My hero is myself

He found that he couldn't hate Nalanji's mediocrity, but he felt a little more disgusted with the incompetent Qing court.

The proliferation of foreign smoke can be regarded as intentional by the Qing court.

Life is difficult and the burden on the body is getting heavier, and most people's enthusiasm for work is declining.

Selling foreign cigarettes and making people desire them is actually a powerful means to increase everyone's enthusiasm for work.

As for the hidden dangers caused by the use of foreign cigarettes, in the long run it will lead to a decline in the physical fitness of the entire population, breed crime and other problems...

Now the Qing court is living day by day. Who will care about the flood after I die?

Roland ran a few more jobs and bought rice, noodles and some meat with his wages.

I went to the drug store to grab some cheap medicinal materials.

This body is too weak to even practice cultivation. It needs to be recuperated for a while to make up for the shortcomings.

He deposited his rickshaw at the dealership, only to see a group of rickshaw drivers surrounding a young fox demon asking questions.

"After this semi-demon surgery, your legs will be stronger and you won't feel tired even after running all day!"

Roland stepped forward curiously and realized what this monster clan was selling.

A new technology similar to prosthetic transformation, implanting the developed leg muscles of the locust demon into the human body.

Running speed and endurance will be greatly increased.

There are also stomach pouches that increase physical strength, compound eye modules that increase visual response speed, pigeon sensory cells that never get lost, and so on.

If you want to change careers, there is also a magical arm suitable for being a blacksmith, a microscopic secret eye suitable for repairing watches, and parotid glands that can breathe underwater...

In short, many of the innate magical powers and physiological advantages of the demon race are grafted onto the human race through surgery.

"There is a 30% discount on surgeries this month, and there is also a [-]-year loan service. If you are one step ahead, you will be one step ahead!"

The young fox demon worked hard to sell it, and many cart drivers were moved.

The demon clan beat the Qing court to the point of losing its temper, which is synonymous with power.

The technology they promote naturally has the label of advanced and reliable.

Roland silently left the crowd.

It turns out that half-demon transformation also began to flourish during this time period.

The invasion of the eight-ethnic coalition was not only a military victory, but also a comprehensive victory over the Qing court in terms of vision and technology, and it wanted to cannibalize the human race from all aspects.

He once promoted a standardized form among the demon clan, making the demon clan look as close to the human race as possible.

As a result, the demon clan of Johnson and Johnson has now turned around and allowed human beings to undergo biochemical transformation, turning them into all kinds of strange monsters.

In the future he saw, the promotion of semi-demonization was successful.

Hundreds of years later, humans in each position and industry will look different and have different physiological characteristics...

At that time, the strength of the human race was improved compared to the Qing court, but they could no longer get together to fight against the threat of the monster race.

Because everyone's physiological basis is different, and the differences between them are greater than that of the demon clan, how can they be called human clan?

Coupled with the heavy reliance on the demon clan's force, technology, and other aspects, the human race in the future will become a piece of fat, just a help for Tianming to fulfill his ambitions.

Semi-demonization is a Pandora's box that cannot be closed once opened.

The Qing court was in danger, and there was no way that a small transformation could bring about an increase in productivity.

Ordinary people whose economy is on the verge of collapse cannot refuse the improved quality of life brought by more powerful professional skills.

From the current point of view, this is an advanced technology that has more advantages than disadvantages. Is there any reason to refuse?

With complicated emotions, Roland returned to his courtyard.

Before entering the house, I heard Ma Jia and a group of old ladies denouncing the flag government:

"Those Chinese pigs who eat people's food and don't do anything for others, we will continue to cause trouble next year until they pay up the money they have owed for 20 years!"

These old ladies are also bannermen. They miss the hard days when they were supported by the Qing court, and they immediately resonate with each other:

"Yes, noisy, my great-grandfather shed blood to kill his enemies in order to keep his Aisin Gioro family as the emperor, but now he doesn't recognize him?"

"The emperor is still young, and it's Zhang Hongli who was in college. Every day he says that the banner people have a heavy burden and don't value their use, so our treatment is getting worse and worse..."

"Yes, Zhang Hongli is not worthy of being a bachelor at all. Zhang Hongli, get out of the capital!"

Roland smiled helplessly when he heard this, and quietly pulled his mother down, revealing the snack wrapped in a handkerchief:

"Mom, try it?"

"You kid is wasting money again..."

But smelling the aroma of lard, she still moved her legs and followed Roland back to the house, soothing Jian Zheng's heart.

The discussion of the old ladies outside the door turned into "It's so embarrassing for a boy from the Eight Banners to pull a cart", thus covering up their lemon mentality towards Ma Jiashi...

The ancestors of our family were being filial by not stealing the jewelry from my mother's box to exchange for foreign cigarettes. How do you expect them to buy snacks?

Go to sleep, there is everything in your dreams...

……

……

In the small bungalow lit by candles, Roland showed off his cooking skills.

Simple ingredients, cleverly paired with excellent flavors, remind Ma Jiashi of the past:

"The dishes cooked by the natural chef back then had this taste. Your Ama said this was called returning to nature..."

Roland listened to the old lady's chatter without interrupting, and just served him some food.

This is an old man who is very particular about his life. He once had fine clothes and fine food, but now he lives a life without enough food and clothing.

She complained about the emperor's ungratefulness and the incompetence of the flag government, but she would also take on some weaving and starching work to support her family.

Life was full of hardships, her husband died on the street, she had no continuation, and she still had a newly weaned child. This banner lady also had enough resilience to survive the most difficult days.

Nalanji did not fall completely like the ordinary Eight Banners. Even if he sank to the bottom, he still wanted to save himself with a few flops. This is inseparable from Ma Jia's words and deeds:

They think they deserve their share of the world.

But when you can't get it, you should take action to survive first, instead of just thinking about getting something for nothing.

Now, the strong Ma Jiashi is old, and the coolies really can't do it anymore.

She was still worried about her son's marriage, thinking about getting some dowry from the flag office, renovating the house, and finding a wife for Nalanji.

In the hut, his mother chattered, and the rare warmth made Roland relax.

Regardless of the ups and downs above, ordinary people still live tenaciously and never give up even when they reach a dead end.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Roland imitated Yoshiko's usual tone and persuaded:

"Mother, please don't go to the flag office to cause trouble in the future. The child will treat you well and let you live a good life again."

He added an accent to the word "re" because that was the past that Ma Jiashi was thinking about.

"You've been sensible since you were a kid, but those officials owe us something we can't just let go of so easily."

Ma Jiashi laughed and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from Roland's forehead.

Roland shook his head:

"I don't want to let it go, but people on the street say that the Qing court won't live for a few more days. You can't find anyone to settle the bad debts. If you get too close, you might get blood all over your body."

Ma Jiashi was amused:

"You believe those crazy words, how can there be no emperor in this world..."

"Mother, times will change. Bannermen are no longer masters, iron blocks fly in the sky, and monsters have a higher status than humans. So, it is not impossible that the emperor is gone, right?"

Roland also smiled, and lightly told many facts that Ma Jiashi thought would never happen, but actually existed.

She finally stopped laughing, and her expression was no longer that of casual chat after dinner, but she asked seriously:

"Will the Qing Dynasty really disappear?"

Volume 224: Entering Kyushu for the first time: Chapter [-] Can studying medicine also save Kyushu?

The next day, the car drove.

"Yoshiko, this car is your father's treasure. Do you really want to sell it?"

The middle-aged mature woman smoking a long pipe squinted her eyes and looked at the sturdy young man in front of her in surprise, with a greedy golden light flashing in her eyes.

"I'm going to do some other business. Sister Hu, please help me ask. The price is negotiable."

Roland could make his tone sound a little urgent, creating the appearance of being eager to take action.

"Your car is a regular brand and has been around for a long time. The current market situation... you also know that the superiors and the demon clan are not sure if there will be another war. It's hard for him to do business."

Sister Hu has owned hundreds of cars herself, and she can tell at a glance that this car has been well maintained and will not be a problem for another 20 years.

He didn't look for another buyer, kept the price low, and finally bought the car directly at a price much lower than the market price.

Roland didn't care, he just wanted cash to carry out his plan.

He is not Xiangzi, and he knows that pulling a cart cannot save Jiuzhou.

Whether you are practicing cultivation or going to Japan to find Erxi, you need a good financial foundation in the initial stage.

He is not the empress nor the Prince Yue now. He started as a coachman, and in the early stage he could only do small business suitable for a coachman.

Fortunately, he has seen the opportunity and only a few shareholders are missing.

[You sold the rickshaw and found a few old bannermen who were still wealthy. 】

[You guys jointly opened a half-demon transformation hospital called Nalan Medical Center. 】

[The prices at Nalan Medical Center are more than half cheaper than the regular hospitals of the Demon Clan. 】

[With your excellent craftsmanship, you have become famous in the black market, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment. 】

[You improved many techniques, accepted apprentices and opened the first branch. 】

[The Monster Company is suing you. The Minister of Punishment is your distant uncle, and he settled the matter by bribing you. 】

[Three months later, you moved into your new home with Ma Jiashi. 】

"Yoshiko, it's a pity that your Ama died early, otherwise he would be so happy..."

After walking around the third courtyard and caressing the brand-new furniture, Ma Jiashi burst into tears.

They had grown up in such an environment.

But he didn't want to get worse and worse as he wandered around, and ended up living in a large courtyard.

That was the change of the times. The stable environment of the past few hundred years was blasted away by the artillery fire of the demon clan.

They simply don't understand how the rules set by their ancestors have been destroyed by foreign things in just a few years.

But now, the son has succeeded and made a lot of money, and their glory is back!

Seeing the old lady smiling, Roland also smiled shyly.

Buying a house and land is only [-]% of what he earns.

But the old lady was happy, and she had fulfilled one of Yoshiko's worries. He felt that the expense was worth it.

Ma Jiashi suddenly slapped her forehead:

"By the way, there is a girl of the same age as you in the Yehenala clan. Do you have time to meet her?"

Roland was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

Good guy, urging marriage is really engraved in the DNA of Kyushu people?

This day has just started to get better, and your blind date has been arranged.

"The kids still have business to take care of, and you need to worry more about the family."

Roland had no interest in getting married, so he found an excuse and ran away on the spot.

"Of course I'm interested in my own family... Hey, your kid ran away right now? If you don't like the girl from Yehenala's family, my mother will help you look for her!"

Ma Jiashi watched her son disappear in the blink of an eye, standing with his hands on his hips and yelling at the door, and could only sulk to himself.

Excuses are all excuses. How can there be any business where the boss is so busy every day?
