The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin took the wish-fulfilling mushroom, and what he thought in his mind was: to achieve success in one fell swoop and train the light blade rune to level 10.

After all, he was Old Zhao, and he would not think about his wife, children, and warm bed, nor would he think about getting promoted and getting rich, not thinking about becoming an emperor, and even less about becoming an immortal or a saint. He only wanted to become stronger.

He waited for a while and found that there was no change around him.

He tried the level 1 light blade rune, and in the blink of an eye, a light blade the size of a millet grain flew out.

He tried the level 2 light blade rune, and then something unexpected happened.

The energy four-dimensional diagram that had been difficult but could not be guided was formed smoothly at this time. He flicked his fingers, and a light blade the size of a pistol bullet condensed between his fingers.

The light blade popped out, leaving a neat round hole on the stone wall, and entered the wall an inch.

The feeling of success made Zhao Chuanxin feel comfortable.

I'm so excited, it's done?

As expected, my wish came true!

He flicked his fingers repeatedly, and the level 2 light blade flew around, and he had already achieved ease.

Trying the level 3 light blade again, the pattern in his mind is more complicated, but Zhao Chuanxin still effortlessly ejects the light blade of the length of a rifle bullet, and it penetrates the wall three inches.

It really is what you wish for!

Zhao Chuanxin's breathing is heavy with excitement, and he can't help it.

He skipped level 456789 and directly manipulated the level 10 rune.

As he expected, the four-dimensional pattern of the level 10 light blade rune is so complicated that even his apprentice Benjamin Goldberg's brain may not be able to remember it clearly.

Zhao Chuanxin got a glimpse of the full picture of the level 10 light blade rune.

Just as he was thinking about performing it, the pattern deformed, the studio spun around, and shattered like a mirror.

The fragments flew everywhere, and the whole space was collapsing.

Zhao Chuanxin felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but hold the workbench beside him, and found that the workbench was also slowly breaking.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

What happened?

Did Thanos snap his fingers?

He tried to pinch his arm, and found that it didn't hurt.

I… Zhao Chuanxin understood.

Damn forest elf chief, it turns out that this is how a wish comes true.

He was in a trance for a while, shuddered, and the illusion returned to reality.

Looking around, whether it was the glass roof or the workbench, nothing was broken, everything was intact.

As expected, it was all an illusion.

This made Zhao Chuanxin a little depressed.

The feeling of having a wish come true is indeed fascinating, whatever you want will come true.

Damn, liar!

However, when he looked at the stone wall, he suddenly found the cuts left by the use of level 2 and level 3 light blades.

"Hiss..."

Wait!

Zhao Chuanxin walked over and touched the cuts carefully, it was still warm...

He pinched his arm again, it hurt.

Now he was sure that the effect of the wish-fulfilling mushroom was gone.

What about these cuts?

He flicked his fingers, and the four-dimensional guidance map of the level 3 light blade formed in his mind was not as smooth as in the illusion, but he still condensed it into a level 3 light blade.

A rifle bullet-length blade of light condensed and penetrated three inches into the wall.

Xingyue knew that he had eaten the wish-fulfilling mushroom, but didn't know his hallucination, and was shocked: "How did you do it?"

"I daydreamed about it." Zhao Chuanxin chuckled.

"..."

He practiced for a while while the iron was hot, so that the level 3 light blade rune would be memorized.

Then he hurriedly continued to open the "Old God Code" to see what the Fearless Vanguard was daydreaming about.

[I took the wish-fulfilling mushroom. ]

[After opening my eyes, I asked in surprise: Why are you here? ]

[It was the Red Island nun. She slowly walked in front of me, lifted the veil, and revealed her beautiful face. She took off the black robe on her body...]

[I turned my head embarrassedly, because I was still in the Shadow Forest, and there were forest elves nearby! ]

[But I was surprised to find that there was no one else around. ]

[The Red Island nun walked towards me slowly, put her hand on my shoulder, and slowly slid down...]

How many years have passed.

Zhao Chuanxin hadn't read such a little

H

book for many years.

It was really eye-catching.

I never expected that Fearless Pioneer had always had improper thoughts about the old woman, the Red Island female monk.

He was really a beast in human form.

Could it be that Fearless Pioneer also loved married women, especially mature women, because of his own influence?

What a sin...

Zhao Chuanxin was furious.

Rebecca Levi, wait and see, tonight I will let you see how cows plow the fields.

Finally.

[When my happiness reached its peak, I felt dizzy, the Red Island female monk disappeared, and the chief of the forest elves was looking at me with a piercing gaze. ]

[I blushed and dared not look at her. ]

What a shame!

Zhao Chuanxin grinned and dug his toes into the ground.

[But I still couldn't help asking: Whatever you wish for will come true, is there anything else? ]

I was ashamed...

Zhao Chuanxin was convinced.

You have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect that your heart is full of vulgar tastes.

But he also wants it.

The 10th level Light Blade Rune has not been trained yet. I just looked at a picture, but I can't recover it in my mind now.

[The chief of the forest elves shook his head: It's gone. The growth cycle of the wish-fulfilling mushroom is long, and the shelf life is short after picking it. It is very valuable. If you want, I can keep the next batch of wish-fulfilling mushrooms for you, but...]

[I know, he wants to say, but there is no free lunch in the world. ]

[At this moment, screams echoed in the shadow forest. Then there was a creepy howl, a howl that neither I nor the chief of the forest elves had ever heard. ]

[The leader of the forest elf clan hurriedly said to me: Fearless Pioneer, okay, you should complete your mission. 】

[The screams and howls just now gave me a sense of urgency. 】

【end

Day is coming. 】

[I bid farewell to the forest elf clan leader, teleported to the vanguard partner's haven, and handed the wood to the craftsman. 】

[I came up with an idea. After finding the Elf Scouts, I want to create a survivor corridor leading to Rune City to save the fate of mankind in the cursed desert. 】

[I thought of my old friend in Middle-earth again - the weirdo. Hope he's okay. 】

[I dressed up, rode on the second-generation dragon, and headed for the virtual sea city. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

After practicing the level 3 light blade rune for a while, he walked out of the underground fortress when the sky was bright.

Agure Ida had just finished washing. When he saw Zhao Chuanxin, he said: "Don John Constantine. Before going to bed last night, I figured out some things. I am really a genius."

Zhao Chuanxin recalled the short-lived four-dimensional guidance diagram of the level 10 light blade rune, and said perfunctorily: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"People who devoutly believe in God will also be unlucky. Some fall ill and die at a young age, some are killed by rural patrols, some are killed by bandits, some fall to death while riding horses, and some starve to death. "So, I think the end of faith is..." Agure Ida said enthusiastically: "How about we open a coffin shop?"

"..." Zhao Chuanxin looked at him in shock: "Is this what you have figured out?"

Agure Ida said seriously: "Yes, I have a hunch that Quitshalan, and even Mexico, is about to usher in a bloody storm."

"You bitch, you are really bad." Zhao Chuanxin spat.

Agure Ida had more or less figured out Lao Zhao's temper. He smiled and didn't take it seriously when he was scolded, and said, "Don John Constantine, I think it's time for us to open our business."

Zhao Chuanxin looked back at the white house. He looked down upon such a small industry.

But there must be a reason to live here, so he nodded: "I'll bring some gadgets and put them up later, and put up a sign. You are both the shopkeeper and the clerk."

Agure Ida was very excited: "What are we selling?"

"Tavern."

Zhao Chuanxin placed two things, both a jukebox and a song for five students.

The other is a pinball game machine, which is nothing more than a wooden box, a glass cover, steel balls, and a spring handle. The inside is made like a maze. Even if it is completed, you can play for free.

The former came from him, and the latter was made by the black puppet craftsman.

Other than that is playing cards.

Zhao Chuanxin used a solid board to carve a plaque that read - White House Tavern.

Five oil lamps were erected in a row in and outside the courtyard.

Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin said to Agure Ida: "There are whiskey and vodka in the cabinet, there are pots made in China, and there is German beer. You can go to Miguel Esteban's house to get some more Make some tequila, stir-fry some peanuts to prevent them from being drunk, and marinate some eggs and leave everything to you.”

After that he left.

Ajure Ida, the greater the pressure, the greater his ability.

Except for the crow's mouth, he is a good boy.

…

The Qing court has begun to use the "Xuantong" reign title.

After Aixinjueluo Puyi succeeded to the throne, what big children could do was decided by others.

Under the pressure of external public opinion, in 1906, the Qing government issued a nine-year preparatory constitutional edict.

In 1909, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the reign name. It was time for the original promise to be fulfilled.

But Aixinjueluo Zaifeng can fool him day by day, so of course it is better to keep the power in his own hands.

Therefore, we should first imitate local councils in Western constitutional countries and establish advisory bureaus.

Of course, this rumor has been released for a long time, but it cannot be delayed any longer this year.

As a result, Aixinjueluo Zaifeng spread the news that on February 17, 1909, consultative bureaus would be formally established in each province to prepare for local self-government in various states and counties, and to establish self-governance research institutes.

This kind of thing naturally starts from the economically developed south. Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, took the lead in establishing the Preparatory Office of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng was quite proud, and had a mentality similar to "I have done this and done it well, so you have nothing to say."

Zhang Renjun hired 22 people including Deng Huaxi, Zhang Zhenxun and Feng Jia to serve as council gentry. He also raised funds from Japanese students Jin Puchong, Jin Pufen and others, and chose a site outside Dadongmen to build the Guangdong Council Building, which was regarded as the first choice.

For this reason, Aixinjueluo Zaifeng not only called the whole country, but also followed Zhao Chuanxin's example and hired reporters to publicize the matter.

And told Zhang Renjun to promote it with great fanfare.

The regent was pleased with himself.

He was waiting for applause and congratulations from all directions.

But when he read the newspaper, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

Major newspapers did report on the Qing government's preparation for the Consultative Bureau.

However, it is reported in comparison.

Because Lubin Mansion has already convened a meeting of the Advisory Council.

From a democratic perspective, at least 1/3 of Lubin Prefecture are elected members from various localities, 1/3 are internally elected, and only 1/3 are designated members.

And what about the Guangdong Consultative Bureau?

Deng Huaxi served as governor of several provinces, acted as governor of water transportation, and was awarded the title of Prince Shaobao at each stage.

Zhang Zhenxun, the founder of Changyu Wine, founded several companies, and has served as consul general in many foreign countries, general director of Lu-Han Railway, and general office of Guangzhou-Sanzhou Railway...

Qiu Fengjia, who was born in the Ji Chou Department and was a Jinshi scholar, was once appointed as the director of the Ministry of Industry...

None of the 22 gentry members are ordinary people, they are basically all carefully selected people from within.

Reporters said: The Advisory Bureau is a place for each province to adopt public opinion, point out the problems of the province, and plan local security. The members of the Guangdong Consultative Council are all gentry. In recent decades, they have been suffering from the same abuses. It is conceivable that if all the gentry gather together and follow the whitewash, how can they expect to become rich and powerful? There is nothing like the Consultative Bureau of Lubin Prefecture, where scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the epitome of tens of millions of compatriots. Each expresses his or her own opinion, analyzes and considers in detail. This is true constitutional government. Only those that benefit the public are adopted. Political affairs are effectively rectified, and the general affairs are promoted, the people and the people are punished, and the evils of the constitution are cured. Unprecedented in Guangdong...

The reporter faintly pointed out the hypocrisy of the Qing government's establishment of the Consultative Bureau, which was just to consolidate feudal rule.

On the other hand, Lubin Mansion, a mere place outside the Great Wall, has actually achieved democracy and constitutional government.

There are only two people in Lubin Mansion's government office who have joined the consultation bureau. One is Yao Jia, the general manager of the Bureau of Officials and Goods, as the chief speaker.

One is Tang Qunying, a young clerk, who is also a female.

As for Zhao Chuanxin, as the prefect, he did not even attend the meeting.

However, the bills passed will be implemented effectively, even if they are unreasonable, they will be implemented as long as they are passed by the parliament.

The prefect has a veto power, but Zhao Chuanxin has not exercised that power so far.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng was slapped in the face, which really hurt.

…

In Fengtian, Xu Shichang was surprised and delighted after reading the newspaper: "The charcoal workers really set a precedent for the country. This is what a constitution should be like."

In Guangdong, Zhang Renjun read the newspaper, his face was green and red, and he was extremely ashamed.

Immediately he sighed: "Zhao Tan Gong is actually a pillar of talent. He is the only one who can do things unscrupulously..."

He wouldn't make it anyway.

In Nanyang, Sun Gongwu read the newspaper and said with a wry smile: "Come and take a look. Zhao Tangong has done everything in advance after we overthrew the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone: "..."

…

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng read another newspaper and shouted angrily: "This thief actually abolished the flag-flipping law without authorization? This is to dig into the foundation of our Qing Dynasty!"

Why do you say this?

The Manchus have always had one fear: fear of being driven back outside the customs.

They have become accustomed to the colorful world of the Central Plains.

No matter how bad the Eight Banners is, it is the only reliable army, and the Qing government will not give up on this team.

The Fleeing Flag Law is essentially to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners.

Apart from fighting, you will not be allowed to do anything else, so you can only think about going to the battlefield every day and thinking about how to kill people.

How can we survive there if there is no battle to fight? Doing business? Yes, if you do it small, you won’t make any money. If you do it big, if some Han people do something bad and report it, it will be the end of the world.

Learn a craft?

Disaster.

Because all walks of life are basically controlled by people from Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei, and they have no part in it.

Therefore, in the capital, there are many idiosyncratic craftsmanship, which are exclusive to the bannermen and have been passed down to later generations.

Zhao Chuanxin repealed the flag evasion law for two reasons. One was that local bannermen moved around at will, and the other was that bannermen from other places fled to the Lubinfu area and were pardoned for all crimes. As long as they could survive and reach the Lubinfu area safely to report.

Aixinjueluo Zaifeng could imagine how many low-level bannermen would be ready to take action if this news spread.

Isn’t this digging out the roots of the Qing Dynasty?

Damn it, it’s called autonomy, but you really fucking dare to be autonomous?

There were many Eight Banners nobles who thought the same thing as him.

If he could curse people to death, Zhao Chuanxin would probably have to give birth to hundreds or thousands of babies by now.

The form and content of the Lubin Mansion Consultative Bureau were inspiring, and people from all walks of life across the country were discussing it during this period.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was far away in Lubin Mansion, gained a lot of power of faith.

He was so happy.

In the middle of the night, he hurriedly went to Zhang Shouzeng and said, "He Yan, continue to call reporters. We must let the whole country know what our Lubin Mansion is doing, and know that the Consultative Council is not a decoration."

Zhang Shouzeng was surprised: "Sir, why is this?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhao Chuanxin smiled from ear to ear, almost reaching behind his ears.

Even at night, the power of faith is endless.

He could imagine that after the news spread that this was the Council, many people could not sleep at night.

Especially the lower-level bannermen who couldn't survive. After hearing the news, they must have been so excited that they couldn't sleep, thinking about how to escape to Lubin Mansion.

The Advisory Bureau attracted national attention and had great influence.

It's really thanks to Aixinjueluo Zaifeng who sent it to slap him in the face, otherwise it may not have this effect.

Before Zhao Chuanxin left, he specifically asked: "He Yan, I remember that you wanted to take note of Japan and Russia's condemnation? It will be a few days later. Let's wait until the wave subsides before condemning. Don't rush it at this moment." "

"Ah?" Zhang Shouzeng was confused: "The official thought that we should mobilize the people's emotions while the heat has not subsided."

"No, no, no." Zhao Chuanxin knew that the power of faith has an upper limit: "We must wait until the news subsides before condemning. When condemning, there must be reporters present to take notes."

Because he can predict the faces of Japan and Russia.

At this time, everyone's emotions were aroused and there was another wave of enthusiasm. Maybe he wouldn't have to worry about the power of faith within half a year.

Because of the hallucination of watching the Fearless Vanguard dog thing, Zhao Chuanxin was so excited that he made Rebecca Levi busy at night.

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin discovered that a large number of the power of faith had spread overseas, and he knew that the news had reached overseas Chinese.

OK OK.

Just after he took office, Zhang Shouzeng came in a hurry: "Sir, good news, people with lofty ideals all over the country and overseas have sent congratulatory messages."

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed.

It was not because he had done anything extraordinary, but because someone had sent a gimmick.

He didn't even look at it, and immediately said: "Quick, give these congratulatory messages to reporters from all over the country and let them publish them."

Zhang Shouzeng: "..."

Is that your reaction?

Nonsense.

Zhao Chuanxin must use everything he can to harvest this wave of hard-earned traffic.

He rubbed his chin and thought: Advisory Council, condemnation, what else can continuously mobilize the national sentiment?

Yes, Sakhalin Island.

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to go to Sakhalin Island in the near future, but now it seems that he can't rush it.

The first wave of traffic is over, and the second wave will start immediately.

When the public sentiment is mobilized, Lubin Prefecture pretends to be helpless, and the people will naturally be frustrated.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin went to Sakhalin Island again, which was the third wave of traffic.

With these three waves of traffic, Zhao Chuanxin had a year's worth of faith.

Zhao Chuanxin was excited for a whole day.

The nouveau riche mentality prompted him to even want to teleport to The Hague to see his daughter Zhao Lingjun.

But impulsive decisions usually make people regret, and Zhao Chuanxin forced himself to hold back.

At night, he returned to the mountainside cabin and was about to refresh the "Old God Code" to calm his mood. At this time, something knocked on the window.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up and was startled. He didn't know when there was a camel outside the window.

How did the camel get here?

He looked more closely and found that the camel was grinning at him through the window.

It was a bit creepy at night...
