Ludwigshafen is the second largest port on the rhine river
Because it is located inland, the port has become a distribution center for goods
Ludwig was responsible for the transportation of goods and materials to and from Rhine orchid
As a regional hub, there were many shops and businesses here
It has an ideal exit and entry market
Until modern times, the port had always been the way to transport large quantities of goods
The application of hydraulic power had saved countless manpower, and whenever there was a large amount of materials coming in and out, ships were the main means of transport
Modern oil tankers can reach 100,000 tons, and trains can only carry 60 tons per carriage
A train with 30 cars can pull less than a normal ship in the 19th century
In 1825, when the world''s first permanent public transport facility for steam locomotives, the british Stockton - darlington railway officially opened to traffic, the traveling number train, which was composed of locomotives, coal-water vehicles, 32 trucks and one bus, had a total load of only 90 tons
From the moment they got out of the car, there were people rushing by
If not for the different clothes and environment, this was a fast-paced port city
In the empty yard near the parking lot, there were numerous huge logs, medium logs and strange logs
Only here can you understand how many trees the germans have cut down - it seems that the germans themselves cannot calculate
The prussian named Fisher disappeared into the crowd after getting out of the car
Huang Xuan had to walk out of the yard where the cows and horses were screaming, get rid of the dung under his feet and walk towards the dock
Only the coolies in short shirts would pay long attention to huang xuan
The gentlemen who claimed to be Juncker would always rush past Huang Xuan
Occasionally, miss and madam would cover their noses with reserve
Almost angry, at home, who dared to do such a move in front of him, he had to fly up and kick him
Now that countless people were performing, he had to swallow his anger, either in his own territory or unhappy
Lorraine first identified the location of the food business for Huang Xuan, where the Chamber of commerce from hamburg was the most powerful
Although the legendary hanseatic alliance had been over for a long time, the economic status of the hamburger businessmen was as strong as a mountain and unshakable
Only the businessmen from france could compete with it
But to be honest, the prussia of this period did not have a good business environment
There were more than 300 dukes in the country, and there were 6,000 different currencies in the country
From hamburger to Ludwig, there were definitely more than 30 hurdles to go through, and the tax collection was different
The americans of the 21st century were shouting, free trade, no tariffs
In the prussia of the 19th century, people usually paid 30 tariffs and then did business happily
Therefore, psychological quality is cultivated
I don''t know, little Ludwig actually has nearly a hundred businesses doing the food business, or, in other words, there are nearly a hundred businesses doing the food business at the same time
This made Lorraine''s search much easier
Speaking of this, there was also Mr
Bismarck''s credit
In the 1850s and 1960s, german industry developed rapidly, the supply of agricultural machinery and fertilizer increased, and the export of food to foreign countries increased greatly
At the same time, russia was defeated in Crimea and the Poland revolution
France, on the other hand, launched military operations in Mexico, all of which became germany''s commodity exporting countries
In contrast, there were more companies buying timber
Ludwig was the only port in the whole of france, and the country was the largest forest in germany
If it moved back another 200 years, germany would become the world''s largest timber producer
A large amount of agricultural products and logs will be shipped in the port, then transported to hamburger or london, and then sent to the world
French businessmen also wandered around Ludwig, where two-thirds of the grapes produced in germany were shipped abroad, becoming the cornerstone of Bismarck''s iron and blood policy
Those who were counting at the counter were also around a few hundred thousand minutes
With disdain, he looked at a certain gentleman who was still struggling on the paper account book, knocked on the table and said, "Do you collect food
" "Of course
" Needless to say, Lorraine''s german was also very standard
The prussian looked up excitedly from the ledger, only to find that he was not talking to a european, and even dirtier than the local farmers
What could he do
He walked for a day on the road, then rode in an smelly public carriage for another half a day
During that time, he only stayed in a run-down pub for one night without even having to wash himself in hot water
With Lorraine''s stinginess, he would never use energy to clean Huang Xuan up
Maybe when Huang Xuan was kicked out, he would help Huang Xuan clean up
However, the prussians did not chase Huang Xuan out
There were farmers who brought in food after work
Although Huang Xuan''s clothes were more tattered and there was more mud on his feet, business was business
"What are you selling
" The foreign cashier put down his quill and looked behind Huang Xuan
"Do you want wheat
How much is it
" "50 Taler per thousand pounds
" The prussians answered honestly, but their heads did not lift
The 150 Taler were probably the average income of the prussian family at that time, but for most poor farmers, the 50 Taler might be the annual income
Now was not the season to harvest, so he probably didn''t believe that Huang Xuan would have 1,000 pounds of wheat on his hands
The Taler was a prussian silver coin
Compared to other small duchess, its currency was relatively stable
In about three years, Bismarck would use french reparations to reform the currency and establish the Mark system
However, at present, the whole of germany still uses four kinds of currency, the prussian Taler
South german "Pounds" in Austria, and francs
The franc here is not french currency, but based on the value of the french currency, the gold coins circulated in european countries will be regarded as a latin currency union by later generations, which is the foundation of the european union
Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "4,000 pounds is 200 Taler, right
" "Of course
" The prussian treasurer finally raised his head, looked at Huang Xuan carefully, and said, "You have 4,000 pounds of wheat
" "Yes
Do you want it
" "Where is it
" "I put it in the alley ahead
" Of course, Huang Xuan couldn''t drop more than two tons of wheat here all of a sudden
"Kamps, go get the wheat with him
" The cashier called back and looked at the ledger on the table
It looked like 4,000 pounds was just an episode
Smiling, he opened the door of the counter
A bearded young man came out from behind and said, "Where''s the wheat
" "Right in front
" Huang Xuan pointed casually
Lorraine put about 4,000 pounds of wheat in the alley in front of him, but there was no packaging, and it was about to pile up in the alley
Kamps, who followed, was surprised, "You just put the wheat on the ground like this
It will get wet
" He immediately took a different look at him
Does this kid still know how to get wet
Unfortunately, you don''t know that there are still time shuttles in this world
He shook his head and said, "There''s something at home
The car has to go back, so we have to leave it here first
" "I''ll get someone to move it
" Kamps walked back in disbelief and said, "Look here
Don''t lose it
" He answered and sat obediently on a pile of wheat from 200 years late
