Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 357 Back to Qiongzhou

That afternoon, John Burr, his sailors, and black servants who were trapped in a specific area entered the city of Guangzhou.

Zuo Fu handed a note to the Governor and the Third Division, who would dare not approve it?Everyone has said that it is inappropriate for this western businessman to go back to Qiongzhou with her and stay in a specific area.

An inappropriate sentence is the best excuse.I didn't dare to talk too much at the moment, I gave the approval note and let him go.

After the people were led out, Zuofu found an inn for them near the station.Then, I asked the local fellows again, took them out of the city, rushed them down the river, and finished the cleaning work with the help of Comrade Li Xiang.

And John Burr, who used soap, was shocked!
He is no stranger to this thing!Because when the family was rich, he also used it!However, this thing is very expensive, generally only the rich and nobles can afford it, but here...

Just throw a piece to a nigger and don't take it back, how rich is this? !Moreover, this cleaning effect is far stronger than the ones he used before, and it also has a strange smell, which smells good. After washing, the smell is also faintly exuded. If it is brought back to Europe...

oh god!
Look, what did he find? !If this kind of soap with strong cleaning power is brought back to Europe...

That must cause madness, right?
especially……

You can give it to niggers casually, so it shouldn’t be expensive in Daming, right?
His heart fluttered, and he looked forward to Qiongzhou's heart!And when he got a Hanfu made of silk, he jumped up happily!

And those underwear made him feel novel!The fabric is unbelievably soft, and it can protect itself very well. These Daming people are really too smart!Just what is this fabric made of?Why can it be so soft?Why is there no such pants in the trade list issued by Daming?

Oh, right.

These Ming people are relatively shy, maybe they think it is very rude to sell this?

After thinking about it secretly, he couldn't wait to put on his clothes according to Li Xiang's demonstration.

I lowered my head and pulled the clothes to look left and right, only to feel that my heart was filled with beauty.

He bowed and saluted in thanks.

Li Xiang couldn't understand what he said, but he still smiled, and then led a group of clean people back to the inn.

After giving instructions to the owner of the inn, he returned to the inn.In the following days, Zuo Fu took John around the city.In addition to looking for goods for himself, he is instilling Chinese culture in John.

To train a qualified agent, brainwashing is also necessary.After all, one only needs to look at the number of people who have been fooled into fools by Ying Jiang in later generations. Soft power is sometimes no less than an atomic bomb, and the lethality of cultural output is sometimes more useful than an atomic bomb.

And Zuofu himself needs to buy something in Guangzhou.

The business in Qiongzhou is really too simple, and many things cannot be bought.But Guangzhou is different.As a city that rarely goes abroad, you can buy everything you want here, even a few maids from South Asia and the Middle East.

Zuo Fu is not interested in maids, what she needs now are medicinal materials and dry goods that can be traded with Taobao.

Although the funds on Taobao have reached more than one billion, and there are thousands of antique furniture, 4 taels of gold and more than one million taels of silver stored in the space, these things cannot be thrown away too much.After throwing too much before, she found that the price would be affected.

So now, in addition to the bronze coins that she continues to sell, she has begun to control some antique furniture and gold.

Although the funds are still sufficient, she has become accustomed to accumulating more wealth.A poor place like Qiongzhou requires a lot of investment in the early stage. Compared with Changzhou, the return will be much later.

She worked in Wujin for three years, and after more than a year, the money she invested began to flow back.Except for those handed over and retained in the local area, the businesses she participated in have also paid off.

And because she paid for the infrastructure construction out of her own pocket in the early stage, Zhu Cihong allowed her to withhold part of the later part of the money to make up for it.Zuo Fu would not be polite, if he didn't want it, it would show that he was disobedient.

Moreover, she is not a saint. She invested with her own pocket, so she will naturally pay back.Just using love can’t generate electricity, can it?

The conditions in Qiongzhou are much worse than Wujin, so it would be good to see returns within three years.In fact, I dare not think about it for three years, unless the sea trade business can become prosperous within three years, otherwise the effect will be very slow.

The huge capital investment is predictable, so Zuo Fu has to continue to save money to prepare for the future.

A few days later, Zuo Fu bought a new Dafu boat, and Guangzhou allocated some shipwrights, sailors and some old scholars to her.These people followed Zuo Fu onto the boat with their families, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Although he was going to that poor place in Qiongzhou, the price offered by the town was too generous.Moreover, he is approachable and not domineering at all. It is always right to work with this master!

And except for these people, the ship was still full of cargo.They are all medicinal materials and dry goods used to trade with Taobao.

And John Burr's ship was fully loaded at the moment.Unlike Zoffre, his ship was not loaded with goods, but with people.

Zuofu saw many homeless people in the city, and after talking with them, they were willing to follow them to Qiongzhou, so she took them away.

Qiongzhou is short of people now, as long as they are willing to work, she will!
As for Zuo Fu's blatantly pulling people to Qiongzhou, the local officials in Guangzhou also turned a blind eye.Those people are a burden, even if she doesn't come to take them away, they will send them to her later.Since she brought some of her own, that would be the best.

And Ding Kuichu also breathed a sigh of relief after watching Zuo Fu, the god of plague, get on the boat and leave.For some reason, he always felt uneasy when this person was on his territory.Now that the person is gone, I feel much more at ease.

Set sail, there is nothing to say about the itinerary all the way, five days later, the group arrived in Qiongzhou.Counting the days, it has been 20 days since we left, and Qiongzhou has also changed a lot.

Stimulated by the food, the villagers are very enthusiastic about working.After finishing the work in the field, they returned to the construction site to continue working, while the affairs in the field were left to the women to take care of them.After all, the work in the future is not so heavy, it is more important to go back to the construction site and eat free food.

Although there are few people in Qiongzhou, they can gather together to work, and the progress is still very fast.When Zoff came back here, the roads and sewer system in the city had already been fixed.The villagers have now begun to dig soil outside the city, preparing to build the road outside.

Returning to this city again, Zuo Fu looked at the clean road, and felt as if he had passed away.And John Burr knelt down, shouting, "My God, what kind of wild land is this?! This is a miracle, a miracle!"

　These chapters may be a bit dull, but the author feels that it is also a necessary foreshadowing.After all, if you want to open the sea for trade, there are still some things that need to be paved.
