mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 197 Li Guangzong Comes

What a big breath!
Mi Dun guessed that Zhao Chuanxin should be very rich, able to organize an insurance team, and possess sophisticated weapons, without strong financial support, he would definitely not be able to do it.

But no matter how small Hong Kong Island is, it is not easy to buy the entire Hong Kong Island.

"Do not make jokes."

"No kidding, if you can make the decision, sell it."

"Hehe, I can't sell it."

Zhao Chuanxin knew the result a long time ago.

He shrugged: "Forget it, it's the same to buy more land. But don't fool me, you brought me here because you want me to develop this place?"

If he remembered correctly, he went further into the mountain, where there was a small village, and there were dry toilets until the 21st century, which shows that it has not been a business center.

"Haha, just take a look, don't think too much."

The two rode around for a while and began to walk back.

Through the whole territory of Kowloon.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the large space and said: "What is this place for? It looks quite dilapidated."

According to his expectations, Midun said: "This was originally the HSBC Bank factory that printed banknotes in 1872. Now that the address has been changed, this place will be demolished."

Hearing about printing money, Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up.

He is keen to leave some marks of his own in this turbulent era.

It is not just a random record in the history books, but also a real thing.

The construction of Lugang Town is like this, the painting is like this, and the sculpture is like this. He has always wanted to make silver coins exclusive to Lugang Town.

Just like he used to take jobs on online platforms, and occasionally carved homeless coins for people.He tried his best to label himself as a "master", and then wanderer coin lovers would think that the shit of a master is delicious.

Selling stories is worth more than the things themselves, and acting skills are required.

Now it seems that there is an opportunity to directly make a currency, and I am excited to think about it.

"Where did the obsolete equipment go? Does HSBC sell it?"

He glanced at Zhao Chuanxin strangely: "It has been packaged and sold, are you interested in those equipment?"

"Slightly interested."

"Then you can order the latest machines from the UK, why stick to obsolete products?"

For the time being, Zhao Chuanxin has not figured out why people in this era are not afraid of counterfeiting currency?

It can only be said that opening a factory is not a trivial matter in the world, let alone various anti-counterfeiting technologies.

Since Mi Dun was not worried about these things, Zhao Chuanxin said bluntly: "Then you can help me make the connection. I want to buy machines for minting silver coins and printing banknotes."

Midun reminded: "It cannot be said that minting silver coins is 100%, but there is also a 90% probability that they will lose money. Many mints have lost money and closed down. As for banknotes, if no one recognizes what you print, it cannot even be circulated. "

Zhao Chuanxin said indifferently: "I just want to play."

You are amazing, it takes a lot of effort for others to run a factory.You spend money to buy a big toy?
Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin thought of something.

He stared at Mi Dun with burning eyes: "Mr. Governor, there is one thing that I almost forgot."

"what's up?"

"From now on, Huayang should not be treated differently. Especially in the area of ​​body searches."

"Zhao, your reaction was actually too extreme. It was just a routine inspection..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted: "Routine inspections are fine, but they must be treated equally."

"The situation is different." Mi Dun insisted: "You know, the level of civilization in the world is different."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed angrily.

Why are there different levels of civilization?
Beat magic with magic, and he will too.

"Hehe, if you insist, I will also be in all Xuantianzong's commercial occasions. Whenever foreigners pass by, I will conduct a search. If there are any who do not cooperate, I will have them beat them with a rattan cane. If you dare to resist, I will let them know why the flowers are so red!"

"..."

Mi Dun believed that Zhao Chuanxin could do what he said.

If so, it's really messed up.

What virtue do foreigners have?
At this time, foreigners boasted that they were superior to others, and if they were searched by Zhao Chuanxin, they would inevitably resist.

If it really leads to bloodshed, it is estimated that this matter will continue to toss.

But he was not happy with Zhao Chuanxin's arbitrary and arbitrary attitude.

He has always been arrogant to others, and now he is being treated in the same way as others.

He said, "Zhao, I don't think it's going to do you any good."

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "I know some physiognomy, and I found that foreigners in Hong Kong Island have suffered bloodshed recently. Would you like to take a gamble, can I see it correctly?"

The gazes of the two people were pointed at the wheat awn.

"Zhao, do you think you can fight against the British army? No matter who you send to search, this kind of chaos can only end in one end, that is, it will be suppressed by force from the British army."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "I think I can. Just let them try."

Mi Dun choked enough.

"You won't be so lucky forever."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his nails disdainfully: "Yes, do small human beings also want to slay dragons? Either you change this rule, or I help you change it. What are you afraid of if a few people die? If you want to change, How can there be people who are not dead? If a few people die, if tens of thousands of people can stand up, then these few people will die well."

Where have you seen such a pretentious person?
Mi Dun was very angry.

"Zhao, you still need to consider this matter carefully."

Zhao Chuanxin lost his patience: "No need, I was just making a fuss before. If you insist, see you on the battlefield."

The arrogant Mi Tun was a little discouraged.

He felt as if he was no match for this man.

"I'll think it over."

"I will urge you."

This topic ends here.

Today, I probably finalized a few lands that I want to buy.

When the sun sets in the afternoon, the trip is about to end.

Li Ziyu pushed Li Zining: "Go and apologize to him."

Li Zining hesitated to move forward, a little embarrassed.

But Li Ziyu pushed her from behind many times, and she finally mustered up her strength and moved forward a few steps.

however,
Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and pulled: "Stay out of the way!"

Li Zining: "..."

Taking a strange look at Li Zining, Mi Dun sent out an invitation: "Would you like to have dinner together?"

It can't be said that we have abandoned our past, but dinner is an important link for British people to connect with each other.

Today, Mi Dun saw some of Zhao Chuanxin's methods, and felt that it would be okay to make friends.

"That's no need, Western food is too bad. I'll treat you to some skewers and drink beer another day."

"Outdoor barbecue? That's really a violation of a gentleman's status."

"If you don't pretend, you will die, right?"

"..."

For Mi Dun, this day's communication was not pleasant.

But Zhao Chuanxin has the ability to make others adapt to him.

Lao Tzu is this kind of person, what do you like.

Probably, everyone who comes into contact with him will understand this in the end.

At least Mi Dun implicitly accepted his personality.

This time, Zhao Chuanxin returned directly to the Lugang Town Charity Association.

Finally, there is no need to hide in Tibet.

When he appeared, Liu Jiahui was very pleasantly surprised.

"Captain Zhao, haven't you left?"

After Zhao Chuanxin entered the room, Da Chichi sat in Liu Jiahui's seat: "It's hard to say anything. Mi Dun was too enthusiastic, so he left me behind."

"He asked you to stay? We went to buy horses that day, and he was very arrogant. And when we wanted to interview him the next day, he refused."

"Really? Then you go tomorrow, and he will save face."

Gao Li vaguely guessed something, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Did he have a crooked mind?"

Zhao Chuanxin told the story again.

Gao Li, who is also fearless, said: "How courageous! He thinks he is a high-ranking nobleman. Can this status save his life? Why don't I lie in ambush tomorrow and kill him!"

"That's not necessary." Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand. "It's better to get rid of enemies than to end them. How can you fight and kill them at every turn? As everyone knows, I am a very generous person. I don't take this little matter to heart at all."

Gao Li was taken aback by this statement: "He gave you a promise you couldn't refuse, right?"

With an embarrassed smile, Zhao Chuanxin said, "How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."

Liu Jiahui also understood in seconds: "So that's the case."

Do you all know me that well?
Suddenly, I saw a little girl behind Gao Li, which looked very familiar.

"Huh? Gao Li, this little girl?"

The little girl is not stage fright at all: "My name is Li Anyang."

Gao Li said: "This is my daughter."

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head, not knowing why.

But seeing that Gao Li didn't want to say more, he didn't ask.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Toad Boy pushed the door open with a broom in hand.

He's still doing down-to-earth work.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin, he was stunned: "Zhao Sheng, you haven't left Hong Kong Island yet? Where are my eldest brother and Chuishuiju?"

This was a reminder, Zhao Chuanxin slapped his thigh fiercely: "Hey, Cao, why did I forget about them! They should be here."

Originally, they planned to ask the telegraph office to send a telegram to Zhang Zhankui in Tianjin City, asking him to pick up Li Zhitao and the other two.

But get busy and forget about it.

Toad Boy was dumbfounded.

Xin Dao thanked himself for not following, otherwise he was unfamiliar with the place, and he could imagine how desperate the situation was.

In fact, Li Zhitao and Chuishuiju are still on board.

The shipping from Hong Kong Island to Tianjin City is not so fast.

The two were on the deck, looking at the dark sea, really wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Brother, what should we do when we arrive in Tianjin City?"

"This... we have money, so we will stay in the hotel first, and wait for Mr. Zhao to come over."

"I heard that Tianjin City is very developed, and we don't know how long we have enough money to live there."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao won't ignore us."

At this time, China's most prosperous is Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai, and the most foreign city is Tianjin, which can beat Hong Kong Island.

The timidity of the two is justifiable.

Let's take a step by step.

……

The impact of life deduction will last for a few days.

After dinner, Zhao Chuanxin dozed off.

Flipping through the diary hastily, after "I" was on my way, and going through the recovery period again, he closed the diary and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, he really came to his own territory, and the insurance team was on duty outside. Zhao Chuanxin slept soundly and didn't even have a nightmare.

There are still people waiting for you.

The next morning, a staff member from the Charity Association came to deliver breakfast to Zhao Chuanxin.

After eating and drinking enough, he came to the office of Liu Jiahui of the Charity Association.

"Toad, bring me a chair in."

Toad Boy, who did the cleaning, hurried out.

Liu Jiahui looked funny: "No matter where you go, you look like a gentleman?"

"You know me, I am a local tyrant and evil gentry."

When Toad Boy moved the chair, Zhao Chuanxin took out the drawing board and began to draw the drawings.

This is not the blueprint of Jin Yacheng and others' shop, but the design of the Xuantianzong sect that Zhao Chuanxin will build soon.

Zongmen's permanent office is in the northeast of Mongkok, while Zongmen's headquarters will be located in Shek O Peninsula.

Zhao Chuanxin wants to buy all the land in Shi'ao Peninsula.

After finishing her busy work, Liu Jiahui got up and stretched her waist. Looking at Zhao Chuanxin, who was serious about painting, she couldn't help but smile.

She walked around quietly, looking at Zhao Chuanxin's painting.

The building in the picture is very special.

First of all, this is by no means a Western-style building.

There are pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, corridors, and boats.

The difference is a large number of lighting decorations, the entire strip of French windows, and the clean marble in the courtyard.The walls are all of masonry structure, but it is not easy to see the Chinese style at a glance.

In addition to the long and winding stairs, climb up the stairs.

Looking at this blueprint, Liu Jiahui seemed to hear chime bells ringing in her ears, and the sound of fairy music lingered.There are groups of flying immortals in the sky, and Yujian soars into the sky.There are cranes trembling and white feathers fluttering.

This complex is too dusty.

She couldn't help saying: "So, you also love Chinese architecture?"

Zhao Chuanxin put down his pen: "Look at what you said, I have always loved Chinese architecture. Western architecture is simple in structure and easy to build. If you don't have money, it's best to use it as a whole to build it. Now that you don't need money, let's play." Go for something more advanced."

Hearing this, Liu Jiahui took it very seriously.

This building looks very troublesome, like a fairy palace.

"Where are you going to build this house?"

"This is called a palace, not a house. This is the headquarters of the Xuantian Sect, and it will be built on the Shi'ao Peninsula. From now on, the Xuantian Sect will gather here every year. It's like a group of cultivators discussing the reincarnation of the heavens. Isn't it very ceremonial feel?"

The word sense of ritual first came out of Zhao Chuanxin's mouth.

Liu Jiahui already understood its meaning.

She laughed and said: "Xuantianzong is essentially a group of workers. You expect them to discuss the reincarnation of heaven with you?"

Thinking about that scene, Zhao Chuanxin became exasperated: "You are such a spoiler.

What a great meeting of cultivating immortals, so that you can say that it's a dinner party for contractors! "

Then he turned the page, ignored it for the time being, and went to design the clothes that the head of Xuantianzong should wear.

Which drama should I copy... Ahhh, which fairy tale drama should I borrow from?

Tai Su in "Fairy Sword", the layers of apprentice school uniforms in "A Thousand Bone Flowers" are layered like curtains, and the uniforms of Tianyong City in "Ancient Sword" are gaudy and have lace sleeves, which is not a man.

In "Dugu Tianxia", Yu Wenhu's uniform without the "shoulder" seems to be the most domineering.

Zhao Chuanxin began to write according to his body shape.

After a while, the embryonic form has emerged.

Liu Jiahui saw that he was painting himself.

Not to mention, this suit looks really good.

Especially Zhao Chuanxin was tall, but his skin was tender.

Although the texture of his skin cannot be seen in the painting, Liu Jiahui can imagine it.

After thinking about it, it really makes people blush.

After painting for a while, Zhao Chuanxin asked, "Where is Li Guangzong?"

"He should be on the boat from Tianjin to Hong Kong Island. Maybe he happened to pass by your two subordinates."

Zhao Chuanxin was full of emotion: "When you are doing serious business, you can't do without Li Guangzong."

"Yeah, with model workers around, you can be a shopkeeper."

"You can't talk like that. I'm also very diligent. By the way, let Gaoli find someone to see if the British police are searching Chinese people again? If the old boy Mi Dun is not obedient, I will teach him to be a man."

"Will it affect your layout on Hong Kong Island?"

These foreigners are used to probing, pushing their noses on their faces.

First knock on the door of your house in front of you, and when you don't respond, he will come in.

After you come in, if you criticize him verbally or in writing, he has nothing to do with it.

You try to drive away with your hands, and he fights back with his fists.If he gets the upper hand by luck, he will show off his power and make an inch of it.

A little bit, you will be cowardly.

Now, Zhao Chuanxin is treating the great powers in the same way as the great powers.

First let you understand what kind of person I am, and then let you understand what is meant by "don't say it is unpredictable".

When you get scared, it's time for me to make a condition.

Throughout modern history, it is like playing house like this, almost nonsense.

For example, Little Japan gambled on the national fortune several times, and let them win the bet. It is no different from immature people who "take a gamble to change a bicycle into a motorcycle".

Zhao Chuanxin wants to learn from the great powers.

He waved his hand: "It's okay, it's over, let's see who is the first to persuade."

Mi Dun was naturally afraid.

At least, those who went to observe today found that the British police did not search.

Report to Zhao Chuanxin when you come back.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said to Liu Jiahui: "Look, he should be cowardly first. When Xuantianzong grows bigger in the future, I will let them retreat step by step until there is no way to retreat."

People like Liu Jiahui, who are in the vortex of the times and can hardly see the overall situation, naturally cannot understand why Mi Dun compromised.

"So why are the foreign powers so powerful?"

The next day, Li Guangzong arrived.

It came so fast, beyond Zhao Chuanxin's expectation.

Even, did not go to the port to pick up the station.

Shuangxi took several people to escort Li Guangzong to the south.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw a few people, he jumped up in surprise.

"Why are you here so fast?"

Lugang Town is his home, and the two great ancestors, Gao Li, Shuangxi, Er Fatzi, and Zhang Daquan, are his relatives.

Meeting relatives in a foreign land is extraordinarily pleasant and cordial.

Shuangxi was equally happy: "I heard that you are going to start a large-scale construction project on Hong Kong Island. Guangzong packed up his luggage and left on the same day without saying a word. We took the train and almost didn't get off. When we arrived in Tianjin City, we took the fastest boat."

Li Guangzong stepped forward with a smile: "Sir, we have finally found a breakthrough. Congratulations."

Ever since he read Zhao Chuanxin's note, Li Guangzong has always been obsessed with accumulating strength to meet the future situation.

At this time, the domestic industry and commerce are too weak, and what can be regarded as a big battle is the railway construction.

However, he is not well-known, and people don't take them to play.

Just like Yuan Datou and Sun Duosen founded the first Qixin cement company in China this year.According to Yuan Datou's meaning, whoever has money can find someone to raise shares.Sun Duosen emphasized that money alone is not enough, and only people with reputation and connections can participate in the Beiyang Group's enterprises.

Hong Kong Island, which was waiting to be rebuilt, was like a springboard, and it appeared in a very timely manner.

"It's your turn to show your skills." Zhao Chuanxin poured tea for several people himself. "I got Xuantianzong, from now on, you will be the deputy head of Xuantianzong."

Li Guangzong didn't know about Xuantianzong yet, so he said in a daze, "What deputy head?"

After all, martial arts and celestial beings have not yet officially emerged, and the owner of Huanzhu is only a five-year-old child at the moment...
