On the morning of the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the riverside wharf outside the Thirteen Lines, a large group of holy soldiers put the entire wharf and the square of the Thirteen Lines Business District under martial law inside and out early in the morning.

Although martial law is under martial law, those who state their identities and do not carry firearms after inspection can enter the Thirteen Merchant District.

Before the end of the day, the entire business district was already crowded.

Before the Shengwang and the others appeared, Xu Xiangguang and Wu Chongyao, who were in charge of reception, welcomed the families in Guangzhou City and the owners of the thirteen businesses to a high platform in the square.

The square between the wharf and the thirteen business districts is extremely wide, and Xu Xiangguang has already set up a high platform in the center of the square, "Nanyang Company Opening Ceremony!" A line of gilded characters fluttered in the wind. Behind it is the Yamen of the Municipal Administration Office, which used to manage the 13 banks, which has now been converted into the building of Nanyang Company.

Several major families in the city who took refuge in the Taiping Holy Army all sent people to cheer for the scene. There are also small and medium-sized traders in Guangzhou who have not been raided, and businesses near Guangzhou Mansion are all dispatched.

Many foreigners also came. There were British, French, Americans, Swedes, Spaniards, Portuguese, Danes, Dutch, Prussians, Hamburgers, Belgians, Italians, and some people from small countries. Wu Chongyao took a general look, and there were dozens of them.

These foreigners were all invited by Wu Chongyao to the square in front of the high platform. And all the vendors in Guangzhou City, and the shopkeepers of various shops around Guangzhou Mansion are already waiting there.

The vendors were talking a lot.

"Second Brother Niu, are you here too?" A thin man with a sharp beak greets a fat shopkeeper.

"Qian San, you're here, can I not come? Besides, if you dare not come to the call of the Holy Soldier, be careful to raid your house and cut off your head. The fat man replied.

"That's it! Second Brother Niu, don't say it, the holy soldiers have speculated most of the big merchants in the city, and my vendor business has improved a lot recently. The thin man looked happy.

"That's their own doing! I've heard that those people don't do a good business, but they want to lend usury and sell other people's children, and the holy soldiers are supporting the poor, and I heard that the confiscated property is distributed to the poor people. The fat man seemed to know the situation very well.

"Second Brother Niu, how much do you think you can give to the people? Most of them are with the Holy Soldier. What kind of Nanyang company is set up this time, maybe the business in the city will be robbed by them. ”

"Nonsense. The Holy Soldier who came to my shop can say that Nanyang Company is foreign trade, which means doing big business with foreigners. Don't steal small business with our small vendors. "The fat man didn't know if he had the benefit of the Taiping Holy Army, and said good things for the Holy Army.

"Hey, your second brother's nemesis, Lai's house, was raided by the Holy Army, right? No wonder you're talking so much for the Holy Army. I can't tell you. The thin man smiled, "However, Lord Saint Bing has done a good job, and all the city gates in Guangzhou don't charge checkpoint money." That alone will save me two taels of silver a month. ”

"That's it! The Holy Soldier is not the Manchu Tartar of the past, he is a dog official! ”

“…...”

………

Foreigners also met people everywhere and whispered everywhere.

"Mr. Smith, aren't you back in the United States? Why are you still in Guangzhou? A London-accented asked, and at first glance it was British.

"Hi George! Isn't this going to attend the opening ceremony of Nanyang Company? ”

"Hehe, I don't think you're going to attend the opening ceremony of Nanyang Company, you're staring at the orders that these rebels are going to announce at the opening ceremony."

"George, aren't you too? By the way, there are rumors that the rebel leaders are going to do what kind of bidding? Do you know what it is? ”

"Mr. Smith, I've never heard of this tender going on. However, I have heard that the rebels have a large amount of cloth to procure. ”

"Hey, George, you're too far behind. According to my inquiries from reliable sources, the rebel leaders have made a change from purchasing cloth and directly purchasing textile machinery to spin and weave their own fabric. Smith quietly revealed the secret.

"What? How could there be such a thing? But it doesn't matter, I can provide the loom. Our British looms are state-of-the-art. The man known as George said with some pride.

"Hey, George, you really don't know anything about it? I'm really worried about you! Smith scoffed, "For the sake of old friends of many years, let me remind you." It is very likely that your Lieutenant Governor of Hong Kong Island will not allow British merchants to sell goods to these rebels. ”

"Impossible! As far as he was afraid, the deputy admiral was just Sir Wen Han was not on Hong Kong Island, so he was temporarily in charge. George looked angry: "It's just that his uncle, who was a councilor, found a position in the navy for him, and really thought he was the governor of Hong Kong Island?" On the basis of his decision. ”

"Then I don't know! But didn't you notice that you English businessmen were there for you and John, and what about the others? You British are the most numerous in the Far East. ”

"That's true! How do you know? George was a little panicked and hurriedly asked.

"Because, I have a good relationship with the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in China, Pastor Bo Jia, and he revealed the news." Smith looked smug and said further, "George, why don't we join forces and take the order together?" How is it? ”

"Think about it, you can get the best looms and spinning machines in England, I can provide advanced and cheap steam engines and I have a good relationship with the American chargé d'affaires in China. Together, this order is definitely ours! When the time comes, hehe! Smith smirked.

"Great idea! Smith, I'm glad to have you as a friend. Otherwise, I'm going to lose this chance to make a fortune! George exclaimed happily.

……..

Knock knock, bell knock.....

A rapid sound of gongs and drums sounded! It turned out that the time had come to announce the opening of Nanyang Company.

Two rows of armed holy soldiers flashed from the platform, lined up on either side of the high platform.

Subsequently, Feng Yunshan, surrounded by Liu Shengbang and several personal guards, went to the high platform. Luo Gang, Lin Fengxiang, Zuo Zongtang, Xu Xiangguang, Wu Chongyao, He Lu, Li Wenmao and others also followed closely and stood on the high platform.

In addition, there were three foreigners who also stood on one side of the high platform, but they were invited by the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in China, the pastor Habaander, and the Prussian consul in Guangzhou, Ricky Brown. Karenway.

As soon as Feng Yunshan stood in front of the high platform, he cheered with the holy soldiers on both sides: "Holy King! Holy King! ”

Under the stage, in the square, thousands of holy soldiers in charge of martial law and patrols cheered one after another: "Holy King...... Hooray....."

For a while, the applause and shouts were thunderous, and the ears of everyone in the audience buzzed, and all of them changed color!

Fortunately. Feng Yunshan on the stage waved his hands around the square, and then pressed his hands virtually, and suddenly the cheers disappeared, and the whole square was silent!

Feng Yunshan was very satisfied with the performance of the holy soldiers, although he had rehearsed several times, it was very good to be able to do this, and he had already revealed the kind of killing aura that the holy army had forbidden. At the very least, it can deter the foreigners and traders in the audience.

Feng Yunshan coughed a few times to clear his throat and shouted to the audience: "Now, this king has announced that the Nanyang Company of the Taiping Holy Kingdom has opened!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another cheer in the square!

Feng Yunshan once again quieted everyone down, nodded to Zuo Zongtang and Wu Chongyao, and retreated to the middle seat to sit down.

Wu Chongyao took over and shouted: "Everyone, Nanyang Company, mainly engaged in foreign trade business. Merchants from all over the world are welcome to come to our Nanyang company to purchase the best raw silk, tea, porcelain, silk and other agricultural and sideline products. ”

After relieving his breath, Wu Chongyao continued to shout: "At the same time, Nanyang Company also welcomes you to sell high-quality and inexpensive cloth, grain, steel, machinery and equipment and other goods. ”

"Nanyang Company, with abundant funds, please forgive Wu for not being able to tell you. Wu only revealed one point that in the next six months, Nanyang Company will use more than 5 million taels of silver to purchase goods. I hope you can take over these businesses and become a partner of Nanyang! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a meteorite thrown into a calm lake, and for a while, everyone under the high stage was excited, discussed, and exploded!

Five million taels of silver!

In just half a year, we will have to purchase goods worth five million taels of silver! This is the strength of Nanyang Company!

The local traders in the square were no different from the foreigners from outside for a while, their eyes were fixed on Wu Chongyao on the stage, and they couldn't wait to take over the business immediately.

Having succeeded in arousing everyone's interest, Wu Chongyao went on to talk about other aspects of the Nanyang Company, and invited everyone to attend the Nanyang Company's business bidding meeting later.
