mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 178
For several days in a row, when he was bored, Zhao Chuanxin hung out with Takano Mariko.

Pick up girls during the day and transport rice at night.

A series of small short-distance freighters sailed from the port of Kobe to Hong Kong Island and Modu, and the cabins were full of pits and grains.

The new rice of Kobe Suzuki Trading Co., Ltd. was almost emptied by him.

By this time, they hadn't noticed it at all.

The more seamless the management, the greater the loss when a bug occurs.

With the increasing number of disaster victims in China and Hong Kong Island, food prices began to rise, which has already affected Japan.

It was another day off, and Takano Mariko did not go to school. She and Zhao Chuanxin walked side by side in the village.

"Mariko, what are they talking about?"

"They said that prices have risen sharply recently. The price of rice has risen. Britain, the world's largest rice exporter, transports rice from India to disaster-stricken China to sell it for high profits. Kobe Suzuki Trading Co., Ltd. hoards food, and the rare goods are available. It is the price of food in Kobe that has risen. the culprit."

"anything else?"

"In recent years, Japan's unprecedentedly prosperous market and foreign trade income have allowed capitalists to taste the sweetness of developing the silk industry, which has squeezed out the proportion of our rice planting. The steel industry has recruited workers, and many farmers who are farming have put down their hoes to work in factories. Therefore, food is getting more and more few."

Zhao Chuanxin's heart skipped a beat.

It's worse in secret.

Will these changes expose the rice theft in advance?
Seeing that his expression was not right, Takano Mariko asked, "Zhao Sang, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm worried about your national economy and lamenting how difficult people's livelihood is."

Takano Mariko doesn't care about these major national events.

She suddenly hooked Zhao Chuanxin's palm tentatively with her little finger.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't respond, he boldly added his ring finger.

Then the whole palm was stuffed into Zhao Chuanxin's big hand.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that his palm was soft and warm, and the corner of his mouth tugged, and he took advantage of the situation to hold it.

The damn charm that has nowhere to go.

No matter where you go, you won't stop.

Takano Mariko raised her head and asked, "Zhao Sang, will you go back to China?"

Without the slightest psychological burden, Zhao Chuanxin said casually, "Come back."

Takano Mariko had a look of loneliness on her face: "Then where is your family?"

"Hehe, I will tell you before I return home."

"Then when are you leaving?"

"It's hard to say, I have a hunch, it's just around the corner."

Middle-aged thoughts are as thick as wine, and the feelings of girls are always poetry.

Zhao Chuanxin was ruthless and severely stabbed Takano Mariko's heart.

She asked stupidly: "Zhao Sang, when you return to China, will you think of me?"

"Oh, let me think about it?" Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin: "I'm very busy, so I shouldn't."

"Humph!"

The little hand in the palm was pulled out immediately.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the petite Takano Mariko with one arm, and turned around in a circle.

"I must miss you, today I think more than yesterday, and tomorrow I think more than today.

Do you understand exponential growth? "

The little girl was too easy to coax, Takano Mariko burst into tears immediately.

Then there is no more then.

Zhao Chuanxin sent the pouting Takano Mariko home directly.

He decided to make the last vote today!
As a result, before he could make a move, the Kobe Suzuki Trading Company exploded.

Because of the rise in rice prices, the top management decided to transport a batch of grain to the inland for sale.

There are orders from above, and the following will naturally act.

So began to check the granary and carry out the quality inspection of the warehouse.

Originally, Chen Mi was the first one to come out, but the staff insisted on going to the Xin Rice Warehouse to take a look.

For every ten small units of storage, only two or three facing the door are full, and the rest are missing.

Ask the guards, the guards don't know anything.

Ask Mengang, and Mengang swears that they didn't see a car coming in or out.

Chao Haiguang's hair was almost completely bald by his scratching.

When Zhao Chuanxin arrived, he saw the situation of ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Nothing can be done, there is no need to force it.

As a result, Kobe has become the city where food prices have soared the most in Japan.

In some places looting of rice even took place, and some people began to organize demonstrations to protest.

Zhao Chuanxin followed some people heading east and entered the Kobe settlement.

There are many foreigners here, and banks, churches, businesses and consulates gather here.

Others are hiding from trouble, but he is here to step on the spot.

When they arrived in Japan, if they didn't harm them, they would be sorry that Zhao Chuanxin was assassinated once.

It is very convenient for Zhao Chuanxin to act in the foreign settlement in Kobe.

Unlike the concessions set up by the Qing court, Little Japan has already taken back the rule of these settlements at this time.

As a result, it has become a mixed bag, with foreigners and Japanese.

Here, Zhao Chuanxin is not so eye-catching.

I found a hotel to sleep for a night, and after eating and drinking, it was the time when the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Now, banks all over the world are similar.

To others, it is solid, but to Zhao Chuanxin, it is like paper.

With the bonus of Azure Phantom Armor, he patronized four Western banks in one night.

The process was lackluster because he was so skilled at it.

In the end, instead of going to Quanye Bank, he went to Japan Postal Savings.

In Japan, the largest absorbing reserve is not Quanye, but the postal service.

The Japanese people who come and go every day are usually not here to post letters, but to deposit or withdraw money.

Come to think of it, as a port city in the west, the postal savings here will not disappoint you!

When Zhao Chuanxin entered the bank's vault, he suddenly discovered that there were more than twice as many guards as there were in foreign banks, and there were actually eight of them!

He fired Thor's hammer, and arrows of lightning shot out.

The lightning wolves rushed forward and connected each other in series. In addition to the electrocuted corpses, there were also those who were stunned.

Where Thor's Hammer is superior to guns is that there is no sound.

Hear thunder in a silent place.

Today, Zhao Chuanxin didn't hold back at all, and directly emptied the energy of Thor's Hammer. The scene was horrible.

Opening the vault, the light refracted by the accumulated gold and silver here blinded Zhao Chuanxin's eyes.

"The Japanese of the dog days, the postal savings are so rich?"

There are many Mexican eagle oceans left when foreigners opened the country during the shogunate rule.

At that time, many foreigners used Yingyang to arbitrage. With the same material and weight, one Yingyang could be exchanged for three Tianbao for one cent of silver.

Use 4 Mexican eagles, go around Japan, first exchange them with 1 Tenpo pennies at a ratio of 3 to 12, and then exchange them with 4 Tianbao small pens at a ratio of 1 to 3, and then take the changed Tianbao When the judge returns to Mexico, he can exchange for 12 Eagle Oceans, empty-handed white wolves, and directly triple the profit.

Many foreigners took advantage of the unequal trade treaties signed by Japan to arbitrage.Later, the shogunate was overthrown and the power was returned to the imperial family. Some Yingyang arbitrage failed and stayed in Japan permanently.

There are not only the old Tianbao Yifenyin and Xiaopan, but also the Mexican Eagle Ocean, and more of the Yuan, Qian, and Li after the Meiji Restoration.

Japan was on the gold standard at this time, and gold, silver and copper were used to make money.

1 yuan = 100 money = 1000 per cent.

At the beginning, 1.5 grams of gold was exchanged for 1 yuan.

Therefore, there are not only all kinds of gold and silver coins here, but also a lot of gold in various shapes.

Zhao Chuanxin stole four Western banks, and there is no Japanese postal savings amount!
At this moment, he vaguely heard a police whistle sounding outside the bank.

Hastily swept away the inventory, came to the window that was destroyed by himself, and glanced outside.

It turned out that after the Western Bank next door was stolen, someone found clues and called the police.

Jumping out the window, he made a detour.

Unexpectedly, while the police surrounded the Western Bank, at the intersection of the residence, it was already blocked by a row of Japanese military police.

Now Zhao Chuanxin has two choices, either break out to the southwest, where there is the sea.Long swims in the sea, no one can catch him.But there you will encounter the police surrounding the bank.

If you break through to the northeast, you will encounter Japanese military police who set up a checkpoint.

After thinking about it, the persimmons are soft, and the Japanese police are better at bullying them.

As usual, light a cigar.

He took out two Madsen machine guns from the secret space and pulled the bolts respectively.

It is difficult for others to shoot with a Madsen,

But Zhao Chuanxin walked over with a cigar in his left hand and a cigar in his mouth.

"Hey, who is it, stop for inspection!"

A policeman murmured.

"Fake squid!"

He was greeted by Tata Tata...

Firepower is king.

Don't deceive me!

Relying on his fortitude armor, Zhao Chuanxin unscrupulously emptied the magazines of the two guns and was already close to the foreign firm.

The policemen on the opposite side with low combat literacy suffered heavy casualties immediately.

The rest are hiding in the bank and dare not show their faces.

Zhao Chuanxin took away the two Madsen machine guns and added a pistol.

A great man once said: Either the west wind overwhelms the east wind, or the east wind overwhelms the west wind.

Zhao Chuanxin calmly walked along the bank's outer wall.

On the other hand, a group of policemen panicked, and there were occasional gunshots, and they didn't know where to shoot, most of them fired randomly in a panic.

With the see-through function of the devil's crystal glasses turned on, he can clearly see the police distribution in the bank.

Until they completely left the range of the bank, the cowering policemen didn't dare to come out to give chase.

He was completely suppressed by Zhao Chuanxin's firepower.

On the contrary, the gendarmes who set up the bar heard the gunshots and sent out manpower to support them.

But they all rely on the "No. 11" to walk, who can pass whom quickly?

Zhao Chuanxin arrived at the coast smoothly and jumped in without stopping.

By the time the panic-stricken policemen and the joint support military police chased to the coast, Zhao Chuanxin had naturally disappeared.

The next day, when the surviving policeman was asked who the other party was.

"I can't see his face clearly in the dark. But, I heard him say a word before shooting, Falk squid!"

"..."

It's true, it was done by Westerners!

……

The clues left by Zhao Chuanxin's multiple crimes are similar.

In the middle of the night, windows were cut, guards were overthrown, vault door locks were violently destroyed, the aftermath was overpowering, and...not a single hair was left for you.

Even with the limited means of investigation now, anyone who is not a fool can connect these things together.

Even if it is known that these cases are committed by the same person, the question is who is this person?
The next day, Zhao Chuanxin found Takano Mariko.

Takano Mariko was mysterious: "Zhao Sang, have you heard that four Western banks and postal savings were stolen last night. The thieves stole all the money."

Pinching her tender face, Zhao Chuanxin said: "The thief is really powerful, he is simply my idol."

"That's not true." Takano Mariko said, "How can you regard robbers as idols?"

"You can't say that. What's wrong with being a bandit? Look at Japan, isn't it just a bandit? Go to Northeast China to do your best."

"No, the teacher said, it's for the development of the local economy."

This is the benefit of being a robot with no emotions.

You will never be disappointed because no affection was ever paid.

Although he really wanted to scold, Zhao Chuanxin just laughed and didn't correct him.

"Mariko, shall we go shopping in Kitano District today?"

"Okay!"

Zhao Chuanxin is a master who does not suffer.

Since Little Japan educates students, saying that invading China is "developing the local economy", even if it is just a sentence, he has to find his way back, right?

Beiye District is 10 minutes away from the port, and the bank that Zhao Chuanxin visited last night was on this list.

There are many foreigners gathered here, and it is very popular with tourists. Therefore, there are many shops and it is very lively.

The police and gendarmerie had already dispersed, and yesterday's shootout seemed to have never happened.

When he came to the jewelry store, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

This is MIKIMOTO which was just established and opened in Kobe branch.

Kokichi Mikimoto, the founder of MIKIMOTO, cultivated round pearls and has since been dubbed the king of pearls.

At that time, Japan's jewelry manufacturing industry was still a wasteland, a virgin waiting to be developed.

No one is advocating the spirit of craftsmanship these days.

Therefore, jewelry stores like Mikimoto are occupying the market very quickly.

Takano Mariko was immediately attracted by the pearl jewelry in the store, but after looking at the price, she stuck out her little tongue and pulled Zhao Chuanxin to go outside.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the pearl jewelry on the counter, curled his lips in disdain: That's it?
He has experienced an era when a pearl was thrown on the street and no one picked it up.

"It's okay, let's see, which one do you like?"

The clerk looked at the two of them and seemed to think that they had no purchasing power, so he looked down at the account book and ignored them.

Seeing this, Takano Mariko was happy instead, so that she would not bear the pressure from the enthusiasm of the shop assistant.

Pointing to a ring, he said, "This one looks pretty."

A very ordinary gold ring embedded with pearls, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "What kind of shit.

Look, do you like that necklace? "

He was pointing to a chain full of pearls.

"Well, not good, that one is suitable for nobles to wear on social occasions."

"Would you like to take you around Tokyo, and let's go socializing too."

He was actually thinking about the banks in Tokyo...

Being able to travel with the United States is much better than running alone.

"No, I still have to go to school."

In the end, Takano Mariko picked a necklace with a single pearl inlaid with gold, saying that it was her favorite.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hand on the counter, smiled and said to her: "Look, I will do a trick for you."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his finger.

Under the fingers, a stack of Japanese dragon-patterned silver dollars is gradually stacked up, increasing in height with the fingers.

"Wow...how did you do that?"

"I won't tell you." Zhao Chuanxin turned to the clerk and said, "I bought this necklace."

The clerk doesn't care about tricks or tricks. Anyway, when he heard that he wanted to buy something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly collected the money and packed it.

These days, Zhao Chuanxin is just picking up girls from the poor, and he hasn't even invited a meal.

Therefore, Takano Mariko did not expect that he would buy her a necklace.

"I don't want it."

Quickly and quietly declined.

"What? Flax falls?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled maliciously.

At this time, the clerk has already packed it.

He directly took the necklace wrapped by the clerk, and went out the door amidst the clerk's gift.

After the two left for a while, another customer came to the door.

The customer pointed to the counter and said: "Your business is very good today, all the jewelry is sold out."

The clerk looked down, and suddenly let out a miserable howl: "Ah... who stole my jewelry!"

That's the trick.

　Don't worry about the grades, I'm caught off guard by the rise too fast, haha.
