Samuel's expedition was not an ordinary expedition. Behind him was supported by British government funds, and Zai Chun also mixed it up, so the Qing government would eventually reimburse them a lot of expenses.

Such expeditions are very large in scale. They collected too many animal, plant and ore specimens along the way, and also purchased many rare and precious commodities in Europe.

Central Asian embroidered carpets, precious jade and jewelry, beautiful gold and silver handicrafts... These Central Asian fine products prepared to be placed in European museums have now become garbage discarded from the river.

The purchase price of embroidered carpets in the local area is settled with gold coins. The pots and quilts for drinking gold and silver water are thrown on the road and are stomped on horses.

The crystal clear gems and jade are as beautiful as stars when sprinkled out!

The expedition team's big moves shut up all the people who questioned them. The herdsmen and merchants stopped talking. They thought to themselves that these British people were really rich and wasted!

"Shancai is hard to give up! Do you really want money and live?" Guan Lu stood up and yelled loudly, but the people around him just lowered their heads and fled without any trouble.

After all, Sir Gordon was a two-level noble official in the Qing Dynasty in Britain. This person's vision and mind are of course different from those of ordinary people.

When Sir Gordon saw that things were not good, he immediately shouted to Samuel Baker, "They can't bear to leave, we can! Spend money to buy all the herders' animals, and buy all the merchant's goods!"

"Use all the funds of the expedition team and buy all this! Money is the least valuable in the world! It is important to survive and fulfill our historical mission!"

"If God wants me to die, I will never die at the hands of these Cossack soldiers! Remember, we have a more important mission to accomplish!"

"Gentlemen, don't be wealth-guarding slaves at this time!"

Gordon opened the bag on his horse's back and took out a stack of promissory notes from the Bank of England from it. The translator shouted loudly, "Who do you know the promissory notes from the Bank of England? Each of them is a large promissory notes of one hundred thousand pounds! I'll buy your cattle, sheep and goods!"

“Do you know anyone?”

Samuel Baker also took his leave. He opened his suitcase and took out a handful of pounds and cash from it. "I have pounds here, enough to buy all your cattle and sheep! Come and trade with me... We order you to drive all the cattle and sheep back!"

This scene was so embarrassing. No matter how the two British big noses shouted, no one paid attention to them. In the end, Doro kept shouting in anger, "What do you think? What do you think?"

"This is the Ili River Valley, this is the Capchagae. Who can know the promissory notes of the Bank of England? Who has used pound notes?"

"Digit gold and silver! The herdsmen here are serious about money!"

"I have silver coins here! The dragon-patterned silver dollars minted by the Chinese people, do you want silver?"

At the critical moment, the exquisite dragon-patterned silver coins cast by Xiao Letian saved their lives. These silver coins with the same specifications and weight as those of later generations have established very strong credit in Asia.

The silver content is high and the stamped pattern is so beautiful. It is much more delicate than the Mexican Eagle Ocean in the past. Every scale on the dragon's body can be clearly visible.

Herders and merchants have seen these beautiful silver coins, but few of them can really have. Occasionally, one or two of them are even considered by herders as lucky silver coins when they were born, and they are pressed into their cradles and become amulets.

Today, Guan Lu and Doro took out all the more than 20,000 silver dollars that the guards brought with them. This was the cash they had withdrawn from the Ermao General Manager when they left Zaichun.

I really didn't expect that this money would be life-saving!

The merchants and herdsmen saw the white silver dollars still the kind of silver coins that could be blown, and they didn't act deaf and dumb all of a sudden, "I'll sell them to you! I'll sell them to you..."

A group of herders surrounded her. The price of livestock here is really low enough. In Sijiu City, you can buy at most half a sheep rib, but here you can buy an adult ram with a silver dollar.

Four silver dollars are a cow or a horse!

Thousands of animals sent out by more than 20,000 silver coins were driven back by herders, and the cavalry staring at the Cossacks rushed over.

"There is not enough money, but the cash is not enough..."

Samuel Baker made a fuss and said, "Forget it, take out the gold coins we have in the box and exchange them with the herdsmen!"

Samuel Beck was preparing to collect and bring back to Europe with tens of thousands of gold coins, and now he took out all of them.

"Gold! If you have gold, I will have cattle and sheep, and we will give you all our goods..."

There is no bargaining, everyone knows that this is to abandon the life-saving thing. Except for a very small number of people, the rest of the people are all taking out for a price.

Not only that, Guan Lu even took out a handful of silver notes from the Qing Dynasty from his fur coat in the end!

"Is anyone checking cashiers? The ticket numbers from Shanxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Beijing issued large tickets with the number of tickets in Tianzi!"

"Grandpa, I use my life to ensure that it is true! The Bodhisattva of Heaven is watching. If I fool you with fake things, the sky will be hit by five thunder!"

In the final analysis, the Ili River Valley is still the territory of the Qing Dynasty. People here are more familiar with the Qing Dynasty. No one knows the promissory notes of the Bank of England, and no one wants the British pound note.

However, the silver notes issued by the Central Plains Trading Company of the Qing Dynasty were tens of thousands of miles away, and people knew them on the Central Asian grassland outside the Tianshan Mountains.

Of course these people are all businessmen. They took the silver notes and carefully identified them, "Friends, we do business with you! We have used these silver notes in northern Xinjiang!"

"We believe in you..."

Oh... I've passed the test, Guan Lu and Doro almost fell off the horse's back excitedly. "Relatives, you are aware of the goods. We have 300,000 taels of silver here..."

"Buy all of you, even the carriage, Thomas... and buy it to save your lives!"

"Do you sell it?"

Here are Kazakhs, Mongolians, Hui tribes that were pro-Qing Dynasty, and of course Han merchants... Merchants of all ethnic groups bowed to these guards with a straight face.

"Of course, we will sell it to you if you lose money... You are saving our lives, of course we will sell it! Sell it to you..."

Kapchagae became the largest business in history. The expedition team spent a total of nearly 700,000 taels of silver in various currencies, and bought the animals of herders and all the goods of merchants in the city.

They used their money to pave a way to escape in the Yili River Valley!

The Cossack Battalion Commander will never forget what happened tonight in his life. When they were about to catch up with the refugee troops, the world ahead suddenly changed color.

The earth shook violently, and tens of thousands of livestock rushed towards them like a flood!
