C55 Tenggu Port

The spring of Tongzhi's four years passed quickly, but in the eyes of Sun Tie and the others, Daqing was still the same. Master Eight Flag was the same as Master Eight Flag, making tea in a teahouse, smoking big cigarettes and showing off his skills, while Official on court was still following his past experiences to govern the gigantic Empire. As for the grass citizen people, he struggled in the bitter water to survive. One day was enough for two sounds. As long as he could fill his stomach, that would suffice.

The only change that could be felt was the slow increase in the number of foreign goods in his life. There was no need to talk about the foreign oil, cloth, soap, tobacco, and other daily necessities. There were even wind lamps, mining lamps, crystal ornaments, and even Speargun s that were all sold on the black market.

In the Empire, especially near the wharf, there were more and more suited Chinese goblin and the rest. They would wave their cameras and the children of Wu Tie would immediately scatter.

Daqing continued to follow his path towards the old car stubbornly. However, the power outside the national gate was becoming stronger and stronger, which was especially evident to people, who was in the coastal area.

Especially the Port in the north of the China, who had been the first to open his eyes, he could even more clearly feel the change in this power. In just four short years, the Tanggu Port, which originally had a population of more than ten thousand, had expanded to twice its original size under the infusion of capital from both home and abroad.

There were anchor ships everywhere outside the Port. The large nose Westerners had a weird accent as they walked towards the borders of the Daqing, without any diplomatic formalities. The laborers of the Port constantly moved the goods up and down, while the bullies in the dark corners stared at the people who had just opened their doors. Behind them was a half-hidden brothel, casino, and large smokehouse.

New homes were being built everywhere in the city, and cargo stations traded with foreigners rose up from the ground. Warehouses were filled with goods from overseas, and all kinds of foreign currency floated back and forth in Trader's hands.

The result of the humiliating Beijing treaty was actually an abnormal prosperity, and this prosperity was something that the Manchu couldn't give her. Relying on this kind of abnormal prosperity, a small number of people have already started to profit from it.

This Landlord, who had a thousand tags on him in the local area, had more than a thousand fields and a dozen shops. With the help of the overseas trade, High Scholar Huang could earn more than a hundred thousand a year just by renting and renting land. Yellow Lord's brand was a golden name in Tanggu City.

"I am indebted to Master High Scholar for his kindness. We offer a cup of wine to Yellow Lord with the help of a flower and Buddha …" Everyone in the hotel room raised their glasses and toasted High Scholar Huang.

I, Huang Juren, am able to make a fortune not because of your care. As long as you are able to make a fortune, I will be able to earn some scattered silver flowers! "Come, come, cheers …"

Today, Master High Scholar invited the top ranked Big Merchant from Tanggu, as well as the thugs on the ground. Sitting Tiger had this benefit. Black, White and Gray took all the dishes. Other than the fact that there were no officials and Master Yang, he had already invited all the representatives from the other places.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic started to turn back to normal. High Scholar Huang suddenly looked at the scenery outside the window pitifully, and looked at the endless fleet on the sea and said sorrowfully, "Although we made some money, but look at the Daqing, how is it now? If things went on like this for a long time, the nation would not make it! "Sob, sob, sob …"

Aiyo, as they were talking, Old High Scholar actually started crying? At this moment, everyone present was stunned, thinking to themselves, what program is this? Why didn't I see you crying when you were counting the money, and now I'm actually worried for the court. But no matter what, Master had already started acting. No matter what, Guest had to accompany him in acting.

"Aiya, Yellow Lord is really worried about the nation and the people. He is really our role model …"

"It's a pity that this is the case. Even Emperor has to endure it patiently. We can't do anything about the power of the foreigners …"

"That's right, that's right. Even now, I still have some lingering fear from the cannon battle that happened four years ago with the Da Gu Kou. We better not give the court any trouble …"

Sun Tie couldn't come up with an idea at the same time. In the end, Huang Juren coldly snorted, "Foreigner? Of course, I know how powerful the foreigners are, but compared to the hatred of the foreigners, the traitorous two evil spirits is even more despicable. "Four years ago, Gong Banlun plus the current Xiao Letian were all shameless people who have forgotten their ancestors …"

High Scholar Huang knocked on the window, pointing at a cargo station that was in the process of being renovated not far away, "Do you know who opened that newly built cargo station?"

This time, everyone understood Yellow Lord's motive for setting the wine. Huang Juren, who was usually stingy with only half a catty of wine, was actually willing to set a banquet in Coastal building. It seemed like she was planning to do something bad behind the scenes.

"It's Xiao Letian, that arrogant Alone overseas …" When Huang Juren saw how slow this group of trash's messages were, she was so angry that she almost couldn't contain her anger.

The moment Xiao Letian's name left his mouth, the room buzzed with whispers. Everyone was whispering to each other. Tianjin was just too close to Beijing. People could hear the story of Xiao Letian.

"Oh my god!" The author of "Journey to the West", Xiao Letian? My son is going crazy over his books... "

"It's not like that. Haven't you discovered it recently?" Even mister, the book storyteller in the teahouse, had started to adapt the segments of the Journey to the West.

"Do you know? Xiao Letian is the person Prince Kung values the most, it is said that he was once offered the position of vice minister of work department, he doesn't even want to take it … "

Everyone at the table was discussing Xiao Letian's legend. High Scholar Huang's face was about to turn green. At this point, he was relying on his henchmen to keep up appearances.

"Ai ai ai!" What do you mean? You didn't take Yellow Lord's words to heart! Playing dumb? "I, Xiao Biansun, am saying this. Whoever disagrees with my family's Yellow Lord, don't say that I'm not being courteous …" Xiao Biansun, who just spoke, stood up and stepped on the chair with one foot.

Xiao Biansun was a famous gangster in Tanggu City, Eldest Brother. According to Wu Tie, he also had the identity of the 'Head of the Guards', but no one had heard of him. But no matter what, Xiao Biansun's words were definitely true among the lower class Tanggu. None of the businessmen present were willing to offend him.

"Hahaha, Sun Yat-sen, what are you saying? We have been good friends for many years, so of course we have to share the same heart as Zhou Tie." cow-keeper of the Four Seas Freight Station was the richest and wealthiest Trader. When he saw that something was wrong, he quickly tried to smooth things over. Immediately after, the group of blind Trader also nodded and bowed in agreement.

Wu Tie curled his lips and laughed, "We are all good citizens of the court, we naturally have to help the court solve its problem. We don't have the ability to deal with foreigners, and the court isn't counting on us. But against all of these two evil spirits, we cannot lose face for Daqing! "

"Today, let me put it this way. This Xiao Letian dared to come to the Tanggu to do business, so I will make him lose all his Pants and get the hell out of here …"

Everyone present was dumbfounded by his words. Now, Xiao Letian was no longer Alone overseas with no foundation. He was just a code name. Unparalleled National Scholars, whose name could shake the entire capital and capital and would soon become famous, was not someone this group of Trader could afford to offend.

"Huang …" Lord Huang, we understand the logic behind your words, but that Xiao Le Tian isn't an ordinary person. Can we even touch him now? Even the tyrant of the northern lands, Xiang Shaolong, was unable to do anything to him. Even Wang Shishi, Old Han Lin, was no match for him. Shopkeeper Niu gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He was truly afraid.

The other people present, including Xiao Biansun, were also dumbfounded. They thought that High Scholar Huang wanted to deal with the average Trader. It wasn't as if they had never done this before. However, when facing the extremely famous Master of Western Studies, everyone present was afraid.

Huang Juren looked at them with disdain, and then quietly gulped down a cup of wine, "Those here are my good friends from many years. Don't worry, I won't let you do something that you aren't confident in. I'll tell you guys the truth. Without the approval of the higher-ups, do you think I'll make a move? "

After saying that, he waved his hand and the surrounding people all gathered around him. After whispering in each other's ears, everyone's eyes widened.

"Yellow Lord, is what you said true?" Was it really that Wu Steel thing in the capital that was going to deal with Xiao Letian? Emperor and Empress Mother were also tired of Xiao Letian? "Why is it different from what's known in the world …"

"What do you know? For a group of people without a name like Trader, only we, book reader, have the qualifications to investigate the inside information of a real court. Do you remember two months ago, the Prime Minister sent to observe the matter of the Team being surrounded and petitioned by people? "

High Scholar Huang proudly looked at the group of retarded businessmen and said, "To tell you the truth, I was the one who instigated all these civilians. Not only did I, Zhou Tong, and even Mai Tai have to contribute." "Think about it, if it wasn't for the protection of some important person, how would I dare to surround and attack the Guijiao Third Master Qing?"

At this time, the people in the private room were already stunned. They looked at High Scholar Huang and stars appeared in their eyes, he was indeed the leader of the four people in the industry and industry, even with High Scholar's status, he was still able to communicate with the high ranking officials of the court.

The group of people were muttering among themselves for a long time, after that, cow-keeper brought up wineglass on behalf of everyone, "Since Yellow Lord already has the confidence, then we, the group of sellers, do not have anything to say. As long as we do not commit murder or arson, we will leave the business run to us. We have plenty of ways to destroy him …"

"Alright, let's toast!" The alliance against Xiao Letian was established in this goblet of wine.

Coincidentally, on the second day after the feast, Xiao Letian arrived at Tanggu with the protection of over ten guards. His own business was about to open, how could he not personally come? This was not just an ordinary Oceanic, it was also an important link between Xiao Letian and the other Country. As a Traveller, how could he not be concerned with the world?

"Hm!" What was that smell? "F * ck, is this a dog ignoring a bun? Give me two catties …"

"Oh, mister, why did you dismount here? old shopkeeper has already arranged the banquet, Master Yang also wants to meet with you … "Hey hey hey, you've really eaten …"

Xiao Letian couldn't care less about meeting foreigners at this time. He had never expected that Xian Feng's new breed of dog would open a branch in the Tanggu in just a few years. It was a delicacy from two hundred years ago, an absolute green, natural, and pollution-free delicacy.

Xiao Letian's mouth was stuffed with food as he mumbled, "Come on, come on..." "There's no need to be polite, I'll treat you …"
