The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 523: Zhao’s salary is just a piece of cake

Miao Cuihua thought for a while: The food truck gang and their boss probably have that kind of relationship.

Samuel Goldberg inhaled hissingly: By the time we left, the Food Truck Gang was said to have grown to hundreds of people. How many people are there in this organization?

Miao Cuihua heard Liu Jiahui say something about Xuantian Sect.

She thought for a moment: There are a few hundred core members and tens of thousands of peripheral members!

She wasn't talking nonsense.

Xuantian Sect has become a climate in Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Chuanxin became famous in one battle here. He led the adjudication team to kill everyone in the dark, and all the demons and ghosts were frightened.

As the tree grows, there will naturally be countless people who want to enjoy the shade.

Not only is there no shame in working in Xuantian Sect, it is also very prestigious, because Xuantian Sect never touches contraband or does illegal business. He even assisted Governor Luard in banning smoking.

Workers who work in Xuantianzong Industry can hold their heads high when talking about their business in front of their relatives and friends, and behave upright, unlike other Tangkou gangs in Hong Kong who do some sneaky things.

In addition, the Xuantian Sect was rich and had numerous properties. As time went by, the number of gang members and surrounding related personnel increased to tens of thousands.

Even the driver who helps deliver goods has to brag that he is from the Xuantian Sect when he goes outside.

But there are only a few hundred people on the register.

Zhao Chuanxin was talking to Li Zhitao in front.

Later, Benjamin Goldberg asked Miao Cuihua in Chinese: Master, how can you manage so many people?

After hearing this, Chuishuiju next to him suddenly spoke in plain language: Young man, you don't know anything about this. The peripheral horses are not even counted, they are just workers. Our Xuantian Sect pays attention to the roster, and only those who are on the list are regular Member of Xuantian Sect.

Young man, you don’t know how many people are squeezing their heads to enter Xuantian Sect’s annual meeting auditorium?

And among the people registered within the sect, how many of them want to get a quota to go to Lugang Town outside Guan Guan for exchange?

Therefore, as long as the leader gives an order, tens of thousands of people will work together as one, and everyone will compete to achieve meritorious service and rise to the top...

The braggadocio will never change his habit of speaking in plain language and boasting, and he will not let go even a half-year-old boy, and his words will make him spit.

Samuel Goldberg didn't understand and asked his son to translate.

He was speechless: Incredible, this is much more powerful than the food truck gang.

Then Hong Kong Island is not Zhao Chuanxin’s world?

Chui Shuiju continued to talk shamelessly: Today I am putting my words here, if the leader speaks, even Governor Luad will have to give him a lot of face, otherwise I will lead someone to chop off his dog's head...

He spoke and gestured, making a slashing gesture.

The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.

How can I put it, Americans are also good at bragging.

But their bragging may have to be drafted, it may not be that explicit, and it may be in a different form.

Therefore, Samuel Goldberg and others were suspicious of the boaster who boasted about his face without blushing.

As the head of Zhao is a real person, Jinglao asked, How much money does the Xuantian Sect make?

Chuishuiju scratched his head: This... I don't know much about it. Once, I heard from the deputy head that he was almost unable to make ends meet.

Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth wide: What?

He was also thinking that if he showed up like Li Guangzong, he couldn't be without money, right?

He is also planning to find a place to build a laboratory for Nikola Tesla.

How to build it without money?

He suppressed his desire to ask questions and asked again: So, where are He Qi's group? Did they come out and continue dancing?

He Qi, Feng Huachuan and Liu Zhubo are Chinese celebrities in Hong Kong Island, with huge reputations.

Previously, Hei Guren was scared out of his wits by Zhao Chuanxin and gave up the opium business.

The derived benefits or direct beneficiaries of the opium business were He Qi, Feng Huachuan, and Liu Zhubo.

The Governor of Hong Kong Island, Luard, advocated a ban on smoking. There were few British opponents in Hong Kong Island, but Chinese leaders in Hong Kong Island such as He Qi, Feng Huachuan and Liu Zhubo actively opposed it.

Repeatedly jump horizontally.

The smoking ban will cut off their financial opportunities.

This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

Li Zhitao took the cigarette point from Zhao Chuanxin and said, We cooperated with Lu Ya in banning smoking. Once we arrested someone and He Qi came forward to intercede. Naturally, I didn't give him face.

But He Qi found Mr. Sun again, and they were close friends.

But I still didn't let him go. He Qi's face looked ugly.

Occasionally, he would secretly give us a stumbling block, but he never got around to it.

Feng Huachuan was particularly cunning. He opposed the government's imposition of additional water charges and worked hard to solve the problem of side pipe water supply in Chinese buildings.

He is also the chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Business Council, and he is a good hand at buying people's hearts.

He secretly runs the opium business. Every time he is caught by us, he will release an abandoned son to take the blame, which is extremely hateful.

On the contrary, Hei Guren completely gave up the opium business and switched to a more serious job, and he cooperated with us in our work.

The Mr. Sun he was talking about was Sun Gongwu.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: Besides these clowns, is there anything else going on?

The relationship here is complicated, and Zhao Chuanxin is secretly calculating it in his heart.

Li Zhitao said excitedly: Yes, after you left, Master, the deputy master made a decision. He sent people to develop Ao Island.

Zhao Chuanxin said in surprise: Open the door?

It is currently in Portuguese hands.

The deputy head said that Australia Island also belongs to our country, and we need to make arrangements as soon as possible to get it back sooner or later.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his fist: Li Guangzong has something.

Li Zhitao added: However, the deputy head runs Macao Island because it is not peaceful recently. The Japanese appear frequently and often smuggle arms.

Japanese again.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded, and the rest of the preparations were waiting for him to communicate face-to-face with Li Guangzong at the Xuantian Sect headquarters.

After a group of people walked out of the port, they discovered that Hong Kong Island was just a donkey dung egg with a shiny surface.

The port is beautiful, and the buildings on Victoria Peak are also beautiful, but the slums are too shabby.

Looking at it, it is incomparable to New York, which is bustling with traffic.

Sogo Department Store.

At this time, Japanese stores had not yet emerged in large numbers on Hong Kong Island, and the so-called department stores were nothing more than small shops.

A short man wearing a Chinese long coat hurriedly entered Sogo Department Store, came to the counter, and winked at the kimono-clad clerk.

The clerk nodded imperceptibly, and the short man entered the back hall.

Mr. Kitashirakawa, Zhao Chuanxin has arrived in Hong Kong Island. I observed from a distance that indeed, as Francis Fuller said, Zhao Chuanxin's face is slightly sallow and his body is thin. He must be ill.

In the back hall, a short-haired man playing with tea sets nodded: Do you have a chance to do it?

This person is not tall, about 1.6 meters tall, but he is very stocky and has a heroic temperament.

Kitashirakawa, one of the surnames of the Japanese royal family.

The visitor shook his head: There are more than 40 members of the adjudication team following us, and there are a large number of workers outside. In addition, there are British police at the dock, so we can't start there.

Bei Baichuan frowned: Then when he returns to the Xuantian Sect headquarters, he won't be able to do anything, because the security there is even tighter.

So, where should we choose the battlefield?

The visitor shook his head: We can't fight in areas controlled by the British. Wait until he leaves before we make any calculations.

Japan and the United Kingdom are flirting with each other at this time, and it is indeed difficult to make trouble on the head of their ally.

Kitashirakawa poured tea, raised his head and drank it, with exaggerated movements: The sharp knife is drawn out of the sheath, and no blood will be returned until there is blood.

The Light Cavalry Skeleton Combat Team was created by me. It is composed of elite veterans from the elite infantry. The ammunition consumed in training is useless.

I believe that there is no other army in the world that can compare with it, not even the insurance team of Lugang Town.

This time, I will sacrifice the sword with Zhao Chuanxin’s blood!

Light Cavalry Skeleton Combat Team, the first blood must be fired Zhao Chuanxin!

Ha Yi, we will keep an eye on him and report him immediately when the time is right.

Magic City.

James Mason, the British Consul General in Shanghai, met a special guest.

This man's name was Qu Benqiao. He was once a fourth-rank Hanlin scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Later, when the times were unfavorable, he started doing business and became a member of the Shanxi merchants.

He wanted to take back the mineral rights in Shanxi from the British, so he launched public demonstrations and gave public speeches, determined to protect the mines to the end.

And when he came to Shanghai, he came to the British Consulate to find Zhemei Sen.

Why are you looking for Zhe Meisen? Because this guy is not only the consul general, but also the general chairman appointed by the British Fortune Company.

Qu Benqiao met with the real owner and pointed out straight to the point that the ransom of 10 million taels of silver for the mining rights was inappropriate and asked Zhe Meisen to lower the price.

Zhe Meisen lit his cigar and said arrogantly: Not a penny less.

There was no anger on Qu's face, but he argued with reason: 10 million taels of silver, Mr. Zhemeisen should know where this amount comes from. The people in Jinzhong are in a violent mood today, doesn't Mr. Zhemeisen know?

Zhe Meisen was unmoved: 10 million taels of silver, not a penny less.

Qu Benqiao was not affected by his attitude at all, and continued: There is a man in China who is determined to help the times, help those in need, and is both civil and military. Do you know who Mr. Zhemeisen is?

I don't know.

Zhao Chuanxin! Qu Ben raised his sword and said: The people of Shanxi are calling on Mr. Zhao to take action. Wen Ke can manage billions of wealth, and Wu can wield guns and cannons across the West. Mr. Zhemeisen, can this person make you change your mind?

As a result, Zhe Meisen sneered: We, the British Empire, claim that the sun never sets, we have warships like a forest, we use millions of troops to throw whips to cut off the flow of water, and just one Zhao passes the salary, can you threaten me?

10 million taels of silver, not a penny less!

What’s funny is that not only Zhe Meisen thinks so, but also some Chinese people think so, and they are very happy to lick them until the sun sets.

Seeing that he wouldn't take the hard way and even ignored Zhao Chuanxin, he was at his wits' end.

He is not the kind of person who is always quick to get angry. On the contrary, he is energetic, tireless, and has perseverance in doing things. He will not give up until he achieves his goal.

If it doesn't work this time, then we will think of another way to continue to unite the people to put pressure on the British.

So he stood up and said goodbye.

But Zhemeisen couldn't even stand up.

Zhao Chuanxin arrived at the Xuantian Sect headquarters.

To be honest, the headquarters was worse than he expected.

After all, the limitations of materials, coupled with the aesthetic limitations of the era, meant that he could not achieve the results he wanted no matter what.

But in the eyes of several foreigners, they found it very shocking.

Rachel Kervis exclaimed: Ethan, does this palace belong to you?

It is grand and majestic, with obvious Chinese style, but it keeps pace with the times and has various modern facilities.

The headquarters of the Xuantian Sect, located in the Shi'ao Peninsula, a place with excellent Feng Shui, looks particularly impressive.

Especially when night falls, the headquarters is brightly illuminated by various exquisite lamps.

Li Guangzong was the leader, followed by Zheng Guohua and Li Ziyu, and the rest of Dakuchang, Liu Wang and others stayed behind and all came out to greet Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took off his outer coat and threw it to Li Zhitao next to him. He stepped forward and put his arms around Li Guangzong's shoulders. He smiled broadly and tried to sound as loud as possible: Good boy, you did a great job.

This is for others to hear.

Turning around, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, Where did you spend all your money?

I went to bed late and missed the point.
