Chapter 872 Jinling (for L5?? Alliance leader congratulations!)
On the Lanshui River.
A passenger ship travels down the river.
Zhong Shenxiu is wearing a white suit, has a short cut haircut, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looks like a foreign student who has returned from studying abroad.
Next to her, Qin Weiyin was dressed like a maid, following her young master step by step.
"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is really good."
Zhong Shenxiu stood on the deck, looking at the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters on both sides of the river, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Although this scene is beautiful, the world is full of suffering."
At this moment, a progressive young man walked over.
He had a shiny slicked back hair and wore a black suit and tie. This was the most fashionable look at the moment.
At this time, he continued the previous sentence: "Since the opening of trade routes, foreign goods, foreign cloth, and foreign rice have poured in in large quantities, and the prices are very low. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are miserable. I don't know how many weavers have gone bankrupt as a result, and farmers have sold their sons and daughters... ...But in the end, they all enriched the ten-mile foreign market... Nowadays, all people of insight should unite, join in the Westernization, set up factories, and resist the invasion of European and Western commerce!"
"Brother, you are very insightful. My name is Fang Lang, and I admire your views very much."
Zhong Shenxiu looked moved.
There are many young people in this era who are messed up just because they have the same ambition.
Probably seeing his dress, this person thought he was a progressive young man and thought they had something in common.
"I'm Hu Wei. I have a new character. I've met Brother Fang!"
Hu Wei clasped his fists and asked, "Brother Fang, where are you going?"
"I heard that Jinling is a great city in the world. It is the most prosperous and prosperous place. There are hundreds of miles of Qinhuai, where there are dogs and horses, and there are ten miles of foreign markets. Most of them are new things from Europe and the West. It is also the capital of the world. I want to go shopping. Chang gain knowledge."
Zhong Shenxiu said leisurely.
Hu Wei suddenly felt that he had seen the wrong person.
Seeing Zhong Shenxiu's improvement in dressing up, he thought he was open-minded, but unexpectedly, he was only thinking about this bit of romance!
'Sigh... As expected, there are very few people who can see three hundred years like my teacher. For those who are not gay, we have to lure them. ’
Hu Wei changed the topic and started talking about setting up a factory and making profits tenfold or a hundredfold, hoping to arouse Zhong Shenxiu's interest.
"It is great to set up a factory, but it is not easy... For example, in the land of Jinling, although the transportation is convenient, gangs are rampant, and in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a lot of association. The workers, factories, three religions and nine streams, all have their own professions. Businesses... are all within the other party's sphere of influence, and there is no such thing as a powerful relationship. Even a business wizard will inevitably be blackmailed and exploited, making it difficult to display his talents. What's worse, he will directly put people into your factory, and eventually the magpie's nest will be taken over. …”
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head.
The so-called associations are dark and evil forces. Although they have been severely cracked down, they always exist.
In this world, these gangs often join forces with heretical warlocks, possessing one or two weird and unparalleled spells, which makes them even more difficult to deal with.
"Brother Fang hit the nail on the head."
Hu Wei sighed: "I have an elder who invested hundreds of thousands to build a spinning mill in Jinling. He originally made a lot of money every day, but later he offended the 'Tai Sui Society', went bankrupt, and was even called for debts by banks. , in the end I can only die..."
"Tai Sui Society?"
Zhong Shenxiu became interested. The name of this club seemed quite impressive.
If we interpret it literally, it may mean "standing in Tai Sui", so it is natural for the gang to choose this name.
But after thinking about it for a moment, among the "Earth Lineage" who worshiped "Xuanjun", there is a type of demon called Tai Sui!
This kind of monster looks like a huge white meat ball, and some even have multiple eyes and tentacles. They like to hide underground. Whenever the earth's atmosphere changes, they will emerge from the ground to eat people!
‘Therefore, if this Tai Sui Society has the help of heretical monks, the method must be biased towards the earth lineage... flesh and blood magic? Well, there are also zombies... The corpse path is also Xuanjun's domain...'
This is the benefit of reading more books.
The leaders of the Tai Sui Society and the people behind the scenes would never have imagined that with just a name, they would reveal all their secrets.
'However... the mysterious knowledge in this world represents danger... so few people know so much and have such a wide range of knowledge...'
"Yes, this company dominates the labor industry in Jinling, and also extends its hands into the skin and meat business, secretly plundering and trafficking people, it can be said that it does all kinds of evil!"
Hu Weiyi said indignantly: "The leader of this society has always been hidden. Under him are the left and right guardians, the altar masters of the four directions, and the eight flag envoys... The official members of the society are tens of thousands, and their tentacles are spread all over Jinling and surrounding villages and towns..."
"I see. Brother Hu knows this club very well, right?"
Zhong Shenxiu cupped his hands and said, "I admire you!"
"No, my father has been serving in the court, but I just listened to him a little more..."
Hu Wei looked slightly pleased.
At this time, there were cheers from the passenger ship, and it turned out that the dock was in front of it.
Jinling City has arrived!
…
Jinling was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and was the most prosperous and lively place.
"Master, where are you going?"
Qin Weiyin followed Zhong Shenxiu with a suitcase in one hand and a parasol in the other.
She has a kind of Xiaojiabiyu temperament that makes me feel pity for her. I don’t know how many men watched this scene gnashing their teeth secretly.
"Don't rush to stay now, let's walk around!"
Zhong Shenxiu raised his glasses and saw that it was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the river, making it sparkling, as if there was a golden dragon swimming under the river.
Jinling was the imperial capital. Later, envoys from the west came to pay homage to the emperor. Emperor Xing of Zhou Dynasty was overjoyed and granted a land of ten miles to the Western envoys to build an embassy, and allowed them to sell goods and make a living. He also returned a batch of ink pens and gave Tax exemption and extraterritoriality.
As everyone knows, it is easy to give such benefits and power, but it is very troublesome to take them back.
Nowadays, foreigners rely on the advantages of the ten-mile foreign market to set up business on a large scale, and it is like a country within a country.
"I heard that Baili Qinhuai is very beautiful at night... Don't you want to take a look, young master? It is said that there are all kinds of birds, thin rings, fat rings, and Thai and Western horses on the boat..."
Qin Weiyin said softly.
"Master, how can I be such an impatient person?" Zhong Shenxiu said seriously: "Then go and have a look."
"Why!"
Qin Weiyin timidly agreed and followed Zhong Shenxiu to Qinhuai.
The road surface has been poured with asphalt, the streets are empty of pedestrians, and there are only a few customers in the shops on both sides.
Dudu!
Dudu!
Suddenly, a time-telling siren sounded.
The factory door opened with a bang, and countless people poured out. Most of them were male and female workers who had been busy for a day. They all seemed to have been hollowed out, their faces were pale, and they moved forward like zombies.
The gray, black, and blue waves immediately submerged the master and the servant...
