Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 232 The Burned Past ([-]): The Flower of Evil

Chen Changsheng was still young at that time, but at the age of nine years old, he didn't know what he had experienced, and there was clearly no childish feeling in his eyes.

Together with his father, he planted the flower of evil into the medium established under the direction of William Adams.

Since then, the flower of evil brought by William Adams has bloomed in the underground world of Gushanggang.

After a few months, they successfully harvested the first fruits.

As William Adams said, this kind of evil flower is indeed different from the native species of Tianshen State. It is an "improved product" that can bloom more colorful flowers and bear larger fruits.

The fruit of this improved product is three circles larger than the fruit of the ordinary strain, and the seeds in the fruit are more plump.

The only disadvantage is that the seeds in the fruit of this improved product are much less than the ordinary product.

There are usually about 1000 seeds inside the mature fruit of the common evil flower.

As for this improved product, the fruit is obviously bigger, but the seeds are very few. There are less than 100 seeds in one fruit, but the pulp is more than ordinary species.

The materials used by William Adams to make the medium are disposable. If you want to continue planting, the medium will be gone, and you must plant it in the ground.

This means that in the following planting process, the survival rate, fruiting rate, and the quantity and quality of the fruit will be reduced to a certain extent.

But this does not prevent the impact of this improved product on Hong Kong.

At that time, the sale of Evil Flowers had not yet been banned in Tenshen State, and even due to ocean trade, a market for Evil Flowers had initially formed in Tenshen State.

Gushang Port, which is located in the offshore, is the first to bear the brunt.

Once the high-quality Evil Flower fruit cultivated by William Adams entered the market, it was like a depth bomb, disrupting all order.

The yield of this kind of fruit is low, but the quality is high, and the selling price is expensive. After being packaged as a luxury by William Adams, it burned like a raging fire from top to bottom throughout the aristocratic circle of Hong Kong.

However, in one year, William Adams had already made a lot of money, and the accumulated silver filled three long sails with a load of 800 tons.

As a result, Chen Changsheng entered into the circle of aristocrats who sold him to Hong Kong.

He has experienced complicated experiences since he was a child, and he has seen the warmth and coldness of human beings. He looks childish on the outside, but his mind is already more mature than ordinary adults.

He used his age as a weapon, and his tragic experience as a tool to win sympathy and goodwill, and soon won the favor, love and help of some older ladies in the aristocratic circle of Shanghai.

At the same time, he has "a lot of respect" for William Adams. As long as he "investigates" the news, he knows everything, and he can say everything, which has greatly helped William Adams in his business journey in Shanghai.

The news he brought from the circle of ladies even helped William Adams avoid several fatal vendettas.

After that, William Adams favored him and began to focus on training him——

William Adams put him on a galleon filled with silver and recommended him to study at one of the Imperial colleges.

At that time, the empire had not yet opened customs, and William Adams' reputation in the empire was terrible, so the recommendation letter was not written to the academy, but to his former mistress—the wife of a certain baroness.

As it turned out, the Baroness was nostalgic.

Or maybe there was something hauntingly unique about William Adams.

After Chen Changsheng arrived in the empire, whether he entered the customs or applied for a school as a foreigner, he received the secret help of the baroness, so the whole process went smoothly and he did not encounter any great difficulties.

This is ten years.

In the second year of the decade, William Adams returned to the Empire and established the William Adams Ocean Trading Company Limited.

Ten years later, Chen Changsheng was 20 years old.

It was also in this year that he accepted a new mission and returned to Tianshen State with a more powerful flower of evil, becoming an officer's secretary.

This officer was originally a puppet secretly supported by the empire. He had not many troops in his hands, and his strength was not ranked in the entire Tianshen State.

After Chen Changsheng's arrival, this officer was like a god's help. In just eight years, he rose to prominence and became the leading warlord in a certain province in the northwest plateau. He was called the "Marshal of Military Affairs" by the outside world.

Chen Changsheng didn't show off anything, he was just a low-key adjutant, and his statement didn't go far.

And one of the most important reasons why a military officer can become a warlord is that Chen Changsheng earned enough military expenses for him—wherever a warlord goes, flowers of evil grow everywhere, and what grows from that seed is not just a disease. and debility, and unimaginable amounts of money.

With the expansion of the warlord's power, Chen Changsheng once again returned to Baihuyuan.

Time flies.

Chen Changsheng had to take the White Tiger Plain, not only because the White Tiger Plain was once an alluvial plain, the land was fertile and suitable for growing crops.

It is also because this place is the strategic hub linking the southern basin of Tianshen State, the northern grassland, and the western wilderness. In this era when all the big forces are in trouble, if the warlord wants to do something, he can use this place as a base to build his own rear. Subsequent expansions will be safer and faster.

The third reason that no one knew was Chen Changsheng's own personal affairs.

When he was young, his family used to be considered wealthy, but he lost money because of doing business. When he left Baihuyuan, he was stared at all the time. It was obvious that the neighbors were all relatives, but no one was willing to lend them some money for turnover. As a result, they could only sell their properties and leave their homes.

The only person in this Baihuyuan that Chen Changsheng thought about was Mr.

The master taught him the truth and enlightened him.

When he and his father had pawned the house and had nowhere to go on a snowy night in the cold winter, it was the husband who allowed him to stay overnight and gave him meals.

When Chen Changsheng left Yuanshang, there was almost no kindness in his heart.

And Mr. is the last person in his life who wants to repay kindness.

Therefore, Chen Changsheng urgently wanted Mr. to accept his idea. Chen Changsheng, who had been to the empire, had already seen the power of industrialization, and he had also seen with his own eyes the fate of farmers who did not have the means of production in industrialization.

He didn't care what happened to the people of Baihuyuan.

But he knows that Mr. cares about this land and the people on this land.

If the land and people on Baihuyuan are destroyed due to the upcoming industrialization, my husband will be very sad.

In order not to make my husband sad, he needs to make this land rich as soon as possible.

Only when the common people have money earlier, when industrialization comes, can these money be exchanged for means of production, and then use the means of production to make more money——

Based on what Chen Changsheng saw in the empire, combined with the knowledge of sociology he had learned, he concluded this way of thinking, and believed that this was the only way to solve the current predicament that Bai Huyuan was facing.

But sir not.

My husband slapped him, but Chen Changsheng didn't care. He is a grateful person. If it wasn't for the night that he was taken in and the meal, he would have starved to death in that cold night. up.

Chen Changsheng's grievances and grievances are clear.

returning a Favour many times more.

After being kicked out of the academy by his husband, he still wanted to persuade him.
