Qin Bosheng's shouting attracted even more attention.

The squadron leader trembled and cursed with a smile: "Do not shout at your head, you can't scream at the ghost."

"Is it true..." Qin Bosheng still looked stunned, and he said, "Is that a scholar, a man? Why did he apply makeup and wear pink silk shirts?"

Everyone looked at the place where Qin Bosheng pointed his fingers, and they saw several weak students, painted with powder, wide robes and big sleeves, looking weak and weak.

Seeing this group of stout men looking at him, the students all looked arrogant and looked at him squintedly, and then left on their own.

Qin Bosheng scratched his head and smiled, "This is really a look at the country bumpkin, but fortunately I was a country bumpkin."

"Damn it." This time the squadron leader also cursed: "A group of two Yizi, what a bird look like."

"So Nandu is like this, I'm open."

"It is said that the people in the south are different from those in the north. Fortunately, our northerners have a little simplicity and martial spirit. If they are like the southerners, let alone the Eastern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarians have already gone south. At that time, they will still be fourth-class people. It is impossible to see that they can still behave like this."

"Okay." The squadron leader restrained everyone and said with a smile: "Let's just keep escorts. Now that the rest is over, I will deliver the goods to the semicolon with the convoy, and then take turns to take a holiday. There is a restaurant in Nanjing that was opened during the Taizu period. It is still not allowed to drink during the holidays, but you can have a good meal and drink!"

"Are we going to find women?" A veteran said shamelessly: "The Qinhuai River is famous."

"Damn it." The squadron leader laughed and scolded: "You just need to give it to the silver according to the price, you are not allowed to drink wine or gamble. I care about you so much."

With a cheer, all the soldiers' faces turned slightly red. Many people looked around. In the memory of everyone, the extremely prosperous city in front of them was only comparable to the capital. They were all huge cities with a radius of fifty or sixty miles. They all lived in densely populated villages outside the city. The elephant soldiers believed that the big city was impossible to compare with these two cities since childhood.

In comparison, the capital seems to be more majestic, colder, and more majestic, while Nanjing has a little more moisture and gentleness, and the residents coming and going seem to be more calm and casual than the residents of the capital... After all, there are many ordinary people and live a wealthy life, not like the capital, either rich and noble families, nobles and nobles, nobles and nobles, and poor people, or northern refugees who escape from war and famine.

In recent years, the northern region has suffered severe famines, and hungry people fled everywhere. In addition to the war in Liaodong, a large number of Liao people fled into the pass and continued to flee to the capital. Compared with Nanjing, the capital is not only a political center, but also an absolute military fortress. When encountering warnings, it has become a common practice for people to escape to the capital. However, since there has been no war in Nanjing since the Japanese turmoil, there have been no small-scale bandits for decades, and there have never been a large-scale refugee tide and famine. The whole city is immersed in a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere, and the temperament of the residents is closely related to the city. At least in the eyes of Qin Bosheng and others, the city in front of him has both the kingly and domineering spirit of Jinling, which is also unique to the gentle water of Jiangnan. It is really a fascinating Jiangnan city.

The goods were finally unloaded. When unloading the goods, many merchants and passing merchants came over to watch the fun... The Hutchison convoy had been here several times and was quite generous. He bought several nearby buildings and more than a dozen yards and opened up the warehouse inventory. In addition to the mule and horse shops, there were also escort shops, accounts, groceries and ironware shops. Such a big deal suddenly shocked the entire business circle in Nandu. The news spread quickly. The business district in Nanjing was of course mainly Jiangsu merchants in Jiangnan, and the presence of Zhejiang merchants was also not low. In addition, the figures of salt merchants in Huaiyang and salt merchants in Huguang were also very common.

It is useless for merchants to brag about how strong Hutchison is in the north... In fact, He Yusheng has long been famous. There are a large number of officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River in the north, and the goods in the south have always stopped from the north of the canal. Of course, a considerable number of southern merchants have known about the existence of Hutchison. However, the southerners have no feelings about the so-called military strength and political influence. What they are more interested in is the financial resources and uniqueness of Hutchison's account. Some powerful Jiangnan merchants have considered setting up accounts, but when they think of Jiangnan's complex official and gentry power network, these merchants can only give up.

Even if you do the right thing in an inappropriate place, you will definitely not do it well.

Hutchison's name was originally very famous, and his great fanfare after entering Nanjing proved his strength... The housing prices in Nanjing are expensive as ordinary people can't imagine. Once you enter a small courtyard with one straight and two sides, you will have to pay 60 taels of silver. The houses that Hutchison bought are the most prosperous courtyards and high-rise buildings. It cost thousands of dollars to buy houses and layouts alone. In addition to a large amount of goods and carriages, Hutchison invested tens of thousands of dollars in Nanjing in a short period of time. This level of investment is only one of the Hutchison's points. Hutchison's huge financial resources are very eye-catching and even convincing.

After the goods were finished, the crowds of onlookers gradually dispersed. The coachmen took the horse away to take care of them. The people from the carriage began to maintain the big cart. Some masters moved the goods they had just delivered to various stores, where merchants were already waiting.

In fact, Ma'anshan produces iron in Nanjing, but it is mostly small ore of different sizes. In terms of quality and output, it is not as good as Fujian iron. Therefore, when Hutchison's fine iron and various iron products arrived, it quickly opened up the market. Merchants from all over the world came to purchase goods, and even went to Huguang to buy water conservancy.

Ironware, cloth, northern fur, ginseng, east beads, pine cones, and mouth mills are all Hutchison's main products and are also quite popular. Almost every time the inventory comes, it will be sold out instantly.

Most of the entire squadron's escort team was disbanded at this time, but everyone must keep in mind the time of returning to the team, and gambling and drinking are strictly prohibited. Leaving the team is not allowed to act alone and supervise each other. As long as they leave alone, it is a serious violation of military discipline. At the very least, they can be confined and rebelled directly. No one will joke about their future.

Almost all escort team members are musketeers, with monthly salary and business trip allowances of more than four taels. They will receive several rewards in a battle. After a whole month, ordinary recruits can get nearly ten taels of silver in a year. This income level is equivalent to the net income of ordinary people in one to one and a half years. Soldiers will not be foolish and mess up such a good job.

Qin Bosheng couldn't leave for a moment, and the squadron leader kept him.

"You are the team officers, don't want to go with others. I want to write a report, and you don't think about it. Take the left-behind staff and take over the brothers who are on the post. Patrol for an hour and then leave. The time for going out is limited to one and a half hours. You must go back to the camp at the time of time. I will check the post!"

Qin Bosheng was furious when he heard this, but there was no way. The military order was as big as a mountain, so he could only follow the orders to change shifts.

Fortunately, the place is large and there are many goods, so everyone is also eye-opening.

Although they are children of a farmer, many of the various fine iron farm tools in front of them are something that Qin Bosheng and others have never seen before, and they are also enjoying it now.

There are also various fabrics, and there are dozens of fur products, ranging from rabbit skin to fox skin, roe deer skin, precious bear skin, tiger skin, and all kinds of fur products are available.

"Don't put those bear skins and tiger skins into the warehouse." Qin Bosheng and others were relaxed and happy when they saw it, a group of people who looked like gentlemen walked into the store and happened to see the transport of expensive fur.

A young student holding a folding fan smiled and said, "I'll ask for all these fur items. I'll tell you the place later and ask the guy to carry it over directly."

Another young man said, "Brother Zifang wants this item to give it to someone?"

The student said before, "I want to give it away. Uncle Xiong has been in the north for many years. I heard that the joints are very painful in winter. I can't sit and lie down. I have long thought of finding a few good fur items for him. Coco can leave casually today, which is really a good fortune."

"My husband, please forgive me." A shopkeeper in charge of fur ran over and said with a smile on his face: "These expensive furs were ordered in advance, and they only sent them after they were ordered."

Yizheng, a student holding the folding fan, said with a somewhat ugly expression: "No matter who booked it, I will always pay 30% more, and I will not let you suffer any losses."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I am sorry for my crime. We should pay attention to integrity when doing business. The customer has set these fur goods early. This number also stipulates the delivery time in advance. The difference is about five days. Even if the stock is replenished now, it is too late, so I dare not agree."

"Do you know which husband he is?" A student forced himself to step forward and shouted, "Wuxi Gu family! Are you afraid that your money will be short?"

Another student said: "What else do you businessmen talk about? You just want to ask for more money. No matter how much, I will pay 20% more for Brother Fang and 50% more profits. I will send a post to the government office and arrest you to shackle and make a board. The store will be sealed for you!"

When the student said the words, everyone else frowned.

Students are different from students. Some students take litigation and take advantage of the situation, but they are just a disaster in the local area. Such students have nothing to do with poor scholars, and of course they also have backgrounds. For example, if someone is an official in his family and he has a student status, it is difficult for local officials to sell their face to him.

Some students are devoted to taking the exam and ignore everything else. They live by the treatment of exemption from taxes and money. Their lives are still very hard, but they have nothing to do with hunger.

Some were born in aristocratic families and received the most orthodox Confucian education since childhood. In provinces like Jiangnan with a prosperous literary style, they could become scholars early, and before they were promoted to juren, they could become famous people, either poetry or lyrics, or they were good at painting, or they were exquisite in antique musical instruments, or they understood gardens and landscapes. Scholars from such families still paid great attention to noble faces. Like the students just now, they did make them feel a little disrespectful. However, although they were unpleasant, they could be considered as the hearts of these scholars: what the businessmen meant is nothing more than profit-seeking!
