I Have a Martial Arts World

v1 Chapter 10: Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau

The two came to Wangping Street, known as the "News Street".

This place is much more prosperous. I saw newspaper offices lined up on both sides of the road, and the news vendors shouted one after another.

You can also see trams. The speed of the car is so slow that one can jump into the car at any time. The tram uses bells instead of horns, and the bells whistle away.

The people who come and go wear fashionable clothes, mostly Western-style clothes and dresses, and there are also cheongsams with high slits.

Women in this world wear two extremes, either very retro and conservative, with no skin exposed; or they are unusually open, revealing their thighs and hemispheres.

Liao Qi looked at the bright and bright streets full of envy. Although her strong suit is very showy, it is a little rustic.

~~~~~~~~~

After criticizing the decline of the world, Lu Yao went to the newspaper office and ordered four newspapers in one go, "Shenzhou Daily", "Current Affairs News", "Overseas Daily", and "Business Daily".

Everything from current affairs news to entertainment gossip and even business information. Newsboys will deliver to your door every day.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two were about to return when Lu Yao suddenly noticed that many people were pointing around the notice board.

The government will set up notice boards and post notices in crowded places. I don't know what big news is at this time.

As soon as the two approached, they heard scolding:

"The tax has been increased again! The imperial court is trying to force us to death!"

"I heard that the queen mother has to live her life, so the tax is increased."

"Absurd! The imperial court paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to foreigners in order to seek peace and cede land! This temptress actually has the face to live her life!"

"It's either a war or a disaster outside, and it's 60 years old, bah!"

The two also saw the scolded tax increase notice, Liao Qi frowned and said, "I don't know what the imperial court is thinking, the world is getting more and more chaotic."

Lu Yao said in a low voice, "The country will perish, and the land is full of absurdities."

He has a relatively good understanding of this history, which is a modern history that must be tested in the college entrance examination.

But the more I understand, the more chilling I feel. After all, I am in the midst of this chaotic trend.

I don't know how the script will be different in a world with extraordinary power.

~~~~~~

At this time, the crowd gathered around the notice board, shouting and scolding incessantly.

A middle-aged man sighed with a complex expression of shame, shame, and annoyance.

This person is wearing a brocade robe and looks like a wealthy member, but his aura is extremely fierce, and he is not angry.

After Liao Qi noticed him, she shouted in surprise, "Master Du!"

The middle-aged man looked over, forced a smile on his face, and nodded in greeting.

Liao Qi also just clasped her fists and saluted, without passing.

The interaction between the two attracted the attention of the people beside them. When the few people who were scolding Zhenghuan just now saw Master Du, their expressions suddenly changed dramatically, and they rushed into the crowd and disappeared.

Master Du ignored them, came to the notice board in person, and posted a brand new notice.

Seeing the words above - To enrich the country and strengthen the soldiers, learn from the barbarians and control the barbarians, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is now set up... Now we are recruiting people from Tan Si, smart craftsmen, learning advanced Western technology, and trial-building ships and artillery...

The crowd watched curiously. As soon as Lu Yao saw the familiar "Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau", he immediately reacted. This is the famous Westernization Movement!

The Dashun Dynasty at this time was very similar to the Blue Star's last dynasty. After successive defeats in foreign wars, ceding land several times and paying indemnities, some rulers recognized the power of the Western cannons and began to learn advanced technology!

Master Du put up the notice and said aloud:

"This official, Du Wenlan, is currently the 'General Office' of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. As the notice says, there is an urgent need for skilled craftsmen and insightful people who are familiar with foreign technology! Those who contribute to the country will be generously rewarded by the court!"

Having said that, he bowed his hands to the crowd and rushed to the next place with his entourage.

Whether it's a show or a real thirst for talent, the attitude is expressed, causing everyone to discuss for a while:

"I heard that several adults in the DPRK wanted to 'learn the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians'. I didn't expect to set up the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau so soon."

"Fuzhou has also set up a ship administration bureau, and it is estimated that a naval division will be built."

"It's easy to say anything, just drive away all the foreigners!"

~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao and Liao Qi did not continue to watch the fun, but hurried home. At this time, it was getting dark and it was getting dark, so don't count on the security in the city.

On the way, Lu Yao asked curiously, "By the way, do you know that Master Du?"

Liao Qi was about to answer when a gentle voice came: "Let me tell you."

As soon as the voice fell, a slender figure descended from the sky, it was Liao Ya.

"You two haven't come back for so long, I don't feel relieved to come out and see. Have you met Mr. Du?"

Liao Qi said obediently: "Well, he is now the general office of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau."

Liao Ya nodded and said to Lu Yao, "In those days, Master Du and my father were working under Master Lin on errands, and they experienced the 'sale of cigarettes', so they had some incense."

"So it is." Only then did Lu Yao understand.

But Liao Ya then said: "Speaking of this, there is one more thing you must know - don't go near the pier, we have enemies!"

"Ah? What kind of enemy?"

Liao Ya narrowed her eyes and said solemnly: "When following Lord Lin to sell cigarettes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com's father offended countless opium smuggling gangs, including the Hailong Gang! The Hailong Gang used opium to harm countless people, and even colluded. The foreigners of the opium company set up an ambush to kill Daddy!"

Speaking of this, the girl gasped for a few times, and it was difficult for her to calm down.

"This hatred is never shared by the sky! The Hailong Gang has always wanted to trouble our sisters because of the heavy losses. But they dare not enter the state capital, so as long as they don't go to the wharf, they will be fine."

Lu Yao said, "I see, Senior Sister. Your hatred is mine, and you can speak up if you need anything!"

Liao Ya's serious expression disappeared, and she said softly: "You let me take tonic every day until I'm full, that's the biggest help. Only with great martial arts can I take revenge."

Liao Qi interjected: "Sister, you are only 17 years old. With Lu Yao's help, you will be able to wash the marrow and even change blood before the age of 20!"

"Don't just point at me, you can't slack off! Double the time to practice boxing starting tomorrow!"

Liao Ya set a target, Liao Qi regretted it with a bitter face - why did she talk too much.

~~~~~~~

After returning to the gym, Lu Yao asked Liao Qi curiously, "Your sister is only 17 years old, how old are you?"

The girl replied, "Me? I'm 14, what's wrong?"

Lu Yao was shocked: "No, nothing, just ask..."

14 is like this! The two sisters are tall and slender, and they look at them at the same level, and their figures are even more protruding forward and backward, and even the weak can be aroused by worldly desires.

Lu Yao couldn't help sighing: People who practice martial arts have developed really well!

Then he glanced at the Cordyceps he bought and decided to go back as soon as possible to get the money.

So he said to Liao Qi, "I'll go back and get something. I won't sleep here at night. By the way~ What size shoes do you two wear? Tell me about the measurements too."
