The First Evolution

Latest website:

It is human nature to watch the excitement and listen to gossip. Now is no longer the era of literary prison.

After leaving Bj City, anecdotes about princes, nobles and even the palace were often published in newspapers and periodicals, and then processed by storytellers, circulated in teahouses everywhere, and then continued to ferment and spread.

Even when the late emperor died at the age of nineteen, many rumors spread, saying that this emperor liked to travel incognito most, and that he was doing a shortened version of Qianlong's expedition to the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, it was just to visit the major brothels in the capital.

Whether it's the beauties from the North or the rouge from the South, they are Tongzhi's favorites.

As a result, during this process, the emperor's living habits were not very good and he liked to travel lightly. As a result, he contracted syphilis and died.

Of course, this must be a rumor, and even space has begun to wonder whether this is true or not, so relevant milestones are given.

It can also be seen from this that after the Qing Dynasty experienced the Taiping Rebellion and the devastation of the Opium War, both its prestige and its control over the people were actually very weak.

Most of the anecdotes about the emperors of the Qing Dynasty came out during this time period, including but not limited to the following:

Xiaozhuang sleeps with Hong Chengchou, Dorgon takes over his sister-in-law, Shunzhi becomes a monk in Wutai Mountain, Kangxi passes the throne to his fourteenth son, Lu Siniang becomes a concubine and assassinates Yongzheng, the secret of Emperor Qianlong's life experience, etc.

By the way, the emperor in the comedy Ninth Grade Sesame Official is actually the alluded to Tongzhi.

This is also the backlash caused by the Qing Dynasty’s literary inquisition. Just as the oppression and massacre were brutal, the scholars in the future will be able to write more obscenely!

Precisely because the world is like this, the two soldiers were instantly treated like second-tier stars. They were watched by a group of people, and some people even took the initiative to settle their accounts. Such direct economic stimulation made these two soldiers He became more and more motivated and started to foam at the mouth.

At this time, Fang Linyan also knew their official identities: Yiding of the inn.

More than two hundred years ago, their colleagues successfully destroyed the last vitality of the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of it.

Because there are no airplanes now, but there are foreign steamships, most officials in the south at this time first took a boat to Tianjin Port, and then from Tianjin to the capital.

Therefore, being in an important transportation area like Tianjin Wei, when the two of them are busy with business, they have to welcome and escort several groups of officials, and they also have to serve countless lords, so their experience is indeed extraordinary, from the mouths of these two guys What you say is persuasive.

So, when the two postmen finished their breakfast and left, Fang Linyan had been waiting for a few minutes. He smiled and handed over a bunch of copper coins, and then said:

"I'm just going to delay you two brothers for a little while. I just want to inquire about something. Have you heard of this master?"

Then a name came out of Fang Linyan's mouth. The two postmen looked at each other, first took the sling of copper coins, and then shook their heads and said:

"Have not heard."

The postman's answer was completely within Fang Linyan's expectation, because the official he was looking for was from Sichuan. When he usually went to Beijing, he would not go to Shanghai first and then go to Tianjin in such a big circle.

So Fang Linyan once again launched a money offensive, this time it was more than one ingot and two taels of silver. Measured by current values, it was about four thousand yuan, which was a small fortune for the two postmen.

Fang Linyan waved the silver in front of the two of them, and then said:

"If it's convenient for you two brothers, help me find a copy of Jin Shen's Book. This will be considered as my book purchase price."

Jin Shen Lu is a national official record published by bookstores in the old days. It records the place of origin, resume, etc. of each official. It is still useful for officials, but it has no market for ordinary people, so Circulation is very low.

However, for the inn staff who have to deal with officials every day, it is a must-have item.

The two men looked at each other,

The older one whispered:

"Then you need money first."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the silver that Fang Linyan took out. However, Fang Linyan calmly gave in and let him grab it. Then he broke off a third of the silver ingot:

"This is the deposit..."

Seeing Fang Linyan calmly showing off his strength, the two postmen immediately gave up some of their inappropriate thoughts. The most outstanding people they had ever seen were squeezing hard walnuts and pulling silver ingots. Somewhat incredible.

So soon, a rolled-up Jin Shen Lu was handed into Fang Linyan's hands.

Fang Linyan immediately started flipping through the pages impatiently, then quickly stopped, with a smile on his lips, and said to himself:

"Sure enough, you are still here!"

Having said this, Fang Linyan took a deep breath, with a look of anticipation in his eyes:

"How can xx be a creature in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm. You, who were originally unknown, retired sadly because you had no chance and died in depression!"

"But now, I'm going to give you this opportunity!"

After confirming the existence of this person in this world, Fang Linyan immediately called up the previous selection menu.

Yes, it was the brand-new menu where you could choose your identity and start with xxx as soon as you arrived. Then Fang Linyan decisively chose option d: the young master of Zhejiang merchants!

Suddenly, a large amount of information poured into Fang Linyan's mind. At the same time, a beam of light shrouded it, and his face and height began to change:

He closed his eyes and opened them after more than ten seconds. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said to himself:

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Now Fang Linyan has been assigned an official identity. His surname is Hu and his name is Hu Zhiyun. Not only that, but the key point is that he is also a direct descendant of a huge business family. This business world was very glorious and powerful just more than ten years ago. How powerful is it?

To give just two examples, he was able to help sign contracts with foreign banks for loans that the Qing government could not handle. The loan amount was a terrifying eighteen million taels of silver.

Another example is that the trophies and silver rewards obtained by the Hunan Army must be deposited in his bank.

China's first ship, the "Wannianqing", was also manufactured by this family.

His business has even grown so big that he can be called the richest man in China, and the reason for his family's decline is actually the start of a large-scale Sino-foreign business war related to raw silk with foreigners in Shanghai! More than 20 million taels of silver were consumed.

In the end, losing this business war was a non-war crime. The reason was the great raw silk harvest in Italy, the outbreak of the Sino-French war, and the financial crisis.

However, the core figure of the Hu family at that time, Fang Linyan's third uncle, had been dead for several years. Even the great supporter of the Hu family's officialdom has died long ago.

Moreover, after the business war ended, the Hu family was also dismissed by the imperial court and their homes were confiscated. Fortunately, it was only the third uncle of the Hu family who was responsible for the search, so it gave them a little chance to make a comeback.

It's just that in the past few years, the Hu family's personal connections have gradually withered away, and they are as intangible as mist. People say that centipede insects can die without being stiff, but at this time, the Hu family was only a short distance away from being stiff and lying flat.

More importantly, connections are usually linked to strength. If you are rich and powerful, of course the sedan chair will carry you, and those who can help will just raise their hands and pass. But if you don’t have power or money, maybe people will regard you as a fat pig.

Of course, without money or influence, 99% of the connections will automatically expire.

Now Fang Linyan, the Sixth Young Master, has a heavy burden on his shoulders. The Hu family knew very well that there were people in the court who wanted to be officials, so they asked him to bring a huge sum of money to befriend Li Meng, an official in Jinan, Shandong.

In fact, this official is very unhappy in his current position and will soon retire from his current position. He will be demoted one level and sent to Deqing County, next door to Hangzhou, to serve as a general judge.

Why did the Hu family send their young master all the way to curry favor with such a depressed and unlucky official? It's nothing more than three words "burning the cold stove".

The Hu family felt that the official's backer would soon gain power, and Li Meng was probably just temporarily unlucky, so he went to help him in times of need. This was also the old routine used by the Hu family to gain momentum.

Of course, everything under the sun is full of variables. Everyone can do something like burning a cold stove, but the variables are huge. The highest probability is that the money was given away and the person was flattered, but this person couldn't get up at all.

Another variable is that the investment officials are thick-faced and mean-spirited. Even if they gain power again, they will immediately turn their backs on others.

At this time, Fang Linyan felt that the Hu family's vision was very problematic. For example, the Li Meng who wanted to invest now was originally impeached for corruption. Such people must have a lot of appetite.

And according to Hu Zhiyun's previous investigation, there is no lower limit for what he can do. In order to plunder, he even forced the lives of five or six people, including two believers of foreign religions.

At this time, the officials of the Qing Dynasty had been frightened by the two Opium Wars. As long as they heard about things involving foreigners, they would always favor the foreigners to investigate and deal with them regardless of the facts, so Li Mengcai was in bad luck.

In Fang Linyan's eyes, if you have the power, it is not difficult to make money. A truly capable official can even benefit the local people while making money.

Li Meng, for example, is a typical greedy, incompetent and cruel person. Investing in him is like throwing money in the water, without even a chance to make a sound. Therefore, the situation of the Hu family is still very bad since the third uncle is gone. It's just that the person at the helm is not very discerning.

However, the fly in the ointment is that Fang Linyan also received a reminder: It is said that it was because he chose this character's identity too late, and some side effects occurred.

Because Hu Zhiyun's true self had been hit on the head by a robber while walking at night yesterday evening, and he was unconscious until now. If Fang Linyan did not choose this identity, he would probably die within a few minutes.

Even so, part of the soul has disappeared by now, so the character's relevant memories of the past have been lost.

But for Fang Linyan, this is not a big problem. He feels that Hu Zhiyun is really lucky. He managed to save a life. After he leaves this world, he can still inherit what he left to him, and he will be able to live in glory. of surviving.

Fang Linyan calculated the dates. The official start of the Sino-Japanese War was July 25th, and today is July 18th. If the current backward information dissemination speed is taken into account, then he still has seven or eight days to proceed. Strategize.

Now that he has determined his goal in this world, and his life experience has basically remained unchanged, Fang Linyan has basically determined that the focus of his next work is to make money, because the next step he is going to take is a deviant one, and if he doesn’t have money, he will But no.

At this time, Fang Linyan touched the corner of his clothes, and he could clearly feel the extra thickness there, because there were three banknotes sewn inside, totaling ten thousand taels of silver, one of which was five thousand taels, and one of which was 5,000 taels. There is one for three thousand taels and one for two thousand taels.

This is the fund that the family entrusted to Fang Linyan before leaving. In addition, the family will also add additional money depending on Fang Linyan's performance.

This is because although the Hu family is now in decline, there is still one pillar industry that can still barely survive, and that is the medicine store left over from its heyday, which has branches in BJ, Jinan, Tianjin and other places.

The Hu family's medicine store once rivaled Tongrentang. Even now, Fang Linyan, the sixth young master, has the right to withdraw corresponding money in some major cities in the north.

For a businessman, it is definitely much more difficult to earn 10,000 yuan from one dollar than to earn 1 million yuan from 10,000 yuan. Once you get there, you can get a large amount of principal without any trouble. This is why Fang Linyan chose Hu The most important identity of the young master of the family.

Afterwards, Fang Linyan had a good meal and began to inquire about the corresponding cargo market in Tianjin. After collecting some information, he then went to the developed port area to ask questions. After getting a feel for it, he went directly to Tianjin. Lu Zhuangzi's treasure bureau.

Where is this treasure bureau? In fact, it is a casino. In other places like casinos, there is a mix of dragons and snakes. Almost nine out of ten gambles and cheats. However, the treasure games here in Tianjin really have a lot of rules. They are among the first places where casinos in China were formalized. One of them.

Of course, before arriving at Luzhuangzi, Fang Linyan simply found a secluded place and used the Spiritual Speaking Technique. After a simple communication with Evelina, a man was summoned.

After the emerald green light disappeared, the man opened his eyes, then half-kneeled and saluted Fang Linyan:

"Lord Knight, I am Judy Laurent. It is an honor to serve you."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"You should know what I need this time, right? Mainly good at gambling." For the fastest update and error-free reading, please visit the mobile phone:
