"One thousand two hundred taels of silver, what a lot of money!"

Outside the city of Guangzhou.

Zhu Daohua sat in the military tent, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Kneeling on the ground in front of him was a middle-aged man who had cut off his braids and changed into Han clothes.

If the governor of Guangdong, Guo Shixun, is here.

He could see it right away.

This person kneeling in front of Zhu Daohua is not Wu Dunyuan, the chief merchant of the Thirteen Lines, who else can it be?

"King, in addition to the treasury silver of the thirteen banks and the tax silver of the Guangdong Customs, as well as the silver of the merchants in Guangzhou and the surrounding landlords and wealthy households have also been basically deposited in HSBC, you are really taking Guangdong now."

Wu Dunyuan knelt and said.

It is indeed all taken from Guangdong.

It's not just turf.

And the silver of Guangdong!

The products exported by China in this era, such as porcelain, tea, and silk, are very capable of beating, and they are basically in a monopoly position, and the technical threshold is very high.

With these fist products.

Sixty or seventy percent of the silver dug up by Europeans in South America flowed into China through maritime trade.

Under a one-bite trade policy.

This silver flowed in from the port of Guangzhou.

Therefore, the amount of silver in Guangzhou is the largest in the country.

The territory was occupied, and the silver of the local magnates in Guangdong also flowed into the bank of the Ming king.

Of course, Wu Dunyuan knows who he needs to listen to in Guangdong now.

A trader like Wu Dunyuan knows his lifeblood very well.

There is no trade in Guangzhou.

These local snake merchants were of no value to the Manchus.

If you leave Guangdong with Guo Shixun and others.

They are the big guys who have lost their territory and are very rich.

It can only become a roast suckling pig that is eyed by others, and it may be eaten and wiped clean at any time.

Rather than so.

It's better to stay in Guangzhou and go directly to King Ming.

Although it is said that part of the treasury silver of the thirteen banks is also the capital of the merchants.

But Wu Dunyuan also thought it through.

It was nothing if the treasury was lost—for most of it was the shares of the Eight Banners of the Princes of the City of Beijing.

It is only in the name of the Thirteen Lines.

This one is a place of trade.

On the surface, it looks like the thirteen rows are full of food.

But eat the big one.

Or a nobleman of the Qing court.

The merchants of the Thirteen Lines only drank a mouthful of soup - although this soup was also very fat.

In order to eat this bite of meat, Zhu Daohua also waited outside Guangzhou for two days.

In these two days, the main work of the Ming army was to capture prisoners.

The fleeing Green Battalion is to be gathered.

All the military attaches of the Green Battalion must be "persuaded to surrender".

With Yang Liufang's exemplary role.

Most of the military attachés of the Green Battalion surrender without any psychological obstacles - even the Eight Banners of the Han Army can surrender, so why can't you be a fourth-class person who is not even a servant of the emperor?

Therefore, except for a few diehards, most of the military attaches of the Green Battalion are still those who know the times.

And so it goes.

Lord Yang's choir has expanded again.

And Zhu Daohua also asked them to write letters to old relatives and friends in other provinces, most of whom were also officials in the Green Camp.

As you can imagine.

What kind of shock will be caused by the sending of these letters: the vast majority of the military attaches of the Liangguang Green Battalion, as well as the military attaches of the Green Battalion transferred from Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces, surrendered seventy or eighty percent, and the rest are not really loyal to the Qing Dynasty - they were either killed, missing, or slipped away from the battlefield.

In a word.

So.

Can the Qing court still use the Green Battalion with confidence?

Anyway, when Zhu Daohua thought about it, he felt that Qianlong would definitely have a headache.

At least in a short period of time, Qianlong was afraid that he would not dare to send green battalion soldiers from various provinces to "deliver vegetables".

If all the military attachés of the Green Battalion surrendered.

The shop in the Qing Dynasty can't be opened.

Go back to your hometown in the Northeast as soon as possible.

In this way, Guangdong will have at least a year or two to consolidate.

Boss Zhu felt that he couldn't go to Hong Xiuquan and Li Zicheng to fight the world.

Rather, it is to establish a consolidated base area, occupy a place, consolidate a place, mobilize the resources of a place, and continue to grow and develop.

This is the tradition of the old Zhu family.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

"This Guangdong has been taken down, but how to govern it is still a myriad of things."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

"Loyalty, get up, this king is not happy to bow down here."

Well, this Wu Dunyuan is the first Qing official to surrender voluntarily - he has the title of Taoist here in Guangdong, so his table is also very representative.

Wu Dunyuan, the word loyalty.

Wu Zhongzhong hurriedly got up from the ground.

"You may be seated."

Zhu Daohua was very polite.

After all, he was the first to take the initiative to surrender to the city.

Although Boss Zhu knew very well what this big merchant of the Thirteen Lines had surrendered because of it - it was impossible to be clear because of his heart anyway.

It is impossible for Boss Zhu to ask everyone to be selfless.

The people he wants to use are basically selfish.

Selfishness is not a heinous sinner.

Moreover, merchants like the Thirteen Lines are actually a group of people who know a little about the outside world in this Qing Dynasty.

"The king, the treasury silver of the thirteen lines is nominally the major merchants of our thirteen lines, but in fact, most of them are the share capital of the eight banners of the Qing court..."

Wu Dunyuan cautiously looked up at Zhu Daohua and continued: "The king can take it all...."

Zhu Daohua couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this, and said: "What does this king want this money for, this silver is hidden in the treasury, it is worthless, and.... You deposited your money into HSBC through reasonable and legal procedures, so the money is yours! ”

"The most important thing in a bank is its reputation!"

Wu Dunyuan was shocked.

He looked up at Zhu Daohua in surprise.

That's eight million taels of silver.

Say no, don't really want it?

What a grandiose spirit!

That's the grandeur!!

"Don't say it's you, even if it's the Guangdong Customs Treasury silver deposited by the Guangdong Governor Yamen of the Qing Court, if they dare to come and take it, it's still theirs! The deposit certificate is always valid! ”

"Of course, the only thing that can be taken out is Ming Yuan!"

Zhu Daohua really thinks so.

HSBC was originally a tool to trick the local bigwigs in Guangdong.

But now it has made a name for itself in Guangdong.

What is the most important thing about a bank?

It's credibility!

Now many of the local tyrants in Guangdong have deposited their money in HSBC.

HSBC has become the most well-known deposit-absorbing institution in Guangdong.

This value.

It's a lot bigger than a few million taels of silver.

Waiting for the thirteen banks to do the treasury of the silver king did not take a penny, the news that the deposit certificate is valid forever came out.

The credibility of HSBC and even the Ming Palace.

You're going to get an unprecedented boost!!

The value is immeasurable.

Wu Dunyuan now really wants to throw himself into the ground.

The courage of this person is so great that he is worthy of being a figure who wants to compete for the world.

"Loyalty, I wonder if your thirteen lines have the intention of going to sea to trade?"

Wu Dunyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King, before this, the Qing court implemented a one-port trade policy, the mainland was not allowed to enter the sea, and it was forbidden for the people to build large ships with more than two masts. ”

"That is to say, if there is no ban on the sea, the shipbuilding industry and the maritime shipping industry will develop in a blowout in the future."

Zhu Daohua touched his chin and said.

Wu Dunyuan always felt that His Majesty King Ming was a little strange to speak.

But fortunately, he also understood.

So he said: "If we are allowed to go to sea, shipbuilding and shipping will definitely make money in the years to come." ”

"Do you want to invest in this industry?" Zhu Daohua asked.

It is necessary to develop industry.

Boss Zhu's investment alone is a bit too thin.

The best thing is to dig up all the silver buried under the land by the people and circulate it in the market to activate the market.

"Investing... Shipbuilding? ”

Wu Dunyuan was a little restless, and he couldn't figure out Zhu Daohua's pulse.

"That's right, shipbuilding, and shipping!"

Zhu Daohua said.

"Recently, huge coal reserves have been discovered in Quang Ninh in Annam, and iron-rich ore has been discovered in Ha Tinh that is very easy to mine, and the reserves are also very huge."

Zhu Daohua stood up, spread out a map, and pointed out the specific locations of coal mines and iron mines to Wu Dunyuan.

Quang Ninh's coal mines are nothing, although the reserves are huge, but there are also large and small coal resources in Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan that can be mined.

The key is the iron ore of Ha Tinh.

This is a very rare iron-rich ore with very little sulfur content in China.

Eliminating the process of desulfurization, the smelting process of Hejing iron ore does not need to be too complicated, which is convenient for large-scale smelting.

"The idea of this king is to rely on the Red River river transportation and sea transportation to concentrate the coal and iron resources of the two places on Lantau Island, and establish a large-scale iron-smelting plant on Lantau Island."

According to Zhu Daohua's idea, Lantau Island and later Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places will form a huge industrial area, with natural deep-water ports, cheap raw materials imported from Annam and Borneo by sea, and the abundant human resources in Guangdong.

Coupled with the guidance of the Ming Palace, as well as the market advantages brought by the Nanyang, Japan, Korea, and the monopoly of the trade between the East and the West.

It is likely to be the birthplace of modern industry.

Lantau Island will be a key base for heavy industry.

Iron smelting, steelmaking, machinery manufacturing, and even the production of muskets and artillery will be concentrated on this offshore island, forming an industrial cluster centered on Shenzhen in the future.

"Loyalty, this shipping industry, can there be any profits?"

Zhu Daohua painted a very tempting prospect for Wu Dunyuan.

Wu Dunyuan estimated in his heart.

The distance from the mouth of the Red River to Lantau Island is not long, and it is basically close to the coastline, so there is no threat from pirates.

The cost won't be too high.

If the volume of shipping is large.

Of course, there is a profit.

"King, if it is all by ship, the cost is not high, and it is still a bit troublesome."

Zhu Daohua nodded.

"Loyalty, you go to contact the merchants of the Thirteen Lines, and this king can invest in a Nanyang Shipping Corporation with you, and specialize in the transportation of Annan media and iron in the early stage."

Zhu Daohua then showed Wu Dunyuan a ship type.

"This is a three-masted carrier developed by the Batam Shipyard based on the Canton ship type, which requires further reduced sailor manpower and a much larger carrying capacity, and can be used as a mainstream transport ship for shipping companies in the future."

"By the way, the Batam shipyard will also be relocated to Lantau Island or Kowloon, Tan An and other places in the future."

Batam Island is located in the Strait of Malacca, and when Guangdong is built, the center of the Ming Palace's Mansion will definitely be transferred to Guangzhou.

At that time, it is not suitable to have too many factories on Batam.

And it only needs to be a free market for trade entrepots.

.........

Just when Zhu Daohua and the representatives of Guangdong's big businessmen imagined the bright prospects of Guangdong's business circle.

A piece of news spread in the city of Guangzhou.

And quickly made the rich people in the entire city of Guangzhou collectively restless.

"Hey, did you hear that? Then HSBC is not a big bank in England at all, it is a bank against the light..."

"Bah, what is the reverse of Ming, it's called Da Ming!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Da Ming! Daming's bank. ”

"Look, this is the means, I think this Qing Tartar should also die."

"Hu has no hundred years of luck, this tartar has been around for more than a hundred years, and it is enough."

"Why don't you explain why Wang Dajun hasn't entered the city yet? In case Qiu Ba in the city is in a hurry to attack the bank treasury of HSBC..."

"Start? What's next? My second uncle's nephew's cousin was on an errand guard in Guangzhou City, and the money of those Qiu Batou was also deposited in HSBC! ”

"Oh oh oh, then rest assured, then rest assured."

With the evacuation of Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, and the elderly, weak, women and children in the city of Guangzhou, the people in Guangzhou knew about it.

It was only a matter of time before the head of this city was replaced with the sun and moon flag.

Public opinion in the city did not affect Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou.

Zhao Wen's mansion at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain.

The master from Suzhou was invited to build it.

Pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.

At this time, Lao Zhao was quite entangled.

It's not that it's about money - the prefect of Guangzhou is certainly very rich.

Guangzhou, which is a commercial city, is a prefect here, although there are governors of Guangdong, governors of Guangzhou, and a general of Guangzhou who cannot afford to offend.

It can be said that compared to the prefects in other places, they are much more aggrieved.

But it's worth it.

Don't say anything else.

Lao Zhao has been the prefect of Guangzhou for two years.

The money he earned was several times more than that of his other officials combined.

The HSBC deposit certificate in his arms was enough to contain more than 60,000 taels of silver.

Originally, the plan was that when the prefect of Guangzhou stepped down, he could return to his hometown in Jiangxi and buy a few hundred acres of land.

Ploughing and reading heirlooms.

This is the wealth of one or two hundred years.

The old Zhao family went from a small landlord with only a few dozen acres of land to a large landlord with hundreds or thousands of acres of land.

Just now ....

In a good peaceful and prosperous era, this anti-Ming Dynasty actually came to Fan Hai, and it looked like it was about to occupy Guangdong.

This peaceful and prosperous era will evolve into the turmoil and strife of the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Jiangxi's hometown is still not the territory of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

As a parent officer.

When the city is broken, it is inevitable to hang on the beam, to live and die with the city, and to repay the country's kindness with death.

It's just that the more than 60,000 taels of silver are reluctant no matter what.

And hanging...

It hurts just to think about it.

Just when Lao Zhao was struggling.

The butler of the Zhao Mansion stumbled in. 、

"Master, it's not good!"

"HSBC is an industry that goes against the light!"

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
