After getting off the ship, Qin Kai was really open to the Guangzhou of this era, seeing the coolies walking around outside the port, as well as foreigners and Western-style carriages from all over the world, he secretly praised in his heart, what a prosperous appearance! It's just that behind this prosperity, there is more than 200 years of heaviness and depression on the Chinese people.

The Opium War and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally alerted a group of Chinese people, although the people who opened their eyes to the world in this era were full of confusion, but the unyielding blood of the Chinese people made it difficult for them to start saving the country, Qin Kai knew that although his unique advantages made him know the end of this road very clearly, but for these pioneers in the dark, he was still full of respect.

Let me guide you with the light of industry and technology! Qin Kai took a big breath of the slightly salty air beside the coast, and the expression on his face changed, with joy and worry.

The two students, Huang Xing and Sun Xiang, saw the teacher standing on the platform on the side of the port and looking out from the railing, although they didn't know what the teacher was thinking, but they still stood aside respectfully and waited, and David, a German who officially joined the team, was obviously a little strange, and he didn't know what this young Chinese official was doing standing here with a complicated expression.

After waiting for a while, the German finally stepped forward and asked, "Dear Qin, I don't know where we are going next?" ”

"Ah...... Dr. David, what do you see standing here? Qin Kai suddenly asked with some emotion.

The German was obviously very depressed, but for the sake of the high salary, he still pretended to look around, "Dear Qin, Guangzhou Port is very prosperous, and as the earliest port in China, trade is developing vigorously. ”

Qin Kai smiled, this David really thought that the Europeans had brought civilization and democracy to China, and in the history of five thousand years of civilization, you only took a ride at the end, but your little butterfly came to change this qiē.

"David, you don't know these busy Chinese people at all, they have the most endurance and creative power, and there is the most amazing power among them," looking at Dr. David's surprised expression, Qin Kai smiled slightly, "Remember what I said today, I can't say that you will be able to see the proof soon." ”

A Westerner, a Chinese official, and two apprentice-looking people, this strange combination naturally attracted a high rate of return from everyone on the road, and soon the two men greeted them and reported to their families, and it was He Xing's uncle He Yong who arranged to pick them up.

After taking the carriage around the streets of Guangzhou for half an hour, they arrived at their destination, the He family had already rented a single-family mansion near the Guangzhou port as a venue for the procurement of raw materials in Guangzhou, and at the door of the house, Qin Kai met He Xing's uncle He Yong for the first time.

He originally thought that He Xing's uncle wanted to be an old man with gray hair, but to his surprise, He Yong was also in his forties, with a round face and slightly fat, which was too different from He Xing's black and thin appearance, with black hair, wearing a Suzhou embroidered blue satin robe, with jade pieces pinned to his belt, completely dressed as a rich man.

Seeing Qin Kai, He Yong naturally stepped forward, "Lord Qin, you can still be satisfied along the way!" ”

He naturally understood that this master was the seed of the He family's wealth now, and he came over to make a big gift, but he was grabbed by Qin Kai first, "Uncle He, there is no need to be like this in the official face, He Xing and I are brothers, count it, I am still a junior, let's not take this false courtesy." ”

He Yong listened to Qin Kai's words, but he was shocked, for the relationship between He Xing and Qin Kai, his eldest brother and he didn't think much about it, He Xing naturally said the experience of getting to know Qin Kai many times, in He Xing's opinion, the relationship between him and Qin Kai is just a friend to a friend, and Qin Kai is a character worth befriending.

For this time to be able to obtain such a valuable formula, they secretly thought that He Xing was lucky, this businessman was out of the house, and he also paid attention to a good fate, originally He Xing accidentally met Qin Kai, naturally he did not expect to be rewarded, and Qin Kai's actual return was already regarded as a wealth of the sky, which made the He family feel a little unsteady.

When he heard Qin Kai's qualitative brotherhood, he was shocked and secretly wrote down, he must pass the news back when he turns around, and the He family's future hundred years of wealth may not be here, which is naturally very careful for the arrangement of food and accommodation, and the wine and food are specially made and sent by nearby restaurants, and the price is not expensive. ,

Sitting on the wide table of eight immortals, a table of wine and food, Qin Kai, He Yong, David, Huang Xing and Sun Xiang were also called to eat together, for this, He Yong felt a little incredible, these two boys he knew, they were the disciples of the political secretary, according to the rules, it was only in the guest hall to eat, but ...... If adults like it, why not!

Qin Kai chatted with He Yong in official dialect, and chatted with David in English, which surprised He Yong again, this is still a second devil for Lord Yunju, but he immediately threw this idea out of his head, and heard He Xing say that this Lord Qin is very capable, and a picture asked Governor Ding to ask him to go out of the mountain, and he was promoted from a white body to a substantive post of the political secretary of Liupin in more than a month.

As the earliest open treaty port, foreign merchants in Guangzhou can be said to have gathered all over the world, and the chemical raw materials purchased by He Yong came from Western merchants in England and the United States.

It's just that he didn't know that when Qin Kai asked David at the same time, he had nothing to do with Western businessmen, and the three of them chatted while eating, leaving only two ignorant disciples who were eating fiercely on the side, and then looked at their teacher with admiration.

The next day, as soon as the sky saw the light, Qin Kai had already gotten up and started exercising, a set of military body boxing routines plus half an hour of long-distance running, the two students had long been accustomed to his move, and they also followed behind to learn, but they didn't know the bitterness in the teacher's heart, although the light brain can work at present, but the system repair has not progressed, and the strong exercise he picked out for this time can't add much biological energy, so this light brain has to be used inactively.

After breakfast, He Yong had already arranged the carriage, and Qin Kai would have someone to pick him up anywhere, which made him enjoy the treatment of an official for the first time, even in later generations, although he was a staff member of an important national security department, he did not have the opportunity to enjoy the treatment of a special car, and a private car was his only choice, although his private car had been upgraded to a shuttle!

"David, let's go, we're going to be busy today!" Qin Kai slept all night, and today he was still dressed in an official robe, and roared with a refreshing spirit, "Huang Xing, Sun Xiang, you two cubs don't hurry up!" ”

"Teacher, where are you going today?" The two students asked with a depressed look on their faces while holding a large bag of things.

Qin Kai got into the carriage, this Uncle He is a talent, the tea and everything in the carriage prepared have already been prepared, it seems that you can enjoy the morning view of Guangzhou on the road, he secretly said in his heart, patted the student next to him, and said: "Huang Xing, go and tell sù guy, let's go to the sand behind the White Goose Pond!" ”

Guangzhou City in the morning has obviously just woken up, but the streets are already full of people, the driving guys are obviously quite high, the carriage is not bumpy at all, and they can even taste the West Lake Longjing with peace of mind, leisurely looking at the bustling street market outside the window, but Qin Kai's mind is obviously not here, his face is facing outward, but his eyes and thoughts are no longer here.

David enjoyed this leisure, although he didn't suffer much this year, but he never found a way to make money in the East, this time he finally had a Chinese official hire him with a high salary, but he was also relieved, he looked out the window and was thinking, thinking about whether to ask for a salary increase in a year, but was startled by Qin Kai's loud shout.

"Stop!! Stop, go backwards!! ”

"Teacher? There's nothing in the back, huh? Isn't it just a pharmacy! The two students probed their brains, obviously a little depressed, and their teachers rarely looked surprised like this on weekdays.

"Stupid! Bao Zhilin! Haven't heard of it! Qin Kai asked with some doubts.

The two students looked dumbfounded, thought about it and shook their heads affirmatively!

"Huang Feihong? Guangzhou Ten Tigers? Thirteen aunts? Hiro? ”

After a string of words was thrown, Huang Xing finally remembered something, scratched his little head, stared at Qin Kai with some uncertain eyes, and said, "Teacher, Aunt Thirteen, I've heard it!" ”

"Oh......" Qin Kai was stunned, there are really thirteen aunts in this era, but how could Huang Xing, a Minnan boy, know!

Seeing Qin Kai squinting at him, Huang Xing immediately nodded affirmatively, "Teacher, when you slept in the middle of the night on the boat, you muttered several times—Aunt Thirteen!" ”

Qin Kai almost vomited blood, and immediately gave this kid a brain run, "Child, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, don't listen to a word of what the teacher says in the future!" Otherwise, 20 copies of the drawing will be fined! ”,

The two boys stuck out their tongues and looked at each other.

got out of the car and arrived at the door of Bao Zhilin Pharmacy, at this time there were already four or five patients in the store who were not very neat and waiting at the door, and a guy saw Qin Kai wearing an official robe, but greeted him very politely.

"This adult, if there is something to do with Bao Zhilin, the little one will go in and report it for you!" The guy greeted with a smile on his face.

Qin Kai had a lot of fun up and down a lot of guys, this guy was lazy and lazy, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he had kung fu, he beckoned and asked, "Man, is it Huang Feihong who is in charge of your Baozhilin?" ”

"My lord, you also know the prestige of the senior brother, our young master's kung fu has won the true inheritance of Master Huang! Could it be that the government came to hire our young master? "When the guy talks about kung fu, he is a little more energetic.

"Little brother, can I meet you senior brother today?" Qin Kai asked rather wickedly.

The guy snorted, "My lord, that's embarrassing, Master Huang and Senior Brother Feihong have been out for a few days, why don't you leave a message, and wait for Master Huang to come back and worship you, okay?" ”

Qin Kai was depressed for a while, he didn't expect to come to the fun, but he couldn't see the main owner, but this visit to Huang Da Prawn was also improvised, and he talked nonsense with his buddy again, only to know that Bao Zhilin's main business is now a martial arts hall instead of selling medicine, and the head of the house is still Huang Feihong's father Huang Qiying, and some bruises and injuries are also provided here, and the effect is good, and there are many people from all over the neighborhood.

The half-day tour of Guangzhou Baozhilin ended quickly, and without the main owner, Qin Kai immediately put his mind away, got into the carriage and continued to hurry.

Shamian is the only place for Huangpu Port to enter Guangzhou, the river is wide, can moor warships, 20 years ago, Britain and France with a rent of 1,500 yuan per mu to circle here, here was originally some wasteland, is not to cause disputes between the owners of the waterside official land; Moreover, Shamian is close to Xiguan, where the wealthy merchants of Guangzhou live, which is convenient for communicating with comprador merchants.

The British dug a river in the north to separate Shamian from the land, making Shamian a small island. Use granite to build the embankment all around, the island shape is built into an irregular goose egg shape, and then fill it with river soil, the north also uses granite to build the embankment, the people of Guangzhou call it the devil's base, and then it is troublesome, so it is simply called the ghost base.

On this artificially built island, two bridges were built to go back and forth, and when they arrived at the north bridge, there was a group of four tall British soldiers lazily leaning on the bridge, and they all needed to stay here to check when they entered the lease, which was naturally no problem, Qin Kai didn't bother to show his face, and David showed his head and passed.

The British Consulate is on Shamian South Street, and the French Consulate is on Shamian North Street, and after the carriage enters the concession, it goes all the way along Shamian South Street, and when it reaches the intersection, it turns to a Gothic complex on the west side.

"Lord Qin, there is the German consulate in front, I don't know how you are going to report your identity?" The Germans did not understand why the Chinese official surnamed Qin, who had paid to hire him, would come to the consulate of his home country.

Qin Kai handed over a thick large envelope, which was actually written in German - confidential, looking at this level of writing, Dr. David thought with his ass and knew that it was his employer's Mobao, and he was somewhat surprised that his employer could write in German.

"Dear David, you must forward this letter to the consul here, this is the first job entrusted to you, I hope you can do it well!" Qin Kai grinned and assigned the task.

"Would it be nice to give this letter to the consul?" For this strange and completely untechnical work, the Germans confirmed it with some depression.

"That's true! Of course, I hope this consul is not too mentally retarded, and you still have to remind him when needed! ”

In the Canton Consulate of the German Empire, Mr. Schleier was boredly flipping through some thin papers, which were all things that could not be done, and after reading a few pages, he completely lost interest, stood up and poured himself a glass of whiskey, shook the delicate glass, observed it in front of him for a moment, and then drank it with great enjoyment.

Far from his homeland, in this far east, Schleier's heart was quite bitter, he picked up the bottle again, and was about to pour another glass, when there was a knock at the door outside.

"Come in!" Schleier continued to carefully pour the yellowish whiskey.
