Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Why did Frankie react so strongly?

The Qing government originally wanted to build the Lu-Han Railway but had no money.

If you don't have money, you have to borrow money.

The great powers were eyeing it. Zhang Zhidong, who was in charge of the overall situation at that time, was unwilling to let the great powers control the railways, and finally chose Belgium, the weakest country.

Because Belgium is just a small country.

Belgium, together with French capital, borrowed 450 million pounds from the Qing court.

Because the Belgian consortium sent personnel to supervise railway construction and railway operations, there were thousands of railway workers in need of accommodation.

At that time, Frankie bought 10 acres of land in Liujiamiao at the price of 600 taels of silver per mu.

After buying it, he said to the Qing court: I also bought the land you see. Our workers need accommodation. I demand that I have the same concession rights as other countries. You have to divide the concession area for me.

Zhang Zhidong's pick on Belgium was just a pick on the weak side, but this guy got into trouble.

Naturally he disagreed.

With the support of France and Russia, Belgium persisted in dealing with the Qing court for many years.

Later, Zhang Zhidong changed his strategy and prepared to pay to redeem the land.

The Frankie lion opened his mouth. The land originally bought for 10 taels was now sold back to the Qing court for 1363 taels.

Zhang Zhidong actually agreed.

If Zhao Chuanxin hadn't made a big fuss in the Hankou Concession, this matter would have been accomplished and Belgium could have succeeded.

However, after Zhao Chuanxin finished making trouble, the matter was shelved, and it remains unresolved until now.

Now Zhao Chuanxin, let alone giving 1363 taels of silver to an acre of land, he even directly asked for the 600 acres. How could Frankie not be surprised or angry?

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand to Liu Huaqiang: "Huaqiang, see off the guest for me. If you don't give it to me, I will take it myself."

Frankie was anxious: "Mr. Zhao, I will call your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."

Zhao Chuanxin, who was originally cheerful, suddenly revealed his murderous intent: "Go away, if I say it one more time, you will die immediately!"

Frankie hurried out with the pale Paul.

The person in charge of Lixing Foreign Company said at this time: "Mr. Zhao, I am..."

"It doesn't matter who you are, how dare you guys from Lixing Yangxing hit me? I'm hurt physically and mentally, so I'll use you Lixing Yangxing to pay for it."

"Ah this..." The person in charge of Lixing Foreign Company was confused.

Can anyone really hurt you in this world?

At the door, Liu Huaqiang burst into laughter.

When Liu Huaqiang went down, he told the students what had happened. Everyone was very excited.

"Deserve it, deserve it."

"I feel like this is immoral..."

"Shit, how much land and money have foreigners taken away from us? Why can't our dean take advantage of them?"

"You little foreign devil, you must remember never to insult the Chinese people in your life!"

What is the correct concept?

You can insult yourself, but as one, we will never allow outsiders to insult our own people.

Another student said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao said it well. We must work hard to build China's first car, our own car! We must build aircraft and cannons..."

Zhao Chuanxin did not talk about technology, but he talked about the importance of what these students did.

Liu Huaqiang clenched his fist and said: "I think what Mr. Zhao said is true. We are really more important than we think."

"Everyone encourages us together!"

"mutual encouragement."

……

On an ocean liner traveling from west to east.

Samuel Goldberg and Liu Baobao were chatting with a well-dressed bearded foreigner.

Liu Guoguo said with emotion in English: "Mr. Chamberlain, last time we met on the train outside the customs, I didn't expect to meet again on the ship back to China. I have to say that we are really destined, but I couldn't say it at that time. English."

Among the teams going to London for the Olympics, who speaks the best English?

Surprisingly, it was Liu Guogui who could speak an authentic and fluent London accent.

Showing off is a huge motivator.

The bearded foreigner was the geologist Chamberlain who once discussed the issue of global warming with Zhao Chuanxin on the train.

Chamberlain was a little surprised: "I really didn't expect that you could learn English so quickly. You also won many medals in the Olympics?"

Liu Baogui lay on the side of the ship with a cigar in his mouth and said calmly: "Fortunately, the Western countries are warm-hearted and worried that we would be complacent if we won more medals, so they kindly blocked us secretly, otherwise we would really be proud."

"..."

Samuel Goldberg gasped, will you die if you don’t show off for a moment?

Chamberlain was in a daze, remembering that Zhao Chuanxin had said similar words on the train.

This is the most proud and pretentious group of Chinese people he has ever seen.

He asked: "Isn't Ethan here?"

Ethan was Zhao Chuanxin’s original pseudonym.

Liu Guogui shook his head: "He is worried that his arrival will cause the Olympic Organizing Committee to change the rules, because he can participate in dozens of events alone, and perhaps win dozens of gold medals by himself. It is really outrageous and will dampen the enthusiasm of all mankind for sports."

"..."

Samuel Goldberg couldn't stand it anymore and coughed violently.

Chamberlain laughed loudly: "You people in Lugang Town are all very humorous."

Liu Guogui also laughed, but said in his heart: You stupid foreigners really don’t know the power of passing on salary, and you think I’m joking.

It's a waste of time for you to jump high, but it's only over two meters high. You can reach the roof easily by passing the salary, otherwise why would you be called the God of War on the Rooftop?

You try your best, but you can't jump more than eight meters, which is the same distance that you can easily step forward.

As for shooting...duh, I'm afraid all the athletes in the Olympics are younger brothers.

Liu Guogui asked Chamberlain: "Mr. Chamberlain, what is the purpose of your trip to China this time?"

Chamberlain pointed to a group of teachers and students in the distance and said: "I organized an oriental educational investigation on China's natural resources. I plan to take them to Guangzhou, Guangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Henan, Hebei, BJ, Fengtian and other places.”

Liu Guogui bared his teeth: "You are really rich."

He already knew how much it would cost to travel in a group like this. It was too expensive.

“For the academic sake, it’s worth it.”

Samuel Goldberg is also very talkative, but he couldn't get a word in at this moment.

Just watch Liu Baogui’s performance.

Because last time Liu Baobao and Zhao Chuanxin met the Chamberlains on the train and listened to Zhao Chuanxin discussing geology and global warming with them. Firstly, they couldn't understand, and secondly, they couldn't get a word in.

After returning home, I learned from my experience and felt that it was too shameful to be uneducated, so I learned more about the relevant knowledge.

He is now a person who is knowledgeable but not good. He can add a few words to everything, but this is enough, enough to make people look at him with admiration.

After all, Lugang Town has a library where you can find all kinds of information. It is a paradise for those who want to learn.

Pretending to be cool made Liu Guogui improve.
