mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 183 ABCD, big green clothes

Seeing many people's attention, Zhao Chuanxin pushed Liu Jiahui: "Let's go, let's all go into the room and talk."

Now is not the time to show off.

After entering the room, Gao Li raised his chin towards Li Zhitao and the others: "Payment, who are these people?"

Goryeo is very sensitive to the typical rough atmosphere of Hong Kong Island.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still doing charity, he would have thought of killing the provocative Lian Xinsheng.

Goryeo's old lady was slaughtered by gangsters, and he didn't mind raising the butcher's knife against any similar forces, just like killing gangsters outside the pass, he would always be in the first row.

Deep hatred!

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Li Zhitao: "This is Taotao."

puff……

Both Liu Jiahui and Gao Li couldn't help laughing.

Li Zhitao's face flushed habitually.

After introducing these people, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "How is the charity doing? I think that although there are still ruins, the market seems to have restored order."

Nodding, Liu Jiahui said: "The typhoon only blew for four hours that day, but 5000 people were killed and countless injured. What's interesting is that only more than 20 British people died."

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth.

"What?"

"Because their European-style buildings are solid, the doors and windows will be damaged at most during wind disasters, and the nobles live on the top of the mountain! The poor can only live in wooden houses by the sea, and more people live in boat houses."

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that there was a group of loyal dogs later, it seemed that they had been domesticated since then, and gradually got used to the status of inferior people.In the past, they shouted "Hong Kong and Britain must be defeated", but later they began to shout "U.S. troops landed", and it was a two-handed force!
What Zhao Chuanxin saw today was not the beautiful world described by those "independence".

He saw the foreigner take the cane and pull out shocking bruises on the coolie's back.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined how difficult the lives of the people at the bottom of Hong Kong Island are at this time.

Suddenly, he didn't want to make life easier for these Hong Kong heroes.

Rarely, he put away his smiling face and waved to Li Zhitao: "You go out first."

Now Li Zhitao is completely convinced.

What kind of face does not have face, what face can my big vat peach have in front of Zhao Sheng!
After going out, Toad Boy asked eagerly, "Brother, who exactly is Zhao Sheng?"

"Rich guy!"

Blowing Water Ju was very excited: "Well, if you mess with Zhao Sheng, you can get ahead!"

And Li Zhitao knows what a shit, he has no idea at all.

I could only hold my strong arms, and my cheeks jumped, and the old god said, "Do you want to talk about it?"

In the room.

Without the outsider, Zhao Chuanxin said what was in his heart: "Where is the precious?"

Gao Li said: "I have returned to the mainland. After the disaster on Hong Kong Island, the mainland continued to rain heavily. The disaster is not as serious as here, but this winter is hard to endure."

Liu Jiahui added: "We buy food from Southeast Asia, which is not enough to support cross-strait relief.

The food you brought back from Japan has solved the urgent need. "

Zhao Chuanxin remembers that because of successive years of famine, uprisings occurred from time to time in various parts of the country, and the Qing court was devastated.

I don't know whether the actions of the Lugang Town Charity Association will delay the pace of overthrowing the Qing court.

If they were allowed to linger on for another year or two, what would happen?
Thinking of these intricate relationships, Zhao Chuanxin's eyes darkened.

It’s not good to do it, it’s not good to not do it, it’s so hard to live!

Liu Jiahui joked again: "The Buddha in the capital also donated [-] oceans for disaster relief, and [-] was allocated to Hong Kong Island. How much can come down is unknown."

The financial resources paid by the charity are more than ten times that of the old woman.

Corrupt officials at the moment, regardless of whether it is disaster relief funds or other things, those who can corrupt ink will never show mercy.

In fact, Jiang and Song later did not do this less.

Even the planes used to protect the home and defend the country have to play tricks and cut corners.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Leave them alone.

I have some ideas, what do you think about the development of electricity and shipping on Hong Kong Island? "

This made Liu Jiahui startled: "Who knows?"

"If you don't understand, learn slowly."

Gao Li had a half-smile: "You learn?"

Immediately, Zhao Chuanxin felt terrified: "Gao Li, you are confused, I am busy with all kinds of affairs, how can I have time to learn?"

The three stared wide-eyed.

Knowing that Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes and was talking nonsense, he was so busy.His brows are scorched, he won't be in a hurry, every day he is so idle.

But asking him to deal with these is purely whimsical.

Gao Li was uncertain: "Precious?"

Liu Jiahui shook her head immediately: "He is happy to let him show off. Does he not have the brains to know such a profound thing?"

Hearing the word "mind", Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up.

"Let Li Guangzong do this matter!"

There is no objection to this.

Who is the most aggressive in Lugang Town?Who has the brightest brain?

Li Guangzong must belong to him.

Li Guangzong is a recognized model worker in the Lugang Town Public Security Bureau, known as the "Gregorian Calendar".

How many days are on the Gregorian calendar card, how many days does he work, and he is not idle during the Chinese New Year!

After confirming the candidate, Liu Jiahui shook her head again: "The situation on Hong Kong Island is more complicated. The British didn't even think about developing Hong Kong Island's economy at first. Although it is much better now, discrimination and exploitation of the bottom Chinese still exist. We participate in shipping Can they agree to build a power station?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Zhao Chuanxin pondered: "Give them money, buy land, and rent a port. If it doesn't work, we can build a port ourselves. It's not only Victoria Harbor that can stop ships."

Liu Jiahui took out the account book: "This is a lot of money, right?
We spent a lot on disaster relief this time, how much more can you spend? "

Speaking of this, Zhao Chuanxin scratched his itch: "Hehe, I, Zhao Chuanxin, went out to fight, and there was no grass growing! Withdrawing money from the bank, there is no needle and thread left!
Give Li Guangzong Japanese silver dollars, and I will go to raise pounds. "

Liu Jiahui, who has been staying in Lugang Town, doesn't know why.

But Gao Li understood.

He followed Zhao Chuanxin and laughed.

"Did you go to Japan to withdraw money?"

"Small test, not worth mentioning, low-key! Low-key!"

Gao Li said: "But it is not cost-effective to withdraw money on Hong Kong Island at present."

"How to say?"

Gao Li said: "Hong Kong Island was severely affected by the disaster. The damaged ships, houses and other buildings, plus miscellaneous losses, are estimated to be 2000 to 3000 million yuan. Now the post-disaster reconstruction is a waste of money. And the foreign firms on Pedder Street also suffered heavy losses. , so I guess I don't have much cash in the bank."

Patting his pocket, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Don't be afraid, I have enough ammunition. Let them save money for me first, and it will be the same when I come back."

And Liu Jiahui's eyes widened.

She seemed to understand something.

Some people have always doubted that Lugang Town does not collect taxes, and Zhao Chuanxin's ability to make money from the business in Lugang Town is also very limited. The money from a few slaps may not be enough to pave a section of stone road.

So where did his money come from?

After listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Jiahui understood.

Really withdraw money!

She also thought about it, it seems that she read the newspaper a few days ago, saying that the postal savings in Kobe, Japan and several foreign banks were robbed, and the loss was as high as tens of millions!
The gangster who had committed crimes in many places reappeared and went to Japan to work.

hiss……

No blade of grass grows, no needles and threads are left behind!

But she didn't say it out loud, as long as she knew it in her heart.

She pouted towards the door: "What's the matter with your followers?"

"Those are dreamers who haven't been beaten by the society." Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "Li Guangzong came to Hong Kong Island, he must have some force in his hands. I plan to arm a team for him to drive!"

Gao Li said disdainfully: "These shrimp soldiers and crab generals are useless."

Lugang Town is fighting a war, while the halls of Hong Kong Island are like a play house in Korea's eyes, with swords and sticks fighting each other, and a random Madsen can wipe out a large area.

However, due to soil and water or climate reasons, the southerners are slightly inferior to the northerners.

Let's just say that Zhao Chuanxin and Li Zhitao stood together, a bit like Dianwei bullying Luban No. [-].

Gao Li saw it, and naturally dismissed it.

But Zhao Chuanxin is quite middle-aged and elderly, and he has no desires and desires.

Moreover, the combat power of the southerners should not be underestimated. Grandpa Qi recruited soldiers from the southerners back then, and they were able to fight very well!
He smiled and blinked: "Give it a chance, after all, we Taotao also want face.

I took him back to Lugang Town to study for two months, and when he came back, he became the second Zhongnanhai bodyguard. "

Hearing the word "Taotao", Liu Jiahui couldn't help but burst into laughter again: "Captain Zhao, you are really narrow-minded, why did you give him such a nickname? I saw him blushing."

"Wait and see, the word Taotao will surely resound throughout Xiangjiang!"

Zhao Chuanxin said solemnly.

There's nothing wrong with him here.

Just like in Lugang Town, Zhao Chuanxin set the policy and paid for it, and let others implement it.

out the door.

On the wall outside, someone posted a mirror, probably to please Liu Jiahui, after all, women love beauty.

Blowing Water Ju flicked his chicken coop hair in front of the mirror, and blew the bangs on his forehead.

Zhao Chuanxin kicked him: "Give up, you can't beat me in terms of beauty.

Taotao, you guys pack up and go north with me for special training. "

Blowing Water Horse: "..."

Li Zhitao: "..."

Toad Boy lowered his head and said, "Sheng Zhao, we have nothing to clean up."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "That's right, if you are so poor, you only have the dream of being a gangster. Then come with me directly, and I will ask someone to buy a boat ticket."

Dadong said in a low voice, "Sheng Zhao, it's raining outside."

Sure enough, it began to rain.

But the long queue outside did not intend to disperse, they were reluctant to eat three meals a day.

Now that he decided to go north and go home, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Pippi shrimps, let's go and see what other delicacies are available, this light rain can't stop a foodie! .

By the way, I went to the strong man to loosen the bones at night, the technique is really good!
Taotao, tell me, where is there food? "

Li Zhitao blurted out without hesitation: "Temple Street Beef Offal, Whampoa Burger, Taiping Street Fire Duck Wing..."

Toad Boy, Fat Qiang, Dadong, and Chuishuiju were most afraid of Li Zhitao's announcement of the name of the dish, and their stomachs started to growl before it was lunch time.

Zhao Chuanxin, who is somewhat post-modern and has difficulty in choosing, almost wants to run to give Daguantao a thumbs up.

It can be called a humanoid ordering machine.

"Your memory, in my impression, is comparable to only one person, and you will deal with him soon." Zhao Chuanxin sighed. "Back then, I wanted to learn from you to use the name of the dish to exercise memory, so how many detours would be avoided!"

Really, with such a memory, it's useless to take a research exam.

Southerners, the brain is aura.

And Li Zhitao was stunned.

Hong Kong Island, which was born as a fishing village, has stripped off the modernization behind it, and now it can only be described as "elegant".

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to visit the scenery, but he also found it boring. Its prosperity is not as good as Shanghai and Hangzhou, and its mountains and rivers are not as good as those outside the pass.

Wellington Street is still lively.

According to Li Zhitao, there is a well-known restaurant here, which is famous for its roast goose and Yunwu pork with pine nuts. It is paired with a plate of freshly cooked lo mein, which can be swallowed by the tongue.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin came here, he was stopped by several policemen.

They wore green clothes, bamboo hats, and a "D" on their uniforms.

D means they are Chinese, A is a British policeman, B is a policeman transferred from other colonies, C is a local or Guangdong policeman, and D is a Weihai native. There is an allusion to this.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the British recruited a group of people in Weihai, Shandong to form the Huayong Battalion.The average height of this group of people was over 170, which was considered burly at the time.

The Huayong Battalion has a size of 1200 people, and it fought extremely bravely. It made great efforts when attacking Tianjin and the capital. After the war, the Eight-Power Allied Forces held a military parade in the Forbidden City to show off their force. Invitation to the coronation of King Edward VII.

These people not only invaded the Forbidden City, but even killed dozens or hundreds of villagers in Shandong.This was met with hatred from his hometown, and it is estimated that he would die if he left the British army.

People these days are not vegetarians either.

It is said that foreigners are afraid of the common people, the common people are afraid of the Qing court, and the Qing court is afraid of foreigners, but this is not just talk.

As a last resort, under the arrangement of the British, the soldiers of the Huayong Battalion left their homes and went to South Africa, Hong Kong Island and other colonies, as well as the British Concession in China to serve as policemen.

They are marked with "D" on Hong Kong Island.

ABCD, green clothes with big heads.If you can't catch anyone, blow the BB (whistle).

It's the police right now.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin and others arrived at Wellington Street, they were stopped by policemen marked with "D".

The British took the lead, and the rest were Chinese.

"Stop, you have to be searched when you enter here!"

A policeman reached out and pushed Zhao Chuanxin.

no push...

Oh, Zhao Chuanxin laughed angrily.

"Damn it, why didn't you search your body when the Indian girl next to me went in?"

Li Zhitao and the others behind Zhao Chuanxin tensed up.

Zhao Sheng is Zhao Sheng, not even afraid of the police!
But they are afraid.

They don't understand, it's just a body search, let them search it, why is Zhao Sheng angry?

Seeing that he didn't push Zhao Chuanxin, and was contradicted by words, the big soldier immediately became angry from embarrassment.

He sternly said, "On Albert Road is the Governor's Mansion. Chinese people must be searched inside to prevent thieves!"

"Being a dog to a foreigner gives you a sense of superiority? What level of citizenship is it now? Second? Third?"

When he is calm, Zhao Chuanxin is a happy middle-aged man.

It would be a different matter if he blew up, and it would be considered merciful for him to make sarcastic remarks!
The same is the police, the treatment of the Chinese police and the foreign police is completely different, and they can barely get enough food and clothing, even if they are from the Huayong camp.

Different salaries for the same work are not uncommon in Hong Kong Island, and are common in all walks of life.

Therefore, the policeman was extremely ashamed and annoyed after hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words.

On Hong Kong Island, the Chinese police are not allowed to carry guns. This man held a baton in his hand and threw it at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin, who had never practiced martial arts, had no choice but to raise his arms to resist.

I was careless and didn't flash.

　Work hard, brothers, I don't have many manuscripts, I will post them all in one go today.
