Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Kang Youwei loved money, but at least he was unwilling to get involved in opium.

He didn't know that the subsequent drug epidemic in Mexico was closely related to the cultivation of opium by the Chinese in Mexico at that time.

……

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

Since becoming Zhao Chuanxin's secretary, Cui Fenghua has learned a lot of new words, such as trust company...

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

Zhao Chuanxin received a telegram that read: Kanye West's funds have dropped sharply in the past two months. I thought it was a normal market fluctuation, and only realized that something was wrong when I saw less income this month. After much investigation, I found that he had withdrawn funds for investment elsewhere. So I'm informing you urgently. Thomas W. Lawson - March 1909.3.29, .

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned for a while.

Who is Kanye West?

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

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Okay, okay, this is the name, right?

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

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

After forwarding the telegram to Cui Fenghua in the mailroom, Zhao Chuanxin went out after finishing his official business and saw Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian bowed and said, "Sir, I have something to report."

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

Jiang Jian hesitated, choosing his words carefully: "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.

They were two Englishmen named Opian and Oliver Burton. They said that the Chinese were the sick men of East Asia and that Zhao Chuanxin was a coward who dared not fight.

However, in order not to anger Zhao Chuanxin, Jiang Jian embellished the original text.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "I understand."

understood?

Jiang Jian was confused. How could you react like this?

Shouldn't he be furious?

"Sir, but they..."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned: "There are many people who want to challenge me, who is he?"

After saying that, he strolled out.

Jiang Jian opened his mouth at the back, but finally said nothing.

It's not a good thing to say.

Zhao Chuanxin went out and rode on a camel.

He naturally 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 understand who would be so blind as to seek death.

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

Zhao Chuanxin has seen many people using other people's positions to gain fame, so he just ignores them.

……

Tianjin Wei.

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

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

Zhang Zhankui welcomed Benjamin Goldberg and his group.

After soaking in the bathhouse, he took them to the teahouse to listen to opera.

Originally, dogs were not allowed into the teahouse.

But visiting the friends of Mr. Zhang, the deputy general manager of the bureau, is a natural thing.

He squatted on the ground while eating and listened to the opera with everyone else.

Suba was very naughty and wanted to run around everywhere. When he saw someone eating snacks, he drooled and always wanted to jump onto the table.

At this time, if Ganfan bared his teeth and made a threatening "woooo" sound, Suba would stop and behave himself.

Zhang Zhankui was amazed by this and said, "What a good dog, very human."

Dry rice: "Woo..."

Benjamin Goldberg said: "No swearing."

Zhang Zhankui: "..."

Zhang Zhilan, a storyteller at Deqing Garden Teahouse, specialized in telling stories from a Chinese studio and was deeply loved by the people of Tianjin.

Its content sympathizes with kind-hearted people, ridicules corrupt officials, and even royal relatives and nobles. It not only elaborates on the ideological content of Pu Songling's original work.

He is also good at telling allusions, reciting original poems, interspersing stories outside the book, creating suspense and making the reader fascinating.

Sometimes current affairs are interspersed.

In fact, some crosstalks are meant to make people laugh and think deeply after laughing. There is a special term for this in the industry called "immediate jokes".

Today we are talking about the Taoist priests of Laoshan.

Benjamin Goldberg had never heard of this before, and he was fascinated by it, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​becoming an immortal.

After talking about the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan, an audience member called out, "Mr. Zhang, there is a recent incident in Shanghai where a British strongman, Opinion, and a swordsman, Oliver, challenged Zhao Chuanxin. Can you tell me about it?"

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

Is there anyone challenging Zhao Chuanxin?

Zhang Zhilan thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Mr. Zhao is a great man of the time. He has served the country and the people, and is a man of great fortune. But that Aopiyin actually made wild remarks, insulting us as the sick man of East Asia, saying that Mr. Zhao is cowardly and is only trying to gain fame. It is said that he performed bodybuilding at the Apollo Cinema on Sichuan Road in Shanghai, and made a lot of money from his fame. He is despicable. It's a pity that Zhang is a storyteller. If he practiced martial arts, he would go to Shanghai to teach this arrogant foreigner a lesson..."

Although others are angry, they can still control themselves.

But Zhang Zhankui was a warrior and had always respected Zhao Chuanxin. He was furious when he heard this and slammed the table and stood up, saying, "How can this be possible?"

The whole place fell into silence.

They all turned to look at Zhang Zhankui.

Zhang Zhankui was so strong that he sent the tea bowl flying into the air, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Benjamin Goldberg quickly patted Zhang Zhankui's arm and said, "Please calm down, General Manager Zhang. It's not a big problem."

"It's not a big deal?" Zhang Zhankui raised his voice and stood up suddenly: "No, Mr. Zhao is not someone who can be insulted by such a clown. I will go south to teach these two a lesson."

Benjamin Goldberg tried to dissuade him for a long time but to no avail: "I know my master's temper. If he hears the words 'Sick Man of East Asia', the person who says it will either die or be injured. In my opinion, General Manager Zhang should be patient, because Opin is going to die soon."

Zhang Zhankui shook his head: "No, maybe Mr. Zhao is busy with other things and doesn't know about this. Besides, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to come forward for just Aopiyin, he is not worthy."

Liu Ai said shrilly, "Well, leave the swordsman from Oliver to me. Anyone who insults the shopkeeper's reputation must die."

He was an expert in using the Guanshan knife and was used to fighting in the martial arts world. In the rough and barbaric northwest, life and death were usually decided in one encounter. He was not interested in any swordsmanship masters.

Seeing that the crowd was so angry and unable to stop them, Benjamin Goldberg kept silent.

However, when Zhang Zhankui asked Yang Yide for leave, Yang Yide refused.

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

Yang Yide is a money-loving villain who has received many benefits from Zhao Chuanxin, which have not been interrupted in the past few years.

Who made Tianjin a port?
