Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Manchu originated from the black water of White Mountain, and lived by hunting. After entering the pass, they did not abandon many of their past customs, such as their obsession with furs and furs.

Every year, the Qing emperor would request the garrison outside the pass to have a planned hunt for wild beasts. Later on, the Mongol palace would also join the hunt.

Every year, he had to pay tribute to the Forbidden City for a certain amount of top grade furs. Once there was a certain amount of tribute, the emperor would even specifically reprimand it!

If he had something good to do, then he would do as he said!

The Emperor's and the nobles' preferences directly influenced the government, and the government's influence directly affected the citizens. This led to the Qing Dynasty's appearance of a huge market for trading furs and goods.

In the early days, the main commodity of the trade between the United States and the Kingdom of Qing was not opium at all, but the top grade of the North America's otter skin!

At its peak, the United States exported more than 20,000 pieces of otter skin to the Kingdom of Qing every year. All of the otters in the North America and the Atlantic Ocean were killed for this!

At that time, the sea otter skin that was purchased from the United States for one or two dollars could be sold for a high price as much as $100 in Guangzhou. Such a huge profit made the entire hunting team in North America crazy.

From this, it could be seen that the Qing Dynasty was very popular among the common folk.

Especially those officials, if there were not many good guys to show off in the winter, then they would look down on their subordinates, and the real good guys in Manchu were all like their prey!

No matter how precious, soft, or warm a fox skin was, it was still a woman. A man should have wolf skin, bear skin, or even tiger skin no matter what!

Like the black wolf skin in Li Tuo's hands today, only after six pieces of leather were combined together did it turn into a cloak that went past the knees. When this thing was draped over one's body, no matter how strong the northwest wind was, they could forget about blowing it through.

After all, the Manchu understood some of the old rules of the Eight Banners. As he put on the cloak for Li Tuo, he said, "According to my ancestors, adult male wolf skins are all intelligent …"

"If you lie on the fold and sleep, not being able to rheumatism is just a benefit... "Once the night is dark and people are approaching, you can feel the fur on the wolf's skin standing up!"

"Aiyo!" "How could it be so evil?" Li Tuo was suddenly interested.

"Haha …" "It's all a rule passed down from the old man. To be honest, I've never experienced such a thing. Even my family doesn't have such a good wolf skin …"

Hearing the two masters talking about the wolf skin, he quite liked it. Without saying anything further, he cut off this wolf-skin cloak that was at least four hundred silver from the list. From today onwards, Salonga would not have this good leather goods again!

While they were talking, a bailiff was showing Li Tuo boxes of spoils of war, the one holding the brush knelt down beside Li Tuo and reported his name.

"Jade belt buckle …" One set of nine... "Seawater …"

"Hmm? Hanyu! Hahaha … If Salonga still had the Handjade belt buckle, how could he steal anything … I can see through it with a glance. It's a copy from the end of Ming Dynasty! "

"Ouch …" Lord Li is very knowledgeable, I will change it now … "A set of bright imitating Chinese jade belts …"

"Next, I'll take one of the Pirates' Horn Plum Bottles from all directions …" Seeing that Li Tuo was not interested, the official waved her hand and took the treasures away. Then, she started another set of treasures and displayed them.

"A pair of Silk Twined Golden Phoenix …" Hui Yan Two shark-skin scabbards and two scabbards in Jintukou... "Painting and calligraphy, several …"

's family had let him go down the drain like this, and there were actually quite a few valuable showcases. It could be seen how greedy his father was back then.

Boxes after boxes of calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, exhibits, land accounts... The Opium Ointment s that were hidden in the study room had all been found, even the furniture made of good wood had all been recorded and recorded.

However, what was weird was that, other than the fact that Li Tuo was a little interested in that black cloak at the beginning, he didn't pay attention to anything else.

This made the subordinates unable to guess what kind of treasure Li Tuo was going to steal. Why are there so many people who are able to see through it? Could it be that none of them are interested in it?

However, just as everyone was relaxing, an open box was brought over. Inside were some broken calligraphy and paintings, as well as some fan covers.

"Miscellaneous calligraphy, fan, fan pendant …" "A total of thirty-eight pieces …"

"Wait …" "Fan?" Li Tuo's half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, "Let me have a closer look!"

The scribe had never expected that the dignified messenger would actually have his eyes on these dust covered rags. "These are all trash copied from the storehouse, there's nothing good here …"

"Chatterbox!" I need to talk to you? " Isha glared at him, and personally ran over to bring the box in front of Li Tuo, "Master, please personally clap your hands!"

Li Tuo's hand quickly went through the boxes, searching as if he had a goal, especially the fans.

Only when he reached the bottom of the chest did he pull out a simple and worn-out fan from within a treasure blue colored fan. After opening it, Li Tuo was uncontrollably happy as he slapped his thigh.

The surface of the fan had already turned yellowish. From within the aquatic grass, there were two staring shrimps. The signature of this simple fan was actually the words' big Tang Yin '.

"Aiyo …" Tang Bohu's fan? Sir, you still like this? I, Liu-Li Factory, will return a hundred of them to you! "

"Where is Tang Yin's shrimp going to be able to open his eyes?" "It's obviously fake …"

Li Tuo was not in the mood to waste words with these servants. He returned the fan back into the fan sleeve and then placed it into his personal storage. Then, he glanced at the official holding the brush.

"Fan?" What fan? Did any of you see the fan? "

"Ai …" Yes Yes Yes... "Master said that without a fan …"

With a large stroke, Tang Yin's fan could be considered to have completely disappeared.

Li Tuo found what he was looking for, and was not interested in anything else, instead he asked his subordinates: "Do the groups of people have any news? You still haven't caught Salonga? "

"Sire, casinos, smokestacks, brothels …" He searched through them all, but he really couldn't find any trace of Salonga? How could this guy just fly? "

While they were talking, a collar leading a team of collar ran in hastily, his head full of sweat.

"Reporting to the Lord, this lowly official went to Shaanxi Lane to find Salonga, but in the end, I did not manage to find him. Instead, I received a piece of news … Recently, Salonga caught up with the little Huang Ying from the Tsui Willow Restaurant. This dog and dog duo often go to the grass garden alley to meet privately, there's a little house for Salonga over there! "

"Tsui Willow Restaurant's Huang Ying? The one with the unique name for the song? Didn't they say that they only sell their skills, not their bodies? " A bailiff asked.

"Bullsh * t, those are all for deceiving outsiders, and you're not selling whores? "As long as you have enough money …"

Li Tuo did not care about all this idle chatter "What?" Grass lane? Isn't that just two alleys away from here? This Salonga must have heard the sound of the wind and hid! "

"Bring me that little Huang Ying! "Hurry and catch them …"
