Chapter 266: A Count of Merry Characters

Park Zehu is not a small business.

His fields include cotton textiles, shipbuilding, mining, cement, and even natural gas.

The largest wooden steel plate steamer, the Daedongyang, was built by the Korean Shipbuilding Company.

In the future, he will also venture into the banking industry, where he will be one of the founders of Korea's first commercial bank.

So, as soon as I opened my mouth, the money donated was in the amount of 100,000.

He said, "In the early stage, I will donate 100,000 yen to Mr. Zhao's God of War team. Subsequently, I will slowly add it depending on the situation. ”

He spoke very straight, which clearly told Zhao Chuanxin: If you do a good job, you will continue to give, and if you don't do well, you will say goodbye.

Over the years, he has donated too much money.

But not every penny is used in practice.

After a long time, even if he is patriotic, he is not willing to waste money.

100,000 yen, that's not too little.

The Japanese bought horse bones for their daughters, and the reward for Song Bingzhen was 200,000.

In the case that Zhao Chuanxin doesn't want to pay out of his own pocket, the 100,000 yuan can be regarded as military expenses in the early stage.

He happily pulled up the homely routine: "Ah, it's so polite and generous." It is really a great blessing that Korea has a patriotic person like Brother Park, so why not regain sovereignty? Brother Park, what business do you do? ”

Pu Zehu told him everything.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly frowned: "You are still engaged in the copper industry in Yunnan?" ”

"Yes, I'm also involved in shipping. The Yankees had copper-rich deposits in Yunnan and mined them, and I also participated in the trade of copper ore, and also did shipping to make two shares. ”

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, for the sake of Pu Zehu's money, and decided to remind him: "Brother Park, you have to pay attention this year, it is best to stop the copper industry before autumn, because something is going to happen." ”

Pu Zehu was stunned: "No." At this time, copper prices have risen in the United States......"

Zhao Chuanxin said: If you are disobedient, you will have a share of the black money that Lao Tzu earns.

As early as a few years ago, Fritz Heinze, the copper tycoon, established the United Copper Company of America, and the stock price has been as high as 80 million dollars in 02.

Up to 40 million tonnes of copper are produced annually.

But he has a sworn enemy - the Anaconda Copper Company.

Anaconda Copper's annual production has reached a staggering 140 million tons.

The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and Fritz Heinze has always been crushed by the Anaconda Copper Company.

He was rather unconvinced.

A lawsuit ensued over a mining right, but Fritz Heinze lost, but continued to mine on the mine.

He doesn't take the courts into account.

In the end, Fritz Heinze paid a fine of 20,000 yuan and was able to get away with it easily.

First, this incident shows that the enforcement power of the courts in the United States was very low at this time.

Second, it reflects the characteristics of capitalist primitive accumulation in the United States, which is the law of the jungle and ignores the rule of law.

The Fritz Heinze brothers were the trigger for the economic crisis that followed soon.

If Pu Zehu's copper business accounts for the majority of his business, he will lose money in the future.

Zhao Chuanxin was reluctant to reveal any news about the crisis, but warned again: "Brother Park, they are all your own people, and Zhao will not harm you." Engage in transportation with peace of mind, and the rest will be talked about after this year. ”

Park Zehu will be skeptical.

But just like Zhao Chuanxin said, Zhao Chuanxin has no reason to harm Park Zehu.

"I'll go back and think about it."

has been in the business for many years, and it is impossible for him to give up some interests because of Zhao Chuanxin's words.

Zhao Chuanxin made a shallot mixed with tofu and spicy fried clams, this simple meal by the sea also made Pu Zehu happy.

He asked, "Does Mr. Zhao also understand business?" ”

"I know a little bit about it, it's a bit of a small deal in China, and the big investment is mainly in the United States."

Park Zehu was interested, put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking, and said: "I know a lot of famous businessmen in Korea, such as Li Shangzai and Jin Yujun. These were all patriotic businessmen who donated money and materials to the anti-Japanese struggle. If Mr. Zhao can lead the God of War team to make some gains, they will also lend a helping hand. Moreover, Mr. Zhao is in business, and we can actually cooperate. ”

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it, these Korean businessmen are really a force to be reckoned with.

"I have some ideas, but I'll have to wait until next year. When the time comes, I'll let you know, let's join forces to make Yankee money. ”

Park Zehu didn't know Zhao Chuanxin's economic strength, but he thought that he could form an armed force in the Qing Dynasty, and it would be nonsense to say that he had no money.

As long as it's not an empty glove white wolf.

So the guest and host of this meal were eaten as soon as possible.

Pu Zehu left the money, Zhao Chuanxin sent a mention of seafood, and a horse brand for Pu Zehu's self-defense.

"Brother Pu, see that your Yintang is black, these clams and scallops, take them back and cook them to make up for your body. I bought this gun at a great cost, and I treasured it for many years, and I burned incense and prayed to it every day, and recited scriptures. ”

Park Zehu: "......"

To the seafood, Park Zehu politely accepted it.

He can't put it down when it comes to horse cards.

But he didn't believe Zhao Chuanxin's nonsense of burning incense and praying.

He arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, there will be a period later." ”

"Brother Park walks slowly, take care of yourself. If there is something to find me, these stray babies on the street, just pick up one and whisper a few words, and the words will definitely be brought. ”

This point Park Zehu is particularly convinced.

Who would have thought of bringing together a group of wandering wild children as an intelligence network?

……

Hasegawa is a strict and serious person.

He loves clocks.

At this time, he held a watch in his hand, which was a valuable gift from the emperor, and it was a smaller and more delicate timepiece after the pocket watch, which was hand-made by the Swiss side, and it is said that it would take a year or two to make such a watch.

He likes to listen to the subtle sound of the gears of his watch, as time grinds into evenly sized particles from one gear to another.

The small voice will remind him that time flies, and his career will be more compact, and it will also make him forget the past when he was insulted by Zhao Chuanxin with nameless stinky liquid.

The smell seems to never dissipate between the mouthpieces, faintly smelling.

Hirobumi Ito knocked on the door and pushed the door in after receiving a response.

"Commander Hasegawa, Li Xi did not attend the Zen concession ceremony, I asked the eunuch to be a stand-in and completed the transfer of the throne."

Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, this is too expensive.

Ito Hirobumi could probably guess Hasegawa's thoughts, so he said, "This is actually Li Wan's idea." ”

Hasegawa is good.

Sure enough, if you want to govern the Koreans, you have to rely on these guys.

This has become an established fact.

Hasegawa said, "What should we do with the concubine who came to us for refuge?" ”

Ito Hirobumi thought for a moment and said, "I thought it should be publicized in the newspaper." ”

Hasegawa frowned: "In this case, don't you tell the Korean people not to care about the Japanese, otherwise your life will be in danger?" ”

This made Ito Hirobumi feel that Commander Hasegawa was really not suitable for civilian duties and did not understand people's hearts.

He said lightly: "Publishing in the newspaper has a positive effect. Zhao Chuanxin killed Park Qichun and his wife and raided their home. This news will make the ministers who are concerned about our Japanese Empire die and work together to fight against Zhao Chuanxin. In the newspaper, we only said that the God of War team killed people at will for money, but did not mention the identity of Park Qichun. However, at the same time, we also told Li Wanyong and others about this matter in private......"

Hasegawa Yoshimichi admires the methods of these people to play with intrigues.

He praised: "Kill two birds with one stone, good strategy." ”

As he was talking, the secretary hurried in with the newspaper that had just come out today.

Hasegawa glanced at the newspaper, and his face changed suddenly.

Hirobumi Ito asked, "Commander Hasegawa, what happened?" ”

Hasegawa Yoshimichi first picked up the newspaper and read it, and then handed it to Ito Hirobumi: "We don't need to publish the newspaper, Zhao Chuanxin, the thief, took the lead in making up the story and publishing it in the "Korea Daily Declaration". ”

Ito Hirobumi was stunned, took the newspaper and read it.

The newspaper said: On that day, the God of War squad and the Japanese army fought fiercely in the city lane. Zhao Chuanxin passed by a person's house, and the head of the family claimed to be the official Pu Qichun. Saying that the alliance between Korea and Japan was the trend of the times, Zhao Chuanxin understood the current affairs and laid down his arms and surrendered. Zhao Chuanxin was furious and vowed to shed every drop of blood to protect the sovereignty and territory of South Korea. Looking up to the sky and reciting poems: I smiled at the sky from the horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. After reading it, kill Park Qichun. Park Qichun's wife scolded Zhao Chuanxin and the anti-Japanese guards and people, saying that they would not die well. Zhao Chuanxin killed his wife......

I'm Cao ......

Hirobumi Ito felt his scalp tingle.

Make up stories, Zhao Chuanxin really understands.

He dared to swear to the sky that Zhao Chuanxin was by no means the kind of selfless and selfless person, and this poem was a joke to him.

Zhao Chuanxin's sinister intentions, he can also speculate a thing or two, it is nothing more than trying to muddy the waters in Korea, where is there any noble person who asks for the lives of the Korean people?

"Baga, Zhao Chuanxin......"

Hasegawa Yoshimichi saw that Ito Hirobumi was even more angry than he ate Sho at that time, and persuaded him: "Ito Commander, don't be angry. Zhao is a salaryman, and he is also a member of the beam. It is still necessary to win the final victory on the battlefield with an upright division. ”

Ito Hirobun came to the city very deeply, but Zhao Chuanxin was too good at jumping, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he jumped.

He took a deep breath: "Commander Hasegawa, in that case, it's up to you next." ”

In fact, the news about Park Qichun is only the first step.

Even, on Liang Qiduo's desk, there is already a synopsis of the second news article, as long as there is a snot baby to report, he only needs to fill in some details, and he can be published in the newspaper.

We all know that a storm is coming, and the question is when it will pour.

……

According to statistics, there are 168 islands in Jemulpo, which are scattered around the islands of various sizes.

There are currently just over 90 inhabited islands.

On an island,

Zhao Chuanxin was on the beach, wearing mud trowel gloves, gathering sand into a tower, condensing into a stone monument.

took out the elf carving knife and engraved a few words on the stone tablet: God of War Island - March 23, 33rd year of Guangxu.

The characters use a funny pebble body to show the difference.

Compared with calligraphy, Zhao Chuanxin has no advantage in this era.

Then let's be simple, self-black: Lao Tzu's words are so chic, how can I love it.

Many years later, in the era of "rough pen writing buoyancy" in Korea, this type of font became popular, and they called it - the god of war.

On the beach, after Zhao Chuanxin made the stone stele, he paced with his hands behind his back.

Xian Yubin had already completed a lap on the island and scouted the terrain.

He panted and said, "Sir, there is no one on the island, there is fresh water, but the place is too small." There's a place with sand and gravel, it's quite hidden, I'll take you there. ”

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a robe, his clothes were fluttering, and he was holding his hands behind his back with a fairy wind and bones.

"Lead the way."

The reason for the seclusion here is that it is surrounded by several green hills, with a shallow pool in the center, surrounded by gravel mudflats that are not conducive to the growth of plants, and green shrubs, which cover the water with clear shade and a strong aroma of plants and trees in the air.

It's not a great place to live, and the humidity can be very heavy.

But as a temporary stationing site, it is sufficient.

Zhao Chuanxin put on a mud trowel glove, stretched out his left hand, and recited the words in his mouth: "The baptism of the holy fire in Trostar, the melting of the waves of Poseidon, I summon your divine power in the name of the god of war-rise!" ”

There was a scene in front of him that Xian Yubin would never forget for the rest of his life.

The sand on the ground swept away, and the clear sand washed by the water melted, collected, and squeezed in the air, forming a solid wall.

Where Zhao Chuanxin passed, the foundation of the wall was formed and rose from the ground.

Xian Yubin trembled his fingers, touched the stone wall, and didn't feel the burning of his hands, indicating that this was not cast with fire, this was - spell!

Zhao Chuanxin said that it was quite fun.

These stone walls that rise from the ground can be played with and change their shape at will.

You can handle it however you want.

This kind of carving, compared to his carving skills, is more coarse, but also more interesting.

Carving on small pieces such as jade, turquoise, southern red agate, and ivory is completely different from the axe and chiseling on a wall, a house, or even a mountain.

Zhao Chuanxin not only wiped out the wall, but also used more sand and gravel to turn it into lines to form a natural yang-carved relief.

He took out the elven carving knife and carefully retouched the lines, at first it was a general on horseback, judging by the absence of stirrups, the era of this general must have been a long time ago.

The horse's hooves were galloping, the cloak was hunting, and although the wind was not drawn, Xian Yubin seemed to hear the wind whistling in his ears.

In front, it is still a horse riding general, the shape of the horse galloping slightly changed, the general's helmet on horseback is inserted into the childish feather, the thin waist is tied to the back, the shoulders are hugged, the face is like Fu Fan, the sword eyebrows are closed into the sky and the forehead is inserted into the mustache, a pair of handsome eyes are indiscriminate, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd.

As Zhao Chuanxin moved forward, the posture of the horse and the appearance of the general on horseback were different.

Finally, there was a man of the same height, riding on a tall horse, with the same beautiful hair, but with a cigar in his mouth and a rifle across the horse's back, and an unstoppable expression.

At first glance, it is a modern person.

Isn't this exactly Zhao Chuanxin?

Xian Yubin doesn't understand art, but he generally understands.

Zhao Chuanxin is to paint the ancient gods of war on the wall, such as Xiang Yu, such as Huo Quzhi, such as Lu Bu, such as Chen Qingzhi, such as Yang Zaixing......

At a glance, it looks like a generation of war gods riding fast horses, traveling through time and space until today.

Then he Zhao Chuanxin is also a god of war, and he has the same status as them.

Sure enough, Zhao Chuanxin carved another row of words: All the past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present!

He took two steps back triumphantly, and looked at the wall with his hands in his hands, his expression full of ambition.

With the addition of this sentence, these reliefs have a deep outline of time and space, and have the heroism measured by centuries.

The stick of the later generations, I don't want to know that he can't be the god of war Zhao Chuanxin.

God of War Island will become a famous attraction in the future.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Xian Yubin: "Look at it, what is the difference between this row of gods of war in the end?" ”

Xian Yubin scratched his head: "The front is majestic, and the last look, well, a little cynical." ”

"For Liao, they are all heroes, but the last god of war has reached the realm, and there is no need to pretend to be forced in front of people, and the name of the god of war will spread far and wide. This is the realm. ”

Xian Yubin: "......"

Next, Zhao Chuanxin did not erect the wall again, but erected stone pillars one by one.

Xian Yubin asked curiously: "Sir, don't you build a wall?" ”

"That wall, I only built it to get that relief. For the rest, just erect a few pillars and build a grass hut to shelter from the rain. ”

Isn't this called pretending?

The emotional effort is so great, just to leave a name in the world.

Zhao Chuanxin erected the pillar, and the remaining shelves had to wait for the people of the God of War team to come back and cut down trees and build them by themselves.

After roughly getting it done, Zhao Chuanxin looked around and saw that those mountain bags were really short.

I climbed a bare hill and remodeled it with mud trowel gloves, and climbed it up one after another.

The half-moon-shaped mountain, on the outward side, looks like a mountain bag, but it is taller.

On the inward side, there are rows of stairs, and there is a hidden lookout at the top, so that you can observe the sea in the distance and be alert to the Japanese fleet that may appear at any time.

Zhao Chuanxin observed it and found that the lookout was still a little conspicuous.

shouted to Xian Yubin: "Go dig a small tree." ”

Xian Yubin went to dig up a hibiscus and carried it up the mountain.

Zhao Chuanxin moved the hibiscus outside the mountain, blocked the lookout, let Xian Yubin help him up, and ran back to look out.

"No, move to the side, block the view."

After several adjustments, I finally found a suitable place to arrange the hibiscus.

Here comes the problem again.

The mountain is full of sand and gravel, and occasionally a tenacious weed emerges from a crack in the rock, but it is clear that the hibiscus that has been moved may not have the vigor and strength of the wood.

If you move it over, you will die, and it will be too dazzling.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while: "Why don't you pour some water?" ”

Xian Yubin shook his head: "People move living trees to death, sir, watering is useless, unless there is fertile soil here." ”

"Hey, wait, I remember you said that the surroundings of the Seoul Grand Hotel are strangely overgrown with lush weeds, aren't you?"

"Well, that's right."

"Bury the roots first."

After the roots of the tree were buried, Zhao Chuanxin told Xian Yubin: "Stand back, be careful of being injured by mistake." ”

Xian Yubin was startled, he didn't know what he was going to do, and hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the night pot of the old god and shook his wrist and nodded at three o'clock.

A cool, tantalizing-looking liquid of amber color in the sun spilled and poured over the sand and gravel of the roots.

This liquid, which penetrates more slowly than water, slowly fills the gaps in the sand.

It's just that a foul smell instantly spreads.

Xian Yubin: "Vomit ......"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't say a word, turned around and ran.

Although I ran a long way, the sea breeze still faintly smoothed out the smell.

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin let go of his breath, looked at Xian Yubin, who vomited a wave, and said, "Didn't you let you hide away?" ”

Xian Yubin wiped his mouth: "I thought the distance was enough, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of accidental injury." ”

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "This smell dissipates quickly, and it shouldn't be long before you can't smell it." ”

The liquid in the Night Pot of the Old Gods, when it comes out of the pot, it really stinks.

But in the evening, the taste is like tea brewed for more than a dozen rounds, and it is already very bland.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Salted Yubin, go up and take a look, is the tree alive?" ”

Xian Yubin's face was full of embarrassment, he didn't want to vomit again.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin said: "I still have to cook, we have to divide and cooperate." Don't you eat dinner? ”

Eating is Xian Yubin's seven inches.
