The southern territory of Daqian, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province.
It is three thousand miles away from Shenjing Chang'an.
Standing in the south of Xiangshan County, looking at the sea, you can see an island 100 meters away.
Five or six miles from east to west, half from north to south, there are two bays in the north and south, and you can park boats.
Or said north and south two bays, round like a mirror, so called Hao mirror.
In later generations, it was called Macao.
In addition to the Han people on the island, there are many red-haired foreigners who come and go.
This is rarely seen in Daqian.
And looking at the leisurely and complacent looks of these red-haired Yangyi, they obviously did not regard Haojing as a foreign land.
Also, long before the founding of the Great Qian, or in the former Song Dynasty, these red-haired Yangyi borrowed the island in the name of borrowing to dry.
After the establishment of the country, Hongmao Yangyi paid a "rent" of 500 taels of silver every year, and lived here more and more justifiably.
The government on the island often accepts bribes from him, and when he encounters problems, he turns a blind eye.
For more than 100 years, the existence of Hongyi has become commonplace.
Foreign ships berthed back and forth, and many Western goods entered the customs since then.
The island is lined with warehouses and merchants from all over the province.
There are so many people coming and going, so when a few new unfamiliar faces appear on the island, it doesn't attract much attention.
Hao Jing, R&F Foreign Company.
There were five people standing in the foreign bank, three Han Chinese, and two Hongyi.
It was already early afternoon, and the busiest peak period of foreign banks had passed.
The staff of the foreign bank, who had been busy for most of the day, looked a little tired.
Leaning against the counter or leaning against the wall to rest At this moment, the door suddenly darkened, and everyone looked up, and saw three living people coming in from outside.
It seems that they are all extraordinary.
Although there are middle-aged, youthful, and juvenile among the three.
The Han employees hurriedly greeted them and asked with a smile: "Three guest officers, I don't know what you want, we have Western Oceans in R&F Foreign Bank."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the middle-aged man say in a deep voice: "Gao Liliang and Chen Ranke are here" The other four foreign bank employees looked at each other when they heard these two names, and the Han employees asked cautiously, "I don't know who the three of you are."
The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, "We are their friends, old friends." ” Seeing that the staff hesitated, the young man who had not spoken spoke and said, "You told Chen Ran that a friend surnamed Jia had come to visit him. ” When the clerk heard this, he looked at the young man, and saw that he was extremely handsome, but not frivolous, and his bearing was serious, which should not be underestimated, so he nodded and turned into it.
After a while, I heard a "scream" from inside.
Then I saw a thin figure jumping out of the back door, covered in oil, and his face looked like another world well-known "Ma Dad", as soon as this person came out, he looked at the young man among the three, and "screamed", pounced, and bluffed everyone.
"Hehehe."
The boy chuckled when he saw his old friend.
He opened his hand and hugged the young man who rushed over.
"Qingchen" "Zichuan, I haven't seen you for a year, but I'm fine" Two teenagers, one is Jia Cong, who should be on the canal floor, and the other should be Chen Ran Chen Zichuan, who is studying in Chang'an, the capital.
More than a year ago, before Jia Cong set out on the expedition, he arranged for Chen Zichuan, who was obsessed with heavenly work, to come here.
"Oh Jia, it's really you, you're finally here" Before the two old friends could catch up, they heard a cheer of surprise from the small door behind them, and saw a tall Yangyi squeezing out of the small door and greeted him with a smile.
Jia Cong first patted Chen Ran's back, who was still holding him excitedly, and after the two let go, Jia Cong sneered at Chen Ran, and Fang and the tall Yangyi hugged their fists and said hello: "Mr.
Fasen, hello." ” This Yangyi is the foreigner who cooperated with Jia Cong and retrieved the ancestral treasure from Wang Xifeng, named Gao Liliang De Fasen.
Hearing Jia Cong's words, Gao Liliang laughed a few times in a loud voice, and said, "Jia, it's great to see you again."
You big guys always call me Gao, God, can't they call me by my last name, you are getting more and more handsome."
With that, I opened my hands and wanted a hug.
Jia Cong smiled and took a half step back, shook his head and said, "Mr.
Fasen, you are too enthusiastic, do you have a quiet quiet room, I think we can catch up." ” Gao Liliang put away his hands with a dry smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then come with me, I invite you to drink authentic Françaine black tea and sweet sausages." ” Gao Liliang squeezed in through the small door again.
Jia Cong and his entourage followed inside.
"Zichuan, how are you doing?"
After arriving at a quiet hall at the back, after Gao Liliang went to prepare black tea and snacks in person, Jia Cong asked again.
Chen Ran looked at his old friend's calm and indifferent gaze with concern, and smiled happily: "Although I have suffered a lot at the beginning, I am getting more and more used to it now."

Qingchen, you are right, this place is indeed suitable for me, Yangyi has many obscene and ingenious skills, and it is really far better than Daqian.
But he shook his head and said: "It's not entirely like this, I have such strange books as heavenly creations, and many skills are not inferior to Fanyi, but unfortunately, there are too few people to learn, it is difficult to become a climate, and no one inherits it, so it is getting more and more backward." ” Jia Cong chuckled and patted Chen Ran's shoulder, and said, "With people like you, we always have hope, and now I am a little bit powerful, and I will try my best to support you."
After these two months, it is all a matter of your words to ask for money and people. ” Chen Ran's face was faintly complicated when he heard this, but after all, he was still grateful, looked at Jia Cong and said: "Although your husband Song Changong intercedes, but the family is still annoyed, if I can't break into the famous hall, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the ancestral hall if I die."
Qingchen, it's all up to you. ” Jia Cong nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, in less than ten years, people who look down on you will definitely regret their short-sightedness."
Zichuan, you have helped me a lot, and I will not live up to you. ” Chen Ran waved his hand again and again when he heard this, regained his spirit, and scolded with a smile: "You don't put gold on your face, it's because I like this myself, I love this, so I casually asked your idea to come here."
I haven't thanked you for letting Song Changong intercede for my father, what does it have to do with you?"
After Jia Cong smiled, he asked, "How is it, has this year's hard work yielded results?"
Chen Ran nodded and said, "Small objects such as pocket watches can already be repaired."
We are afraid that it is not possible to make it ourselves, the steel cannot be rolled, and the gears are also difficult.
As for firearms, it's simpler, but we still have to learn more."
At this point, he saw Jia Cong and a middle-aged young man he didn't know behind him all solemn.
Chen Ran no longer hesitated, and said in a low voice: "In the past year, foreign banks have secretly traded with foreign ships that come and go, and a total of twenty-six short firearms and forty-eight long firearms have been purchased at a high price, as well as a number of sub-medicines.
There is a workshop for building and repairing firearms, and I often go there to watch, and the craftsmanship is not difficult.
If you really want to imitate it, it's not impossible.
It's just a Qing minister, this thing must not be kept privately, it's a big crime."
Jia Cong's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he quickly calculated in his heart, and after a little effort, he smiled at Chen Ran, who was full of worry and concern: "It's okay, now I have asked Your Majesty to get the will to reinstate the firearms battalion Zichuan, and now I am the commander of the Jinyi pro-army, and I am ordered to go south and rebuild the Jinyi Guard."
So, you don't have to worry about righteousness, and you don't have to be in a hurry, and you have to think about firearms skills thoroughly."
When Chen Ran heard this, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't expect that after only a year, his classmate and friend, who was amazingly talented and glamorous in the Guozijian back then, actually became the commander of the Jinyi pro-army But can that pair of hands that can be written and clear, can they hold the embroidered spring knife?
Chen Ran couldn't figure out what the one in the palace thought Before he could understand, he saw the tall foreigner Gao Liliang coming over with a large tray.
In addition to the exquisite Fanbang silver teapot and a stack of red sausages, there is also a wooden box.
Chen Ran helped put the teapot and teacup away, and Gao Liliang held the wooden box with a proud face, and said to Jia Cong: "Jia, guess what, what is this?"
Jia Cong sighed and said, "Flintlock pistol" The smug momentum on Gao Liliang's face froze, and he sighed: "You are really too shrewd" Jia Cong smiled and said, "I can't think of anything else, it can't be the cookies baked by your grandmother."
Gao Liliang's laughter is a little low, and when he hears this dry joke, people who can laugh have a sore ear.
After laughing, he opened the wooden box as if offering a treasure, revealing that the treasure inside was indeed a short gun.
It looks about a foot long, and the grip is made of black walnut wood, which is very bright after being oiled.
The long barrel, firing lock, hammer and fire sickle all look very delicate, and the primer disc and front sight are made of brass Jia Cong picked up the firearm, looked at it carefully, took out the gun that was stuck in the gun and looked at it and put it down, and then stretched out his hand to the side, Gao Liliang and Chen Ran didn't even see it clearly, Jia Cong had another firearm in his hand, which looked longer and older than the firearm that Gao Liliang had placed, but it was still roughly the same.
Placing both firearms on the table, Jia Cong picked up the new ones and disassembled them little by little.
After carefully inspecting each part, it was quickly reassembled.
After nodding, he handed the firearm to the young man next to him.
The young man also disassembled and reassembled the firearm without being unfamiliar.
Seeing this scene, whether it was Gao Liliang or Chen Ran, their eyelids were faintly jumping.
Because no matter how you look at it, the person in front of you doesn't look like a good stubble Half an hour later, Jia Cong looked at Gao Liliang with a satisfied look on his face and said solemnly: "Mr.
Fasen, thank you for your intentions, if the firearms in your hands are all of such quality, then I am very satisfied."
And I hope that our transaction will continue and expand. ” Gao Liliang was both happy and worried when he heard this, and said: "Jia, as far as I know, your country does not allow citizens to carry firearms at will, and the consequences are extremely severe."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Mr.
Fasen, I have obtained the qualification to legally possess firearms, and I promise that there will be no problem." ” Gao Liliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked again: "Is it still the price this time?"
Jia Cong smiled, lowered his eyes and nodded, and said, "As long as the things are good, silver is not a problem." ” Gao Liliang patted his chest and promised: "There will definitely be no problem." ” When Jia Cong heard this, he stood up, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms under the surprised eyes of Gao Liliang and Chen Ran, and then said to Gao Liliang: "Then deliver the goods now, I'm in a hurry, I'll leave today."
When it's safe over there, please be a guest with Zichuan.
In addition, you can continue to receive the goods, and I will send someone to pick them up in three months at the latest. ” Gao Liliang and Chen Ran shouted in unison: "It's so urgent" :
