Chapter 365: Kitchen Knife Four
Chapter 365 Kitchen Knife Four
The meeting is over, it's sunset.
Hongshan Shipyard is extremely powerful. Just a few hundred meters away from the shipyard’s gate, there is a small town that relies on more than a dozen large shipyards on the north bank. On the side, there are row upon row of buildings with rich and exotic style, various shops are lined up, and the commerce is quite prosperous.
This small town is called "Dachuan Town", with a permanent population of more than 80,000 people. There are 11 ferries going to and from the passenger terminal on the south bank of Honghegu City every day.
This is a newly emerging town, originating from the rapid expansion of the Red River Valley. The backbone shipyard headed by the Red Hill Shipyard was moved to the north bank of the Brisbane River. Many other private shipyards have moved, and it has taken shape within a few years. A thriving town.
The main residents in the town are the middle and lower management supervisors, technicians and various general workers in the nearby shipyards. There are also many downstream ship manufacturers, sellers, shops dealing in daily necessities and the thriving entertainment industry. The average residents The income is higher than that of Red River Valley City, and it is an out-and-out industrial town.
Whenever night comes
Dachuan Town will present a bizarre and prosperous scene. There are dozens of brothel brothels, bright treatments and dark prostitution, many restaurants and tea houses, and several large-scale theaters. The entertainment industry is abnormally prosperous.
is on the same north bank of the Brisbane River, and the town of Big Ship is less than 20 kilometers apart from the town of North Shore. The two seem to be outside the same world.
One is messy and dirty, one is prosperous, one night is full of silence, one is like a city that never sleeps, one smells like the sky, the other smells good, the street is full of cowboys with the smell of sheep dung and cow urine, and the other is well-dressed red men and green women, farmers and herdsmen There is a clear distinction between industrial towns and industrial towns.
After the meeting
Li Fushou led a group of military and politicians back to the city on the "Cuckoo" battleship, while He Fang and others continued to stay in Dachuan Town, where there is a luxurious mansion dedicated to VIPs at the Hongshan Shipyard, and the nightlife is nothing more prosperous. The urban area is inferior.
After nightfall, walk in the town of Big Ship
The signboards on both sides of the street are set against the lights, giving a feeling of a bustling small city, "Rongchang Ship Trading Company", "Fushenghao Gold Shop", "Jinmen Grand Theater", "Huancui Building", "Fuxiang Pavilion", and "Shun". Dachang Anchor Chain Firm" "Yihonglou" "Xiangmantian Restaurant"...
If you pay attention, you can find more interesting signs;
Please run fast, the new Malay girl with white teeth and red lips is enchanting.
One shilling per minute, Yan Shou Huan Fei chooses.
Full of South Pacific island country style, large quantity, good price and affordable.
Great Yangmar Nantai sister, all one shilling
There are countless advertising signs with various implied meanings. With the army attacking the city in front, a large number of young and beautiful Bornean women appeared on the Australian market. They even promoted the unprecedented prosperity of the entertainment industry. Many people took this to post. A lot of money.
The 4-member Chopper Team Zhao Qishan, Mai Guangtian, Ma Limin, and Lu Qiang, who was injured twice, walked on the street. They looked around and looked excited. Lu Qiang smiled even more wretchedly; It's cheap, just say this place is good, right?"
"It's really good. It's a hundred times stronger than the ghost place in Bei'an Town. When we lived in the North Shore Market, the windows couldn't be opened. The horse dung and sheep smelt hurts our heads. Even the local women have that smell on their bodies. Nothing!" Ma Limin opened his mouth and smiled very happily.
"No matter what you plan, I'm going to buy a few beautiful young Bornean women to go back. The ranch is full of men. Those **** and hired workers look at my wife with wrong eyes."
"It makes sense, we didn’t expect it before! We have to buy some women to go back and adjust, even if we can help with some work, we don’t need this money anyway."
"I knew there was such a good place, didn't we come here early?"
"I really envy, when will our Qingdao town become so prosperous?"
"Stop, stop...Everyone..."
Hearing the talk of the brothers, Lu Qiang walked forward with his chest folded and waved his hand to several people; "Brothers, I have lived in the courtyard of Lu Qiang for a few months, and I have also made two very good friends. Energetic patients, none of what you said is a problem. Borneo women can buy one for a dozen pounds. They are all young and beautiful girls, um... I will introduce you to you later. There is everything insider information about the future development of Qingdao Town, what I didn’t say... Brothers who play today are all mine, even if I let them go."
This bold breath caused everyone to laugh.
After the serial assassinations on Central Street, Lu Qiang was sent to the hospital after being shot twice in the body. This time he was shot in the leg much more severely than the last time. The shot in the abdomen was extremely dangerous, and he almost never survived the infection. Guan, lay in the hospital for more than three months before recovering.
Zhao Qishan and others returned to Qingdao after Lu Qiang passed the dangerous period. The affairs of their respective private ranch were very complicated. There were so many new sheep and calves in the ranch, and dozens of hired workers were added. They all counted on it. Old Mike and Harrison were unrealistic.
Three months later
The third shearing season of this year is over, and everything in the private ranch is on track. Zhao Qishan and others came to Red River Valley again with three goals;
First, Lu Qiang’s private ranch is taken care of by his brothers. They also brought all the income of more than 800 pounds they received during the third shearing season. A group of 4 people with a whole kitchen knife.
Secondly, four people made great contributions in the serial assassinations on Central Street. The police department will strongly commend them, and the details will not be known until after seeing them.
Thirdly, I have some money in my hands. My brothers still want to buy some more lambs to expand the herd. Who would think that the rancher would think he has too much money?
I came to Dachuan Town this time, and a new idea emerged in the hearts of the brothers;
Anyway, Nantai women are young, beautiful and cheap. It’s better to buy a few and take them home. You can do laundry and cook in the ranch to serve the housewives, or farm, milk, and clean the yard. They are pleasing to the eye, and occasionally you can steal some fishy meat. Anyway, it is very cost-effective.
The pasture is so large and sparsely populated, it’s not a big deal to raise a few more people, even if it’s just a bit more popular.
In a separate box in Jinmen Grand Theater
Lu Qiang introduced a gentleman and generous person to the brothers. This person is indeed Tang Shaoyi, the secretary next to Lord Earl, who is what Lu Cheng calls the patient.
By coincidence, Tang Shaoyi was also injured in this incident.
After the greeting, several people took their seats.
Ma Limin is the most anxious. He just heard Lu Qiang say that there is inside information about Qingdao Town, where can he be restrained; "Secretary Tang, you are a person close to Lord Earl, I heard that there is inside information, can you tell us brothers one time?"
"Hahaha...no inside information." Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly, and glanced at Lu Qiang with a faint look. He knew that this guy loves bragging, but he is an honest and enthusiastic person, so he continued; This is a proposal for the in-depth development of northern Queensland, and it is also one of the key tasks promoted by the State Self-Government Office in 1884. It contains many aspects and is a development plan that lasts for many years.
The plan will be implemented after the Lord Earl’s approval. The relevant internal documents have been sent to the various departments of the State Autonomous Office. The departments of transportation, reclamation, police, taxation, agriculture and animal husbandry and urban construction need to mobilize elites and promote them together.
Currently in the stage of preparation of the plan, the personnel selected by various departments are undergoing training, which is expected to start after October. You are not from the government system, and you don’t know much about this. "
A few people looked at each other with excitement. Everyone knows the prosperity of the towns in the southern part of the Red River Valley. In contrast, the towns in northern Queensland are like forgotten corners, and the development is far behind.
Take Qingdao Town as an example. It has been more than two years, but it has nearly 4,000 people and dozens of pastures. There is still only one street and a few taverns in the town. It can be really deserted.
The private rancher does make a lot of money, but there is nowhere to spend it.
Zhao Qishan graciously picked up the teapot, filled Tang Shaoyi's tea cup with water, and asked with a respectful smile; "Secretary Tang, our brothers are all rough men, and don’t know what planning means. You are Well-informed experts, please give us a pulse to see if our place can develop?"
"Brother Zhao, you don't have to be polite. I know that the four of your brothers are all good guys who stepped forward to see the unfairness, um...it is destined to be rich."
"Secretary Tang, what do you mean..."
"The four of you who brandished kitchen knives on Central Street to save are the Lord Earl. Your honorable Lord Earl always pays much attention to love, and of course you will be rewarded. The brothers are all easy to do, whether they are officials or business. Think about it... ...A slight leak between the fingers of the person above is enough to eat and wear for a lifetime." Tang Shaoyi took a sip of the tea cup as soon as he clicked.
The color of surprise flashed across the faces of the brothers. If it weren't for Tang Shaoyi sitting here, they would have jumped up in excitement.
In the hearts of everyone, the Lord Earl of Queensland is a god-like figure. Even if Zhao Qishan has served in the Dragoon Guard for many years, he has only glanced at it from a distance. In the impression, Lord Earl is tall and stylish and full of momentum.
Zhao Qishan has always been calm, and at this moment, he can't help his heart beating wildly.
At first, I just saw a gang of gangsters who dared to attack the Lord Earl’s car, and immediately there was a surge of blood, and I couldn’t care about anything. I saw a salesman carrying a burden on the roadside selling kitchen knives. He went up and grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed up...
He settled down a little bit, and said, "Don’t hide the secret from Secretary Tang’s laugh, I learned a few words when I was in Longqiwei. I don’t want to be an official or anything. As long as Lord Earl is safe and sound, thank goodness. He is a world of Chinese people, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"Yes, yeah, who dares to move Lord Earl, let's fight him to death."
"That would count me as a man. We heard from the newspaper that it was a bad thing done by Dutch ghosts. I want to take a gun and go to Borneo to kill these Dutch ghosts."
"Sunniang ball, I'm so courageous."
A few brothers slapped the table and yelled. It was really exciting. For example, Chinese immigrants in Queensland, there is no one who does not hate Dutch ghosts.
If it weren't for the barrier of the distant sea, it is estimated that thousands of indignant militiamen would spontaneously kill them. This is nothing false.
