Edo Traveler

At the same time, the three British warships docked in Yokohama were surrounded by practitioners of special Japanese industries. Every time a large foreign ship came over, these people rowed a small boat, approached the warship, and then shouted hello from below.

Uncle, come and play!

After fighting for more than half a year, what are the thoughts of the British soldiers who are usually stuck on the ship? The practitioners of special industries in Yokohama themselves have already established a certain reputation among the powers. Almost foreigners who have been to Yokohama know that the prices here in Japan are cheap, and the service awareness is very good.

As long as you can afford to go out, no matter what tricks and postures you propose, you can be satisfied. It just so happens that now the British army is up and down, all of them are rich.

A man, if he enters the Golden Cave, will not be able to hold the door. Except for Liu Xiahui, it can be said with certainty that there is no man who can enter this place and still sit still.

If you are eunuchs and eunuchs, that's another story.

After Elgin went to Edo, the British soldiers got permission to go on shore leave, and they all hugged, hugged, kissed, and were so happy.

Naturally, the things in their pockets must also leak out. And they don't know how to do it, so they can sell it for ten yuan or eight yuan. Anyway, the things they grab are like mountains and seas.

Unfortunately, Yokohama is an industrial and commercial port town built artificially in recent years, and there are no good pawnshops or antique shops. In addition, the British are uncles in Yokohama, which is related. Then Shigeru Nara came to him and asked him to find a few knowledgeable antique dealers to help the British soldiers exchange some gold.

You take a Qianlong vase and go to a special industry worker, but they may not want it. But if you brandish a small gold sentence, tonight you will be the big brother of the whole spring breeze boat.

"The foreigner asked you to buy antiques?" Chuemon had nothing to do today, and went to inspect the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. On the way home, he ran into Shigeru Nara, who was looking for him at home.

"Those pearls, jade, jade, gold and silver utensils, etc., can be bought immediately. It's just calligraphy, painting, porcelain, gold and bronze antiques, which can't be bought for a while." Of course, Shigeru Nara didn't come to complain to Chuemon.

He found a volume of the Song Dynasty's "Trademan", which looked very good, and the characters in the picture were also doing business, and the meaning was also very good to him, so he rushed over to give it to Zhongyouemon.

Say he doesn't understand calligraphy and painting, but the name "Song" is still very useful in Japan. If it is stained with "Tang", it will be even better. The Japanese respected this set of things from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

"A lot?" Chuemon suddenly thought that his palace had no decorations and collections.

It is said that Qianlong was a person who liked things with bright red, green and bright colors, so naturally, the gardens expanded and overhauled during his reign were all gorgeous.

It's better to leave it to us than to take it to foreigners who don't know how to do it and throw it in the warehouse. We understand the value of this stuff, and it can also be used for collection and even build a museum. Many of the monarchs of this year have the title of patron of the arts. For music, art, opera, etc., are very happy to sponsor.

It is also a good thing that we sponsor the establishment of a museum.

"Tens of thousands, even uncountable." Shigeru Nara didn't have any feelings for this thing, but just told the truth.

"Send a few careful people to buy the bag. The more the better, the more I have."

"Kamizu likes it?" Shigeru Nara knew for the first time that Chuemon had a hobby for antiques.

"Honmaru's palace is about to be built, so it has to be decorated with one or two decorations." Chuemon is not a favorite, but since there is such an opportunity, he will buy some.

To put it badly, now foreigners don't know the value of these things at all, and three melons and two dates are willing to sell them. In the future, a faucet animal head will not have much artistic value at all, but just because it is a part of a certain garden, it will take advantage of the patriotism of a certain country to drive up the price.

Is it reasonable that a copper faucet can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars? This shows that they use patriotism to scrape money. If you **** a fortune and sell it to you for another fortune, the abacus is fine.

"Indeed, you should buy more. The things of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will not be bad." Shigeru Nara also knew where these things came from.

"You just buy it, and you will settle the account at the same time." Chuemon waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this matter any more.

"Quan as a gift is..."

Nara Shigeru is 100,800,000, and it is definitely not bad, so what does it have to do with Chuemon. Just monopolizing the raw silk industry has made him a millionaire businessman. Judging from the current trend, when it becomes tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, it is possible. He has to protect the shogunate well so that the monopoly of the silk industry can last for a long time.

The two separated, one went to buy antiques, and the other went home and listened to the report.

After two days of passionate confrontation between Zhu Liu and Elgin, Elgin said that it can be done, anyway, the Kingdom of Hawaii is still an independent kingdom in theory. One day the shogunate will force Hawaii to sign a protectorate treaty at the right time. The British government will help to confirm it at that time.

As for the place in New Guinea, the British knew it, but it was all rainforest and inaccessible. British explorers made more than one trip to www.wuxiaspot.com~ and found almost nothing.

And you don't think that place is an island, but there are not many good ports. To give a more famous example, Rabaul, everyone should know it. Another plane is the city where the Germans burned and cut down a large number of mangroves along the coast and filled it with soil from other places.

During the Second World War, the U.S. military directly skipped this place and did not fight. In addition to the reason for the island-hopping tactics, there is another reason that this place is not a good military port. Taking it down may not be of much use.

So what does the Tokugawa shogunate want him to do?

You ask Zhu Liu, how does Zhu Liu know? Chuemon ordered him to ask for it, he was just a megaphone. Elgin showed his approval without hesitation. Moreover, he was very kind, worried that the shogunate's ships would not stop at ports in the New Guinea area, so he suggested that the shogunate could go and occupy Palau.

Anyway, it is a small island that is not targeted by major powers, and it is not on the main route of world trade at this time. The shogunate took Palau, which is just a number of safe havens, and it was easy.

In the end, the shogunate brought another 200,000 yuan, and he had to take it to London to lobby the powerful people and endorse the shogunate as soon as possible.
