Chapter 162: Fight for your life to the sky

Li Shanlan tasted a fruit feast, then patted her belly with a rough septum, smacked her cheeks and lips, learned the straightforwardness of foreigners, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chief Instructor, such a delicious taste is rare in the world." Shanlan is sincerely grateful. ”

"Mr. Li, you and I are familiar at first sight and deserve it."

Seeing that Li Shanlan was drinking and eating, she was calm. Ye Tan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Shanlan's gourd, and he also said some words that were not nutritious.

Watching the entire Puhai become a huge construction site, it is like boiling water, busy and thriving. In just half a month, more than 1.5 million people have poured in, and most of them are young men and women. There are all smiling faces that can't be hidden, as well as long-lost self-confidence. The salary of three taels of silver is already a month's salary for everyone in the Qianzhuang of Kangzhou Mansion. Therefore, Li Shanlan's thoughts suddenly drifted away.

I heard that many people who dare to take risks mortgage or sell their surplus land and houses to Puhai International Bank to raise capital. Some went to the north at night to purchase coal, some went to Huzhou Qilixun to purchase raw silk, some went to Suzhou to sell rice, chickens, pigs, geese, ducks, cattle, sheep and fish, some went to the northeast to sell timber, some went to the capital to collect and purchase leather goods, some went to Fujian and Guangdong to sell sugar and cotton, and some went to Wushi Mountain opposite Kangzhou Bay to mine granite stones and buy land to burn red bricks...... All the Tigers needed was a chance for them to make a fortune.

In short, after signing the procurement contract with the Tigers, although they endured a lot of hardships, paid a lot of customs duties and taxes, and deducted the cost of various favors, wages, and expenses, their income increased by seven or eight times compared with before, and some of the extremely poor families even increased by twenty or thirty times.

Even those foreigners who were not arrested, when they saw this huge opportunity, came to his door one after another and asked him to help find a way. They are very realistic and know who has the biggest fist and has the final say. From their compatriots who were arrested, they really felt Ye Tan's strength.

Retracting the disturbing thoughts in her mind, Li Shanlan, who was sitting on the battleship Puhai, felt a little like a dream. Originally, I wanted to do some translation work in the library, promote the advanced culture and technology of the West to everyone to learn, and hope to catch up with their development level as soon as possible and strengthen the people and the country. Unexpectedly, a chief instructor suddenly came. turned the whole Puhai upside down and disrupted his plans.

"Since Mr. Chief Instructor came to Puhai, how many fathers and villagers who have not eaten three meals have finally had something to eat, and Li Mou has thanked Mr. Chief Instructor on behalf of all the poor people in the world." Li Shanlan got up and distanced herself, and bowed to the ground towards Ye Tandou.

Li Shanlan suddenly came to this hand, first raised and then suppressed, Ye Tan couldn't help but move in his heart, and faintly felt that there were signs of badness.

Sure enough, Li Shanlan then changed her voice, "Now that the long-haired soldiers are raging, everywhere they pass, corpses are all over the field, white bones are full of wilderness, and people are extinct, Mr. Chief Instructor has this artifact, why not save the people from fire and water?" ”

"Hehe, the meat * drama is finally here, is this a temptation? I thought you were just a scholar, but now I can tell who you are here for. Ye Tan's thoughts flashed, and he was slightly disappointed with Li Shanlan's character, and felt that the historical facts of later generations could not be trusted. His face was silent, "The sky is falling and there is no way, and the earth is a warrior." This is the cycle of luck. Ben is not talented, and he is fortunate to have an artifact. But he knew the power of sharp weapons, and he was about to destroy the country and destroy his family, so he didn't dare to use it lightly. Of course, bad voyeurism, both inside and outside, is regarded as an enemy. Fight the enemy all the way, never die! ”

Li Shanlan thought that Ye Tan should let down his vigilance after being patient so far, but Ye Tan was not led by his words, but refuted him a little. He barely held his mind, stroked his beard with his right hand, shook his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Chief Instructor, this is wrong. Punishing evil and promoting good has been practiced since ancient times. Your artifact, kill an evil and can give birth to ten thousand families, if you do this, Mr. Chief Instructor will give birth to Buddha in ten thousand families, and the world will praise it. ”

After all, it is a scholar's spirit, and the famous master has a mantra "Saving lives does not save deaths". The Qing Dynasty has today's disasters, and they are all to blame. Ye Tan shook his head secretly in his heart, and pushed back without being soft or hard: "Mr. Li's words are subtle, and there are antecedents for all evils. Heaven is not evil, if the world is evil? The first evil, Mr. turned a blind eye, which is really biased. What's more, the Lu camp is like a locust, scraping the ground three feet where it passes. Compared to the long hair, it is more than that. Mr. Jin argues for it, and I despise it. ”

Li Shanlan's face was pale and speechless. He didn't expect Ye Tan's rebuttal to come so sharply.

However, Li Shanlan is worthy of being a famous talent in Haining, and her talent is quick, so she quickly organized her speech, puffed up her tongue and said: "Mr. Chief Instructor, the evil consequences have nothing to do with the past. Today, he is diligent and intelligent, dedicated, thirsty for talent, and knows people well. In the past, there was the marshal of the national domain and the governor Lin Yi, who used soldiers like gods, saved people from fire and water, and was a great man of the Han Dynasty for a while. In the new era of the fall of Taikoo, the foreigners imposed an unequal treaty, demanded huge compensation, and accumulated the gains of thousands of people, if you cooperate to defeat the foreigner fleet, it will be meritorious to the country and the people. ”

"Hehe, sure enough, I came here to be a lobbyist for Zeng Yanfan."

Ye Tan sneered in his heart, but he couldn't see a trace of change on his face.

The corner of his eyes swept to Li Shanlan's disappointed eyes, and Ye Tan confirmed the guess in his heart even more.

After all, he is a scholar, and Li Shanlan never thought that Ye Tan belonged to two lives. wanted to impress Ye Tan in just a few words, but it was just his wishful thinking and self-righteousness.

Seeing Ye Tan pretending to be deaf and dumb, Li Shanlan was a little unwilling, and finally couldn't hold her breath, and continued: "Mr. Chief Instructor, if you are not here, how can you threaten Puhai, Xiasongjiang Mansion, and Taicang Mansion with guns?" ”

This is an era when wolves are everywhere, lives are ruined, foreigners are in trouble, and crows and deception are rampant. It lasted until 100 years later. How many touching men and women parted from life and death, how many people were terrified and desperate, how many bloodthirsty and hideous fangs were waving butcher knives, how many pairs of hands that were holding but never gave up turned into white bones, and how many sobbing vicissitudes were annihilated in the world of years.

Once before being reborn, Ye Tan also asked himself. If you travel through rebirth, what can you do for these people?!

Now that he has a chance to start over, Ye Tan hopes to give them a harbor to guard.

Yes, as soon as the momentum on Ye Tan's body was released, his right hand stretched out his index finger, first pointing at the busy workers all over the ground, and then pointing to the sky, like a magic stick, his eyes were like electricity, and he said awe-inspiringly: "In this troubled world, internal troubles and external humiliation, how can the people be innocent?" So, I'm going to fight for their lives! Give them a place to live and live with tiles to cover their heads, to be clothed and to be clothed, and to work to support their families. ”

Li Shanlan naturally didn't know that Ye Tan's struggle for his life was not only now, but also 80 years later.

As for why Ye Tan didn't destroy Dongyang, because Ye Tan wanted to drive away wolves and intimidate tigers. Only in this way can the Chinese become strong.

"Mr. Chief Instructor can learn from this, but Li is abrupt."

Li Shanlan was a little ashamed, pretended to hide her face, wiped her sweat, and said.

He didn't expect that all the persuasion he tried would end up humiliating himself.

"Mr. Chief Instructor, you must have seen that I was entrusted by Marshal Zeng to come to you as a lobbyist. Because of the old relationship with Zeng Shuai, he had to come. It's not what I want, Li is really ashamed! Ashamed! ”

finally couldn't pretend anymore, Li Shanlan and Pantuo seemed to be relieved. Playing with Ye Tan like this is really not what he is good at. was deeply shocked by Ye Tan's actions. The things that are difficult on his own are effortless in Ye Tan's hands. In addition, Ye Tan has thunder means and a bodhisattva heart, which makes Li Shanlan admire the five-body throw. There is a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other late.

"Hehe, I'm afraid Mr. Li is not interested in this, right?"

Ye Tan looked at Li Shanlan with a smile and said.
