10. Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau

The two came to Wangping Street, which is known as "a street in newspaper office".

It was much more prosperous here, and newspapers were lined up on both sides of the road, and newspaper vendors shouted one after another.

You can also see trams. The speed is very slow, so people can jump onto the car at any time. The tram uses bells instead of horns, and whistle tiles away.

The crowds were fashionable, mostly Western-style clothing, dresses, and cheongsams with high slits.

Women in this world wear two extremes. They are either very retro and conservative, with no skin exposed; or they are extremely open, exposing their thighs, and the hemispheres are not taken seriously.

Liao Qi looked at the streets with bright and beautiful appearance and was envious. Although her strong outfit showed off her figure, she was a little rustic.

~~~~~~~~~~

After criticizing the world for a while, Lu Yao came to the newspaper office and ordered four newspapers in one go, "Shenzhou Daily", "Current Affairs New News", "Overseas Daily", and "Business Daily".

From current news to entertainment gossip, and even business information, there are everything. Newspapers will be delivered to their doors every day.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them were about to return, but 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. At this time, there is no big news.

As soon as the two approached, they heard a burst of scolding:

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

"I heard that the Empress Dowager is going to celebrate her birthday, so she increased the tax."

"Absurd! In order to seek peace, the court paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to foreigners! This witch still has the face to live a life of life!"

"Only fighting or suffering from disasters outside, I will give you a 60th birthday, I'll do you!"

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

Lu Yao whispered: "The country is about to perish, and the ground is full of absurdity."

He has a good understanding of this history, which is a must-have modern history in the college entrance examination.

But the more I understand, the more I feel sad. After all, I am in this chaotic trend.

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

~~~~~~

At this time, the crowd surrounded the notice board, screaming and scolding in anger.

A middle-aged man sighed with a complex look of shame, ashamed and annoyed look.

This man was wearing a brocade robe and dressed like a wealthy man, but his aura was extremely sharp and he was powerful without anger. At first glance, he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and there were several people who were guarding him by his side.

After Liao Qi paid attention to him, she shouted in surprise: "Mr. Du!"

The middle-aged man looked over and forced a smile on his face and nodded to greet him.

Liao Qi just bowed with her fists and did not go over.

The interaction between the two attracted the attention of the people around them. When a few people who were scolding him just now changed their faces when they saw Lord Du, their faces suddenly changed drastically and they flashed into the crowd in panic and disappeared.

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

I saw it that it was written on it - to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and to learn from the barbarians and control the barbarians, now set up the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau... Now recruiting men of Qin Si, wise and skillful craftsmen, learning advanced Western technologies, and trying to build ships and artillery...

Everyone was curious about watching. When Lu Yao saw the familiar "Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau", he instantly realized that this was the famous Westernization Movement!

At this time, the Dashun Dynasty was very similar to the last dynasty of Blue Star. Foreign wars suffered consecutive defeats and several times of cede land for compensation. Some rulers realized the power of Western strong ships and powerful cannons and began to learn advanced technology!

Lord Du posted the notice and said loudly:

"This official Du Wenlan is currently the 'General Officer' of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. As the notice said, it is urgently necessary for skilled craftsmen who are familiar with foreign skills and knowledgeable people! Those who contribute to the country will be rewarded by the court!"

After saying that, he bowed to the crowd and rushed to the next place with his entourage.

Whether it is a show or a real desire for talent, the attitude is expressed, which has caused a lot of discussion:

"I heard that several adults in the court wanted to 'learn masters to control the barbarians', but they didn't expect to set up the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau so soon."

"Fuzhou also set up a Shipbuilding Bureau, and it is estimated that it will build a naval commander."

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

~~~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao and Liao Qi did not continue to watch the fun, but hurried home. At this time, it was already declining and it was almost dark. Don’t count on public security in the city.

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

Liao Qi was about to answer when a gentle voice came: "I'll tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure fell from the sky, and it was Liao Ya.

"You two haven't come back for so long, so I'm not at ease to come out and take a look. Have you met Lord Du?"

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

Liao Ya nodded and said to Lu Yao: "At that time, Lord Du and his father were working under Lord Lin, and they experienced the 'scanning cigarettes', so they were a bit incense."

"So that's it." Lu Yao then understood.

But Liao Ya then said, "At this point, there is one more thing you must know - don't get close to the dock, we have enemies!"

"Ah? What enemy?"

Liao Ya glared at her eyes and said seriously: "When following Lord Lin to dispel cigarettes, my father offended countless opium gangs, including the Hailong Gang! The Hailong Gang used opium to harm countless people, and even colluded with the opium company to set up an ambush and killed his father!"

Speaking of this, the girl gasped for a few violent times and finally calmed down.

"This hatred is irreconcilable! The Hailong Gang has always wanted to cause trouble for our sisters because of the terrible losses. But they dare not enter the state capital, so it will be fine as long as they don't go to the dock."

Lu Yao said: "I know, senior sister. Your hatred is my hatred. Just talk if you need it!"

Liao Ya's serious expression disappeared and she said softly: "You let me take medicine every day to fill it, which is the greatest help. Only when you have great martial arts can you take revenge."

Liao Qi interrupted: "Sister, you are only 17 years old. With Lu Yao's help, you can definitely wash your marrow and even change your blood before you are 20 years old!"

"Don't just point at me, you can't slack off! The time you start practicing boxing tomorrow will double!"

Liao Ya set the indicators, and Liao Qi regretted with a bitter face - why did she talk too much?

~~~~~~~~

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

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

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

14 It looks like this! The two sisters are tall, both looking at themselves, and their figures are even more protruding. Even people with weak bodies can be aroused by worldly desires.

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh: Those who practice martial arts are developing so well!

Then he looked at the Cordyceps he bought and decided to go back as soon as possible to get the money done.
Chapter completed!
