an official! Is it? ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Rodley?"

Luo Li said in a good time: "I want to be an official of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"A foreigner?"

"It's advantageous to follow, didn't Tang Ruowang be an official of the Qing State back then? Now the Qing State is also planning to invite a few French officers to help train the army, I think that my skills are no less than that of John Tang, and Weishenme can't be an official of the Qing State? ”

Bai Siwen was right when he thought about it, he was indeed half a bottle of vinegar in foreign affairs, and it was completely with Zhu Jishi's guidance that he negotiated treaties with France and the United States. If you want to run a new army and open a factory, if you don't have someone to guide you, it will definitely be a bad thing, and then your future will not only be unsafe, but it will also affect the national glory of the Qing Dynasty, but you will not be able to redeem it.

……

"Are you going to be an official of the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhu Jishi frowned, this Rodeli went to Guangzhou, it seems that his brain has run out, and he actually came to himself to say such nonsense!

"That's right, Bai Siwen has agreed, as long as I hand over 20,000 brown basses to Yihexing, he will promote me to the Governor of Liangguang and the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to be an official ......"

Luo Li did not hide it, and said what he said to Bai Siwen in front of Zhu Jishi again, and saw that Zhu Jishi's nose was almost crooked, so he hurriedly added: "Actually, I also went to be an official for the Qing Dynasty to help you fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." ”

"You were an official for the Qing Dynasty, and you helped the Qing Dynasty run a military industry to help me?" Zhu Jishi's face was gloomy, if this was Lan Fang, he would probably call "Jinyiwei" to get people.

"Of course, I'm going to break into the Qing Dynasty so that I can grasp the trends of the Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs, so that I can inform you in time. Jason, should you also make me an official? "Rodley is serious.

"You still want to pedal two boats?"

Zhu Jishi's face is still very ugly, no matter how low the administrative efficiency of the Qing Dynasty is, the government-run industry will always strengthen the strength of the Qing Dynasty and add a lot of trouble to his future cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. And although he has money, he can't compare to the Manchu Dynasty after all, and there are 40,000 Han people who can exploit him, and a tael of silver on his head is 400 million taels! Even if you can only see the benefits of one tael of silver for ten taels of silver, it is equivalent to spending 40 million taels of military industry, and you can take out the same amount of silver and invest it in Lanfang's arsenal?

"Jason, in my impression, you are a very good businessman, with a first-rate business vision, how can you not see how much business opportunities there are in the official industry of the Qing Dynasty government......

After coming into contact with the officials, businessmen and officials of the Qing Dynasty, he found that even Bai Siwen, who claimed to be proficient in Western studies, and the businessmen who had been dealing with the West for a long time, were actually very ignorant of Western industry and commerce. And it is easiest for a layman who knows nothing and has a pocket full of silver to do business, and even the trash in the eyes of the insider can be sold for gold.

Therefore, the business opportunities of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to engage in government-run industries must definitely be seized! It is best to find ways to promote and participate in the process of running industry in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. That's why he thought about becoming an official of the Qing Dynasty through Bai Siwen's way, and once Bai Siwen regarded him as an assistant consultant for foreign affairs, then it would not be difficult to get the construction contract of the government-run factory. When the time comes, his Rodic & Co. will be the general contractor, and the contracted project will be given a large share to the Jishixing, so that the Jishixing will also make a lot of money, isn't this tantamount to helping Zhu Jishi to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore his sight?

"In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Qing Dynasty runs industry, and if we don't grasp this business opportunity, we will definitely grasp it if we don't grasp it, and Jardine and Bao Shunxing will also grasp it. When the time comes, won't this silver make scumbags like Jardine and Dian Di? “

Being reminded by him like this, Zhu Jishi remembered that the relationship between Bai Siwen and Jardine seemed to be extraordinary, and it was only a matter of time before the two hooked up again.

"So, how much profit are you going to share with me?"

Luo Li smiled, stretched out a slap, and said: "The order I got from the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be given to Jishixing at a price of ninety percent, but it can't be directly given to the head office of Jishixing." ”

"Understood, I'll just engage in a few more shell foreign companies." Zhu Jishi paused, "What about sixty percent?" ”

"You can't eat alone! The French are still waiting with their necks stretched out, or will they let the Ségur foreign company take it? Roderick smiled and lowered his voice, "Jason, how about you restore Daming in the future and be a marquis for me?" ”

"Well said, well said." Zhu Jishi picked up a bell on the table and shook it, and called Ren Yijiang, "Yichen, go and invite Zhang Zegen over." ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Jishi said to Luo Li: "It's no problem to arrange an envoy for you, right?" ”

"Okay," Luo Li certainly understood what Zhu Jishi meant, "In the future, it is inconvenient for me to meet you often, so I will let this Mr. Zhang pass on the news on my behalf, how about it?" ”

"That's what I mean." Zhu Jishi laughed. Speaking of which, this time he seems to have been used by the profiteer Rhode! But this result seems to be acceptable, how can there be anyone who doesn't take advantage of it? As long as everyone is profitable, don't take it so seriously.

……

"You also have to run your own military industry, Enming, this will cost a lot of silver, right? And what virtues do you really don't know about the Ministry of Internal Affairs? When the matter is in their hands, there is nothing that they will not smash. They are all clothed minions of the three banners, and they have served the first emperor since the beginning of the ten generations of ancestors......"

The Yamen, the governor of Liangguang, Qi Ying shook his head and said in embarrassment.

Bai Siwen shook his head with a sigh, "Sir, the lowly position is also an errand of the Internal Affairs Office, can you still know those bad rules?" However, if we want to be as safe as Mount Tai, this military industry must be done after all, in fact, this military industry does not necessarily have to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs......"

Qiying sighed, "Who is this errand not for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" The governor of the place? The military industry is the most important weapon of the country, which governor dares to bear it? Besides, this Western firearm manufacturing method is not something that just anyone can master, do you understand? ”

Bai Siwen said in his heart, isn't it just to guard against the Han people? If there was no Zhu Jishi, this would be really the case, but now Zhu Jishi's Jishixing is one of the largest military factories in the whole Shijie! The Han Chinese have long mastered the manufacturing method of Western firearms!

However, these words could not be said in front of Qi Ying, Bai Siwen considered it, and said: "It is better to set up another foreign affairs yamen, which is specially responsible for foreign affairs and the establishment of foreign affairs factories, and the Eight Banners Gun Factory and the Eight Banners Gunpowder Factory, which are responsible for manufacturing firearms by the Internal Affairs Bureau, are all included in the foreign affairs yamen......"

"Eun Ming!" Qi Ying suddenly interrupted Bai Siwen's words and said, "This kind of thing is something you can discuss?" ”

Bai Siwen was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The lesson of the marshal is that he is humble and confused. ”

Qi Ying waved his hand and said: "It's rare that you can think about the court like this, and now there are really not many people like you in our bannermen." In this way, when I went back to hand the emperor an excerpt, I said that it was the suggestion of the Marquis de Lacaly, the minister of France, so that no one would be offended. ”

"Marshal Xie mentioned." Bai Siwen hurriedly bowed.
