On the other side, after Wiggens and Gison left.

The two did not go back to the ship directly, but went to a tavern in the concession together.

The two asked for a private room, ordered a lot of wine, and asked the person in charge of the tavern to find them some beautiful women to accompany them.

The two chatted and drank at the same time.

They talked about some things in the past, and the two chatted happily, and as for the things that had just been invited by Naranhe to the past, they had selectively forgotten about it.

After all, they don't take such things to heart.

Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open.

An Asian man in his thirties walked in.

"Boss." As soon as the man came in, he walked up to Ji Xun and shouted respectfully.

His name is Zhou Li, a native of Guangdong, who believed that gold was everywhere in the lighthouse country in the early years, and then went to San Francisco, the lighthouse country, to dig for gold.

After getting on the boat, I realized that I had been deceived.

When he arrived in San Francisco, he was left marked by someone and became a slave.

Then I started mining day and night, paying back the money for the ferry ticket, food, clothing, and housing.

Anyway, no matter how you pay it back, it's just not over.

He saw that there were people who resisted, but those who resisted all disappeared after that.

Zhou Li was still young, he didn't want to die, he began to try to change.

He began to learn the language of foreigners, perhaps because he had a good talent for languages, and he quickly learned the basic usage of English.

This also allows him to communicate with foreigners.

Because he is smart and will come to things, slowly, he has status.

He began to be used by foreigners to manage his compatriots, because he was also Chinese, and he knew his compatriots, so he did his job very well.

In the end, he was appreciated.

gained freedom, which also made him understand that only by being loyal to foreigners could he get a free and better life.

But money and status corrupted him, and he forgot who he really was.

He began to become a lackey of foreigners.

Become a Chinese assistant and come to Foshan to trick those ignorant young people into digging for gold in San Francisco.

He didn't feel like he was doing it wrong.

Because in his opinion, the future path is his own choice, if it weren't for those people who were greedy for money and stupid, how could they be deceived by him.

Even if they are deceived, they deserve it.

And now, he works for Jixun.

Gison was a businessman who not only sold opium, but also trafficked people.

That is, to deceive the Chinese to Jinshan and sell them as piglets to those mine owners.

Young Chinese are young and strong, and one can be sold for almost fifty dollars.

A little more at a time is enough for him to make a lot of money.

In addition, when he came, he would bring a shipload of opium to sell, and he would earn about three or four hundred thousand dollars back and forth.

Although it can take three to four months to make a round trip, sometimes it can take a little longer or even half a year.

But one trip back and forth earns three or four hundred thousand dollars, an amount that ordinary people can't even think of in this era.

Of course, it is not easy for merchant ships to go on the sea, after all, there are many pirates at sea.

So the role of Wiggens is important.

With his fleet escort, the safety of the merchant ships under his name is guaranteed.

Although he also has to pay half of the profit because of this.

But it's worth it.

Otherwise, he is a lighthouse countryman, and Wiggens is a British major general, why should he have such a good relationship with him.

Everything is just profit.

"Well, this is General Wigens, you know."

When Zhou Li heard this, he immediately smiled and said; "General Wiggins."

Wiggens glanced at Zhou Li contemptuously, and was not even interested in responding to him.

Zhou Li was suddenly a little embarrassed.

But Ji Xun didn't care.

"Alright, report on how many people you've recruited during this time."

Ji Xun also didn't like Zhou Li because he was from the Qing Dynasty.

But Zhou Li is very useful, so even if he doesn't like Zhou Li, he still uses Zhou Li.

Because he can help him make money.

"Boss, there are already more than 700 people willing to go to Jinshan with us to dig for gold." Zhou Li heard Ji Xun's question.

The embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he immediately piled up a smile again, and reported his 'merits'.

"And these people are basically young and strong, most of them are young people in their twenties, and there are not many in their thirties."

"It's only seven hundred, it's too few, continue to recruit, I bought three more ships, which can carry more people."

"Continue to solicit, at least fifteen hundred talents."

"You still have ten days, and within ten days, you must fill me with people."

"Okay, boss." Zhou Li nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, you go down, there's nothing for you here."

Ji Xun waved his hand.

began to rush Zhou Li away.

As for the benefits of doing things, he didn't mention them at all.

But Zhou Li didn't dare to say anything.

I don't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Then boss, I'll leave first and continue to recruit people." Zhou Li said with a smile.

After laughing, he bent over and left the private room.

Wait until Zhou Li leaves.

A smile immediately appeared on Wigans' face.

He laughed and said aloud; "Ji Xun, you are so powerful, how did you train this guy to be so obedient."

"I also have a few Chinese slaves, and they are not as obedient as you."

Wiggens directly used the strip to describe Zhou Li.

Obviously, in his eyes, Zhou Li is not a person at all.

It's no different from a dog.

"It's very simple, throw another bone at the dog when it's hungry, and it will eat the bone, even though it will grin at you."

"If you eat more bones, when it sees you, it will bow its head and wag its tail at you, and obey you."

"Hahahaha, that's really good, Ji Xun, you're very smart, no wonder you can make your business so big."

"My brother has a daughter, and I may have time to introduce you to you."

"This.... General Wigens, are you serious? ”

"Of course, Ji Xun, I appreciate your intelligence and wisdom."

"Originally, I was going to test you for a while, but I'm happy with your performance."

"So, I'm willing to help you with that."

"And I'd love to be a family with you." Wiggens said with a smile.

When Ji Xun heard this, his face was immediately overjoyed.

His expression was not pretended, but he was really very happy, and could even be said to be surprised.

During this period, Queen Victoria was in power, and it was also the most powerful period of Great Britain, and it was precisely because of this period that Great Britain had the saying that the sun never sets on the empire.

As a British rear admiral, Wisgen's status in Britain is naturally not simple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit where he is now.

Wiggins's family was an aristocracy in England, and it was not a minor aristocracy.

If he can marry the Wiggens family, it will be of great benefit to Jixun.

It's also a great honor.

Because the lighthouse country in this period was somewhat pro-British, its status in the world was far inferior to that of the lighthouse country in the later period, and it was not as good as the current Great Britain.

After all, the presidents of the Lighthouse Nation have basically been British-born Beacon Nations.

For example, the first president of the Lighthouse Nation, George Washington, was a British-born Lighthouse Nation.

His family was even a British nobleman.

The reason for the bloodline makes them inherently pro-British.

Moreover, the people of the lighthouse country during this period were also honored with the nobility of the Queen of England.

If anyone can become the nobility of England, it will definitely be a very special and long-faced thing.

Because becoming an aristocrat means that your class is different, and you are different from ordinary people.

This is something that many people in the Lighthouse Nation dream of.

But it is not easy to be crowned a nobleman by Queen Victoria.

And for Ji Xun, even if he can't become a nobleman immediately, he can become the son-in-law of a nobleman.

In the future, with the support of the Wiggens family, his business is getting bigger.

It is not impossible to be named a nobleman.

How could this not surprise him.
