Chapter 23 I'm a little nervous
The spies in Yongzhou are rampant, and I am now in the same boat with Feng Tiankui. What if the plot changes!
This ancient city covered with blue bricks and gray tiles can be transformed into a battlefield for assassination!
We have to act in advance and seize the advantageous terrain!
There are a lot of front teeth near the city gate, all of whom are guys who make a living by deceiving outsiders!
The professional ethics are far worse than those of the real estate agents in later generations!
This group of people occasionally do some cheating and deceiving activities. Zhou Xiaoshan, who was wearing a captain's military uniform, took out his pistol to play with it, which scared several front teeth so much that they worked honestly. Some sellers who were interested in selling their houses were pointed out on the map of Yongzhou drawn by Zhou Xiaoshan!
Front Teeth also took him to the two places he liked!
In the end, I spent fifteen dollars to buy one!
Zhou Xiaoshan was very dissatisfied!
At this time, houses in Sichuan are so damn cheap. Once the Anti-Japanese War breaks out, the prices will rise to sky-high levels!
Just show off and point out some of the better houses that can be sold in Yongzhou!
I bought three houses with unique features in one go!
It cost a full one hundred and eighty dollars!
Finding people, signing contracts, finding a notary, declaring a name change, there were so many things to do, and Front Teeth was the one who helped with all of it!
Zhou Xiaoshan found that these front teeth were very sharp. They were familiar with the one in Yongzhou City, especially the one named Shunzi. He threw a dollar to him and almost kowtowed to him. He thought he could have a chance to work for him!
There are still three hundred and twenty left. In this era, money really has weight when used. Two are more than one or two taels, and twenty are one kilogram. If someone wants to give himself ten thousand dollars, five hundred kilograms, no one can carry it!
For the rest, go to Chengdu and Chongqing to buy houses, as they have higher investment value!
As for the glass and penicillin that I had been thinking about, now that I had been promoted to captain and deputy battalion commander, with a monthly salary of seven oceans, it was enough for laboratory-scale production!
Don’t underestimate the seven oceans; they are hard currency. In Sichuan at that time, prices were shockingly cheap!
One dollar can buy more than 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of pork. When I was studying in Chengdu, the average monthly living expenses of my classmates was about a little more than one dollar!
He also wanted to ask Men Ya to take him to see if there were several commanding heights near Feng Mansion that could be rented, but he didn't expect Chu Tianshu to show up with his soldiers !
Block him on the street!
Luo Jialie went to the guard camp and scolded Chu Tianshu!
Although I asked this kid to buy a house, it’s not today!
He also has to cook fish for the Marshal and have a chat at night!
Why do you just give him a holiday and let him, a wounded soldier, run around aimlessly in Yongzhou city!
Looking at Chu Tianshu with a gloomy face, Zhou Xiaoshan chuckled and thought, well, now he doesn't have to carry the remaining ten pounds of silver dollars by himself. He called a soldier to help carry the money bag, and went back with him!
At night, they walked to the familiar third company headquarters. There were hundreds of people there, and Luo Jialie actually drove Chu Tianshu out to check the sentry!
Zhou Xiaoshan smiled!
The headquarters has a generator and searchlights installed around it. Feng Tiankui spent all his money to buy these, but they are rarely used!
The Marshal is in Yongzhou these days, so he must open it to show off!
Liu Xiang, Feng Tiankui and several other senior generals of the 66th Division, including three brigade commanders, were all there, gathered around Marshal Liu, sitting in front of the blackboard, listening to this kid talking!
"Oh my, I see the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief are all here. I'm nervous!"
As soon as the crowd made way for him, Zhou Xiaoshan confidently walked up to the podium, said something, turned around and left!
"Let me pee first!"
The soldiers had long been accustomed to Zhou Xiaoshan's way of humor, and they burst into laughter. Even Liu Xiang smiled and ordered Feng Tiankui to bring this kid back to him!
Luo Jialie and Qin Guohua captured the man personally, for they were afraid that these heavy-handed soldiers would not take the seriousness of the situation seriously and tear the wound on Zhou Xiaoshan's back!
Zhou Xiaoshan shook his throat and wrote a few words on the blackboard!
Sodium chloride, salt, soil-eating nation, Fan Xudong!
"We Sichuanese love to cook, and Sichuan cuisine is the best in the world! But what must be added when cooking?"
It’s all fucking written on it. The literate soldiers all shouted, even Feng Tiankui, Liu Xiang, Luo Jialie and a group of senior Sichuan Army generals followed suit!
"Salt!"
"Oh, right, salt. If you don't eat salt, your muscles will dissolve in twelve days, and your whole body will become weak. In a month, you will die. Do you know why?"
At this moment, the place was very quiet. Even senior generals such as Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui, although they had the answer in their hearts, did not say it!
"That's because salt contains sodium chloride, an ingredient that the human body must supplement!"
Seeing Zhou Xiaoshan write the English name of sodium chloride (Sodium chloride) on the blackboard and read it out loud, Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui's eyes shrank!
This bastard boy actually knows English!
When necessary, ask him to translate materials and deal with foreigners!
"In Europe, the foreigners strictly control the quality of salt because salt contains too many impurities. Eating salt will affect people's health. In other words, it is easy to get sick! Therefore, the foreigners set a standard that if the sodium chloride content is less than 75%, or less than 75% in Chinese, it is called refined salt. It is not allowed to be sold on the market! It is not even allowed to be fed to livestock!"
Seeing the soldiers nodding one after another, Zhou Xiaoshan continued speaking!
"Before the Republic of China, except for Sichuan, most of China ate coarse salt, that is, sea salt! Do you know how much sodium chloride it contains?"
Not only were the soldiers shaking their heads, even Liu Xiang, who relied on salt to provide blood transfusions to the army, was shaking his head!
"Less than 50 percent!"
Zhou Xiaoshan wrote less than half, and about fifty percent, of the words on the blackboard, and there was an exclamation from the entire guard camp!
"Lianzuo, are you saying that the salt we Chinese eat is not even used to feed livestock?"
"We are so far behind!"
"As much as I hate to say it, it's the truth!"
Zhou Xiaoshan drew several lines under the word "earth-eating nation" on the blackboard!
"So, in addition to calling us yellow-skinned monkeys, pigs, and the sick man of East Asia, those foreigners have a new nickname: the earth-eating nation! They say that we Chinese grew up eating mud!"
A soothing tone, filled with reluctance and sadness!
The guards camp were filled with indignation. Even Liu Xiang clenched his fists and smashed them hard on his legs!
"However, there is a Chinese who fought hard and spent all his wealth to change this situation. Who is this person? He is the protagonist of our Dragon Gate Formation today, Fan Xudong!"
"good!"
"good!"
The hundreds of people present all stood in unison and even applauded!
"Fan Xudong, originally not called Fan Xudong, but Fan Yuanrang, with the courtesy name Mingjun. We can also call him Fan Mingjun. He is from Xiangyin, Hunan! Because of his brother, he was taken to Tsinghua Japanese Language School to study. He originally studied medicine, because medicine and pharmacy are inseparable. In the 14th year of the Guangxu period, he was admitted to the best university in the East, Kyoto University, to study chemical engineering! This person has a strong sense of patriotism. After entering the university, he changed his name to Fan Rui, with the courtesy name Xudong. Therefore, when we see Fan Xudong in the newspaper, we are referring to this person!"
Zhou Xiaoshan took a sip of water and continued speaking!
"Fan Xudong is a very good student. In Sichuan dialect, he is a top scholar. In Japan, where there are so many talented people, he was invited to study at Tokyo University right after he graduated in the second year of Xuantong. What did he do? He stayed at the university to teach!"
