Chapter 152: Magalny
Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he asked vigorously: "I followed my father to make a big brick and stone house for the landlord Lao Cai for a few years, and I also participated in the construction of the Qing Purification City Tower, and ...... I don't know how to do it...... Kindness...... Okay......
"Clear the Purification Tower?" Zhang Hanyue's eyes lit up, although he hadn't heard what he was talking about, but since it was a tower, it had something in common with the hundred-meter-high building that Zhang Hanyue wanted.
"Good! The central government has decided that you have been hired by us! Zhang Hanyue said, and after that, Zhang Hanyue sent the heavy 10 taels of silver to the thin man in front of everyone.
"What...... What......" The thin man couldn't believe his eyes and ears, and the money came too fast...... It's so easy.
The person who laughed at him just now hadn't finished speaking, and after hearing this, he opened his mouth wide and looked at the thin man in a daze, with a look of disbelief.
"Wife! You pinch me and see if I'm dreaming? The man said to his wife, who was standing nearby.
His wife pinched his thigh with her hand.
"Ah...... You damn mother-in-law, you're killing me! Why are you trying to pinch me to death with such force? Ah......" the man said angrily.
"Forget it! That...... Do you think I can do it? My father is a landlord in these ten miles and eight towns, "I have been doing masonry for a few days, although this technology is not particularly good, but it is still possible to help you manage these people."
The man looked at Zhang Hanyue with a natural expression, in his opinion, why can't even this poor craftsman who is nothing be selected by himself? Isn't it hand-to-hand yet? Now he had begun to figure out how to spend all that white money, and as for what kind of craftsmanship or something, he had long since forgotten about it.
Zhang Hanyue almost laughed out loud, and said in his heart: "If this really wants you, then it's strange that I planted it in your hands." ”
"I'm sorry, we won't want you."
"Why?"
"Because you're so ugly! Well, security. Blasting him out of here! ”
……
No one in the crowd noticed, two blonde foreigners stood in the crowd, and no one noticed them.
I saw that these two people had a high nose bridge, a pair of blue eyes, and amazing skin fairer than a woman......
I saw one of the younger girls speaking in a London accent and saying to the person next to her, "Brother, are you really going?" We don't have any money now, and we haven't sold any of the spirits, glass beads, perfumes, muskets, and other industrial products that we brought here. We were cheated out of the money by a Qing merchant again, so let's go to the consulate of the British Empire here and ask for help. ”
This blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl said that there was a trace of indescribable pride in her eyes when she talked about the British Empire, and it is no wonder that the British Empire is the existence of the hegemon in this era.
"And ...... The wealth here ...... The resources here...... It's unimaginable, tens of millions of people...... Oh, my God...... If everybody bought one of our straw hats...... oh! mygod! Then we'll be the biggest straw hat overlord in all of London! Fast! Brother! Let's go back soon! I'm going to tell my father to take this place quickly...... become our colony, and then we will become London...... Oh no! The world's largest straw hat overlord...... "Xin Qi, this little blonde girl speaks English, and if she speaks Chinese, Zhang Hanyue guarantees that he will be beaten into meat sauce by the people here......
"Sister...... Haven't you seen it yet...... People here don't even know where the British Empire is...... The news is very closed, and once I went to see their sailboat, which was good, but it was not much different from the sailing ship of 100 years ago. Even the officials here do not understand economics at all, and even treat us as monsters...... There is also a strange arrogance in the words. Besides, I'm here to realize my dreams, I'm a top student in civil engineering at Oxford University, and I'm here to explore the mysterious Orient. Not here to colonize...... I'm not going...... Now, if I go back, I will laugh at my brothers again...... I'm here to prove to my father that I'm not a scholar......" The older blonde man who spoke was wearing a gold-rimmed glasses and was tall.
"When I was at Oxford, the professors were always worried about me. Every time I offered to lead a project, the old men would always dismiss my idea, saying that you are still young. I just believe it, who knows, these professors are just for their relatives, why do they think that a 100-meter tall building can't be built, according to my calculations, it is feasible, I believe in my professional level, this is ......"
"Oh, you're just too stubborn, my father knows Uncle Magalny, can't I just ask him to support you!" The young-looking little girl on the side said casually.
"I ......"
"Oh, don't be it, why are you always like this." The blonde girl said with some dissatisfaction.
"This man looks so strange, he is so tall, his glasses are still blue, he is like a monster, how can this hair be this color...... It's taller than my horse. A middle-aged woman who couldn't stand much more than a pig said casually.
"Hey! You don't understand this, right? This is a Westerner, in the words of our emperor, it is an uncivilized Fanbang...... You smell it, and there is a strange smell on it......" The man who spoke boasted with a smile on his eyebrows, with an expression that the world of labor and management understood.
The scene is still hot, and there are already countless masons and carpenters who have resolutely said goodbye to their wives and come here to sign up, and then hug the models who are standing next to them with a smile on their faces......
At this time, I only saw a blonde foreigner sweating profusely and squeezed in, because of his height, he had an advantage in the crowd, plus the people of this era were generally malnourished and lived a difficult life, so most of them were relatively short.
“I…… Iwanttojoinin! Perhaps he was so anxious that he burst out of English as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhang Hanyue was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a long time, just because he suddenly heard that the English that he was very familiar with in later generations suddenly had a feeling that he had crossed me again. Not only Zhang Hanyue, but also many soldiers and the melon-eating crowd around them who stared at the model without knowing the truth were stunned. (To be continued.) )
