C1580 Smuggling black market

There was no need to elaborate too much on the darkness of the official land of the late Qing. Civil officials had their ways of doing things, while military generals had their ways of dealing with military officers. Civil officials ate fire, consumption, taxes and lawsuits, and the most important way that military generals earned their money was to smuggle.

In the bitter and cold lands outside the prison, the population did not have much land to develop and thus, they were hoping to take advantage of the commoners. Even if their bones were broken, they would not have much hope.

On the west was Mongolia, on the north was the Russian, and on the other side was the Central Plains. Before this, the Ningguta would even occasionally meet some merchant ships from the northern part of Japan, secretly selling katana and seafood, and the tiger skin and ginseng were also Japanese favorites.

In the three provinces outside the city, almost all the military generals were involved in the smuggling trade. They did not have to pay any taxes, and they could also get some good goods that could not be bought in the market. The chiming bells, pocket watches, guns, and glass were all expensive goods in the world.

Oceanic Flames, Horseman Lamps, Kerosene, iron nail … These are essential things in the lives of the people.

Then the silk, salt, iron, grain, cattle and sheepskin milk products from the Mongolian Prairie, and then the herbs, animal skins, and timber from the outside began to circulate in the hands of these garrison troops.

This matter was originally an open secret, and the imperial government was well aware of it. However, the imperial court wanted the country to be poor, and the soldiers to be paid. Who would still care about such matters?

Although Hun Chun was a good official, but he still needed to earn this kind of money. Even if she earned all of it, it would just be in her subordinates' stomachs, unlike T?pchin and the others, she did not have it all with him.

This kind of smuggling activity could only be bought by senior officers. Low level officers could only get a share of the boss' business, but at Old Lin's level, it was enough. With Hun Chun's tacit approval, he also had a small caravan making this money, but it was only on a small scale.

No matter how much of a direct descendant you are, you can't come here to fish for money, unless your goods are lacking in the market, this might be able to give you an opening.

As for the big cities such as Qiqihar and Shiyi, they are naturally T?pchin's territory. If you want to do business here, you must definitely not do it privately.

Look, there are rules in the underworld, and they are even stricter than the law.

There was a business, there was a rules, and naturally there were people who challenged the rules. Broker classes were created under this background. Black, white, and grey were created because of the unspoken rules of the game.

You, Old Lin, have to take out at least 40% of what you sell in the Qiqihar to flatten the relationship. But for a broker like the bastard to take action, 30% is enough.

No matter how smart bastard was, he wouldn't be able to find any flaws today. When he saw the goods the packhorses brought, calves's eyes turned blue, even if he knew it was a trap, he wouldn't be willing to show it.

"Good boy!" Lord Lin, your reputation has gone beyond the heavens! These are all good stuff that can't be robbed in the market! "

"Ryukyu's rum! Aiyo … Do you know how much a bottle is sold in this Liquor City? Thirty silver coins! "Furthermore, you won't be able to snatch it …"

"Canned beef from Citigroup, this is beef, this is fruit, this is meat balls …" "Treasure, it really is a treasure. A can of silver from a canned city like this …"

"Master Lin!" "You know that adults don't even have to grill their own meat when they go out to hunt and play. If anyone's family doesn't order these canned goods around the bonfire as a show of support, then they'll really be a laughingstock!"

The bastard was right, since ancient times, people had always valued rare materials. rum s and canned products were nothing in the future generations with plenty of resources, but there were some that drank more than them. People called canned food as junk food because it lacked nutrition.

However, in an era of scarcity, these things were treasures. Furthermore, as new things were sought after by the market, people had to seek them for their illusory face.

In fact, this wave of foreign goods also gradually rose along with the rise of the loyal army. The Chinese delivered large quantities of these liquid food by sea, so as a result, a portion of it would naturally flow into the people due to sufficient supplies.

The common folk were reluctant to eat these good food and secretly sold them on the black market. The unique taste of the canned food and its unique appearance, as well as the fact that it loved high alcohol since the ancient times made these supplies of the Boxers burn up in an instant.

Heilongjiang's side was not the territory of the Braveheart Army, so this kind of military supplies was naturally rare. This pushed up the market price even further. Today, the foreign goods Old Lin brought could really be described as giving away carbon in the snow.

"Leave it to me. I've taken care of this deal bro for you. He's definitely beautiful!" bastard rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"Look at your useless appearance!" Was this even worth getting excited over? "Come and look at this place again …" With that, Old Lin secretly opened a crack on the wood box.

"Hiss …" The Mauser of the Boxers? And the American revolver? " bastard immediately closed the lid, "Master Lin! You, You, You... Where did you get this treasure? Don't harm your brother, that Xiao Letian is ruthless and merciless, he has too many friends from all over the world … "

"What if your goods are not clean and are exposed? What if you lose your life if you can't earn any money?" This cheap life of ours can't even take a single finger from him! "

"Piss off!" Am I that kind of person? "I'll tell you the truth, I exchanged all these for information …" In a word, bastard understood. He had been in the business of selling intelligence before, so it was reasonable for him to say that.

"Aiya, my god, you really scared me to death …" Just tell me the truth, how many of these things are there? "Give Total..."

The messy list was stuffed into bastard's arms. This brat really was a natural born seller, he understood everything after taking a look at the list in the city.

"Oh my god, so this group of people is just from vanguard unit? And then there was actually … This shipment was actually worth a million yuan? "Oh my mother, I've struck it rich! I've really struck it rich!"

"Shh …" "Shut up!" Old Lin pulled him aside, "Do you want to make a ruckus that everyone knows about? When the time comes, there will be many wolves that will divide the meat.

"Hehe, look at my mouth. I should hit him, I really should hit him …" Master Lin, what do you mean? Speak clearly! "

"En, my plan is to secretly keep all these good stuff in the city. You go find a storehouse for me, we will slowly sell them one by one, not just sell them in the Qiqihar! To sell it separately, isn't that the more expensive it is? "

"My men are about eight miles outside of the city. Let's go into the city and unload the goods! "Don't just stand there. So many things all rushed into the market in one breath. Just wait for the price to drop!"

The bastard blinked his eyes and asked weakly: "My lord Lin, so many goods, how many people did you bring?"

"Not much, only eight hundred …" Old Lin sneered at him.
