Chapter 742: Planting Roots

"The Three Kingdoms generals are brave, Changshan Zhao Zilong!" At the Ningbo wharf, a group of Nanyang merchants who came here to try their luck got off the ship, and the people of Yaxing led them into the city to talk about trade. But when he walked to the open space outside the city, he was attracted by the neatly arranged official and military drills, and even the matter of buying goods was temporarily put down.

Seeing that these hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly and sang military songs loudly, these merchants talked a lot, although they couldn't say what was good about such a capable army. But these people generally have an unclear, but powerful emotion in them, and they instinctively feel that these soldiers are different from those guards they have seen before. Others could not help but compare these soldiers with the Portuguese soldiers seen by Manraka, and the two units always gave people an inexplicable sense of similarity.

The local people of Ningbo have long been surprised by all this, from the beginning of the Western scene, to now it has been taken for granted. Now Ningbo people know that as long as there is such a group of people, there will be no more tragedy last time, and it is worth spending a little money for this.

When they entered the city, a beautiful and graceful woman took the merchants to the chamber of commerce. From a legal point of view, these Nanyang merchants were not allowed to trade in Ningbo. After getting through the joint, their purchases cannot be made directly with the merchant, but must go through the Chamber of Commerce. However, it is not a problem for everyone to meet and deal with each other, gossip, and have a reception banquet.

After looking at the procurement needs and figures of those foreign merchants, the woman surnamed Xue smiled, "These commodities, Yang Ji will prepare them for you within three days." A few distinguished guests can rest assured that in terms of price, Yang Ji will definitely be the fairest. However, I also have some goods that I would like to purchase, and whoever you can provide them, we will give you the best price, and we will also give you the greatest convenience in future trade. ”

Seeing the list she handed over, several gentlemen of the tooth shop showed embarrassed expressions on their faces, cannons, iron armor, and foreign ships. Every time Xue Niangzi sees a foreigner, she asks for these things, but these things are either not available to the people, or they can't be sold even if they are available. These Nanyang merchants are actually turtles, only the Francophile may have this, and now the imperial court is pursuing the policy of fighting the Francophile when they meet, and these things are not easy to buy.

After a merchant from Siamese looked at the catalogue, he clasped his hands together and smiled, and the interpreter said to Xue: "Mr. Sava said that the materials on this are really not easy to buy, but the iron armor may still have some way." As long as Madame Xue can admire her face and have dinner with Mr. Savoy, he will be willing to offer you a door......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he didn't want the tooth man to jump up and slap the interpreter in the face. "What kind of bastard thing, how dare you translate indiscriminately? It's your business if you don't want to live, but don't bother Lao Tzu! "Hurriedly compensated Mrs. Xue" This person's language is not proficient, it is not about the villain, it is really not about the villain. ”

"I know, it's none of your business. Someone, throw the interpreter out. Mrs. Xue was still smiling, making people feel like a spring breeze, but her face sank in an instant, but it seemed that a biting cold wind was blowing in the room.

Two tower-like men rushed to the left and right of the general like lightning, dragging the man out, and disappeared. Mrs. Xue regained her smile, "Although I am a woman, it does not mean that I can tolerate this kind of boring joke, business...... Go on. ”

Inadvertently, her slender and bright red nails swiped the Siamese merchant's manifest, and the man knew that the foreign merchant was going to lose a lot of money. Now who in Ningbo doesn't know that Widow Xue not only has the title of Mrs. Sanpin, but more importantly, there are people above her. Even a few big businessmen in Ningbo want to give her face, what is this Siamese merchant compared to her?

The imperial court abolished the brocade clothes last year, but after the Ningbo tribute competition, it was said that it was because the brocade clothes were abolished and the news was not good, which led to the rampant ravages of the Japanese and the imperial court, so the old system of brocade clothes was restored.

Ningbo Jinyiwei has recovered to more than 700 people, and the power of affairs has been greatly strengthened, and even the yamen of Ningbo Prefecture and County are greatly restricted by it. The yamen wants to listen to Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei wants to listen to Widow Xue, she only needs to go to Yang Qincha's bed and say a word, and the hundreds of Jinyiwei households in Ningbo have to go to farming.

In the former, there was a big foreign businessman who was quite interested in Mrs. Xue and wanted to have more contact with her, and then the wealthy businessman disappeared with people and boats. Dare to provoke this thorny rose, it is simply tired.

When he returned to his home after the meeting, Xue looked at the order in hand and was sure that Yang Ji would get a good profit this time, and a smile appeared on his face. A concubine of Ryan on the side leaned over and asked with a smile: "Sister is smiling so happily, is it making a lot of money for your Yang official?" ”

"Yes, he handed over the business to me to watch, why am I so careless? He is training the new army, and it is the time to use the money, and I can't hold him back. Even if I work hard, I have to earn more for him, and there is only so much I can do for him. Also, a few of you also give me a little spirit, as long as we do a good business, he will remember us, and you are not cheap. ”

Thinking of the absurdity of sleeping together a few times, Xue's face still couldn't help but be slightly hot, Xue Huishou, who has always been in front of people, is no different from a little woman who misses her husband. Looking out the window, he sighed softly, "He doesn't know when he will come to Ningbo again, and he must come to see when the new ship is launched." When the time comes, we can let him pamper him a few times, compared to this, the title of Mrs. Sanpin's Command, don't do it. I'd rather make a room for him, or at least always see him, so that he doesn't suffer from lovesickness. ”

"Sister, isn't he in Hangzhou? Look for him. ”

"Don't mess around, he's doing the right thing, how can he make trouble? Besides, his father-in-law is also in Hangzhou, let's go, there is no benefit. ”

In the city of Hangzhou, a big man named Ryanstein roared at Yu Dayou with a two-handed big sword, and the other party held a bright silver plate dragon stick and waited for him. The two collided together, the sword met the stick, and the ping pong sounded, and after a few rounds of fighting, Reinstein fell heavily to the ground, smashing up a cloud of smoke. But he stood up and still rushed forward with perseverance, and the onlookers next to him burst into laughter.

A little farther away, the young and strong children recruited from the fields, mines, and military guards stood in a neat queue, receiving officers with a calm and land accent, issuing orders, and practicing one by one. In the middle of the barracks, a stage has been erected in preparation for the evening performance.

Some of the victims' family members selected from Ningbo described the tragedy of Ningbo to the soldiers, and some elderly military leaders and veterans were propagating to the recruits, "Who gave everyone the money to eat and drink, and to support the whole family?" Hooray! What do we fight for? It's for long live. We eat Banzai's food, wear Banzai's clothes, and behave with conscience......"

At this time, people still can't understand the significance of this missionary setting, but under the premise that Yang Chengzu insists, no one will refuse. Little did they know that some of the seeds had already been successfully sown in the soil of the Forces nouvelles, taking root and growing strongly......
