The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

For several days in a row, Zhao Chuanxin hung out with Takano Mariko when he was bored.

Picking up girls during the day and transporting rice at night.

Small short-distance cargo ships sailed from the port of Kobe to Hong Kong Island and Shanghai, with their cabins filled with grain.

He almost emptied out all the new rice from Kobe Suzuki Trading Company.

By this time, they had not noticed at all.

The more seamless the management, the greater the losses when bugs occur.

As the number of victims in China and Hong Kong increases day by day, food prices begin to rise, which has already affected Japan.

It's another day off, and Takano Mariko doesn't go to school. She and Zhao Chuanxin walk side by side in the street.

"Mauriko, what are they discussing?"

"They say that prices have risen sharply recently. The price of rice has risen. The United Kingdom, the world's largest rice exporter, has shipped rice from India to disaster-stricken China and sold it for high profits. Kobe Suzuki Trading Co. is hoarding grain, and rare goods are available. The reason for the rise in grain prices here in Kobe The culprit."

"anything else?"

"In recent years, Japan's unprecedentedly prosperous market and foreign trade profits have allowed capitalists to taste the sweetness of developing the silk industry, which has squeezed out the proportion of our rice planting. The recruitment of workers in the steel industry has caused many farmers to put down their hoes and go to work in factories. So the food supply is becoming more and more important. few."

Zhao Chuanxin's heart skipped a beat.

The secret passage is worse.

Will these changes expose rice theft in advance?

Takano Mariko noticed something was wrong with his face and asked, "Zhao Sang, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm worried about your national economy and lamenting how difficult the people's livelihood is."

Takano Mariko doesn't care about these national affairs.

She suddenly tentatively touched Zhao Chuanxin's palm with her little finger.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't react, he boldly added his ring finger.

Then the whole palm was stuffed into Zhao Chuanxin's big hand.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that the palm of his hand was soft and warm. He twitched the corner of his mouth and took advantage of the situation to hold it.

This damn charm has nowhere to go.

No matter where you go, you won't stop.

Takano Mariko raised her head and asked: "Zhao Sang, will you return to China?"

Without any psychological burden, Zhao Chuanxin said smoothly: "Go back."

Takano Mariko had a trace of loneliness on her face: "Then where is your family?"

"Haha, I will tell you before I return to China."

"Then when will you leave?"

"I can't tell, I have a hunch that it will happen recently."

The worries of middle age are as thick as wine, and the feelings of girls are always poetry.

Zhao Chuanxin was cruel and ruthless, which seriously hurt Takano Mariko's heart.

She asked stupidly: "Zhao Sang, when you return to China, will you think of me?"

"Oh, let me think about it?" Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin: "I'm very busy, so I shouldn't."

"snort!"

The little hand in the palm was immediately taken out.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the petite Takano Mariko with one arm and spun her around.

“I must miss you, today I will miss you more than yesterday, and tomorrow I will miss you more than today.

Do you understand exponential growth? "

The little girl was so easy to coax, Takano Mariko immediately burst into laughter.

Then, there is no more.

Zhao Chuanxin sent the pouting Takano Mariko home directly.

He decided to make the final vote today!

As a result, before he could make any move, Kobe Suzuki Trading Company exploded.

Because the price of rice rose, the top management decided to transport a batch of grain to be sold inland.

If there is an order from above, the following will naturally take action.

So we started to inspect the granary and conduct outbound quality inspection.

Originally, the old rice came out first, but the staff was so attentive that they had to go to the new rice warehouse to have a look. This was incredible.

For every ten small storage units, only two or three facing the door are full, while the other meters are missing.

I asked the guard, but he didn't know anything about it.

When I asked the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper swore that they had not seen a car coming in or out.

Chao Haiguang's hair was almost completely bald due to him.

When Zhao Chuanxin arrived, he saw a situation of one post at ten steps and one sentry at five steps.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

If something cannot be done, there is no need to force it.

As a result, Kobe has become the city in Japan where food prices have soared the most.

In some places, there were even incidents of looting of rice, and some people began to organize marches to protest.

Zhao Chuanxin followed some people heading east and entered the Kobe Residence.

Foreigners are everywhere here, and banks, churches, businesses and consulates gather here.

Others were hiding from trouble, but he was here to step in.

When we arrived in Japan, we would not be sorry for Zhao Chuanxin being assassinated even if we did not harm them.

Located in the foreign settlement of Kobe, it is very convenient for Zhao Chuanxin to do things.

Unlike the Qing government's establishment of concessions, Little Japan had already taken back the control of these settlements at this time.

As a result, the place became a mixed bag, with both foreigners and Japanese.

Here, Zhao Chuanxin is not so eye-catching.

After sleeping in a hotel, eating and drinking, it was already dark and windy.

Now, banks all over the world are pretty much the same.

What is impregnable to others is like paper to Zhao Chuanxin.

With the bonus of Azure Ghost Armor, he visited four Western banks in one night.

The process was lackluster because he was too skilled at it.

In the end, he did not go to Qunye Bank, but went to Japan Postal Savings Bank.

In Japan, the biggest reserve absorber is not Quanye but the postal service.

The Japanese people who bustle in and out every day usually come not to mail letters, but to deposit or withdraw money.

Come to think of it, as a port city in the West, the postal savings here will not disappoint you!

When Zhao Chuanxin entered the bank's vault, he was shocked to find that there were more than twice as many guards as there were in the foreign bank, there were eight people!

He fired Mjolnir, and bolts of lightning shot out.

The lightning wolves rushed and connected with each other. In addition to the scorched corpses, there were also those who were stunned.

What makes Mjolnir better than a gun is that it has no sound.

Listen to thunder in a silent place.

Today, Zhao Chuanxin didn't hold back at all and directly emptied the energy of Thor's hammer. The scene was miserable.

When he opened the vault, the light reflected from the gold and silver piled up here barely blinded Zhao Chuanxin's eyes.

"The Japanese are so stupid, how can they be so rich in postal savings?"

There are many Mexican eagles left here during the shogunate period when foreigners opened the country.

At that time, many foreigners used Yingyang for arbitrage. With the same material and weight, one Yingyang could be exchanged for three pieces of Tianbao and one cent of silver.

Use 4 Mexican Eagle Oceans to go around Japan, first exchange them for 12 Tenbao One-cent Silver in a ratio of 1:3, then exchange them for 3 Tenbao Small Pensions at a ratio of 4:1, and then take the exchanged Tenbao When Xiao Bian returns to Mexico, he can exchange for 12 Eagle Oceans, which will directly triple the profit.

Many foreigners took advantage of the unequal trade treaties signed by Japan to make profits. Later, the shogunate was overthrown and power was returned to the imperial family. Some of the Yingyang arbitrage failed and remained in Japan permanently.

There are old Tianbao one-cent silver and small coins, as well as Mexican eagles, and even more yuan, money, and cents after the Meiji Restoration.

Japan was on the gold standard at this time and used gold, silver and copper to make money.

1 yuan = 100 money = 1000 cents.

In the beginning, 1.5 grams of gold was exchanged for 1 yuan.

Therefore, there are not only various gold and silver coins here, but also a lot of gold in various shapes.

Zhao Chuanxin stole four Western banks, and the amount was not as large as Japan's postal savings!

At this time, he vaguely heard a police whistle ringing outside the bank.

He hurriedly cleared out the inventory, came to the window that he had destroyed, and looked outside.

It turned out that after the Western Bank next door was robbed, someone discovered clues and called the police.

Jumping out of the window, he took a detour.

Unexpectedly, while the police surrounded the Western Bank, they were blocked by a row of Japanese military police at the intersection of the residence.

Now Zhao Chuanxin has two choices, either to break out to the southwest, where there is the sea. The dragon swims in the sea, and no one can catch him. But there you will encounter police surrounding the bank.

Breaking through to the northeast, you will encounter Japanese military police setting up a blockade.

After thinking about it, I found that the Japanese police were easier to bully.

As usual, light a cigar.

He took out two Madsen machine guns from the secret space and pulled the bolts respectively.

It would be difficult for others to hold a Madsen and shoot it.

But Zhao Chuanxin walked over with a cigar in his mouth and a handful in each hand.

"Hey, who are you, stop and get checked!"

A policeman chirped.

"Fake Squid!"

What greeted him was Tata Tata...

Firepower is king.

Don't deceive me!

Relying on his fortitude armor, Zhao Chuanxin unscrupulously emptied the magazines of two guns and approached the foreign bank.

The policemen on the opposite side, who were not very well-educated in combat, suffered heavy casualties immediately.

The others hid in the bank and did not dare to show their faces.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the two Madsen machine guns and gained an extra pistol.

A great man once said: Either the west wind prevails over the east wind, or the east wind overpowers the west wind.

Zhao Chuanxin was calm and walked along the outside wall of the bank.

On the other hand, a group of police officers were in a panic. There were occasional gunshots, and they didn't know where to shoot. Most of them fired randomly in panic.

Turning on the see-through function of the devil's crystal glasses, he could see the distribution of the police in the bank at a glance.

Until they were completely out of the bank's confines, the timid police officers did not dare to pursue him.

He was completely suppressed in momentum by Zhao Chuanxin's firepower.

However, the military police setting up the jam heard the gunshots and sent out manpower to support them.

But they all rely on "No. 11" to walk. Who can be faster than whom?

Zhao Chuanxin successfully reached the coast and jumped in without stopping.

By the time the shocked police and military police with joint support chased him to the coast, Zhao Chuanxin had naturally disappeared.

The next day, the surviving policeman was asked who the other party was.

"I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark. However, I heard him say before shooting, Fake Squid!"

"..."

It’s true, it was Westerners who did it!

…

The clues left by Zhao Chuanxin in many of his crimes are similar.

In the middle of the night, you cut the windows, beat down the guards, violently broke the vault door locks, had super firepower in the aftermath, and... I won't even leave you a hair.

Even if the current investigation methods are limited, anyone who is not a fool can connect these things together.

Even if it is known that these cases were committed by the same person, the question is who is this person?

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin found Takano Mariko.

Takano Mariko was mysterious: "Zhao Sang, have you heard that four Western banks and postal savings were stolen last night. The thieves took away all the money."

After pinching her tender cheek, Zhao Chuanxin said: "The thief is really powerful, he is simply my idol."

"That's not true." Takano Mariko said, "How can you regard bandits as idols?"

"You can't put it like that. What's wrong with being a bandit? Look at Japan. Aren't you just bandits? They go to Northeast China and wreak havoc."

"No, the teacher said it was to develop the local economy."

This is the advantage of being a robot with no emotions.

You will never be disappointed because no emotion was ever given.

Although he wanted to curse, Zhao Chuanxin just laughed and did not correct him.

"Mariko, let's go shopping in Kitano Ward today, okay?"

"OK!"

Zhao Chuanxin is a master who never suffers losses.

Since Little Japan educates students and says that invading China is "developing the local economy," even if it is just one sentence, he has to find his place, right?

Kitano District is twenty minutes away from the port, and the bank that Zhao Chuanxin visited last night was among the banks here.

Many foreigners gather here and it is very popular with tourists. It is full of shops and bustling.

The police and gendarmes had already dispersed, and it was as if yesterday's shootout never happened.

Arriving at the jewelry store, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Let's go in and take a look."

This is MIKIMOTO, which was just established and opened its Kobe branch.

MIKIMOTO founder Kokichi Mikimoto cultivated round pearls and has since been dubbed the King of Pearls.

At this time, Japan's jewelry manufacturing industry was still a wasteland, a virgin waiting to be developed.

No one is preaching craftsmanship these days.

Therefore, jewelry stores like Mikimoto are occupying the market very quickly.

Takano Mariko was immediately attracted by the pearl jewelry in the store. After looking at the price, she stuck out her tongue and pulled Zhao Chuanxin to go outside.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the pearl jewelry on the counter and curled his lips disdainfully: That's it?

He has experienced an era when no one would pick up a pearl even if it was thrown on the street.

"It's okay, let's see, which one do you like?"

The clerk looked at the two people and seemed to think that they had no purchasing power, so he looked down at the account book and ignored them.

Seeing this, Takano Mariko was actually happy, so that she would not bear the pressure from the clerk's enthusiasm.

Pointing to a ring, he said, "This is quite nice."

A very ordinary gold ring with pearls embedded in it, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "What a crappy thing.

Look, do you like that necklace? "

He was pointing to a chain full of pearls.

"Well, no, that's suitable for nobles to wear in social situations."

"Would you like to take you around Tokyo and let's go socialize?"

He is actually thinking about the banks in Tokyo...

Being able to take the beauty with you is much better than running alone.

"No, I still have to go to school."

Finally, Takano Mariko chose a necklace with a single pearl inlaid with gold, saying that it was her favorite.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hand on the counter and said to her with a smile, "Let me do a trick for you."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his fingers.

Under his fingers, a pile of Japanese silver coins with dragon patterns gradually stacked up, growing taller with his fingers.

"Wow...how did you do that?"

"I won't tell you." Zhao Chuanxin turned to the clerk and said, "I bought this necklace."

The clerk didn't care whether it was a trick or not, but when he heard that he wanted to buy something, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly collected the money and packaged it.

These days, Zhao Chuanxin is just trying to pick up girls when he is traveling without money, and he has not even treated her to a meal.

Therefore, Takano Mariko did not expect that he would buy her a necklace.

"I don't want it."

He quickly declined in a low voice.

"What? Flax falls?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled maliciously.

By this time, the clerk had already packed it.

I directly took the necklace packaged by the clerk and went out with the clerk's congratulatory gift.

After the two left for a while, another customer came to the door.

The customer pointed at the counter and said, "Your business is very good today. All the jewelry is sold out."

The clerk looked down and suddenly let out a miserable cry: "Ah... who stole my jewelry!"

That's the trick.

Don't worry about your grades, they rose too fast and I was caught off guard, haha.
