Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Does old shopkeeper have any plans in the future?" Xu Zhanbiao asked.

"Plans? Sigh … "I've brought my nephew out to do some business. I've heard that the roads to the southern border are sealed, but the northern border has accumulated a large amount of Xinjiang jade …"

"To change the tea bricks from the Central Plains to the materials from the Hami … It's not just a hundred times the profit, it's a thousand times the profit! "

"Greed …" "He's too greedy. He thought that if he could win this gamble, the Stellar Gorge would be robbed by the rebel army …"

Xu Zhanbiao laughed coldly, "Of course it's a windfall to be rich in war, but old shopkeeper, have you never thought about the dangers?"

"I have!" I've really thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be this serious … "Actually, this old man has already calculated the amount of money needed for all the bribes along the way!"

"It's impossible to not use the money to open up a path in a lucrative business … Along the way, basically all the posts were bought with money! "

"General, don't blame me …" No wonder... "We've already been detained by the rebel army for two years. Two years ago, the general's army still hasn't arrived. It's all because of the rebels and the local garrison, so it has nothing to do with General Hu Ben …"

"Actually, for us business people, using money to bribe to ensure a smooth business is not a big deal. We consider the amount of bribed money more in the cost account!"

"Ten thousand taels of silver for a jade stone. Along the way, the cost of people eating horses is one thousand taels. Then, there is the cost of five thousand taels of silver …" Then the price for this batch of jade stones should be 16,000 gold taels! "

"In the future, I will have to calculate according to this cost!"

"We merchants have spent our money. Along the way, there are some escort masters and sentries protecting our safety. This is actually a kind of business! This has been going on for thousands of years, but it's actually pretty smooth … "

"But I never thought that Yaqub's side would be so different!"

"Officials from other places, as well as soldiers, would all take money to help others get rid of their troubles. As long as you give them money, they would actually be very polite …" Because they're still looking forward to you coming back next year to do business, and they'll still have a bribe to take! "

"But this group of rebel soldiers are simply a bunch of ignorant people who don't hold back their hands …" No bribes, no amount... They want to steal all your wealth and then capture you as a slave! "

"Cough, cough, cough …" "Cough, cough, cough …" The angry old shopkeeper coughed violently. He pointed to a young nephew and said, "Cao Shuai … "Tell me, can you help me reply to the general's words …"

The young nephew named Cao Shuai seemed to have read this book. After clasping his hands and bowing, he said in an orderly manner, "General …" Marshal Zuo will win this battle, and it will be a wild victory! "

"Yaqub seems to have great power, but he has long been depleted of his strength!"

Xu Zhanbiao looked at the thin young man's shining eyes with interest. "Oh! "Tell me about it..."

"Yes, my lord!" In this battle, Yaqub lost because he was going against the rules. When I was back home, I had read the Chief's《 Journey to the West》 and knew a bit about European affairs … "

"Yaqub and the rest of the thugs were under the rule of terror … Their goal is to turn all the people in the territory into slaves! "

"That's right, they are slaves … This is the fall of civilization! Uncle just said that even if the people of Central Plains are corrupt officials, they are reasonable. At the very least, he said corrupt officials! "

"Take your bribe and I'll give you a job! Especially for merchants, a steady stream of bribes is much more important than killing a chicken to reap its eggs! "

"We know that there are rivers and rivers that do not do things! They didn't say that they had eaten the merchants to death, but they did say that they had eaten it all! "Even officials have to calculate how much money these merchants can earn …"

"Let the merchants protect the basic profits before thinking of a way to corrupt them!"

"This is a way of doing business. What is important is to develop in the long term …" "Greedy officials accept money, but they also do things. Businessmen send bribes, but they can indeed do business …"

"Is everyone happy? Didn't we get the economy up? "

"But what about the Western Regions? These rebel soldiers didn't have this kind of awareness at all … in their minds is actually very simple, just a little bit... To restore slavery! "

"Since the caravan is here, I will snatch the goods and capture everyone to be slaves …" It's that simple. They just don't understand that the value created by these people moving bricks and building walls is different from the value created by caravans! "

"Reversal …" is the regression of civilization... "All these years, the people of Xinjiang have understood this point, because the real life has changed, becoming more and more difficult to survive …"

"As long as we call in right now and give them hope... "We can win if we restore the civilization of the past!"

"Take a look at the general's rations. A batch of beef can buy the Stellar Gorge. It can be seen how hungry they are …"

A talent! Xu Zhanbiao immediately had a crush on the talented girl. Not bad, not bad, you brat! "

"Since you're analyzing it so well, then I'll give you a mission. Do you dare to do it?"

"Why would I not dare? I've already broken through the gates of hell, what else wouldn't I dare to do!"

"Good!" You can enter my staff to calculate the supplies … And then I will give you another heavy responsibility, and that is to do business with the army! "

"How are we going to sell our spoils of war in the Central Plains with the highest value? What kind of goods are transferred into Xinjiang to steal people's hearts and earn money …" You can do this for me! "

"Let me see what you're capable of …" Later on, I will contact the nephew of the manager of the God of Wealth, Master Fan Lian. You can discuss business matters with him! "

"The more you earn, the higher I'll praise you! Being rich is a small matter. If I contribute too much, I can still guarantee that you'll become an official … If you don't want to be an official, I still have a way to send you to Ryukyu to study and go to university! "

"How so?" "This doesn't have a big future, do you dare to take a gamble …"

Cao Jiuling was so excited that his face turned red. He kicked Cao Shuo's knees, causing the young man to immediately kneel down. "Hurry up and repay the kindness!"

Cao Shuo raised his head and said loudly, "Thank you, General. As long as you can allow my business road to pass through the Hexi Corridor …" "I can help the general earn a million silver from the Light Jade Stone Trading Company …"

"This one asks for nothing else but to earn money for the general. This one pleads that the general send me to Ryukyu to study and attend school …"

"Enough …" "Let's do it this way. From today onwards, you will enter my story. If you get familiar with it for just a few days, go and earn money for laozi!"

Cao Shuai, this young man, had truly met a turning point in his life. After that, he spent three years to help Xu Zhanbiao's Shu Army earn more than five million.

His caravan relied on the cheapness of the war and became the King Jade Family of Great Qing, monopolizing the jade trading business of Northern China.

In the end, Cao Shuo didn't inherit such a big deal and went to the Ryukyu to study and cultivate. He majored in geology and the history of the Western Regions, and in the end, became the right-hand man of King Shang Tai.

What was even more bizarre was that the paper he had written when he was in school about the war had actually come into the Fiihrer's eyes and given him important instructions.

"The rebellion of Yaqub in Xinjiang was destined to failure from the very beginning …" Xiao Letian criticized on the title page of his thesis.

"Because from beginning to end, this rebellion has been a civilization retreat... Yaqub doesn't even know how to build a true nation! "
