The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

If Chi Yisheng wants to send a telegram, he must obtain the consent of Liu Huaqiang, the Minister of the Student Union, because the communication rights of Juanwang Technical College are in his hands.

Liu Huaqiang read the contents of the telegram and shook the paper: "If this is not the principal's intention, but your nonsense, do you know the consequences?"

Chi Shengsheng said in a mean voice: "Minister, look at what you said, how dare I tease you? I only dare to talk nonsense after I'm full."

"Humph, that's good if you know."

Liu Huaqiang doesn't like him very much because he is very slippery and not very motivated in his studies.

He sent the telegram to Lubin Mansion.

Soon, Lubin Mansion replied to him.

In addition to indicating that it has been received, there is other content.

Liu Huaqiang was surprised when he saw him and asked quickly: "Where is the principal?"

Chi Yisheng said: "His old man is drinking simmering soup at Guluer in the Russian Concession."

Liu Huaqiang took the telegram and was about to go to Zhao Chuanxin when a student came to the communication room to find him: "Minister, we increased the compression of the mixture of gasoline and gas. The mixture was already burning before the spark plug ignited, but there was additional deflagration. I observed carefully and found that there were huge pressure fluctuations in the cylinder, which would damage the engine and make a huge noise. Everyone was at a loss, but I guessed that this was due to impure gasoline. The principal has Western connections, please help everyone inquire. , do foreigners have higher purity gasoline now?”

Because Zhao Chuanxin had shown an obvious dislike of the handle before, as the saying goes that if someone is good, the disciple will follow suit, so the students began to study how to light a fire without shaking the handle.

The direction is to increase the mixture of gasoline and air, resulting in deflagration.

The noise is loud and a large number of turbulent pressure waves are generated in the cylinder, causing the engine to knock.

Originally, the quality of steel in Hankou was not as good as that of the Yankees, and then the constant impact of detonation further reduced the engine life.

At this time, the student in front of him mentioned a hypothesis: He believed that the engine should perform work in an orderly and clean manner.

That's why I asked.

Liu Huaqiang glanced at the telegram and said that it was so far away that even if the principal wanted to deal with it, there was no rush.

He found that Hua Liang was a little excited and a little unconfident, so he nodded: "Hua Liang, you have made great progress in your knowledge recently. The principal said, imagine boldly and verify carefully. We do have Western connections, so I will help You ask.”

Hua Liang was born in Wuxi, a descendant of the Hua family.

Wu-Xi Fahrenheit, the most famous is the deceased Hua Hengfang, and then his younger brother Hua Shifang.

There are many educators in this clan, and what is even more valuable is that not only the liberal arts, but also the sciences are prosperous.

Hua Liang inherited the family's intelligence and was highly valued by Liu Huaqiang.

Hearing this, Hua Liang was greatly encouraged.

Chi Yisheng looked at it with envy.

He also wanted to have a bright face, but unfortunately, he just couldn't learn it.

Those messy mechanical knowledge give me a headache just looking at them.

Liu Huaqiang did what he said.

His contact line is - Li Guangzong, Hong Kong Island - Lawson Trust Company, New York, USA.

Where is the intelligence distribution center in the United States?

It must be Wall Street.

Lawson Trust Company holds a wide range of stocks, especially Zhao Chuanxuan's huge investment breadth is astonishing.

They only need a phone call or a telegram to quickly learn about the latest progress in today's scientific world. Technology is the primary productive force, and top companies have mastered the latest technology. The logic is this.

After several twists and turns, the news came back.

Liu Huaqiang held the telegram with regret on his face: "The Western side responded that today's gasoline antiknock agents cannot solve the knocking problem."

Hua Liang was also a little disappointed, but his eyes immediately lit up: "Foreigners can't solve it, then I will solve it myself."

Liu Huaqiang showed an expression that said, "You are brave, but I'm afraid you can't do it." He patted Hua Liang on the shoulder and said, "Let's encourage each other."

Foreigners have been studying it for so many years and still haven't been able to solve it. How can you do it with your touching chemical background?

But Hua Liang expressed dissatisfaction.

…

Netherlands.

Belenat received a telegram from Lubin Mansion in the Qing Dynasty.

He knows what Lubinfu means.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Beilenat felt bad.

The German-Japanese War?

It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

The war started because an officer from the German Concession in Hankou went to the Japanese Concession for prostitution and did not pay the prostitute.

What a fucking joke.

What the telegram said about having a nose and eyes seemed to be true.

What other peacekeeping bureau? Who allowed it to have a private permanent establishment?

At this time in the Netherlands, it’s not yet dinner time.

The loose skin on old Bernat's face shook, and he immediately called for a small meeting.

"A war between Germany and Japan is impossible. Zhao Chuanxin is talking nonsense."

"Yes, sir. In fact, I just spoke with the German Foreign Minister. It's nothing."

Bernadette nodded: "Let's talk about it, what is Zhao Chuanxin's intention for doing this?"

"I guess he wants to take advantage of a little contradiction to expand his influence."

"I received news from friends in the financial sector that Japanese businessmen may have bribed Zhao Chuanxin to stop his boycott of Japanese goods. I guess he wants to expand his influence and make money."

"Haha, it seems that butchers also love money."

At this time, Bernat suddenly said: "Have you ever thought that Zhao Chuanxin might have really resolved the conflict between the German and Japanese concessions? If he was really resolving the conflict, then the permanent organization he established—— Peacekeeping Bureau, do we want to admit it?”

"Sir, I think it's better to verify the facts first."

"We must not recognize the Peacekeeping Bureau. Not to mention that he is not a formal member of us yet. Even if he is, he cannot set up an organization privately. Otherwise, wouldn't the Arms Limitation Committee be in chaos?"

"But we can't openly veto it and tell the world, otherwise what will happen if Zhao Chuanxin jumps over the wall in a hurry? You know, he will come to The Hague soon."

As soon as this was said, there was silence.

Some people couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Who had to bother Zhao Chuanxin to sign the document in the first place? Isn't this actively inviting disaster?

The 79-year-old old guy, Bernat, looked at everyone's expressions and sneered in his heart: What a bunch of cowardly rats.

He is so old, of course he is not afraid of death.

He was noncommittal and said calmly: "Then let's wait until Zhao Chuanxin comes to The Hague. As long as it's reasonable and compliant, I don't believe he dares to risk the disdain of the world and do something to everyone here. Let's vote by a show of hands then."

"Then...neither admit it nor deny it?"

Bernadette nodded: "Yes."

…

Lugang Town.

Miao Cuihua and Liu Jiahui got off the train.

The tall and muscular Amadeus Miller carried a wooden suitcase in each hand and another under his arm, following behind.

He is quite strong.

As soon as they got out of the station, they saw several cavalry waiting inside the station. Someone immediately came forward, took the suitcases and loaded them into the carriage.

"You're back? It seems like the food in London is pretty good, and everyone's faces are glowing." Gao Li came to pick her up, and after speaking, she glanced at Amadeus Miller lightly.

Miao Cuihua braided fishbone braids and said with a smile, "Brother Li is still as charming as ever."

Liu Jiahui introduced him: "This is Amadeus Miller, an American university student."

But he did not introduce Gao Li to Amadeus Miller.

Gao Li was calm and calm, waving her hands: "Get in the car, it's very cold. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Amadeus Miller wanted to get into the same carriage as Miao Cuihua and the others, but was stopped by an insurance team member: "All men have to ride horses."

With that said, a horse was brought.

Amadeus Miller: "..."

He often practiced gymnastics when he was in school. He was born tall and strong, but he actually never suffered much.

He is proficient in equestrian skills, but who wants to ride a horse in the winter?

So, he shamelessly tried to force his way into the carriage.

However, a member of the insurance team stretched out his hand to stop him.

The player didn't look strong or tall, but just by extending his right arm, it was difficult for Amadeus Miller to advance.

Amadeus Miller wanted to use force, but the man's left hand pulled out the Winchester M1897 from the holster on the saddle of the horse and spun it around.

Amadeus Miller backed away obediently.

No matter how high you are, you will fall down as soon as the spray goes down.

The insurance team member grinned, put the shotgun on his back, and made a "please" gesture.

As a result, Amadeus Miller could only get on his horse.

After leaving the station, there was a clean road outside, with white snow on both sides.

Amadeus Miller thought to himself that the road was really wide and neat.

But why can only four-wheeled carriages be seen, but not a single car?

The Qing Dynasty was indeed still poor and backward.

When we arrived at Lugang Town, there were many shops on both sides of the stone road, as well as various stalls.

Trash cans stand at regular intervals along the road, in good order.

Some people wear robes, and some wear cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, but the material density is not enough and the hair is sticking out. However, down jackets are very attractive to rich people. They are light and warm, but they are difficult to maintain and troublesome to clean.

Here, Amadeus Miller doesn't see so many yin and yang heads.

Although it is not completely impossible, because many people have to go out to do business, cutting off the hair will cause trouble.

Lugang Town is so prosperous, a small and exquisite kind of prosperity, and the density of the population makes Amadeus Miller speechless.

Because at the beginning of construction, Zhao Chuanxin had set aside a complete space for infrastructure construction, as well as landscape layout such as greening.

From time to time, heroic mounted policemen would pass by. These policemen were both men and women, and each had a quick rifle.

They didn't care if there were snot-nosed kids fighting on the street. They only stepped forward to stop them when they got anxious and wanted to hit them.

The female cavalry sergeant was quite beautiful, but she was extremely tough. She held a snot-nosed baby by the collar with one hand and slapped it on her butt with her two feet: "You little bastard, get out of here."

A group of snot-nosed kids wiped their noses and paid no attention to it, laughing and scattering like birds and beasts.

Not far away, there was another argument and fight on the street.

A mounted policeman dismounted and asked questions.

The cause was that the two of them bumped their shoulders while walking.

The general process is: what do you look at, how do you look at you, and blanch you...

"Who makes the first move?"

"he!"

"You did make the first move, right?"

"Yes, boss, I made the first move."

"Did you call back?"

"Not yet. This bastard is shaking his head like a rattle. I can't hold him at all."

"Stand still, let him fight back, and then disperse."

"I won't do it."

"Zhuo, if you don't do it, don't blame me for enforcing the law strictly." The senior mounted police officer pressed the wheel and handcuffs on his waist.

"That's...ok."

One punch, bang.

Black eyes and blue eyes.

The two parties parted ways while glaring and cursing.

Amadeus Miller grinned when he looked at it: The folk customs here are so fierce and terrifying...

Then passing by the villa area, he said proudly: "It's really good. If you choose to settle here, with my financial resources, I should be able to buy a medium-sized villa. Estephania, where do you live?"

His words were filled with pride for his wealth.

Estefania was the English name given to Miao Cuihua by Zhao Chuanxin when she went abroad.

The word Miao Cuihua is a bit difficult for foreigners to speak.

Miao Cuihua pointed to the largest and most beautiful villa: "No. 1, Linhai Road, Yanguang Street."

Amadeus Miller: "..."

He was a little confused. He didn't expect Miao Cuihua to live in a mansion.

Then he asked shamelessly: "It's not convenient to stay in a hotel. Estephania, can I stay at your house?"

It's a good thing that Gao Li doesn't understand English, otherwise... maybe he would have to fight for Zhao Chuanxin and beat this foreign devil to death?

But Liu Jiahui could understand, she curled her lips: Boy, you are so brave, you are really screwed.

Miao Cuihua showed a charming and coquettish smile: "Haha, I can't."

Amadeus Miller: "..."

…

Lubin Mansion.

Yao Jiazheng was shopping with a group of "interns".

"Being an official in Lubin Mansion requires you to be down-to-earth. If you don't go out for a walk, sitting in the yamen every day is equivalent to governing with your eyes closed. Taking you out for a walk is also a preparation for the establishment of a consultative bureau to legislate after the year."

At this time, a middle-aged man selling steamed buns saw Yao Jia, Ma Liu wrapped four Buryat steamed buns in paper and brought them to him: "General Manager Yao, this is to honor you."

Yao Jia took it with a smile, took a bite, and her mouth was full of oil.

Lubinfu’s steamed buns are honest.

Tang Qunying, who was following behind, frowned: "General Manager Yao, how can you take the people's things?"

The middle-aged man laughed beside me and said to himself that you are really nosy.

Yao Jia said proudly: "Eat some of the people's food, drink some of the people's food, eat and drink enough, and wholeheartedly benefit the people."

Tang Qunying: "..."

Dog officer!

She was so angry.

Yao Jia was in a high position, but Tang Qunying hated him very much.

He is careless and does not look like a parent official who makes decisions for the people.

Are you still taking things from the common people now?

Jiang Jian, who was behind her, pulled at the hem of her clothes and whispered, "You talk too much. The Lubin Prefecture's code of conduct for public officials clearly states that you can take needles, thread, and needles given by the people. As long as the amount does not exceed a dime, it is not considered bribery."

Tang Qunying's eyes widened: "Don't do evil for small things. Is it possible that Lubin Mansion is really a moral depression? When the Advisory Council is established to legislate, I will definitely oppose it."

"Haha, it sounds like if you are not allowed to take a needle and a thread, everyone will really stop taking it."

There is no way to reason with people who see things in black and white.

The boss of the steamed stuffed bun stall asked Yao Jia cautiously: "General Manager Yao, are we, the small vendors, really not going to collect taxes next year?"

Yao Jia nodded: "Well, no, just put your heart back in your stomach."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed.

After passing by this place, Yao Jia said to everyone: "The yamen issued a notice saying that the vendors did not charge taxes, but he didn't believe it. I ate a few buns from him and said he would not charge taxes, and he believed it. Why do you think this is?"

Everyone suddenly realized something.

Yao Jia said: "In the past, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but things are much better now. But as soon as the government orders are issued, there are many people who don't know or don't trust the government. Don't think that as long as you give orders in the government, the world will be unified. Then It is nothing more than idiotic talk. The people that our magistrates value are not only the gentry, but also the common people who are insignificant in the eyes of the gentry, as well as those who are as rich as the enemy of the country. Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are indispensable and must be treated equally."

Jiang Jian's brows stretched and the corners of his mouth raised.

He felt that the policy strategy of Lubin Mansion was better than that of the rebels named Sun, who only had one head to bear.

I just glanced at Tang Qunying secretly and found that this woman was still aggrieved - the true axis!

Many times, parents who do not know how to adapt will do good things, but in the end they mess up one of them.

The common people know everything, but they understand nothing.

For example, if the government wants to plan the future, it is obviously beneficial to the people, but if it gives the people the illusion that they will suffer, the people will rise up and oppose it; as long as the people feel that they are taking advantage, they will stop.

Let them feel that they are taking advantage, but do not allow them to push further. If they have sweet dates in one hand and a big stick in the other, the people will be obedient.

If the morning is three and the evening is four, the people will be angry; if the morning is four and the evening is three, the people will be happy. In short, the advantage must be taken first, otherwise the people will feel uneasy and worry about the order changing overnight.

Finally, Yao Jia concluded: "The common people do have wisdom, but don't overestimate their wisdom. It is wrong to fool the people, but it is okay to keep them in the dark temporarily, but the result must be good..."

Probably so.

…

Zhao Chuanxin drank soup, earthen pot chicken soup, the soup was fresh and the meat was rotten.

In an uninhabited corner facing the wall, he took off his mask, took out a small mirror and took a look. His gums had a row of fine but very small cusps growing strangely.

This is why the soldiers in the German Concession were so frightened that they did not dare to look again.

There is no need to look at this thing too much. If you look at it too much, you will have nightmares.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth in the mirror with a scary smile. Not only did he drink soup today, but he could also barely eat some mushy chicken.

After eating and drinking, his footsteps teleported back to Bagong's house the moment he stepped out of the store.

Mainly because Xingyue made him a mask, so he couldn't wear it in public.

It is easy to attract onlookers.

Back at the attic, Zhao Chuanxin took out his sword and practiced for a while.

After three hundred rounds of fighting with the virtual desert emperor, he suddenly stopped and allowed the desert emperor to stab him with his sword.

Of course he was unscathed. He asked Xingyue: "I suddenly remembered something. I used the pages of the "Devil's Code" to fold a quill and predict my life span on the sand table. What do you think of this? "

At the time, Quill roughly meant he wouldn't live to be a hundred years old.

Xingyue said: I don’t think it has that kind of predictive ability, especially in two worlds with completely different rules. Even if it can, your future has changed now.

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Then if you absorb the pages of the "Devil's Code", what good will it do to you?"

Xingyue said: The person who created me seems to have learned from the operating rules of the "Devil's Code". My logic improved significantly as I absorbed the pages. The operating rules of the book pages coincide with the sixth singularity axiom of the mirage. My transformation of your soft gold armor just needs the page of the "Code of the Old Gods" you left behind. The sixth singularity axiom is to excite the singularity energy to the vacuum energy level. Using the characteristics of the sixth singularity axiom, I want to excite the devil particles from the valence band of the worm silk to the conduction band, and move directionally driven by the external field. Your world does not have singularity energy, but you have the old sacred fire. The sacred fire energy can also be stimulated to the vacuum energy level...

Zhao Chuanxin swallowed: "Honestly, did you learn these from the books you bought from Rune City Bookstore? Why did the craftsmen make little progress, but you became a top student?"

Xingyue said without emotion: The craftsmen have also made progress, but they just didn't show it. Part of my knowledge comes from those books and manuscripts written by noble descendants, and part of it is deduced from the 13th ball.

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin: "By the way, you were going to take the No. 13 ball that day, and I never saw it again. Where is my ball?"

Xingyue: I dismantled the ball and broke it into pieces.

"..." Zhao Chuanxin: "You really deserve to die. Do you have a hand?"

Xingyue:......

Xingyue: Don't worry, the fragments are more useful than the ball.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to ask, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Liu Huaqiang stood outside holding a telegraph newspaper...
