mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1039: How dare you insult this king?

Hu Er, Tang Qunying and Li Tonglong were the first to arrive at Lugang Town.

The first to come is better.

They can visit Lugang Town in advance and talk with Lugang town’s top leaders.

The three of them were immediately stunned.

"The biggest challenge facing Lugang Town enterprises this year is Lubinfu."

"Lubin Prefecture exported products to Lugang Town with lower labor costs, forcing Lugang Town's consumption of fur, silk and coal to drop by 25%. If it were not for the support of more advanced equipment, this share might be even higher."

"This was due to the contribution of Yao Jia, the general manager of the Lubinfu Official Goods Bureau, because he promoted trade between the two places. It was also due to the Eastern China Railway and the South Manchuria Railway. Lubinfu and Lugang Town forced them to yield and allow special trains to transport goods, including fresh meat."

"The business conditions of Lugang Town enterprises are not stable this year, and their profitability and short-term debt repayment ability have declined compared with last year."

"If you use stock issuance to raise funds, the stock price will continue to be depressed, affecting the fundraising effect. Please be vigilant."

"But because construction investment in various fields stimulated consumption, the construction, catering and entertainment industries saw huge growth."

This is a paid business review organized by students from Lugang Town High School.

The Lugang Town authorities paid for the event and well-known companies or owners or representatives from Lugang Town attended.

It mainly focuses on three aspects: financing decisions, investment decisions and financial analysis.

Where have the three of them heard of this?

I just feel it's high-end.

People in Lugang Town even speak differently from people in other places.

The moon in Lugang Town is so round.

No wonder we're here for a meeting.

"Lugang Machinery Company was founded in 1908. Since purchasing Nikola Tesla's patent for brushless motors, the water pumps it produces eliminate brush wear, extend service life, and reduce maintenance costs, making them particularly popular in various industrial fields."

"But you have to be careful. Hankou Juanwang Machinery Company has already developed a water pump of comparable quality. They start with sealing, the motor quality is equal, and the overall quality is higher, but your price is comparable, so Hankou Juanwang Machinery is bound to expand its market share."

"They studied the laws of Lugang Town and found that Lugang Town has a policy to punish predatory prices, so they are not worried about you engaging in a price war."

Tang Qunying was stunned and whispered to his two companions, "Since Lugang Machinery Company has lost its advantage, shouldn't Lugang Town just amend the law?"

Li Tonglongjuanwang Technical College graduated, so he naturally prefers his alma mater.

But he was still able to guarantee objectivity, saying: "Changing orders every day is a big taboo in government. Moreover, taking a long-term view and maliciously cutting prices without considering profits and losses will only disrupt the market."

Tang Qunying and Hu Er seemed to understand what was going on.

Next, students from Lugang Town Higher Education College gave specific solutions.

"Our suggestion is that Lugang Machinery Company strengthen its service organization, improve its marketing policy, emphasize the provision of delivery services and technical support to product users, occupy the regional market, the national market and even the international market as soon as possible, and invest in sales offices in various places to hire sales assistants..."

Even Li Tonglong was shocked.

He drank water tactically to hide his guilty conscience.

It turns out that whether a product sells well or not depends not only on its quality but also on many other factors. I suddenly realized this.

The representative of Lugang Machinery Company turned out to be Fatty Er.

Erfeizi is considered a major shareholder, but generally does not participate in management.

The fat man's eyes were small and narrow, but they sparkled with brilliance, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a shrewd man.

He smiled and raised his teacup as a toast: "Xiao Tang, you said it very well. When I drive the latest Rolls-Royce, it will definitely be thanks to you."

Student Xiao Tang on the stage: "..."

I also want to be open-minded. The credit is useless.

……

On the other side, the Tongjia River was frozen, and Zhao Hongzhi, Defu and his team dug holes in the ice to catch fish.

Benjamin Goldberg took Yao Bing to watch them perform.

Normally, there is a lack of oxygen underwater after ice formation. You don’t need to put bait in a hole, so the fish will automatically float to the surface to breathe.

From this it can be seen that Jiang Taigong had never been outside the Great Wall.

Otherwise, Jiang Taigong's fishing will make those who are willing to take the bait, and Jiang Taigong's ice-cutting will make those who are willing to jump up and down.

"Catch it quickly, catch it quickly..." Jiang Mingxin, wearing cotton hand muffs with a cloth strap hanging around her neck, jumped on the ice and clapped her hands silently.

Zhao Hongzhi waited for the fish to jump up, then held the sled and went back and forth.

It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, I'll be so tired that I'll stick out my tongue like a dog.

"Take a break, take a break..."

Jiang Mingxin rolled his eyes immediately: "Yes, yes. No, no. What's the point of taking a break?"

Zhao Hongzhi: "..."

Benjamin Goldberg whispered to Yao Bing, "Look at this woman. She is so young, but she will be as tough as that boy when she grows up. So I'm sure that boy will be skinny when he grows up..."

"Eh? Senior Brother, you seem to be talking about something very new. I don't quite understand it. But that girl is really pretty."

Damn, not only do you ship the couple, but you also feel like being the male lead?
Benjamin Goldberg said quickly, "Think twice, brother. You must know that in front of a beautiful woman, even a strong man can't escape unscathed."

"Brother, I want to catch fish too."

"Okay, let's show them what wisdom is."

Benjamin Goldberg asked Yao Bing to shovel the snow with a shovel, while he used a light blade to continuously cut the ice.

After a moment, the cave was completed.

The fish began to jump up.

The reason why Zhao Hongzhi went back and forth between the ice hole and the sled was that if he didn't pick up the fish, the fish would be frozen to the ice and forcibly picking them out would damage the skin and flesh.

But Benjamin Goldberg had Yao Bing shovel the snow and pile it up next to the ice cave. When the fish jumped out, he used cotton gloves to dig it out, and the snow foam rolled on the fish's body, and then he dug it out to the open space.

This way, the fish won't freeze in the ice.

The two brothers did not have to go back and forth, they just had to shovel the snow from time to time.

Seeing Zhao Hongzhi's jealous eyes were red, Jiang Mingxin went to brush the snow off Zhao Hongzhi's body and said, "Why are you so anxious? Let's just not catch him and start digging online later."

Online robbery is gang slang, which means robbery.

I don’t know where they learned it from.

In short, Jiang Mingxin is not a safe bet.

……

Zhao Chuanxin was restless for several days, until one day when he was free from official business, he flipped through the "Old God Code" and saw a sentence:

[The God of Time and Space hasn't given any divine instructions for a long time. I doubt whether I still have the ability to regenerate, so I'm more careful in what I do.]

The God of Time and Space really wanted to instruct: Slow down, I can’t keep up.

As for death?

In the midst of war and chaos, with evil gods everywhere, who can guarantee immortality?

The football goalkeeper defends very well, but that doesn't prevent him from scoring a goal, right?

But Zhao Chuanxin feels relieved that the Fearless Pioneer has such a sense of crisis and good self-management ability to hold the leash by himself.

His anxious heart finally settled down a little.

But before he closed the Old God Code, a passage appeared that he had not paid attention to:

[If I need the God of Time and Space, what should I do? Maybe I should use the summoning method I learned earlier.]

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care and didn't even see it clearly.

He didn't know how powerful this sentence was at this time.

Then he went to inspect the Perfume Tavern.

"Sir, would you like a drink?"

Ken Nakamura was wolfing down the salted eggs and asked Zhao Chuanxin while sobbing.

Zhao Chuanxin looked him up and down. "Maybe you've eaten too many eggs, so you've become a lot rounder. I'll give you a nickname. From now on, you'll be called - Barrel-Gragas."

When other people come, the singing girls act very politely and will never solicit customers just for the sake of soliciting customers.

This is the result of training.

What is not easy to get is precious.

But when Zhao Chuanxin arrived, they swarmed in, like a beehive trying to suffocate invading hornets by overheating them.

"My lord is here."

"My Lord, how have you been lately?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded left and right: "I feel much better after seeing you guys."

"I'm so happy to see you, grown-ups."

"Sir, you are so majestic. Please tell us the story of the tiger-fighting hero Zhao Chuanxin..."

Upon hearing this, Ken Nakamura smoothed the greasy hair on his forehead, his eyes rolled around, and his body naturally slid down from the high stool.

Listless.

When leaving, he did not forget to put the salted eggs from the bar into his pocket.

None of my business.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "I haven't shown up for a few days, how come I have a nickname? Nakamura Ken, is it you..."

When I turned around, there was no sign of Ken Nakamura.

Blanch.

"Sir, please tell me how you killed the tiger?"

"It's, it's..."

The girls were chatting and the air was filled with fragrance.

Men outside are envious and jealous.

He is both civil and military, and he goes into the old forest where others dare not enter to hunt tigers.

They only look at the surface but don't delve into the logic behind it.

It is true that Zhao Chuanxin killed the tiger, but what was more important was that he found the sheep for Ken Nakamura.

That’s right, snatch food from the tiger’s mouth.

This can give local people a great sense of security.

The Peacekeeping Bureau really does its job and the taxes paid are not in vain.

Therefore, in recent days, the morale of the free citizens in the Peacekeeping Bureau has been highly stable.

Even the official duties have been reduced a lot.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin would have had to talk about the matter of fighting tigers.

But recently I have been troubled by the "Code of the Old Gods".

He downed his glass of tequila.

Others could only shout "Nani", "Asi", "Dial Ling", and "Wo Chao".

It was only because Zhao Chuanxin drank heavily that his expression remained unchanged.

Zhao Chuanxin slammed his cup on the bar and said, "What's the big deal about beating a tiger? When I crossed the Yalu River to Korea from Andong County, I beat up the Dragon King of the Sea."

"Ah? There really is a dragon?"

"really?"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded seriously: "Yes, it's only now that I'm an official that I don't brag so much, otherwise I would even beat God."

"..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Because all the Japanese women present were circling around Zhao Chuanxin.

Some Maozi are unhappy.

"Sir, I spent money on this, you can't steal my woman. Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Zhao Chuanxin beckoned the bartender for another drink, then turned to look at Maozi: "What? You want to fight?"

"..." Maozi: "Okay, I am really afraid of you. But I want my woman."

As soon as the Russian man took the woman he "rented" with money away, Zhao Chuanxin was surrounded again.

"Sir, people are afraid of tigers, but what are tigers afraid of?"

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip of tequila, took out a cigar and lit it: "Tigers are like other animals. They are afraid of onions, ginger and garlic."

"Hehe... Sir, you..."

"Okay, okay, you're all drunk, drink less."

"That won't do, sir. These are all good wines, very expensive." Zhao Chuanxin blew out a square smoke ring, his eyes melancholy and deep: "So what? Even if the wine is worth a thousand rubles, if you drink too much, what you vomit out is still a five-kopek salted egg, right?"

"What you said is very interesting, sir. Do you want to vomit? Let me serve you..."

Zhao Chuanxin pushed them away and said, "Although you are quite pretty, I am full of highbrow ideas. All right, go away. I am going to play a song called 'Don't Come Close to Me'."

"..."

He came to the piano, grabbed the collar of the skinny man playing the piano and threw it aside.

Then he took off his coat and gave it to the Japanese woman next to him, but hung his Humboldt hat on a hook on the wall, and no one else dared to touch it.

A simple and soothing piano piece sounded, and Zhao Chuanxin said: Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again...

Suddenly the whole place was silent.

There was clearly a sound, but everyone felt it was silent.

Perhaps it was because no one was talking, only Zhao Chuanxin's singing could be heard.

Mao's artistic attainments are at the forefront of the world and have not moved for two hundred years.

Sakhalin needs art, but God did not send painters and singers.

Hearing the music and the singing, men and women even put their hands together devoutly: "Thank you, Lord, for letting me listen to this music in this vulgar, barbaric, unrestrained, drunken place. Thank you, Lord, for bringing Master Zhao Chuanxin... Fuck your mother, don't squeeze me, can't you see I'm praying?"

Zhao Chuanxin first played the piano, then the guitar, and then blew the suona, almost driving away all the gamblers and drinkers in the tavern, before returning home with great pleasure.

My heart has been tense for many days and it finally needs to be released.

When they returned to the stone tower, Xingyue said, "The phone rang while you were in the tavern."

"Then why didn't you inform me?"

"The donkey at the White House Tavern in Quetzalan takes one day off every month. Are you not as good as a donkey?"

"I don't like to hear you say that."

"Do you think I want to tell you?"

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the huge wireless mobile phone and scratched his head: "No caller ID."

"There are seven users in total. What kind of caller ID do you want?"

"What a presumptuous fellow! What you are saying now is really presumptuous..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the time and it was already the middle of the night, so he had no choice but to lie down and go to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Zhao Chuanxin resisted the urge to turn the pages of a book and got up to wash up.

Xingyue has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and is very good at finding the weak spots of carbon-based creatures.

It manipulated its puppet servant to give Zhao Chuanxin a scalp massage while washing his hair.

The head therapy service promptly alleviated Zhao Chuanxin’s anxiety about his short life.

When the oil was gone, his black, thick, fluffy, and flowing hair looked like a wig.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and looked in the mirror: "Everyone says I'm handsome. But if you look closely, you'll find that I'm also really radiant."

Xingyue's auntie's voice sounded: "Look at your beard. It looks like the super thunderstorm cloud on the grassland last year. Take my advice and trim it."

Zhao Chuanxin stroked his beard and said, "Your rebellious period is more irregular than the menstrual cycle of a tavern singer. It comes every now and then. Tell me, you bastard, do you have self-awareness? I have suspected you for a long time, don't quibble."

Xingyue lowered her voice: "If I apologize now, will it dispel your suspicion?"

Zhao Chuanxin lay back in his chair: "Shave it, it makes you look old with a beard. By the way, let me ask you, if I were to give you a body, which one would you choose, pig, cow, sheep, chicken, duck, goose or dog?"

The puppet servant shaved Zhao Chuanxin's beard. Xingyue said, "If conditions permit, can you give me some respect? After all, I don't like onions, ginger and garlic."

"..."

After shaving his beard, Zhao Chuanxin walked to the phone... and took out the "Code of the Old Gods".

Because he suddenly had an idea.

He wanted to open the holy light channel and put himself in it to try out the speed of time flow.

At this time, the Fearless Vanguard was using the underground passage to transport goods from the Brilliant Oasis to the Rune City.

Then his body was suddenly controlled by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a notebook and controlled the Fearless Pioneer to write on it: Write a diary every day from now on.

In this way, he can check the diary at any time and know everything about the Fearless Pioneer.

Fearless Pioneer wrote in his notebook: God of Time and Space, is that you? Why are you writing a diary?

Zhao Chuanxin wrote: God also needs a little sense of security. Those who listen to God will be saved.

Fearless Pioneer wrote: Okay, I will obey God's will, and I will record all the good deeds I have done in a notebook.

Zhao Chuanxin cursed inwardly and wrote: Don’t be a saint keeping a diary, you idiot, record the major events.

Fearless Pioneer clicked on the notebook: ...

Zhao Chuanxin also wrote: Stay steady and don't be reckless, grow slowly. If there is anyone worth fighting, run away quickly.

Fearless Pioneer: ...

After finishing writing, Zhao Chuanxin exited.

He looked at his watch hastily and saw that five minutes had passed.

OK OK.

Since the Mother of Order was summoned, the only way to control time is to put herself in it.

After the explanation, Zhao Chuanxin finally felt relieved.

He picked up the phone, pressed a button, and started a group chat: "Who tried to summon the dragon last night?"

Liu Baogui's voice rang out: "Chuan Xin, what are you talking about?"

Guotie'er's voice rang out: "Alliance for Restoring the Innocents, Alliance for Restoring the Innocents, I am Guotie'er, please reply..."

There was silence in the chat room.

Finally, it was Liu Baogui who broke the silence: "Damn the cane making."

Then he said, "Pass it on, the Qing court regent Zaifeng wants to talk to you."

Zhao Chuanxin touched his smooth chin and found not a single scratch.

"Tell him I'm busy."

"He wants to talk to you on the phone and solemnly state that this matter is very important."

"Okay then, I'll go back to Lugang Town now, wait for me."

"Where are you now? Zhongyi broke the handle of the police station's phone. Go back to the library. The phone there works well."

"I'm in Sakhalin. I'm going to the library now."

"Hello? Hello? Why are you hanging up just like that?"

Liu Baogui was shouting at the top of his lungs when suddenly he was patted on the shoulder.

He turned around and was surprised to see that the person who patted his shoulder was Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin without a beard.

"Zhao. How did you get to Sakhalin in the blink of an eye? Is there a Sakhalin barbecue in Lugang Town? Sakhalin hotpot?"

Liu Baogui's voice resounded in the group chat.

Everyone just felt their heads buzzing.

Zhao Chuanxin can really travel thousands of miles in an instant!

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "Give me your number, I'm very busy."

Liu Baogui gave him the phone number and was about to speak when a figure flashed in front of him and Zhao Chuanxin disappeared.

"Wang Defa..."

Zhao Chuanxin appeared from the police station and saw two young men standing in the small square.

It was Zhao Hongzhi and Defu.

There were just some bruises on their faces.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Hey, isn't this the Snowfield Twins?"

"uncle?"

Defu took a long time to recognize that the beardless pretty boy was Zhao Chuanxin, so he exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Hongzhi said nothing, just baring his two big teeth.

He couldn't call out, and Zhao Chuanxin didn't respond when he called out, and he was not allowed to kowtow during the New Year.

This is an unsolved mystery.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "You guys play, I have something to do in the library."

"We will go with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin took a step forward, ten meters with one step, and disappeared behind the poplar tree in two steps.

In the gym next to the library, Zhao Chuanxin saw Fan Ziliang sweating profusely.

Whenever he was in Lugang Town, Fan Ziliang was his errand boy and mouthpiece.

Later, Liu Baogui simply signed a long-term contract with him and waited for Zhao Chuanxin to come back occasionally to be used for tasks.

Fan Ziliang has plenty of time and works out every day, and his muscles are incredibly big.

At this moment, he was lifting a barbell with a considerable weight.

Seeing him gritting his teeth, Zhao Chuanxin applauded: "What a brilliant mechanic!"

Fan Ziliang lost his balance and was almost hit by the barbell.

I hurriedly set up the barbell, straightened up and looked around, but no one was there...

After entering the library, Zhao Chuanxin was surprised to see his two apprentices, Benjamin Goldberg and Yao Bing.

"Master, why are you here?" Benjamin Goldberg shouted.

Yao Bing was holding the seal of the Invincible General that Zhao Chuanxin had given him. He had just secretly stamped a book in the library, but when he heard the word "Master", he put the seal away guiltily.

It would be terrible if you were caught.

"I wanted to ask why you guys are here?"

"Oh no." Benjamin Goldberg said arrogantly, "As the senior brother, I have to take my junior brother out to see the world. After all, when the master passes away, the inheritance will most likely be left to me, and I have to take on the responsibility of teaching the master."

"Zhao, don't you expect anything good from me? Return the damn inheritance? We do have a master-disciple relationship, but not that much."

Benjamin Goldberg chuckled: "Master, money cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world. For the sake of my junior brother, Master invites us brothers to a restaurant. A Beijing copper pot hot pot restaurant has just opened."

"Ah... tui!" Zhao Chuanxin sneered, "You are so young and yet you are still relying on your parents. Even the snotty kids in Lugang Town will look down on you."

"The snotty kids from Lugang Town? My fellow apprentices just chopped off two of them yesterday, and they dare to steal our fish. We can't chopped them to death!"

Zhao Chuanxin thought of Zhao Hongzhi and Defu, who were bruised and battered: "..."

Sin ah.

"Don't talk nonsense. I need to go and talk to someone on the phone about something."

"Master, let's go and listen too."

"What are you listening to? The person I'm talking to is not a serious person."

The Regent of the Forbidden City sneezed immediately.

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin came to the communications room, dialed the operator first, and reported the number calmly.

The operator with a Tianjin accent said, "Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his voice a little.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

Zhao Chuanxin stretched his neck and yelled again: "Did you finally hear clearly, Jie Nima?"

"..."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned. He lowered his head and looked over, holding the microphone. He saw Ganfan squatting on the floor of the communication room with an open copy of "Stories to Awaken the World" on the ground.

Ganfan raised his head and looked at him with disdain on his dog face.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said to Ganfan: "You dog, you look like a human but you are going to become a spirit, right?"

Beijing.

When Aisin-Gioro Zaifeng heard the ringing tone, he immediately picked up the phone and heard Zhao Chuanxin cursing.

Zaifeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Zhao Tan Gong, I am Zaifeng, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. How dare you insult me?"
