mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 519 Appealing to Mr. Zhao

"How did it get away?"

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said: "The great white shark eats seals, dolphins and big fish, and rarely attacks people. Humans are not in its diet. It's like the first time you eat barnacles, you will hesitate and fear, and instinctively retreat .I guess it has bad eyesight. At first it thought we were food, but when it ran over and saw that we were not seals, it ran away."

This may be the real reason.

In any case, the crisis is resolved.

Miao Cuihua had lingering fears, and felt dumbfounded. She said, "I never thought that the bottom of the sea can be colorful and full of flowers."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Corals are not plants, nor are sea anemones, they are animals."

Miao Cuihua was surprised and said, "I see they grow on the soil in the sea."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't explain either.

Miao Cuihua said with emotion: "Looking at the world under the sea, this life is not in vain."

Zhao Chuanxin said proudly: "Practice your balance well, as long as you live long enough, maybe I will take you into space to see in the future?"

Miao Cuihua asked in surprise, "Go to the moon to see Chang'e?"

"Sister Hua, there is no Chang'e."

"There must be osmanthus."

"It's just a pit, a real pit."

"..." Miao Cuihua looked at him fixedly: "There is nothing, what am I going to do on the moon?"

What he said made sense, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't refute it, and finally had to say: "Maybe there are aliens. Human mages represent Zhao Chuanxin to fight against high-tech aliens. Isn't it interesting?"

He always felt that the Predator had to kneel when he saw him.

After all, even a little girl from a primitive tribe can kill it.

……

domestic.

British Fu, a leather bag company, encountered a joint resistance from the gentry and the people of Zezhou Prefecture, Shanxi, preventing him from opening a mine.

A group of students took to the streets to march, holding banners, and writing a letter—resisting British occupation of coal and iron mines in Shanxi by Ford.

Later, civilians gradually joined in, and the momentum became more and more intense.

If there were some demonstrations against the Qing court, they would have been suppressed long ago.

However, it is the unanimous voice of the Shanxi government and the people to resist the British Fu company. After all, it involves the livelihood of thousands of households.

Shanxi produces coal!
Trains burn coal, ships also burn coal, coal is used for power generation, and coal is used in factories. The price of coal is rising day by day. It is no longer the era when everyone used charcoal and the price of coal was so low that no one used it.

How did British Fu develop in China?
At the beginning of 1898, the British Fu Company sent representatives to China. Through Ma Jianzhong, Li Hongzhang’s confidant and aide, in the name of the hypothetical Yufeng Company borrowing 1000 million taels of silver from Fu Company, with the approval of the Qing government, they obtained the mines in the mountains north of the Yellow River. Mining rights.

Many officials in the late Qing Dynasty felt that they were awesome, they all claimed to be noble, and many people made them famous, even in the 21st century.

Such as Li Hongzhang, such as Zeng Guofan, especially Zeng Guofan.

What kind of decent person can write a diary?

In the diary, he was almost a saint. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would have to examine himself three times when he got home, which is fucking nonsense.

These people are not only saints, but also have a lot of problems.

For example, Li Hongzhang, his staff dared to make a private sale of 1000 million taels of land?

It sold out anyway, and British Fu began to perform.

No, they are going to open a mine in Zezhou Prefecture, Shanxi.

Of course not.But the main reason is not that the local people know how important minerals are to a country, nor do they know the impact of coal resources on the future.It is mainly about self-interest.

Even Yuan Datou supported this matter.

However, there is a problem. The "Shanxi Stock" announced by British Fu is worth more than one million pounds.They have empty hands and white wolves, and their left hand is right handed. There is still an inside story of 1000 million taels of silver.

If you want to regain the mining rights, you have to spend money!

People and students don't care about these, they just shout slogans.

"Hu hired and betrayed the country, it should be dealt with by the law."

"Seize the Shanxi Mining Bureau!"

"Abolish the "Shanxi Mining and Iron Manufacturing Regulations and Transshipment of Various Minerals"!"

The governor of Shanxi at the time was Hu Pin. Of course he was not the one who made the decision to sell the mines, but in order to cover up his traitorous behavior and calm down the incident, he established the Shanxi Mining Bureau.

The Shanxi Mining Bureau sold the country even more thoroughly, and signed the "Shanxi Mining and Iron Manufacturing and Transshipment of Various Minerals Regulations", which stipulates that foreigners in Shanxi's borders, mining is not subject to geographical restrictions, for a period of 60 years.

Hu Pin is no longer the governor of Shanxi at this time, but the Shanxi Mining Bureau is still there.

This contract has existed for a long time, why did it take until today to make trouble?
Because the British Fu company began to draw maps in various mining areas in Shanxi, planted flags to occupy the land, and banned civilian mines.

This cut off the livelihood of the local people.

In a fit of rage, the common people in Shanxi submitted a written statement to the Qing court.

The Mineral Protection Movement started in 1905, and received support from SX provinces, business circles, academic circles, political circles and overseas students.The British Fu company dragged on for two years and faced tremendous pressure. Finally, this year, in desperation, it proposed by means of blackmail that Shanxi must hand over 1000 million taels of silver before the British will hand over the mining rights.

In fact, the 1000 million taels is just British Fu's left hand and right hand.

At the beginning, they bribed Hu Pin, the governor of Shanxi, through Li Hongzhang's staff, and then they borrowed 1000 million taels from the British Fu Company, and Liu E and Fang Xiaojie opened Shanxi's "Jinfeng Company" in front of them.

Inside and outside, the money still belongs to British Fu, and the company is also in their hands.

Now, they want Shanxi people to redeem 1000 million taels of silver.

At this time, Baofen, the new governor of Shanxi, sent his staff and soldiers to maintain order.

The staff stopped the parade and said loudly: "Gentlemen and citizens, just listen to the next thing."

A student frowned and said in a bad tone, "Are you here to stop me from waiting?"

"No." The staff member stroked his goatee: "I'm here to analyze the situation for you."

"Okay, let's talk about it."

The aides are confident: "Right now, the mining rights are in the hands of British Fu. If you want to regain them, you have to pay 1000 million taels of silver. There is a contract in black and white, and no one can deny it. Everyone marches, why not join together and collect 1000 million taels of silver."

The student blushed when he heard this: "It's nonsense, who knows if the British bought the mining rights with 1000 million taels of silver? Besides, we are poor, how can we get money?"

The staff stood with their hands behind their backs: "Leading by the gentry, everyone has a share in the same boat, so what's the problem even if there are hundreds of millions of silver? Don't we Shanxi merchants have no silver?"

Shanxi merchants are too famous.

How did the Bannerman break into the Central Plains?The relationship with them has grown.

Rich as hell.

A group of gentry bowed their heads in silence.

Mountain wealth is hard to give up.

The corner of the staff's mouth twitched into a sneer: "I want to teach you all that shouting slogans is useless. If you want to, you may as well collect money. After all, real gold and silver are what you need to regain the mining rights. Robbery is not feasible. Don't you hear that the British Is it called the sun never sets?”

The common people were numb, the gentry sighed, and the young and energetic students were red-faced, anxious, and helpless.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Mr. Zhao is rich, we all appeal to Mr. Zhao for help. He is patriotic, so he will definitely not stand idly by."

"Which Mr. Zhao?"

"God of War Zhao Chuanxin! I read the newspaper, he earned 5000 million dollars overseas."

"Yes, call on Mr. Zhao to take action, see if the British dare to be arrogant?"

The staff were dumbfounded.

Zhao Chuanxin?
If that daring bastard came to Shanxi, wouldn't Shanxi be turned upside down?

Can he spend this big money?
The staff member immediately saw sweat on his forehead, turned his head and left.

This matter must be reported immediately.

……

After Zhao Chuanxin took Miao Cuihua to dive, Miao Cuihua came back and happily described the wonderful underwater world, making everyone want to go down and have a look.

But Zhao Chuanxin refused.

Nonsense, isn't it good to lie down and nourish your body with that kind of kung fu?

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin opened the "Old God Code".

[After a day in the sun and a night of rest, I regained some strength. 】

[The fog has been blown away by the wind. 】

[Some people died from the biological remnants, the Styx elves died, and three war wounded corpses were left behind. 】

[The rest disappeared and disappeared. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

【I will cut off the skin of the wound of war. 】

Three Heads of War Creation, how many bulletproof vests can this make?

He used the "key" to send these leathers over and asked Jiang Bo to clean them up.

Jiang Bo looked at the blood-red leather: "This...is this the kind of leather you used to make the Fortitude Armor? Is this a rhinoceros? Rhinoceros leather can't be bulletproof."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes narrowed: "Don't talk nonsense, you do things for me, which is equivalent to cosmic career compilation. It is so reliable that you will not worry about your livelihood in this life, and you will do more and talk less in the future."

Jiang Bo laughed, took the leather bag and went out to tidy up.

[I took my brother and sister and prepared to rush back. 】

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

【I want to go back to the dilapidated house where I found the notes, and continue to look for the test tube that the goblin wants. 】

He is going to complete the two tasks at the same time.

"I" started the boring journey again, recovering my strength.

It's not that Zhao Chuanxin is ruthless, the key is that "I" and my brothers and sisters are not safe as long as they are in the bloody wasteland, and even craters can encounter biological remnants. It is not safe to go anywhere, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Close the Codex of the Old Gods.

He saw Benjamin Goldberg running up to the deck with a ecstasy lamp in his hand, his face full of excitement.

"Master, I discovered something remarkable."

"You finally found out that you are the child your parents picked up from the garbage dump?"

"..." Benjamin Goldberg said suspiciously, "This can't be done, my father and I look very similar, both are so handsome."

"Bah!" Zhao Chuanxin spat: "In front of me, do you have the courage to mention the word handsome?"

Benjamin Goldberg waved his hand: "It doesn't matter whether it was born or picked up, Master, guess what I extracted with the enchanted lamp this time? You will never think of it!"

Zhao Chuanxin bothered others to play tricks on him: "If you fart, let it go, otherwise I will let you know why it hurts so much when you are slapped."

"Okay." Benjamin Goldberg seemed to have lost a lot of fun: "Master, I extracted the glue, guess how I extracted it... Well, well, I extracted the glue from the barnacles."

Zhao Chuanxin pinched his nose: "What's so exciting about this, glue is not unusual."

"This is different." Benjamin Goldberg emphasized: "This glue can even become my weapon."

Zhao Chuanxin got a little excited and sat up straight: "Tell me."
