The second more

Qingyu smiled and appeased these people, she couldn't do it, a few months have passed, counting the days, Jiangnan's dishes are going to be collected, and Li Hongzhang doesn't want anyone to say this time, just call someone to help those widows and widows who are lonely to collect vegetables, Jiangnan's form is also quickly reported to Beijing, and the time must be accurate.

As soon as the Americans' ship arrived, it was the soldiers who helped them unload the goods this time, and they didn't care about this bit of grain, but wanted to load the vegetables from the Jiangnan harvest as soon as possible and transport them out. There was a bumper harvest of vegetables in the south of the Yangtze River, because all of them were rushed, so all kinds of vegetables were piled up at once.

Qingyu had already told Zeng Guofan before that they would take as much as they wanted, and according to their average price in previous years, as soon as the Americans unloaded the grain, they would immediately load the vegetables and transport them back to the capital.

This is also for Jiangnan officialdom, and the court is also solving their urgent needs, the vegetables are planted by you, and now that there is a bumper harvest, you don't harvest it, it's not for us to die. Therefore, this time, under Zeng Guofan's strict orders, all parts of the country must be collected quickly, sent to the dock quickly, and do not stay for a moment. Those who buy vegetables are all treasury silver from all over the country, of course, dare to detain the people, and wait for the house to be raided.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan's name of 'Zeng Shaved Head' was still passed out, he knew very well that if he didn't investigate for a while, it would lead to a civil uprising, and his own nine clans would not be able to keep it, plus the Jiangnan camp behind him, no matter how the Jiangnan officialdom was, he would not dare to make another time.

The action of this recycling process is very precise, and there is really no delay for a moment. The Americans were impressed by the Chinese this time, and they did not expect that a sleepy ancient country would have such a strong executive ability.

Of course, Qingyu's idea of buying grain for vegetables was opposed by almost everyone in the court. Those officials and gentlemen actually didn't believe that foreigners would be so obedient to help them transport grain and vegetables. I think it's incredible. There is also the use of treasury money to buy vegetables, which violates the 'ancestral family law'. But with the strong support of Xianfeng, it was realized.

As a result, they were taken aback, they did not expect the foreigner to agree, and left very happily. And foreigners from other countries are still very envious, what does this mean? I also sent someone to inquire why Americans are so happy.

When I came back, I learned that the Americans were able to sell grain to China, and of course I was very happy. And why wouldn't you be happy to transport the food back? Anyway, when the empty ship came back, they also wasted it, because the port they were shipping to was not an open dock, and they did not have the right to get off the ship and buy goods. If they can return with a full boat and have rent to collect, why don't they agree? Not happy?

The biggest confusion was explained, and these officials and gentlemen also understood that it turned out to be profitable. There is no need to think about the rest, as long as the foreigners are willing, it is actually beneficial to Jiangnan, to the imperial court, and to Jiangnan officialdom.

Needless to say, the people of Jiangnan must be satisfied, their food has been exchanged for food and money, and their winter can go on. In fact, the people of the capital are also quite happy.

Now it's winter in the capital, and it's almost the New Year, who doesn't want to order green dishes to look better. In previous years, there were not no green vegetables, but only the rich and nobles could afford to eat them. But this time, so many ships were shipped, and the price was more acceptable. Even ordinary people can buy a small handful and go home to taste the freshness for the elderly and children, of course, thanks to the virtue and politics of the imperial court.

Because it was transported by steamer, much faster than their wooden boats, the dishes were well preserved. Even if the price is increased by five times, as soon as it arrives at the dock, it will be snapped up by various vegetable markets.

In addition to the loss, there is also the American's food money and freight, and the imperial court still has a profit. Of course, making a head is a small thing. You must know that the money used to buy vegetables in Jiangnan is the treasury silver, and every year, at the end of the year, the treasury silver in various places must be delivered to the imperial court in addition to the silver taels required for operation in the coming year.

This time, they handed over the food as treasury silver, and saved freight! Didn't the imperial court send grain to Jiangnan for the extra part? The money they sell is enough for what they lack. Of course, there is more, let them record this money in the account and pay the Jiangnan battalion. This back and forth is equivalent to the Americans helping them transport official silver. Even the risks on the road and the natural cost of escort are saved.

This made Xianfeng and those ministers figure out something at once. This time, the people of Jiangnan used the money from selling vegetables to buy the cheap grain given by the imperial court. With the help of the imperial court, they not only had food for the New Year, but also had a little living money in their hands. They must have been too lazy to revolt.

As for the imperial court, originally, they wanted to transfer food everywhere to appease the victims, but this time, they didn't even need it. It was only with the army that they helped the victims to resume production, and after a month of support, they immediately stood up. Most importantly, it did not provoke popular revolt.

And all the families in the north suddenly had green dinner tables, and it didn't cost much more. Everyone was quite happy.

Really all parties are satisfied, including Jiangnan officialdom. Who wants to be blocked by ordinary people every day? And this time, according to the unified arrangement of the imperial court, one south and one north, they not only did not spend money, but also made money. Although the officialdom in Jiangnan has been exempted from taxes, everyone's life is not sad.

And the imperial court counted the accounts, originally thought that it was for disaster relief, but the money was returned in a few days, in addition to those costs, and the treasury silver that Jiangnan should pay, there was still left. It's like Jiangnan has never had a change, and there has been a bumper harvest year.

As soon as the accounts are calculated, everyone is messy, and they have been there for a long time, and they are all things on the bright side, but why is the problem solved like this, and everyone is satisfied? Do they think it's a joke that they were so skilled in government affairs in those years?

Thinking about what can happen this time, the most important thing is the tools. Steamers for the Americans! The turbine realizes a rapid connection between the north and the south. Make the impossible possible all at once. Everyone was also excited, not mentioning the question of what ancestral family law they had to say before, they were really skilled in government affairs and knew the specialties of various places, but the problem was that everyone couldn't transport it. As long as it can be connected, then the prospects are very impressive.

Now it is these people who are forcing Xianfeng to talk to foreigners about business, and they want to do business with foreigners.

The Americans also thought it was good business, and they also took the initiative to talk to Qingyu. And the arrogant British, who were originally envious, jealous and hateful when they saw the Americans sending big ships and big ships of grain to Jiangnan, calculated carefully, the Americans have made a lot of money over the years, and the seals are about to be killed and extinct by them. So these foreign civil officials hurriedly telegraphed back one by one, thinking that they would not be able to sleep if they did not take advantage of this kind of advantage.

Why did they exchange opium for Chinese porcelain and tea? To put it bluntly, I want to ask you what you need at the beginning? As a result, the previous generations said, 'We are the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and we don't need anything.' 'A huge amount of silver flowed into China, creating a huge trade deficit. So, of course, the British did not do it and began to smuggle opium.

But after all, the opium business is simple, and it cannot dump all kinds of domestic products into China. But now that China is starting to import grain, will it import other things, such as the clothes that they are very comfortable with? They were all excited and actively befriended Qingyu.

Qingyu originally wanted to cooperate with them to set up a shipyard, but now they are rushing to ask for it, France is not very good, this time it is not mixed, Qingyu is still talking to Xianfeng, see what form of cooperation is good.
