From Lin Hai Fengshun lì completed a visit to Russia and returned to China. So far. Lin Haifeng's commitment to Alexander II in Russia on behalf of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government. None of them have not been honored. And that's not all. With the unremitting efforts of His Excellency Chairman Lin. The Heavenly Government also gave Russia even more inhelp.
The year when Lin Haifeng and his entourage returned to China. After the persuasion and mobilization of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government. The most powerful No. 1 private business owner under the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Gu Tonglin, who is now known as the president of the "Tianjing Gu Business Group". He appointed his only son Gu Xuetao to Russia in person.
Here's a clarification. Because it was said before. Gu Tonglin actually has two sons under his knees. The eldest son, Gu Xuejiang. The second son, Gu Xuetao. Back then, in order to repay the Celestial Empire's kindness to him. Gu Tonglin originally wanted to contribute his two sons to the Heavenly Empire. That is, to hope for his two sons. were able to become part of the glorious ranks of the Red Army fighting for the defense of the Celestial Empire.
But. Out of concern for Gu Tonglin. Although Lin Haifeng accepted his eldest son Gu Xuejiang. But he still left Gu Xuetao by his side.
Under the personal care of Lin Haifeng. It has the reliable backing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government. The Gu family's business has clearly begun to grow bigger and bigger. Of course. It will be even bigger in the future. Naturally, there are many things. There was not a suitable helper left by Gu Tonglin's side. That's obviously not going to work.
And because of his participation in the revolution, Gu Xuejiang. To fight forever on an extremely special kind of covert front. So. Recovered from Suzhou. Gu Xuejiang changed his name to Xue Jiang and went to Beijing, the capital of the "Great Qing Dynasty", when Gu Tonglin in Zhenjiang came to a news that made him "extremely sad". His Chang Gu Xue unfortunately died at the hands of the rebels in Suzhou. Thereupon. Gu Xuetao became the only son under Gu Tong's knees.
This Tianjing Gu clan merchant group referee-Pei Gong arrived in Russia for no day. An agreement was reached with the Russian government. Immediately adjacent to the village of Ivanovo in the Moss province. Establishment of a large enterprise under the title "Moscow Garment Trading Company".
It should be clarified. The reason why Gu Xuetao met the Russian government to reach an agreement so quickly was that Tianjing Gu Shang 1 promised. All new equipment of the Moscow Garment Trading Company. All of them were brought from China by the Gu merchant group themselves. The Russian government only needs to provide the necessary soil and construction costs. Second, as long as the Russian government can give preferential treatment and guarantees in terms of taxation, security, etc., the Moscow garment merchants will start construction smoothly. And it was in normal operation for ten years. Ten years later, all the assets of the Moscow Garment Trading Company, to which the Gu merchant group belonged. It can be transferred to the Russian government free of charge.
The whole modern factory is given to us? It's simply a legendary allure. The Russian government went down to Alexander down to all the officials. Don't think about it. I think this is a great thing.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's advantages in clothing design. We've all heard of it. But I just don't have to see it with my own eyes. Now. They come with a full set of state-of-the-art equipment. The technical team came to our Russia. We don't have to spend a penny. You just need to wait patiently for ten years. You can get to this qiē in vain. Unless someone has a brain in the water. Otherwise. There will be no opposition.
Of course. There is not a single capable person in the Russian government. There was a very different official. Indeed, questions have been raised. Let's go into the ground. Invest in capital construction. How can this be said that we didn't spend a penny? Other than that. He-1 The Chinese themselves have passed down such a saying through the ages. It's called no treacherous business. But how could the Gu family, which is also a businessman, be so merciful? It can't be an ulterior motive, right?
But as soon as this faint voice appeared. Immediately the overwhelming wave of rage was drowned out.
What are you? The big men of the Taiping Kingdom came from thousands of miles to our St. Peter's Fort to take a walk. We signed a series of cooperation agreements. It's for their face. At least give us a little cheaper, no-again. Why did the first tranche buy and sell them, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government itself did not contribute to it. Instead, he picked someone who had money to deal with us. It's not like they don't fully trust us at all. Let's call this rich man first. Plainly. They do so for the purpose. Just because even if they are deceived by us in the end. The loss is only a little bit of personal stuff. And to their government. But it didn't have the slightest impact.
Other than that. Aren't we just a little bit of skin. Leveled up a bit. How many houses have been built? And what can this cost - the skin is our tsar's. Strength comes from slaves. Build a house of any kind of material. That one was not taken from your house. What do you care?
The experts and scholars in Russia, who understand economics, are more scientific and specific about the benefits of Moscow's garment manufacturers. They started from the whole of the Russian economy. v. Owner. The village of Ivanovo is known in Russia as a specialized village for prevention. It is the production base of cloth, cotton and wool products. If it is possible to establish a large-scale garment processing enterprise in its vicinity. then cloth and cotton wool products from the village of Ivanovo. Not only can you find a market nearby. Greatly reduced
The middle link. It will also contribute to the further development of industry in the village of Ivanovo and its surrounding villages. Not to mention the large-scale benefits that can be made from this district. The take-off of the Russian garment industry. It's all about that.
That's it. May 1860. Just a month after Gu Xuetao reached an agreement with the Russian government to build the factory. Nearly 1,000 sewing machines made by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom arrived in Russia. Another few months later. The Moscow Garment Trading Company was officially put into operation. And their production efficiency. It is even more dumbfounded by all the people in the industry.
“…… The smooth start of the Moscow Garment Trading Company. This model of ours was soon widely accepted by the Russian governments. It's only been a few years. The branch of the Gu Merchant Group in Russia. It was made up of a separate Moko Garment Trading Company. It developed into the Gu Russian merchant group. A huge garment system consisting of tens of thousands of sewing machines. The handmade clothing industry in Russia was completely destroyed almost overnight.
Of course. In addition to these. At the same time, this is also a profiteering behavior that is difficult to imagine during the Celestial Empire.
Over here. We never have to worry about taxes. Don't worry about safety. If the tax collectors dare to come to us, they will take off. They all know it. Just write a letter to Fort St. Peter's. Or even just a message. They took off the skin. Roll the cover and roll the eggs. As for those who want to come and make trouble with us. It doesn't matter what you do. Then you can touch your neck first, is it hard enough? Don't say that you came to provoke us, people from the Celestial Empire. It is to dare to touch the fingers of any worker in our trading company. You were severely punished by the tsarist government. Because all the trading companies and business groups in which the Celestial Empire participated. Those are all special enterprises of Tianhao......
…… Over here. It's hard for anyone to imagine. Some of the skilled workers that we have trained. Despite their hard work from morning till night. But we don't have to pay them. It doesn't matter if they live, grow old, sickness or die. Even if you only have one breath left. It is also necessary to contribute to our trading company...... We just have to pay. It's three meals a day. There are also accommodations. I feel distressed. But I can't help it. Because they are slaves - 1 no. It's never possible to get anything of your own..."
The above is taken from Gu Xuetao's "I Struggle for the Thirty Years of Peace and the Country".
But Russian economic experts and academics. But I didn't see that. What they saw. It's just that tens of thousands of units are new and fast. Just step up with your foot. You can hula la to produce a variety of costumes to the magic of the machine. It's simply amazing. It was too good to bring the Tsarist Empire into the process of modernization overnight.
This is not surprising at all. Russian experts and scholars are too eager for quick success. in their eyes. A Russia that wants to think about the great goal of modernization. What is needed is all the most advanced technology and equipment in this world. As for people. They are never short of two-legged people. This is the last word in the development of science.
Or in the Russians want to come. It was probably the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom side that saw clearly the Gu merchant group who was the first to come to their Russia to eat crabs. I really enjoyed the fat and tender crab. Next. Not only the Gu business group, on the one hand, stepped up to expand its chain in the Russian garment industry. On the other hand, it began to cooperate with the Rozov, Grachev, Borisov and other families. Various methods such as investing in new technologies, updating existing equipment, and bringing in advanced management models. Spare no effort to get involved in steel, mining, forestry and other fields. Private trading companies and trade groups of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They have poured into the Russian market. Sino-Russian joint enterprises for winemaking, oil extraction, grain processing, etc. Mushrooms have sprung up one after another.
And at the same time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government also invested in it.
In order to be more conducive to mutual assistance between the two countries. Accelerate close economic cooperation between the two sides. End of 1860. It has been fully demonstrated and amicably negotiated. The government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom signed an agreement with the Russian government on the construction of the first phase of the "Eurasian Land Bridge".
The so-called "Eurasian land bridge". Refers to the expected start from Moscow. Passing through the territory of Russia in Ryazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, etc. Later, it was connected to Kurenboli in Irkutsk, which was in the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom. The end point is Temple Street. In this way, it is connected with the major railway lines in the north and northeast of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
This projected railway. When completed, it will be the longest railway transportation artery in the world.
As stipulated in the agreement. Whole: - The main railway lines will use a uniform standard gauge. China and Russia each undertake the task of laying tracks in their own territories. The project commences actual exploration from the date of signing the agreement. No later than the beginning of 1862. Construction must begin. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government also decided at the same time. An interest-free loan of 400 days was given to Russia. In order to alleviate the huge funds and forces brought by the Russian side because of this railway trunk line project.
To be said. The birth of this "sub-land bridge" proposal. Whether it's in Russia. Or on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In fact, the controversy caused by it has been quite large.
