Tanggu Special Economic Zone, after years of painstaking management by Xiao Letian, has now become one of the most important port cities in North China.
The coastline of the Qing Dynasty in this era included Tanggu in the north, Guangdong in the south, and Shanghai in the middle. The maritime trade distribution of the Qing Dynasty was evenly divided. Tanggu Special Zone appeared the latest, but due to its uniqueness, the development momentum of this special zone was also the fastest. Violently.
The reason is simple. The Tanggu Special Administrative Region is a highly autonomous region. In some privileges, it even exceeds the Shanghai Yiren Concession. It has a larger area, gathers more Chinese businessmen, and has more abundant Qing resources that can be mobilized.
Coupled with several Tanggu offensive and defensive battles, the Manchus and Xiao Letian have reached many secret agreements. At this moment, the Tanggu Special Zone has already moved north to Kaiping and Luanzhou, which is a large part of Tangshan in later generations.
The area is large enough, the money is abundant, the resources are there, and the port is very good... Finally, coupled with independent autonomy, this small northern dock has become one of the famous ports in Asia in just a few years.
The prosperity of the people can be reflected in daily life, especially the Spring Festival, which is the most important thing for the Chinese people. For the people of the Special Administrative Region, this is simply the best opportunity to fight for wealth.
Fuhui, the hostess of the Xiao family mansion in the special zone, once accidentally said that she liked to watch fireworks shows the most. This was incredible. The entire Tanggu wealthy business group spent a lot of money to purchase fireworks in the south. During the Spring Festival, Tanggu City completely turned into a firework show. Endless fireworks show.
As soon as it gets dark, the wealthy businessmen who are gearing up begin to occupy the launch site and organize their servants to put on fireworks displays. As soon as your family releases a Kowloon out of the water, his family will release a "Five Blessings". As soon as the East City launches a Nezha Haohai, the West City will release a fireworks display. A great sage is causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace...
The people of the entire special zone were mesmerized to watch. The most skillful fireworks craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty used unpredictable methods that were almost magical to create beautiful pictures with fireworks in the night sky.
The Xiao family's mansion is the Xiao Letian mansion that was expanded on the foundation of Huang Ju's family a long time ago. Fu Hui and the beauties in the Grand View Garden on the show floor in the back garden are very happy to see it.
There are three jars of fine wine next to Fuhui. She will decide which set of fireworks is the most beautiful later, and this fine wine is the reward. Even though the value of fine wine is only a fraction of that of those fireworks, this reputation is huge to everyone. The people of the Prime Minister's eldest wife are now regarded as the Queen of the East Palace. If she can flatter her, even if she spends a lot of money. .
"Oh, look! It's water overflowing the golden mountain... That's White Snake!" The people on the show floor were smiling like flowers, and the sisters in the surrounding Grand View Garden all laughed and clapped their hands.
Fu Hui turned around and looked at the sisters sitting next to her. She looked at the top-quality red or white furs on their bodies and the various precious jewelry on their heads and hands. She shook her head with a smile and thought to herself, " They are all very lucky! Being able to follow Xiao Letian means that they did not suffer so much in vain in their previous lives!"
Fu Hui is right. These sisters in Daguanyuan are no longer maids at this moment. In addition to serving Xiao Letian, they also know the identity of their own maids, and usually they have their own small courtyard to be served by their own maids. To put it bluntly, one She is more delicate than a young lady.
"It's a pity that Qingwen and Heping'er stayed in Ryukyu. If they were here, it would be complete..." After Xiren sighed at the fireworks in the sky, he began to miss his sisters thousands of miles away.
"Come on, they don't want us. I don't know what the master thinks, so they just keep those two little hooves... How much worse are we than them..." It was Jin Chuan who was suffering from soreness, holding his hands. The wine glass inside rattled as he gritted his teeth.
Speaking of the master, a group of women no longer have the fun of celebrating the New Year. This is really not a problem of scarcity but of inequality. If Xiao Letian didn't keep anyone, they probably wouldn't be sour and jealous among themselves, but Xiao Letian stayed after all. two.
Fuhui waved her hand, "It's all my fault. If my skin hadn't been adapted to the humid climate in the south, you wouldn't have followed me back... Just wait until after the New Year. I'll take you to Tanggu on the 15th day of the year..."
"Madam, we didn't...that's not what we meant!" The girls' faces turned red with embarrassment. No one wanted to admit that they missed a man, but everyone felt like Ming Jing, they just wanted a man.
"Madam can't stand the humidity in the south. The doctor said that you can only go to Ryukyu to live in spring and autumn. The humidity and heat in summer are too severe, and the humidity and cold in winter are terrible. Let's stay here with madam... We don't want to go anywhere!"
"Tch...you say you don't want to, but you don't know why you are scratching your heart? Ten days ago, I slept in the same room with you, who got so horny and had an erotic dream in the middle of the night? She screamed so loudly..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Xiao Lang Hoo, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart..."
There was a roar of laughter in the show building. These girls in the inner house have been polluted by Xiao Letian, a deviant. How can they have any sense of ethics? Fu Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she couldn't control it because she knew Xiao Letian liked them like this.
In the midst of the commotion, the stairs creaked, and a figure walked up steadily. It turned out to be Amber. Behind her were three little maids, each holding a large steaming casserole.
"You didn't take care of me much. It's such a cold day, and you didn't put a scarf on my wife... You just know how to be jealous and miss men, and you are shameless..." After a slight sip, Amber stepped forward and took the whole silver fox. The skin was wrapped around Fu Hui's neck, and a little fox with its tail in its mouth protected Fu Hui's neck.
"Madam, I cooked fragrant soybean stewed pig's trotters. This is a famous dish recommended by the master. It is rich in... collagen! The most important thing is skin care. Madam, please drink two more bowls!"
Fuhui patted Amber's hand and said with a smile, "You too, why not just let the big kitchen do it? What else are you doing? It's quite cold and you're exhausted..."
"I'm fine. I'm not good at cooking. If you want to stew, you have to watch the heat and be careful. And the pig's feet must be cleaned, otherwise there will be a peculiar smell... I don't trust them. Come and taste it, madam. How about it!"
As soon as Amber brought a bowl to Fu Hui, the sisters from the Grand View Garden over there laughed and snatched it away, "I want to eat it too. The master said it's for skin care. I also want to look prettier..."
Fireworks kept flickering on and off in the sky, and the women in the show building laughed and fought for each other. It was a lively, prosperous and wealthy scene, but no one noticed that in the light of the fireworks, there was a flash of cruelty on Amber's expression. .
"Amber? Amber...why don't you eat it?"
"Huh? Hmm... Haha, I was fascinated by the fireworks. Give me a bowl..."
