C3513 Upper Beach (2/2)

In this era of great change, leave the Manchu a breath of life, a way out!

Year 1871, Tongzhi ten years, Golden Autumn's 6th September!

This day, the Shanghai could be said to be empty. Along the Huangpu River, there were many foreigners and commoners who were watching the show, and they all stretched their necks to look into the distance.

The Huangpu River had already cleared a route, and no ship dared to occupy the main channel today, so everyone was waiting anxiously.

”Could it be that the His Majesty is back?” Someone in the crowd asked anxiously.

”No …” The His Majesty will still need a few days, I heard that the Leader's advance party that went on an expedition to Europa to defeat the France's people has returned, and the first fleet to go back … ”

”Ouch …” The iron army that broke through Europa, we really have to experience it today. ”

”You haven't seen this, not only did you come to see the Iron Army, but you also want to see the money!” The first French war reparations were sent back! ”

”Didn't you notice that in the last two days, all the Chinese stocks and bonds have been increasing in price? ”The number of people who used the south ticket to exchange for cash has decreased by a lot …”

The crowd discussed animatedly. Since ancient times, news of important businesses and towns had all been well-informed, and people talked while looking at the Chinese Central Bank's bustling area. The six story tall bank was even more imposing than the foreign devil's bank.

It was bustling outside, and the Central Bank was also bustling with activity. The marble hall was filled with renowned merchants from Jiangnan. On the sixth floor's window, Fan Lian stood by the side of the window, looking at the boat on the Huangpu River.

”Why isn't he here yet, why isn't he here yet? Don't let anything happen to him …” old shopkeeper was really old, she was actually a little nagging, at the side, Liu Chouchu, Zhang Xiaowen, Zhang Xiaowen and the other Big Merchant all laughed and advised.

”When the ship enters the Huangpu River, it will definitely slow down. Don't worry, don't rush old shopkeeper …”

”Don't be anxious? How much effort did I put into stabilizing the people of Jiangnan? During the time that Xiao Letian went to Europe, I worked hard to maintain my confidence in the market.

”As long as he comes back, I will go back to my hometown to retire … ”No, I really have to rest!”

As one gets younger, Fan Lian actually spoke in a childish tone!

Don't blame old shopkeeper for his temper, his son-in-law had a character that does not care about the general direction he sets. He gave each of the people that he left behind a task to do, then turned around and ran over to Europa to eat and play, completely disregarding how difficult it was for the people that stayed behind.

Of course, old shopkeeper knew that his young master was panicking every step of the way in Europe, but the people left at home were not easy either!

The news of the war in Europe changed three times a day. Rumors flooded the market, and the market nearly collapsed three times a day. Lastly, Xiao Hexin had to take advantage of the chaos in Europe to quickly occupy the Luzon.

Spending money like water, Jiangnan's economy was almost completely drained, and in the end, the truth was that they had to rely on the news of victory to keep their lives on the line.

It had even almost caused a premeditated financial slaughter, forcing Sakamoto Ryoma to expose his authority in transferring troops!

Thinking about Mr. Ryoma, old shopkeeper suddenly turned his head and asked, ”Where is the Dragon Servant Monk?” Why haven't I seen him since yesterday? ”

”The monk said that he was going to cultivate in seclusion and pray for the leader's blessings... He was not involved in this liveliness, but the monk had also said that it would be fine if I just brought him a bottle of good wine at the banquet … ” Liu Chouchu said with a smile.

Sigh … old shopkeeper sighed, ”This is a truly capable person! What a pity, he was forced out of his family … ”Tsk tsk!”

Just as Fan Lian was lamenting, a surprised exclamation came from afar outside the bank building, followed closely by the roar of the tsunami.

”Coming …” Look, it's here... ”The ship is here …”
