The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 519 Calling on Mr. Zhao to take action

How did it escape?

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said: Great white sharks eat seals, dolphins and big fish, and rarely attack people. Humans are not in its diet. It's like eating barnacles for the first time. You will hesitate and be afraid, and instinctively shrink back. . I guess it had bad eyesight. At first it thought we were food, but when it came over and took a look, it realized that we were not seals and ran away.

This may be the real reason.

Anyway, the crisis is over.

Miao Cuihua was still frightened and felt that she couldn't laugh or cry. She said: I didn't expect 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 said in surprise: 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 in a lively manner: Practice your balancing skills well. As long as you live long enough, maybe I can take you into space in the future?

Miao Cuihua asked in surprise: Would you like to go to the moon to see Chang'e?

Sister Hua, there is no Chang'e.

There must be a laurel tree.

It's just a trap. It's a trap.

... Miao Cuihua looked at him steadily: There is nothing, why should I go to the moon?

What he said made sense, but Zhao Chuanxin couldn't refute it. In the end, he had to say: Maybe there are aliens. Isn't it interesting for human mages to fight high-tech aliens on behalf of Zhao Chuanxin?

He always felt that the Predator would have to kneel down when he saw him.

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

domestic.

Yingfeng, a leather company, encountered a joint resistance from the gentry and people in Zezhou Prefecture, Shanxi, to prevent it from starting a mine.

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

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

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

But resisting the British Fortune Company is the unanimous voice of Shanxi officials and people. After all, this involves the livelihood of thousands of households.

Shanxi produces coal!

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

How did British Fortune develop in China?

In early 1898, the British Fu Company sent representatives to China. Through Ma Jianzhong, Li Hongzhang's confidant, they obtained the rights to the mines in the mountains north of the Yellow River with the approval of the Qing government in the name of the hypothetical Yufeng Company borrowing 10 million taels of silver from the Fu Company. Mining rights.

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

For example, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, especially Zeng Guofan.

What kind of serious person can write a diary?

In the diary, he almost became a saint. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would have to check himself when he came home, but she was talking nonsense.

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

For example, Li Hongzhang, his staff dared to secretly announce a big land sales business of 10 million taels?

Anyway, it was sold and the British Fu began to perform.

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

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

Even Yuan Datou supports this matter.

However, a problem arises. The Shanxi stocks announced by British Fortune are worth more than one million pounds. They had nothing to show for it, using their left hand as their right hand. There was also an inside story of 10 million taels of silver.

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

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

Hu Pin betrayed the country and should be punished.

Shut down the Shanxi Mining Bureau!

Abolish the Shanxi Regulations on Mining, Ironmaking, and Transshipment of Various Minerals!

The original governor of Shanxi was Hu Pin, and he was certainly not the one who decided to sell the mines. However, in order to cover up his traitorous behavior and calm the troubles, he established the Shanxi Mining Bureau.

The Shanxi Mining Bureau betrayed the country even more thoroughly and signed the Shanxi Regulations on Mining, Ironmaking, and Transshipment of Various Minerals, which stipulates that foreigners can mine within the boundaries of Shanxi without geographical restrictions for a period of 60 years.

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

This contract has existed for a long time, why is it only today that there is no fuss?

Because the British Ford Company began to draw maps in various mining areas in Shanxi, planted flags on the land, and banned private mining.

This cut off the local people's livelihood.

The people of Shanxi were furious and submitted a written petition to the Qing court.

The mine protection movement began in 1905 and received support from SX province, business circles, academic circles, political circles and overseas students. The British Fortune Company delayed for two years and faced huge pressure. Finally this year, in desperation, it proposed in a blackmail way that Shanxi must hand over 10 million taels of silver before Britain would hand over the mining rights.

In fact, these 10 million taels are just the British fortune's left hand and right hand.

At first, through Li Hongzhang's staff, they bribed Shanxi Governor Hu Pin, and then borrowed 10 million taels from the British Fu Company, and Liu E and Fang Xiaojie opened Shanxi's Jinfeng Company.

Internally and externally, the money still belongs to British Fortune, and the company is also in their hands.

Now, they are asking Shanxi people to redeem 10 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 procession and loudly said: Gentlemen and people, please listen to the next words.

One student frowned and said in a bad tone: Are you here to stop me from waiting?

No. The staff member stroked his goatee and said, I'm here to analyze the situation for you.

Okay, let's talk about it.

The staff is confident: Right now, the mining rights are in the hands of the British. If you want to take them back, you have to pay 10 million taels of silver. The contract is written in black and white, and no one can deny it. Everyone marching, why not unite to collect 10 million taels of silver.

After hearing this, the student blushed and said: That's nonsense. Who knows whether the British redeemed the mineral rights for 10 million taels of silver? Besides, how can we get money from such poverty?

The staff stood with their hands behind their hands: With the gentry taking the lead, everyone in the common people has a share and we are in the same boat. What's the problem even if we have hundreds of millions of silver? Don't we Shanxi merchants have no silver?

Shanxi merchants are so famous.

How did the bannermen invade the Central Plains? I have a lot to do with them.

Rich as hell.

A group of gentry bowed their heads and remained silent.

Mountain wealth is hard to give up.

The staff member sneered at the corner of his mouth: I would like to teach you all that it is useless to just shout slogans. If you are serious, you might as well collect money. After all, the only way to regain the mining rights is real money. Taking it by force will not work. Don't you think the British Being 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 and will definitely not stand idly by.

Which Mr. Zhao?

God of War Zhao Chuanxin! I read the newspaper and he made fifty million US dollars overseas.

Yes, call on Mr. Zhao to take action. See if the British guy still dares to be arrogant?

The staff were stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin?

That daring bitch, if he comes to Shanxi, won't Shanxi be turned upside down?

Can he spend such a big sum of money?

The staff member's forehead immediately became sweaty, and he turned around and left.

This matter must be reported immediately.

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

But Zhao Chuanxin refused.

Nonsense, wouldn’t it be nice to spend some time lying down to nourish your body?

The next day, Zhao Chuanxian opened the Old God Code.

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

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

[Some of the biological remnants died, the Styx elves died, and the bodies of the three war creations were left behind. 】

[The rest disappeared and disappeared. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

[I will cut off the skin of the wounds of war. 】

The creation of the Three-Headed War, how many bulletproof vests can this make?

He used the key to transport the skins over and asked Jiang Bo to clean them.

Jiang Bo looked at the bloody and sticky leather: This...is this the kind of leather you use to make your fortitude armor? Is this a rhinoceros? Rhino leather isn't bulletproof either.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes narrowed: Don't talk nonsense. You work for me, which is equivalent to a cosmic business editor. You are so reliable that you won't have to worry about making a living in this life. In the future, you will do more and talk less.

Jiang Bo sneered, took the leather and went out to tidy it up.

[I took my brother and sister with me and prepared to go back. 】

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

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

He was ready to complete both tasks at the same time.

I started the boring journey again to regain my strength.

It's not that Zhao Chuanxin is cruel, the point is that me and my brothers and sisters are not safe as long as we are in the Blood Wasteland. We can even encounter biological remnants in the craters. It is not safe to think about it anywhere, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Close the Codex of the Old Gods.

He saw Benjamin Goldberg running onto the deck, holding the enchantment lamp in his hand, and his face was full of excitement.

Master, I discovered something amazing.

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 true. My father and I look very similar. We are both so handsome.

Bah! Zhao Chuanxin spat: Do you have the courage to mention handsome in front of me?

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

Zhao Chuanxin bothered others to talk to him: If you fart, hurry up, or I will let you know why it hurts so much when you get slapped.

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

Zhao Chuanxin rubbed 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 became more interested and sat up straight: Let's talk about it.
