The drizzle has been drizzling non-stop, since the beginning of summer, it seems that it has not been sunny for a few days, and it is rainy every day, and Yi Zhizhi is bored and sits in the study and reads a booklet, which Lin Da'an just sent - "Yuan Dao Jue World Training" written by Hong Huoxiu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There is always one family in the world, and all mortals are brothers. Why? Since the human body, each has the surname of his parents, which seems to be divided between this territory and the other world, and all surnames have the same surname, and one surname has the same ancestor, and their origins are not different. If it is a human soul, how can its souls come from it? Where did it come from? All the emperors and gods are born with the spirit of one yuan, and the so-called one is scattered. ”

What is all this about? After reading the first paragraph, Yi Zhishu frowned, to be honest, he was quite disgusted with the worship of God, and Hong Huoxiu's religious belief that the only true God God is not allowed to worship all idols gave him the feeling that it was like a cult.

After patiently reading this "Yuan Dao Jue World Training", he threw it on the desk casually, and said to himself, "This guy has gone crazy." ”

"Who is the big shopkeeper talking about?" Lin Meilian poked her head out of the door and said with a light smile: "Go crazy..... Is it Taoist? ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly and said: "It's raining these days, it's rare to be idle, why can't you be idle, come to listen to the corner?" ”

"Who listens to the corner." Lin Meilian feigned a sentence before saying, "It's Huang Gongzi who is here." ”

Hearing that Huang Dianyuan was coming, Yi Zhizhi nodded and said, "Bring him over, and by the way, let someone send a good wine, ask for spirits, and a few plates of peanuts, broad beans and other wines." "Huang Dianyuan came to Guangzhou, he brought a letter to him from Qiongzhou, one was to connect Wu Shaorong, and the other was that he also had something to entrust.

Before the wine came, Huang Dianyuan, who was dressed in a light gray robe, walked in briskly, and said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper is here, but there are still good things?" ”

"There are so many good things." Yi Zhicontent returned the salute and said, "Have you negotiated with the Wu family?" ”

Huang Dianyuan nodded and said, "This matter is a little incomprehensible, such a good thing, how could Yuan Qi stay out of it?" ”

"Yuan Qi is definitely going to intervene, but he doesn't pan for gold." Yi Zhizu stretched out his hand to give up his seat as he spoke, "Didn't I tell Brother Yourong before that Yuanqi would send a fleet to California to trade, what's the matter, isn't your heart steady?" ”

"Cooperating with the Wu family, and being a big shopkeeper, what is there to worry about." Huang Dianyuan said: "It's just strange to be here, such a good opportunity, the South China Association can't sit still." ”

"If you can't sit still, you can arrange for some people to come over." Yi Zhi said disapprovingly: "That place, there will never be less of us Chinese in the future, and Yuan Qi also plans to gain a foothold in San Francisco, so it's good to send some people over to fight before stationing." ”

Hearing him say this, Huang Dianyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "When the fleet will depart, we will make arrangements in advance." ”

"Next month." Yi Zhishu said and picked up the booklet "Yuan Dao Jue World Training" from the desk and handed it over, saying, "Brother Rong has a look." ”

After a slight look, Huang Dianyuan said: "This is the worship of God, why is the big shopkeeper interested?" ”

"The Worship of God Society, Hong Huoxiu and others are brewing an incident in the Bauhinia Mountain Area of Guiping County, Xunzhou Prefecture, Guangxi." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "I want you to run." ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan was a little confused, and asked him to contact the God Worship Society? What do you mean? Even if Yuan Qi wants to rebel, there are ready-made Heaven and Earth Society and Qinglian Sect as allies, so he can't contact the God Worship Society, which onion are they?

After a little thought, he said, "I have no ..... to have anything to do with the God Worship Society." ”

"The Heaven and Earth Society is a well-known golden signboard." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "There is no contact, go and get in touch, and there will be contact." ”

Huang Dianyuan smiled when he heard this, "Don't sell the big shopkeeper...... ”

Yi Zhizhi was about to speak, but when he heard Lin Meilian's light cough, he immediately stopped, slowly took out a cigarette and lit it, and Lin Meilian, who was waiting, came in with two maids with tea trays and food boxes, and set up the wine, food, and tea and retreated, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Rong is free." ”

Huang Dianyuan smiled, "It seems that this matter is not simple. Saying that he poured himself a drink, Yi Zhizhi said that although he was in Ding Wei Shou system, but he had always been unconventional, and he also poured himself a cup and took a sip, in recent years, he has frequently gone to sea, and his amount of wine has also increased greatly, put down the wine glass, he said: "Hong Huoxiu used the name of Christianity to create the "God Religion" by mixing the relevant classics and doctrines of Confucianism. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the booklet and said, "This "Yuan Dao Jue Shi Xun" is actually an article, calling on the worshippers of the Worship of God to rebel, and in the past few years, they have developed rapidly in the Bauhinia Mountain Area and have begun to take shape. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of wine, twisted a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and then said slowly: "Guangxi, Brother Rong should be no stranger, land annexation has been great in recent years, and a large number of nomads from Guangdong, Fujian and Hunan have entered Guangxi to make a living, and the locals call these people Hakka."

With the gradual increase of the number of Hakka people from outside, it is natural to have a conflict of interests with the local Tu people, and the local government often secretly instigates the local aborigines to fight with the Hakka people in order to facilitate management and exploitation.

In order to fight for a well, a field, and a daughter-in-law, the whole village of people held weapons and vendetta against each other, and sometimes a dozen people died in such large-scale armed fights over the years.

Last year, the surnames Huang and Tan of Guiping Jintian Village had a fight because of the incident, and there were more than 1,000 people in each of the people who participated in the fight. ”

As of last year, the Worship of God Society has developed a congregation of tens of thousands, most of whom are landless poor peasants, charcoal workers, and miners, not only Hakka, but also many local Tu people have also enthusiastically joined. ”

Hearing these words, Huang Dianyuan couldn't help but secretly speak, the God Worship Association has quietly developed to the scale of tens of thousands of congregations, and they are all perennial participants in the fighting, no wonder Yi Zhizhi looked at them differently, and groaned slightly, he said: "The big shopkeeper wants to support them?" ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "Yes, I need them to break the game." ”

"Breaking the game?" Huang Dianyuan laughed and said, "Is it a disturbance?" ”

"Whether it's breaking the game or disrupting it, it's all the same." Yi Zhizhi said: "Last year, the expedition to Nanyang and the establishment of the Provisional Luzon Governor's Palace, in order to appease the local natives, declared the equality of ethnic groups, and did not shave their hair and make it easy to obey, which aroused the suspicion of the imperial court. In addition, this is an old age, and it is estimated that it will be two years to live, and the replacement of the old and the new will inevitably cause great twists and turns, and Yuan Qi must take measures to divert the attention of the imperial court. ”

Huang Dianyuan said faintly: "Why bother so much, it's simply the opposite, now that it has occupied Nanyang, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, what scruples does the big shopkeeper have?" ”

"If Yuan Qi is reversed, it will inevitably be a big chaos." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "After a war that lasts for several years, whether you win or lose, you will have to face a mess - the depression of all industries, the sharp decline in population, and the invasion of Western countries have also delayed our golden time for industrial development.

The development of industry, need a lot of labor, our biggest advantage is the population, 400 million people, accounting for three to four percent of the world's total population, this is our biggest development of industry, our industry started late, now is the time to catch up, how can we mess up? It's still the same sentence, the meat is rotten in the pot, and outsiders can't be cheapened. ”

Huang Dianyuan glanced at him and said, "Worshipping God will rebel, so the big shopkeeper won't worry about the chaos in the world?" ”

"Without Yuanqi's support, no one can turn the sky upside down." Yi Zhizhi said, taking a sip of the wine.

Huang Dianyuan smiled and said, "How is the big shopkeeper going to support the God Worship Society?" ”

"Give them a thousand muskets."

"A thousand?" Huang Dianyuan's eyes were red, and he said in a sour tone: "I haven't seen the big shopkeeper so generous to the Nanhua Society. ”

Yi Zhishu smiled and said, "It's just an old-fashioned musket, an obsolete product, is it necessary to be red-eyed." After a pause, he said: "The year before last, what was the name of the person who caused trouble in Guangxi in the Heaven and Earth Society?" Luo Dagang, he is now active in the Guiping area, and he has some friendship with the God Worship Society, and it is most safe for these guns to be given to the God Worship Society through his hands.

You contact him as soon as possible, this batch of guns will be sent in three batches, and the last batch of 300 guns will be deliberately leaked to let the government seize it, and guide the officers and soldiers to go to the worship of God to force them to start an incident this year. ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizhi said worriedly: "Will this harm them?" ”

"No, it won't." Yi Zhi said confidently: "They have long started to prepare for the incident by privately making weapons, and if they don't do anything this year, they will start an incident next year." ”

After pondering for a while, Huang Dianyuan said: "This matter is a little urgent, it is March now, and Guiping, the capital of Xunzhou, Guangxi, is not close to ......." ”

"It's not far, it's by water." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "Transporting goods against the current, it won't take two months." ”

"Okay." Huang Dianyuan said briskly.

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "You tell them that their benefits are indispensable afterwards, but this batch of guns can't be detained, don't hurt me." ”

Huang Dianyuan said: "Don't worry, I'll go in person." ”

Sending Huang Dianyuan away, Yi Zhizu breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't remember whether the God Worship Society would start this year or next year, out of caution, he made this arrangement, as for sending guns to strengthen the strength of the God Worship Society, he didn't care, the more happy the toss, the bigger the momentum, the better.

For the imperial court to clean up the arrears, although it is very likely to raise money for the reform of the northwest frontier politics, he never dared to be careless, carefully sailed the ship of ten thousand years, now the situation is unknown, how careful can not be overdone, after the situation is clear, he came forward to clean up the mess.

After taking a nap at noon, I got up and found that the rain had not stopped, and I was very bored, and I was about to listen to Yuxuan talk to Bao Shichen about a game, but Lin Meilian came in and reported: "Shopkeeper Kong is here." ”

Kong Jian'an? What's the matter with the general number? Yi Zhixiang wondered in his heart, now that he is the head of Yuanqi, he almost doesn't care, Kong Jian'an is in charge of all matters, he is busy all day long, there is nothing important, he definitely will not come at this time, and he said: "Please let him in." ”

Kong Jian'an didn't come alone, but also with a person, about early thirties, dressed as a shopkeeper, with bright eyes, looking very energetic, after the two came in to greet the salute, Kong Jian'an said: "This is Wei Jingping, the shopkeeper of the Nanhai branch, the new shopkeeper recommended by the general number to go to Citi Gold Rush to open a branch." ”

Wei Jingping hurriedly bowed his hand again, "My subordinate Wei Jingping has seen the big shopkeeper. ”

"Don't be formal, sit." Yi Zhizu stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and then said, "Can you speak English?" ”

"Go back to the treasurer." Wei Jingping said respectfully: "I have stayed in the Huangpu branch before the next and can communicate skillfully, but the writing is still a little lacking. ”

"It's okay, I'll learn after I pass." Yi Zhizhi glanced at Kong Jian'an as he spoke, Kong Jian'an smiled and said, "It's better to tell the big shopkeeper personally." ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded and said: "Citigroup is far away, but in fact it is on the other side of us, but this Pacific Ocean is a little wide, this time California found sand gold, according to the feedback news, the reserves should be huge, the purpose of our branch in San Francisco is very clear, to buy gold, buy gold by all means."

In addition, it is to buy land, San Francisco is currently a small town with a size of no more than 6,000 people, but when you arrive, you may find that it is a large town of 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Furthermore, the opening of a semicolon in San Francisco to buy gold, not in exchange for silver, but through trade, in short, the semicolon could be without a tael of silver, but the semicolon had to have huge warehouses for all the goods that were in short supply caused by the rapid increase in the population, and the goods necessary for the gold diggers..... Got it? ”

"The big shopkeeper means that there will be a lot of people going to San Francisco to pan for gold." Wei Jingping said softly: "Moreover, the semicolon needs to be traded to exchange for gold. ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhi said with a full jaw: "The business of San Francisco is easy to say, but difficult to say, as long as you have enough scarce goods on hand, gold will roll in." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The goods loaded by the fleet this time are not the previous trade commodities, but mainly the tools, quilts, wine and the like needed for gold panning, what the fleet needs to bring next time, you need to judge, and one more point, of course, you must be honest, but you can't be too honest, you remember, there, gold is the least valuable, you have a good grasp of it, however, you can't smash the signboard of Yuanqi, Yuanqi will be based in San Francisco in the future, long-term development." ”

"Gold is the least valuable?" Kong Jian'an was speechless: "The big shopkeeper shouldn't say that there is gold everywhere, right?" ”

"Of course it can't be gold everywhere." Yi Zhicontent smiled: "However, it is not much worse, it is said that a person can find a tael of gold a day, as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and you will only know what the situation is when you go." ”
