Beiyang new warlord

"Wow you kid!"

Maybe he heard the prevarication in Mao Jue's words, maybe he guessed that this kid has become completely different, Mao Wenlong shook his head, but this time he waved his hand without saying anything more.

"Okay, I'm going back! Just be careful."

"I obey."

Coming and going in a hurry, the big ship swayed, and disappeared into the night again. However, the corner of Mao Jue’s mouth was raised when he was standing at the port. Mao Wenlong solved three problems in a row, money, food and more. There is a place!And that kind of caring attitude vaguely made Mao Jue find the warm feeling of home again.

"General!"

Accompanied by the cold wind blowing, Su Changmei, a fat man, kept shrinking her neck. It wasn't until the boat was far away that this guy couldn't help but clenched his fists at Mao Jue, and asked with a little complaint.

"Just now Mao Shuai asked why he didn't take the opportunity to take Zhao Cheng down? Get rid of him, and our power in Tieshan will be greatly improved!"

This fat man complained a lot to Mao Jue, but after all, he was under Mao Jue's command, and since he and Zhao Cheng had already lost face, he naturally wanted to find ways to kill this guy.

But listening to his question, Mao Jue's face turned cold suddenly and he hummed disdainfully.

"He is Lao Tzu's subordinate. If I want to clean him up, I will do it myself. I'm not a child, so I need to sue my parents?"

It is said that the protagonist is a villain. At this moment, Mao Jue actually put on a halo of the protagonist. Looking at his confident appearance, Fatty Su was stunned, and then nodded his head thoughtfully.

In the morning of the next day, the military port of Tieshan became noisy again. The grain boats from Phi Island were transported to Tieshan like crucian carp crossing the river, and among them were three swaying Jiangnan-style big-bellied blessing boats. It looks like a duck in it, which is particularly eye-catching.

The two maidservants of Saobao were in front again, swaying flower petals.Just two steps away, four beauties had to carry small sedan chairs to carry them down. The servants spread red stalls on the ground. Qian Zeng, the son of kidney deficiency, opened the folding fan with a click, and jumped down with the word "handsome". Pretentiously, he shook his head and yelled at the Dongjiang sergeant who had already been waiting there.

"My son is a good friend of Ru Tieshan Ginseng General who kowtows and worships his master, so let me inform you quickly."

"Oh, Brother Qian, Mao really misses you!"

Before he finished speaking, Mao Jue, who was in armor in the crowd, rushed out like an iron man, and he was like a bear hug when he went up, the iron bumps in the cotton armor, and the recent training in the army Strength, this arm, almost strangled Qian Zeng's eyeballs.

"Maomao, Brother Mao, tight, tight! Can't breathe!"

"Oh? Why is Brother Qian's face so ugly! Hey, Brother Qian, don't get dizzy! Come on, come on!"

The famous and legendary businessman in the history of later generations was almost as useless as he was strangled to death by a bear hug. At the beginning of the entrepreneurial road, as Mao Jue yelled anxiously, the whole port suddenly became a mess

Chapter 54. Gift Package

Mao Jue was really dumbfounded, the two maidservants holding petals buried their faces in the flower basket, the four little girls carrying the palanquin also twitched their pretty faces with suppressed laughter, as for the kid with kidney deficiency, the little daughter-in-law Sitting on the sedan chair like that, it's like Mao Jue molested him.

"Brother Mao! The friendship between gentlemen is like water. Although Qian looks like Pan An and looks like Song Yu, you are too proactive!"

"Brother Qian!"

"I think that I, Qian Mou, have always been clean and self-sufficient, and my body is better than corundum. Now, how can Qian Mou still have the face to hang around in the world?"

"Brother Qian!"

"Qian should throw himself into the river and forget about Mingzhi Festival"

Seeing that this guy was going to say more, several veins popped up on Mao Jue's forehead, and he suddenly raised a finger.

"A mirror! [-] mink furs, [-] boxes of ginseng, [-] boxes of dongzhu, velvet antler, and some medicinal materials. Since Brother Qian wants to show his ambition by death, then Qian can only find another buyer for these goods! "

"so much!"

He really didn't change his true nature as a businessman. Hearing this, Qian Zeng's eyes were as bright as a light bulb, and he stopped pretending to be pitiful. He jumped off the chair, and immediately turned his hands behind his back, turning around twice in excitement.

"By the way, brother Qian has been promoted to Tieshan general, and there are as many products here as you want! This is really true."

"Don't be too happy, it depends on what you bring back to Mao if you don't hand over the things!"

This time it was Mao Jue's turn to ignore him, holding his arms and proudly holding his head up, forcing this self-interested guy to quickly take out the account book from his arms and clasped his fists to please him.

"Isn't this all ready for Brother Mao!"

"Wow!"

Her breathing was a little short, and Su Yi's beautiful big eyes were even a little bit rounded. Holding a brush, she stared intently at the moving boxes, and sometimes even forgot to write and draw on the ledger. It was Su Changmei behind her who coughed softly twice, which made the girl wake up.

No wonder this girl is like this. In this era, no region in the world can surpass Jiangnan in terms of prosperity. Paris, London, Berlin, these later famous metropolises still have a population of only tens of thousands. When it was like a big town, the population of Jinling has surpassed that of Jiangnan. There are hundreds of thousands, and some people even speculate that the population here has exceeded one million. Including the floating population, it reached 200 million at the peak. Not only here, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Changshu, Shaoxing, and a series of areas are all densely populated In addition, the development of population has also brought about a highly developed commodity economy.

Boxes of tea leaves, exquisite porcelain, lacquer boxes reflecting agate-like luster, red leather furniture, and especially silk that makes Su Yi short of breath!The knitting is tight, the pattern is gorgeous, and batches of silk are moved in the hands of those workers, just like the Chinese cabbage they carry for the winter in the north. She has never seen so much silk in her life, and this thing is also in her small In his mind, he quickly made up all kinds of beautiful clothes.

Taking up so much space in the brain's processor, Su Yi's little face was burning red and hot, no wonder she kept being confused.

Qian Zeng knew how to do things, and I don’t know how he created momentum. Anyway, a mirror that cost less than a few taels was fired to a sky-high price of 660 six taels. Here, after unceremoniously accepting more than 6000 taels, he bought 3 taels of goods for Mao Jue, transported them all the way, and brought back more than 6000 taels of cash.

Here, just silk and tea leaves are enough to make Mao Jue two or three times as profitable. As a warlord, in fact, the core strength is silver. With silver, there are soldiers and guns. No wonder Mao Wenlong is willing to go to Iron Mountain himself for this. , to praise Mao Jue specifically.

However, gold, stones, pearls and jade are not enough for food when hungry, and not enough for clothes when you are cold. For those shiny southern goods in front of him, Mao Jue cared more about other inconspicuous things.

"It's all here!"

Leading Mao Jue onto the boat, the young man with a deficiency of kidney also stretched out his finger to the other side nervously.

Now Mao Jue is changing from shotgun to cannon. Tieshan Ginseng General is not just a border guard. It is directly established on the land of the Kingdom of Korea, and it is adjacent to North Korea and Houjin Capital. It can be said that the ginseng ferrets of these two places How much Pi waited for the production capacity of native goods to cross the border depends on Mao Jue coughing.

As for the benefits of ginseng and mink fur from the north, Nurhachi smuggled ironware that the Ming army did not allow out of the customs by relying on this high price, paid a series of high war expenses, and finally armed the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Defeating Daming, the master of Liaodong, and becoming a confidant of Daming can be seen.

The value of these unknown fairy grasses growing in the deep mountains is even more expensive than the same volume of gold in Jiangnan. The enthusiasm of Jiangnan people for ginseng has indirectly become a major boost to the rise of later gold.

So for currying favor with Mao Jue, the money was once more inevitable.

Fortunately, in his eager eyes, Mao Jue's eyes lit up as he boarded the boat.

The sacks were full of corn cobs, and his home was in the north. Mao Jue was too familiar with this scene, so he reached out and took out one. Although it was a bit smaller than the big corn cobs in memory, the grains were not too big. The plump, but white corn grains still exude a faint fragrance.

Not only this thing, but the sweet potato next to it has sprouted. Although the humidity of the sea makes this thing inedible, but this thing is exactly what Mao Jue needs, and each of them is much bigger than the impression Potatoes, bright red tomatoes growing in pots, and many gaudy plants that Mao Jue didn't recognize.

In the age of great voyages, not only the western powers benefited, but China was also one of the huge beneficiaries. Thanks to the high yields of these foreign things, the population of the Qing Empire broke through to the peak of the feudal era, [-] million!

It seems that in order to collect these, Qian Zeng really spent a lot of thought. He pulled out the back gardens of countless rich people in Yangzhou, and put a piece of sweet potato back into the sack with trembling hands. Guy took a bite.

"Brother Qian, you are really, really Mao's lucky star!"

"Hehe, a small gardening item is not worthy of Brother Mao's praise!"

Be good when you get a cheap one, this money used to be typical, crossing his arms, the kid with kidney deficiency once became complacent.However, his words did not exceed the cognition of this era. Tomatoes and peppers were first introduced into China as ornamental plants, and corn was similar. The inner court once planted them in the imperial garden, and took some of them every year as special starch for the imperial use. .

Potatoes are the most unlucky thing among these foreign new things. They were accidentally brought into Daming, and the first thing they came into contact with was the low-latitude coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River. These places are the most unsuitable for growing potatoes, so these round guys received In the cold, it was not until the Qianlong period in history that it was brought to the north by refugees who were wandering around and tried to plant successfully, and it began to become popular.

The only thing that can be mixed well is the sweet potato, which is only planted near Fujian when conservative officials don't pay attention to it.
