In the reception room of the Ba Gong house, Chen Kuilong said to Xu Xishen: "This Zhao Tan Gong is also weird, a good Ba Gong house, let a group of students occupy it and do not pay rent, I heard that he does not accept them to bind, except for eating, accommodation and study do not cost money, what is he trying to do?" Invite to buy fame? ”

Xu Xi wore a flower belt on his head, wearing a light-colored robe, which was no different from a man's robe except for the three colored laces on the cuffs, and he had a silk handkerchief with exquisite embroidery in his hand, which was just stacked and could not be seen.

"I don't know what the picture is, but I see those students who come in and out, their clothes are full of oil, black and shiny, what kind of system have they become when they are reduced to this?" Xu Xi was born in a famous family and is known for his love of cleanliness.

On weekdays, she reads and watches plays, those talented and beautiful women are personable, and in her impression, readers should be refreshing and clean, white and clean.

is such a good story of talented and beautiful people, otherwise who would be willing to play the drama of the charcoal burner and the yellow-faced woman?

The students of Juan Wang Technical College are diametrically opposed, many of them are disheveled, unkempt, and the oily stains on their faces are difficult to identify in the night.

Is this still a reader?

Xu Xi pondered: I think these scholars will not be of much interest in the future.

Chen Kuilong nodded: "If you want to say that Zhao Tangong is a good hand in war, but he can run the academy, then it is far away." ”

The enthusiasm of scholars in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was unimaginable to later generations of students.

Who would have thought that if a school was temporarily closed, the students would march again and write a letter of 10,000 words demanding the start of classes? In the future, everyone would like to have a few more days off to have fun.

The two of them were doing their best to belittle the ability of the Juan Wang Technical College, and there was a knock on the door outside the reception room.

Before Chen Kuilong could answer, the door had already been pushed open.

The leader is wearing a bronze giant beetle leather jacket lined with a black half-turtleneck cardigan, black jeans, and brown fleece round-toed boots.

Fragments of pendants of unknown material hang from the outside of the neck, like sweater chains.

The hair is tucked back and the hairline is low.

The most bizarre thing is that he is wearing a half-face mask, the mask is a toothy grinning expression, the texture of the shape fits the face perfectly, as thin as a cicada's wings, as if the person's expression is fixed.

Xu Xi's body was startled, and he felt his scalp tingle when he looked at it twice.

Chen Kuilong: "......"

Behind is Liu Huaqiang, the minister of the student union of Juan Wang Institute of Technology, who followed respectfully and step by step.

"Oh, Hua Qiang, you are really, Lord Chen is here, and you didn't inform me early. Don't accept gifts from people, or I'll be angry. Zhao Chuanxin turned his head to blame Liu Huaqiang, and then stretched out his hand: "The gift list is with you, quickly bring it to me and let me return it to Lord Chen." ”

Chen Kuilong, who came to the door empty-handed: "......"

Liu Huaqiang: "......"

Liu Huaqiang's face was strange, and he coughed: "Principal, it's not ...... No gift list. ”

Zhao Chuanxin listened and turned his head to look at Chen Kuilong.

Seeing that he was playing with a pure gold Ruyi in his hand, the Ruyi head was hollowed out, made of gold wire, the center was woven into the word "Lu", a unicorn head on the left and right, inlaid with rubies around the periphery, and a jade in the middle. The Ruyi handle is slightly curved, divided into upper and lower parts, separated by moire in the middle, and the symmetrical relief yellow warbler surrounds the plum.

China's filigree craft is world-famous, has never been broken, this gold Ruyi is very exquisite.

Zhao Chuanxin took three steps and two steps, walked over and snatched Jin Ruyi from Chen Kuilong's hand: "Oh, come here, what gift to bring, it's true." If you don't take it, Zhao will give you some kindness; It's really embarrassing to take it. ”

Chen Kuilong: "......"

He was almost sure that this person was Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin really stayed in Hankou all the time?

The newspaper claimed that Zhao Chuanxin was in Yubin Mansion, how to explain it?

This is not the afterlife, take a plane, go from north to south for three or four hours, and then send a circle to force you to say that you are not ashamed......

Chen Kuilong was puzzled again, and his heart was dripping blood.

Paralyzed, Jin Ruyi, sent by the Japanese, was not hot at hand, so Zhao Chuanxin snatched it away.

It's really a debt of hand, what kind of gold Ruyi do you get when you go out?

It's really because he likes this Jin Ruyi too much.

Zhao ...... Zhao Tangong, your net worth ......"

Chen Kuilong wants to say that Zhao Chuanxin is rich, why is he still robbing other people's things?

Zhao Chuanxin directly interrupted him: "That's right, my net worth is far worse than that of Lord Chen." Sometimes Zhao really pities you rich and noble families, because your troubles are varied. And in a poor family like me, there are very few troubles, and even only one - no money! ”

Chen Kuilong: "......"

Xu Xishen: "......"

When they met Zhao Chuanxin, a scoundrel, they really didn't have any bloody tricks.

Next time you go out, be sure to read the yellow calendar first.

Chen Kuilong gritted his teeth, what was lost here will be taken back by the Japanese sooner or later.

When you take something, you should always do something, right?

Even so, he was not polite, and said bluntly: "Zhao Tangong, this official heard that the "Juan Wang Youth Daily" advocates a boycott of Japanese goods every day? ”

Zhao Chuanxin casually took out a piece of cloth on the cabinet in the reception room, which read: Save your dignity and don't buy Japanese goods.

Another piece of cloth reads: I'd rather go to the sea than buy Japanese goods.

There is also a piece of cloth that reads: Self-produced and self-sold, so that the Japanese have no way out.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to these banners and asked, "Is this what Lord Chen said?" ”

Chen Kuilong: "......"

Scald......

Xu Xishen has been looking at Zhao Chuanxin curiously and quietly.

She prides herself on being a little beautiful, but Zhao Chuanxin has never looked at her from beginning to end.

This person speaks playfully and scolds, does not come out according to the routine, and I don't know if he is deep in the city or born a scoundrel.

Chen Kuilong said: "Zhao Tangong, this official is the governor, and he is also the prefect of one party, so I said it bluntly. The imperial court has repeatedly urged the local government to ban the boycott of Japanese goods, but now only the merchants in Hankou have abandoned Japanese goods, which makes it difficult for me to do it. ”

He wanted to say, you are more than one level lower than me, and now that Lao Tzu has come to the door in person, you had better get acquainted.

Xu Xishen, who was next to him, interjected and said: "Governor Zhao doesn't know that Japanese businessmen have repeatedly donated disaster relief materials to coastal counties this year, even if they are at fault first, they have now offset the old accounts. ”

Zhao Chuanxin didn't say anything, Liu Huaqiang blew his beard and glared: "My lord, the Japanese are clever words, they want to use small favors and small favors to paralyze me." In my opinion, even the people who have received favors will definitely not buy Japanese goods. ”

In fact, he had no affection for the great powers, not just the Japanese.

"Presumptuous!" Chen Kuilong scolded. "You know what? Relations with Japanese businessmen have eased in various localities, especially in Guangdong, where the transaction volume of coal and railway materials purchased from Japan can reach millions of taels of silver. This year, the Japanese businessmen have donated more than 20,000 yen to the disaster area! ”

Liu Huaqiang pursed his lips and did not speak, but his face was very dark.

Zhao Chuanxin listened, and his eyes lit up.

He coughed and turned around to reprimand Liu Huaqiang: "Lord Chen is right, what do you know?" I have stressed to you many times that it is necessary to promote cooperation between local industries and foreign businessmen, build innovative consortia with close cooperation at home and abroad, deeply implement Sino-foreign cooperation in transformation and upgrading, promote foreign goods to benefit the people of Hankou, and let our traditional industries go out and rejuvenate new vitality......

The audience was stunned.

Chen Kuilong and Xu Xi looked at Zhao Chuanxin in astonishment.

Doesn't it mean that Zhao Chuanxin is the kind of stubborn donkey who doesn't go away and goes backwards, and twists his head with the whole world?

There is a serious discrepancy between reality and rumors.

Before coming, Xu Xishen was very curious about the legendary god of war.

But when I saw it today, I was disappointed.

It turns out that he is also an old oilman of officialdom.

It's like a splash, but it's also very slippery.

Chen Kuilong sat up straight, and his official authority was even stronger.

He felt that it was the difference in status between the two sides that played a role.

No wonder Zhao Chuanxin has a good relationship with Zhang Renjun and Xu Shichang.

Both of them are governors, it seems that Zhao Chuanxin is also a dishman, as long as he is a feudal official, he will speak well.

There are many such people throughout the ages, who fight and kill people on the battlefield without blinking, but when they arrive in the officialdom, they behave like quails, just like Di Qing.

Chen Kuilong knew this in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, let your students stop the boycott movement first, and by the way, stop the "Juan Wang Youth Daily" as well." ”

Zhao Chuanxin regularly tapped his knees with his fingers: "Well, I think Master Chen still called those Japanese businessmen here, and everyone talked about it on the spot." ”

Chen Kuilong nodded: "This is easy to do, what is that Liu...... Go outside and call my attendants in. ”

Liu Huaqiang was indignant at first, but his emotions disappeared without a trace in just two seconds.

He knew that when the principal spoke like this, someone was about to be trapped.

Therefore he did not resist, and went out to call someone.

Chen Kuilong asked his entourage to hurry up and call the Japanese businessmen, and the matter would be resolved today.

Then he whispered another command to his attendant.

The entourage was clear, and he turned around and left.

Chen Kuilong thought that his voice was small, but he didn't want to be heard by the deaf and clear-sighted Zhao Chuanxin - the last sentence added by this product turned out to be a hint that the Japanese bribed him.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Lord Chen, has Guangdong not stopped trading coal and railway materials with the Japanese?" ”

"Well, according to the officer's inquiry, it is like this."

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "What about our Hankou?" ”

"Hankow also bought 100,000 yen of copper, flour and other goods."

Zhao Chuanxin said that it was a little interesting, and hurriedly knocked on the side to get closer to the answer he wanted: "Mitsui & Co. seems to be very close to Yokohama Zhengjin Bank, and what kind of consortium has been formed?" ”

"To say that Mitsui & Co. suffered losses, it was far inferior to Yokohama Shojin Bank. We, the people of the Qing Dynasty, almost no one went to deposit, all relied on a few commercial banks to support, and the banks then borrowed from Guangdong merchants, otherwise they would hardly be able to operate. ”

Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to understand anything: "In this way, there are only deposits, no one takes loans and withdraws, isn't the bank just a pixiu that doesn't pull, then it's developed?" ”

"Otherwise, charcoal worker, it's not the official who said you, you don't know anything about industry and education except for fighting, and you will only lose money if you are angry......

Since Zhao Chuanxin is so good, Chen Kuilong began to teach Zhao Chuanxin to do things in an educational tone, as if he was a superior.

Xu Xishen next to him also echoed and said, "Exactly, look at this volume of Wang Academy, what do you want to toss into?" Readers are not like readers, they are dirtier than the mud legs of the bags carried on the dock......"

In the words of the two of you, Zhao Chuanxin was buried into a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, and he was almost ruined.

And Zhao Chuanxin was full of humility, and only kept nodding yes.

At this time, a student knocked on the door, and he pushed the door in without waiting for a response.

Xu Xishen also said: "Look, I don't know etiquette, this is also a scholar?" ”

The student ignored her, but happily said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Principal, the four-cylinder integrated engine we built has been completed, and it is about to be tested, so I have come to report the good news of the principal......"

Liu Huaqiang's face was happy.

Zhao Chuanxin also got up.

Don't look at him bragging, let people build a 150 horsepower engine.

In fact, being able to replicate the 20-horsepower of the Ford Model T is now a first step.

Several people walked out very excitedly, leaving Chen Kuilong and Xu Xishen behind.

Xu Xi frowned and asked, "What four cylinders in one?" What engine? I don't study well, and I actually say something inexplicable. ”

Chen Kuilong didn't understand, he thought for a while: "Let's go, let's go and take a look." ”

Garage.

A group of people gathered around a table that had been stained with oil and could not see the primary color, on the table was a simple and rough engine in Zhao Chuanxin's opinion, and there were even raw edges hanging on the iron, which could cut a hole with their hands, but the rest of the students had green eyes glowing.

"Principal, it's called the side valve, and there are three main bearings here. Principal, you see, here is the cooler, and the copper wire below is the choke valve of the controllable engine......"

Someone introduced the structure of this engine to Zhao Chuanxin, and said that the head is the Tao, and the foundation is solid.

Liu Huaqiang suggested: "Principal, it's better for you to start it for the first time." ”

There was a small fuel tank on the table, a dry cell battery, and complex wiring and tubing connected to each other.

Zhao Chuanxin saw it and felt that he had no way to start.

Instead, it was Xingyue on the glasses that gave the answer.

Zhao Chuanxin lifted the crank and just inserted it, another student hurriedly said: "Principal, before you use the starting handle to start the ignition, you can't twist the ignition door, otherwise you will damage the ignition device and will be injured by the starting handle." ”

Zhao Chuanxin: "......"

What does this student mean?

That is to say, when Zhao Chuanxin shakes the handle, he can't twist the key, otherwise the handle may be knocked away and the electromagnetic ignition system will be broken.

You have to shake it a few times before you can twist it so that it can start smoothly.

Zhao Chuanxin's old face darkened when he listened.

Hehe, Rolls-Royce still makes sense as a luxury car, at least when he drove it before, it could be started with a twist of the key.

Outside, Chen Kuilong and Xu Xi looked inexplicable.

Chen Kuilong grabbed a student and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

"Lord Hui, this is the engine built by our Juanwang Technical College."

Xu Xishen asked: "What is an engine?" ”

The "......" student scratched his head: "It is the engine of the car, the key to the car's ability, just like a steam wheel can travel without sails, relying on the engine." ”

I also said before that the students of Juan Wang Technical College were not doing their jobs, but at this time, Chen Kuilong and Xu Xi looked at each other, and they both felt that their faces were hot.

"You don't study on weekdays, but you only tinker with this?" Xu Xishen felt unconvinced.

"Read, why don't you read?" The student puffed up his chest: "The purpose of the school is to apply what you have learned. We read and work on it at the same time, otherwise the paper will be shallow, and those pictures and drawings will be maddening. But the real thing is in front of you, and it is a different matter, which is very easy to understand. ”

"That's why you seem to be rolling in muddy water?"

The student glanced down at his shiny jacket, scratched his head and said with a smile, "That's all it takes when dealing with steel......

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin had already begun to shake.

He had so much strength that he shook the grip into the air, almost sparkling.

Fire.

The spark was distributed to the cremation plug by a low-voltage "timer" mounted at the end of the camshaft in front of the engine, which was the predecessor of the distributor.

The "timer" directs the current to install 4 coils in a box next to the table, and the timing adjustment of the ignition is achieved by manually turning the timer with the help of a lever device on the steering column, so Zhao Chuanxin has to work together to ignite the ignition.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

A tractor-like voice sounded.

There was a black exhaust gas that began to be generated, which was very pungent.

At this time, the purity of gasoline was very low, and Zhao Chuanxin's sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and his brain was suddenly choked.

He hurriedly stepped back.

But the surrounding students applauded: "The principal is mighty!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin arched his hand around: "I can laugh and laugh, but the carving insect skills are not enough." ”

“……”

Seeing the engine bearing turning, even a person like Chen Kuilong probably could understand, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Install a wheel there, can you run?" ”

The student looked at him like a fool and shook his head: "I also want to build a transmission bearing, a box that can change the speed of the pedal......"

Chen Kuilong and Xu Xishen couldn't understand this.

There are three gears in total, two forward and one reverse.

There is no gear lever because the gears are all underfoot.

The left pedal is in first gear, the right pedal is in second gear, and the middle pedal is in reverse gear......

People with poor psychological quality had better not open it, otherwise it would be ......

Xu Xi couldn't stand such a big movement and the black smoke in the garage, so he pulled Chen Kuilong out of the door.

She was silent for a moment and said, "They...... What kind of book are you reading? ”

"This ...... I don't understand it, but this kind of machinery is extremely cumbersome, and I'm afraid that idlers can't make it. ”

Damn, Xu Xi really wants to scold: Strange tricks.

But he couldn't say that in any way.

Many years ago, foreigners have used these tricks to show off their power and colonize one country after another.

The two of them blushed.

Just now I taught people that they don't understand education, but I was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Zhao Chuanxin walked out of the garage, wiped the black ash on his face with a wet towel, and asked the two: "By the way, two, where did we talk just now?" Oh, by the way, you said that Zhao didn't know anything about industry and education, and Zhao was ashamed and felt that what the two said was right. Who, look at the dirty on your body, what kind of body you have become, and what about the scholar, and disgrace the face of the scholar. ”

Syllable......

Chen Kuilong and Xu Xishen felt a little slapped in the face.

The student wiped his hand on his face and grinned, "Okay, let's go wash it." Headmaster, do you want to celebrate tonight? ”

"Okay, call all the participants tonight, Zhao personally cooks for you, and drinks eighteen bowls!"

The students happily left to inform everyone.

Don't look at it as just an imitation, and the quality may not be passable, but Zhao Chuanxin is still very happy.

There is always a starting point for doing things.

Zhao Chuanxin wiped himself clean, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

After a commotion, Liu Huaqiang came in with excitement on his face: "Principal, the Japanese Consul General in Han, Ueno Shoichi, is here with Jotaro Yamamoto, the director of Mitsui Properties. ”

Chen Kuilong and Xu Xishen were a little silent.

Zhao Chuanxin said enthusiastically: "Quick, invite two international friends in." ”
