Although the previous impression was not good, Peng Chun and Lang Tan finally entered the house relatively safely! Although they saw a few muskets on the side when they first entered, they were only there, which only showed that the owner of the house was a little fond of force, and did not pose any threat to them!

And when they entered the house, they finally saw Mo Jing!

They weren't disappointed!

There is no gentleness and elegance, no manners, some are just casual clothes and a temperament beyond their imagination, this kind of temperament makes Peng Chun and Lang Tan naturally put Mo Jing on the same line as them, and naturally reins in their temper, and at the same time, it also makes the two of them naturally start to consider whether to secretly give Yu Zhong a few pairs of embroidered shoes for women with small feet!

"Gege wants to do business with the Russians in Heilongjiang?"

After chatting, Peng Chun and the others knew the reason for Mo Jing's tantrum.

"Yes, it's a pity that if you don't understand the actual situation, you can only make a plan with a bamboo basket! ......" Mo Jing frowned slightly and sighed, "I didn't know that the imperial court had opened the four customs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and the annual income of the customs reached nearly 10 million taels. I think that as long as we open up trade routes with Russia and make Russia a transit point between us and the countries of Western Europe, we can make a lot of money...... But now it's not possible! After all, land transportation is not as slow as sea routes, but also has a small volume, and this method will not work! ……”

(The Qing Dynasty did not always ban the sea, and there were some back-and-forth during this period.) Before the 22nd year of Kangxi, the sea was banned, and after that, because the Qing government unified Taiwan, Kangxi said: "First because of the sea, the sea is not open." Today, the sea atmosphere is clear, what to do! The four ports of Guangzhou, Zhangzhou, Ningbo and Yuntaishan were designated for foreign trade.

After the ban was lifted, there were more than 1,000 shipbuilders who went to sea every year, and only five or six out of ten returned, and many people stayed in Nanyang. As a result, the Qing government was worried that "thousands of people would gather at sea and should not be taken precautions"; And believed that the countries of Nanyang have always been "the abyss of pirates", so in the 56th year of Kangxi, the Nanyang sea ban was reinstated, and trade with Nanyang was strictly prohibited. However, the ban on the sea has caused the coastal economy to become more and more depressed, causing serious consequences to the local residents, and the people who have no means of living have been forced to flee to the sea, or take risks, "or cause chaos". In the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), that is, ten years after the Nanyang sea ban, the Qing government reopened the Nanyang sea ban. Those who go abroad for trade are ordered to return to their home countries within three years, otherwise they are not allowed to return to their hometowns.

By the time of Qianlong, the Qing government had once again imposed strict restrictions on foreign trade. At that time, the British, in order to promote their textiles to the north and get close to the tea-producing silk region, tried to expand Haikou north of Guangzhou. The British correspondent Hong Renhui and the British armed merchant ships sailed to Dinghai and Ningbo in Zhejiang Province many times. The arrival of British armed merchant ships attracted the attention of the Qing court. In order to rectify the coastal defense of Zhejiang Province, in the 22nd year of Qianlong, the Qing court ordered: "In the future, (Yi ships) will only be allowed to dock in Guangzhou for trade, and they will not be allowed to go to Ningbo again. This was a major turning point in the Qing court's foreign trade policy, that is, the policy of closing the country against foreign capitalist forces and allowing only one trade in Guangzhou. From then on, it was not until 1840 that the coast of China was once again bombarded by the British invaders with artillery! ）

"Doesn't work? I don't think so! Seeing that Mo Jing was a little excited, Yu Zhong hurriedly comforted.

"How?"

"Even if we can't make Russia a transit point for trade with European countries, we can still trade with the Russians...... Although the volume of trade will be much less, it will not necessarily be unprofitable! ......," Yu Zhong analyzed.

"That's the way it is! …… But Russia is a poor country after all compared to other European countries, and we make money from them, if they can no longer change profits and have been in a super position, I am afraid that this kind of trade will not last long! …… Maybe, on the contrary, it will worsen the diplomatic relations between the two countries! Mo Jing shook his head and said.

"......" Yu Zhong was stunned for a while, Mo Jing thought more comprehensively and far-reaching, he was really a class leader, after all, Mo Jing's knowledge in this area was much stronger than him! There is a qualitative difference between selling watermelons and starting a company!

“…… Why should Gege bother about this? Unauthorized trade, that is to be questioned, besides, those old Maozi are all ghosts, so, if you can't open it, you can't open it, is there something we still lack in the Qing Dynasty? Lang Tan said insightfully.

"Hehe......" Mo Jing looked at Lang Tan and smiled, "Lang Dutong, do you really think so?" ”

"Of course! Is it ...... By the way, Gege hasn't entered the customs to see it, and I don't know much about the strength of my Qing Dynasty, and if I want to do business with those Yi people, it can be regarded as fate! …… But you don't know that since the current saint has succeeded to the throne, I have ...... Lang Tan puffed his chest and proudly recounted Kangxi's exploits.

"Lang Dutong, everyone knows this! ......" Peng Chun was more attentive than Lang Tan, and when he saw Lang Tan telling these things, Mo Jing frowned slightly, and immediately stopped this guy's performance, so angry that Lang Tan rolled his eyes for a while, he was about to say that his exploits were showing!

"Lang Dutong is not in favor of trading with Westerners, is he?" Peng Chun stopped Lang Tan's performance, and Mo Jing immediately raised a question.

"Yes, I have abundant products in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no shortage of everything, so why do I need trade?" Lang Tan admitted.

"Is there really nothing lacking in the Qing Dynasty? Lang Dutong, then I ask you, our army and the Russians fought two battles in Yaksa, and although both ended in victory, do you think that if the two armies were equal in number, our army would still be able to win so easily? ……”

"This should be ......" Under Mo Yan's bright eyes, the word "ran" burst out of Lang Tan's mouth for a while, and then returned to his stomach.

"The people who the Westerners rely on are just sharp firearms, but I also have a magic machine camp in the Qing Dynasty, and in comparison, it is not bad!" Peng Chun said.

“…… General Peng, let me ask you, who is more sophisticated and easier to use than the firearms of the Qing Dynasty and the Westerners? It is estimated that Peng Chun can't understand the word "advanced", so Yu Zhong has no choice but to talk about it

"Popular" a little.

"Hehe, Yu Dutong, you don't know this!" Lang Tan said with a smile, "My big clear firearms are no worse than those Yi people, on the contrary, they are even stronger!" ”

"Really? So how did I not know? As far as I know, it seems that the firearms of my Daqing Dynasty were made by learning from Westerners? Wasn't it made with the help of John Tang and Nan Huairen? Yu Zhong said curiously, he still remembered the two foreigners who helped Kangxi build cannons in "The Story of Deer and Ding".

"Yes, these two people have indeed helped the imperial court make good firearms, but I also have geniuses in the Qing Dynasty, and my ability to make firearms is even stronger than them!" Lang Tan ignored Peng Chun's warning look of "You kid, don't steal my limelight", and said to himself.

"Is there such a thing?" Mo Jing and Yu Zhong exclaimed at the same time! The two really didn't know that the Qing Dynasty had a famous firearm maker, both of them had read "Lu Ding Ji", knew that Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen had helped Kangxi build cannons, but they had never heard that there were Chinese who could make their own artillery! How could this not surprise and delight the two!

"Of course!" Seeing the surprised looks of Mo Jing and Yu Zhong, the two "two devils", Lang Tan's national self-confidence and self-esteem were greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help but become even more proud, "My Daqing not only has a single-shot musket, but also the Seven Star System, the Ten Eyes System, and the Five Thunder God Machine, and even more, he has also produced a twenty-eight bead fire system!" Hehe, I don't know if those Western Yi people have such firearms? ”

"I don't know if the Westerners have such firearms, but I know that each of these firearms can definitely be said to be the world's first-class firearms! As for the continuous fire system, it is definitely super first-class! Mo Jing's words were full of excitement, and his eyes were even more joyful when he looked at Yu Zhong...... Who doesn't want their country to have advanced weapons?

"World-class? That's nature! Kangxi twenty-five years, what is the ...... The messenger of the Buddha came to my Qing Dynasty to meet the Son of Heaven, and presented what is said to be their most advanced 'sausage shotgun', and as a result, when they left, the emperor gave them ten muskets of this kind that we made ourselves, and I still think it is funny when I think about it, hahaha......" Peng Chun laughed.

"Really? What is man-made? Simple...... It's just amazing! Although I don't know what the "pan intestine shotgun" is, but since it is the most advanced musket in Europe, the Qing government can study and quickly manufacture it, which shows that the Qing Dynasty's firearms manufacturing level at this time is at the world's first-class level, and then think of the "Opium War", the Qing Dynasty sailors' shells hit the British ship but did not explode, and were used as iron balls, the excitement of the two is completely understandable...... It was a complete surprise.

"I heard that the person who made this musket seems to be called Dai Zilai, this guy also made the 'Zimu Cupola Cannon', which is extremely powerful, and the emperor also personally gave this cannon the name 'General Weiyuan', which we also used when we attacked Yaxa! It's a pity, but later I heard that this Lord Dai was robbed of his post because of 'fornication with the Eastern'! Peng Chun said again.

"What?" Mo Jing was shocked again!

"How can such a person be distributed? This is a talent, a big talent, a super talent that can't be exchanged for 100,000 horses! How can it be said that the distribution will be distributed? Yu Zhong shouted hurriedly.

"This is the emperor's will! ......" Peng Chun shook his head and said, after the Battle of Yaxa, of course he understood the power of firearms, especially for defending the city, it was like a tiger with wings, so for a firearms expert like Dai Zi, he was no longer as unimportant as before!

"Do you know where that Dai Zi is now? This kind of talent must be protected, even if it is distributed, it must be protected! This is a specialist, more valuable than a prime minister! ......" Yu Zhong looked directly into Peng Chun's eyes and said eagerly.

"This, I don't know very well, but it doesn't seem to be destined for the south, so it should be in the north, this north, it's not Ningguta, it's Liaodong......" Pierced by Yu Zhong's strong gaze, his eyes hurt a little, and Peng Chun said unconsciously.

"Ninguta? …… I immediately wrote to Ma De and Xiao Luo...... "Yu Zhong turned around and went to find a pen and paper!"

"Don't forget to write a copy for Fei Lao...... By the way, let him go to Sabusu, if it is in the Liaodong area, the words of this Fengtian Admiral are the most effective! Mo Jing reminded in the back.

……

After chatting for a while, coming out of Mo Jing's house, Peng Chun and Lang Tan both had some doubts!

"Why do they care so much about that Dai Zi?" Lang Tan asked, "Do they still want to make firearms?" Without the permission of the imperial court, it will be killed! ”

"How do I know! I thought they were trying to steal from our Qing Dynasty firearms manufacturing, but they informed Sabu Su, which means that they are not those Xiyi spies...... So what exactly are they trying to do? Peng Chun also has some doubts!

"Spies? Is there such a large area of spies who have defrauded the territory of the enemy country? …… Besides, what the hell are they trying to do, and they won't show it in front of you, the Heilongjiang general, right? Lang Tan shook his head, and in his heart he was very disdainful of Peng Chun's intelligence!

At the same time, they saw a soldier running towards him.

"What happened?" Lang Tan stopped the soldier and asked.

"Master Hui: Come on...... An old Russian man surnamed Fei came and pointed out that he wanted to see the county lord of Mo Jing! The soldier replied solemnly.

"The old Russian man with the surname Fei?"

Fedoro!

A marquis of Russia, who was blinded by the misery, once again came to Heilongjiang and Yaxa!
