This kind of pistol is very troublesome to load, but as long as you know its use, it is actually very convenient to use, and it can fire five or six bullets in a row, which is the best self-defense weapon that Zhao Dagui knows about this plane so far.

Zhao Dagui had a total of twenty-four revolvers in his hands, so he loaded them with bullets, found a large wooden box, loaded twenty-four pistols into it, loaded some bullets, found something to fix them, and then closed the lid of the box.

In this way, when you look at it from the outside, you can't see that there are so many murderous weapons inside.

"It is said that the most powerful of the seven weapons is a box, and when my box is activated at a critical moment, it can pour out more than a hundred bullets, even if you encounter any trouble, you can deal with it. ”

This was not enough, Zhao Dagui took out another five thousand taels of silver, went to the money village to exchange for five hundred taels of gold, and after taking it home, he used the magic power of the main god library to convert all of it into spiritual gold.

After the gold was converted into spiritual gold, the main god library flashed a prompt, asking if it was "sacrificed" to upgrade the library, but Zhao Dagui said "no", just storing the spiritual gold in the library.

Spiritual gold can be integrated into the body, and it can appear in any part of the body as soon as the mind moves, and change the shape at will according to your own needs, and because it is a spiritual material refined by yourself, it is the same as a part of your body, and it is a strange thing to feel the weight at all.

As soon as Zhao Dagui's mind moved, the spiritual gold instantly appeared outside the body, wrapping his upper body, just like a set of tailor-made gold armor, the best thing is that he can't feel the weight and won't affect his actions;

If it weren't for this trip to Huzhou, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy goods, Zhao Dagui would have the heart to exchange hundreds of catties of gold, all of which would be converted into spiritual gold and stored in the library, and he would use the spiritual gold armor to protect himself at a critical moment.

Speaking of which, this Lingjin Battle Armor can be regarded as the only mysterious means that Zhao Dagui has, and the library's book collection function can be regarded as improving memory at most, and it doesn't count much.

As the saying goes, with a sharp weapon in his body, his murderous intent suddenly arises, Zhao Dagui realized that he had a box full of pistols and Lingjin armor as a backing, and he was not a person who had no power to resist, so he settled down and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Dagui asked Shopkeeper Chen to stay and look at the store, and asked him to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and then took Shopkeeper Xie and three guys to the dock outside the East Gate to meet with a dart master and a runner from the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

This time, the leader of the Fuwei Dart Bureau was the dart head surnamed Zhang who I had seen the day before, but seeing that Li Yingqiong and Li Nuxia were also in the ranks of dart masters, the corners of Zhao Dagui's mouth twitched involuntarily.

The Dagui trading house was not short of money, and it brought a lot of people this time, and it had to bring a lot of goods on the return trip, so it hired a large river boat, which was a little larger than many of the sea ships that went to sea and sailed far away.

The boat went all the way up the river to Huzhou, and it looked very stable.

Zhao Dagui took the time to knock on the side with the executioners of the dart game, and paid attention to the topic of listening to the chatting of the executioners, and knew that Li Yingqiong was the only daughter of Li Ning, one of the famous Qilu Sanying in the rivers and lakes (this is the name of luck), and later worshiped Miao Yizhen, the head of the Emei faction, as a teacher, and learned amazing swordsmanship.

Lin Zhennan, the chief dart head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, has a deep friendship with Li Yingqiong's father, Li Ning, and Miaoyi Zhenren is also half a brother, so Li Yingqiong Yicheng went to Lin Zhennan to be a dart master after going down the mountain, and made a great reputation in the rivers and lakes with a very powerful Emei swordsmanship.

However, it is said that Li Yingqiong has not had a good time recently, saying that she went out to take a dark dart some time ago, but when she was about to return to the dart game, she was besieged by several first-class players, lost her dart, and returned empty-handed.

Fortunately, the owner of the dark dart has a very good relationship with the dart bureau and the Emei faction, and he knows that the master of the siege at that time is too famous, so Li Yingqiong is no wonder about this matter, and he has no intention of pursuing it, but it also makes Li Yingqiong furious, and he must find out the few people who besieged her at the beginning and clean it up.

However, these executioners have a low status and limited knowledge, so they can't tell what kind of dart Li Yingqiong protected at the beginning, it seems to be a palm-sized golden sword.

Hearing this, Lord Zhao's expression became very exciting.

Everyone sat on the boat until they arrived at Nanxun Town on the outskirts of Huzhou, and Zhao Dagui asked people to stop the boat, get off the boat together, and go to Nanxun Town.

At this time, Nanxun Town was not as famous as a few years later, nor was it so rich, but it was already famous for its abundance of lake silk, and it was a fairly wealthy Jiangnan town.

Zhao Dagui is not familiar with Nanxun Town, or as a local of the magic capital, Xie Shopkeeper has been here a few times before, and he can more or less recognize the way, but when it comes to local connections or something, it is not very good.

Fortunately, Nanxun is just a small town, and it is very fast.

Zhao Dagui took everyone to wander around the town for a while, and inquired with the locals, knowing that there were six silk villages in Nanxun Town, and the raw silk in the countryside around Nanxun was generally purchased by local silk dealers, and then sold to these silk villages.

After these silk estates bought raw silk, they sold it to silk weaving factories in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Ningbo for their silk production.

When I inquired about the current purchase price of raw silk, they all said that the current price of raw silk is about one or two raw silk is worth about seven cents of silver, and there is no profit.

Zhao Dagui listened and nodded secretly.

The magic capital is rich in products, the cotton yield is very high, and many local farmers make a living from weaving, but they do not produce silk, and few produce silk.

This makes it very difficult to buy raw silk locally in the magic capital, at least for now.

In fact, in the Sino-British trade, the trade profit of raw silk is much higher than that of tea, and the trade volume is much higher than that of tea.

When it comes to raw silk trade, we must first talk about the domestic price of raw silk.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lake silk produced in Huzhou is considered to be the best raw silk, there are 100 catties of lake silk 100 taels, it seems that from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty Daoguang period is so, the change is not much, and the price of a pound of raw silk and a tael of silver.

According to the price asked in Nanxun, one or two raw silk is worth seven cents of silver, that is to say, a pound of raw silk is worth one or two cents of silver, which is not much different.

Of course, this is the price at which the silk dealer buys raw silk from the tea farmer, and the silk village buys the raw silk from the silk seller and sells it elsewhere, and the price will definitely rise, but it will only rise by about 20%.

When it comes to the raw silk trade of this era, we have to mention Liu Yong, the richest man in Huzhou's silk industry and the head of the four elephants.

Liu Yong was born in 1825, it is said that when he was a child, his family was very poor, and he went to work in a silk village called Tan Dechang Silk Company in the town, and the annual salary was ten yuan a year (note: much lower than the guys of the Dagui firm), and the annual salary of the housekeeper of the store was about 100 strings of copper coins.

Liu Yong works hard and doesn't spend money indiscriminately, the boss thinks this person is good, and gives him an extra six oceans at the end of the year, and the family is very happy when he returns home.

However, later Liu Yong felt that there was no future for others to be a buddy, so he began to work alone.

At first, he didn't have much capital and couldn't do big business, so he went to the countryside to buy raw silk, and then took it back to the town and sold it to the silk village, making a hard-earned profit, and the profit was very small.

To add insult to injury, in the winter of 1846, several silk villages in the United Town of Guangzhuang in Nanxun Town wanted to press the purchase price of raw silk together, and the price should be pressed to less than one centith per two raw silk.

Liu Yong's cost price of buying raw silk at that time was about seven cents, and the raw silk he bought before would lose money, and he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that even if he didn't go bankrupt, he would break his muscles and bones.

In desperation, Liu Yong broke the kettle, rented a broken boat, and rocked the oars for three days and three nights to reach the sixteenth shop in the magic capital, hoping to sell raw silk at a higher price in the magic capital.

When he went ashore and inquired, the price of purchasing raw silk in the concession at that time was one catty of lake silk and two taels of silver, and how much he received, which shocked Liu Yong at once.
