The First Evolution

Of course, the Qing court also knew the importance. Officials in two departments usually didn't sell

That is the official position of the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of rites. The former has amazing power, while the latter is responsible for sacrifice.

The ritual department looks like a pure water yamen today, but it still has a high status in ancient times.

Zuo Zhuan is very clear: the major events of the country are worship and military!

Sacrifice is sacrifice, which belongs to the Ministry of rites. Rong is war, and "sacrifice" is still before "Rong". It can be seen what the values were at that time.

The country can make do with it, but the ancestors can't fool it.

All the above are gossip. After controlling 120000 liang of silver, Fang Linyan began to buy, mainly kerosene and granulated sugar. These two goods have four common characteristics:

Daily necessities, (wide audience)

Consumables, (kerosene lighting)

Resistant to storage,

Imported,

In the general environment at that time, the bourgeoisie in the late Qing Dynasty was just emerging. Granulated sugar was almost completely produced by small workshop manual production, while kerosene was not produced at all. Therefore, there was a great difference between imported (imported) quality and domestic production. The key was that the cost of domestic production was higher, so these two imported goods were best-selling goods.

When purchasing, Fang Linyan's five points of charm certainly add nothing. However, the passive ability of the young master of Zhejiang Merchants: spending money like dirt has played a great role (better results can often be obtained when conducting money related transactions (including but not limited to bribery, buying and selling, and drinking flower wine).

According to Fang Linyan's preliminary estimation, his ability has increased the transaction volume by at least 15%, that is, with this ability alone, the 120000 liang of silver in his hand has played a role of almost 140000 Liang.

However, Fang Linyan is more than that. He still has a legend of + 3. Therefore, when he reported his name in the mall, he can offer a lot of discounts with the additional fame. Therefore, the 120000 liang of silver has almost obtained the purchasing power of 160000 Liang.

But Fang Linyan found that his identity had gained a + 3 Legendary bonus. He was indeed famous, but it didn't seem to be a good reputation.

Because when many people heard the name of the sixth young master of the Hu family, they showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then looked at him with strange eyes, showing that "the guy is you..." This attitude.

Although Fang Linyan felt a little embarrassed about this, he said that Lao Tzu was thick skinned and you can look at it. When he spent this huge sum of money, he also divided it into two:

When buying goods, almost 60000 taels of silver were directly stored in stock.

But the remaining 60000 liang of silver is the deposit,

After the deposit is in place, the merchant has to start preparing the goods,

Fang Linyan agreed with them to deliver the goods in ten days and pay the balance within one month after delivery. However, the additional condition is that after the goods are ready, they must be placed in the warehouse designated by the merchant. If the balance is not settled, they cannot be transported out.

If the balance cannot be settled, the deposit will not be refunded.

This behavior is not only common at that time, but also now. It is the prototype of futures trading. The only special thing is that Fang Linyan paid a little less deposit.

According to the market at that time, the deposit should be 20% in advance, so 60000 liang of silver. In theory, only 300000 liang of kerosene and sugar can be reserved.

However, there are still few large customers like Fang Linyan. They take more goods at one time, and the price is not too hard. They are also willing to put the goods in the merchant's own warehouse.

More importantly, Fang Linyan is also willing to store 60000 liang of goods purchased by real gold and platinum together.

Therefore, the two sides agreed that Fang Linyan could actually Book 700000 liang of goods with 60000 liang of silver, which is equivalent to less than 10% of the deposit.

However, there are many such things in the market at this time. In fact, several companies even told Fang Linyan that under the same conditions, they could even deliver 800000 liang of goods, but Fang Linyan finally chose Qiao's warehouse.

The reason is very simple, that is, the Qiao family is famous, and the main business tendency of the Qiao family is the ticket number, which attaches more importance to reputation than anything else.

Fang Linyan knows his own business. Now he is doing business under the name of "young master of Hu family". In fact? He is a real speculator, and the only reason to buy these goods is to do short-term.

At present, the import and export of bulk imported goods completely depend on sea transportation, and a few days later, that is, as soon as the news of the Sino Japanese Fengdao naval battle on July 25 comes, the sea transportation will inevitably be affected.

Why? Because in history, the Sino Japanese naval battle on Fengdao was actually a one-sided massacre! Japanese armed ships directly sank a ship carrying Qing soldiers.

Here comes the point!!

The ship belongs to Britain. Even the first mate and sailors on the ship are British and were killed on the spot!

In this case, what would the departing ship think? The ships of the British father (although Britain was going downhill at that time, it was still the empire that never set the sun) were directly sunk. The Japanese were so crazy that who dared to risk his life to leave the port?

Therefore, it can be expected that in the short term, the ship's departure rate will inevitably plummet. If the ship is destroyed, what goods will it carry?

The goods entering the port will also show a cliff like decline, and the prices of white sugar and kerosene, which are mainly imported, will inevitably soar.

At that time, if the merchants with bad credit face the "futures" contract signed by Fang Linyan, they may be shameless in the face of huge profits. After all, there is no contract law, no list of dishonest persons, no court enforcement, and no debt collection company Everything depends on conscience.

Conscience has a price.

Compared with these people, the default cost of the Qiao family is the highest, so Fang Linyan finally chose the Qiao family.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Linyan took Laurent with him in the whole process of these business activities, and let him appear in his true face. When talking about business, he also said he was helping Laurent. Instead, everything was more smooth and he could get a better price

This was also a strange phenomenon of sunny night at that time. The Manchu people already had transcendent privileges in China, while the foreigners obtained more privileges than the Manchu people. It should be because after the first Opium War and the second Opium War, the Eight Power Allied forces directly dried up the legitimate armed forces of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners army, proud of the Qing Dynasty, the sharp weapon of war advancing into the Central Plains, dissipated in the smoke of foreign guns and guns!!

Without the army, there would be no backbone. From that moment on, the status of foreigners began to become detached.

After finishing this series of commercial operations, Fang Linyan spent another three days of valuable time.

No way, there is no mobile phone or Internet in this era. Even with Laurent's help, it must take so much time. At this time, it is getting closer and closer to the battle of Fengdao.

In these three days, Fang Linyan also called out the war progress bar from time to time to have a look. He found that this thing is like the stock market, which is always fluctuating. Once, the odds of China's victory even fell to 26%, but it soon recovered to more than 27%.

Youdao is used to becoming natural. After seeing it for a long time, Fang Linyan is also a little numb. Unless it suddenly falls below 20%, Fang Linyan probably doesn't care in his heart.

The next time, of course, Fang Linyan was not idle. At this time, he planned to make friends with the person he valued.

If there is no mistake in history, he should be a popular man now. There are many people who want to curry favor with him. Fang Linyan has a late chance to catch up with the cold stove. But fortunately, Fang Linyan knows his ambition very well, so as long as he can see it, he should be able to get his trust.

Just as Fang Linyan was about to go out, Laurent suddenly handed Fang Linyan a newspaper and drew a red circle on a news. At this time, it was traditional characters and vertical typesetting. Not only that, the reading order was from right to left Even Fang Linyan's own language proficiency is extremely laborious.

However, Fang Linyan soon paid attention to the main points to be expressed by Laurent:

"... when the enemy attacked Yashan, Ye Cheng, the chief soldier of Taiyuan town, has built fortifications here, divided four troops to resist the enemy, and a fierce attack was made by the Japanese Yoshima warehouse. Ye Kezhong, the son of Ye Cheng, fought bravely, led more than 300 enemies and killed the Japanese general shangtiaokang. Yashan is safe and sound..."

This news is simply that Ye Cheng's son made meritorious service here in Yashan, killed more than 300 Japanese soldiers and killed a Japanese captain!

However, as soon as Fang Linyan saw the word Yashan, he immediately woke up. This is clearly the battle of Yashan!

At that time, China and Japan did not enter the state of all-out war at the beginning, but Japan directly put its hand into the North Korea separated by a river, directly sent troops to North Korea and supported a puppet regime.

At that time, North Korea still regarded the Qing Dynasty as the suzerain state, so the Qing Dynasty could not bear it. However, the children of the Eight Banners had been abolished, so they had to dispatch the Han minister's army to do small Japan. So they asked Li Gongzhang to dispatch his Huai army. The two sides fought first in North Korea and became a local war.

The first time the two sides fought, it was in Yashan. China calls it the battle of Yashan, while Japan calls it the battle of chenghuanyi.

The key is that Fang Linyan read the historical data of his own world before entering, and asked the goat to bring the historical data of their world to himself. However, the battle of Yashan was lost by the Qing Dynasty without exception, and it was still a crushing battle.

Because of this battle, 37 Japanese died and 91 Qing army died This is a battle of 3800 vs 4000!

However, according to the information in the newspaper, the Qing army won and killed ten times the Japanese army in the original history. Not only that, the captain who killed the Japanese was under the jurisdiction of 384 soldiers, and his level was not low.

Therefore, there must be external forces involved, which will lead to the change of history Fang Linyan's eyes turned to the name "ye Kezhong". Obviously, it is likely to be a space warrior, and his purpose is the same as that of.

However, the relationship between space soldiers must not be measured by the simple truth that "the enemy of the enemy is a friend"! This world is a mixed world. People with simple minds can't enter here at all.

After silently remembering the name, Fang Linyan was a little curious at this time. At this time, it was obvious that the space soldiers on the side of the Qing Dynasty could not bear it and took the lead. Then how should the people on the Japanese side face it?

With such thoughts, Fang Linyan patted Laurent on the shoulder, signaled him to do well, and then called a manpower rickshaw. After giving an address, he got on the bus and asked him to pull himself over.

The address reported by Fang Linyan is: Sichuan guild hall.

At that time, the guild hall was a very special product. You can understand it as the function of hometown association + Club + teahouse + relief center (only limited to a certain area) + Friendship Club + Beijing office.

If Sichuan people who come to BJ are in trouble, whether they are short of money, bullied, lack of contacts, even lonely, and even their relatives cannot be buried, they can come to the guild hall to take a chance and maybe meet someone who can help you solve the problem.

As for the probability of getting help, it is probably equal to your potential and investment value.

At the same time, officials and gentry from the same place of origin often come to the guild hall to chat, talk, hold meetings and make friends. For example, many factions in the imperial court are formed in the guild hall.

However, most guild halls do a good job, that is, they do not save the poor.

For example, if people are seriously ill and urgently in need of treatment, most of them can get basic treatment when they go to the guild hall.

For example, those who have no money to go back to their hometown can probably get some money to go back to their hometown. As for the death of local people in a foreign land, no one cares, the guild hall will mostly try to restrain them and put them in the Yizhuang.

This is also the meaning of several shareholders who want to establish the guild hall, that is to invite them in the name of wealth.

Fang Linyan came to the Sichuan guild hall, of course, not to ask for help, because if so, he should go to the Zhejiang guild hall. When he came here, he wanted to warm up and get to know the potential stock he liked.

Although in the eyes of most people, this guy is already a very sharp bull man, if it is placed in China's 5000 year history, it will be like dust.

Fang Linyan felt that if he provided him with a bigger stage and opportunity, this person would have the opportunity to go down in history!

Times make heroes. If Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an era of peace, there would be only one more monk in the world. If the Apocalypse was not born well, it would be a carpenter.

Unfortunately, good things are difficult. Fang Linyan came to the door of the Sichuan guild hall and asked about it. Only when he heard the porter say that the gentleman was here last night, drinking and laughing with several friends all night, and he went for less than an hour.
