The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Kang Youwei loved money, but at least he didn't want to be contaminated with opium.

He did not know that the spread of drugs in Mexico in later generations was inseparable from the cultivation of opium by the Chinese in Mexico at that time.

…

When Zhao Chuanxin took office the next day, Cui Fenghua brought him a telegram: "Sir, this is the content of the telegram coming from New York. The sender is Lawson Trust Company."

Since working as Zhao Chuanxin's secretary, Cui Fenghua has learned a lot of new words, like trust companies...

But he didn't know that the largest shareholder of Lawson Trust Company was Zhao Chuanxin, the prefect of Lubin Prefecture.

Zhao Chuanxin received the telegram, which read: Kanye West's payment has dropped sharply in the past two months. I thought it was normal market fluctuations and less income this month, and then I realized something was different. After much inquiring, I discovered that he had diverted funds to invest elsewhere. This is an urgent notification. Thomas W. Lawson - March 29, 1909.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned for a long time.

Who is Kanye West?

Xingyue reminded him: "Kanye West is Kang Youwei's English name - kanye West."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Okay, okay, that’s the name, right?

Zhao Chuanxin immediately wrote an article and asked Situ Meitang to investigate Kang Youwei's whereabouts.

The old guy dared to play tricks with him. It seemed that he was tired of living.

After transferring the telegram to Cui Fenghua and going to the mailroom, Zhao Chuanxin went out after handling official duties and saw Jiang Jian.

After Jiang Jian saluted, he said, "Sir, I have something to report."

Zhao Chuanxin put his hands behind his back and kept walking: "Go ahead."

Jiang Jian hesitated, thinking about his words: "Sir, there is a strong man in the south who wants to challenge you."

After reading the newspaper, he felt extremely angry.

Because that's not what he said in the newspaper.

Those two British guys, Opinion and Oliver Burton, said that the Chinese were the sick men of East Asia, and that Zhao Chuanxin was a coward who did not dare to challenge.

However, in order not to offend Zhao Chuanxin, Jiang Jian whitewashed the original text.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "I understand."

knew?

Jiang Jian was confused, how could you react like this?

Shouldn't he be furious?

"Sir, but they..."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "There are many people who want to challenge me, who is he?"

After that, he strolled out.

Jiang Jian opened his mouth behind him, but finally said nothing more.

It’s easy to say but not nice to hear.

Zhao Chuanxin went out and got on the camel.

Naturally, he didn't know that the other party called him the sick man of East Asia and insulted him as a coward.

After all, he couldn't figure out who could be so blind and seeking death.

He thought that the other party must be very polite and said that he wanted to challenge him.

Zhao Chuanxin had seen too many things about using his position to gain fame, so he just ignored it.

…

Tianjin Wei.

Zhang Zhankui, deputy general manager of the Visiting Bureau, went to pick up Benjamin Goldberg, Zhao Chuanxin's direct disciple.

Although he is young, he has found a good master.

Zhang Zhankui took over Benjamin Goldberg and his team.

After taking a bath in the bathhouse, they took a group of them to a teahouse to listen to a play.

Originally, dogs were not allowed in the teahouse.

But of course it’s not a problem to visit friends of Mr. Zhang, the deputy director-general of the Bureau of Visits.

Ganfan squatted on the ground and listened to the play with everyone.

Suba is very naughty and wants to run around everywhere. When he sees someone eating tea, he gets so greedy that he always wants to throw himself on the table.

At this time, if Ganfan bared his teeth and made a threatening sound of "woo woo", Suba would stop and become more honest.

Zhang Zhankui marveled at this: "What a good dog, very popular."

Ganfan: "Wow..."

Benjamin Goldberg said, “No swearing.”

Zhang Zhankui: "..."

Zhang Zhilan, a storyteller in Deqingyuan Tea House, specializes in "Liao Zhai" and is deeply loved by the people of Tianjin Wei.

Its content sympathizes with kind-hearted people, mocks corrupt officials, and even the royal family and nobles. It is not only the original text, but also elucidates the ideological content of Pu Songling's original work.

Moreover, he is also good at telling allusions, reciting original poems, and interspersing books with extraneous texts to create suspense and attract people.

Sometimes there are also current events interspersed.

In fact, there are some cross talk meanings that often make people laugh and make people think deeply after laughing. There is a proper term for this in the industry - now hanging.

Today we are talking about Taoist priests from Mount Laoshan.

Benjamin Goldberg had never heard of this before. He couldn't help but be fascinated, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​becoming an immortal.

After finishing talking about the Laoshan Taoist priest, someone in the audience called out: "Mr. Zhang, recently there was a British strongman Opinion and a swordsman Oliver challenging Zhao Chuanxin in Shanghai. Please tell me."

Benjamin Goldberg, Aries, Liu Ai and Zhang Zhankui were all stunned.

Someone challenges Zhao Chuanxin?

Zhang Zhilan thought for a while and said seriously: "Mr. Zhao is an outstanding person in the world. He has served the country and the people and is a man of great fortune. But that Opiyin actually spoke wildly, insulting us as the sick men of East Asia and saying that Mr. Zhao has no courage." , all he did was gain fame. It was said that he performed bodybuilding at the Apollo Cinema on Sichuan Road in Shanghai. He made a lot of money because of his fame. Unfortunately, Zhang is a storyteller. If he wanted to practice martial arts, he would go to Shanghai. Teach this arrogant foreigner a lesson..."

Although others are angry, they can still hold it back.

However, Zhang Zhankui was a warrior and had always admired Zhao Chuanxin. Hearing this, he was furious and shouted: "This is unreasonable."

The whole place fell silent.

They all turned to look at Zhang Zhankui.

Zhang Zhankui was so strong that the tea bowl flew up and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Benjamin Goldberg quickly slapped Zhang Zhankui on the arm: "General Manager Zhang, please calm down, it's not a big problem."

"Is it not a big problem?" Zhang Zhankui raised his voice and stood up suddenly: "No, how can Mr. Zhao be insulted by such a clown? Zhang is going south to teach these two people a lesson."

Benjamin Goldberg tried to dissuade him for a long time, but to no avail: "I know my master's temperament. Whenever he hears the words "Sick Man of East Asia", the person who speaks out will be either dead or injured. In my opinion, General Manager Zhang, please be patient. , then Opiyin is about to die."

Zhang Zhankui shook his head: "No, maybe Mr. Zhao is busy with other things and doesn't know about this. Besides, there is no need for Mr. Zhao to come forward for a mere Opiyin. He is not worthy."

Liu Ai said sharply from the side: "Forget it, leave the swordsman of Olivore to me. If you insult the reputation of the shopkeeper, you must die."

He was a master of Guanshan knives. He was used to fighting and killing in the martial arts world. In the rough and savage place of the northwest, life and death were usually determined by a single encounter, so he was not interested in swordsmanship masters.

Benjamin Goldberg saw that the crowd was furious and could not be dissuaded, so he stopped talking.

However, Zhang Zhankui went to Yang Yide to ask for leave, but Yang Yide refused.

Zhang Zhankui told the whole story and explained the reason for going to Shanghai.

Yang Yide is a money-loving villain and has received many benefits from Zhao Chuanxin, which he has continued to do in recent years.

Who made Tianjin Wei a port?

So he thought for a while: "You are in an important position and shouldn't leave. But this matter is of great importance. So, let's invite you fellow martial artists to go together. When someone asks, I might as well have an excuse and just say martial arts." People bring glory to the country.”

Zhang Zhankui couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he heard this.

Because of this kind of thing, it is not easy to invite others to pay for travel expenses. He will spend a lot of money.

When he went back, he accidentally said what he was thinking. Benjamin Goldberg said with a smile: "General Manager Zhang, I have quite a lot of assets. Since this matter happened because of my master, I will pay for the travel expenses as my apprentice." I will go with you.”

Zhang Zhankui felt ashamed and began to shirk the responsibility.

This time, he couldn't beat Benjamin Goldberg.

Therefore, Zhang Zhankui's senior brother Li Cunyi, as well as Shang Yunxiang, who had conquered the world with half-step boxing, and other martial arts celebrities from Tianjin Wei were all invited to go to Shanghai to meet the arrogant Opiyin.

But when he went to invite Huo Yuanjia, someone told him that Huo Yuanjia had already gone to Shanghai at the invitation of Nong Jinsun and should be on the way.

…

Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, finally got through.

The court is ready to reuse him.

He set off from the northeast and returned to the capital.

On the train, he was reading a newspaper.

Among the accompanying guards, there was a bearded man with a calm expression, but his eyes were as bright as lightning.

His name is Sun Fuquan, and he is a well-known Xingyiquan master in the capital.

At the beginning, Xu Shichang appointed the governor of the three eastern provinces. Hearing that Sun Fuquan was highly skilled in martial arts, he hired him as a guest to accompany him to the northeast.

This time, Xu Shichang still took him with him when he came back.

Xu Shichang looked at the newspaper and suddenly frowned: "You really don't know how to live or die!"

Of course Sun Fuquan heard it, but his expression remained unchanged. in silence.

He has such a calm temperament, neither happy nor sad.

Xu Shichang put down the newspaper, took a deep breath and asked Sun Fuquan: "Lutang, can you beat the British strongman?"

He is the famous Hutou Shaobao - Sun Lutang.

Lutang is the name of Sun Fuquan.

Sun Fuquan did not answer directly, but said: "Why do you ask this, sir?"

Xu Shichang handed him the newspaper: "Lutang, you have lived with me outside the customs for several years, and you should have heard a lot about Zhao Tangong's deeds. What do you think of Zhao Tangong?"

Sun Fuquan frowned after reading the newspaper: "Mr. Zhao, you are brave, resourceful, and skilled in both civil and military affairs. He is one of the best heroes in the world."

Xu Shichang nodded: "That's why I asked you if you can beat this Opiyin."

Sun Fuquan nodded firmly: "Yes."

Xu Shichang held a few cases in his hands and said in a sincere tone: "Zhao Tangong is my best friend. To insult him is like insulting me. Lutang, are you willing to go to Shanghai for me?"

Sun Fuquan clasped his fists: "Even if I am not an adult, I am willing to take this trip."

"good!"

…

Han Muxia, Zhang Zhankui's apprentice, met Zhao Chuanxin once when he went south.

Zhao Chuanxin left a very deep impression on him.

When he learned that someone had raised his salary and insulted Zhao Chuanxin, Han Muxia decided to take a boat to Shanghai to meet with Opin for a while.

…

Opiyin issued several advertisements in succession, and at first they were just provocative.

After seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was silent, he gradually relaxed his courage and began to ridicule and abuse Zhao Chuanxin in newspapers.

Why would he do this?

Because of his performance at the Apollo Cinema, the venue was full and everyone had to buy tickets to watch it.

He never expected that Zhao Chuanxin's signboard would be so loud, and he would make a fortune just by swearing a few words.

true value.

Oliver Burton also borrowed the light and performed on stage, which was applauded by the audience.

The two of them had tasted the sweetness and intensified their abuse in newspapers.

The more he curses, the more sensational he gets.

Of course, not all people came to watch the performance, some came to scold people and throw rotten cabbage leaves and eggs.

But black and red are also red, so you have to buy a ticket when you come, right?

During his performance on stage just now, Opiyin punched a man unconscious who threw rotten vegetable leaves at him.

He spat all over the face of the fainted man and cursed contemptuously: "The sick man of East Asia."

In addition to scolding him, there were also Chinese people who applauded him.

As expected, they are all bastards.

He deserves to earn this money!

Little did he know that he had stirred a hornet's nest and one leg had already entered the underworld.

…

At Lubin Mansion Yamen, Cui Fenghua took a telegram to Zhao Chuanxin's office. Seeing that he was not there as usual, she shook her head and put the telegram on the table.

When the door was opened and closed, a gust of wind blew up a corner of the paper, revealing the signature of the telegram—Benjamin Goldberg.

…

Zhao Chuanxin is very busy.

Xingyue decided to upgrade him to the second generation of Youlong.

The first was the cabin material. Xingyue asked Zhao Chuanxian to use the Old God Crucible Brand to heat an aluminum block and mix it with soft gold, constantly adjusting the proportion until the balance between weight and strength was optimal.

After completing the experiment, Zhao Chuanxin cut out the entire Youlong II cabin and smelted it to create an ultra-light soft gold alloy. After absorbing the heat, Xingyue "planted" a new cabin model with solid runes.

The new Youlong II has four more side wings and four tail wings. The front of the cabin is pointed and shaped like a fighter jet.

Xingyue installed rainbow particle jet engines on the cabin chassis and four wings, and used all the organs of Zhao Chuanxin’s live stone corpses from the Haishi Virtual Realm Live Stone Breeding Farm, and connected them in series with copper pipes.

The cabin thickness has increased and the cabin strength has increased, but the weight has not increased much.

After working for a long time, the second generation of dragons finally became the third generation of dragons.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to test drive it immediately, but looked at his watch and found that it was time to refresh the "Old God Code", so he gave up.

[Today, various Void Realm attackers led foreign apprentices to spread the word, saying that a medicine made from a medicinal material called sea man grass that flowed into the Haishi Void Realm from the City of Runes and the Brilliant Oasis could cure the demonic virus. 】

Zhao Chuanxin stared, feeling as if the situation had been opened up.

[Outside Apprentice No. 1749 told me that it was the Void Realm Striker No. 41 who discovered that the seaweed can cure the devil virus. Now the price of seaweed has risen to 5,000 gold coins/ball sand, and there is no market for it. 】

Zhao Chuanxin sat up from the recliner, moving back and forth like a maggot under his buttocks.

When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world; when the profit reaches 300%, some people even dare to go to the gallows. Undaunted.

Now, the profits have reached an incomprehensible level, and Zhao Chuanxian feels that all the Japanese on the Dongsha Islands deserve to die.

Immediately, immediately, without any suspense, Dongsha Islands needs the surname Zhao.

Lao Zhao seems to be arrogant, but in fact he always sticks to the bottom line in everything he does.

But not this time.

While it was still dark in Quite Saran, he came to the path outside the courtyard and rode on the third generation dragon. He first output the old sacred fire and started the Misty Traveler engine to make the third generation dragon move.

From small to large, slowly accelerating.

When the speed increased, Zhao Chuanxin turned on the rainbow particle jet engine.

The third-generation dragon rushed up to a mound and flew up due to inertia. The rainbow particle jet engine increased its output. The third-generation dragon glided more than sixty meters in the air and still had no tendency to fall.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the scenery outside the cabin through the true vision crystal and suddenly felt ambitious.

This thing... can really fly.

However, Xingyue reminded: "There are two odor liquid tanks in total. The rainbow particle engine is not mature yet and consumes the stinky liquid too quickly. If you keep flying, the first odor liquid tank will be exhausted soon. If you are at high altitude, it will consume the odor liquid too quickly." If you empty the tank, you will have to jump out of the cabin, step on the ladder and fall to the ground."

Xingyue took over the aerial driving, and the three generations of dragons slowly descended. Zhao Chuanxin walked along the mountain road to Nautla Port and entered the water.

The additional rainbow particle engine is only used to take off when it must fly. It is usually used to overcome obstacles or accelerate the third-generation dragon on the sea surface.

For example, this time.

Zhao Chuanxin felt a strong push on his back. After enduring an acceleration of at least 1 G, he could hear a sharp roar like a dragon's roar outside even in the thick cabin.

At this time, Xingyue reminded him: "According to your statement, your speed at this time has reached Mach 1."

If the blinking time is 0.5 seconds, then in the blink of an eye, the third generation dragon can run about 170 meters.

You can see it one moment, blink your eyes, and disappear from sight the next moment.

At this time, the third generation of Youlong has two engines, one is the Misty Traveler engine and the other is the Rainbow Particle engine.

For normal driving, the rainbow particle engine is only an auxiliary, and the Misty Traveler engine is the main driver.

Zhao Chuanxin tried to increase the output of the old sacred fire, and the Misty Traveler engine reached its limit, almost over 800 kilometers per hour.

By properly turning on the rainbow particle engine, Zhao's transmission speed can reach Mach 1.

If "fuel consumption" is ignored, Zhao Chuanxin can increase the speed to about Mach 1.2.

But he was afraid of this speed.

The stars and the moon must predict in advance the flying fish in the sea and the birds in the sky.

In less than an hour, three generations of swimming dragons arrived on the Cuban coastline at an astonishing speed.

Zhao Chuanxin became interested, crossed the strait, crossed the Miami coastline to the North Atlantic, and headed northeast.

His baby bump was in that direction.

Whether it was Bermuda, lightning, thunder, or icebergs, Zhao Chuanxin ignored them all and traveled across the North Atlantic, almost racing against the sun.

After all, the earth rotates at a speed of only 15 degrees of longitude per hour, which is only about 1,600 km if we have to convert it into a unit of length.

So for Zhao Chuanxin, the dawn was particularly slow.

Six hours later, he arrived at the Dutch coastline.

Zhao Chuanxin landed in a deserted place, collected three generations of wandering dragons, and felt a little tired.

He directly teleported to Bronze Eye No. 15, Noordeinborg.

In Noordeinborg, Wilhelmina was wiping Zhao Lingjun's mouth.

The doctor suggested feeding her complementary food later, but maybe she was too smart, used her brain too much, and was hungry frequently. She could eat and poop, and two wet nurses were not enough to feed her without complementary food.

"I want to eat more." Seeing Wilhelmina stopped feeding, Zhao Lingjun immediately turned his face and slapped the stroller.

Wilhelmina smiled: "If you eat more, you will grow into a little fat."

Zhao Lingjun continued to pat the baby carriage: "My father said that being fat at first is not considered fat, but being fat later will collapse the kang. I want to eat more!"

"..." Wilhelmina: "What your father said may not be right."

"My father is right, I want to find my father!"

"Margot, you look after her, I will be very busy today."

Wilhelmina left in a hurry without caring about this crying, making trouble and having a bad temper.

Margot cleaned up the mess, and then felt the urge to pee, so she said to Zhao Lingjun in the baby carriage: "Your Highness, I'm going out for a while and will be back later."

Zhao Lingjun ignored her, so she went out.

Zhao Lingjun was shaking his baby carriage hard towards the food on the table, and at this time the door was opened.

Zhao Lingjun subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and laughed: "Dad, I've been waiting for you so hard!"
