Chapter 845: Loading Arms But Liu Guigui
Why did Frangi react so much?
When the Qing court wanted to build the Luhan Railway, there was no money.
If you don't have money, you have to borrow.
The great powers were eyeing each other, and Zhang Zhidong, who was in charge of the overall situation at that time, was unwilling to let the powers control the railway, and finally picked the softest Belgium.
Because Belgium is only a small country.
Belgium, together with French capital, borrowed £4.5 million from the Qing court.
Because the Belgian consortium was responsible for supervising the construction and operation of the railway, there were thousands of railway workers who needed accommodation.
At that time, Frankie bought 600 acres of land at the price of 10 taels of silver per mu in Liujiamiao.
After buying it, he said to the Qing court: "You see the land, I also bought it, our workers want accommodation, I ask me to have the same concession rights as other countries, and you want to divide the concession area for me."
Zhang Zhidong's pick of Belgium is to pick soft persimmons, but this product kicked his nose and face.
Naturally, he disagreed.
Belgium had France and Russia behind it, and it persevered in dealing with the Qing court, and it dragged on for many years.
Later, Zhang Zhidong changed his strategy and was ready to pay for the redemption of this land.
The Franji lion opened his mouth, and the land that was originally bought for 10 taels was now sold back to the Qing court for 1363 taels.
Zhang Zhidong actually wanted to agree.
If it weren't for Zhao Chuanxin's big trouble in the Hankou Concession, this matter would have been done, allowing Belgium to succeed.
However, when Zhao Chuanxin finished making trouble, the matter ran aground, and it is still unresolved until now.
Now Zhao Chuanxin didn't say that he gave 1363 taels of silver for an acre of land, he even directly asked for the 600 acres, how could Frankie not be shocked or angry?
Seeing his reaction, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand at Liu Huaqiang: "Huaqiang, send off the guest for me, since you don't give it, then I'll take it myself." ”
Frankie was anxious: "Mr. Zhao, I will call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country......"
Zhao Chuanxin was originally happy, but at this time, he suddenly revealed his murderous intention: "Get out, if you say it again, you will die immediately!" ”
Frankie hurried out with a pale Paul.
And the person in charge of Lixing Foreign Bank spoke at this time: "Mr. Zhao, I am ......"
"It doesn't matter who you are, you people from Lixing Foreign Firm dare to beat me? If I am physically and mentally injured, I will use you to compensate for it. ”
"Ah, this ......," the person in charge of Lixing Foreign Bank was stunned.
Is there really anyone in this world who can hurt you?
At the door, Liu Huaqiang laughed out loud.
When Liu Huaqiang went down, he told the students about the matter, and everyone was very excited.
"Yes, you deserve it."
"But I don't think it's immoral......
"Fart, how much land and how much silver did foreigners rip away from us? Why can't our dean slander them? ”
"Little foreign devil, you have to remember not to insult the Chinese in this life!"
What is the correct concept?
You can blacken yourself, but you are united in one mind, and you will never allow outsiders to insult your own people.
Another student excitedly said: "Mr. Zhao said well, we must work hard to build China's first car, our own car!" We're going to build airplanes and cannons......"
Zhao Chuanxin didn't talk about technology, but he talked about the importance of what these students did.
Liu Huaqiang clenched his fists and said: "I think what Mr. Zhao said is true, we are really more important than we think." ”
"All gentlemen!"
"Encouragement."
……
On an ocean-going liner from west to east.
Samuel Goldberg and Liu Guigui are chatting with a well-dressed bearded foreigner.
Liu Guigui said with emotion in English: "Mr. Chamberlain, the last time we met on the train outside the customs, I didn't expect to meet again on the ship back to China, I have to say that we are really fateful, but I didn't speak English at that time." ”
Who speaks the best English among the teams going to London for the Olympics?
Surprisingly, it was Liu Guigui who could speak an authentic and fluent London accent.
Playing is a huge motivator.
The bearded foreigner is none other than Chamberlain, a geologist who once discussed global warming with Zhao Chuanxin on the train.
Chamberlain was a little surprised: "I really didn't expect to learn English so quickly." You've won a lot of medals at the Olympics? ”
Liu Guigui lay on the side of the ship, holding a cigar in his mouth and said lightly: "Fortunately, the Western countries are warm-hearted, and they are worried that we will be proud and complacent if we win more medals, so we kindly and secretly blocked it, otherwise we will really be proud." ”
“……”
Samuel Goldberg gasped, didn't pretend to force you to die for a while?
Chamberlain was in a trance and remembered that when he was on the train, Zhao Chuanxin had said something similar.
This is the proudest and most coercive group of Chinese he has ever seen.
He asked, "Didn't Ethan come?" ”
Ethan was Zhao Chuanxin's original pseudonym.
Liu Guigui shook his head: "He is worried that if he comes, he will let the Olympic Organizing Committee change the rules, because he can participate in dozens of events alone, and maybe one person can win dozens of gold medals, which is really unusual, and it will discourage the enthusiasm of all mankind for sports." ”
“……”
Samuel Goldberg couldn't take it anymore and coughed violently.
Chamberlain laughed: "You people in Lugang Town are very humorous. ”
Liu Guigui also laughed, but said in his heart: You stupid foreigners, you really don't know how powerful the salary is passed, and you still think I'm joking.
You have a hard nose for high jumping, and you are only more than two meters high. It's easy to get on the roof, otherwise how can you be called the roof god of war?
You use your strength to breastfeed, but you can jump more than eight meters, and this is also the distance for you to take an easy step.
As for shooting...... Rub, I'm afraid that the entire Olympic athlete is a younger brother.
Liu Guigui asked Chamberlain: "Mr. Chamberlain, what is the purpose of your visit to China this time?" ”
Chamberlain pointed to a group of teachers and students in the distance and said: "I have organized an educational expedition to the East for the purpose of China's natural resources, and I am going to take them to Guangzhou-Zhou, Guangzhou-West, Hu-Bei, Si-Chuan, Chong-Qing, Jiang-Xi, Shang-Hai, He-Nan, He-Bei, BJ, Fengtian and other places. ”
Liu Guigui bared his teeth: "You are really rich." ”
He already knew how much it would cost to travel in such a group, and it would cost too much money.
"It's worth it for academics."
Samuel Goldberg was also quite able to speak, but he couldn't even interject at this time.
Just watched Liu Guigui's performance.
Because last time Liu Guigui and Zhao Chuanxin met Chamberlain and his son on the train, and listened to Zhao Chuanxin discuss geology and global warming topics with them, they couldn't understand it, and they couldn't interject.
After going back, I learned from the pain and felt that it was too embarrassing to be uneducated, so I learned about the relevant knowledge in detail.
He is now a man of few words, and he can say a few words about anything, but that's enough, enough to be impressive.
After all, there is a library in Lugang Town, and you can find all kinds of materials, which is a paradise for people who want to study.
Pretending to be forced, so that Liu Guigui progressed.
……
Zhao Chuanxin is importing and exporting materials from the "Old God Codex".
Glass is introduced, and Truesight Crystals, Rune Shards, Salamander Explosives, Primer Materials, and Micro Energy Crystals are exported.
The price of making bronze eyes is not small, but it is only because Zhao Chuanxin broke many desert emperors' true vision crystals at that time and obtained a large number of materials, so Xingyue made copper eyes one by one, which is considered to be nothing.
Xingyue said: We have a total of 15 bronze eyes, numbered 1-15. No. 1 - Mountainside Cottage. No. 2 - Residence in Kohama Province. No. 3 - Zha - Lantun outside the mountain. No. 4 - Morrison Library, Beijing. Number 5 - Flying in the Sky. No. 6 - In the gap of the earthen wall of the city wall next to the east gate of Liangzhou City. No. 7 - Qinling Yumai Mountain. No. 8 - Ba Gong House. No. 9 - Lake State. No. 10 - Hong Kong Island. No. 11 - Ao Island. 12-15, where are you going to insert it?
Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said: "No. 12 - Honolulu, Hawaii, No. 13 - Ethan Manor, North Tower, New York, ...... The last two, the last two, are left in case of emergency. ”
Wilhelmina would have felt if he knew he had eyes and was not in Amsterdam.
Anyway, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't think of her at the moment.
Xingyue said: Okay, let's do this first, and after buying worm silk to make true vision rune fragments in the future, you can insert them wherever you want with enough copper eyes.
Xingyue has mastered the two runes of True Vision and Sturdy, and it can be empowered by making rune fragments by itself, saving silver.
As soon as Zhao Chuanxin opened the "Old God Codex", he closed it again.
Because:
[There are many high-rollers who come to inquire about tea and silk, but I don't have stock anymore.] 】
He only has glass at hand, and he can't delay making money.
Thinking of the unloading workers who saw the bustling wharf carrying tea during the day, and the tea storage warehouse lined up next to the city council building, it was difficult for Zhao Chuanxin not to be moved.
Hankou is the largest tea market in the interior of the country, and tea from all over the country gathers here.
Some of them were shipped to the Northwest Territories, some of them were distributed to Tsarist Russia, and some of them were transported by sea to the Western countries, especially Britain.
Therefore, among these tea merchants, Britain and Russia are the largest.
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "Who would spend money to buy it if it is free, really." ”
He can't steal from the Chinese tea merchants, and he can't take the goods without telling the porters, that will trap his own people.
But the tea leaves deposited in the warehouse are no problem.
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't even change his nightgown, and beckoned Xingyue, who was making grenades and bursting arrows: "Let's go, let's get the tea." ”
Entering the soft gold armor and putting on the shadow cloak, Zhao Chuanxin jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Xingyue said: The second house on the left is the tea of the Ba Gong brothers, just about to open the door, you can sneak in.
Zhao Chuanxin easily slipped in.
He wasn't going to break the locks, he wasn't going to empty the inventory, he was just picking, loading some and leaving.
Go out, go to the roof.
Xingyue said: The warehouse of Tianxiang Foreign Bank can be entered.
Zhao Chuanxin immediately slipped in.
There are more tea wooden boxes here, and there is a foreign woman's pattern painted on the outside of the wooden box, which looks very beautiful.
Zhao Chuanxin picked and chosen, packed 49 boxes and left.
Xingyue said: You can get some soap from the foreign company of Bonemen, and the soap will sell well in Rune City.
Zhao Chuanxin was as good as a stream, and went to pack a few boxes of soap.
Xingyue said: Latham & Watkins has ordnance and ammunition in it, and you can enter it at this time.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
Just open the box and take a look, blanch......
It is full of Remington Lee M1882, how to say it, the father of the British Lee Enfield rifle is Lee Maitford, and Lee Maitford's father is Remington Lee M1882, although it is the best rotary rear pull rifle at that time, but Zhao Chuanxin can't look at it, but he can't keep it.
Fill the secret realm, insert the eye, teleport back to unload, and then teleport to continue loading.
Emptied up this bit of inventory, Zhao Chuanxin closed his eyes and continued to the next one.
He came to a foreign company, dealing in machinery and oil, and Zhao Chuanxin stole the oil press.
Hengxin foreign company, all kinds of pigments and chemical dyes.
Shunhe foreign line, took cigarettes and alcohol.
Doing this kind of thing is addictive, Melchers light bulbs, Hankow Electric Light Company light bulbs and generators, Jardine Matheson cow sheepskin and sugar, General Electric X-ray imagers, light bulbs, transformers, high-frequency alternators......
It is not advisable to fish with all your might, Zhao Chuan's salary is evenly wet, and each family takes some points, so that they will not break their muscles and bones, which fills the three empty rooms of Ba Gong's house.
He was busy until about nine o'clock in the evening, and he teleported back to the Bagong house.
Open the Code of the Old Gods and teleport what Xingyue thinks is valuable to make an inventory.
[The craftsman went to the bookstore to buy books and came back and said to me: Fearless Pioneer, when I was buying drinks at the tavern in the Lower North City, I heard someone say that the mint had been stolen and that the curling machine, power worm silk, and heat source gems had been lost. The master of the mint said that whoever found the lost goods and caught the thief would reward him with rune fragments worth eight hundred thousand gold coins. 】
Zhao Chuanxin heard the number of "800,000", and his hands couldn't help shaking.
[I'm not very interested, I just want to do business with peace of mind, and casually ask him: Then in your opinion, where will the thief hide? 】
[The craftsman also said casually: If you want me to say, the thief must have hid in the sewers just like we did.] It stinks, it's like hell. Except there, there was no hiding place that could escape the eyes of the Desert Emperor. 】
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Zhao Chuanxin wrote:
[I said: Craftsman, you go and contact the master of the mint and tell him that the Upper East Side Intrepid Pioneers are interested in looking for these lost items.] 】
[The craftsman didn't long come back and said to me: The master of the mint promised that if you found the lost item, he would honor the promise of a reward for rune fragments worth 800,000 gold coins; If you catch the thief as well, he will reward you with two more Heat Gems. 】
Xingyue reminds: The heat source gem is 50,000 gold coins, which produces heat equivalent to burning 7 tons of coal, and the heating effect of adding it to the soft gold armor is far higher than the energy conversion efficiency of the blue crystal, which is enough for you to use for 15 to 20 years. Buy Thermal Rune Fragments to release the heat, and the hot water flow is circulated through the motor pump to lay pipes, enough to heat your new house in the Hohama Mansion for an entire heating season.
Zhao Chuanxin was thrilled and wrote:
[I said: Tell the director of the mint that I hope he keeps his word, the Upper East Side dreadnought vanguard is very grumpy.] 】
[The craftsman endorses the master of the mint: it was a polite and humble gentleman, who said that he would never break his word by handing over the runes with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.] 】
Zhao Chuanxin listened and greeted Xingyue: "Xingyue, do your job." ”
Open the channel of holy light and substitute into it.
Zhao Chuanxin told his brothers and sisters and craftsmen: "You guys are looking after the house and selling goods, and I will come back before you sell a thousand gold coins with a turnover." ”
Brother and sister and craftsman: "......"
The general was born bold and heroic, and his waist was crossed by the autumn water goose sword.
Zhao Chuanxin was wearing soft gold armor and carrying a light knife on his shoulder, and in a blind corner without a true vision crystal, he got into the sewer.
The main one can't smell.
Anyway, "I" have always been hard-working.
Even Xingyue said: There are too many creatures here.
A foggy spot of light appears on the glasses.
Zhao Chuanxin's scalp was numb.
He walked forward, and the stars and moon were detected at the same time.
The sewers of Rune's City are well built and extend in all directions.
Xingyue said: The probability of a gang of thieves committing a crime is 83%, the probability of thieves being in the sewer area near the sweat stolen stolen is 23%, the probability of thieves being in the sewers of the mint is 48%, and the probability of thieves being in the sewers of the palace is 93%.
"Wait......" Zhao Chuanxin wondered, "Why is the probability of thieves in the sewers of the palace so high?" ”
Xingyue analyzed: The last time you entered the palace, did you find that the toilet in the palace has accumulated dust for a long time, the palace is very dry, and only the air in the garden at the top of the palace is humid.
Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while: "It seems like this." ”
Xingyue said: I read the drawings of the construction of the sewers in Rune City, and the sewers under the palace are independent, and I suspect that it is very dry and there is no dirty water there.
Zhao Chuanxin had another question: "Then why is no one using the toilet in the palace?" ”
Xingyue said: Last time I went to the palace, I only detected a few vital signs.
"What do you mean?"
Xingyue said: The Desert Emperor - he is not human! He's a puppet!
Zhao Chuanxin was shocked and hung off the line.
"Puppet?" He hesitated, "Are you sure?" ”
Xingyue said firmly: I can't make a mistake within the sensing range. According to the memories of the black puppet craftsmen, the desert emperor could observe them in the garden at the top of the palace, making puppet soldiers for half a month without sleeping, eating, drinking, or excreting!
That's so ruthless!
No matter how urgent Zhao Chuanxin's thirst for power is, he will definitely not make himself a puppet.
But the Desert Emperor dared.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin was relieved. In order to pursue beauty, many women have fake nose bridges, no flesh in their lips, tattooed eyebrows, and not necessarily bones in their chins...... Perhaps, as long as there are conditions, these people are eager to change all the parts of their bodies.
They only seek beauty, and the Desert Emperor pursues something else.
Essentially no different.
No wonder a cannon thrown from a high altitude can't kill him.
Xingyue analyzed that the probability of thieves going into the sewers under the palace was 93%, but she did not arrange for Zhao Chuanxin to go there directly.
Xingyue planned the route from memory, from the Upper East Side to the Mint, and then diagonally inserted into the palace sewers.
Search all the places where there is a high probability.
There are many strange creatures in the sewers, some of which look like octopuses but can walk quickly on land, and fly around the walls to catch all kinds of insects and show off their mouthparts under their stomachs.
Xingyue reminds: stay away from it, it is a collection of diseases.
Fortunately, the soft gold armor has a good seal, and it will be disinfected when you go back.
When they arrived at the mint sewers, there were no thieves here, but Zhao Chuanxin saw a floating kettle in the dirty water.
Xingyue said: This should be the thief's accident.
Zhao Chuanxin quickened his pace and ran towards the sewers of the palace.
Xingyue stopped him: "Be a little louder, the echo in the sewer can travel far away." ”
After walking slowly for a while, sure enough, the sewer gradually dried up, and only the old dirt dried up and stuck to the sand wall of the sewer, and it was hard to pick off.
There are messy footprints on the ground.
Xingyue reminds: There are people ahead, move forward carefully.
Around the corner ahead, a few people were bending over and pushing something.
"Damn little monster, give me your baby."
"Don't mess with me, or I'll kill you when I grow up. My name is Dudu, not a little monster. ”
"Damn little monster, hand over the baby."
"I don't have a baby."
"The heat source gem stolen from the mint was quietly taken by you and thrown into the wall, I know you got a treasure in exchange, hurry up and hand it over."
"I didn't."
"Hit her."
Then there was a burst of screams and cries.
"Damn little monster, you're just the pet of the Underground Lord!"
"Search her dirty hair, where she usually hides her stolen things."
Zhao Chuanxin didn't react, "I" couldn't stand it.
Uncontrolled by Zhao Chuanxin, he rushed over: "Stop!" ”
Zhao Chuanxin: "......"
What the do you want to do?
