The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

When the news that British doctor Sickert Carr was a serial killer reached Britain, the British authorities immediately sent people to investigate him in detail.

The London police found conclusive evidence in his home, linking Sickert Carr to at least three murders.

Unfortunately, Sickert Carr did not seem to be Jack the Ripper, and even if he was, there was no evidence.

This incident not only became a topic of conversation among Londoners, but also caused a sensation around the world.

Everyone is afraid of perverted serial killers.

But no one has ever thought about what it would be like when a killer meets a killer, and a pervert meets a butcher.

As a result, Zhao Chuanxin easily eliminated a scourge for Britain.

Everyone regretted that if Jack the Ripper could deal with Zhao Chuanxin, it might be possible to create a different spark.

This incident became the inspiration for many writers.

…

Zhao Chuanxin went back to Lubin Mansion to see his daughter.

His eldest daughter was Zhao Lingjun, his second son was Zhao Zhengze, and his third daughter was Zhao Nianzhen.

Gulizar was also due to give birth, and Zhao Chuanxin had already named the unborn fourth daughter - Zhao Songzhen.

Zhao Nianzhen in the cradle frowned and pursed her lips, and she still looked angry in her sleep.

Zhao Chuanxin held the cradle girl and sighed: "It's incredible, it's really incredible."

Rebecca Levi asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Chuanxin said bluntly: "One year old can tell the old, Zhao Nianzhen is probably a willful temper."

"Nonsense." Rebecca Levi took her daughter away and said unhappily: "My daughter must be a lady. This is also your daughter, why don't you hope that your daughter is good?"

"Why is it bad to be willful?" Zhao Chuanxin retorted.

Rebecca Levi was speechless.

Zhao Chuanxin had the idea of ​​gathering several women together.

In this era, three palaces and six courtyards are really nothing.

However, the idea was suppressed as soon as it arose.

Life like that would be very tiring, very strange, and in dire straits.

It's good like this now.

Since Wu Lien-teh held a press conference, Zhao Chuanxin's faith power has been rising rapidly, making him rich for a while.

After leaving Fengtian, Zhao Chuanxin was isolated in the underground bunker for a whole week, and just returned to Lubin Prefecture.

After just one day, he received a telegram from Hankou, and the follow-up news about Wu Yigou's sudden death arrived.

Governor-General of Huguang Rui Cheng asked the British Consulate for compensation, but failed in the end.

Not only did he pay the British Consulate 20,000 yuan, he also paid for Britain out of his own pocket and asked the Hanguandao to pay compensation to the families of the dead killed by the British army.

Originally, the British Consulate asked them to pay 60,000 yuan, but later Qi Yaoshan of the Jianghanguandao and Zhang Biao, the commander of the army, negotiated with the British Consulate and finally reduced the compensation to 20,000 yuan.

The Dajiang Baihua Newspaper said: The foreigners abused our people, the authorities were corrupt and incompetent, and they actually paid compensation to the British consulate, which was ridiculous...

Liu Huaqiang meant that the matter should be left alone.

Wu Yigou was buried in peace, and the family of the deceased was compensated.

Although the process was humiliating, many people have accepted the result.

Zhao Chuanxin did not reply to Liu Huaqiang, but sent a telegram to the Xuantian Sect in Hong Kong Island, notifying Li Zhitao to take the elite of the arbitration team to Hankou.

…

Tang Shaoyi, who was once the Minister of Posts and Communications, went to the outside of the Great Wall for inspection after the plague ended.

In 2007, when Tang Shaoyi was the governor of Fengtian and was responsible for foreign negotiations outside the Great Wall, he proposed to bring in American capital to build railways.

Because Japan obstructed it, the plan failed.

Later, Zhao Chuanxin contacted US Secretary of State Philando Knox, and at the same time overwhelmed Tsarist Russia and Japan, and successfully launched the railway construction plan.

It's just that Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town were high-profile in the early stage, but kept quiet and never publicized in the later stage, which led to the outside world not knowing the progress of the railway construction.

After the plague broke out, there was even less news about the railway.

Tang Shaoyi was an American thought, and he was eager to go outside the Great Wall to see it for himself.

When he arrived in Longjiang Prefecture, he found that the ribbon was being cut outside the newly built Longjiang Prefecture Station.

He took people to ask: "What's going on?"

The onlookers said excitedly: "The section from Longjiang Prefecture to the north bank has been completed, and the ribbon is being cut. This year it will be built to Ai-Huan."

Tang Shaoyi was excited: "The newspaper didn't report it?"

"Lubin Prefecture keeps a low profile and never publicizes it. It just sets off a string of firecrackers. Every time a section is built, it will come once."

Tang Shaoyi asked: "What about the south?"

The man shook his head: "South? I don't know. Do we have to build it to the south? It's incredible!"

Tang Shaoyi simply went to Hulun City to visit Zhang Shouzeng, the general manager of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Lubin Prefecture.

"Heyan, are you only building the railway from Longjiang Prefecture to Ai-hui?"

Zhang Shouzeng smiled but said nothing.

Tang Shaoyi asked, "Heyan is a man of outstanding talent and knowledge, skilled in negotiation, and the best among his peers. You should understand that such things can be kept secret for a while, but not forever. Besides, I will never reveal a single bit in today's conversation."

Zhang Shouzeng did not deliberately hide it from him, but he felt that Tang Shaoyi was an official of the Qing court. Although he was idle at home now, he might come back one day.

Both parties belonged to the same country in name, but they were not in the same camp in essence.

He admired Tang Shaoyi's talent and ability, but he also despised Tang Shaoyi's capitalist thinking that whoever feeds you is your mother.

Zhang Shouzeng heard this and just said meaningfully, "There are several key points, Xinmin, KLQQ, Lugang Town, Longjiang Prefecture, Ai-hui..."

Without saying a word more.

Tang Shaoyi immediately felt a sense of kingly dominance.

He was a smart man and understood immediately.

Originally, the United States wanted to build a new railway from Fengtian to Faku, and then slowly extend northward to Longjiangfu and then to Aihui.

Zhao Chuanxin continued the original American plan and extended several branch lines, from Xinmin to KLQQ, and Faku to Lugang Town.

Tang Shaoyi saw Zhao Chuanxin's potential ambition.

For example, the Fengtian section starts from Xinmin and can be connected to Fengtian at any time.

As the intermediate point, Longjiang Prefecture does not need to be built to Lubin Prefecture because it overlaps with the Daxing-Anling section of the Dongqing Railway.

In the future, as long as this section of the railway is recaptured, the Hulunbuir Grassland will be connected.

The same goes for the railway east to Lugang Town. The branch line of the South-Manchuria Railway is not repaired and needs to be transferred now. But in the future, as long as the South-Manchuria Railway is captured, the entire line can be connected.

No wonder they kept a low profile and completed all branch lines. They only needed to rob Japan and Russia to directly open up the Rendu line.

He bid farewell to Zhang Shouzeng and entered the Hulun Grassland to the west.

He was shocked to find that all wings of the grassland were now connected by trams.

In addition to trams, there are also roads.

Road construction workers cut weeds on the roadside and consolidate both sides of the roadbed.

The road was smooth, even smooth, and it was so dark that one could not see the end.

There are poles on the roadside with telegraph and telephone lines erected on them.

There was a Universiade truck spewing exhaust gas, carrying ten sheep on the road. When it came near the road construction workers, it blew its horn and asked them to give way.

Factories line the railway, road and tram tracks.

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly got off the train with his entourage.

When he got on the tram, it was one copper dollar from Solon to Chenbalhu, and another copper dollar for the previous stop, and so on.

The windows of the tram are open, and you can smell the smell of cows, horses and camel dung outside.

The bus was full of people, and those who didn't have a seat had to stand and squeeze.

The tents on both sides are like mushrooms after the autumn rain, growing wildly along the Hailar River.

Generally speaking, the population on the grassland cannot be dense except in towns, and livestock requires a certain amount of pasture space.

But the people here obviously don't rely entirely on herding for a living.

Tang Shaoyi asked the passengers in the car: "What do they do for a living if they don't herd cattle?"

Passengers were happy: "Fur processing, working in coal fields, mines, forest farms and iron factories, crossing the border to buy and sell furs, slaughter livestock, sell meat... What is the name of the official and commodity bureau? By the way, regulation. The government and commodity bureau does not allow people to live freely by water and grass. The pastures are planned and cannot be used for fishing. You can make money by grazing, and you can also make money by slaughtering livestock. In Lubin Mansion, you will never starve to death. "

Tang Shaoyi nodded: "Last year, there were serious floods outside the customs. Wasn't the Lubinfu area affected?"

"How can it not be damaged at all when the river is overflowing?"

"Did anyone starve to death?"

"No."

"..."

Tang Shaoyi pointed to the road parallel to the tram track: "Why is that road black? Why is it so flat and without ruts?"

The passenger was not surprised: "That's called an asphalt road. I spent a lot of money building it. It's thick and strong. You'll understand when you step on it."

There are no street lights in uninhabited places, but there must be street lights wherever there are people.

Tang Shaoyi also saw thousands of hectares of fertile land, endless as far as the eye could see.

They are all neatly cut ripe fields.

He gasped when he saw it.

I blanch... This is much better than under the management of the Qing court.

When we arrived at Lubinfu, in addition to the wonderful sight of the trams extending in all directions, there was also the terrifyingly wide main road.

Tang Shaoyi saw cars filling the streets.

One of the cars is particularly eye-catching. The black body is eye-catching, with the "Roll King" logo on the front and the word "Shi Lan" written on the rear. The wheels have no spokes but are formed in one piece. The tires are thick and the chassis is high.

Through the car window, Tang Shaoyi could see a tall, plump foreign woman sitting inside, driving attentively. She walked to the red and green neon sign, and when the red light came on, the car was waiting for the neon light to turn green. Bicycles are no exception.

Tang Shaoyi has been to the United States. Apart from the fact that there are no skyscrapers, Lubin Mansion is almost the same as a modern city in the United States. It even exceeds it in terms of the number of cars.

"Zhao Chuanxin is truly a genius!"

Under the governance of Zhao Chuanxin, Lubin Mansion was no worse than Hankou, known as the Chicago of the East, prosperous Shanghai and Tianjin Wei.

Tang Shaoyi sighed to herself.

…

Zhao Chuanxin returned to Hankou.

He drafted a letter in Bagong's office and asked Liu Huaqiang to send it to the British Concession Consulate.

Liu Huaqiang hesitated: "Principal, when things develop to a later stage, I, I..."

"Hello, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Liu Huaqiang said: "After my many investigations, I can honestly say that Wu Yigou died suddenly due to illness. Immediately, a foreign police detective arrived at the scene first, and then an Indian patrol was called. It was not the driver who said he was kicked to death by the patrol."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "Then the British shot and killed the people in Hankou. Is this true?"

"true."

"Send the letter over."

The British Consul General in Han Farrell was in a good mood.

Although some time ago, the rickshaw pullers went on strike and besieged the patrol house, causing some trouble.

It didn't matter, the British Concession finally let out a bad breath as usual.

Falles told Stanley Wyatt Smith, a diplomat at the British Consulate in Han: "Whether the Chinese are reasonable or not, they deserve their concessions."

Stanley Wyatt Smith pursed his lips and said with concern: "But don't forget that there is another person - Zhao Chuanxin. Zhao Chuanxin never gives in."

"Zhao Chuanxin?" Fareis raised his voice: "Zhao Chuanxin is here, so he has to apologize. This matter was originally caused by the rickshaw driver's unreasonable trouble."

"But we killed innocent people."

"There are no innocent people, so who allowed them to riot and besiege the patrol room?" Fareis said proudly: "Zhao Chuanxin has been silent, which shows that he knows that he is in the wrong. Besides, Tsarist Russia and Japan are enough to make him miserable."

Just as he was talking, a staff member came to report: "Liu Huaqiang, President of the Student Union of Juanwang Technical College, sent a letter."

"Bring it here."

Falles tore open the envelope, took out the letter and read it.

As he read, his face gradually turned pale.

Stanley Wyatt Smith asked curiously: "Consul, what happened?"

Fareis handed him the letter: "Read it yourself."

Stanley Wyatt Smith looks at the signature first.

The signature is Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's letter put forward three points in a concise and comprehensive manner: First, immediately release the imprisoned rickshaw pullers. Second, return the 20,000 yuan compensation from Jianghan Pass Road. Third, 21 civilians were killed or injured. The British Consulate paid a settlement fee of two million yuan within two days. If you don't pay, you will be responsible for the consequences.

Stanley Wyatt Smith was in a cold sweat.

He screamed in his heart: I'll just say it, I'll just say it, he won't give up, you have to listen, now it's better...

Fareis's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Zhao Chuanxin went too far. We only asked them to compensate 60,000 yuan, but he actually asked us to pay 2 million yuan in compensation?"

Stanley Wyatt Smith hesitated: "Our consulate cannot afford two million dollars."

"Even if I can take it out, I won't give it to you." Fareis said forcefully: "It's not our fault, it's their fault."

"But……"

"You go and get 20,000 yuan..." Fareis thought for a while: "No, you take 30,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan will be returned to Zhao Chuanxin, and 10,000 yuan will be used as compensation."

After all, he still didn't dare to confront Zhao Chuanxin head-on.

Stanley Wyatt Smith did not move: "Then who will pay the money?"

"You go and deliver it."

"..." Stanley Wyatt Smith was unwilling to give up: "But I haven't lived enough yet, can you send someone else?"

…

Two days after Zhao passed the salary to the British to lease the border, he returned to the sky and flew to meet Nikola Tesla.

He handed the newly purchased Starry Sky Root Companion to Nikola Tesla: "The phone you made is too big. Can you shrink it to the size of a brick? I have already chosen a name, just call it - Big Brother big."

Nikola Tesla looked steadily at Zhao Chuanxin: "Absolutely impossible."

Zhao Chuanxin hates bulky telephones. Although they are wireless, they can communicate in real time around the world without communication satellites and signal towers.

Nikola Tesla said: "The telephone made by Star Root Companion has too many tubes and wires, as well as batteries, and it is impossible to shrink it."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "Have you ever thought that circuits can be compressed and integrated?"

"?"

Nikola Tesla had questions all over his head.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a pen and paper, drew a board, and drew the circuit on the board: "If I use an insulating board and use conductors to draw the circuit, wouldn't those complicated and dense circuit problems be solved? I can stack them layer by layer. Insulated panels, if designed properly, are totally feasible.”

Nikola Tesla stood blankly on the spot. After thinking for half a minute, he looked at Zhao Chuanxin in shock: "How did you think of it? But how can we have such an insulating board?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I can make glass, heat the glass, draw the glass solution, weave the silk into cloth, and apply resin on the cloth to form an insulating board. After drawing the circuit, layer by layer of fiberglass cloth."

"Even if what you say is feasible." Nikola Tesla stared at the drawing: "Where should the electron tube be placed? How will the circuits between so many layers of insulating boards be connected?"

Zhao Chuanxin drew the emitter and base, and then drew the collector and base. The signal is input from the former and output from the latter: "This amplifies a strong signal. We use this amplification effect to make a transistor. Make it smaller than a matchstick and plug it into these boards. As for the connection between the insulating boards, you only need to drill holes and plate them with copper. The conductive holes can connect the current to all layers, and the non-conductive holes are used to fix the screws. The holes only penetrate to a certain layer..."

Nikola Tesla was shocked by Zhao Chuanxian's imagination.

How did you come up with this idea?

It seems to be whimsical, but it also seems completely feasible.

When Zhao Chuanxin was a child, he liked to dismantle his house. He dismantled old TVs, disc players, etc., and dismantled them to pieces. Once they were dismantled, they could not be put back together, so he was beaten badly.

I have a relative at home who specializes in electrical appliance repair.

Zhao Chuanxin has been a nuisance since he was a child. He likes to ask questions, and people who ask questions get very angry.

Later, I gradually figured out some basics about circuits, and actually built a wired controller to transform an electric toy car, which can control the toy car to move forward and backward.

If his parents hadn't forced him to give up this hobby and concentrate on his studies, maybe he could have become an electrical engineer instead of selling goods in light industry.

Nikola Tesla looked crazy: "I need Benjamin back, come back immediately. Make the insulating fiberglass boards quickly."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "The plague has just passed and the train has not passed, but Benjamin is already on the way. The board can be handed over to you before dinner."

The sand was readily available. Zhao Chuanxin first used a mud trowel glove to gather the sand into a tower to make glass, and then used the Old God Crucible to smelt the glass and draw it.

The difficult part was weaving, which was done by the black puppet craftsmen and puppet servants. Zhao Chuanxin coated it with white resin from the Code of the Old Gods.

As expected, before dinner, Zhao Chuanxin handed the thin insulating board to Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla did the experiment and found that it was indeed insulated. He was overjoyed: "This will definitely make a sensation in the world, Zhao, if we succeed, you will go down in history!"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "Nikola, I don't want to go down in history now, I just want a mobile phone now."

It's like some people in later generations don't want to achieve anything, but they have to buy an Apple computer even if they have to spend money.

He didn't spend money to buy the Star Root companion creature, but he spent 500,000 big eyeball gold coins, and this money must not be wasted.
