"That's what the girl said." Sun Tianqi took a step forward and said: "When I thought about the design of the tomb palace, I had already considered that someone would enter, so this port is here, but we have to see where the mechanism here is." ”

After Sun Tianqi finished speaking, Yue Guanchao already understood what he meant, and asked tentatively: "Daochang Sun, you are not surprised that you are walking in front this way.

Could it be that you have already been to this place in advance? I see that the Taoist chief is unmoved by the money, but only urges us to go to the tomb palace, saying that it is to bury the concubine, it is really a little reluctant, you, there should be something else to find! ”

When Yue Guanchao saw the present, he was basically sure that Sun Tianqi did not enter the tomb for treasure, otherwise, he could have found a place to put the ashes jar in casually.

In this way, he can save effort and ingestion danger, knowing that the tomb palace has not been opened, but also insist on sending the urn into the tomb palace, which shows that what he is looking for is in the tomb palace, and it has nothing to do with the funeral jewelry.

As soon as these words came out, Sun Tianqi raised his head and swept off his clothes with floating dust: "It's okay, at this point, I don't have to pretend anymore, let's open the skylight and say something, you don't have to pretend to be a slave of Jiayong anymore." ”

Sure enough, Sun Tianqi didn't believe that they were real slaves at the beginning, although Yue Guanchao felt surprised, but it was also reasonable, if Sun Tianqi couldn't even see through this, then it would be considered to be in vain for so many years.

Yue Guanchao simply didn't pretend: "Since, Daochang Sun has already seen that we are pretending, why didn't you say it until now." ”

Sun Tianqi said with a smile: "If I don't do this, I won't be able to get here, I see that you are not interested in treasures along the way, probably, you are also looking for things in the tomb, since our purpose is the same, then what is there to debunk, it is better to go together." ”

"Then according to the Taoist chief's meaning, now open the skylight with us and say something bright, because you don't need to hide it from us anymore, then, can you tell me what you are looking for?"

Yue Guanchao asked, he always felt that they were looking for the same thing.

"This matter has to start with my identity......" Sun Tianqi coughed a few times and asked slowly, "Do you know about the Taiping Society?" ”

When Song Siyuan saw Sun Tianqi mention the Taiping Society, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked rhetorically: "What the Taoist chief said, but it is the Taiping Chamber of Commerce of the Magnesium Profit Country. ”

"Exactly."

Song Siyuan obviously didn't expect that they were actually related to the Taiping Chamber of Commerce, and continued to explain: "The Taiping Chamber of Commerce is a Chinese Chamber of Commerce in England and Magnesium Liberia, born in the mid-nineteenth century, and is a Chinese group that appeared in the West after 1860. ”

The emergence of this Taiping Chamber of Commerce is still related to the defeat of the former government against the West.

After 1860, the government of the former dynasty was defeated, and in addition to paying indemnities for land cession, it also had to open trade to cater to Western trade with China.

Although the defeat was extremely humiliating for the government of the previous dynasty, the defeat of the war also stung some people of insight at that time, so that they no longer indulged in books and theories, fame and Confucianism, and began to open their eyes to the world.

On this basis, the Chinese saw the technology and civilization of the Westerners, and also had the desire to go to the West.

Leaving aside the United Kingdom for the time being, let's talk about magnesium countries.

After the abolitionist war, major cities ushered in the era of great development, and the emergence of gold mines in the west allowed a large number of coastal Chinese to enter the west by steamship and start their gold rush dreams.

At the same time, the construction of the Pacific Railway project has made the demand for labor in the magnesium country increasingly high, but the domestic workers are lazy and disobedient, and the Irish they hire cannot endure hardship, and they like to demand a wage increase, and even deliberately drink and fight, delaying the progress of the project.

After thinking about it, they turned their attention to the Chinese who came to work in magnesium at that time, and saw that they were particularly able to endure hardships during the gold rush, and decided to hire Chinese to build the Pacific Railroad.

At that time, the government of the former dynasty had just liberalized foreign laborers, allowing foreign labor service companies to recruit laborers from Guangdong, Fujian and other places to bring them into the magnesium country to contribute to their urban construction.

After all, these Chinese are black and thin, and they look sick and sick, as if they have no strength, and they originally wanted to give up the Chinese workers, but later they were willing to try them out when they saw that the Chinese workers would rather lower their wages and find a job to do.

Unexpectedly, the ability of the Chinese workers was indeed beyond their expectations, don't look at these Chinese workers are short and thin, but their strength is not weak, they are very able to bear hardships and stand hard work, coupled with the tame silence and less wages, they also saw the value of Chinese workers, and began to hire a large number of Chinese workers in Guangdong and Fujian through labor service companies, and sent them to China to participate in construction.

Of the 14,000 laborers employed by the Pacific Company, the proportion of Chinese laborers accounted for about 95 percent, and it can almost be said that nine out of every ten railroad laborers were coastal Chinese at that time.

These people first contributed to the gold rush in the west, and then participated in the construction of the Pacific Railroad, and they worked so diligently, not in exchange for the respect of these Westerners, but in exchange for profound discrimination.

At that time, many Chinese were welcomed by employers because of their low wages, so that those white people who asked for high prices and could not endure hardships could either reduce their wages or have no work to do.

In the end, the country even promulgated the "Chinese Exclusion Act" to discriminate against Chinese workers at the legal level.

The Taiping Chamber of Commerce was the largest guild established by the Pacific Chinese workers at that time, and once it was established, there were many Chinese who had been discriminated against and bullied to participate.

As long as they are Chinese workers from the Taiping Chamber of Commerce, they will not only provide interpreters and simple housing for the newcomers, but also find fairer employers for them to work and make ends meet.

In the end, the Chamber of Commerce gathered more and more Chinese workers, these people have three hundred and sixty nine and so on, with the help of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, they can provide more and more help to Chinese workers, if it involves weddings, funerals and real estate, you can go to consult, so as not to be deceived because of the law.

It can be said that the Taiping Chamber of Commerce is a guild known to Western Chinese, and for overseas Chinese workers, this is tantamount to having a lantern of their hometown in a foreign country.

Song Siyuan introduced this, Sun Tianqi's eyes were a little surprised, probably, surprised that she actually knew the story of the West, nodded approvingly: "Yes, I am from the Taiping Chamber of Commerce, this guild is a mutual aid guild established by the Taiping Army after they arrived in the West." ”

In the same era in 1860, when the Western gold rush was in full swing, the Taiping Movement in southern China also ushered in the fire of oil.

Although the power group of King Hong repeatedly emphasized that it was for the well-being of the people, after King Hong Tianwang set the capital of Tianjing, the magnates were inevitably fascinated by the fans of the Six Dynasties in Jinling, and became increasingly corrupt and degenerate, and began to occupy the mountains and seek power.

It was also because of the rapid corruption of the elite group that eventually caused the Tianjing Incident, which made the Taiping State miss the great opportunity of the Northern Expedition.

Prior to this, although the Taiping Kingdom was corrupt, there were still discerning people who could see their problems and still wanted to improve, but when most of the elite groups were blind, no matter how many discerning people were, they could not change the situation.

At that time, because the Taiping Kingdom had mastered the treaty port of Jinling, the foreigners actively sent envoys to establish good relations with the Taiping Kingdom in order to seek commercial prosperity.

These people are the first people to establish the Taiping Chamber of Commerce in the magnesium country.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of the Taiping Kingdom, they can be regarded as fighting for a new world for Chinese workers in the West, and their broad horizons have also made these people realize that even if the Taiping Kingdom has a loud slogan, its own class limitations will eventually lead to failure.

In order to protect themselves, they have used the Taiping Chamber of Commerce to start planning a layout, so as to cope with the ensuing crisis, many members of the Taiping Chamber of Commerce have invested in the shipbuilding industry, the field industry, the service industry, the food industry, and the catering industry in their personal names, and at the same time, they are also looking for backers in the magnesium country and the United Kingdom.

After these were done, Tianjing was indeed captured, and they had now taken a foreigner's cruise ship to the West to start their new life in a foreign land.

Sun Tianqi and these Taoists used to be all lamp shadows, and they came to the West on a cruise ship with their acquaintances, settled there, and did not return to China from the West until more than ten years later.

Yue Guanchao listened to his experience, it can be said that it is not wonderful, in the Taiping Era, there are not many people with clear brains like him, even if it is King Hong, in the end, he also believed in his own set of Heavenly Father's upper body theory, missed the opportunity to escape in vain, and was poisoned in Jinling City.

He continued to ask: "Looking for the tomb of the concubine is the reason why you came back, but what you are looking for is not the treasure that the concubine has deposited, I am curious, what is it?" ”

"It's a female book!"

Sun Tianqi made no secret of what he wanted.

"What are you looking for to read the female book?"

Yue Guanchao could already guess that what Sun Tianqi was looking for was also a Xuanshu iron coupon, but he didn't know if these people were in the same group as the Huasheng Chamber of Commerce.

Sun Tianqi coughed a few times, and said slowly: "Sun Tianqi is just my pseudonym, back then, the Taiping army was overwhelming, and many of the green battalion soldiers of the previous dynasty could no longer survive, and they followed King Hong Tianwang to establish the Taiping Kingdom, and I later became a lamp shadow." ”

"My real name is Wanyan Chengqi, my ancestor is the Wanyan Eight Divisions of the Jin Kingdom, and after the establishment of the Eight Banners in the previous dynasty, he was also raised to the Eight Banners noble."

Some people died, but not completely......
