Zhao Chuanxin broke the wax seal and threw it out of the car.

Cui Fenghua's eyelids jumped.

In these years, some people will carefully dismantle the wax seal and collect it, or recycle the wax seal for reuse, and rarely throw it away as casually as Zhao Chuanxin.

After opening the letter, Zhao Chuanxin took out a stack of papers from it.

In the Qing Dynasty, literati were required to behave properly, such as Bagu Wen, and the same was true for handwriting.

Under this influence, most of the calligraphy of the literati was rigorous and standardized.

This letter was written in the name of Liu Yonghe, but it was obviously ghostwritten, otherwise with Liu Yonghe's two brushes, he would not have been able to write such a skillful calligraphy, excellent pen control ability, and subtle and steady calligraphy.

The content of the letter: The Japanese are ruthless and untamed, and they have repeatedly violated the border, but recently there have been rumors that the Japanese want to draw land with the Qing court, and they have the intention of signing a treaty. Personnel disputes, whether true or false. However, recently, the Japanese have increased their troops by thousands, and they have gathered to fill the border......

Zhao Chuanxin had a headache and muttered, "Translate it for me." ”

Cui Fenghua thought that he wanted him to translate, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped on the back of his hand by Zhao Chuanxin, and it hurt......

Cui Fenghua was a little confused.

Zhao Chuanxin's words were naturally said to Xingyue.

Xingyue translated the contents of the letter into the words that Zhao Chuanxin was accustomed to on his glasses.

Liu Yonghe probably said that recently there was news from the Qing court that the Japanese wanted to divide the territory and sign a treaty.

But it's just hearsay, and the truth of the matter is still uncertain.

Recently, however, the Japanese began to increase their forces on the Korean border, repeatedly invading.

At the beginning, Liu Yonghe fought with them back and forth.

After a long period of training, today's backwater army is no longer the backwater army that was taught by the little devils at every turn, and there is already a prototype of a strong army, at least they have been fighting for many years, rather than only practicing without fighting like the new army of the Qing court.

But after the Japanese increased their troops, Liu Yonghe couldn't stand it, and when Zhao Chuanxin was still in Lugang Town, the materials that were stored in many places on the border have now been used.

Lugang Town is now also financially stretched, and there are many large projects, such as the construction of roads and airports, which make Lugang Town unable to make ends meet, and it also requires the Hong Kong Island Xuantian Sect to violently export firepower to Lugang Town.

After a long time, there have also been opposition voices within Xuantian Sect, although they are all related to Zhao Chuanxin, but in the end, the family must settle accounts.

All in all, Liu Yonghe is having a hard time now.

It is probably to complain to Zhao Chuanxin and turn his fate.

At the end, as soon as the conversation changed, Liu Yonghe mentioned a person.

This person's name is Xu Jingxin.

In the past two years, Liu Yonghe has not been idle, not only has he become close friends with Wu Luzhen, but he also got to know Xu Jingxin through Wu Luzhen.

Xu Jingxin is a person of Sun Gongwu, and his status within them is very high, and he coordinates the revolutionary cause of the entire north, and he went to Yanji this year, mainly in that area.

Liu Yonghe not only asked for money himself, but also said a lot of good things for Xu Jingxin, saying that Xu Jingxin helped involve the Japanese and worked tirelessly to recapture the Majima area.

It means that Zhao Chuanxin will also fund the activities of the alliance over there by the way.

Zhao Chuanxin affirmed their tireless rebellion, but was skeptical about the flow of their money.

Sun Gongwu has actually raised a lot of money over the years, but every time he acts, not only are there few people, but the ordnance is always weak, and the communists can't see a few guns.

Compared with the real millet + rifle fighting hard in our army behind, Sun They are actually very rich.

Our army is thunder and rain, and they are always thunder and rain.

Zhao Chuanxin gave money once, but he didn't want to give money all the time.

Because he felt that giving money was also a waste.

The backwater army was formed by him, but he couldn't ignore it.

After reading it, Zhao Chuanxin asked Cui Fenghua: "What is the relationship between Liu Danzi and this Xu Jingxin now?" ”

Cui Fenghua's eyes rolled, and Zhao Chuanxin's face sank when he saw this: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but sometimes don't prepare blindly, think about the consequences before lying." ”

When Cui Fenghua heard this, he immediately sat down: "Back to Mr. Zhao, Head Liu and Xu Jingxin are now brothers and sisters, and they have a good relationship. ”

"Liu Danzi, have you joined them?"

"This ......" Cui Fenghua habitually left time for himself to think, but he looked at Zhao Chuanxin and hurriedly said: "No, no, Head Liu just has a good relationship with him, but the backwater army is the backwater army, and it is Mr. Zhao's backwater army." ”

Zhao Chuanxin was noncommittal.

He said: "You said earlier that you want Sakhalin Island and Yanbian to blossom on both sides, and I think this proposal is very good and reasonable. ”

Cui Fenghua hesitated: "What about money, food and ordnance? ”

"I'll talk about that later."

On the way, Zhao Chuanxin asked some more about Xu Jingxin.

Cui Fenghua told him that Xu Jingxin was very active in Ji-Lin this year.

In fact, the "foreign land" in Ji-Lin that is not under the jurisdiction of the Qing court is not only Lugang Town, but also a place called Birch-Dianzi.

The birch-dianzi Jiapigou gold mine is controlled by the Han family, and the Han family is called the golden king of Kanto, or the big brother outside the border.

Outside the border, it is the outside of the wicker side set up by the Qing court.

Some people even call it "Little Korea".

Later, he was appeased by the Qing court, and the Han family had an official body.

The Han family, who is behind the official, seems to be very honest and honest, and does his best to the officers and soldiers and the Qing court.

But in fact, after they are up and down, they are still not under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, so what should they do.

Even the original Huadian, Shuangdianzi, all belonged to the Han Bian territory, but later Lugang Town rose, and these places were forcibly under the rule of Lugang Town, although the Han family's territory was known as the Golden Kingdom, but they did not dare to call Lugang Town.

Xu Jingxin lobbied the Han family many times, wanting them to join the Tong-Alliance.

But it was refused.

If you think about it, you can understand that people have already taken care of the officers and soldiers of the Qing court, and they are living freely, so why should they wade into troubled waters?

After Xu Jingxin broke his halberd and sank into the sand, he turned around and went to find Liu Yonghe.

Liu Yonghe attached great importance to the Tong-Alliance, but without Zhao Chuanxin's words, he did not dare to join the association.

Cui Fenghua said that Liu Yonghe introduced many heroes of the green forest outside the border to Xu Jingxin.

Zhao Chuanxin has never used these bandits, but others treat them as fragrant and sweet.

As he spoke, he came to the palace.

The four of them got out of the car and entered the palace, and the people at the gate of the government greeted them one after another.

Zhao Chuanxin and the four of them went to the conference room, and they didn't call others.

In the conference room where Zhao Chuanxin is located, there must be a blackboard.

When Zhao Chuanxin hesitated slightly, Xingyue gave a map of Sakhalin Island on his glasses.

This is also thanks to the maps and geography books I saw at the Morrison Library in the capital.

Zhao Chuanxin drew it on the blackboard according to the map given by Xingyue.

At about 50 degrees north latitude, the islands are divided.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "The origin of Sakhalin, let's not discuss it. Let's just say that now, the south of Sakhalin Island is occupied by the Japanese, and the north is occupied by Tsarist Russia. ”

Zhang Shouzeng asked: "Prefect, what is so good about this Sakhalin Island?" ”

He didn't believe Zhao Chuanxin's nonsense about the peace messenger.

Zhao Chuanxin snapped his fingers: "There are dense trees, and 70% of the place is covered by trees; abundant water resources, 6,000 rivers, more than 1,000 lakes; It is one of the main salmon producing areas, and the herring eggs on the beach are piled up like hills on the beach; There's gold, there's a lot of coal, there's oil, and that's a strategic resource for the future......"

As he spoke, Zhang Shouzeng's nose fluttered, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to make Zhao Chuanxin die before.

Isn't that all money?

For the sake of a coal mine, Zhao Chuanxin can beat the British devil to cry his father and mother.

There are so many resources on that island, it would be strange if Zhao Chuanxin could sit idly by.

What's more, in the Russo-Japanese War, after Japan's victory, he fought with Mao Zi on the island.

This is the best time to fish in troubled waters.

Zhang Shouzeng's words changed: "So, Lord Prefect, how can we defend peace?" ”

Yao Jia: "......"

Okay, okay, now that we have reached an agreement, we are defending peace, right?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled at Cui Fenghua Nunu: "It's like what Xiao Cui said, start from Japan." ”

Zhang Shouzeng clenched his fists and said, "But we can't cause international disputes and implicate the whole country." ”

Yao Jia has the distinctive personality of the people of Lugang Town - she is never afraid of chaos.

He stiffened his neck and said, "What are you afraid of, the new army has been training for so many years, and it is a mule or a horse that comes out to slip away." ”

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "General Manager Zhang is right, we can't cause international disputes. On the contrary, we are here to defend peace. Didn't that Bellenath Bellenate accuse me? I responded to the call of the Committee on the Limitation of Armaments of the International Peace Conference in The Hague to join them as a member of the Commission on the Limitation of Armaments. ”

What kind of operation is this?

The three of them were stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigar and bared his teeth and smiled: "Very good, then we will make the first step clear, contact the Arms Limitation Committee and join them." In the second step, I will go to Sakhalin to establish an organization for the promotion of peace in the Far East and reconcile the contradictions between Japan and Russia. ”

Three: "......"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Zhang Shouzeng and said: "Very good, in the future, our Bureau of Negotiations with Russia will be renamed the Bureau of Foreign Affairs." General Zhang's office is responsible for negotiating with the Committee on the Limitation of Armaments. ”

Zhang Shouzeng thought about it, no matter what happened in the future, but there was nothing wrong with the negotiation itself, so he nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Cui Fenghua again: "You don't have to go back to Yanbian, you will be my secretary in the future." ”

Cui Fenghua asked: "Then who will go back to pay the errand?" ”

"What age is it that you have to travel thousands of miles to deliver letters? Didn't you have a telegram? Zhao Chuanxin scoffed.

Yao Jia was a little anxious, how could she be without him for such a dead face?

He said, "Prefect, what about me?" What am I responsible for? ”

Zhao Chuanxin already had a draft: "You are still the old business." Isn't there an interview event in our Yubin Mansion these days? It just so happens that you train a group of people, and when I set up the Far Eastern Regional Peace Promotion Organization on Sakhalin, Japan and Russia will definitely have a dispute over the resources on the island, and we have a long way to go, so we have to guide the market and distribute wooden and fish tickets! ”

A few people said a few words and decided on a major event that would attract the attention of the world, and they were all a little excited.

Finally, Zhao Chuanxin emphasized: "This matter has nothing to do with the country or the Bin Mansion, but the cause of international peace, and at most represents me Zhao Chuanxin personally." ”

The three of them smiled sneakily when they heard this.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin was like a toad, poking and jumping.

This time, Zhao Chuanxin had to take the initiative.

Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Cui Fenghua spoke: "Lord Prefect, the ...... of the backwater army"

Zhao Chuanxin bullet cigarette ash: "Oh, I will give Liu Danzi 50,000 yuan of military support, plus a thousand lever rifles and some ammunition, so that he can temporarily retreat and recuperate." Wait for me to go to Sakhalin, and then we will act together. ”

Cui Fenghua was relieved.

This is his first task in coming to Yubin Mansion.

He said with a solemn face: "Lord Prefect, I lost my mother at the beginning of the year, and now I am alone and have no long things. If the adults don't give up, then I will stay in the Mansion to serve the adults. ”

Cui Fenghua is a little slippery, but he does things properly, of course, his biggest shortcoming is that he is ugly, so he still doesn't have a daughter-in-law.

Cui Fenghua was also very excited, because when he came, he found that the woman on the grassland didn't seem to care about his appearance, and she was very enthusiastic.

Maybe you can follow Zhao Chuanxin to do things, and you can ask for a daughter-in-law to inherit the lineage.

……

Zhao Chuanxin asked Xingyue to count the recent increase in wealth.

Xingyue said: Excluding the expenses of Dreadnought Pioneer and others, and the daily turnover of 20% to buy all kinds of books, the current number of gold coins you have accumulated is 30,589, you promised to give Liu Yonghe 1,000 lever rifles, and the price Benjamin gave is 36 pieces of ocean for a gun, and the number of alloy coins is 3,600. The military capital is 50,000 oceans, and the alloy coins are 5,000. 50,000 pointed bullets and 500 alloy coins. You want to invest in a warehouse, and the purchase price is 58 gold coins. Buying a coal boiler in your mansion in the winter costs 9 gold. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, Rebecca Levi used her salary to buy, and did not touch the money. So, you have 21,422 gold left.

Zhao Chuanxin was twisting a string of olive core carving bracelets in his hand at this time.

The subject matter is 16 arhats, including Bin Duravara, Kanokava, Kanogavar, Subinta, Nochana, Bhadra, Kalija, Varavedoro, Ubaka, Semitoga, Rasara, Nagarana, Injata, Vanavas, Ashita, and Zhudha, a total of 16 Venerables.

It is not an ordinary open face carving, but a full-body portrait, the tip of the core is cut off, the olive core is oval, the figure is standing or sitting or lying, there is a couch with auspicious clouds and a bamboo pole or a magic weapon around him, and each one is full of work.

Such a meticulous can only be a miniature carving, but each Venerable has big eyebrows, a nose augmentation, a bearded statue, and a beard and hair texture, and such a small square inch can be carved with such details, which is simply amazing.

Sixteen Arhat nuclear carving, there is no top bead on it, but there is a turquoise tee jumping color below, the pagoda under the three-way is made of pure gold, and the thick line below is hand-woven to keep a record.

This is not Zhao Chuanxin's work, but Xingyue manipulated the black puppet craftsman to do it.

It's not that Zhao Chuanxin can't carve, it's just that it's too eye-consuming, too man-hours-consuming, so Xingyue OEM, not to mention, the carving is flawless, it's really good, and it's usually used to play.

Zhao Chuanxin was holding his hands cross-legged, and he was calculating silently in his heart.

More than 20,000 gold coins is actually a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket for Zhao Chuanxin's huge plan.

He asked, "Why is there so little?" ”

Xingyue asked for 20% of the daily turnover to buy books, and now Zhao Chuanxin feels a little heartbroken.

But it is very necessary to pour data into Xingyue, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not be long before the books that can be bought in Rune City will be read by Xingyue.

Xingyue said: The traffic of Rune City is still to be explored, while the Upper East Side is saturated and makes limited money every day. A shop in Hulun City that sells luxury items such as clocks and bottles costs only 648 silver dollars per month. In Rune's City, glass, tea, and silk are also considered luxuries, and the speed at which they can make money is already astonishing, far exceeding that of luxury stores on the planet. When your warehouse is open, pay customs duties according to your design, and then remove the Yao family's commission, your wealth will shrink further, but it will save you a lot of time.

The tariff was set by Zhao Chuan's salary, and he thought that the goods from the earth to the "Old God Code" could be regarded as passing through a "customs", and there was no reason not to pay the tax.

As a prefect, he can't take the lead in tax evasion, right?

Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to ask Xingyue: "Is there any other faster way to make money?" ”

Xingyue replied: Farming.

Zhao Chuanxin: "......"

Xingyue explained: I read from the book that the alchemist of the Brilliant Oasis needs a lot of rare plants. You can sell plants with a stinking liquid and the market will not be saturated for years. If I could go further, if I could learn the natural science and technology of the Brilliant Oasis, and use the plants we spawned to refine and sell potions, your wealth would grow faster than you could have imagined.

Scald...... Even the five-star general MacArthur said about it - too attractive.

Zhao Chuanxin swallowed: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's farm. ”

Xingyue said: Farming needs soil, and only the Bright Oasis in the Cursed Desert has this condition. And planting on the earth, once the species invades, it will seriously damage the ecological balance. So I suggest that soil be transported from a certain place to the sky and create a closed space in the desert for large-scale planting.

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of the War College he wanted to build.

No, it can't be called a war college, it should be called a peace college.

He frowned and said, "The black soil is the most fertile, but I don't want to consume the domestic black soil resources." ”

It will be illegal to sell black soil without permission in the future.

Of course, this concept is not yet available at this time. But Zhao Chuanxin has always been unwilling to overdraft his country's resources in advance, and it has nothing to do with whether he has violated the law.

Xingyue said: The Guanwai Plain is not good, there are also the Mississippi Plain, the Ukrainian Plain, and the red black soil of the Pampas grassland in South America. There are no unsolvable difficulties, only solutions that have yet to be discovered.

"Good!" If you use other people's resources to do your own thing, Zhao Chuanxin has no pressure in his heart: "I don't know where the No. 12 bronze eye has arrived......"

The No. 12 bronze eye is the copper eye that Li Ziyu asked to be transported to Ethan Manor in North Turry Town, New York, USA.

Zhao Chuanxin really wants to intervene in the world, but unfortunately there are only 15 bronze eyes at present, and if he wants more, he has to steal the Desert Emperor's True Vision Crystal.

Steal the crystal, and the Desert Emperor will notice.

If he dies, Zhao Chuanxin may not be the opponent of the Desert Emperor at present.

Build a Peace Academy, steal the True Vision Crystal, farm, seize Sakhalin Island, go to the United States to transport black soil, increase combat strength and fight against the Desert Emperor......

Zhao Chuanxin secretly calculated, these things are interlocking, not only to do, but also to do a good job, not even a single step.

In other words, you might feel a lot of pressure.

But who is Lao Zhao?

If you do one line, you will abolish one line, three hundred and sixty lines, and let it break the defense......

He didn't think too much about it, and opened the Old God Code first.

Because today is the day to make an appointment with the old beggar in the slums of Runeterra.

The old beggar took the anti-poison water in the stone, and Zhao Chuanxin wanted to see if he was unwell or died......
