The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 227 Involvement
Get rid of the water problem soon.

There are many foreigners doing business here in Jiashan.

People with a special foreign trade department went to meet them.

A small number of foreigners who come here can speak Chinese.Knowing a foreign language is a basic skill for those who travel far and wide to do business.

Most people in the foreign trade department can speak foreign languages.

A business manager from the Ministry of Foreign Trade came to entertain us.

The manager has a big burden, and this time he is in the clothing business.

The manager spoke very fluent English: "Everyone, I believe you already know about our Chinese silks, and some of you may have heard of these clothes. I am doing business with you. These styles are the most fashionable at the moment, take a look."

Not only clothes, but also lipstick was taken out.

I believe these Westerners will like these things.Westerners already like it, and now it’s a finished product.

Sure enough, several people gathered around to look very curiously.

They are from other places and are cooperating with others.Silk porcelain and tea, all of them have their own partners, and even cooperate with the government.I came here this time because Jiashan has a great reputation, so I came to see it specially.

Wanted to see if it would make any difference.

Mainly doing silk trading.

The person from the Ministry of Foreign Trade brought the clothes over.

Jiashan currently has a great reputation, but these foreigners still don’t know much about it.

Several people were holding the clothes and lipstick and looking at it.

Looking at the style and feeling the texture, I praised it, it is indeed a good thing.

"How much does it cost Mr. Manager?"

Manager: "The rouge costs two dollars a box, and the clothes cost five dollars a set."

Basically, there is no increase in the price. Whether it is foreigners or Chinese, the selling price is almost the same.

Foreigners also think it's a bit expensive. Although they make money, the cycle is too long.

Sea shipping is faster, but the taxes are a bit high, especially for their Westerners.

The cost of shipping a shipment back is too high.

But there are still people doing it, and it’s profitable.

"Mr. Manager, isn't the price too expensive?"

The Westerner shook his head. Although the stuff was good, he felt it was too expensive.Taxes and shipping costs cannot be reduced. It would be good if they do not increase. Then we can only look at the purchase cost to see if the price can be reduced.

Manager: "Dear gentlemen, we sincerely do business with you. The price is the same as usual, and even a little discount. In this way, you may not think it is expensive if you look at these models again. .”

He took out a small piece of cloth, "Look at this underwear style."

The manager made gestures with his hands and explained in detail. Everyone was an adult and could understand.

Sure enough, those foreigners were all wondering whether this product would be popular in their own countries.Touched the texture, very good.

All are novel styles.

This thing, in China, is not very easy to sell outside of Jiashan.

It's different when selling to foreigners. They have to be more open.

Two more models were taken out, one type of underwear and one type of stockings.

There are also various styles.

Ordinary salesmen feel a little embarrassed when carrying these things.

The manager is different. He can also boast and explain the functions and materials of these things clearly in English and Chinese.

"Well, Mr. Manager, you are a great designer."

Several Westerners couldn't put it down and held these products.

They are sure that these items will sell well after being brought to their own country.

"I didn't design it."

"Mr. Manager, what's the price of these?"

Manager: "Same thing, five oceans."

Compared with clothing, the process of underwear, panties and stockings is much simpler and saves fabric.

These items are all made of the finest silk and feel absolutely silky to the touch.

Clothing and other things can be imitated, and rouge and lipstick are the most difficult to imitate. After incorporating some future skills, no matter how imitated they are, they usually cannot surpass them.Silk is very popular among foreigners.

"Five dollars, deal, I want it."

Several other people placed large orders.

They are very good businessmen and have a keen sense of the market, knowing that these items will definitely cause a trend when they are shipped back to China.And some people are already doing it.

After a while, the deal was settled, and they had a great time talking.

The businessman is very good at chatting, and after finishing the business, he started talking nonsense with the manager.

The manager who goes back and forth can handle it.

Jiangxi.

"How do you sell this? How much does it cost per set?"

Salesperson: "Ten taels of silver."

"So expensive."

"Excellent value for money. Jiashan sells what we have in the whole capital. You can try the effect."

"Give me two sets."

Seeing that the lady was not short of money, she generously dropped 20 taels of silver.

The profits are huge.

Many products in Jiashan have begun to be sold outside.

There are many expensive ones and many low-cost ones.

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you and come back often."

The boxes in which the clothes are packaged are also quite delicate.

Anyway, the style is very high.

The items inside often cost more than one tael of silver, which is not something ordinary people can come in and spend.

Jiangxi is the closest.

There are many mountains here.

The more mountains there are, the more bandits there will be.

Suppress bandits, there is a group of big bandits here in Pengze.The entire county is helpless. If they go, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.We still have to solve the armament problem ourselves, and no one wants to do this job.

I tried several times, but to no avail.

The Jiashan New Army has some connections with the generals here, and there was a connection with Banlangen more than ten years ago.

"Everyone, I just received the order. We have taken on the task of eliminating bandits. After training for so long, it's time to practice our skills. Otherwise, you all don't know what your own strength is. This time's destination is Pengze, the bandits. It’s brutal, but that’s for others, and for us, that’s merit. Without further ado, let’s rest for an hour and then set off.”

As soon as the captain finished speaking, everyone's eyes were very hot. They were all confident, even a little arrogant.The treatment given here was great, including food and drink, but it was a pity that it took too long and ended up not fighting a single battle, just training.

Some of the first batch of commandos were older, some were 40 years old.

If he doesn't win a beautiful battle, he feels a little sorry for the captain.I'm not even interested in fighting bandits, I want to try foreigners.

One hundred men and one hundred horses organized all the armaments.Got all the equipment.Start a long journey.

It takes almost two days and two nights to get to Pengze County.

The bandits over there are too arrogant and do things a bit too much, otherwise Magistrate Pengze would not be worried.

Everyone was in a happy mood, as if this time they were going for a sightseeing tour instead of killing enemies.

"I wonder how many bandits there are this time? Hundreds? Thousands of people? My gun hasn't been fired for a while, but I can see blood this time."

His eyes shone with a desire to fight bandits.

Those who are capable are eager to fight, because only in this way can they perform effectively.Able to be promoted.

In ten years, there have been too many bandits in Jiaxin.

Even if there are still some who are very timid.

100 people marched tirelessly all night.My mood was agitated, and I wanted to kill the bandits.

"Why do you want us to kill the bandits over there?"

"This is what the Lord of the Palace told me to leave more bandits with the Jiangxi General Soldier so that we can practice."

Two days later, we arrived at Pengze City in the evening.

The hundreds of war horses made a lot of noise, and the people in the city were a little panicked, thinking they were bandits.

"Who is under the city?" The guards guarding the city also thought they were horse bandits, and it was already evening, so it was easy for people to misunderstand.

When I looked carefully, I realized that the captain and the others were all wearing military uniforms and were soldiers.

The captain said loudly: "Jiashan New Army, open the city gate quickly." "Open the city gate and let people in."

The city guards were shocked to see the captain and his military discipline. This is the army in the capital, and it is really different from others.

The county magistrate came to receive him in person.

Very eagerly: "Generals, you have come all the way. Thank you for your hard work. I am here to help you."

Captain: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's official business and we've been ordered to do something. Just tell us about the situation of the bandits, and we'll deal with them quickly."

The county magistrate looked at the captain and the others. Although they were very powerful, the number was still a little small, about a hundred people.

There are several hundred people in the new army of city guards and yamen in their county, but they can do nothing to deal with the bandits.He doesn't think that the captain and the others are better than him.

County magistrate: "Sir, will the number of soldiers you brought here be a little short?"

Captain: "The troops are good but not many. It's enough for me."

Since the captain said this, the county magistrate did not persuade him anymore, but he was a little worried.

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, maybe Jiashan's army is more powerful.Seeing them riding one by one felt unusual.

Everyone has a rifle, a pistol, and a fine dagger, as well as grenades, and other combat tools.

The county magistrate quickly told the captain about the situation of the bandits.

They knew where the bandits were, but that mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It would be difficult to win without ten times the military strength.It may even come back without success.

Bandits are fierce, with hundreds of people.

And there are hundreds of people in the county that can fight.

It is impossible to attack the mountain by force.

Only huddled in the city.

These bandits are also smart.It was just a disturbance, not a large-scale attack on the city, so everything was fine.

Everyone had a quick meal.

The captain ordered: "Everyone starts now and goes to bed immediately. In three hours, we will start taking action."

Three hours later it happens to be midnight, the time when people are most sleepy.Most of the commando training is the special operations ability of assault and beheading.

Very punctual.

Exactly three hours later, everyone woke up.

Three hours is enough to recharge your batteries.

Everyone is full of energy, like wolves and tigers, and the knives in their hands want to be stained with blood.

This county magistrate is quite competent, and he wakes up together with the captain and others.

"General, the road ahead is dangerous. You must be more careful."

The county magistrate is not very optimistic about it. The number of people is not as good as that of the mountain bandits. How can they do this?

I asked the captain if he wanted support, and there were hundreds of people in their city.

Rejected by the captain.

This time it was a sneak attack, and there were advantages to being small in number. There are a lot of 100 people, and each of the commandos can be as good as ten.The bandits just took advantage of the location.

They have been training together for several years and have a very good understanding. If another army joins in, there will inevitably be other details.On the contrary, it's a bit more confusing.

Go to the mountain.

There is only one road, and the other side is a cliff, tens of meters high.

The mountain wall is very smooth and it is impossible to climb up.

But the captain led the people to the foot of the mountain wall.

They all don't quite understand.

"Captain, we can't get up here."

At a height of tens of meters, the stone wall was very smooth and had no stress points. Although they had specially practiced rock climbing, it was impossible to climb up in this situation.

The captain said, "Give me the rope."

I took over several ropes from them.

Several ropes were tied to form one.The length is almost enough.

One end was tied around his waist, and the other end was asked to be held by them.

"Captain, what do you want?"

"It's too dangerous, Captain. This kind of cliff is the most troublesome if you can't get back down halfway."

They all thought this was impossible and tried to dissuade the captain from doing so.

They entered from the road.

The captain said nonchalantly: "I have to give it a try. A sneak attack from here can achieve better results. I've been rock climbing since I was a child. This seems a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. I'll give it a try."

Say no more to them and start climbing up.

Smooth indeed.

The captain used the effect of the dagger to plunge into the rocks and soil, and slowly went up with some other rock climbing equipment.

It took less than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. It was relatively steady and took more time.

The people below were stunned, they were so awesome.

"Captain, are you flying?"

"The captain comes from a martial arts family. He specializes in light kung fu."

The captain on the mountain found a crooked neck tree.

He took off the rope from his waist, tied it to the tree, and wrapped it around it several times.

After tugging hard a few times, it seemed to be firm.

Throw the rope down.

After the mocking bird called, the people below heard the command and began to climb up one by one.

This is also a necessary item for training. With the rope, it is not difficult for them.

The rope is also specially made, and it can bear the weight of dozens of people climbing at one time.

After a while, everyone reached the top of the mountain.

The captain ordered: "From this moment on, no one is allowed to speak, all is in sign language."

Use sign language for closer distances.

If the distance is further away, or if it is difficult to see clearly, the sound of birds will be used to indicate.

Start going down the mountain and head directly towards the bandit's base camp.

There may also be bandits' secret sentries or patrols on the road.But from the cliff, no one was found at all.

No bandit would think of guarding this side.

high speed.

Soon we found the bandit's lair.

No sound was made.

When he touched someone, he just covered his mouth and stabbed him with a knife, killing the person without making any sound.

Keep digging inside, basically dozens of people have been assassinated.

I touched the place where the bandits slept.

Hundreds of people crept in.

The bandits were all sleeping soundly.They don't expect anyone to come to them.

One person can handle two or three.

He closed his mouth and told them to die in their sleep.

Although he was very cautious, he still made some noise.

"There are enemies."

A shout startled the remaining people who were still sleeping.

At this time, most of the bandits were dead.

They were confused for a while, not knowing where these people came from.

The disheveled man touched it out.

Everyone was in a dazed state, as if they hadn't woken up.

They all touched weapons.Start facing the enemy.

Not prepared enough, too hasty.

Basically, he was stabbed to death with a dagger as soon as he touched the weapon without even wearing any clothes.

The mountains were filled with rivers of blood.
