The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 183 ABCD, big head in green clothes

Seeing that many people were paying attention, Zhao Chuanxin pushed Liu Jiahui: Let's go into the house and talk.

Now is not the time to show off.

After entering the room, Gao Li raised her chin towards Li Zhitao and others: Passing the salary, who are these?

The typical grassy atmosphere of Hong Kong Island, Korea is very sensitive to this.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still doing charity, he would have wanted to go on a killing spree when faced with the provocative Lian Xinsheng.

The old lady of Goryeo was massacred by the bandits. He didn't mind raising the butcher's knife against any similar forces, just like he would always be the first to kill the bandits outside the customs.

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 habitually turned red.

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

Nodding, Liu Jiahui said: The typhoon lasted only four hours that day, but 15,000 people died and countless others were injured. What's interesting is that only more than 20 British people died.

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth.

Why?

Because their European-style buildings are solid, most of the doors and windows are blown out during a storm, and the nobles live on the top of the mountain! The poor can only live in wooden houses on the seaside, and more people live in houseboats.

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that there was a group of loyal dogs later on. It seemed that they had been domesticated since then, and they gradually got used to their status as lower-class people. In the past, they shouted British Hong Kong must be defeated, but later they started shouting U.S. troops are landing, which was a second-guessing gesture!

What Zhao Chuanxin saw today was not the beautiful world described by those independence people.

He saw the foreigners using canes to remove shocking bruises from the coolies' backs.

If you had not seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined how difficult the lives of the people at the bottom of Hong Kong Island were at this time.

Suddenly, he didn't want to make things easier for these Hong Kong British people.

Rarely, he put away his smile and waved his hand towards Li Zhitao: You guys go out first.

Li Zhitao is now completely convinced.

What kind of face is there? How can I, the big vat peach, have any face in front of Zhao Sheng!

After going out, Toad Boy asked eagerly: Brother, who is Zhao Sheng?

Rich man!

Chuishuiju was extremely excited: So, if you hang out with Zhao Sheng, you can get ahead!

But Li Zhitao didn't know anything, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

I could only hold my strong arms, my cheeks twitched, and the old god said earnestly: Do you still want to talk?

inside the house.

Without the outsider, Zhao Chuanxin spoke his mind: Where has the preciousness gone?

Gao Li said: I have returned to the mainland. After the disaster on Hong Kong Island, it rained continuously in the mainland. The damage is not as serious as here, but this winter will be difficult.

Liu Jiahui added: “The grain we purchase from Southeast Asia is not enough to support cross-strait relief.

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

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that due to successive years of famine, uprisings broke out from time to time in various parts of the country, and the Qing court was in dire straits.

I don’t know if the actions of the Lugang Town Charity Association will delay the overthrow of the Qing court.

What would happen if they were allowed to linger for another year or two?

Thinking of these intricate relationships, Zhao Chuanxin's eyes darkened.

It doesn’t matter if you do it, or if you don’t do it, it’s so hard to live!

Liu Jiahui joked again: The Buddha in the capital also spent 100,000 yuan for disaster relief, and 30,000 yuan was allocated to Hong Kong Island. How much will come down is anyone's guess.

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

Nowadays, corrupt officials, regardless of whether it is disaster relief funds or other things, will never show mercy to those who are corrupt.

In fact, Chiang and Song later did this as well.

Even the aircraft used to defend our country have to play tricks and cut corners. Such people cannot be tolerated.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: Don't worry about them.

I have some ideas. What do you think about developing electricity and shipping on Hong Kong Island?

This made Liu Jiahui stunned: Who understands?

If you don't know, just learn slowly.

Gao Li smiled half-heartedly: You learn?

Zhao Chuanxin immediately felt furious: Gao Li, you are confused. I am so busy with so many things to do, how can I have time to study?

The three of them stared at each other.

He knew clearly that Zhao Chuanxin was telling lies, so he was busy. Even if his eyebrows are burning, he won't be in a hurry. He will be so idle every day that it hurts.

But asking him to deal with this is purely whimsical.

Gao Li asked uncertainly: Precious?

Liu Jiahui shook her head immediately: Let him be in the limelight, he is happy. Let him learn such advanced things, doesn't he have the brains to know?

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up when he heard the word brain.

We still have to let Li Guangzong handle this matter!

There is no objection to this.

Who is the most enterprising person in Lugang Town? Who has the brightest mind?

It must be Li Guangzong.

Li Guangzong is a recognized model worker in the Lugang Town Public Security Station and is known as Gregorian Card.

How many days are there on the Gregorian calendar, how many days does he have to work, and he will not be idle during the New Year!

After confirming the candidates, Liu Jiahui shook her head again: The situation on Hong Kong Island is relatively complicated. The British did not want to develop Hong Kong Island's economy at first. Although it is much better now, discrimination and exploitation of the bottom Chinese still exist. We are involved 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 that doesn't work, we can build our own port. It's not just Victoria Port that can dock ships.

Liu Jiahui took out the account book: Isn't this a lot of money?

We have spent a lot of money on this disaster relief, how much can you still spend?

Speaking of this, Zhao Chuanxin was scratched: Haha, I, Zhao Chuanxin, went to war, but not a blade of grass grew! When I withdraw money from the bank, there is no needle or thread left!

Give Li Guangzong a Japanese silver dollar flower, and I'll pick up the pound.

Liu Jiahui, who had been staying in Lugang Town, didn't know why.

But Gao Li understood.

He followed Zhao Chuanxin and laughed.

Did you go to Japan to withdraw money?

It's a small test, it's not worth mentioning, keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!

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

How to say?

Gao Li said: Hong Kong Island was severely affected by the disaster. The damaged boats, houses and other buildings, plus miscellaneous losses, are estimated to be between 20 and 30 million yuan. Now, there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt after the disaster. Moreover, the foreign companies on Pedder Street also suffered heavy losses. , so I guess there isn’t much cash in the bank.”

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

Liu Jiahui's eyes widened.

She seemed to understand something.

Some people have always had doubts. Lugang Town does not collect taxes, and the business Zhao Chuanxin operates in Lugang Town has very limited ability to make money. The money from a few tricks may not be enough to pave a stone road.

So where does his money come from?

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

Really withdraw money!

She thought again that she seemed to have read in the newspaper a few days ago that it was said that the postal savings bank and several foreign banks in Kobe, Japan, had been robbed, and the losses amounted to tens of millions!

The gangster who had committed crimes in many places reappeared and went to Japan to commit crimes.

hiss……

True, not a blade of grass grows, not a needle or thread is left!

But she didn't make it clear, she just knew it in her heart.

She pursed her lips toward the door: What's going on with your followers?

Those are dreamers who have not been severely beaten by society. Zhao Chuanxin said happily: Li Guangzong cannot come to Hong Kong without some force. I plan to arm a team for him to drive!

Gao Li said disdainfully: These few soldiers and generals are useless.

Lugang Town is fighting a war, but in the eyes of Gao Li, the gangsters in Hong Kong Island are just like playing house. They use swords and sticks to fight, and Madson can mow down a large area with just one hit.

Due to water, soil or climate reasons, people in the south are slightly shorter than those in the north.

Let's just say that Zhao Chuanxin and Li Zhitao stand together, which is a bit like Dian Wei bullying Lu Ban No. 7.

Gao Li saw it and naturally looked down upon it.

But Zhao Chuanxin is quite middle-aged and old-aged, with no desires and no demands.

Moreover, the fighting power of the Southerners should not be underestimated. Back then, Grandpa Qi recruited Southerners, who could fight very well!

He smiled and winked: Give me a chance, after all, we Taotao also want to save face.

I took him back to Lugang Town for two months of training, and when he came back he was the second Zhongnanhai bodyguard.

Hearing the word Taotao, Liu Jiahui couldn't help laughing out loud: Captain Zhao, you are so narrow-minded, why did you give someone such a nickname? I saw him blushing.

“We’ll wait and see, the word peach will definitely resound throughout Hong Kong!”

Zhao Chuanxin said firmly.

There's nothing wrong with him here.

Just like in Lugang Town, Zhao Chuanxin set the goals and spent money, and let others implement them.

Out the door.

Someone put a mirror on the wall outside, probably to please Liu Jiahui. After all, women love beauty.

Chuishuiju looked in the mirror and pulled his chicken coop-like hair 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 follow me north for special training.

Chuishuiju: ...

Li Zhitao: ...

Toad Boy lowered his head and said, Sheng Zhao, we have nothing to take care of.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: That's right. If you are so poor, all you have left is your dream of being a gangster. Then just come with me and I'll ask someone to buy the boat ticket.

Dadong said in a loud voice: Sheng Zhao, it's raining outside.

Sure enough, it started to rain.

But the long queue outside showed no intention of leaving, and they were reluctant to part with 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 delicious food there is. This little rain can't stop a foodie!

By the way, I went to see the strong man in the evening to loosen his bones. His technique was really good!

Taotao, tell me, where can we find delicious food?

Li Zhitao blurted out without hesitation: Temple Street beef offal, Huangpu burger, Taiping Street's duck wings...

Toad Boy, Feiqiang, Dadong, and Chui Shuiju were most afraid of Li Zhitao announcing the name of the dish. Their stomachs began to growl before it was time for lunch.

Zhao Chuanxin, who has somewhat of a post-modern difficulty in making choices, just wants to run and give Tao Datantao a thumbs up.

It can be called a humanoid ordering machine.

In my memory, there is only one person who can compare to your memory. You will be dealing with him soon. Zhao Chuanxin sighed. Back then, I wanted to learn from you how to exercise your memory by naming dishes, and you would have avoided many detours!

Really, with such a memory, taking the postgraduate entrance examination is useless.

Southerners have bright minds.

Li Zhitao's face was confused.

Hong Kong Island, which was born as a fishing village, has stripped away the modern construction behind it, and now it can only be described as comedy.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to visit the scenery, but he found it boring. Its prosperity was not as prosperous as the Magic City and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and its mountains and rivers were not as good as those outside the pass.

Wellington Street is quite lively.

According to Li Zhitao, there is a very famous restaurant here, which is famous for its roast goose and pine nut cloud meat. Paired with a plate of freshly cooked noodles, it can be swallowed by the tongue.

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

They were dressed in green, with hats on their heads, and their uniforms were marked D.

D means they are Chinese, A is a British policeman, B is a policeman transferred from other colonies, C is a policeman recruited from the local area or Guangdong Province, 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 Province to form the Huayong Camp. The average height of this group of people was over 170cm, which was considered burly for the time.

The Huayong Battalion had a strength of 1,200 people and fought extremely bravely. It played a great role in attacking Tianjin and Beijing. After the war, the Eight-Power Allied Forces held a grand military parade in the Forbidden City to show off their force. The Huayong Battalion was among them. Invited to attend 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 he would probably 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. 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 police officers.

They are the ones marked D on Hong Kong Island.

ABCD, big head and green clothes. If you can't catch anyone, blow the BB (police whistle) hard.

I'm talking about the police at this moment.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin and others arrived at Wellington Street, they were blocked by police marked D.

The leader was British, and the rest were Chinese.

Stop, you will be searched when you enter here!

A policeman reached out and pushed Zhao Chuanxin.

No push...

Ha, Zhao Chuanxin laughed angrily.

Damn it, why didn't you search the Indian Asan next to you when he came in?

Behind Zhao Chuanxin, Li Zhitao and the others tensed up.

Zhao Sheng is Zhao Sheng, he is not even afraid of the police!

But they are afraid.

They didn't understand. It was just a body search, so they let them search it. Why did Zhao Sheng get angry?

When the big-head soldier saw that Zhao Chuanxin was not promoted and was verbally contradicted, he immediately became angry.

He said sternly: On Albert Road is the Governor's Palace. Chinese people must be searched when entering to prevent thieves!

You treat foreigners as dogs, and you feel superior? What level of citizen are you now? Level 2? Level 3?

When he is calm, Zhao Chuanxin looks like a happy middle-aged and old man.

If he gets angry, that's another matter. If he makes sarcastic remarks, that's already a sign of mercy on his part!

They are both policemen, but Chinese policemen and foreign policemen are treated completely differently. They can barely make ends meet, even if they are from the Huayong camp.

Different pay for the same work is a common phenomenon in Hong Kong and is common in all walks of life.

Therefore, the policeman was particularly embarrassed after hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said.

On Hong Kong Island, Chinese police are not allowed to carry guns. This man was holding a baton in his hand and smashing 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 dodge.

Work harder, brothers. I don’t have many manuscripts saved. If I work hard today, I’ll post them all in one go.
