Li Wang rushed to the door quickly and bowed and said, "Young Master, He Shutai is here.??w·a?n?"

"Please come in." Yi Zhizu casually ordered. As soon as May, He Shutai rushed to Xiguan. The silk reeling machine he was looking forward to arrived. He would come to him every now and then to find out the news. I think today I heard that an American merchant ship has arrived.

Seeing Li Wang turning around and leaving, he ordered again: "You go to Xuehaitang Academy in Yuexiushan and go and invite Ma Yinglong."

Li Wang left quickly, Jin Ying pretended to be strange and smiled and said, "You are here, it's time for me to make tea."

Yi Zhizu shook his head speechlessly. This girl is used to being wild and can't sit still. She really doesn't know what Yi Zhenren thought, so she actually put her next to her. Fortunately, although she is playful, she doesn't cause trouble for him, and he is happy to let it go.

He Shutai walked quickly and said as soon as he entered the door: "I heard that a Citi merchant ship arrived at Huangpu Port today."

"Sit." Yi Zhizu reached out and let him sit, then waved his folding fan and said, "Zi'an's news is very informative. An American merchant ship has indeed come. However, it is not our ship, and there is no silk reeling machine." Although he had never seen an American merchant ship entering the port, it was definitely not the ship of the three merchants, Qichangxing, Olyphin and Weitmore, otherwise someone would have informed him long ago.c

He Shutai couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It was already May. They had already stocked up a lot of silkworm cocoons in Shunde, but the silk reeling machine was not delayed. How could he have no hurry?

Yi Zhizu was actually anxious. He still didn't know whether the wire reeling machine would be shipped by the United States or by France. He didn't know how many wire reeling machines could be shipped, but he had already arranged it and could be copied immediately as soon as the wire reeling machine arrived.

However, the risk of maritime navigation is high these days, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the ocean-going merchant ships. Once the merchant ship transporting the silk reeling machine has an accident, their losses this year will not be small.

Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He shook the folding fan and said in a relaxed tone: "Zi'an, don't be anxious. At most, the machine will arrive in another month. What we plan to arrive in June, right?"

This was true, He Shutai felt relieved and said, "It makes the shopkeeper laugh."

"I reminded you that the steam engine needs to be equipped with a large chimney." Yi Zhizu said: "Are the chimney craftsmen and all the materials ready?"

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper. "He Shutai hurriedly said, "Everything is ready. Just wait for the machine and the Western craftsmen to arrive."

Yi Zhizuji said: "The court does not allow foreigners to leave Xiguan at will. You should manage the officials in Shunde well in order to prevent other issues."

He Shutai didn't think about this: He hurriedly said, "I'll bring the letter back to Shunde, so that they can make proper arrangements."

The next morning, Yi Zhizuo carried the three suggestions for smuggling of crows and films written by Ma Yinglong overnight to alleviate the outflow of silver. He hurried into the city and rushed to the governor's office on Huiai Street. Yiliang did not urge him. The problem was that he was anxious. One more month, a large number of machinery and equipment he ordered from American merchants would arrive in Guangzhou, and in addition, Yuanqi Yixue also needed to expand the scale openly.

The Governor's Office was rebuilt from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion in the early Qing Dynasty. It covers a vast area and is of great scale, not inferior to the Governor's Mansion. Yi Zhizu threw a famous sect in the doorman and presented a door bag - ten taels of silver bills. This is the rule. According to the size of the yamen, the weight of the door bag is clear. Ordinary subordinate officials dare not offend these officials of the party government easily, such as Yi Zhizu, who is half-official and half-business. Then they cannot offend them.

To his surprise, Mingtao sent it in, and then came out of a door of about thirty. Seeing him wearing casual clothes, he hurriedly bowed with a smile, "I have seen the shopkeeper Yi Da." After a moment of salvation, he continued, "Master Zhongcheng has given instructions. If the shopkeeper Yi Da comes, there is no need to inform him. If you come, you will enter as soon as possible. This will happen in the future." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Please ask for the shopkeeper Yi Da."

It seems that the governor is still very good at winning people's hearts. Yi Zhizu smiled and followed the door into the official hall. After a while, the door came to lead him to the signing room. After entering the yard, he looked up and saw Yiliang greeting him with a smile. The door who led the way was startled. He really didn't expect that his own master would treat Yi Zhizu so politely.

Seeing Yiliang come out, Yi Zhizu quickly took a few steps and prepared to meet him with a big gift. Yiliang didn't give him a chance at all. He stepped forward to hold him up and smiled and said, "Talk, don't be outside." As he said that, he held his hand into the room.

When the two of them sat down, Yiliang said in a relaxed tone: "Since I was leaving the place, I have always wanted to find a master who is proficient in economy, but I have never been able to do it. I am content with Western learning and good at economics. I am the most suitable candidate. Unfortunately, since I am a businessman and a great shopkeeper in Yuanqi, I have long been in the imperial heart, and my future is unlimited."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Please be a master. I dare not ask for anything now. However, when you need consultation or decision-making, I hope to be content and not shirk responsibility. I can do my best to help you. As the governor's department, I can enter and exit freely."

After hearing this, Yi Zhizu realized it. No wonder he was so kind to treat him. It turned out that he was asked to be a free master. However, this request could not be shirkable. For Yiliang, a small fourth-ranked Shangshang and Yuanqi shopkeeper, wouldn’t he come and go when he was summoned? This is just a little more magnificent, how dare he not be ignorant?

He quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Zhongcheng is so kind, I should obey your order." As he said that, he took out three suggestions he had written and submitted them, and said, "This was drafted last night, please read it."

Yiliang took it and looked carefully, pondered for a moment before saying, "Myanmar, the place at the junction of Annan and Yunnan, can good eclips really produce?"

Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "The scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scatter

"Carefulness can estimate how much profit can be in a year?"

"Ezhe is a huge profit." Yi Zhizu said: "In the Indian place of origin of eclipse, the cost of a box of eclipse is only twenty taels of silver, the selling price in the local market is 180 taels, and the difference is 500 taels of silver sold to Guangzhou. How many times is the difference? Twenty-five times! How many eclipse is imported into Guangzhou in a year? Nearly forty thousand boxes! The profit is more than 16 million taels of silver."
