After August 15th, Zhao Xin and his party were ready to leave south.
Although more than a dozen people who traveled through time wanted to go to "my Qing Dynasty" to see the scene of the "prosperous era of Qianlong", some people had to stay and look after the family. Ding Guofeng originally wanted to carry forward his style and stay, but Zhao Xin asked him to go. Not only him, but Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, and Wu Siyu are also going.
This trip to the south is not to enjoy the flowers and the moon, but to do some important things. For this reason, Lu Shoushan and Pan Xiucheng also wanted to follow. In addition, there was another person who was promoted from the labor camp.
"Xu Dayong, I heard that you want to work with us?" Lu Shoushan looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Brother Lu, I really want to follow you guys!" Xu Dayong bowed and looked like he was swearing to God.
"I think you want to get a salary of five taels of silver per month, right?"
"this……"
"Tell the truth!" Lu Shoushan's eyes widened and he slammed the table. Xu Dayong was frightened and fell to his knees on the ground.
By the way, Lu Shoushan is no longer the honest and humble person he used to be. Since Zhao Xin taught him the book "Criminal Interrogation and Confessions", Lu Shoushan felt like he had found a treasure, and he studied it all night and night; and then he confirmed it on the prisoners during the day. As time passed, he developed an aura of calm and authority without speaking during interrogation. Due to the deep hatred between Lu Shoushan and the Manchus, the prisoners of the Qing soldiers in the labor camp were most afraid of him; even Li Dagang, a second-class guard, was a little scared when he met Lu Shoushan.
"Brother Lu, to be honest, I, I just want to follow all the good guys and make a living."
When Xu Dayong and other captured pirates were brought back to Beihai Town, they were surprised to find that there were still hundreds of Qing prisoners locked up here! After asking about it, I found out that this group of sea heroes with unknown origins actually defeated the army of the imperial officials and killed an imperial envoy.
Good guy! Who are these people? ! At this time, Xu Dayong was extremely glad that he had chosen to surrender. It seemed that in the eyes of others, these little thieves were just bugs that could be crushed to death at any time.
So from then on, Xu Dayong worked extremely hard and was soon promoted to captain of the pickled fish team; from a labor camp worker to a labor camp supervisor. Moreover, this guy often reported privately to Lu Shoushan and reported on the movements of people in the prisoner camp. After many times, Zhao Xin also noticed this former "big boss".
Zhao Xin then told Lu Shoushan: "This man's name is 'Dayong', and his parents are really good at naming names. We need him this time when we go south. You can talk to him. If there is no problem, then Take him with you when we go south next time."
It is said that in the main mission of this trip south, it is inconvenient for modern people like Zhao Xin to show up on the street because of their height. If you get carried away and take off the fake braids on your head, you will be in big trouble! Therefore, Lu Shoushan, Pan Xiucheng and Xu Dayong were responsible for inquiring about information and looking for clues in the market.
The people left behind in Beihai Town are Zhao Liang, Chen Qingsong, Zhang Bo and Hong Tao.
That's right, Liu Siting will also follow. It is said that Director Liu Da most wants to go to Daqing to watch it. There are so many braided dramas that we can’t watch in vain. Considering that after this mission, the target needed to be comforted, having such a beautiful woman would probably be a lot safer, so everyone agreed.
Zhao Xin's only request to Director Liu was that he should never show his face unless necessary; this was a taboo for women in the Qing Dynasty.
The day we set out was a good day, the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month. Liu Sheng, Deng Fei and others set off on the Thor, accompanied by a company of soldiers on board. Zhao Xin took a different path. He first returned to the ice-free port in another time and space.
The first reason is that there is not enough tobacco in stock in Beihai Town, and Zhao Xin needs to place an order for another batch. It is said that everything in Beihai Town is good, but it is not suitable for growing tobacco.
The second reason was that Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and ordered five more RX9620s. There is no other way. Chen Qingsong’s plan is to cultivate a thousand hectares of land before winter. It won't be until the spring of next year that the two mechanical monsters will not be able to complete the sowing plan no matter what. The manufacturer said on the phone that the delivery date for these five pieces of equipment would be February next year. Zhao Xin agreed as soon as he calculated that the time was about the same. More than 30 million yuan was spent at once, and Zhao Xin's liver trembled as he spent the money.
In addition, he also wants to buy another large container ship to transfer the refugees from the Qing Dynasty. It seems that he will not be able to return to China this time without releasing a few Jun porcelain antiques. Now, in order to save money, his transactions with Andrew and Daniel are all done in gold.
After Zhao Xin returned to China, he found his second-generation rich friend and asked him to let the news out that he was selling antique porcelain. After waiting for a week, a certain real estate tycoon and several experts met at Zhao Xin's home. This time Zhao Xin took out three large pieces of Jun porcelain. After some bargaining, he got the amount he wanted. Of course, payment is still done through offshore accounts.
After getting the money, Zhao Xin entrusted the brokerage company where he bought the ship last time to help him find another second-hand freighter. This time, he directly raised the tonnage requirement to more than 20,000 tons. Moreover, after buying the freighter, it still needs to be modified. At the very least, all the box guide posts on the main deck must be removed. By then Liu Sheng, Deng Fei and others will have to come over to participate in the renovation construction.
Finally, he went to a machinery factory in Shandong and ordered several metal stamping machines, a CNC machine tool and a dozen sets of tools that Zhao Liang wanted.
After finishing all this, Zhao Xin came to the largest small commodity wholesale market in the south. After shopping around all day, I finally bought twenty sets of fake braids for filming. After buying it, he felt that the fake braid was too fake and looked like a yin-yang head in a Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts movie. So he paid the store to modify the fake braids, based on the photo of the back of the head of the great master Li Dagang.
…
On the second day of September in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, the Thunder God finally arrived at Flower and Bird Island.
Shen Jingdan and Huang Fatty have been waiting here for three days. They arrived at Chongming Island seven days ago. The 8,000 boxes of cigarettes purchased last time have been sold out in Shanghai and Yangzhou; in addition to these two places, businessmen from Nanjing and Suzhou also went to Shanghai to ask when the goods would be available.
Shen and Huang were both happy and sad. The happy thing is that the cigarette market is so good; the sad thing is that if Zhao Xin and others don't come on time, Shanghai and Yangzhou will be out of stock.
This time the Thor brought fifteen thousand boxes of cigarettes. What is different from last time is that this time the outer boxes of cigarettes are stamped with the trademark using hot stamping paper.
"Tianxiang?"
Shen Jingdan looked at the gilded characters on the wooden lid and couldn't help but admire it.
"This is great! Some literati called cigarettes 'Heavenly Fragrance' before. I wonder whose calligraphy this is?"
Liu Sheng couldn't say that this was a font carved with a silicone mold, so he made it up and said it was written by Chen Qingsong. This surprised Shen and Huang. They didn't expect that the middle-aged man who led a group of refugees to open up wasteland and build houses all day long could have such good calligraphy.
(Chen Qingsong, who was in Beihai Town, sneezed several times, and then he quickly found a pack of cold medicine and drank it.)
After more than 10,000 boxes of cigarettes and fur goods were moved to the sand boat, Shen and Huang hurriedly sailed away. He and Liu Sheng agreed to meet here again in three days. At that time, he would bring the prepared Qing people and clothes here.
The next morning, Liu Sheng drove an assault boat to Flower and Bird Island.
Today is the day he and Zhao Xin agreed to meet. At about ten o'clock, Zhao Xin flashed out from behind a wooden house on the island, holding a big bag in his hand.
Liu Sheng waited for him to approach and asked curiously: "What are you holding?"
"Glue for braids and wigs." Zhao Xin held up the bag and shook it.
"You really bought it."
"It took Yoyo'er two days to finish this crappy thing. When will Shen Jingdan come?"
"We're already here. He and Fatty Huang took the cigarettes away and said they would pick us up in three days. I said, Boss Shen, I guess you will have to call people 'father-in-law' from now on, right? Why do you still call people by their first names?" ?”
"Let's talk about it then. We haven't even decided on her horoscope yet. Shen Xuan is only fifteen this year."
"So what's the matter? Didn't you say that all girls nowadays get married at this age?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Go back quickly and let everyone start shaving."
