Zhao Chuanxin's temper came and went quickly.

But I'm not in the mood to read the newspaper.

He lay in a chair with his head tilted back and covered his face with a newspaper to shade him.

This small courtyard is surrounded by earthen walls, which can shelter the wind and not be afraid of the wind blowing the newspaper away.

The wind in spring is relatively strong, and the buds of the plants and trees that have just been sent out are quickly blown out and lose their luster.

The earth is like a distant mobilization ready to go, and it urgently needs a spring rain as a gun.

But no matter what you say in the next few days, anyway, the sun is just right today, the breeze is warm, and the smokers are lazy and don't want to move.

Cui Fenghua, who was ordered to be Zhao Chuan's follower, was not a diligent person. In such good weather, he was as reluctant to move as Zhao Chuanxin.

So, even though Zhao Chuanxin seemed to be napping, he didn't leave.

In addition to the newspaper on Zhao Chuanxin's face, there were several copies on the small table.

Cui Fenghua picked up one and looked at it with relish.

The newspaper said that Japan had set up the South Manchurian Railway Company in China, saying that women's education had been recognized by the Qing court and had legal rights.

In addition, there was another piece of news that caught his attention:

France is going to host a car rally in Paris, the capital of Paris.

Cui Fenghua has never been abroad, and he has not even been out of the country.

But he vaguely knew that Paris was thousands of miles away, a distance beyond the reach of more than 90 percent of the world's people.

The actual mileage of this rally is: 16,000 kilometers.

And this news still has something to do with Zhao Chuanxin.

At the beginning of this year, the French Minister to China, Pasteur, sent a note to Prince Aisin Jueluo Yixuan, who then conveyed it to the Qing court.

His words were earnest: "Recently, there has been a special meeting in Paris and Kyoto. It was planned to pass through the three eastern provinces, Siberia and other places from the capital to the city of Paris to race its own locomotive, and set off from Beijing in the middle of June of the Western calendar, and asked the Qing court to help in China. ”

This matter was handed over to Aixin Jueluo Yixuan to supervise, and she had a veto power.

It has already been put on the agenda, and we are studying whether or not to agree.

For a moment, it was as if when the train first entered China, the ministers of the Qing court, and even Cixi, were full of fear of the steel beast. Now in the face of such a new thing as a car, my heart is also a little hairy.

Second, people who understand the meaning of cars say to Aixin Jueluo Yixuan that the purpose of this competition is definitely not pure. They believe that the Europeans wanted to open a route that could be used by cars, in order to crush the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which was built with Chinese funds.

Because Aixin Jueluo Yixuan is one of the major shareholders of this railway.

Therefore, the French side initially felt that the Qing court would not agree.

In fact, these people in the Qing court misunderstood, those French were purely here for the competition, and there was no other purpose at all.

That's the cognitive difference.

It's like if someone makes a movie about an alien attack, the alien spaceship can cross the universe to the earth, but when it invades, it plays melee with humans on the ground.

So some people will think that they have already developed a spaceship that can travel through the universe, and they can even fight in close combat? Isn't that ridiculous?

But why do aliens have to develop long-range weapons? Maybe the aliens are going to be more vigorous in melee weapons, isn't that okay?

It's entirely possible.

Earthlings think about alien civilizations completely according to their own thinking. If it is so easy to be expected by the earthlings, then the alien civilization is likely to be just the earthlings pretending.

This is the difference in cognition.

Later, Zhao Chuanxin met Aixin Jueluo Zaizhen on the train, and a series of things happened, which made Aixin Jueluo Yixuan and Cixi anxious, where did he have the heart to deal with the French?

It wasn't until Zhao Chuanxin returned to Guanwai that Aixin Jueluo Yixuan replied to the French ambassador to China: "Yes!" ”

This came as a surprise to France, but it was a welcome success.

Cui Fenghua was looking at the input, and suddenly heard Zhao Chuanxin say: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Ah, Captain Zhao, you didn't sleep."

"I've just been recuperating, after all, there are a lot of national affairs waiting for me to worry about, which may be called a thousand opportunities."

"......" Cui Fenghua didn't know how to complain, and then dusted off the newspaper: "Captain Zhao, it says that France is coming to us to hold something, what kind of power race." From the capital, drive the car to Paris, far away. ”

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "Let's rally." Can you drive to Paris with bumper cars now? ”

He knew what the car looked like now, it looked like a rickshaw with an engine, very simple.

Sitting on it with his size, it feels like a dog.

"What bumper cars?" Cui Fenghua asked curiously.

"Nothing."

"Captain Zhao, it also said that there are already more than 50,000 cars in France and more than 40,000 in the United States, but I am so big that I have never even seen a car, have you seen it?"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and found that it was cold, and put the tea bowl down.

Herbal tea is not good.

He smiled, "I've seen it, I've driven it too." ”

Cui Fenghua's face was full of envy: "Isn't it interesting?" ”

"It's boring, it's boring, it's not a pleasure to ride a horse in the short distance." Zhao Chuanxin said: "Fenghua, you have also read. I asked, what do you see behind this news? ”

If Zhao Chuanxin shaved off his beard, he would look like he was in his early twenties.

And Cui Fenghua is over forty.

So being called "Fenghua" by Zhao Chuanxin, Cui Fenghua was quite uncomfortable.

It's better to call it by full name.

But thinking about the status of the two sides, Cui Fenghua was relieved: "This, what can you see?" Because there are more cars, France is richer than the United States? ”

When it comes to wealth, Zhao Chuanxin thinks of money again.

I really miss the days of lavish spending in the past, but unfortunately they are gone.

Although going to the bank to withdraw money, it is not much fun anymore.

But another thing was enough to make Zhao Chuanxin smile.

He smiled and said: "The whole world is building railways and heavy industry.

In the United States alone, from 1905 to the present, seven or eight million tons of steel rails and hundreds of thousands of carriages have been used.

This has led to new industries such as electric power, automobiles, and chemicals.

That's the logic behind it. ”

Cui Fenghua is literate, where can I understand so much?

He admired from the bottom of his heart: "Captain Zhao, you are really amazing, you know so much." ”

"Feng Hua."

This time, Cui Fenghua did not have any resistance.

People are better than themselves, not only because of their status, but also because of their knowledge and knowledge.

"Captain Zhao, you say."

"So." Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "What do you see behind the industrial revitalization in Europe and the United States?" ”

Naturally, he is blind and can't see anything.

Cui Fenghua replied honestly: "I didn't see it, I insisted on what I saw, I guess I saw the silver of the white flowers." ”

Millions of tons at every turn, aren't they all silver?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, so insightful!" ”

"Ah......h

What you think seriously is nonsense, and what you talk nonsense has become insight?

He was still waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to explain, but Zhao Chuanxin was silent.

This made Cui Fenghua's heart itch.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Captain Zhao, what does this mean behind this?" ”

"It means silver, didn't you say everything?" Zhao Chuanxin said as a matter of course: "If the demand is large, the price will rise sharply, you should understand this truth."

The price is high, then those who pursue profit will flock to this feast.

But such a high price is difficult to accept by limited demand, so a large number of people will be trapped.

It's like a big poisonous smoke bubble in our mountains, which slowly expands and finally bursts.

When it ruptures, a poisonous miasma comes out, and it poisons the surrounding creatures at once. ”

Cui Fenghua was ignorant at first, and suddenly his head seemed to be enlightened: "I know." It's like Chinese cabbage is sold at a high price, and everyone comes to plant cabbage and invest in cabbage. The more you invest, the higher the price of cabbage. But the people who eat cabbage are limited, and those who invest in cabbage want to recover their costs and refuse to reduce prices. The cabbage market has dropped sharply, and these investors have lost a lot of money. ”

"Awesome Fenghua!"

Zhao Chuanxin really didn't expect that this product really understood.

Talent!

He found that even in this era, people with flexible brains abound.

But most people don't have a stable output environment and don't have a chance to get ahead.

Those who can get ahead may not be so smart, but only reckless, such as those martial artists who talk with guns every day, and they can mix well in the next era.

Thinking like this, Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Like, probably, perhaps, he was one of those brainless reckless men too.

That's not going to work.

Zhao Chuanxin patted his temples and hypnotized himself: I am a genius, I am the smartest, I am both civil and military......

He must earn some "pretty money" and let the world see his wisdom!

He suddenly got up: "Hey, poor poor people in America, I'm afraid this year will be even worse." ”

Coldly said this, Cui Fenghua was stunned: "Captain Zhao, why is this?" ”

"Because I'm short of money!"

"This ......"

Zhao Chuanxin got up, shook his head and said, "You don't understand it when I tell you." Let's go, call a few people, let's go to the rumor-mongering scene on the island to see the reaction of the masses. ”

……

Saito Jijiro and Shinoda Jisaku are also rushing to Majima.

He has found out the truth.

Saito Jijiro was furious: "Baga's damn Zhao Chuanxin, he forged the newspaper, so fake." Why would these foolish men and women believe him? ”

Shinoda Jike, who heard the news, couldn't believe it, but after all, he relied on his brain to eat, and he quickly figured out something.

He said worriedly, "Saito-kun, I did underestimate this person. He's smarter than I thought.

Do you think, who are the people who usually read newspapers?

In addition to middle-class families, officials, and intellectuals, the rest are the aristocracy.

We fake, it spreads from top to bottom.

But this man-made fake spread directly among the farmers.

He didn't take money and gave them newspapers for nothing.

The effect is different.

It was precisely by taking advantage of the fact that these peasants had not read the newspaper at all that he was able to successfully deceive these stupid people. ”

Hearing his words, Saito Jijiro didn't feel comforted at all, and urged: "Go faster, we must refute the rumors in time, and we must not let Zhao Chuanxin succeed." Zhao Chuanxin, despicable villain, ah tui! ”

The two of them took a group of South Korean policemen and hurried to Majima.

After arriving at the place, Shinoda Jisei asked many South Korean police officers to disperse and go door to door to refute the rumors.

"The news in that newspaper was fake."

"The Japanese didn't slaughter our peasants."

"Don't take the words of the backdroppers."

"Let's have a snack, think about it and know the impossible, why are you so stupid to believe it?"

"Japanese people are good people......

A group of South Korean police officers explained bitterly.

If you don't explain it, this matter may slowly subside.

This fanfare explanation makes people suspicious.

When the police left, Kennong said to his family: "Originally, I suspected that it was fake news, but you see that they explained so hard, ahh ”

Shinoda Jiseki secretly eavesdropped outside, wanting to see the results.

It turned out that the more he depicted it, the darker it became, and his face darkened.

couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Zhao Chuanxin, I really can't wait to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Originally, in the past two days, he was ready to start building the Tongjian Police Station.

As a result, Zhao Chuanxin just started to make a big move.

The most infuriating thing is that Zhao Chuanxin has already given him time to take precautions.

Tell plainly: "Are you ready, I'm going to spread rumors." ”

It's hard to prevent.

He followed behind the South Korean police and eavesdropped on the reactions one by one.

The results were not good, and most of the farmers thought it was true.

He hurriedly roared to Saito Kijiro's side: "Saito-kun, we can't sit still, we have to fight back!" ”

"How can this be fought back?"

Saito Kijiro is tired.

Shinoda gritted his teeth and said, "Since he did this, we can do it too." We also print newspapers and pour dirty water on them! ”

Saito Jijiro perked up: "Yes, let's imitate him, let's go!" ”

They summoned the South Korean police back and hurriedly went to the newspaper to concoct new rumors.

And Zhao Chuanxin came to Jian Island on his own feet.

At this time, outside the pass, there is already maize, which is the so-called corn and bud rice.

Most of the Korean farmers in the Majima area have traditionally cultivated rice, but there is also a small amount of corn.

In a small cornfield, combing small cobs that are reaching the sky, are turning over the stacks of corn stalks.

The good thing about corn is that it can be eaten and the corn stalk can also feed the livestock.

And in the corn stalk stack, the rats like to build their nests here.

This little cob is lifting the cornstack to catch the little mouse.

He turned and turned, and the dry corn leaves were turned over with a rattling sound, and the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other was a little tooth-sore.

But he didn't mind at all, and had a lot of fun.

A little mouse less than the length of a slap found that the roof of the house had been lifted, and a pair of black thief eyes glanced at it, and immediately slipped away.

The little stick pounced forward, but half a beat slower, and the rat ran away.

was annoyed, when he heard an even more annoyed voice behind him: "Oh, what a stupid person, I can't catch this." ”

The little stick looked back in amazement, only to see a pair of long legs.

His gaze moved up, up, and up again, and then he saw the man's face full of chagrin.

Little Stick: "......"

What are you anxious about?

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his collar and pulled him aside: "Look at me, I'm a good hand at catching mice!" ”

The little stick kicked around in the air with two small short legs, but to no avail, and was eventually thrown aside.

Zhao Chuanxin put a bundle of corn stalks in one hand, and after quickly turning over a few bundles, the little mouse appeared again.

The little stick watched coldly, wanting to see if he was really that powerful.

I heard Zhao Chuanxin say: "Dry rice, stop it!" ”

The dog takes the mouse and meddles in his business.

Dogs are more than a step worse at catching mice than cats, and dry rice is no exception.

But the advantage of dry rice is that the dog has a very smart brain.

It was not in a hurry to move, but first looked at the terrain, and then copied the back path of the rats and waited for the rats.

When the rat fled in fright, he found a behemoth in front of him, and he turned around and ran back in fright.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin had already come to the front, went up and kicked it, and directly stepped on the tail of the mouse, so that it could not escape.

The little stick was dumbfounded.

I didn't expect this kind of operation.

So looking at the dry rice, Harazi was about to flow down.

This dog is so powerful, he is greedy.

Zhao Chuanxin said vigilantly: "Little stick, I know that your nation likes to eat dog meat, but I advise you not to fight its idea." ”

"If you don't eat it, I'll touch it."

Cui Fenghua, who came with him, couldn't cry or laugh.

This Captain Zhao, how can he be like a child.

Zhao Chuanxin kicked the rat into the stomach, and then smiled and asked: "Little stick, let me ask you, are the Japanese here to kill again?" ”

"I'm not called a little stick." The little stick argues.

"Good little stick. Did the Japanese come to kill people? ”

The little stick thought for a moment and said, "The adults say that the Japanese killed people, but I didn't see it. I didn't see it, and I thought they didn't kill anyone. ”

I'm Cao ......

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Cui Fenghua: "Sometimes only children can see through the truth. The older you get, the more worrisome your IQ becomes. ”

Cui Fenghua was speechless: What are you saying to me? Look at me "older", right?

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Little stick, let me ask you, have you read the newspaper?" Do you think it's well written? ”

The little stick touched the smooth and clean hair of the dry rice, which was rare.

Seeing the torn rat that was stepped on by Zhao Chuanxin again, he shook his head regretfully, but it's a pity.

If he is given to him, he can play first, and then bake and eat it when he has had enough, and he will not waste it at all.

"I couldn't read the words in the newspaper," he said. But the paintings above are quite interesting, but unfortunately there are very few. ”

Hey?

Zhao Chuanxin had an idea: "Yes, is it only you who think so, or do adults think so too?" ”

The little stick scratched the back of his head, and the dandruff fell straight down: "Adults, you should also like to look at paintings, because many people are illiterate." But my dad was literate, but he didn't have time to teach me when he had to work in the fields. ”

When people want to go further, they may wish to listen to their children's suggestions.

Children tend to be more relevant to the point.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand, and there was an extra piece of candy: "I've sent you." Little stick, how many children do you recognize? ”

Seeing the candy, the little stick took it happily: "I know all the children here." ”

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes rolled: "Little stick, I'll come back tomorrow, you go back and secretly tell all the children here, so that they can come here tomorrow morning before dawn, don't alarm the adults at home." I'll give you candy, can you help me deliver the newspaper? ”

As soon as the little stick heard it, his eyes lit up.

He thought more.

First of all, there is sugar to eat, which is the main thing.

secondly

He asked, "New newspaper, are there still pictures on it?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "The new newspaper is full of paintings, let you read enough!" ”

"Well, you must come tomorrow."
