Chapter 27: Journey to Donghua and Returning with a Full Load [Cute Newbies Asking for Recommendations and Collections]

When the foreign ship that Rey was riding docked at Huangpu Port, Huacheng Port, the foreign ships gathered, and merchants and envoys kept coming and going.

In the [-]th century, Donghua silk was famous for its smooth color, lightness and elegance, luxury and elegance. It became a luxury product that the upper class in the West did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase.

However, silk export restrictions imposed by the Qing government made this commodity even more popular in the international market.Western countries believe that all Western countries are "countries not good at weaving", and the nobles have always relied on Donghua's silk market for their "glory in clothing".There are also Cantonese embroidery, Cantonese carvings, Cantonese colors, Cantonese crafts, Cantonese utensils, tea, etc., which are all sold to the West and are very popular.

There are also fans. Since the Middle Ages, fans have been regarded as an indispensable clothing accessory for women in Bailuozhou. Because of their high price, Bailuo palace ladies often use a luxurious and exquisite fan as a way to show off.

Merchant ships from all over the world berth at Huacheng Port every year in May and June, bringing handicrafts, native products and industrial products from other places. The aroma of tea leaves returns with the wind in September and October.

The Westerners who came with the ship would be arranged to study Donghua in the Catholic church in the Thirteenth Bank Commercial Building. After completing the studies, they would report to the emperor so that they could serve in the palace in the future.Before getting the order to go to Beijing, Shisanhang was a place for them to rest and study.

The Shisanhang Mansion, located in the shopping mall area, is a distant counterpart to the Shisanhang (Foreign Bank) merchant house and is a place for foreigners to live.The Shisanhang District is a paradise for arts and crafts manufacturing and a talent base for palace craftsmen.

There are many shops and workshops here, and there are many skilled craftsmen here.The southern Guangdong officials, who shouldered the emperor's mandate, recommended the top talents among them to the palace and became the main force in leading the Qing palace's manufacturing industry.

The Grand Mansion where Rey lives, as well as the business houses of various countries and the Thirteenth Bank Business Hall, are concentrated in the southwest corner of the suburbs of Huacheng, close to the Pearl River, where there is a busy water dock.The mansions in various countries all have the styles of various ethnic groups in their exterior architecture, interior decoration and lifestyle.

This place is like an exposition of world business organizations. It contrasts with the Thirteen Banks Commercial Building, forming a cultural landscape that combines the East and the West.

The foreign trade tradition formed in history gave birth to merchants of the Thirteen Banks with a relatively broad vision and extensive knowledge. They were the first to accept the outside world from the needs of business and the times.Many merchants can communicate with foreign businessmen fluently, and foreign firms also have professionals engaged in foreign language translation.

However, when Rey thought about the terrifying suppression brought about by the "Kyushu Barrier", he had no idea of ​​leaving for the capital. He was even more afraid that because of his handsome appearance, he would be taken into the palace and treated like a monkey, or even disappear into the deep palace compound. .

So while studying in the church, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, pretending to be an idle rich young man and wandering around the business district.

Near Shuzhuyong in the Thirteenth Mansion District, there are rows of wine shops, with boats passing by like crucian carps. Merchants drink and feast here, literati sing and relax here, and fisherwomen hawk seafood here.

The wine flags are fluttering with green poplars, and there is a bright moon and a boat full of people, showing the comfort of leisure and fun.

Early the next morning, Rey was craving for Cantonese refreshments such as boneless chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and siu mai. After wandering around for a while, he didn't find a teahouse selling morning tea, and then he suddenly remembered a terrible fact. ——Cantonese refreshments have not yet been invented.

After walking around for a while, Rey was a little tired, so he sat in the teahouse, had some tea and some Cantonese dim sum.Looking at the thin people downstairs, Lei Yi couldn't help but think of a person - Tong Yuzhu. I wonder if he is there...

As for letting him, Rey, rebel against the Qing Dynasty, Lei Yi felt that if a normal person did not have the Mi Gongtian in mind, he would not do this. It is untenable for him, a foreigner, to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. The leader at the time Qingke is still in the imperial dynasty, and Lei Yi can guarantee that as long as he dares to say it, he will not be able to leave the business district alive.

And there is no light without experiencing darkness. This is the darkness before the rising sun. A great man will light the torch and use a single spark to start a prairie fire... Forget it, no matter what the trouble is, Rey paid the bill and headed towards the bookstore. Walking, learning can make him happy, he must be addicted to learning and cannot extricate himself.

Rey came to this ancient country for many important purposes: first of all, it was knowledge and seeds. Here was the knowledge that Rey urgently needed, including humanities and history, science and technology, agriculture, literature and art, etc., as well as some very important plant seeds.

Secondly, he wanted to "learn" and "inherit" some Taoist Lei Fa. After all, Rey felt that he was destined to Lei Fa. Secondly, it was to resolve the sorrow of lovesickness. Although Rey had a bad time in his previous life, he still had Taoism. The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse. He wants to have a fat house with happy water, hot pot, pork knuckles, etc., but he may never see his hometown again.

Finally, it is to inspect the market to see what is popular in Donghua and what is popular in the West. This is to make plans for future business.

Rey once saw a netizen on the Internet asking if you came to a Western country in the Enlightenment era of the 18th century, which ancient book from your country would you choose?
They are "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Six Tao", "Wei Liao Zi", "Sima Fa", "Taibai Yin Jing", "Tiger Seal Jing", "Jixiao New Book", With these military books such as "Records of Military Training", do you plan to rise up in the military and become the king after killing a lot?
There are also agricultural books such as "Book of Pan Sheng", "Essentials for Qi Min", "Chen Fu's Agricultural Book", "Nongsang Ji Yao", "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book", "Agricultural Policy Complete Book", etc., and plans to keep low-key farming and stabilize the rise of agriculture. The food population pushes the opponent's territory to become the king?

Or medical works such as "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "The Emperor's Internal Classic", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Qianjin Prescriptions", "Emergency Prescriptions for the Back of the Cube", etc., which innovated the killing technique of bloodletting to save people, To establish an immortal monument in curing diseases and saving lives?Or it may be about science and technology such as "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Mengxi Bi Tan", "Mo Jing", etc., intending to climb the technology tree and use technology to crush wealth or conquer the surrounding areas; or "Historical Records", " "Zizhi Tongjian", "Spring and Autumn"...

These Reys can be owned. Although the Qing government strictly prohibited the export of books, the "Eternal Emperor" who led the Qing Dynasty was already old and the access control was lax. Even North Korea, which strictly prohibited the export of books, could unscrupulously do so on its way back from paying tribute to the capital. Buy books.

What's more, in Southern Guangdong, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, coupled with the involution of the business firms caused by the failure of the Thirteen Banks monopoly, so, as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Can't we find a business firm with serious involution?No?This means adding money.If you can't find another one, you won't believe in the small businesses that are not greedy for money.

"We people are really, really happy today..."

Rey had just come out of a small business shop, shook his folding fan, looked like he was shaking his head happily, and sang silently in his heart.

At this store just now, he placed an order for all the book titles and genres that he could remember. The boss in charge was also a smart person. Not only did he take the order, but he also recommended a lot of books to him according to Rey's request. books.Rey accepted all the books according to the order, and only waited a month later for all the books to be collected.

Rey was also very happy about this. After all, he has been an old bookworm on the Internet for more than ten years, and he knows what Internet articles look like.

However, it was these Internet articles that popularized various and even bizarre knowledge to him (including but not limited to industrial iron smelting, historical deeds, beauty gossip, hand-made nuclear bombs, types and parameters of guns, and spacecraft driving). Manuals, etc., there are only things you can’t think of and nothing you can’t see. Internet articles, together with school and Du Niang, are called Lei’s three major sources of knowledge. CNKI? Dogs shook their heads after hearing this).

Most of the names and functions of the books that Rey needed were learned from online articles. After all, they were praised in online articles. Basically, the main character had one book, and at least he was the one who unified the country and founded the country on the History Channel. The presence of the emperor.

But it's a pity that Rey was just a scumbag in his previous life. Basically, he only heard his name and didn't read his books. After all, the online articles are so good!The sad thing is that when books are used, they will be regretted. Rey thought that he might need them in various worlds now and in the future, so he decided to go around half of the world to buy books. It was called a "global trip", and it was around the world, but time They are all recorded in books.

As for various plant seeds, they are even more readily available. For various business houses, as long as they pay money, they have everything.

After placing various orders, Rey had nothing to do but wander around the streets and taste the delicious food, just like a rich kid waiting to die, hiding in the city like a commoner without leaving a trace.

A month later, basically all the books arrived. Although Rey was ripped off and spent 240 taels of gold, some of these books were rare books, and there were enough books for more than 100 different books. Some books are scary when they see their size. Rey's head was so big that he would not be able to finish even a third of the book in the remaining time.

Lei transported all the books back to Hao Jing'ao and rented six literate men who had passed elementary school from the chief for more than half a month and spent 12 taels of gold.

For more than half a month, Rey watched these guys reading in the hotel to prevent them from being distracted, executing 667 Good Life. At night, after they were asleep, he used Legilimency to ingest the memories of their reading during the day, and sealed them. Enter six different crystal balls.

This is a knowledge inheritance ball made by Rey. Because Rey was afraid of forgetting the knowledge and memories of his previous life, after he reached the peak of his alchemy, he made this kind of crystal ball based on the Pensieve. It can seal the memory forever. It is stored in the crystal ball for viewing. As long as the crystal ball does not break, it can be passed down forever.

On this trip, he brought a dozen blank crystal balls just in case (it was originally intended to record the magic inheritance of some sects in the ancient country, but it was stillborn), just to hold these books and knowledge. After all, Thor Roar's storage space is not enough, and it also needs to contain plant seeds, which is also large in quantity.

On August 8, the clerks at the commercial bank finally finished reading the book. Each one of them looked pale and dull, their legs were trembling, and they all lost weight. They left the hotel as if they had escaped from death.

All the plant seeds were collected in mid-August. Rey filled them with Thor's Roar. Together with the knowledge inheritance ball that was already filled with knowledge and memories, Rey was forced to give up even his plan to bring gifts to his father and uncle's family. .

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the sea surface was foggy. Rey sat in the thunder god's roar, which was all ready, hiding more than ten meters under the sea surface, and slowly drove away, arriving at an empty sea area.

Rey drove the Thunder God's Roar to float on the sea, feeling the power that had been fully restored. Rey tried his best to stimulate the electric energy hidden in the surroundings to launch the Thunder God's Roar into the clouds, and then used the energy of the charged clouds to launch the Thunder God's Roar, with lightning all the way. The thunder goes south, and the thunder god roars online again!
