It turned out that Pan Shicheng's nephew was the fifth oldest in the family, and familiar people called him Pan Wu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the beginning, he studied martial arts in Sanyuanguan, and he also knew Wang Jiuxuan, so Wang Jiuxuan didn't see him much.

"No, I don't. I see that you have a good conversation today, you see that you took out information again, and what kind of fangs did you say, and you were stunned and stunned, and you were choked enough.

I have been dealing with the British for so long, and it is the first time I have seen people who can squeeze the British consul to that extent, and I have always said that Senior Brother Wang is mighty.

In the end, didn't the consul of Yilu also say it, and he will check it out for himself. Pan Wu was a little inexplicable, he obviously said it very well, why did this senior brother with high martial arts have a wrong expression.

"Even if this is a good discussion, your standard is too low, right?" Wang Jiuxuan felt unacceptable, looking at Pan Wu with an incomprehensible expression.

"That's the only way to go. Could it be that Senior Brother Wang still expects the British consul to act like Pan Ran comprehended, nodding and promising to deal with it immediately according to your request, and let all the captains of the British ships be investigated by you?"

"Shouldn't it be like that?"

Wang Jiuxuan and Pan Wuda's eyes widened, and they waited for each other for a long time before they realized that there was a big difference in their understanding of things.

Li Xian held back a smile for a long time, and finally burst out laughing, causing the two of them to turn around at the same time and glare at him.

"Li Xian, don't hide aside and laugh. Let me ask you, today's matter will have this kind of result, did you understand it from the beginning?" Wang Jiuxuan suddenly reacted, pointed at Li Xian and asked.

Li Xian thought to himself that you don't know anything, so he thought that if he said it casually, the consul of a country would listen to your command, even if the governor of Liangguang was here, he would not have this treatment.

According to British law, the so-called chief superintendent of commerce abroad actually also serves as a consular officer, but these things are not only very complicated to explain to Wang Jiuxuan, but also a little hurtful, Li Xian doesn't want to be this villain.

"That brother Wang, drink tea first, dissipate your anger, and then I'll explain it to you slowly. In fact, if you want me to say that Brother Wang did the right thing today, it can even be said to be quite perfect, which can be called a great diplomatic victory of our Qing Dynasty in recent years.

If future generations want to write history and write about Brother Wang, they will inevitably say that they are strong and call you a hero. When he said this, Li Xian had become very serious, and his face was sincere, so that Wang Jiuxuan understood that Li Xian was not laughing at himself.

"But, what the hell is going on today, you tell me about the charter. Wang Jiuxuan's anger subsided a little, but he still urged Li Xian to continue.

"Where do you start, well, let's start here.

You know that we have Macau in Guangdong, and now it is occupied by the Portuguese, and all kinds of business are carried out.

What rank do you think the governor of Macau should be?" asked Li Xian.

"What level can it be? Macau is just a small place under Mong-Ha County, and there are only more than 2,000 Portuguese in it, and most of them are mixed-race children.

In this big place, they are embarrassed to call themselves governors. I think that according to my official position in the Qing Dynasty, there is a positive nine grades, at most from the eighth grade to the sky. Wang Jiuxuan replied.

Li Xian originally wanted to correct this statement, but after thinking about it carefully, it was difficult to refute this statement, from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Macao was just a small local leader who managed thousands of people, and any unpopular nine-rank official was not necessarily smaller than the other party.

"Then what kind of statute do you think the head of the British Chamber of Commerce is compared to the governor of Macau?" Li Xian continued to ask.

"The head of the British Chamber of Commerce, at most a few merchants, this level should be lower, right?

The Governor of Macao is still a man with land and a city, and the British Chamber of Commerce is the head of a chamber of commerce, and he doesn't even have a bit of land, all of which are let him live temporarily by the imperial court, so what grade can he have. Wang Jiuxuan was a little unimpressed.

Pan Wu wiped his nose and wanted to correct Wang Jiuxuan's statement, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to give up.

"The problem may be here. Brother Wang may not understand it very well, but no matter how you look at it, these two positions are not petty tubes.

Let's talk about the Governor of Macao, although there are few people in charge, but the rank is high, and basically only the title of earl or above can be held.

If you think about how tall our Qing Earl is, you will understand that the Governor of Macao is not a small person. ”

"It's a bit surprising that it's still an earl. However, I'm afraid that the titles of foreigners can't be compared with our Qing Dynasty. Wang Jiuxuan understood that he might be thinking something wrong, but he still didn't approve of it.

Li Xian sighed in his heart, Wang Jiuxuan was the most outstanding martial arts disciple he had ever seen, he was chivalrous and very smart, but there was such a big deviation in his understanding of foreigners, it can be seen what would happen to other people.

On the surface, this Wang Jiuxuan has always wanted to bring down the Qing court, but he is usually used to thinking of himself as the heavenly kingdom, which reflects the general thinking of most people in this era.

It can't be said that this kind of thinking is bad, but all cognition must be in line with the real situation, otherwise whether it is excessive inferiority or pride, it will bring great frustration.

"When it comes to the British General Superintendent of Commerce in China, it is actually a great position.

Our Qing country has long despised merchants, but foreign countries are different, merchants have a very high status, they can participate in the parliament, and elect parliamentarians and ministers.

What's more, the Chief Superintendent of Commerce in China is also the Consul in China, and he can be regarded as the Kipchak Minister sent by the Queen of England to our Qing Dynasty, representing the face of Britain, which is a very high level.

Let's put it this way, we also have a Ministry of Rites in the Qing Dynasty, and below the Ministry of Rites, there are servants of the Ministry of Rites, and below these two people, it is this kind of consular level.

Moreover, the real power of the consul may not be as good as that of the chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites, but the rank of the single round is almost the same, basically the same. Li Xian didn't understand the current grade system of Britain very thoroughly, but it didn't prevent him from fooling Wang Jiuxuan, who didn't understand anything.

"You mean that today's righteous law is an official from the third grade, but I don't see it. Wang Jiuxuan only realized at this time that he might have made a fuss, and he wanted to force an official from the third grade to do what he wanted.
