Chapter 36 Arriving in Guangzhou, the pier suddenly changes
"Boom, boom, boom..." The steam train was walking on the track with a buzzing sound. The violent shaking made Jiang Li regret it. Riding on this thing would be better than riding on a carriage.
When I originally watched the movie, I felt very strange when I saw this scene, but now I just feel like my stomach is churning.
Going to Guangzhou today, Jiang Li, Huang Feihong, Thirteenth Aunt, Liang Kuan and others took the train. After all, at this time, this guy was the only one who could run faster. As for Bao Zhilin's things
, it was transported on a boat belonging to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, followed by Ah Fu, and it left last night.
Thinking about it, by the time they got there, the merchant ship would have arrived.
"Master, I want to vomit." Liang Kuan sat next to Huang Feihong, covering his mouth with a look of pain on his face.
"Mitu." Yaca Su also looked uncomfortable.
"Ahem...bear with it." Huang Feihong sat in his seat, raised his body slightly, and said with a normal expression.
Jiang Li glanced at him, then glanced down, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry. He said why Huang Feihong was so calm, it turned out that he was jumping on horseback.
Also, when doing Zamabu, the person and the train are integrated into one, and the shaking frequency is the same, so it will naturally not be so uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Jiang Li also imitated Huang Feihong, raised his body slightly, supported it with his legs, and undulated his body slightly. It was indeed much better.
Fortunately, they are all wearing long robes now, so people can't tell if they are covered by their clothes.
Mo Shaoyun glanced at the two of them helplessly, slightly speechless.
Fortunately, Guangzhou and Foshan are not too far apart. After most of the day, the train finally stopped.
"Ah Kuan, remember, never take this car again." Huang Feihong, holding a box in his hand, told Liang Kuan and walked off quickly.
After pouting, Aunt Thirteen followed.
"President." As soon as he got out of the car, a tall and slender man trotted over.
He is an errand boy in the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
"Well, Feihong, let's go to the dock first and get everything down first." Jiang Li looked at Huang Feihong and said.
"Okay." Huang Feihong nodded in agreement. He has already made preparations for moving to Baozhilin this time. The place has been rented. He just needs to wait for all the belongings to be collected before he can open the restaurant.
"Send us to the dock." Jiang Li turned around and said.
"Yes, President, the carriage is over here." The tall and thin man led Jiang Li and others to a carriage.
"A Kuan, A Su, you take Thirteenth Aunt back to Baozhilin and clean the house first, and A Li and I will go to the dock." Huang Feihong said to the three of them, and got on the carriage with Jiang Li.
"Okay." Liang Kuan and Yacasu happily agreed after hearing that they no longer had to move things.
"Hey, Ah Kuan, let's go to Baozhilin first, and then I'll take you to see a relative of mine who is doing big business in Guangzhou." Yacasu said to Liang Kuan as he watched the carriage go away.
After such a long time, although Yacasu still stutters when speaking, it is much better than before.
"Asu, do you have relatives in the provincial capital?" Mo Shaoyun looked at Yacasu curiously and asked.
"That's it." Yachasu said with his head raised, looking at Liang Kuan who looked unbelieving next to him, his shoulders shrank, "That's my cousin, we met in the United States before."
"It turns out it was my cousin who did it..." Liang Kuan smiled disdainfully, carrying the box and walking away with Aunt Thirteen.
"Oh, my cousin is also my cousin." Yaca Su looked at the two people's backs and explained forcefully.
"Wait for me."
…
Thirteenth Aunt and the other three Huibao Zhilin, Jiang Li and Huang Feihong arrived at a dock of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
"Compared with Foshan, Guangzhou is indeed very prosperous." Huang Feihong opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the lively scenes on both sides of the road, and said with a smile.
"It's not bad. This is a provincial capital after all. You won't know what prosperity means until you go to the capital." Jiang Li said funny.
The two people got off the carriage and saw workers walking around carrying packages or boxes on the dock. In the distance, a huge steamboat slowly floated over from the horizon. On the steamer, there was a flag that read the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Flying in the wind.
"Master..." Among the workers coming and going, there were some who were members of the militia, and they would greet Huang Feihong when he passed by.
"It seems that they are doing quite well here." Huang Feihong looked at the workers coming and going, with a touch of relief on his face.
The people in the militia have now been arranged by Jiang Li, and the rest are waiting. In fact, as long as they make money and can maintain their lives, they will be very satisfied.
"It seems we have to wait a while, let's go sit for a while first." Jiang Li pointed to the pergola on the pier and said to Huang Feihong.
"Hey, Ali, those people don't seem to be from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce." Huang Feihong pointed to a group of people on the other side and said.
Those people were obviously dressed differently from the militiamen, and they carried the boxes onto another foreign steamer.
"It should be rented by other merchants. The docks in Guangzhou are basically owned by the four major chambers of commerce. If other merchants want to transport goods, they have to rent from the docks of the four major chambers of commerce. Otherwise, they can only take the land route.
." Jiang Li explained.
The four major chambers of commerce have huge influence in Guangdong and are involved in almost all industries. Especially the docks, which are hugely profitable places that control transportation, are completely divided up by the four major chambers of commerce. Those ordinary chambers of commerce can only eat some.
For leftovers, rent has to be paid to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Behind the scenes, I don’t know how many trading houses secretly cursed the four major chambers of commerce as vampires.
Jiang Li doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. He's just a businessman. Businessmen pursue profits. What's wrong with that?
If it had been someone else, it might have been even more extreme than what he did.
At this time, two helpers carried a box and walked past the two of them.
"Oh..."
As soon as Jiang Li turned around, his mind suddenly jumped, and he suddenly heard an inaudible breathing sound in his ears.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Li frowned and called to the two helpers in front.
"Who are you?" The two men turned their heads and glanced at Jiang Li and Huang Feihong. They found that they didn't recognize them and said in a bad tone.
Jiang Li ignored the two people's attitudes and walked to the box, frowning, and his mind power penetrated into the box silently.
In an instant, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of Jiang Li's heart.
"Which chamber of commerce are you from?" Jiang Li said in a cold voice with a cold face.
"Ali, what's going on?" Huang Feihong also felt that something was wrong, so he walked up and asked.
"Go away, who are you?" The two men tensed up, picked up the box and wanted to leave.
"Stop." Jiang Li shouted and waved to the workers around him. Suddenly, dozens of people who were watching the show came up and surrounded the two people, staring at them fiercely.
"Gudong..." The hands of the two men softened and they immediately collapsed on the ground. The box in their hands fell to the ground with a bang, and a faint groan of pain came from inside.
The voice was so low that even Huang Feihong didn't hear it, but it definitely couldn't be hidden from Jiang Li, who had the power of telepathy.
"You, go and call the person in charge at the dock." Jiang Li suddenly turned around and shouted to the tall and thin man who brought them over.
"Yes." The tall and thin man trotted out quickly.
"Oh, make way, make way." At this time, a rich middle-aged man wearing silk clothes squeezed in from the crowd.
"This young master, I, Qian Mingye, is the president of the Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of our chamber of commerce. I don't know if I have offended the young master in any way. Please forgive me. Forgive me. I am here to help you. If you have anything to say,
, I have something to say." The rich middle-aged man nodded and bowed to Jiang Li and Huang Feihong, sweating profusely on his face.
"Qian Mingye, right?" Jiang Li looked at him sternly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, yes." Qian Mingye nodded quickly.
"Do you know the consequences of selling women in the Qing Dynasty?" Jiang Li looked at him and said in a cold tone.
"What?" Huang Feihong raised his head fiercely, gritted his teeth, and looked angry. He strode to the box, grabbed one side with his hands, and lifted it hard, directly knocking off the baffle on the box.
Inside was lying an unconscious woman with scars all over her body, disheveled clothes.
"Wow..." In an instant, everyone around here glared at Qian Mingye, especially those from the militia, who could hardly help but take action.
"It's over, it's over..." Qian Mingye's legs weakened and he collapsed directly on the ground, his eyes were lifeless and his face was ashen.
Being caught with evidence in front of everyone, he could already imagine his fate.
