Chapter 51: Rogue plus Liar

[51] Rogue plus liar

When the young man heard Yao Fan say that one person had one car and everyone had to ride a bicycle, he was a little disappointed. But the old man next to him said: "That's easy to do, we also go to Jinan Mansion, you wait until you arrive in Jinan, and then sell it to us." ”

Yao Fan saw that these two teenagers talked differently from ordinary people, and they knew bicycles, so he judged that they must have been born into wealthy families.

Thinking of this, Yao Fan's brain suddenly turned fast: If you can get acquainted with some big officials before the rebellion, it will definitely be beneficial to disguise yourself, after all, you are going to Jinan to find a protective #umbrella.

Thinking about this section, Yao Fan said: "If you are destined to go the same way, when you arrive in Jinan, I will send two to you." My family opened a factory in Taixi, and this car was also made in my own factory, and now it is sold back and forth in Daqing, but no one knows the goods. ”

Yao Fan sighed: "In the West, the bicycles running all over the street are not as good as the ones made by my family, not to mention anything else, this pneumatic tire is the only thoughtfulness, and the design of the front and rear gears through the guò chain drive is also a stroke of genius." But who would have thought of our Daqing, but no one cared.

My heart is cold now, and I only plan to give the car to someone who is destined to do it in the future, and I will never do this car business from now on. ”

Yao Fan's mouth was half-real and half-empty, indeed, metal bicycles only appeared after the 1873 World Expo, and the previous bicycles were all made of wood without exception. It wasn't until 1888 that pneumatic tires were introduced by Dunlop for bicycles, and from then on riding became less labor-intensive. So in 1889, the gear chain transmission replaced the previous front axle pedal design, and the rider no longer needed to stretch out his feet awkwardly and obliquely, and since then the bicycle has stepped out of the status of a rich toy, with the value of modern application, and after the World Expo, it immediately sold well all over the world.

Pneumatic tires and gear chain transmission can not be reversed, without pneumatic tires, the quality of the metal chain can not withstand bumps and pedaling vigorously.

As for the semi-void, it is because Yao Fan did not vigorously promote bicycles, but after realizing the military value of bicycles in this era, he immediately hid in the snow, planning to form his own cavalry unit when he rebelled in the future, this cavalry ...... Certainly not on horseback......

No matter how old the young man is, he is still a young man after all, and he couldn't hide his happiness when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "No wonder I saw that you didn't have braids, it turned out that you were really not a monk, but a businessman from the West." In this case, let's go to Jinan together on the same road, there is a companion on the road, and it is easy to talk and relieve boredom. I see that you are a man who sings interestingly, and you are generous, and you say that you have been to Tessie, and you will definitely hear a lot about you when you walk together. ”

After a pause, the young man said again: "Don't think that I coveted your car to go with you, when I arrived in Jinan, your car was sold to me, and I will give you silver at the original price, and I will not make you suffer." ”

The young man added: "My car was originally given by a foreigner, and it was said that it would be sold for one hundred and twenty taels of silver in the Shanghai Concession, and since your car is better than that of a foreigner, I will double it for you, counting it as two hundred and forty taels of silver a piece, you won't suffer a loss, right?" ”

Yao Fan took the underwear handed over by He Shicheng and put it on, and then said with a smile while tying the cyan thin cotton robe on his body: "Little brother, you underestimate me Yao Fan too much, since I said that I will give you the car when I get to Jinan Mansion, it will definitely be given to you, and I don't want a penny of silver!" If you give me money, you will look down on us Shandong heroes, if I take your silver, but I will lose my face, this transaction is not cost-effective. ”

Although the young man was old, he had never seen Yao Fan's rhetoric, and he didn't know how to pick up the conversation.

The young man felt that Yao Fan was being tricky, and said in his heart that this person was just a family that opened a factory in the West to make these strange and ingenious toys, but in the final analysis, isn't he still a businessman? What a magnanimity.

He smiled and said, "It turns out that you came back from Tessie, but since you went to Tessie, how dare you cut your ancestor's braids?" Is it embarrassing to do this? ”

Yao Fan rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, how do you fart with your mouth, except for the slaves in the world, who else is proud of this Tartar pig's tail?

Yao Fan has a characteristic of "different hearts and mouths", he smiled and said, "Brother is unknown, let me tell you, I lived in the Taixi countries when I was a child, with the family business Europa Da 6, I have never combed braids since I was a child, and naturally I didn't cut my braids, and now I have returned to the Qing Dynasty, ready to stay, but I caught up with the hot day, with fake braids, the heat is unbearable, and then keep my head, that is, to stuff the scalp out of the oil, I want to simply learn from the monk to shave his head, but also a good one." He laughed.

The young man also laughed when he saw that Yao Fan was funny.

Then Yao Fan was by the window in the shade under the courtyard corridor, and talked with this young man and a young man, and the three of them talked eloquently, and he moved out the set that he boasted to Sun Maowen and He Wannian as it was, but he just added fuel and vinegar to the fact that his Yao family has unlimited scenery overseas and a lofty status.

Although this young man and that young man had studied, where had they ever been to Europe, they were coaxed by Yao Fan for a while, and their eyes lit up, and they asked about the natural scenery of the West, the folk customs of the West, the architecture, literature and art, and the specialties of the West.

Yao Fan just had it at his fingertips, from antiquity to the Middle Ages, from the Middle Ages to the Victorian period, the bluffing two were stunned, and suddenly they didn't dare to call Yao Fan "Hanzi" anymore, and they all opened and closed their mouths with the honorific title "Brother Yao".

The young man in the room who was scared by Yao Fan's ** form was also listening, and while he was leisurely fascinated, he said in his heart that this rough man was not particularly coarse, not only well-informed, but also told the origin of all kinds of things in Taixi that he was many times better than the American Mr. White Dick I invited at home......

Seeing Yao Fan's mouth hanging like a river and talking about the two boys at the window like Fenglunyin, He Shicheng said in his heart that he couldn't lose our owner's share, so he hurriedly went to the store to ask for a pot of herbal tea, and stood next to Yao Fan with a teapot and a cup.

Yao Fan took the herbal tea sent by He Shicheng and drank it all, and then said from what he had just said: "If you want to talk about France, it's a long story, my grandfather was in Paris at that time, and he paid for Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Voltaire to open a factory and print newspapers, and he was almost not arrested...... Later, when my family inquired, I found out that Napoleon, the future emperor of France, had also read the newspapers printed by my grandfather...... If you want to say that Napoleon, but he is a character, don't think that he is short, and he can only be called Napoleon if he has a broken wheel...... No, he graduated from a formal military school, studied the Art of War, studied the war history of Sisaia, Persia, Thrace, Athens, Sparta, Egypt, Carthage, and ......

Yao Fan felt that the more he talked about it, the more it seemed like he was telling a story, but the two stupid boys in front of him were still listening very well, so he only cared about blowing, mixing the Yao family's fictional experience overseas with the history of Europe, and suddenly raised his worth.

The young man and the young man listened to Yao Fan's storytelling about how Napoleon bombarded Toulon with 45 artillery pieces for 48 hours, and then 6ooo people rushed up and took 'Little Gibraltar' in one fell swoop, where the Yao family had sent grain and grass to Napoleon. He also said that Napoleon was arrested and imprisoned during the Thermidorian coup, and the ancestors of the Yao family visited Yunyun in prison three times in 14 days......

Only half an hour has passed, and after countless nonsense, Yao Fan's image in the minds of the two has changed from a muscular naked man to a tall overseas businessman.

Yao Fan began to change the topic: "If you want to talk about the family history of these foreign countries, it is three days and three nights that you can't finish, let's talk about Spain, these people began to plunder the Americas as early as the Ming Hongzhi period of the previous dynasty, and by 166o, that is, in the 17th year of Shunzhi, the cumulative plundered gold was close to 6oo thousand taels, that is, close to 100 million taels of silver, as for silver, it was directly plundered nearly 500 million taels!" Later, the British saw that the oil in the Americas was fat, so they fought with Spain, and after defeating the Armada, they snatched down the Americas and began his plunder, and the place later felt that it was not convenient to be subject to the British, so they simply established themselves as a country and became a country called the United States.

In 1721, that is, in the 6o year of Kangxi, the British opened a factory for reeling silk with water power by the River Derwent in Derbyshire, and began to spin silk on a large scale, gradually getting rid of our dependence on silk in the Qing Dynasty and surrounding Asian countries.

In 1735, the 13th year of Yongzheng, the Swiss Blancpain opened a workshop to officially produce pocket watches. Since then, the Taixi people's grasp of time has been accurate to the millimeter.

In 1746, that is, in the 11th year of Qianlong, the Englishman Baroque built a sulfuric acid factory in Birmingham, and began large-scale chemical production, and British gunpowder became cheaper and cheaper.

In 1776, that is, in the 41st year of Qianlong, it was still this Baroque, he and another businessman, Bolton, invested money before and after, and helped a man named Watt to build a steam engine in this year, since then the foreigners no longer rely on water power, but began to use coal to drive the steam engine to make the factory run, and the foreigner's factories suddenly bloomed everywhere, after all, not every place has a river, but coal can be transported to any place where the road is opened.

In 1824, that is, in the 4th year of Daoguang, the British Asputin created ordinary Portland cement, which is what we called 'Portland cement' in the Qing Dynasty.

……………………

As Yao Fan added oil and vinegar to boast about the power of foreigners' factories, he advocated quantitative changes and qualitative changes, but when it came to 184o, he didn't say it, and changed the topic. This made the two young people both stunned and relieved.

The young man in the room was amazed, and asked with emotion, "Why does this person know so many miscellaneous things?" It is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned from the past and the present! But if he is so talented, why is he like those rough people, naked and shameless, and shower in broad daylight......

As soon as he thought of Yao Fanshicai's wet and vigorous Aconitum General, the young man's face immediately turned red, and he hated to die on the chessboard, he tried to forget it quickly, but he couldn't do anything.
