mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 46 I can't agree
It was completely cold.

The biting northwestern wind shaved his face like a knife, and it made his face red from the cold in a moment.

The reclining chair is no longer outside the house, and Zhao Chuanxin is more likely to sit on the office chair and write and draw.

He needs help designing home renovations for members of the insurance team.A qualified superior should care about the basic necessities of his subordinates.

After drawing the blueprint of Shuangxi's house, Zhao Chuanxin stretched his waist.

Then, continue to draw the down jacket drawings.

A lot of goose down has been harvested, so it is not a problem for him to make a down jacket for himself.

Just as he was about to start writing, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Zhao Hongzhi pushed the door open and entered with a chilly air.

"Uncle, there is an official from outside the village looking for you."

Zhao Chuanxin was very surprised.

He put on a vest, a suit, a woolen overcoat, and a gentleman's fedora before going out.

Chengming looked at the barking dog in the dry grass not far away, and the strong man with a gun in front of him, and showed a meaningful smile.

He didn't expect that he would be forcibly blocked even after revealing his identity.

It seems that the magistrate is right, but this village doesn't take the imperial court seriously.

It is true to say that there is lawlessness.

Then, he saw a group of people coming on horseback.

The clothes of these people are highly uniform and look better than those worn by foreigners.

Shirts, vests, suits, coats, trousers, but shoes are not uniform.

They were all riding horses, full of energy, with rifles on their backs and axes on their waists, looking very sturdy.

Zhao Chuanxin got off his horse, and Da Yasu who was beside him hurriedly led the horse.

After looking at this so-called "official officer", he looked like a dog, as if that was the case.

There are more than 20 followers behind him, all carrying guns.But the appearance is much more shabby.

I didn't see those wolf cubs behind me, their proud chins almost lifted to the sky.

"I am Zhao Chuanxin, I wonder which Shangguan is in person?"

Cheng Ming looked at the men behind him who were facing the enemy, and waved them to put away their guns.Then he got off his horse and took two steps forward.

"My name is Chengming, and I am the infantry commander of the state government."

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "From the state government? Come to pay the bounty, or do you want to arrest me?"

Chengming pretended to be surprised: "Why do you want to arrest you? The visitor is a guest, why don't you invite me to sit down?"

It's quite familiar.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Okay, then please."

All of one party rides on horseback, while the other party only takes the lead on horseback, while the rest trot along.

Before returning home, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the tense soldiers of the Qing court, and said to the members of the insurance team: "Half of the vigilance, half of the training!"

Chengming was invited into the house, but his subordinates still wanted to follow.

Zhao Chuanxin stared: "It's such a big house, what are you doing here? Get out!"

Cheng Ming was taken aback, obviously he did not expect the person in front of him to be so bold.

Just when he was about to have an attack, Cheng Ming waved his hand: "Let's wait outside first."

As soon as you enter the house, you can see a very different traditional style of decoration.

Although unconventional, but really bright and warm.

Seeing that there was no bed, Cheng Ming chattered homely and asked, "Is this your office?"

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "This is my home. If you have a small family and a small business, how can you have free time to work as an office?"

Cheng Ming was a little surprised.

Those locks are very particular about the layout, even if they are broken, they must be big, and they have to hang couplets or something to show their identity as a green forest.

Although the house looks exquisite, it is also too small.

Maybe ordinary people's homes are bigger than this.

The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated. If you want to build a house, there are plenty of places.

Sitting down, Cheng Ming took a look at the gleaming floor, and not far away was lying on the small bed, and thought that this person is really weird, he let the dog live in the house, and even made a bed for him, and there was a bedding on the bed...

"Captain Zhao, seeing that everything here is different from other places, you seem to like Western culture?"

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "That's not true. It's important to eat comfortably, wear comfortably, and live comfortably. Whether it's Western or Chinese?"

Sunlight spills into the house through the bright windows, and the burning fireplace adds a bit of warmth.

Really enjoy it.

Maybe this is called life?
Chengming looked out of the window not far away through the glass again. A group of people charged with bayonets and practiced assassination fiercely at the straw man.

It didn't count if the dagger was used, so he took out an ax from his waist and chopped it.

Grass clippings fell from the straw man's body.

Cheng Ming narrowed his eyes.

The people here are more fierce than all the gangsters and officers and soldiers he has ever seen.

Perhaps only the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia have such a fierce spirit!
"Captain Zhao, this method of training soldiers is also a Western method?"

"No. This is a training method I figured out. Nothing else, just carry a gun and an axe, and you're done. Anyone who refuses to accept it will be killed. Whoever wants to kill me or arrest me, then do it!"

Cheng Ming: "..."

Who are you trying to piss off?

He took the tea with a smile, took a sip, let out a cold breath, and said, "Perhaps, you have misunderstood. I am not here to arrest you."

"Oh..." Zhao Chuanxin seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and then his face revealed a look of hope: "Then you are here to pay the bounty? Tell me, how much can you give for a small gold-shaped head? The old magistrate I searched very hard, and the iron cock was so good that we did such a great thing. If things go on like this, who else is willing to contribute to the court and think about the national economy and the people's livelihood? Hey, sometimes I worry about the country and the people like this, and I hope you Do not mind."

Chengming took his second sip of tea, but he couldn't spit it out.

After coughing for a long time, he covered his mouth and said, "The past two years have been full of wars, the treasury is empty, and even the barracks haven't paid their salaries for three months. There is really no money to come out."

"Ah?" Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth wide: "Then why are you here? A verbal reward?"

Chengming felt that it was difficult to resist, so he quickly changed the subject: "Captain Zhao is so talented, why doesn't he contribute to the country? If you want to be an official, maybe I can help you a little bit."

This son is too difficult!

Zhao Chuanxin took a deep breath and took a sip of tea.

"You can't even pay the salary, and you still let me work for the country? What kind of force do you want?"

Chengming raised his cup and drank tea again, trying to hide his powerlessness.

"You can't say that. No one has died in life since ancient times. Keep your loyalty to reflect the history. The heart of patriotism should not be compared blindly with money."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the members of the insurance team who were training outside, and said to him: "Look at those people, do their clothes look good? Let me tell you, they are all made of wool, very warm. They wear five layers, one layer It's a thermal vest, one layer is a shirt, one layer is a vest, one layer is a suit, and one layer is a coat. Do you know what that means? It means money! Do you think they are big and round now? Let me tell you, a Half a month ago, they were still skinny. In one and a half months, the most gained twenty catties, and the few gained ten catties. They all came from eating meat. May as well tell you our record. There are rumors outside that we killed Retired Xiao Jinzi'er's gang, and went directly to Xiaolongzhao Mountain to exterminate them for the second time. However, they didn't know that we had wiped out Ma Huzi twice before.

A total of four fights were fought, dozens of gangsters were wiped out, and there were zero casualties!
Do you know why they are so desperate?
Hehe, come on, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you tell me what is patriotism? "

Cheng Ming is not calm anymore.

In four firefights, dozens of people were wiped out, and no one was injured?
What kind of record is this?
If I have such a team of people in my hand, I will kill all the small gold characters and big gold characters!
Hearing this, Cheng Ming smiled wryly: "Meng Lang is gone. We can't learn from such a team that was built with money."

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it, if this person is capable, it would be a good thing for the common people.

He didn’t even need to cherish himself, and said: “Do you think that I give money first, and then let them work hard? It’s not like that. They are very poor, and they have only one life left. I told them, if you follow me, you will get money if you work hard. Then, each of them forgot to die. As a result, the less afraid of death, the less likely to die. What about money? Earn it standing up. The money they earn with their lives, they can’t earn the land they have planted for many years. So, they Earn once and think about the next time.

You see, I am a pleasure-seeking person myself.I don't want to work hard.Therefore, they kept chattering in my ears every day, asking me to suppress the bandits.

They don't have the heart of patriotism, they have the heart of love for money. "

Speechless for a while.

Chengming finally smiled wryly: "I'm afraid, even if I lead them to suppress the bandits, the money will not be in their hands. They will not believe that I can make them rich. However, I hope that if the country is in trouble in the future, you ..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "I don't agree! If the people are in trouble, I will help them if I can. If the Qing Dynasty is in trouble, then let the Qing Dynasty perish."

Cheng Ming had been very polite when he came in, but now he suddenly stood up.

He is also a bannerman, and he was born in the general family. His ancestors followed Nurhachi to expand the territory.

Naturally, I can't listen to such disrespectful words.

"Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"The misfortune of fart comes from the mouth. Don't say I didn't do anything, even if I did it and raised the flag to rebel, do you think the soldiers and horses of the Qing court can come to the three eastern provinces? If they could fight over, Tsarist Russia would have been kicked out a long time ago." Let's go. What are you pretending to be like with me here?"

"you……"

Chengming is a person who doesn't like to show his face, but at this moment, the uncontrollable anger surges up in his heart, and his murderous intention gradually rises.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Oh my god, you can rest quickly. There are too many people who want to kill me, so don't make a mess with me.

I'll just leave the words here, rebellion or something, I'm not interested.I don't have much free time to contribute to your Qing Dynasty, so I can do what I should do.But please don't mess with me.If you mess with me, I'll kill him.

There are plenty of horse beards on the mountain, if you have the ability, you can compete with them.Dare to yell at me here, isn't it because we are good citizens?But you are wrong, these good people are a pack of wolves when they throw down their hoes.

Finally, I will tell you a person, and you must know it too.That person's name is Yang Yushu, and this person is the person you should get rid of most quickly.Without him, many gangsters would have no backing. "
