Sha Mi Chagan and Totokh are like good friends, and they seem very harmonious in front of Zhu Gaochi.

The two even held hands and came out of the Shizi's Mansion together.

The gate of the Shizifu.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the existence of the other party, and the two were still holding their hands.

"Hmph."

"Hmph."

The two shook off their hands at the same time and snorted coldly.

The guards of the palace were inexplicable.

These two people were fine just now, just like the rabbit master, why did they make trouble again.

Soon.

"You must convince the little prince."

Sha Mi Chagan still took the initiative to say: "You don't know the strength of the new army. "Thinking of the original scene, Sha Michagan still can't forget it.

"Is it true that the captives of the Ming army are saying? Many people don't believe it. Tokhtar asked seriously.

More than 100 horsemen were killed without injury, and more than 2,000 horsemen were eliminated.

If this result is true, it is really incomprehensible.

Sha Michagan was overjoyed in his heart.

This was a good opportunity, and I was about to tell Tokh that it was fake, but I hesitated.

It's not a good time to fight.

Sha Mi Chagan didn't like the Ming Dynasty to use force in Yili, and he also didn't want to get rid of them and make trouble, so he led the Ming army in Hami.

Forget it.

Cheap this guy.

Sha Michagan nodded truthfully, "I saw it with my own eyes. ”

"There are a thousand cavalry like that, and you can sweep through the entire Yili Force, you can weigh it yourself."

"Hiss......"

He gasped.

He didn't quite believe it, suspecting that the captives were in the hands of the Ming army, and they were forced to make their exaggerations.

But he knew Shami Chagan.

If Sha Micha Gan said that it was false, it was possible to lie, but only if it was true, it was more likely to be true.

"If you have to find out the murderer, the murderer is the ghost power red sweat."

"Nope."

Shami Chagan shook his head.

Totoku looked at Sha Michagan in surprise, are there any other calculations against each other at this time?

Shami Chagan said: "The murderer should be Timur, because only he is the farthest, so that the Ming army can give up revenge." ”

That's right, Totoku nodded, and the two reached a tacit understanding.

The two great forces, which were originally hostile to each other, chose to temporarily put aside their contradictions under the oppression of the powerful Ming army.

……

Three hundred and sixty lines of saying.

From the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was popular to say the thirty-six lines.

But whether it is 360 lines or 36 lines, it can describe the development of commerce, and there are various industries and merchants.

From the depths, it can prove the prosperity of ancient commerce.

The refinement of the social division of labor represents the exuberance of productive forces, which was not found in all ancient surrounding areas.

Academic circles, business circles.

There are also medical circles, mathematical circles, chemical circles, etc., and the same is true for business circles.

The coal bosses are the richest, and they have the biggest business.

But every industry has its own path.

Peking Restaurant.

This earliest restaurant has been turned into an eight-storey building, showing its splendor, and it is no longer a place for ordinary people to consume.

The first floor is the lobby.

The hall is accompanied by a dance team and musicians.

Saltpeter was placed in the pool.

"This is the famous fairy pool." People gather around pools of saltpeter to marvel and feel the refreshment of their breath.

If later scholars studied it, they would know that this is the oxygen released by saltpeter in water.

So people here feel like they are breathing well.

But today's people don't know it, so the big restaurant relies on this "secret" to make enough gimmicks.

The origin of chemistry is developed step by step.

In the process of using various ores, various phenomena are discovered, and then through the magic to attract people's attention.

The same is true of the invention of gunpowder in China.

Alchemists invented gunpowder.

The main street of the Peking Restaurant.

"Jingle bells."

A two-wheeled carriage arrived, and the doorman at the door had already greeted him, but he did not recognize the identity of the person, so he could only receive him warmly.

The carriage came down with a middle-aged man, who was greeted by the rest of the doorman.

The carriage did not belong to his.

There are special car dealers in Beiping, some of which run zero on the market, erect signs to represent empty cars, put down signs to represent people, and some are paid monthly by large households.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"The sky is rich and the flowers are blooming."

The doorman was stunned and secretly noted the appearance of the visitor.

The guests who can charter a private room in Tianzihao are either rich or expensive, and they are the distinguished guests of the big restaurant, and these guys who pay up to two yuan a month must have this vision.

The next time he returns, the doorman will be able to call out his name.

The middle-aged man did not stay in the "fairy pool", his face was not very happy, and he was a little serious, and the doorman did not say much.

The newly installed steam engine went up and down the ladder, and the doorman led the middle-aged man into the ladder, then pulled the outside fence door, then the inner fence door, and then pulled the rope in the carriage.

The staff in the operation room heard the bell and knew that it was the eighth floor according to the bell, and started the operation.

The middle-aged man is a little cramped.

As the upper and lower stairs rose, the middle-aged man couldn't help but reach out to hold the compartment wall.

The doorman couldn't help but judge in his heart.

Observing people is their professional habit.

This middle-aged man can make an appointment in the Tianzihao private room, which means that he is a person with status, and it seems that it is the first time to take the ladder up and down.

Is it a new businessman?

After the invention of the steam engine, it immediately won the love of merchants.

Ordinary people can't afford it at home, and they can't use it.

But for Peking Restaurant, this is definitely something to improve the identity of its own restaurant, and it is naturally not missed.

The big merchants who frequented the Grain Stamp Bank would take a steam engine up and down the ladder at the Grain Stamp Bank.

You can also take it to Beiping Restaurant.

So the doorman kept speculating.

"Jingle bells."

There was a bell outside the staircase, indicating that it had reached the eighth floor, and the doorman hurriedly opened the fence door inside, and then opened the fence door outside.

"Guest, please."

"Thank you."

"Guest, it's time for the rich flowers to bloom."

The doorman pointed to the sign.

The 8th floor is quiet.

It's even so empty that you can't even see people.

The floor is carpeted, famous paintings are hung on the walls, exquisite porcelain on various tables, and various playthings.

Every place is full of exquisiteness.

The good service made the middle-aged businessman very happy, so he rewarded the doorman with a penny.

The shot was not generous, but the doorman did not dampen his enthusiasm.

Relying on a salary of two yuan a month, and a reward that is more than the salary, the doorman feels that he can work here for the rest of his life.

The doorman took the initiative to knock on the doorring for the middle-aged man.

The metal knocker makes a crisp sound under the striking of the metal fasteners.

The waiter inside opened the door.

The waiter wears a black coat and is neatly dressed, and only the staff who have undergone strict training and have worked in the restaurant for more than three years can serve in Tianzihao.

"But Zhang Dongjia?"

"Yes."

"Great, Steward Zhou, Wu Dongjia, Gong Dongjia, they have been waiting for a long time."

The waiter nodded to the doorman, and the doorman said goodbye to Zhang Dongjia and left.

The middle-aged man followed the waiter into the private room.

In the corridor of the private room, there are rockeries on both sides, and on the mountainside of the rockery, there are carved monkeys, and the monkeys in the monkey group are only the size of a grain of rice.

Although it is only the size of a grain of rice, each monkey is alive.

Pass through the wooden Langfang, and then the main hall with the door closed.

The door opens.

The businessmen who were talking greeted them one after another.

"Zhang Dongjia, I finally invited you."

"Let me introduce to you, this is the manager of the military-industrial joint office."

Zhang Qi didn't expect that even the people from the military-industrial joint office would come, so he didn't dare to keep a straight face, but smiled.

There were seven or eight people in the private room, and after greeting each other, they sat down at the wide round table. The slurry top, which emits a streamer, can be seen with the naked eye.

Two waitresses served tea to the middle-aged man and set up a set of utensils.

Ivory chopsticks, mandarin duck lotus petal pattern gold bowl, double lion pattern gold bell, gilt dancing horsebit cup silver kettle, gold basket Bao Tian group pattern gold cup, gilt arabesque flower and bird pattern silver feather bud, chisel flower small gold plate, golden jue.

It is used for drinking soup, for fishing food from soup, for eating vegetables, for eating fish, for drinking, for filling fish bones......

In a country where you can make more than a dozen utensils by eating crabs, it is scary to pay attention to etiquette.

Zhang Qi couldn't laugh.

There is no good feast.

He didn't want to come, but he really couldn't shirk it, and now he didn't expect even the military-industrial joint office to come forward.

Steward Zhou went straight to the point.

He looked directly at Zhang Qi and said, "You cotton merchants don't want to fight in Yili, but it's just for profit. ”

"If the war in Yili is approved, the Joint Office of the Military Industry will purchase 400,000 sets of cotton clothes, 200,000 sets of quilts, and hundreds of thousands of sets of miscellaneous materials from you."

Gunpowder Merchant, Flint Merchant, Copper Merchant......

They looked at Zhang Qi with a smile.

That's the showdown.

Merchants in the downstream supply chain of various military industrial enterprises, a showdown with cotton merchants.

The cotton merchant is certainly not just Zhang Qi.

But Zhang Qi was the first to engage in cotton trade in Yili Jiangli, opened up the local network, and became the most famous cotton merchant.

As long as he nodded in agreement, this massive order was not something that his cotton merchant could eat.

Does Zhang Qi have a choice?

After all, the cotton merchant was a fledgling force, and the strength of any trading house here surpassed him.

Zhang Qi secretly gritted his teeth, in the future, his cotton must be sold all over the country and the world, and he will become the most powerful businessman.

I will never be persecuted again.

Although the interests are moving, Zhang Qi is more worried that the war in Yili will cause irreparable damage to the cotton planting industry in Yili.

He didn't have the ability to recruit workers from the mainland to plant cotton in Yili, and he couldn't even recruit people in places like Liaodong, let alone in these places.

Zhang Qi raised his glass.

Everyone smiled.

In the midst of the staggered planning, a war against Yili was a common idea between the military-industrial joint office and the businessmen.

Merchants offered to donate.

In just half a month, 100,000 yuan of military spending was raised.

Driven by the arms merchants, the coal mine merchants must not be left behind, they will not give up the opportunity to tie up any forces.

Subsequently, the coal miners donated more than 200,000 yuan and won the favor of the military-industrial joint office.
