In the second year of Zhu Jinglun’s intention, the second princess Eva also gave birth to a child, a daughter named Ning Xia.
The names of the two children together condense Huaxia one.
"Men should be like this!"
Baigui casually said.
Zhu Jinglun said, "Isn’t it true that my daughter is clever or unruly? When they are together, they fight."
Bai Gui, ha ha, it’s hard to talk with a smile. What can I say? If it were two emperors, it would be lively. Now it’s time to fight for a position in the future, but it’s nothing if it’s a man and a woman.
At this time, Baigui’s footsteps are a little staggered. After all, he is a teenager, and the soil is buried in his neck. A little walk will make him tired.
Zhu Jinglun said, "The boss is tired."
Baigui wry smile way "than at the beginning"
Zhu Jinglun nodded. "I’ll send someone to take the boss to rest. Will you stay with me or do adults have other plans?"
Baigui bowed down and said, "How dare foreign ministers stay at the palace or stay at the embassy?"
The Qing Dynasty also had a consulate in Guangzhou, which was not established for a long time 176 years, that is, two years ago, after the Qing government negotiated with Britain about the Yantai Treaty and settled the Majiali case, it sent Guo Songtao to England to apologize and set up consulates at the same time. Immediately after the next year, it set up consulates in Daiwa and Paris, respectively. The consul in Ceng Jize was Zeng Guofan, and two letters from Zeng Guofan were transmitted through Japan.
Zhu Jinglun sighed, "The embassy is humble and the adults are old. I might as well live in the governor’s office when I get to a good place. It’s nostalgic and convenient to talk about things."
Bai Gui leng leng, he worked in Guangdong for many years, and lived in the governor’s government. He lived here when he was governor, and where did he live after he became governor? Because the governor’s house was blown to ruins by the British and French Coalition forces at that time.
He didn’t listen to Zhu Jinglun’s tone. He sighed and really wanted to go to nostalgia. I don’t know what it has become now.
"So it’s good pleasure."
Zhu Jinglun immediately called for Bai Gui to be sent to the governor’s yamen to explain the way carefully. Adults are too old and weak to withstand bumps.
Bai Gui once again felt that the officialdom was ushered in and sent to be the truth, but seeing Zhu Jinglun’s nostalgia could not help feeling that the other party was also an emperor.
When he arrived at the governor’s yamen, he felt even more deeply that the change here was not a big yamen. The door was still the same old door, but the plaque was changed to save three Chinese characters.
There have been some big changes in it. In the past, there were several gardens in pavilions, but now there are many big buildings. I hate that I can’t build houses for every inch of land, but every room is very ordinary. The windows are blue bricks, big tiles, wooden doors, wooden doors and windows with glass. It looks familiar as if I have seen them in the capital, but it seems that I don’t know where I have seen them.
An official in Shang Province saw Baigui and explained that the glass was very colorful.
"It’s still important for Chen’s adult to practise frugality. All the old houses are old furniture, but this glass is a rare thing. In that year, some craftsmen in the Northern Expedition went south with their hearts, but these glasses were burned by those craftsmen. They came here to help them build a kiln and bought many glass mirrors to install in this window. Now this is fashionable in Guangzhou, and the rich people are not in the window stickers."
Bai Gui said how familiar it is. The raw materials are made by craftsmen in the government office, but the glassware burned by the government is mostly some utensils, but I didn’t think about laying it in the window. It’s really broken
The thought of Baigui, the office of the government, made my heart jam. When the army entered Beijing, it took all the pearls and Baoyu, and even people robbed the palace ladies and eunuchs. When the Queen Mother of the two palaces returned to the palace, she was really a family and wiped her tears.
But the country is so powerful, who can resist seeing the great monarch and his subjects so simple now? I’m afraid this country will flourish for a long time.
And Qing?
The more Baigui thinks about it, the more blocked he is. He regrets coming here.
"Take the old man to have a rest. It’s really tiring."
He urged the collectors to promise to lead the way in front, which was very polite.
Section six hundred and twenty-three There are profiteers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
It’s really convenient to live in Shang province. Da Shang ordered Chen Zhiting to send someone to invite you the next morning.
After the meeting, Chen Zhiting first reported several news to Bai Gui.
"I, Julian Waghann, have gone to Kening State House, Guangdezhou, and separately to Wuhu and Chizhou State, and the enemy in Zhejiang has decided to return to the wind. Now Natu!"
Bai Gui was quite surprised that yesterday he came to the former army to capture the three houses in southern Zhejiang and fight Huizhou, and it didn’t take long for the situation to change like this after a day.
How hard it is for those long hairs to beat him, but it is clear that Zeng Guofan repeatedly lamented that he had never met such an enemy. The first world war in Anqing and Tianjing was not a mountain of dead people, and those long hairs were still charging.
Why do they bow to the wind as soon as the army goes?
"Is the news true?"
Bai Gui’s first reaction is not to believe that it is impossible to hit so many places in one day unless the army is really determined. It seems that the surrender of the other horse is not so fast. Can you still take the initiative to meet the surrender?
Chen Zhiting laughed. "The boss is overrated."
Chen Zhiting had already become a small official when Baigui was there, so he was once in Baigui’s account.
Bai Gui sighed, "It’s incredible."
"It’s just the general trend."
Chen Zhiting said that he was relaxed and calm, but his heart was surging. He never thought it would be so smooth.
I thought it would not be too much for the Taiping heavenly kingdom sovereign to corrupt and attack them long ago, but I didn’t expect them to degenerate so quickly, which made them even more surprised that those businessmen were even more than the army
The development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in recent years finally gives people a very awkward feeling. It can be said that the economy is quite deformed. If you say that the economic situation is not good, it is not that tea and silk are both hot commodities, and the handicraft industry is also quite developed. After all, where the foundation is too good, craftsmen have to eat, and where people are particularly ingenious, let alone embroidered by embroidered women in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is well received by the general public.
But when it comes to the economy, the people are too poor, except for a group of expensive ones, that is, some profiteers are rich, which is hard to say. Nine times out of ten, those profiteers actually go from big to big
After many wars in the south of the Yangtze River, the rich were either killed or fled. Later, Li Xiucheng’s Bissouf Province encouraged business, but was it so easy for business to develop? A group of farmers yesterday went to work as freight forwarders today, and most of the things would have to pay for their deaths. In Li Xiucheng, there were only some small traders who were responsible for the burden, and that was only when the big businessmen went later.
Chen Zhiting knows those businessmen well, but he has been very resistant to them all these years, because what those businessmen do is really unacceptable. It can be said that 90% of the opium in the prince’s cigarette houses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are big businessmen, and many of them are still smuggled.
It’s just a matter of selling opium. It’s the worst behavior for those businessmen to collude with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to search for people’s money and paste in the local area.
In the later period of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiu abused the title of king as many as 3,000 princes, but every character must be a prince. If there is no king in every county, it is really embarrassing.
Coincidentally, most of the figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came from Guangdong and Guangxi, and Hong Xiu’s family were all from Huaxian County, Guangdong Province. At present, the largest group of princes in the DPRK are Cantonese, while those who rely on military service as princes are mostly Guangxi people.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a sovereign from the beginning to the end, and the sovereign is from Guangdong and Guangxi. Most of these sovereign are illiterate and do not know how to operate, which gives the businessmen of Guangdong and Guangxi a big fuck. If they don’t play collusion between officials and businessmen, it is simply a wave of Jiangnan and a rich place. These businessmen can’t even get rich.
Big businessmen brought all kinds of tight luxuries to these princes, earned a lot of money, and colluded with these princes to manipulate the local market, speculate on prices, usury and exploitation. Anyway, in Chen Zhiting’s view, it was a bad thing.
These merchants are already hateful, but the most hateful group of people is also the most vicious group of people who collect money. These people are relatives from the hometown of the princes of Guangdong and Guangxi. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gained a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and became close to them, these relatives went to the princes to help them lend usury, casinos and cigarette shops, but they colluded with big businessmen to do these evil things when they were unable.
The most hateful thing is that there are still few people who rob people in local areas and sell coolies for small money and attack them too hard, but it is too common to take Jiangnan women captive and sell them.
The great emperor hated human trafficking very much. Before he ascended the throne, he gave imperial examinations to the lowly population, such as petty officials, and abolished the lowly system in fact. Officials released their servants in their homes within a time limit, and the Ministry supervised the collection of articles such as the deed of sale. However, it was impossible for big families to leave their servants, so the employment system took the place of the emperor to set an example. The servants in the palace were the first to sign contracts to get wages and help.
Later, when the coolie trade was cracked down, this opportunity was taken to promulgate a strict servant ban to prohibit the sale of human beings, and declared that all prostitution articles would be abolished immediately, encouraging large families to employ helpers, but in law, these helpers are long-term workers rather than lowlifes.
Therefore, it is illegal to sell the population in the south of the Yangtze River to a large place in the law, but it is impossible to help but benefit. The promotion of women in the south of the Yangtze River is the standard of beauty in this era. Yangzhou thin horse is a hot commodity in the eyes of big families all over the country.
Only Yangzhou has a lean horse system, which is common in the whole south of the Yangtze River, but Yangzhou is the loudest brand. These people can’t die, but it’s easier to find those who rely on girls in the war. They will look at their faces and look at an old girl. They can judge what they will look like in the future by looking at their faces and touching their bones.
With this craft, these women resumed their business after the Taiping rebels occupied the south of the Yangtze River. They continued to raise thin horses with the local people. When they grew up, these girls were trained to read and write, and when they grew up, they could be excellent in literature and poetry, and they also knew some real things, such as accounting. These are to cultivate and understand housekeeping as a skill according to concubines.
Such a thin horse is not tempted by any man with some money.
Therefore, these thin horses have become the largest part of the human trade.
Big businessmen bring these thin horses or other people back to the dark and sell them at high prices for profiteering, but it is difficult to monitor, because many people bring girls back as their own dry daughters or simply concubines, and then rich people take concubines to buy dry daughters and marry concubines directly, and they can remarry after a paper break. There are almost no loopholes in legal procedures.
In recent years, with the development of the big economy, new industrial and commercial models have emerged, and social changes have also meant that social wealth has been reshuffled, and a large number of people have dared to break out first. These people are not in the elite of the old times, and they may not have any culture to show their status. It is a good way to show off their wealth. Even if they get rich, they are often very low-key because they are worried about exposing their wealth and inviting disasters.
The root of these fears is that they don’t care about buying and selling thin horses. The main force is that many of them buy one, which is not enough. Some people buy a group of thin horses that can play the piano and sing songs in their own homes to form a troupe for themselves and their friends to amuse themselves.
In the big country, it is still a big convergence. The profiteers sold the population of the south of the Yangtze River to the Qing Dynasty. It was simply a scruple. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty did not prohibit these. They even sold young and strong labor, but anyone who committed something was arrested in prison and would soon be sold to the Qing Dynasty site by the boss in collusion with the profiteers.
