"This...that necklace is still on my son. It is his only life-saving charm."

Ivan was suddenly in a dilemma. The necklace was bound to his son's life, and he did not dare to take it off easily.

"Then there's nothing we can do, Mr. Irwin."

Yue Zhenshan is not an enthusiastic savior who would take the initiative to save a foreigner unconditionally, but he is also the descendant of Spanish invaders who killed countless people.

Chapter 95 Finally arrived in Shanghai

"Lord Extraordinary One, I can bring my son to the east and let you check it yourself."

“In addition, I, the Hernan family, are willing to be your Lord’s guardian knights for the rest of our lives.

Please give me a chance, I will prove my worth, and the Hernan family will become your most loyal subordinates. "

Ain has been wandering at sea for more than 20 years, so he naturally understands what Yue Zhenshan means every day! Book, group [6`5,0/5^0”2*3\u003e3.8].

So he increased the stakes without hesitation. If the agreement could not be reached, it was because there were not enough chips.

If there is anything else that the other party needs, perhaps it is only his own life and the honor of the Hernan family.

In the Western world, if you choose to become a family knight, you are a warrior of another family.

From now on, you can only fight for the master of the family. The glory of a knight lies in loyalty.

"Um!?"

"Mr. Irwin, I heard that you were once in the Royal Navy. How are your sailing skills?"

The navy is a technical job. Yue Zhenshan can expand the army through armaments, but the navy is his shortcoming. Now Westerners have opened up routes across the four oceans, but here in China, the most powerful navigator must be Master Zheng, the super navigator of the previous dynasty.

In this way, it is necessary to attract outstanding Westerners in order to quickly develop its own maritime power.

"Sir, I have been to America, Africa, and Australia. I am very familiar with these routes."

"The only drawback is that it doesn't have the power to fight against the sea monsters of the deep."

"If you have the power to defeat the deep sea monster, then I can lead the fleet to any continent."

Ivan joined the British Royal Navy at the age of eighteen. He retired five years ago and later became a sailor and continued to wander at sea. He is more familiar with the ocean than the mainland. When he heard Yue Zhenshan's question, he immediately showed his greatest value. come out.

"As long as your sailing skills are adequate."

"Killing sea monsters requires the power of artillery and the action of extraordinary beings. If you can help me recruit enough navigators to form a complete fleet, then I can promise to teach you the training methods of knights (warriors). ”

"In addition, I will also find a way to solve the problem of your family's blood curse."

Let’s draw the pie first, let’s not talk about whether it can solve the blood curse.

First, let's deceive people. Ivan retired from the Royal Navy and asked him to contact the retired Royal Navy. By then, if we have fleets and ships, we can form a mature fleet, whether it is to become a maritime merchant by sea, or to form a The Navy needs them.

As for the issue of loyalty, it doesn't matter if you become an extraordinary person now.

Not to mention other things, at least the poisonous poison technique can control them, not to mention what kind of sect is Maoshan?

What Maoshan is good at is playing... He is good at catching ghosts and making some secrets on souls. How could he not have such a method?

Coupled with the rewards of money and fame, controlling these ghosts is not a big problem.

After negotiating the terms with Ai Wen, Yue Zhenshan left the room.

As a result, the dinner party outside had already started, and he happened to meet the paladin who fought together during the day. Under his guidance, Yue Zhenshan got to know the captain, first mate and others of the mail ship.

The crew members on the ship all knew that Yue Zhenshan was an extraordinary person, so they naturally respected him very much.

Although the power of China's country is very weak now, they knew from just the battle during the day that in the extraordinary world, China's extraordinary people are no better than those in the West. In a harmonious atmosphere, this dinner was very successful.

A battle with a sea monster will leave everyone alive feeling like they are surviving a disaster.

...

Three days later, the mail ship arrived in Shanghai.

This boat ride was a thrilling experience, and everyone felt relieved to be back on land again.

Only those who have drifted on the sea can appreciate the beauty of having feet on the ground. There is no need to worry about the bed being overturned when sleeping, no need to worry about sudden storms, and no need to worry about huge monsters suddenly appearing in the deep sea.

As soon as he stepped off the pier, Yue Zhenshan was shocked by the prosperity in front of him.

Shanghai has now become the economic center of the Far East, thanks to the emergence of public concessions. In the concessions, foreigners invest in public utilities, set up schools and newspapers, and the concession authorities are responsible for municipal construction and promulgate a series of administrative regulations for concession management. The concessions have also become It provides a window for Chinese people to understand and learn the system of Western culture.

Located at the mouth of the Yangtze River waterway, coupled with the warlords fighting in various parts of China at this time, the Shanghai Public Concession area has become the most prosperous place in the Far East.

The Shanghai Concession has not only attracted investment from many foreign businessmen and banks, but has also become the first choice for development of many Chinese businessmen.

The concession's total import and export volume has always accounted for more than half of the country's total.

At this time, there were many factories in the concession, accounting for almost half of the country. There were more than 10,000 shops in the concession.

Dozens of Chinese and foreign banks, as well as almost as many banks from Shanghai County and other places, make the capital operation and capital stock in the concession the largest financial center in the Far East, second only to London, Paris and New York.

The rows of buildings with various styles of various countries along the Huangpu River and the bustling city that never sleeps are all familiar to the Shanghai beach scene. They all happen in the concessions, especially the public concessions. It is for this reason that Shanghai has been nicknamed the "Paris of the East".

“It’s so sad that such a prosperous city exists only because of foreign management!!”

"The misfortune of the nation——"

"Brother Yue, our Renjia Town will be as prosperous as this in the future, right!!" Ren Tingting held Yue Zhenshan's arm, and seeing his complicated expression, she couldn't help but cheer him up.

"Haha, Tingting, you are right."

This world is much more exciting than the previous life. It contains not only science, but also supernatural learning. If he came to this world with a golden finger, how could he lose to the general trend of heaven? If he could not change the fate of this nation, then wouldn't he come to this world in vain?

Shanghai is prosperous, and Guangzhou will become its own territory from now on. Yue Zhenshan believes that Guangzhou will definitely not lose to Shanghai. When the time comes, we will see who has the last laugh. When the time comes, the "Paris of the East" built by these foreigners will become their own Oriental Magic City.

"Tingting, where does your cousin live?"

"How do we get to my cousin's house?"

The main purpose of coming to Shanghai this time is to meet Ren Zhuzhu and buy his grandfather (Music Zombie).

Yue Zhenshan didn't want to waste time. Don't go there too late. The zombies were eliminated by Uncle Jiu, and Ren Zhuzhu went back to the United States. Then his trip was in vain, and he would be at a loss for his grandma's family.

"My cousin's home is in Songjiang District, which is still sixty or seventy kilometers away from here."

"Uh... so far?"

"Then let's rest one night first and prepare two carriages before heading over."

It seems that it is already afternoon. There are no cars or subways now. It will take at least a day to get there for a distance of 60 to 70 kilometers. It is still more dangerous at night, so it is best to travel during the day.

Chapter 96 Crocodile Gang

“Wow, the pier in Shanghai is really lively!!”

As soon as she walked out of the pier, Ren Tingting was immediately surprised by the popularity of the Bund.

"This is natural. Look at Standard Chartered Bank over there, and Barclays Bank opposite it. They are all famous British banks. Shanghai is a location where not only the industry is developed, but also the financial industry is extremely developed.

There is also ocean trade, with Shanghai as the leader.

China's raw silk industry is basically distributed around Shanghai, and raw silk is one of China's main export commodities. The quality of raw silk is directly related to the sales price. This place creates a lot of profits every year.

Coupled with its proximity to the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, industrial products sold by foreign countries, such as textiles, can be dumped along the Yangtze River waterway to several inland provinces. Look at the dock over there. The goods sold by foreigners are transported to other places for sale by compradors to make profits. "

Following Yue Zhenshan's instructions, Ren Tingting saw hundreds of coolies at the dock carrying goods.

On the other side of the pier is the bustling concession area.

This place is like a flesh and blood workshop, devouring the fruits of labor of the Chinese people.

Prosperity and suffering are as inseparable as conjoined twins.

"Brother Yue, look at how strong that person is."

"Um!?"

"he is......"

Looking in the direction Ren Tingting pointed, Yue Zhenshan suddenly spotted a very familiar figure.

This guy was carrying four sacks, and the bulging sacks were not light.

The items inside are all miscellaneous grains. One sack weighs more than 100 kilograms, and four sacks weighs about 500 kilograms.

Next to him, there was a gang member who was paying the coolies who were delivering goods in the middle of the night.

After Yue Zhenshan walked in quietly, he found that the cargo transportation was finished and the coolies started queuing up to receive their wages.

"Brother Gang, others carry one sack at a time, but I carry four at a time."

"Look, my wages seem to be missing. What's going on?" A young coolie in his twenties discovered that the bookkeeper gave him the wrong amount of money, so he approached the gang leader to ask.

"Competition in the wharf business has been fierce recently. You are also working under the Crocodile Gang to make a living. Why don't you know how to share the burden for everyone? The less share is used to buy guys. If you don't have guys, how can you fight with other gangs.

If you can't keep the dock business, you hardworking people won't be able to find a place to work. Forget it if you don’t thank us, the Crocodile Gang, you’re so damn ignorant, do you want to go to the dock to make money next time? "

As he quietly approached this place, Yue Zhenshan looked more and more familiar. Aren't these two characters in Kung Fu?

The coolie is Ku Liqiang who was in the Pig Cage Walled City in the original work. Now he is no longer working as a coolie in the Pig Cage Walled City, but working as a coolie at the dock. If the time is followed, this guy will still be working as a coolie more than ten years later.
