Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

The Japanese cabinet also adopted this suggestion and began selecting exquisite women from various schools.

What they want now is to use women to seduce Shen Hao, and hurry up to build the super-dreadnought battleship, ready to deal a fatal blow to Shen Hao at any time.

Not only that, Japan also purchased a super dreadnought battleship from the United States.

The purpose is to have stronger firepower than Shen Hao.

However, the purchase of a super-dreadnought battleship worth more than 10 million US dollars still had a great impact on Japan's domestic economy.

461. Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Priest

Purchasing a super-dreadnought battleship would cost at least more than 20 million oceans, something that ordinary Beiyang warlords would not even dare to think about.

Not to mention the warlords, even Yuan Shikai would feel the pain.

Japan has gone through several national wars over the years and has quickly shifted from agriculture to semi-industry.

But due to the lack of energy, it is okay to bully some other countries.

However, no one expected that Shen Hao's sudden rise would bring Japan's development to a standstill.

Even the two battles with Taiwan directly defeated Japan so much that it dared not act rashly.

Although Japan has gathered its resources, it still has the strength to fight.

But if we want to attack Taiwan, the army is simply not enough and we have to rely on the navy.

However, the destruction of the two fleets greatly reduced the strength of the Japanese Navy, which could no longer bear the consequences of the destruction of the fleets.

If it is destroyed again, Shen Hao's fleet will be able to directly attack the Japanese mainland.

Therefore, the Japanese did not dare to gamble and could only delay time as much as possible and wait for the launch of the super-dreadnought battleship.

I originally thought that I would be able to take revenge on Shen Hao after the super dreadnought battleship was launched.

But in the end, Shen Hao actually bought a super dreadnought battleship from the United States. This news made Japan feel like it was facing a formidable enemy.

With the super-dreadnought battleship in Shen Hao's hands, the Japanese Navy would have no advantage at all.

Moreover, Japan purchased less than ten aircraft from France, while Shen Hao purchased 20 aircraft from the United States.

Not counting the previous plane.

He doesn't have as many planes as Shen Hao, so he is not at an advantage; his army equipment doesn't have as many as Shen Hao's, so he is not at an advantage either.

The navy is no longer at an advantage, so Japan has no choice but to purchase super-dreadnought battleships from the United States.

Otherwise, if the navy cannot win, Japan will only become more passive.

Shen Hao alone put a lot of pressure on Japan.

What the whole of Japan couldn't understand was where Shen Hao got so much money.

Although we know that Shen Hao has a military factory, the output of even one military factory is not enough to meet the demand.

No one else can investigate these.

I don't know where to start investigating.

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe got up early in the morning and rode their horses to Wen County.

By noon, we finally arrived at the suburbs of Wen County.

When the two were about to find a place to rest, they came to a bend in a earth wall.

Suddenly, a young girl came into view.

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe hurriedly tightened the horse reins, but the inertia was too great and the horse's head still hit the girl.

The two men hurriedly dismounted to check the girl's injuries.

Uncle Jiu helped the girl up and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay?"

The girl frowned, rubbed her shoulders and said, "It's okay, you guys should be careful when riding, don't be so reckless next time."

Uncle Jiu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady, it's our fault.

I'll take you to see a doctor."

The girl hurriedly shook her head and said, "No... no, I have to hurry on my way."

Then, he felt into his arms and found that the thing was missing. His face changed and he looked around hurriedly.

Taoist Qianhe asked, "Miss, what are you looking for?"

The girl said: "I'm looking for my steamed bread."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe also started to help look for it.

Soon, two steamed buns covered with yellow soil were found in the corner of an earthen wall.

Seeing this, the girl didn't mind and just put the bun into her arms and limped away.

Seeing this, Taoist Qianhe and Uncle Jiu hurriedly stopped the girl.

The actions of the two seemed to arouse the girl's vigilance. She looked at them defensively and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Uncle Jiu smiled what he thought was a kind smile and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady, we are Taoist priests from Mount Mao.

Not a bad person.

We saw that you were injured and there was someone there, so we wanted to help you."

After saying that, the two men took off their coats, revealing brand new yellow robes underneath.

Seeing that the two men were really Taoists, the girl was visibly relieved.

Then he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

He said and left again.

Taoist Qianhe said: "Your foot is twisted. If you keep walking like this, you will definitely hurt your bones. It is too dangerous to walk for several miles without anyone around.

Let’s talk about it after you have healed your injuries.”

Uncle Jiu looked at the anxious girl and said, "Miss, have you encountered any difficulties? Just tell me.

We will definitely help you solve it.”

The girl shook her head and said, "My problem cannot be solved by you two Taoists."

Uncle Jiu straightened his back and said confidently, "Don't worry, there is nothing we can't solve."

Taoist Qianhe nodded and said, "That's true. Don't worry. If we can't solve it, I'll give you this horse and fifty dollars and let you go. What do you think, girl?"

Seeing how sincere the two men were, the girl gradually let down her guard.

After hesitating, he slowly told his difficulties.

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe also learned the girl's origins.

The girl's name is Yueya, and she is 17 years old. Because her father and stepmother planned to sell her to an old man as a concubine, she chose to escape the marriage with two corn steamed buns in her pocket.

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe both sighed softly. Women in this era indeed had a difficult fate.

Taoist Qianhe stared at Yueya carefully. He found that she was really beautiful, with delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth, and her jet-black hair was braided into a big knot.

Really good, no worse than the women in Shen Hao's mansion.

Isn’t this more fragrant than a female ghost?

Yueya will definitely be willing to marry Shen Hao.

Thinking of this, Taoist Qianhe and Uncle Jiu looked at each other and could see the meaning in each other's eyes.

Taoist Qianhe said: "Ms. Yueya, don't worry, no one dares to do anything to you with us here."

Yueya hesitated and said, "What if my father reports it to the police?"

Uncle Jiu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, we are not afraid even if they report you to the police."

Yueya was surprised and didn't understand where Uncle Jiu got his confidence from.

Uncle Jiu said: "Don't worry about this. This time we are here to find Gu Xuanwu. With him, your problem can be easily solved."

Yueya was surprised and asked, "Commander Gu?"

Gu Xuanwu still has a great reputation in Wen County.

Yueya naturally knew.

I didn't expect that these two Taoists actually knew Gu Xuanwu.

If Gu Xuanwu really helped, her father would not dare to say anything.

Gu Xuanwu is extremely powerful in Wen County and no one dares to mess with him.

Thinking of this, Yueya said expectantly: "Then... I'll trouble you, Taoist Priest."

462. The Crescent Moon is Not Something You Can Remember

Taoist Qianhe laughed and said, "Miss Yueya, please don't say that.

It was because of our recklessness that you, Miss Yueya, were injured. We must take responsibility."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, we must be responsible."

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe were so enthusiastic that Yueya felt warm in her heart and felt that she had met good people.

Grateful: "Thank you so much, both Taoist priests."

“Don’t say that, maybe this is fate.

Okay, let’s go to Wen County first and talk about it later.”

After Taoist Qianhe finished speaking, he and Uncle Jiu helped Yueya sit on the horse.

Yueya sat on the horse with a look of curiosity on her face.

This is the first time I ride a horse in my life, and I am very happy.

Taoist Qianhe walked in front, leading the horse. Uncle Jiu felt it was inconvenient to ride the horse, so he also pulled the horse and walked along.

Two horses and three people on a country road.

As they walked and talked, Yueya became familiar with Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe.

When he heard that the two people were here to catch ghosts, he was so scared that his face turned pale, but at the same time his heart was full of curiosity.

So he asked, "Master Qianhe, Master Jiushu, are there really ghosts in the world?"

They both nodded at the same time.

In his heart, he still decided to introduce Yueya to Shen Hao. In case the female ghost he found was too ugly and it would be difficult to report to the superior, it would not be bad to bring back a beautiful sister.

Besides, Yueya's experience was so tragic, it was her luck that she was introduced to Shen Hao.

In the past, perhaps Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe thought that the fate of a woman who became a concubine would be miserable, but they no longer think so.

In Shen Hao's mansion, almost all the women were happy, and no one saw the concubine being bullied, beaten or killed.

Naturally, they treated him as one of their own and therefore did not hide anything.

Taoist Qianhe said: "Of course there are ghosts in this world, as well as zombies, and spirit monsters, such as fox spirits, weasel spirits, and zombies. These can cause considerable harm to ordinary people."

Yueya's heart was beating wildly with fear.

I'm scared but I also want to know the story.

Seeing Yueya's face turn pale as paper, Uncle Jiu comforted her: "Don't worry Miss Yueya, no demons or ghosts would dare to come out and cause trouble in broad daylight."

Yueya asked again: "Why don't they dare to come out during the day?"

"Because all ghosts are of the Yin element, the ghost energy is stronger at night. The stronger the sunlight, the weaker the Yin energy.

So ghosts are afraid of sunlight.

People are afraid of ghosts at night, and ghosts are afraid of people during the day.

Of course, ordinary ghosts cannot leave the area where they died, and monsters that have become spirits hide in the deep mountains and forests and dare not come out.

Moreover, the formation of ghosts, goblins, and zombies also requires certain special factors, so there is no need to worry too much.

"

Hearing this, Yueya felt relieved.

It would be really scary if there were ghosts everywhere.
