The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Not daring to delay any longer, Li Shutong joined in the battle.

If he could usually eat half a catty of meat, he would eat at least one catty this time. I usually eat two bowls of rice, but after eating three bowls now, I feel like I can still have more.

In the end, both of us were full of food.

After finishing the last glass of sake, Zhao Chuanxin took out a cigarette and lit it.

The waiter took a small step forward and reminded: "Sir, we do not allow smoking here."

"roll!"

Now Li Shutong is like a firefighter. He immediately explained to the waiter in a low voice in Japanese: "Let him suck it, and I will give you a tip later."

Even though he didn't understand, Zhao Chuanxin still guessed it and shook his head helplessly.

It is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature.

Suddenly a bag was pulled out from behind. Passed it to Li Shutong: "From today on, you will pay for your food, clothing, housing and transportation. When I leave, the rest will be used as your living expenses."

Li Shutong, who was once the owner of Zhong Ming Ding Shi, saw his family business gradually decline because the Qing government changed the salt industry to official salt.

Although we are not too poor now, life will become difficult soon.

No need to count in details, he knew that this bag of money would not be short.

Li Shutong, who was unwilling to eat the food he came for, flatly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

"You still don't know me very well. Who dares not accept the money Zhao gave me?

You must know that these three words Zhao Chuanxin are by no means a wasted reputation! "

"..."

Damn, I’ve heard of using force to steal money, but never heard of using force to give money away.

Seeing his coy expression, as if he had eaten a fly, Zhao Chuanxin dusted off his soot and said, "You feel that you are not getting rewarded for your merits, right? When you return to China, remember to go to Lugang Town.

I heard that you are planning to further study music recently. I would like to learn piano. You study hard and teach me to play piano when the time comes. This is considered as tuition fee. "

After hesitating, Li Shutong asked: "Mr. Zhao has always heard about it. Who did you hear these things about me?"

This time it was Zhao Chuanxin's turn to hesitate.

He really wanted to hear what history had to say.

After a moment, he smiled: "Lu Xun said it."

…

Eat delicious food and stay in top-notch apartments.

Li Shutong felt that Zhao Chuanxin was more dissatisfied than his previous life.

"The top-level suite is very big. We can just stay in one without extravagance."

"Don't be ridiculous, I never sleep in the same room with a man."

"..."

That night, I slept quite soundly.

The next morning, after Zhao Chuanxin finished washing, he knocked on Li Shutong's door.

The door creaked open and Zhao Chuanxin said, "I thought you ran away."

Li Shutong shook the money bag in his hand: "Without this bag of money, I might have run away."

"Brother, you are a bit cowardly, thinking of escaping at every turn.

Being afraid of difficulties is not a good habit.

Remember in the future, don’t give up when you encounter difficulties, set a goal to earn him 100 million! "

Li Shutong rolled his eyes: A toad yawned so loudly!

The two had breakfast, and Zhao Chuanxin went to a watch shop, but Li Shutong found that he didn't buy anything.

Then find the rickshaw driver and tell Li Shutong the location, and he will translate it.

When they were approaching their destination, Zhao Chuanxin said to Li Shutong: "It's not easy for you to get involved in this matter. So you just wait here and I'll come back to you when I'm done."

Thinking of Zhao Chuanxin's acting style, Li Shutong was worried: "It's best to act in a measured way, after all, you are in a foreign country."

"Are you afraid that you said the opposite?"

Ignoring him anymore, Zhao Chuanxin got out of the car.

…

Chao Haiguang is indeed busy, especially since Zena Keith, who has not been interested in his business in the past, is here to cause trouble today.

More or less, he knew it was because the man was coming today.

He hypnotized himself: That's because they are all engaged in art. Chao Haiguang, please don't think nonsense.

It is said that when people hypnotize themselves, they should use affirmative expressions.

For example, don’t think blindly, you can express it as “be open-minded”.

Otherwise, the subconscious mind will only accept the affirmative part.

For example, not thinking blindly turned into thinking blindly.

In other words, Chao Haiguang has been hinting to himself at this time: just want to think blindly...

Sure enough, soon there was a picture in my mind.

In the picture, Zhao Chuanxin arrived, and Zena Keith flew up with a happy smile on her face.

He glanced guiltily at Zena Keith who was doing nothing next to him, then lowered his head and pretended to be working.

If you want Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.

There was a knock on the door, and Chao Haiguang's heart tightened.

Suddenly, he felt that this was quite exciting.

It brings a lot of adjustments to life.

"Come in."

A clerk opened the door and leaned in half-way: "Zhao Sang is here to see you."

Then came Zhao Chuanxin's bright smiling face: "Mr. Chao Haiguang, I'm here."

He was holding two paper bags in his hands. The material of the paper bags was just ordinary kraft paper, but the craftsmanship was exquisite, giving it a simple beauty.

"Zhao Sang, please come in quickly!"

As he spoke, Chao Haiguang glanced at Zena Keith from the corner of his eye.

Zena Keith intentionally or unintentionally positioned herself so that Asahi Hikaru could not see her expression.

Zhao Chuanxin pretended not to see the enthusiasm and desire in Zena Keith's eyes.

He handed over the paper bag with a smile: "It's my first time coming to visit, so I brought a few gifts. It's not respectful."

Chao Haiguang took it and handed it back to Zena Keith, wanting to see her expression.

And this green tea has superb acting skills. Before he turned around, he calmed down his expression and smiled politely.

Zhao Chuanxin secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Thumbs up for your acting skills!

There was a time lag between the two of them and Chao Haiguang's head turn.

According to Japanese customs, you probably won’t open gifts from friends in person.

But Zena Keith’s Western ideas are just the opposite.

She opened the bag directly and saw a packaging box inside. After opening it, there lay quietly the Tonneau series of watches launched by Cartier this year.

Skeleton dual time zone, men's and women's models are made with two independent mechanisms.

The watch is naturally a good watch.

"Wow! So beautiful."

Zena Keith exclaimed.

Looking at Chao Haiguang, he knew that this watch was expensive: "Oh, Zhao Sang is so polite."

Zhao Chuanxin can accurately identify Chao Haiguang's thinking every time.

If you are jealous, then I will give you money. If you think too much, I will give you an expensive gift.

Then,

Chao Haiguang fell into a very abnormal and chaotic mood and couldn't extricate himself.

"Zena, you sit in my office while I accompany Zhao Sang to visit the warehouse."

"No, I'll go too. I haven't visited your company seriously yet."

Chao Haiguang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Why did you go so early? You were so attentive when Zhao Sang came?

He said forcefully: "Don't cause trouble!"

This time, Zhao Chuanxin gave Chao Haiguang a thumbs up.

What a mess, are you able to get involved in this matter?

Zena Keith cast a pleading look at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin turned a blind eye.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, he no longer needed to deal with her.

Warehouses for storing grain are different from ordinary port warehouses, and there are many types of grain warehouses.

Coastal granaries like Kobe are vertical silos.

Chao Haiguang said: "Each small unit here stores 80 stone meters. From unloading at the port, storage, random inspection, and delivery, at least four levels have to be passed. You see, we went up the steps and looked down. Storage There doesn’t seem to be much volume on the surface, but in fact each unit is 1-2 meters deep…”

He really thought that Zhao Chuanxin was here to learn from his experience and explained everything to Zhao Chuanxin in detail.

This thing can't be said to be a trade secret, but the details are genuine, and they have done an impressive job, which really has merit.

Although Zhao Chuanxin is not really engaged in transportation, he still watches and listens carefully.

Until we got out of this dark silo and saw the light of day again.

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "There are so many vertical silos. If you turn them over every day to prevent mold, you will have to use a lot of workers, right?"

"No, no, Zhao Sang must be engaged in general cargo transportation. Managing food is a very profound knowledge and must be experienced.

You see, there, there, and there, there is old rice. If it is shipped out of the warehouse, we will give priority to this rice. And there and there, there is new imported rice, which is expected to be stored for about two years.

This kind of management can not only reduce the number of workers, but also make the security personnel less nervous..."

"Souga!"

Zhao Chuanxin left with satisfaction.

"When I get the chance, I'll treat you two to dinner."

"I should be the one doing my duty as landlord."

"It's easy to talk about."

Ignoring Zena Keith's crazy hints, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and left.

I am an immortal among thousands of flowers, so how can I give you a chance to take advantage of me?

Are you kidding?

After finding Li Shutong, Zhao Chuanxin got on the rickshaw he had been waiting for.

"Walk!"

Li Shutong asked: "How are things going?"

He was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would stab Lou Zi again.

"Very bad."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

Li Shutong naturally knew that Zhao Chuanxin would not say what he was doing here.

But he still had a question: "We went to a watch store before and you didn't buy anything. Is there any profound meaning in this?"

"I didn't buy them, but I stole a few watches. Here, I'll give you one."

Zhao Chuanxin threw a box casually.

"steal?"

Li Shutong was shocked when he took the box and opened it.

Don't say he has never done such a thing as stealing, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

This person actually stole something.

You still tell the key point openly?

"Don't worry about the details.

Brother, please remember, if you can steal something from Japan, steal it; if you can’t, steal it. I guarantee it. "

Here it comes again!

"But I didn't see your actions at that time? When did you steal it?"

"If even you find out, can I still steal it?

Do you know what people in the world say about me?

The handsomest among robbers, the best among gangsters. Yes, I am the legendary bandit commander--Zhao Chuanxin! "

"Haha, I think if I can hear one true word from you in this life, the solar energy will come out from the west!"

Li Shutong had his butt pulled with a knife - his eyes were opened.

When they arrived at the port, Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Wait here."

"Don't you need me to translate?"

"You'd better not show up, because what happens next may be beyond your imagination."

It sounds like a feeling of fear.

In fact, it didn't take long. Li Shutong waited for less than an hour before Zhao Chuanxin came out.

The expected earth-shaking hot scene did not appear.

Li Shutong asked in confusion: "Isn't it beyond imagination?"

"Haha, don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."

As a result, nothing happened during the day, and the two of them had a meal and went back to the hotel to rest.

After Zhao Chuanxin ate, drank, and slept, he went out in the dark without Li Shutong's knowledge.

Arriving outside the port granary wall, he activated the blue ghost armor.

He took two steps and leaped onto the wall.

Wearing black clothes, he disappeared in the dark night. He lurked on the wall and watched for a while. When there was no movement, he jumped down lightly.

According to Chao Haiguang, some new grains that have just been put into the warehouse do not need to be turned frequently.

With the way they manage their granaries, they will conduct random inspections after entering the warehouse. After the random inspections, no one will care about this part of the new rice for at least two to three months.

Zhao Chuanxin sneaked close to the new rice warehouse that Chao Haiguang pointed out during the day. There were no chains here, and he didn't find any patrolling guards.

In granaries, when theft occurs, it is basically the work of insiders.

Except for Zhao Chuanxin, no one could secretly send large quantities of grain out without alerting the gate guards.

This kind of borer rarely appears inside the granaries of private enterprises, because it is too difficult to bribe the guards and gate owners to steal grain. Even if a worker secretly puts two handfuls of rice in his pocket and takes it home, the loss is just a drop in the bucket.

Maybe that's why the guards were lax.

Enter the granary, linger in the small unit warehouse not facing the main entrance, and easily fill up the secret space.

This trip went so well!

He secretly estimated that based on the volume of the secret space, at least 160 tons of rice would be loaded in this trip.

Backtrack and jump out of the wall, the next stop is the port.

The granary was very close to the port. Zhao Chuanxin boarded the freighter he had made an appointment with during the day. The captain was a Chinese.

He said bluntly: "Set the boat!"

The captain was confused: "But Boss Zhao, you haven't loaded the cargo yet?"

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s sail!”

"Okay, it's up to you to pay."

Zhao Chuanxin walked around the cargo holds of the freighter, and those holds were filled to the brim with rice.

After locking the cabin, Zhao Chuanxin took the key and whistled to the captain's cabin: "Take the key and open the cabin when you get to Hong Kong Island. After contacting the Lugang Town Charity Association, they naturally know how to do it!"

The captain asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to follow me back? Do you want to swim back to Kobe?"

Look at the port where the lights have become dim at night. It would be quite difficult to swim back.

Grinning, Zhao Chuanxin said: "That's exactly what I meant!"

With that said, Zhao Chuanxin jumped under the ship. With a pop, the captain hurried to the side of the ship and looked down. Where was that figure?

This made the captain scratch his heart and itched so much.

Weighing the keys in his hand, he stamped his feet and went to the cargo hold.

Not everyone has principles for being a human being.

At least not this captain.

He unlocked the door and held the lantern to shine inside.

The dim light of the wind lantern spread out in the cabin, and the captain took a breath!

The cargo hold was filled to the brim with rice.

Every grain of rice reflects the yellow light of the wind lantern. When there are many grains of rice and they are densely packed, the yellow light becomes a whole light, which is very dazzling.

A bizarre "Liao Zhai"-style story was brewing in the captain's stomach in an instant.

What kind of gods come down to earth to save people in need, what kind of fox spirits repay a favor by sending rice thousands of miles away, what kind of sea dragon king turns into a man and turns into a man, then jumps into the sea and transforms into a dragon again...

It was almost midnight when Zhao Chuanxin returned to the hotel.

Without a car at night, he was exhausted, so he just went back and soaked his pillow.

The next morning, while having breakfast, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly said to Li Shutong: "Okay, your mission has been successfully completed, I can do the rest myself.

Go back to school! "
