Chapter 13 The Chaotic Provincial City (Ask for Collection~Recommendation~Thank You~)
provincial capital
Yi Xiaojin took Aunt Thirteen, ran around a few places, and sold all the gadgets in his hand, mainly some mechanical watches with relatively high prices now, a bunch of artificial glass gems, glow-in-the-dark sticks, sunglasses, anyway, these are now many people think that the value is relatively high, especially the kind of sunglasses, Yi Xiaojin bought a bunch of them, all kinds, much better than the sunglasses of this era, the price, naturally a little higher. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
All kinds of them, two days or all sold, sunglasses and mechanical watches are now sold, but the price is a little higher, ordinary people are rare to buy, especially mechanical watches, although the watches of this era have appeared mechanical watchmaking, but one, that is a matter of Westerners, to the East side of the less, there are also price increase factors in it, the two to this time, watch production is not enough to the point.
At this time, if you can get a pocket watch, if you are not rich, it is expensive, which directly explains this, not to mention that Yi Xiaojin still got a watch in his hand, in short, the price is not low but a little higher, and there are not many watches to take, so it was easily sold.
"There's so much money again, Xiao Jin, how about we go buy a video camera?" Aunt Thirteen leaned next to Yi Xiaojin and said coquettishly, "I saw that there is a foreign company selling that, it is not expensive, it is only 300 oceans." ”
"Only three hundred oceans? That's three hundred oceans! Each of the militia brothers is only 1 ocean a month, and you are going to spend a month's salary on Brother 300! Yi Xiaojin said speechlessly.
"It's only thirty pounds!" Aunt Thirteen shook his arm vigorously and said.
"This thing is not very expensive, but those films are very expensive, if you shoot everywhere, the cost of one person is higher than the cost of hundreds of people in the militia group, not now!" Yi Xiaojin still shook his head vigorously, now these things have been cleaned up, although he said that he got tens of thousands of oceans of funds, but there are still some deficiencies in comparison, there are too many places to spend money, Yi Xiaojin doesn't want to just rely on that match factory to make money, that thing makes money and returns funds is not fast, it can only be the role of pulling relationships.
Aunt Thirteen rolled her eyes, now Yi Xiaojin has lost her money, everything is the militia group wants these and that, listening to the shouting for two days, the money is not enough, the money is not enough.
"I'm going back to give you something good to play with, and now I'm going to rush back, and it's night down in a few hours, you don't want to stay here for another night, do you?"
Stay one night, stay one night, Aunt Thirteen pouted.
"Then stay overnight, and see if you still want to play here." Yi Xiaojin looked at her face and said with a smile.
"Okay, but you still don't allow messing around at night, otherwise go back and tell Feihong!" The thirteenth aunt glared at him and smiled.
Hearing this, Yi Xiaojin said, we are already very upright and gentlemen, and we haven't moved our hands and feet, so we should be better than beasts!!
Now that things are busy, it doesn't matter if you play with them for such a day, and it's also a lot of trouble to make money in the past two days.
"That's good! Let's go shopping and buy more things by the way, anyway, you have a big bag that can't be filled, how easy! The thirteenth aunt clapped her hands and walked forward.
This big bag is the name of Aunt Thirteen's carry-on space for Yi Xiaojin, she always thought that Yi Xiaojin's carry-on space had never been able to be filled, and she bought several sets of dresses and easily packed them, which opened her eyes.
Compared with the Foshan area, the provincial capital area is relatively more affected by the war, and many things about the war are circulating on the streets, such as: Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties by the French army.
The Black Flag Army has rebelled again, and it is going back to the provincial capital to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
The Sichuan army was defeated, and the whole army was annihilated.
Zhennanguan was victorious, and the French army was defeated.
Zhennan Pass was defeated, and tens of thousands of Qing troops were wiped out.
Like this, Yi Xiaojin was surprised when he heard it, and the most rumors were rumors about how the Qing army lost, in short, no one was optimistic that the Qing army could win.
Want to know who the other party is? France, Emperor Xianfeng's Frenchman rushed into the capital, defeated the Qing army in the Gyeonggi area, and even robbed Lafayette's Old Summer Palace. Now that the people in the Annam area are in France, why bother to be the head of this injustice to fight against France, anyway, it's not my Daqing, he will give it to him if he wants.
Similar pessimistic rumours are rife among street vendors, teahouses, and restaurants. In short, it's just a sentence, if you can't win, don't fight, everyone can let France occupy Annan with peace of mind, how good.
However, there are many students and scholars who are arguing hard in the teahouse, the country has come to this point, and only by winning the war can the forest of the whole country survive. Then there was a lot of talk about how Lord Li in the north set up foreign affairs, but as the first provincial city to open a port, it is still like this, and there is no trace of hard work.
The thirteenth aunt on the side listened to these mixed words of information, and her brows were furrowed.
"Xiao Jin, I think those students are not bad, although they have less knowledge, but they are so self-motivated." Aunt Thirteen drank tea and said to Yi Xiaojin, who was looking out the window.
"What if people are impetuous, but what if they are self-motivated? They are useless scholars, they only know how to engage in the Westernization Movement, and some of them know how to take action in person? It's not all talking here, talking big and not paying taxes, whatever you say, it's just trying to get into the eyes of some people and ask for a background. Yi Xiaojin glanced at the bunch of talkative scholars over there with disdain and said.
In the era of the second mouth cannon, who hasn't experienced it, but this group of people looks like they are not young, and a bunch of people from the Tongwen Museum are studying there, and they are squirting all over the place, that's not theirs.
Yi Xiaojin doesn't have a good impression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he is full of disgust, but he is not the kind of person who travels through the people, and the existence of building a strong army and destroying the Tartars every minute. It's better not to interfere with this kind of thing, I have already changed many things when I arrived, and those things are left to people with lofty ideals to do.
"There is always a chance to realize their ideals." Aunt Thirteen smiled after hearing this.
"I said, you dragged me to the teahouse, and you didn't go shopping to buy things, just to let me see such a group of people here nonsense? Or is there some other plan? Yi Xiaojin turned his head to look at her and said.
Aunt Thirteen pouted, "No, I just thought, can we find some students to build a newspaper library?" Anyway, if you are familiar with the Admiral, he should be able to build a newspaper office. ”
"Your idea is much bolder than mine, the newspaper is not good, as soon as this thing is built, everyone has seen it, and when the time comes, it will be unfavorable to the militia group, so don't fight this idea." Yi Xiaojin immediately vetoed.
At this time, the voice of Alilua of the missionaries was heard downstairs, and the two looked down, and a group of missionaries shouted that Alilua was holding a cross, like an advertising cart on the street in the future.
Immediately afterward, another group of people appeared, dressed in bastard outfits, and rushed to the pile of missionaries with big sticks in their hands.
Then, after a beating, the missionaries were beaten and fled.
"! Which part of this, dare to hit that group of sectarians on this street, this is a lantern in the toilet to find shi! Yi Xiaojin said strangely.
"The White Lotus Sect, they often go to the miscellaneous churches, and almost all the foreigners in this area have been beaten. Those foreign adults have sent troops over more than once to exterminate them, but they ran away when they saw the foreign soldiers coming, and as soon as those foreign soldiers left, they came back, and this matter has been making trouble for a long time, and the government seems to have not seen it. The tea guest on the side spoke up.
"Isn't the White Lotus Sect a rebellion? Why is it specifically aimed at foreigners? Do they have that realization? Yi Xiaojin asked with a smile.
"Shhhh Silence! The tea guest raised his finger and shrugged, "Then I don't know, but ah, the little brother should pay more attention." You guys are dressed like this, the White Lotus Sect is called a fake foreign devil, and you have to be careful of being robbed when you walk on this street. After saying that, he left directly, thinking that he was afraid that the people of the White Lotus Sect below would be targeted.
Aunt Thirteen looked at the downstairs in confusion and the group of White Lotus Sect members who were looking around and said, "This is a complete gangster, why doesn't the government care about them?" ”
Yi Xiaojin shook his head, he didn't know the specific situation, and he couldn't tell a specific reason.
At this time, there was a murmur from below the teahouse.
Several people staggered upstairs, and the scholars upstairs all looked at the people, and when they saw that it was the group of White Lotus sect members who were smashed downstairs just now, they all sat silently, they all knew that this group of sect members was lawless and unscrupulous, and if you were beaten, it would be for nothing, and the government would ignore you.
"Foreign woman!" The White Lotus Sect members who went upstairs saw the thirteenth aunt in a dress and a hat at a glance.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed over with the sticks in their hands.
"Well, brain rub!" Yi Xiaojin took out his gun and shot at the feet of the group of people, blocking their pace of running.
"Don't come to show me with your brains, it's the most annoying person like this, there is a kind of thing you go to the warships of the foreigners at the mouth of the Pearl River and the concession area on the other side of the port, what are you teasing here!" Yi Xiaojin raised his pistol and pointed it at the few people standing there, "Now, get out!" Or die here, and I'll just waste a few bullets to kill a few of you. ”
A group of people nearby looked at Yi Xiaojin who was standing there domineeringly in surprise, this young man looked like a student who had returned from studying abroad just now, but he didn't expect to speak so imposingly.
Several White Lotus Sect members looked at each other with a drastic change in their faces, and stood there without retreating.
"Where did the kid come from is so rampant, my White Lotus Sect disciple is invulnerable, I'm not afraid of your foreign guns!" A middle-aged man who was obviously dressed a lot more formally stepped over a few steps, and several people jumped in front of those sect members, looking at Yi Xiaojin Dao.
Yi Xiaojin smiled, Zhen Nima is invulnerable in front of his brainless brother, do you want to fulfill him? Brother's pistol is a black star specially obtained, even if you have an iron sheet on your stomach, you may not be able to stop it, right?
Aunt Thirteen got up and stood behind Yi Xiaojin and whispered, "Xiao Jin, someone has gathered downstairs." ”
Following what the thirteenth aunt said, Yi Xiaojin looked downstairs slightly, and sure enough, a large number of White Lotus Sect members gathered.
