Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhan Tianyou has always been respected and loved by others, not only because he is the number one engineer in China, but also because of his character that is neither humble nor overbearing.

During the period of studying in the United States, other international students were walking on thin ice in the United States and were timid and cowardly. Zhan Tianyou was the only one who was generous and generous. Not only was he a top student all the way to Yale University, but he also had a wide range of hobbies, including swimming, skating, fishing, baseball...especially Like baseball, Americans can see that the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia and can play baseball better than them.

This neither humble nor arrogant character ran through his life.

Another point is that in this era of turbulence from the west to the east, it is common for other intellectuals to change their minds due to different ideas. Zhan Tianyou is one of the few examples of someone who married his wife and grew old together.

When Zhao Chuanxin was in elementary school, there was an article "Zhan Tianyou" in his textbook.

There were many sanctimonious people in the late Qing Dynasty. Even if the "diary saints" Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were still alive, Zhao Chuanxin would lose if he showed any good looks. As for a feudal official like Zhao Erxun, Zhao Chuanxin could make him furious.

However, from Zhan Tianyou's perspective, he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Chuanxin...

This time he came to Hankou for an inspection to prepare for the construction of the "Han-Guangdong Railway". He happened to be there and was brought over by Sheng Xuanhuai to make up for his loss. Unexpectedly, he would be treated differently by the legendary God of War (shit stirrup) Zhao Chuanxin. .

You must know that Lian Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhao Chuanxin are both lukewarm.

"Mr. Zhao has given you too much praise. How can I be so virtuous and capable..."

Zhao Chuanxin acted as if there was no one around, stepped forward and grabbed Zhan Tianyou's arm and walked into the conference hall: "Oh, brother Zhan, don't be humble, you are my idol. I have determined to be like you since I was a child - without morals A person with flaws, noble character, strong and hard-working, and useful to society. To this day, I can proudly say - I did it."

Dabanov and Sheng Xuanhuai looked at each other and followed behind silently.

Zhao Yixian dug his toes into the ground when he heard this - you have nothing to do with this, okay?

In the conference hall, the tables, chairs and benches inside were arranged in a tripartite camp posture.

Asabuki Eiji, Aso Hisahide and representatives of concessions from various countries sat on the east side, symbolizing the host...

Zhao Chuanxin himself is in the west.

Sheng Xuanhuai and the others, who represented the Qing court, were in the middle.

This battle is very interesting.

After entering the door, among the looks cast by the great powers, some were eager to spit fire, some were timid, and some had unconvincing expressions on their faces... just to name a few.

Zhao Chuanxin waved to them: "Hi, how are you?"

No one paid any attention to him.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Zhan Tianyou: "Brother Zhan, look at it, look at it, these are foreigners, vulgar and rude. If I hadn't been broad-minded, I would have turned my back on the spot."

Zhan Tianyou is a little bit confused and agrees with Zhao Chuanxin? He didn't dare. Oppose Zhao Chuanxin? He didn't even dare.

So I could only smile awkwardly.

Zhao Yixian wanted to sit on the west side with Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin winked: "Don't sit in the wrong seat."

Zhao Yixian was also very shrewd, his eyes darting around, and he followed Sheng Xuanhuai.

Zhao Chuanxin sat down, crossed his legs, took out a cigar and lit it, and said to the person who brought the tea: "Go away, who knows if you have poisoned me? You guys are very vicious-hearted."

The man retreated angrily while holding the tea bowl.

There is also a representative from Russia, but it is not Dabanov.

Dabanov didn't know what he was thinking, so he set up a stage. He stood on it like a referee and said, "Everyone, be quiet."

"The matters discussed today involve the personal and property safety of the people in the concessions in Hankou, so we should be extremely cautious. If Hankou loses the prosperity of the concessions, it will be like a beam falling down, and someone will suddenly lose their support. Therefore, now that the tragedy has happened, I, JK Banov mediates in the middle, and removes any disadvantages..."

Balabala talked a lot, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't listen to a word and fell asleep.

After a while, Dabanov raised his head and looked at the three sides and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out the fried dough sticks and powdered sugar he bought on the road, soaked them in them and ate them. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Now that the outcome has been decided, how much money are you prepared to compensate me?"

Representative of the concession from the great powers: "..."

Asabuki Eiji: "..."

Sheng Xuanhuai: "..."

Especially Sheng Xuanhuai, he was shocked by Zhao Chuanxin's greed. He actually thought that the great powers would take out money?

Dabanov coughed: "Ahem, Mr. Zhao, I think you misunderstood..."

"What's the misunderstanding?" Zhao Chuanxin swallowed the fried dough stick and wiped the oil on his mouth and hands with a napkin: "Before, when the Qing Dynasty was defeated, wasn't it necessary to cede territory and pay compensation? Now that you have lost, you should also cede territory and pay compensation?"

Dabanov was dumbfounded: "Ah this..."

He never expected that Zhao Chuanxin would have this theory.

Eiji Asabuki stood up suddenly: "I, Eiji Asabuki, I..."

"Eiji Squirting?" Zhao Chuanxin was shocked: "How can such a dirty and dirty name exist in the world? It simply overturned my three views! Did your mother become pregnant with you when she was the happiest? "

"..." Asabuki Eiji didn't understand, why was his name so dirty?

He secretly scolded Zhao Chuanxin for not being able to spit out ivory.

He said displeasedly: "Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about for ceding land and indemnity? What I want to say now is that you return the money to our Yokohama Shokin Bank..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him again: "Return it? Squirt, I'm not talking about you, that's all Mi Tai, why do you still like to joke?"

Asabuki Eiji was annoyed when his last name was teased: "I never joke!"

"Fuck you next door." Zhao Chuanxin knocked over the pottery bowl in front of him and smashed it to pieces on the ground: "From the Sino-Japanese War of 2.5 to the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, how many things have you bastard Japanese stolen? Don’t you have some ideas in mind? Not counting those antique calligraphy and paintings, golden Buddha statues, etc., there is still million yen in compensation, all of which should be returned to me, and I will give you the three million yen!

This is really unreasonable. You have clearly set the tone and whoever gets it belongs to whom. Now you are going back on your word. What a villain. Bah! "

I blanch...

Zhan Tianyou was stunned.

Zhao Chuanxin, who had been looking so warm just now, was suddenly full of swear words and resorted to bandit logic.

But why do I feel a little happy?

Asabuki Eiji's face turned pale after being sprayed: "That's different..."

"Go away and be paralyzed, I said it's the same." Zhao Chuanxin banged the table, pointed at Dabanov and said: "Okay, now you study, what are the four countries of Britain, Japan, France and Russia?" How can a defeated country pay compensation?”

Dabanov: "..."

Is this a defeated country?

Why does it sound so harsh?

The representative of Belgium stood up: "Mr. Zhao, you are a bit unreasonable..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him coldly: "Britain, Japan and Russia have already died in full. How about you, Belgium, try what it's like to be a defeated country?"

The Belgian representative's expression froze and he sat down awkwardly.

The troops in Hankou were the smallest among them, and there was not even a single warship in Jiujiang.

Aso Jiuhide looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, who was as if the old monk was in trance: "Sheng Sheng, Mr. Zhao is from the Qing Dynasty. What do you say about this matter?"
