Chapter Seventy-Five: I've Got a Wall Ladder
At the beginning of the lanterns, the Shanghai Beach at night is like a beautiful woman dressed up, and all imperfections are covered by the dark background, leaving only a sense of seductive surname. The flickering neon lights seem to be the eye waves of the bewitching beauty, which makes people's hearts sway.
Walking on the Nanjing Road built by the real estate tycoon Hartung with a donation of 600,000 taels of silver, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but smack his tongue, this road is paved with expensive teak, which is really extravagant!
Chai Dongliang also had to admire the business acumen of Hartung, a Jew, who had already bought property prices along Nanjing Road skyrocketing after the road was repaired. Ciyuanli, Ciqingli, Ciyuli... As far as the eye can see, half of Nanjing Road is the "Ci Zi Number" of the Hartung couple. In the concession where every inch of land is valuable, it is difficult to imagine how rich Hartung can be!
The land in the concession has already been sold for more than 100,000 silver per mu, while the best paddy fields in Huajie are only a dozen taels per mu, and the price can be 10,000 times different!
Henry, the largest landowner in the Public Concession. When Maris returned from Shanghai, he sold the 60 acres of land in his name at a low price, and even sold it for 40 million taels of silver!
You must know that the annual tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty was only 80 million taels, and the price of 60 mu of land in the concession area could cover half a year's tax payment in the whole country.
Later generations of Chinese often mentioned the financial strength of the Qing Dynasty, saying that its GDP was the top three in the world, which was used to prove that the Qing Dynasty was not so poor.
After Chai Dongliang came to this world, he felt that this statement was not worth refuting at all. If building a house can enrich the country and strengthen the army, then Lafayette's repair of the Summer Palace is not a holy move to stimulate domestic demand?
This kind of chicken fart pulled up by building houses and selling land is actually a dog's fart, and it has no effect on enhancing national strength.
Only industry is the foundation of the country's prosperity and strength, and the most important industry is the steel, cement, plastic and other material industries, which is the basis for the development of science and technology. The military and economy without the support of a strong industrial system are all water without a source and a tree without roots, and they usually look not small, but they are all empty fat and no muscles! If you really encounter a strong enemy, you will be vulnerable at all!
Industrial development, except for the time, manpower, financial resources, there is no shortcut... However, the Chinese have been extremely impetuous since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the most lacking is patience, and the favorite is to take shortcuts!
I have to say that this way of thinking has delayed the Chinese for a hundred years!
Chai Dongliang and Li Xiehe are both in civilian clothes, and there are more than 100 guards who are also dressed in civilian clothes around them, and they are responsible for security work outside and tightly.
The two walked down the street, silent. After a long time, Li Xiehe broke this silence: "Brother Guanghua, the drawings you showed to Boss Yu today are the latest technology in the West?" ”
Chai Dongliang nodded, and said casually: "This is the patent I bought from a foreigner at a high price, and now the patent right belongs to me!" ”
Li Xiehe praised with a big finger: "It's still my brother's long-term view, when I was studying abroad, I felt that this technology is changing with each passing day, and it has far surpassed China!" But today, when I see the Western technology in the hands of my brother, I feel that the degree of leading is no longer usable! The country is as poor and weak as a house, and I don't even realize it, it's really embarrassing... The overthrow of the Manchus is only the first step, and it is a thousand times more difficult to build a strong country! A strong country should start from industry! I plan to eliminate the Tartars, and then I will disarm and return to the field to concentrate on industry, and I hope that Brother Guanghua will help Brother Humble when the time comes! ”
Chai Dongliang laughed: "Brother Tie Xian really plans to do business? That's good! With the great talent of Brother Tai, if you devote yourself to industry, your achievements are limitless! When Brother Tiexian becomes the richest man in China, it will be enough to bring the little brother to feel warm! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, walked shoulder to arm, and never mentioned the Northern Expedition, nor did they mention the case of Tao Chengzhang's assassination.
Fang Qingyu caught up from behind and whispered two words in Chai Dongliang's ear. Chai Dongliang patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder... Good job, don't startle the snake first, cooperate with Boss Yu to sing the trick!" ”
After that, Chai Dongliang said to Li Xiehe: "I'm a little hungry now, can Brother Tiexian take my little brother to taste Shanghai's flavor snacks?" ”
Li Xiehe grinned and said with a simple smile: "This is for my brother, isn't it negligent!" Brother Guanghua came all the way, but I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, I really damn it! ”
Seeing Chai Dongliang and Fang Qingyu biting their ears, and Li Xiehe also smiling with affection, Shu Yexuan, who was on guard with the Women's Army, was a little angry, and rushed over and yelled angrily: "What are you doing?" One is the third brother's sworn brother, and the other is the third brother's henchman... The third brother's bones are not cold, but you still have the heart to talk about which restaurant in Shanghai has delicious food! People are doing it, the sky is watching, and the third brother's spirit in the sky is watching you! ”
Chai Dongliang smiled slightly, staring at this long-legged beauty with playful eyes, while Li Xiehe stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.
"Are you going to avenge the third brother? Forget it, you black-hearted men are unreliable, men are not good things! Shu Yexuan snorted angrily.
Chai Dongliang smiled indifferently: "Miss Shu, don't kill a boatload of people with a rod!" In an instant, Chai Dongliang's face changed, gritted his teeth, and said with a hideous face: "Three days, three days at most, I will let you watch a good show!" ”
Shu Yexuan was startled, Chai Dongliang's face changed faster than turning a book, gritting his teeth, and there was a coldness in his voice!
Li Xiehe also nodded at Shu Yexuan, signaling for her to believe Chai Dongliang.
Shu Yexuan's pretty nose twitched and said, "You men have so many tricks!" With that, he turned around and shook his big braids, twisted his waist and left.
Lots of tricks? Chai Dongliang snickered secretly, Lao Tzu has a lot of tricks, do you want to try it!
Chai Dongliang suddenly discovered that this girl is not only with a thin waist and long legs, but also with a buttocks that is fatal, riding boots that are over the knee, and a slender calfskin horsewhip in her hand, with a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows!
If this girl makes a "The First Queen of the Republic of China", she will definitely be popular all over the country!
This figure, this temperament, it's really delicious!
But this kind of woman doesn't seem to be easy to mess with, it belongs to the kind that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, who dares to marry home, then it is really the ancestor has no virtue, if you provoke her one day, if you overturn her, the long legs fly up, and you will not be kicked into a cripple by the steel piece wrapped in front of her riding boots?
Putting away his unrealistic reverie, Chai Dongliang continued to walk forward, smelling a foul smell from a distance, and couldn't help but cover his nose.
Li Xiehe said with a wry smile: "Suzhou Creek is like this, the people pour all dirty water and garbage into the river, and over time, there are no more fish and shrimp in the river... ”
Chai Dongliang shook his head and said: "The quality is caused by the environment, I dare to conclude that these people are so poor that they can't even afford the monthly money of the people who empty the bucket, and there must be no garbage stations around here, and no one specializes in collecting garbage!" ”
Li Xiehe nodded yes: "You said it well! ”
Chai Dongliang said again: "When the environment is good, naturally the people will begin to pay attention to it, and now they are poor and can't even eat, so they can't pay attention to it!" ”
Li Xie nodded again and again.
Suddenly, Shu Yexuan's exclamation came from behind: "Someone is going to jump into the river!" ”
Chai Dongliang raised his eyes and saw a man's figure climbing the railing of the bridge, and he was about to jump down!
Before Chai Dongliang could react, he saw the wind under Shu Yexuan's feet, and a few ups and downs had already reached the bridge, and his movements were as fast as a goshawk fighting a rabbit!
Chai Dongliang rubbed his eyes, almost incredulous, if he hadn't just spoken to Shu Yexuan, he would have thought that this girl had a tightrope behind her back!
What a master!
