Ludwigshafen is the second largest port on the Rhine River. Because it is inland, this port has become a distribution center for goods. Ludwig shoulders the important task of entering and exiting materials throughout the Rhineland. As a regional hub, there are many shops and prosperous businesses here. It has an ideal entry and exit market.

Until modern times, ports have always been a way to transport bulk goods. The application of hydraulic power has saved countless manpower. Whenever a large amount of materials enters and leaves, ships are the main means of transportation. Modern tankers can reach 100,000 tons, and each carriage can only carry 60 tons. A train of thirty cars can be used as a train that has pulled more than ordinary ships in the 19th century. In 1825, the world's first permanent public transportation facility to drive a steam locomotive, a stockton-Darlington railway in England was officially opened to traffic, and the travel train consisting of locomotives, coal-water trucks, 32 trucks and 1 passenger bus had a total load of only 90 tons.

Since Huang Xuan got off the car, there were crowds passing by in a hurry. If it weren't for the different dress and environment, it would be a fast-paced port city. In the empty field near the parking yard, there were countless huge logs, medium logs and strange woods. Only here can you understand how many trees the Germans cut down - I think the Germans themselves can't calculate it.

The Prussian named Fisher disappeared into the crowd after getting off the bus. Huang Xuan had to lit his feet and walked out of the yard where the cows and horses were neighing, got rid of the feces from the soles of his feet and walked towards the dock.

Only coolies in short shirts would give Huang Xuan a long gaze. The gentlemen who claimed to be Junker always hurriedly passed by Huang Xuan. Occasionally, if there was a young lady, they would cover their noses with a reserved attitude.

Huang Xuan was almost angry. When he was at home, who dared to do such an action in front of him? He could fly up and kick him. Now countless people are performing, and he has to swallow his anger. He either has his own territory or is unhappy.

Lorraine first identified the location of the grain commerce company for Huang Xuan. The chamber of commerce from Hamburg is the most powerful. Although the legendary Hanseatic alliance has ended for a long time, the economic status of the burger merchants is as strong as a mountain and unshakable. Only the merchants from France can compete with each other.

But to be honest, there was no good business environment in Prussia during this period. There were more than 300 vassal states, and there were 6,000 kinds of currencies, from Hamburg to Ludwig, there were definitely more than 30 checkpoints to pass from the middle, and the taxes were different. Americans in the 21st century were shouting, free trade, no tariffs, but in Prussia in the 19th century, people usually paid 30 tariffs and then happily did business.

Therefore, psychological quality is cultivated.

If you don’t look at it, there are nearly a hundred businesses in the small Ludwig who are doing grain business, or in other words, nearly a hundred businesses that are doing grain business. This makes Lorraine’s search much easier.

Speaking of this, Mr. Bismarck also contributed to this. In the 1850s and 1860s, Germany's industry developed rapidly, the supply of agricultural machinery and fertilizers increased, and the export of grain to foreign countries increased significantly. During the same period, Russia suffered a crushing defeat in Crimea, the Polish revolution, and France launched military operations in Mexico. These countries became Germany's commodity exporters.

In contrast, there are more companies that purchase wood. Ludwig is the only port in the entire Falz, while Falz is the largest forest in Germany. If it moves back for another 200 years, Germany will become the largest timber producer in the entire world.

A large number of agricultural products and logs will be loaded in the port, then shipped to Hamburg or London, and then transferred to all over the world. French merchants are also wandering in Ludwig, where two-thirds of Germany's grapes will be produced, most of which will be shipped abroad, becoming the cornerstone of Bismarck's iron-blooded policy.

And those gentlemen who calculate on the counter also have hundreds of thousands of minutes.

Huang Xuan looked at a gentleman who was still struggling on the paper books with contempt, knocked on the table, and said, "Do you collect food?"

"Of course." Needless to say, Lorraine's German is also very standard. The Prussian raised his head excitedly from the account book, but unexpectedly found that the person who was speaking just now was not a European, and even more dirty than the local farmers.

What could Huang Xuan do? He walked on the road for a day, then walked in a stinky public carriage for another half a day, and only stayed in a dilapidated tavern for one night, without even hot water. With Lorraine's stinginess, he would not use energy to clean Huang Xuan. Perhaps when Huang Xuan was driven out of the door, he would help Huang Xuan clean up.

However, the Prussians did not drive out Huang Xuan. There were farmers who sent food after work. Although Huang Xuan's clothes were even more torn and there was more mud on his feet, business was business.

"What are you going to sell?" The foreign accountant put down the quill in his hand and looked behind Huang Xuan.

"Do you want wheat? How much does it cost?"

"50 tales per thousand pounds." The Prussians answered very realistically, but their heads did not lift up. The 150 tales were probably the average income of the Prussian family at that time, but for most poor farmers, 50 tales might be the income of a year. Now is not the season for harvest, so he probably doesn't believe that Huang Xuan would have 1,000 pounds of wheat.

Tale is a Prussian silver coin. Compared with other small principalities, its currency value is relatively stable. In about three years, Bismarck will use the French to reform the currency value and establish a Mark system. However, now, the entire Germany still uses four types of currencies, Prussian Tale, Austria's Southern German "pounds", and francs.

The franc mentioned here is not French currency, but gold coins circulated in European countries based on the value of French currency, and later generations regarded it as a Latin currency alliance - and this is the basis of later EUs.

Huang Xuan shrugged and said, "4,000 pounds are 200 tales, right?"

"Of course." The Prussian accountant finally raised his head, looked at Huang Xuan carefully, and said, "Do you have 4,000 pounds of wheat?"

"Yes. Do you want it?"

"Where?"

"I'll put it in the alley in front." Huang Xuan certainly couldn't suddenly fall out of more than 2 tons of wheat here.

"Kamps, go get the wheat with him." The accountant called back and then placed his eyes on the account book on the table. It seemed that 4,000 pounds was just a small episode.

Huang Xuan smiled and let the counter door open. A young man with a beard walked out from behind and said, "Where is wheat?"

"Just in front." Huang Xuan pointed casually.

Lorraine put about 4,000 pounds of wheat in the alley in front, but lacked packaging and was about to rise in the alley.

Camps, who followed, was surprised: "You just put the wheat on the ground like this? It will get damp."

Huang Xuan immediately looked at him with a different look. This kid still knew he was getting wet? Unfortunately, you don’t know that there is still a time-space shuttle in this world.

He shook his head and said, "If you have something to do at home, the car is going to rush back, so he has to put it here first."

"I'll ask someone to move." Camps walked back in disbelief and said, "You see here, don't lose it."
