After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather becomes colder every day.

Before all the few peaceful women were in place, Qidian and Feilu's life plans had their own conclusions.

Feilu will continue to be a long-lasting follower next to Zhao Liang. To be honest, Zhao Liang is really inseparable from a caring person now.

Qidian hopes to "go out" and make a breakthrough!

"Okay, men are determined to go out and have a walk, it is good to have more knowledge and experience in the market, and it is also good to have more experience." Zhao Liang was not surprised by Qidian's choice.

After Tajidian organized the Songhelou semicolon in Jinan alone, his desire to "make achievements" became obvious.

"Then let's go to Lingnan."

Zhao Liang spread out a map of southern China, "You are responsible for going south this time."

First, the starting point is to set up a point in Guangzhou, "to find a few foreign companies with high debts, pick out trustworthy people, lend them money to overcome difficulties, and ask them to take us to do business."

If Zhao Liang said something, ordinary people would be afraid of laughing to death when they heard it. How could the Thirteen-ranking company, known as "Jinshan Zhuhai, Emperor Nanku" owe others money?

But this is true. Although Thirteen Industry is a violent monopoly industry, who knows the hardships in it?

They do make a lot of money and have great responsibilities.

Not to mention the Qing court's money that the Qing court made to them again and again, nor to mention the corruption of Guangdong Customs, they said that in addition to doing their own business, they were also responsible for collecting taxes from foreign merchants to the Qing court; in addition, they also had to bear the responsibility for the debts arrears of foreigners, which is "business owes".

The 13th Federation was responsible for collecting tax banks for the Qing government, providing guarantees for foreign merchants, and taking the blame for foreign merchants.

Moreover, they are monopolistic business operations. Do businessmen pursue profit first? They often cannot control themselves. Many people do business with the belief that "less profit is loss". In order to enter more foreign trade fields and expand their operations, foreign companies with limited capital do not hesitate to take risks and reach loan agreements with foreign merchants in private. Once business problems arise, they will be forced to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, borrow more loans to repay the debt, and eventually end up insolvent.

Perhaps the Thirteen Lines have not yet ended up in such miserable circumstances, after all, it has been less than twenty years. But Zhao Liang believes that there will never be a foreign company that borrowed a large amount of foreign debt in that place.

They are the goal!

Then find someone.

"Those who know foreign literature and those who know foreign affairs can find a few people." Guangzhou is the only foreign trade port in the Qing Dynasty, and there is definitely no shortage of such people in the city. As long as you are willing to pay, you can definitely find it.

"And here, Macau."

It is a gathering place for Portuguese people, but there are not many Chinese in the local area. It should not be difficult to find a few people who know foreign literature and the news about the foreign world, or even some foreign history.

As long as you are willing to pay for it!

"There is also the one who goes to Fujian, Yunxiao Fumin Hall. Go and find a man named Zhu Bin. Ask him if he is willing to follow the Zhao family!"

During the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Liang could not remember a few people in maritime affairs, but Zhu Bin was definitely ranked first among those limited people. Because they did not take the pirate route at the beginning, they were doing business.

From forming a commercial transport fleet at sea to small and medium-sized boat merchants, fishermen, helmsman, and ship workers who have a history of commercial transport in the riverside area, raise funds to build ships independently, and develop their own shipping teams.

This is a very normal and has a business mind and organizational ability.

From the beginning, it mainly dealt with agricultural and sideline products such as grain, to the later addition of silk cloth, ceramics, indigo, sugar tea, salt fish, etc., this is definitely a conflict with the Qing Dynasty's ban on sea bans, but then again, what is explicitly prohibited by the law is huge profits!

While fighting wits and courage with the government, Zhu Bin can expand his business scope from Yunxiao to Mawei (Fuzhou) in Fujian, Tong'an, Nan'ao (Military Port) in eastern Guangdong, Chenghai, Ningbo, Taizhou, Lugang, Danshui, etc., and set up shipyards in Yunxiao and set up accounting management personnel in Aowu ports such as Gulei in Zhangpu. This business ability is simply full of scores.

In Zhao Liang's view, the reason why Zhu Bin was defiled by the Qing court was just because it touched the interests of local officials and gentry. In addition, the problem of tax evasion may be more serious and triggered a group effect. This was why he was named.

Because according to the Qing Dynasty's sea ban regulations, whether it is silk, cloth, tea or grain, it is prohibited to go to sea.

Silk, tea and cloth can still be sold in Guangzhou - taxes are required, but the Qing court controlled the food strictly, and even crew members are not allowed to take too much food. Each ship can only be based on the population and the round-trip period, and each person is rated as one liter of rice per day.

Trafficking agricultural and sideline products like Zhu Bin is definitely a nail in the eyes of the government.

As for Zhu Bin's fleet later growing stronger, attracting many poor people in the coastal coast who have no way to make a living and small boaters (businessmen) who are unable to defend themselves, boatmen and other boatmen joining one after another. This is normal.

Under such a difficult situation, Zhu Bin was able to engage in semi-public activities in the southeast coastal areas, and even had good friends with many Qing soldiers, such as Nanao Island, which is the headquarters of Nanao Town. This method and this IQ really allowed Cai Qian, Zheng Yisao, Zhang Baozai to leave ten streets.

So Zhao Liang believed that Zhu Bin would definitely find his fatal shortcomings - he lacked nothing, but an official hat that could shelter him from the wind and rain on the face of the official.

And isn’t Heshen’s hat behind Zhao Liang big enough?

"If this person is as great as the old man said, he will not refuse!" Qidian clapped and shouted after hearing Zhu Bin's life.

Zhu Feng was less than thirty years old at this time, and his power and influence had definitely not reached the peak in history. Zhao Liang didn't know how much he developed, but he just described it with a tight momentum, but that was already very extraordinary.

Qidian had only one thought in his mind at this time, this is a talent, a great talent!

"I hope this is the case. You do your best!"

Zhu Bin occupies a very important position in Zhao Liang's future development plan, but if he really doesn't come, then without the Butcher Zhang, would Zhao Liang still have to eat a pig with hair?

joke.

The difference is just to postpone Zhao Liang's sea trade plan for a few years.

"I will pay you 100,000 taels of silver this time." Such a large sum of silver almost drained all the money on the Zhao family.

"My uncle and father are escorting the car and bringing the silver to the south with you." However, Zhao Liang's uncle is only responsible for escorting the silver, and he ignores everything else.
