The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Ueno Zenichi and Yamamoto Jotaro were actually very nervous when they heard that Zhao Chuanxin was in Hankou and wanted to invite them to Bagong's house.

It can even be said to be a battle between two forces.

The last minister to Han was killed by Zhao Chuanxin, and the Mitsui Group had unshirkable responsibility for Asabuki Eiji's murder of Zhao Chuanxinhe, although they did not admit it.

But the two still had to come.

For the sake of the country and their own interests, they must come.

In addition, if Zhao Chuanxin asked them to come instead of killing him, they would be wiser.

But you can't just come here casually. They brought reporters, and they just bribed a group of reporters. By the way, they called Feng Zhusun, the editor-in-chief of "Hankou Zhongxi News".

This person, Zhao Chuanxin, has also seen that this newspaper insists on strict neutrality. In fact, every time they report the boycott of Japanese goods based on the facts rather than advocating a boycott of Japanese goods.

Anyway, this matter is not new in Hankou. Feng Zhusun took the money and simply didn't even report it. He could still get an errand fee for going with him.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a soft gold mask, which naturally surprised the three of them.

But Zhao Chuanxin's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, leaving the three of them confused.

"Huaqiang, hurry up and bring me the Keemun black tea that I don't want to drink easily to entertain the two distinguished guests."

Liu Huaqiang: "..."

The Keemun black tea seems to be piled up in the warehouse.

It was the tea that Zhao Chuanxian collected from his previous inspection of warehouses in Hankou.

Yamamoto Jotaro sat up straight and felt that the sofa in the living room was very soft and comfortable. He instinctively wanted to lean back, but he immediately reacted and moved forward, letting half of his butt occupy the sofa.

He said after careful consideration: "Mr. Zhao, regarding the previous train explosion on the Lu-Han Railway..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, "Oh, you guys are blowing me up, I don't care at all."

"..."

The whole audience could hear the needle drop.

Yamamoto Jotaro explained with a pale face: "Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood, that was not our fault."

"Harm, I understand, I understand everything." Zhao Chuanxin took out the Sixteen Arhats olive stone sculpture, folded his hands and clamped it in the palm of his hand, and said: "When is the time to retaliate? I mean, no matter who it is, I will not let go." In your mind, please don’t feel any pressure. Now Zhao is fasting and chanting Buddha’s name, he has put down his thoughts of killing, and has been a vegetarian for half a year.”

By chance, Liu Huaqiang came back from making tea and asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Principal, apart from buying cattle, sheep, chicken and fish, what else should I buy tonight?"

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said: "Buy some cabbage, vermicelli, potatoes, tofu...beef stewed with potatoes, fish stewed with tofu, because I must have these vegetarian dishes if I am a vegetarian."

Yamamoto Jotaro: "..."

Feng Zhusun: "..."

Okay, okay, you’re just going to be a vegetarian, right?

It seems that if you don't move with the intention of killing, you are also localized, right?

Ueno said cautiously: "Mr. Zhao, our Japanese concession coexists peacefully with you, uh, your Juanwang Technical College concession without any friction. We in Japan's political and business circles have always called for repaying evil with kindness. Our good deeds are not only at home. , whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster in your country, we see pain in our eyes and feel pain in our hearts, and we will definitely lend a helping hand."

He was not talking nonsense. During this year, the Japanese in Hankou were indeed very calm. They strictly controlled the words and deeds of the Japanese in Hankou and resolutely put an end to discrimination.

Zhao Chuanxin let out a long sigh, looked at the light bulb forty-five degrees and said, "To be honest, Zhao has been walking on thin ice in his life and has never reached the other side of wisdom. Now that I have woken up, I realize that my belief is peace."

Chen Kuilong actually didn't quite understand Zhao Chuanxin as a person, and the same was true for Xu Xishen.

Their impressions of Zhao Chuanxin were all based on hearsay.

But Ueno is different from Yamamoto Jotaro. They know Zhao Chuanxin's past deeds very well. Yamamoto Jotaro even knows that Zhao Chuanxin repeatedly wanted to meet Du Lisan's eight concubines.

They didn't even believe a single punctuation mark in Zhao Chuanxin's words.

Feng Zhusun also didn't believe it. When Zhao Chuanxin was killed in Hankou, blood flowed like a river. Do you think this kind of person eats fast and chants Buddha's name?

But Zhao Chuanxin continued, waving his fist: "I give repeated orders to all the students at Juanwang Technical College to know honor and disgrace, be upright, make contributions, and promote harmony instead of destroying the Sino-Japanese friendship. But these These useless things just turn a deaf ear to my words. These bitches are like a handful of pumpkin seeds that are difficult to crack open. Friends, who understands? Who understands my helplessness?"

Ueno listened exclusively to emo.

Chen Kuilong and Xu Xi were confused.

Feng Zhusun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yamamoto Jotaro smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhao, you are right. China and Japan should live in harmony instead of tit-for-tat. If not, let's start with the "Junou Youth Newspaper".

Zhao Chuanxin stopped talking and said, "If Zhao puts his words here, the whole world can be in chaos. These incompetent students can have no morals. Only I, Zhao Chuanxin, must maintain order and promote peace!"

Ueno continued to remain silent, his impression of Zhao Chuanxin was deeply ingrained, and he could not shake it even if he spoke like a flower.

But businessman Yamamoto Jotaro felt something about it.

He probed: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that Juanwang Technical College has added a scholarship system and R\u0026D funding support. I think this is a huge expense?"

Zhao Chuanxin finally stopped advocating peace and nodded heavily: "That's right. Our Juanwang Technical College is really struggling. It's hard to be a human being; it's even harder to run an education."

I blanch...

Only then did Chen Kuilong, Xu Xishen, Liu Huaqiang, Ueno Zhuyi, Feng Zhusun and others understood.

Qing Zhao Chuanxin is rambling on and on, just because he wants money.

Ueno felt very aggrieved.

In his opinion, everyone can be settled with money, except Zhao Chuanxin, who is unwilling to be soft or hard on the Japanese by the great powers.

result……

He couldn't help but glance at Yamamoto Joutaro, and he could understand it in just a few words if he wanted to talk about the knot in his stomach and the number of these businessmen.

Chen Kuilong narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Yamamoto Joutaro.

Wanted to see how he was going to bid.

Because Yamamoto Jotaro only gave him one Jin Ruyi, if Yamamoto Jotaro gave too much salary to Zhao Chuan today, he would have to make up for it later. Otherwise, where would he put his face as a governor?

Yamamoto Jotaro also glanced at Chen Kuilong, and immediately said to Zhao Chuanxin in Japanese: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you are proficient in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled brightly and answered in Japanese: "Yes, many people call me a language genius and a master of time management."

"..." Yamamoto Jotaro offered: "In June, when the Guangdong floods hit, we Mitsui \u0026 Co., Ltd., Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and Yokohama Shokin Bank donated a total of 3,000 yen. Now, we cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Juano Technical College founded by Mr. Zhao. , also donated 3,000 yuan to show our emphasis on international education!"

After saying that, Yamamoto Jotaro stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, please accept it."

I have to say that to say that people look like dogs, they have to be Japanese.

Look, you give me money and pretend to be a grandson.

But Xu Xishen looked at Zhao Chuanxin in surprise, not expecting that Zhao Chuanxin could speak fluent Japanese.

Zhao Chuanxin struck her as a scoundrel at first, then as a slick one, and then as a fool and a fool.

She was immediately slapped in the face. It wasn't that she couldn't provide education well, it was just that her school taught things she couldn't understand.

Now she saw another side of Zhao Chuanxin.

Nowadays, everything in Japan can be called “fashionable” to Chinese people.

Many women, including some celebrities, like to be photographed wearing a kimono, and there must be a knife box and an umbrella box on the table next to them, which contain Oriental wars.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin could speak fluent Japanese, and Xu Xishen was impressed by him.

Chen Kuilong's face looked ugly.

This was obviously an attempt to bargain behind his back.

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "Then how can I let you spend money? 3,000 yen, a lot of money, Zhao has never seen so much money in his life."

Yamamoto Jotaro cursed in his heart: What a greedy bitch! Three thousand yuan, still not satisfied?

He was silent for five seconds, his cheeks crossed and he said, "No, I don't think three thousand yuan is enough to promote education. Five thousand yuan is enough. Please accept it!"

After speaking, he bowed again.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed, stood up and helped Yamamoto Jotaro, and then solemnly switched back to Chinese and said: "Huaqiang, in the future you must closely adhere to the requirements for high-quality cooperation between China and Japan, promote Sino-Japanese cooperation to continuously achieve new results, and strictly control Regarding the content reported by "Juan Wang Youth Daily", we are students in the new era. We must take a long-term view and deepen benign extracurricular and extracurricular activities. We must not just pull a rag and go to the street to scream at the top of our lungs. Disobedient , I’ll break your legs. Do you hear me?”

Zhuo... Chen Kuilong, Ueno Zhuyi, and Feng Zhusun were all dumbfounded.

This Zhao Chuanxin's official talk is both novel and consistent. In the whole nonsense, the theme is clearly grasped.

It's a pity that you don't go to meetings every day and talk about cars and windlass.

Feng Zhusun especially feels this way. Sometimes newspapers that strictly adhere to neutrality have to speak like this.

It's a pity that he won't learn it for a while.

Liu Huaqiang combed through it carefully and then realized: "Um, oh, it all depends on the principal's decision."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Yamamoto Jotaro, and said in Japanese: "Mr. Yamamoto, it's not that I'm anxious, it's just that you are busy on weekdays, and I'm really afraid of delaying your normal work. Why don't you let me, an ineffective student, follow you?" You go and withdraw the money, this will save you unnecessary trouble, don’t you think so?”

Okay, okay, you even say it's so high-sounding that you're in a hurry to ask for money, right?

Yamamoto Jotaro was heartbroken: if you are proud now, you will have to pay a thousand times the price sooner or later!

But his face showed great agreement: "That's it. After solving the Hankou matter, I still have to go to Hong Kong Island non-stop. Time is very tight."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes flashed, and then he said in a sincere tone: "Zhao loves peace, so if Japan has any conflicts with the foreign powers in the future, please stay silent and come to me, and I will help mediate. You're welcome, this This is what I, Zhao Chuanxian, should do."

Haha, bury a nail first, and we’ll tell you later whether it can be used.

Yamamoto Jotaro and Ueno were stunned.

What does it mean?

Just give me money to help find a venue?

That's a good feeling.

They obviously misunderstood and did not understand Lao Zhao's sinister intentions after all.

As soon as this matter was settled, Zhao Chuanxin picked up the tea cup.

Ueno Jōichi and Yamamoto Jotaro immediately stood up and left. Liu Huaqiang accepted the order and left with him. However, Zhao Chuanxin did not explain what he was going to do, and Yamamoto Jotaro did not say anything. Liu Huaqiang wanted to ask but was stopped by Zhao Chuanxin's eyes. .

Anyway, just follow along.

They left, and Feng Zhusun, who had been playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, also left with them.

Chen Kuilong did not leave.

After they left, Chen Kuilong asked: "Charcoal worker, what are the promises of the Japanese?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "This little devil said that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing a Sino-Japanese Friendship Coordination Group to strengthen coordination and supervision to guide them, Japanese businessmen and politicians, to repair relations with China and consolidate and expand the hard-won achievements so far. The good results have also inspired these merchants and consuls general from various places to boldly explore and take on their responsibilities. Improve the level of development and trade of resources such as coal and railway materials, enhance the ability to guarantee the bottom line of coal and other fossil energy, accelerate the construction of a new colonial system, and focus on traditional handicrafts and emerging industries. Complementarity and deep integration..."

Chen Kuilong was really numb.

That's enough.

He snorted coldly, and rolled up his sleeves.

After thinking about it, there was Xu Xishen.

He could only say in a nasal voice, "Let's go."

Xu Xishen took a deep look at Zhao Chuanxin. Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head and said, "Ah, forgive Zhao for being blind. It took him so long to realize that the lady has embossed eyes and jade wrists. She is so beautiful. It's not like that." When Madam comes back another day, Zhao is very proficient in clothing design, rouge, gouache, and women's hair accessories. He will definitely dress Madam up as the most beautiful woman in Huguang. If you don't believe Madam, you can go and ask..."

He deliberately said it very ambiguously and loudly.

Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.

I have forgotten how superior I was when I eliminated Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's voice was loud. Chen Kuilong heard it and almost tripped over the threshold.

He yelled: "Why don't you leave quickly?"

How has Xu Xi ever been so angry? She lost all her smile, and her eyes were filled with fire: Who are you with?

But fortunately, I knew the situation and didn't have an attack on the spot.

But what will happen to Zhao Chuanxin after he returns is unknown.

Seeing the two people walking away, Zhao Chuanxin lifted up his mask and spat: "What the fuck!"

Then he lit a cigarette and puffed away the smoke.

When the cigarette burned out, a student came in and told him: "Principal, all the meat and vegetables are ready."

Zhao Chuanxin had already put on his mask again and stared blankly at the untouched tea cup left on the coffee table.

The student had to say it again.

Zhao Chuanxin came to his senses and suddenly took out his copper eye: "While it's still early, take this and go to Yokohama Zhengjin Bank to deposit it."

The student took the copper eye and looked at it over and over: "Principal, this is copper, and it is not a precious stone. It may be glass. Some profiteers use glass as crystal, but even crystal is not worth storing in the bank. It is too small. "

Zhao Chuanxin was noncommittal: "Last time, someone talked to me for a long time, and then his height became shorter. Do you know why?"

"Is this... could it be that my waist is bent due to fatigue after standing for a long time? It's really strange and strange, and the students don't know."

"I broke my leg because he talked too much."

"Ah...students, go save it now!"

The student took the copper eye to Yokohama Shokin Bank, and the bank clerk had the same reaction as him: "Sir, are you sure you want to deposit it?"

He observed carefully that there was nothing outstanding about the copper eye, except that it had a strange shape with the Arabic numeral "6" written on it.

"Yes." The student nodded reservedly.

The clerk said: "Sir, we handle a lot of real gold and silver every day. I have to remind you that the bottom is made of brass. The top material is unknown, but I guess it is not very expensive."

The student nodded again reservedly: "The last time someone talked to me for a long time, he became shorter after that. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because he broke my leg."

staff:"……"

After collecting the storage fee, the clerk curled his lips and went to the warehouse with the copper eye.

Although there was already a safe deposit box business at this time, most banks did not prepare a dedicated safe deposit box warehouse. Most of them were placed on shelves and marked with information.

Domestic banks started the safe deposit box business with Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank ten years later. At first, there were only a hundred safe deposit boxes. The large-scale rise of safe warehouses dates back to the 1930s. At that time, safes became the first choice of many celebrities, mostly storing calligraphy and paintings, contracts, and yellow, white and green items.

Yellow, white and green are gold, silver dollars, US dollars...

It would be good for Yokohama Shokin Bank to have this business.

Because Zhao Chuanxin has been here before, he knows its structural principles.

On the other side, Zhao Chuanxin has returned to the attic on the top of Bagong's house.

He set up the clam tree vegetable stump cut in Guangxi and took out the Hankou Cao Zhengxing kitchen knife and the Hongdao Cyclone kitchen knife.

When chopping, use a kitchen knife, and for cutting, use a Cyclone kitchen knife so that the back of the knife does not stick to the meat.

Before anyone came, he made himself a pot of vegetable and meat porridge and drank it to satisfy his hunger.

Then I started cooking.

This meal was cooked to a very high standard, with everything from sea, land and air, including stir-fried vegetables, skewers and barbecue.

Xingyue planted several small copper pots for him, with dressed tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, beef, mutton and chicken, and fish balls that Zhao Chuanxin had just made.

Ingredients, heated, cooked, done.

When people arrive, reheat it and serve it.

Xingyue controlled the black puppet craftsman to help skewer the meat, and Zhao Chuanxin grilled it to medium rare first.

Stew, stew, stew.

A large pot of stewed noodles is enough for them to satisfy their hunger.

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue were busy unhurriedly, and the sky gradually became dark.

Liu Huaqiang came back and took the students who were developing the engine upstairs.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the door for them. Liu Huaqiang held the money bag and said excitedly: "Principal, there are a lot of silver dollars."

"Three thousand yen, is it enough?"

The Japanese yen was not worth as much as the customs yen, and Zhao Chuanxin was worried that Yamamoto Jōtaro was being clever.

"It's quite a lot, but it's more discounted." Liu Huaqiang reported truthfully. But after saying that, he was very puzzled: "Principal, why don't you continue to boycott Japanese goods? Their loss will be far more than 5,000 yen."

"The Japanese are very gamblers. If you continue to do this, I'm worried that they will jump over the wall. I'm not afraid, but you don't have three heads and six arms. Besides, didn't you listen to that dog official Chen Kuilong? The momentum in Guangdong is gradually dying down. If you continue, you may cause trouble." It's disgusting. Instead, I took the money and gave you bonuses today as an encouragement."

When everyone has lost their mood, if you keep yelling every day, aren't you just annoying people?

If you want to continue, you need another reason.

But now that the Japanese have their tail between their legs, it is difficult to find a handle for the time being.

A group of people's noses twitched after hearing this.

Many poor people, who are very poor on weekdays, seem to be making an unexpected fortune today.

You can really make money by doing research and development.

This is what Zhao Chuanxin wants.

Liu Huaqiang was thoughtful.

He always felt that it was really not in line with his character for the principal to trick a kid into 5,000 yen.

When will 5,000 yen be enough to buy the God of War?
