Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 55 This is the real Liberty City
Chapter 55、This is the real free city

"Grand Duke, the world is public!"

On the newsstand, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a short-sleeved bunt, the most common style here in Nanyang, raised his head and smiled.

Seeing that the heads of the two were wrapped like the Indian Asan, he smiled slightly.

"Are you two from the Mainland?"

Vicente was shocked: "How do you know?"

"Since King Ming defeated the Lianyamen of the Lanfang Regiment of the Qing Dynasty and the coalition forces of Borneo countries a month ago, and issued the announcement of the establishment of Lanfang Province, the Nanyang Chinese basically cut their braids, or grew their hair in a bun, or simply Shave your hair short to look cool."

"It's really rare to cover the top of your head like you, except for those who come from the mainland."

It is a bit of a crime to grow hair here in Nanyang.

Fortunately, apart from asking the subordinates to cut their braids, the Ming Palace did not insist on asking the big guys to crown their hair.

So many Chinese wanted to be cool, so they just kept a convenient short cut - this trend was blown from the Ming army.

While Zhu Daohua asked the Ming army to cut off their braids, he did not let them grow their hair. The purpose was to make it easier to sew up and bazaar after the head was damaged on the battlefield.

After all, it is a matter of life.

On the contrary, civil servants have more rules.

For example, recently "Ta Kung Pao" reported that the officials of the various divisions of the Ming Palace had a debate on whether to revive and develop.

At present, the theory of growing hair has the upper hand - Qing shaves his hair and wears it easily, and Ming restores the clothes of the Han family. This is politically correct, and even the king of Ming Dynasty has not publicly expressed his opinion on this matter.

In general.

The Malacca Islands under King Ming's rule and Lanfang Province in preparation.

Whether to grow hair is not a matter of life and death.

Suppression of public opinion among the populace for hundreds of years.

For the first time, there was some fresh air.

There were even newspapers like "Ta Kung Pao" that dared to discuss publicly the policies of the Ming Palace.

With a bitter look on their faces, other expressions appeared on the faces of the Chinese who seemed to be on guard all the time.

"The world is public? Who said that?"

Liu Guangliang asked.

"Ming Wang said."

Goatee arched his hands in the direction of Ming Palace and said.

"Hehe, what kind of person is King Ming, you, a newspaper seller, know what he's talking about?"

Vicente said with a sneer.

Although the anti-Ming rebels want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and want him to have no place to be a slave (Vicent has regained his flag status), but people like the anti-Ming and puppet kings are not at the same level as the current Long Live Lord, right? At least a few levels higher than Fukang'an.

How can a newspaper peddler know what these heavenly figures are saying?
"Why don't you know, the [Ta Kung Pao] and [Sun Moon News] report what King Ming is saying every day. Look at this issue, it is about [Theory of the Superiority of Chinese Civilization], and this issue is about [Middle School as the Body] , Western learning for practical use], look at this."

The newspaper seller turned over several issues of the past newspapers and said.

"You don't know that the words spoken by King Ming are not only bought by people in Batam and West Borneo, but also in Annan, Siam, Myanmar, and even in Japan and North Korea in the far north. Heap, bought all the issues!"

Vicente and Liu Guangliang looked at each other.

The two opened up for a while.

But I couldn't see why—they were all written in vernacular, and they were not as educated as the court's Jinshi Juren at first glance.

But now that people from so many countries have come to buy it.

It's not bad to buy the last few issues.

"Newspaper sellers, take a look at which issues are more popular, and give me those issues."

Vicente looked at the [Ta Kung Pao] and [Sun Moon News], which recorded many recent events, and even saw an advertisement of a merchant on one page.

These things may be used as "rebellious intelligence", and if they are sent up, it is a credit to everyone.

"okay!"

Goatee skillfully selected several newspapers.

"Two, a total of 80 copper coins."

The copper coins mentioned by Goat Nonsense are Ming copper coins, and the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty are not recognized here.

Liu Guangliang took out a few 10-copper banknotes, and then asked, "Newspaper seller, do you know where the storefront of Jincai Bank is?"

"I know, I know, this Jincai Bank is quite famous these days. They can actually produce silk from the mainland. Before that, it was all business in the Thirteen Banks."

Isn't it.

The boss behind Jincai Bank is Wu Dunyuan, the general merchant of Thirteen Banks.

Although Ni Ming didn't say that Shisanhang would not be allowed to come to Batam to do business, but after all, behind Shisanhang were the princes of the Eight Banners in Beijing.

The merchants in these thirteen lines are all compradors of these princes.

Therefore, the merchants of the Thirteen Banks are waiting and watching for the time being, and they dare not come directly.

On the contrary, Wu Dunyuan was courageous and sent someone to buy a shop on Batam Island in the name of Nanyang Chinese businessmen.

It is not difficult to find the storefront of Jincaihang.

There is a street dedicated to peddler shops on Batam Island.

This is considered to be the most expensive place on the island at present—why doesn't Boss Zhu know the benefits of the real estate economy?

In the words of later generations.

Boss Zhu is both a referee and an athlete.

Naturally, he made a lot of money by hoarding land on Batam Island.

Those who can buy a store in the street of Hongshang's shop are all powerful and big Hongshang.

"Selling arms?"

Enter the storefront of the finance bank.

The superficial boss of Jincai Bank, Jinjincai, frowned.

He hastily closed the windows and doors on the second floor.

"What, Boss Huang? Can't this business be done?"

"I can do it, but if I do it for Daqing, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble."

Batam did not say that it cannot do arms trading.

In fact, King Zhu Ming is very trustworthy.

Said it was a free city,

That's a free city.

Come here for the money.

Ming Palace never asks where it came from, just deposit it at Daohua Bank or Chris Bank, and exchange it into Ming Yuan.

No matter how the money comes from.

It's all whitewashed.

As far as gold wealth is concerned.

Recently, there have been a lot of Chinese pirates who were originally doing business in Nanyang without capital, because during this period of time, the Ming army completely controlled Nanyang, and their business could not be opened.

Many people now come to Batam to wash their hands.

Many people have bought the newly developed seaside courtyard in the north of Batam Island.

According to the dentist who sold the other courtyard.

Some of the other courtyards here will be rewarded to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and a small school of heroes will be built at that time, and they will live here. In the future, my son's classmates will all be dignitaries and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty.
Attracted many rich men to make a decision behind Ming Yuan's back.

It's selling like crazy.

To be honest, even gold wealth is a little bit exciting.

"What? Can't do it?" Vicente frowned.

Huang Jincai quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not that we can't do it, just change hands a few more times. The key is this"

Jin Cai made a gesture of counting money,

"Here, as long as you have money, you can do anything."

"Of course, but you have to convert it into Ming Yuan first and open an account at Chris Bank."

"Exchanging Mingyuan? This is a big deal, isn't it just giving Niming money for nothing?"

"No way, if you want to do business in Nanyang, you can't do it without sending money to King Ming."

Gold fortune.

At this moment, a servant knocked on the door.

"Boss, Rodriguez Taipan is visiting."
