Chapter 221 Getting better

Zhu Youjian definitely didn't know about this wave of idealistic manipulation.

But as the Qing army implemented these idealistic operations, Zhu Youjian ran into difficulties.

This is exactly what Dorgon and others thought.

If possible, he really planned to repeat the previous slave-building operation in Ningyuan, cut off the retreat, besiege the isolated city, constantly harass with cannons, and light fires in the city from time to time.

Although it is unlikely that there will be an uprising army in the Qing Dynasty that can approach the capital, the Black Flag Navy can cooperate with the Ming army in Shandong to launch an attack on Tianjin during the siege.

If the Ming army, as the main force, works hard enough by then, it will only be a matter of time before Ningyuan, an isolated city outside the pass, is captured.

But not anymore.

The total strength of the three garrison guards behind Ningyuan City and the strength stationed at Shanhaiguan is nearly 100,000.

If he kills those who are surrounded, he will be Zhengheiqi.

There are many heavy artillery in Ningyuan City. If they attack the artillery by force, the Black Flag Artillery Battalion will probably be destroyed by the Manchu red cannons.

"This is a deposit, we will settle it together when we get to the place."

That’s white sugar!

It is something that only the noble and rich deserve to have on their dining tables!

"If you bring too much money, you'll be in trouble. You can use the money to go to the prince. The prince has it."

"Money, I'm not talking about buying a horse, but you also have to find a car, right? Haizhou is so far away from Nanjing."

"Okay, you go first, I'll take care of the unloading and come back when I have time."

The 12-pound red cannon that Obai pulled out before was fine, and it would be fine if the firepower was suppressed.

The old man reached out to grab it. Pei Wu slapped off the chicken feet and took out the broken silver he had blackmailed from Jiao Boqing.

"I want to go to Nanjing. Could you please tell me where to get off?"

"How about you hire me for this car? It has new oil this year! At night, close the window and you can sleep in it. The villain and his apprentice can make a nest outside the car! Old man, my home is outside the city. My home is

There is also a donkey, if you pull both of them together, you will definitely not miss your business!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands to the passenger behind the car and said, "I'm sorry."

"Hey, sir, you are coming across the sea from the north, right? This month, I have given gifts to many people from the north. The price is twenty taels of silver!"

Why don’t you sell this!?

Businessmen are buying like crazy!

White sugar is great.

This is the main reason why this place has become so lively, with the rise of civil engineering and prosperous commerce.

Amidst the curses of the old coach driver, Pei Wu also understood why this small town was so crowded.

As soon as he took a breath, there were shouts from the side.

The security of the sugar factory is worse than that of the palace. The employees are all recruited from the relatives of the Tang Prince's family before the Nanyang fiefdom. By the way, they also take care of the low-level clans of the Ming Dynasty who have no way to survive, and recruit them to grow sugar cane.

Well, it's not as sweet as Pei Wu imagined.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze?"

When he entered the Haizhou market, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Pei Wu grabbed the money and stuffed it into his arms: "It's enough to find a car. You are also a celebrity around His Majesty. You don't get gifts for doing the job of chief minister. Is this all you carry with you?"

Directly harvest the wealth of the middle and upper classes.

Zhu Yujian saw things more comprehensively than the missionaries.

"What is this for?"

"Let's talk after we go! Let's go!"

High production has lowered the market price, causing sugar to gradually enter the low-end market. At the same time, the huge price difference has affected the nerves of countless people.

After getting in the car, we soon left the crowded small town of Haizhou.

The missionaries were frantically trying to get their hands on the technology inside the sugar factory.

Then.

"It's done!"

White sugar.

It was mixed with cow and horse manure and all kinds of messy odors.

But Dorgon brought in several 18-pound cannons. This kind of heavy artillery, which is the pinnacle of the world, must be respected.

The sweet air of Ming Dynasty.

Just as he was looking back, a hand reached in front of Jiao Boqing.

White sugar is good.

How long has it been? Because of the squeeze of white sugar, the prices of street candy products and desserts in cities around Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty have dropped a lot, and the types have also increased rapidly.

When the old man heard this, he immediately stretched his neck and slapped the young apprentice beside him who was holding hands: "Go and ask someone to take over!"

Jiao Boqing was speechless. He could only fumble around twice and took out two strings of copper coins and several small silver ingots.

Putting on a crimson variegated plate-collared robe, wearing a net scarf and a crown, Jiao Boqing couldn't hide the emotion on his face. He looked at Pei Wu, who was also dressed in Han style, watching the busy people coming and going at the pier.

He looked lost in thought and couldn't help but pat him on the back.

"Yo!"

Then he got off the car and approached Pei Wu.

It is also the main export commodity here.

It makes some people's eyes turn red.

"Come on, you can just be a Chinese official. I have to go find the prince."

"The car is nice, what's the price?"

Not long ago, His Majesty the Emperor opened Haizhou as a foreign trade port, and it was also the second legal official foreign port in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty ordered me to accompany the team to Nanjing, so I came here. I was in a hurry and I only took the guy with me and forgot the money. You are in charge of tribute and trade affairs, so naturally I have to ask you for it. If it doesn't work, I will ask Deyan for it.

also."

A covered donkey cart was parked not far away, and the old man driving the cart was holding his hand towards Pei Wu.

"I haven't seen anything like this in two years. I almost didn't recognize you when I changed clothes before. I'm used to seeing you with that ferocious look on your face."

"Hey, hey! Whatever the officer says is what it is! Please get in the car, officer!"

"I wrote a letter to Lin Qingye, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy. I thanked him for supporting Jinzhou with his navy generals. Although it was a step late due to the vast sea, Jinzhou still has Ningyuan City, which still needs the help of the generals.

Here I attach the previous strategy for entering Tianjin, and finally attach a gift, fifty gold, one thousand silver, ten ginseng branches, and a tiger fur coat. Ningyuan will wait until the spring planting."

Pei Wu turned around after handing over his hand, stepped off the boat, and quickly left the dock.

Originally, Haizhou was the center for maritime smuggling and trade east of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese smuggling ships came one after another, and the Zheng family could not stop them.

"Hey, you haven't?"

However, Zhu Yujian, who had been in prison for half his life, was really poor. Compared with him, the big landowner Chongzhen was not poor at all.

"That's all I have with me. It's not enough for us to go back and get it."

Nanjing has also rapidly become a large sugar consumer, and the development of sugar-related industries is almost endless.

The foreign businessmen and even missionaries in Nanjing were going crazy.

"Just fifteen taels."

Pei Wu raised his eyebrows, reached into his arms and took out a delicate silver ingot.

It's just that the private port has become a regular one.

"Guanren? Guanren, do you want a car?"

And due to its geographical location, it can basically only face North Korea and Japan. The Zheng family is also involved, so the chain of interests is not involved much.

Jiao Boqing sneered: "Who isn't?"

But that's okay.

If you take this technology back, all your wealth will be cursed.

Pei Wu held the handle of his knife and leaned over to take a look at the old man's donkey cart. Seeing Pei Wu get out of the cart, the passengers in the car followed the old man's apprentice's guidance and waited for another donkey cart to approach.

To harvest the wealth of the upper class, as long as you bear a little reputation for ruining agriculture and mulberry trees, you will gain public governance and money. You can also develop a chain of industrial chain interests through sugar and win over a group of courtiers.

"It's getting better."

After leaving Haizhou City, there was a lot of traffic outside, people were shouting and screaming, and a large number of buildings were being built outside the city. It seemed that many people wanted to take advantage of this new seaport.

The old man driving the carriage heard Pei Wu murmuring behind him, and he smiled and replied casually: "Thanks to your Majesty's kindness, we are doing pretty well here."
