Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Brother Li, do you mean that I want less?"

Li Weige wanted to persuade him not to cede territory and pay compensation. Wouldn't it be nice for him to receive millions of Japanese yen safely?

He opened his mouth: "This... is not..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Hey, it's a joke. It's not that I, Zhao Chuanxin, am acting rudely, it's just that the Japanese brought too much money this time and I can't help myself."

Zhan Tianyou choked on his tea.

He took over the conversation: "Actually, the compensation for ceding land..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him again: "Aren't you excited about ceding land and paying compensation? At that time, this piece of shit Zhao Yixian said - Zhao Shenxian, your idea is a bit bold, why don't you just forget it? When I heard that, I Angry, I said you really deserve to die, I will use all my life's knowledge to cut you into thousands of pieces, even 9999 pieces will not work. If one piece is missing, I will have the same last name as you - if my apprentice hadn't stopped him desperately and knelt down to kowtow to you. He begged for mercy, but what you see now may be a pile of dumpling fillings."

Zhao Yixian: "..."

Zhan Tianyou and Li Weige: "..."

The two of them stood up in shock, not sure whether Zhao Chuanxin was joking or telling the truth.

Because Zhao Chuanxin is indeed the master who kills people whenever he disagrees!

The two of them didn't have the courage to say the next words.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "How about two brothers? I can't thank you enough for supporting Zhao so much. By the way, what were you going to say just now?"

The little old man Li Weige hurriedly shook his head, and the temples of his glasses were a little loose when he shook his head: "No, it's nothing..."

Zhan Tianyou said awkwardly: "We should support him, Mr. Zhao did a good job..."

"Speaking of support..." Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes: "Brother Li, Brother Zhan, you two should have professional engineering personnel on hand, right?"

The two nodded, but looked confused.

Zhao Chuanxin explained: "I am planning to establish a technical college in Hankou. There is a serious shortage of teachers. Can you two support me?"

Li Weig said in embarrassment: "I hired Luebel, a German Luxembourg craftsman, as the chief engineer, but he brought a group of European engineers to work in Han. But there are two difficulties. First, German engineers have higher salaries; second, , German engineers are too precious to teach Chinese engineering skills..."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled coldly: "I will make an offer they can't refuse!"

Li Weige leaned out half of his body: "How do you say this?"

"How about I let them leave China alive in the future?"

Li Weige: "..."

As expected, one method is applicable to all methods.

This is very Zhao Chuanxin.

Others would definitely not dare to threaten foreigners, and some people would like to have their foreign father imprisoned.

But Zhao Chuanxin's words are definitely powerful.

Zhan Tianyou sighed: "In 1905, when he was appointed as the chief engineer of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, there were only two engineering students available. At that time, the project was dangerous, the funds were limited, and the lack of talents was deeply felt. Mr. Zhao ran the college It's a good thing. After I go back, I will try my best to persuade students to come to teach and educate people."

Zhao Chuanxin did not just let the horse run, he still had to eat grass when he should: "Tell the students that if they are willing to come, the salary will be increased by 20% compared with the current salary."

In fact, Zhan Tianyou's salary is not high, more than a thousand taels of silver per month, which is far lower than the salary offered by foreign companies that want to hire him.

But Zhan Tianyou still resolutely served the country.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly asked: "Brother Li, how does Lu Beier's salary compare with Brother Zhan?"

Li Weige smiled bitterly: "A bit higher."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "Very good. The German guy who comes to teach in the college has the same salary as Brother Zhan's students."

Li Weige tactfully advised: "Mr. Zhao, if this happens, I'm afraid that the remaining engineers will be panicked and no longer willing to do their best for the coal and iron plant!"

"Let's talk about it." There were two voices in Zhao Chuanxin's heart. One told him that if he wanted to steal his master, he couldn't do it without paying a price; the other voice told him, why did the foreign devils get so much?

Zhan Tianyou and Li Weige stood up to leave, and Zhao Chuanxin sent them downstairs.

Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly changed his playful smile, and his face became more sincere: "Both brothers, since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they have gradually weakened over the hundreds of years. It has been 1842 years since the Opium War broke out in 66. Surrounded by great powers, the Qing court signed more than 700 unequal treaties with various countries.

There are four major cases of land splitting: the Treaty of Aihun, the Treaty of BJ, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the Treaty of Tacheng Boundary, totaling 157 million square kilometers of territory.

There were three countries that paid the most compensation, namely the Treaty of Xinchou, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the Treaty of Liaonan, with the compensation exceeding 1.3 billion taels of silver. "

Everyone knows that during the 66 years of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty continued to pay reparations, cede territory, and sign unequal treaties. The humiliation never stopped.

However, no one has ever put this account together.

Zhao Yixian was dumbfounded and murmured to himself: "Oh my God..."

Li Weige and Zhan Tianyou were horrified: "How could there be so many..."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and flicked the cigarette butt away: "There are more than 700 unequal treaties, so many that not only the foreigners think that we Chinese should cede land and pay compensation, but even we ourselves think it is natural."

Zhan Tianyou and Li Weige were silent.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a knitted hat and put it on his bald head to keep out the cold, and said calmly: "You all think I should give up, right?

Just accept it when it's good, right?

but,

I, Zhao Chuanxin,

I just want to be the only rebel in this era! "

Zhao Chuanxin's voice was not loud and his tone was calm.

But the bodies of the three people present couldn't help but tremble.

I felt enlightened and inexplicably excited.

Zhan Tianyou's throat was choked, Li Weige's beard was trembling, and Zhao Yixian felt ashamed...

Zhan Tianyou suddenly felt more confident in his heart. He was sure that even if he said the wrong thing, the murderous Zhao Chuanxin would not do anything to him.

He patted Zhao Chuanxin on the arm: "Zhuan Xin, I was wrong. If you want to build a college, I will fully support it."

Li Weige bent down and clasped his fists: "I will persuade Sheng Zuotang to let German engineers take turns teaching, and all the expenses will be borne by the coal and iron factory."

As for the rest, screw it!

What does it matter whether the great powers die or not, whether they love them or not?

It started to snow at the right time, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky melted as soon as they fell to the ground.

The two of them saluted again, turned around and left, their steps extremely firm.

When they walked away, Zhao Chuanxin patted the stunned Zhao Yixian on the shoulder: "Yixian, give up. In terms of beauty, talent, and charisma, you will never be as good as Zhao Yixian in this life. Look, you have saved a lot of money." With just a pen of money, you don’t have to be embarrassed to be a double-standard dog. Oh, this is the wisdom of a three-hundred-year life, and the ability to swim three thousand miles into the water. Good poems, good poems."

Zhao Yixian couldn't laugh or cry. He really couldn't see through the man in front of him.

Laughing and cursing, ruthless and cold-blooded, which one is the real Zhao Chuanxin?

Zhao Chuanxin, however, was already walking back humming a song: "Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach. Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling you..."
