The person Ouyang Hao brought back, obviously this one was not willing, because when he brought it into the official residence, he still had a rag in his mouth, and his hands and feet were also firmly tied.

"This kid is a small assistant who receives goods in Zhoujiadu Wharf, I saw him in and out of Wang's North Cargo Store a few times, I felt that there was something wrong with this guy, followed this guy into Zhoujiadu Wharf, and found that he was in and out of the C warehouse, quite busy, and took people to take a lot of boxes from there to a house on the west side of the wharf!" Ouyang Hao spoke proudly under the strange eyes of Lu Hong and several squad leaders.

"You just rushed in and arrested him?" Du Wenlan finally couldn't help but ask.

"Lao Du, do you think I'm such a reckless person!" Ouyang Hao's eyes widened, and he asked with some dissatisfaction, and then pointed to this guy, "I took a few brothers to squat at the door of the house until it was dark, only to see this guy come out of it full of wine and food, called a carriage to go out, and found the batch of goods without any effort when I went into the house, and when I opened the box and checked, it was all foreign medicines without customs stamps!" ”

Lu Hong'an nodded, Ouyang Hao's guy is really very reliable, this person really caught the right person, and immediately ordered, a group of big soldiers in the brave battalion put the brand-new fast rifle on the bayonet, and stood on both sides, waiting for the little helper to come in, but before Lu Hong had time to threaten the three-plate axe, the little helper called Tian Shengchang had already peed his pants and recruited immediately.

And the news brought out by this guy is definitely shocking, the opium of Zhoujiadu's C-shaped warehouse is obviously not his, the goods are all transported by the supply ship of the sailor, and even the warship is transported from the Huangpu River, and the warehouse of Zhoujiadu has been rented for a long time, and the shipment is the Wang's North Cargo Company, mainly through the Yangtze River all the way to the west, sold to inland Huguang, Anhui, Sichuan and other places, there are also big sellers.

And the reason why he transported the goods in the C warehouse back to his house is said to be that the Wang family got the news, and the court was willing to investigate strictly, so he first hid the goods, but he didn't expect to be targeted by Ouyang Hao, and he brought another news, the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 18th, the sailor's ship will be docked, and there will be a batch of goods at that time!

These news were shocking enough, but obviously did not satisfy Lu Hong's interest, he waved his hand to let this guy go down and wash it first, otherwise there would be a strange smell in this guest hall, and then immediately drafted a telegram and sent it to Wang Renkan who was in Jiangning Mansion overnight, this kind of thing is not something he can meddle in, and at the same time appointed Ouyang Hao with three squads to take turns to monitor the Wang family's North Goods Store.

And he continued to interrogate Tian Shengchang overnight, he also cared about another thing, and the energy of this guy at Zhoujiadu Wharf was really a little beyond his expectations, and the things he wanted to ask were all said to be seventy-seven-eighty-eight, early the next morning, Wang Renkan had already sent a telegram from Jiangning Mansion, asking him to hold the telegram and immediately discuss with Huang Zuluo of Shanghai Daotai, and he would return immediately, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, had a very clear attitude and would not tolerate it!

When he brought Tian Shengchang's confession and Wang Renkan's telegram to visit Huang Zuluo of Shanghai Daotai, when he mentioned the No. C warehouse of Zhoujiadu Wharf, this person immediately looked a little ugly, and it was naturally impossible for him not to know about Yuan Jiugao's lease of his own wharf warehouse, but he didn't expect the matter to be so big, and the case was supervised by the minister.

"Huangdaotai, what's wrong with Jiadu Wharf this week?" Lu Hong already knew that it was boring at this moment, but he deliberately asked.

When Huang Zuluo heard this, he immediately said: "Lu Yunju, there are indeed some problems in this matter, the operation of Zhoujiadu Wharf is actually logically correct, if it is a case of inflection, I am afraid that this case will have to be studied deeply, then it will be a little troublesome, why don't you mention these small details in the excerpt!" ”

Lu Hong glanced at him, and only after a while did he agree unhurriedly, such a faction is naturally to ask this zodiac to lead his own love, sure enough, the Shanghai soldiers will be prepared to send people later, this promised quickly, the matter is negotiated, Lu Hong naturally does not need to continue to gossip, however, he is looking for Huang Zuluo, in addition to the errand of supervision, there is also something else!

"Lord Huang, I still have a good thing at hand and I'm thinking about talking to you," Lu Hong changed the topic, but his eyes were staring at the fat old man, and when he saw this guy showing curiosity, he continued: "I have an industry in hand, and I am going to buy it in Shanghai, although it is not a big deal, but if it is done, it will indeed be profitable!" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Hong took out a manuscript and handed it to Huang Zuluo, the fat old man immediately took it very curiously and looked at it very carefully, in his opinion, this Lu Yunju is a shrewd person, since he so solemnly proposed this industry, it must not be a small business, and at a glance, it really feels promising.

Shanghai has always been the concentration of agricultural products in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places, and the scale of shipping trade is very large, and the products of overseas and even northern Fengtian and southern Asian countries have also been imported in large quantities.

Now the domestic textile industry is also thriving, Shanghai Tang can have the Huai Department Sheng Xuanhuai set up the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and last year because of the fire, almost all were burned down, at the beginning of the year to rebuild, Lu Hong did not intend to take the initiative to provoke any competition, so in the choice, very tacit understanding into the silk reeling industry, now China, has been in the silk industry behind the late start of the many Ben, every year, the Ben relies on a large number of raw silk exports to earn a large amount of foreign exchange, and then to the British and other powers to purchase arms.

On the other hand, China under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, simply ignoring such a trade situation, has no support for the domestic silk industry, not to mention the large-scale investment of machine silk reeling, the domestic silk reeling industry so far, is still the prevalent "hand silk" under the small peasant economy, although Chinese hand silk is very famous in Europe, but in the machine silk reeling is also said to be developed now, has gradually been unable to fight against the machine silk industry.

In fact, the machinery and equipment of the single-axis silk reeling industry are cheap to invest in, and there is no processing pressure in Shanghai, where there are a large number of machine tools and equipment...... Of course, he didn't expect Huang Zuluo to understand!

After Huang Zuluo saw the unfathomable drawing, he immediately asked with interest, "Lu Yunjuan, does this industry have to invest a lot of money?" Or is there something else that is difficult to do? ”

Seeing that this guy was interested, Lu Hong continued to explain unhurriedly, "Lord Huang, the amount of capital invested in this industry mainly lies in the production of machines, as for the cost of cocoons and the like, it only depends on the production capacity, and the spread from cocoons to raw silk, I have also asked the comprador, and it seems to be quite profitable...... If you are interested, I am offering shares, you may wish to book it first, and then pay the shares after the industry is set up! ”
