The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

When Zhao Chuanxin took out the device known as Thor's Hammer with a key, he realized that this thing was actually of little use.

This is a bracelet with a leather chain and a metal shell covered with a devil's crystal.

There are three small buttons, one to generate ball lightning, one to lock the target and activate the button, and one to store energy.

The general principle is related to microwave radiation. It takes one to two seconds to generate ball lightning, and the speed of launching and tracking the target is far less than the speed of bullets.

That is to say, the steps of the attack are as follows: form ball lightning, determine the target on the devil crystal, track it, hit the target and break the balance in the surrounding air to release energy!

This process may take several seconds.

This is no different from the forward swing to release a skill. If it is really used on the battlefield, you may be shot and killed before it is released.

Therefore, there is no way for weirdos to use it to attack those war creations on a large scale!

But simple rewards for simple tasks are no big deal.

[I arrived at the weirdo’s house. The remnants of biotechnology here have long since left, leaving only ruins. I saw his laboratory and most of the instruments were badly damaged. 】

[Back at the goblin's house, I informed the weirdo of the situation. 】

[The weirdo looked disappointed: My experimental notes and my research results were all there, and now they are destroyed. what do I do? Yes, I want revenge! I still have the Devil's Crystal, I'm going to make weapons, follow in the footsteps of the remnants of biotechnology and make them pay!

Explorer, would you like to help me rebuild the laboratory? If you are willing, I will definitely not treat you badly! 】

This made Zhao Chuanxin hesitate.

Rebuilding the laboratory must take a lot of time.

This is a long-term mission.

But now the world is not peaceful like the earth, and it seems that this simple task is also a good choice.

So I agree!

Close the diary and go to sleep!

…

At this time, the Japanese army was driving the Chinese to demolish their houses and cut down trees to build forts, dig trenches, and build roads.

A middle-aged man's eyes turned red when he looked at the demolished home and the food taken away.

He snapped: Are you beasts still human? The Russians didn't demolish our houses when they passed by.

The Russians took away their food last time.

The Japanese officer with a mustache took out his saber and stabbed the middle-aged man in the abdomen from the side: Baga, kill all those who disobey! In wartime, naturally everything must serve the war. After the war, we will I will compensate you greatly. But please don’t hinder the progress of the project now!”

The people around him cast hostile glances at him, but that was all. They dared not speak out in anger.

Someone whispered: I want to join the anti-Russian armed forces! I want to kill these foreigners and Japanese!

Another person whispered: Why don't you vote for Du Lizi from Liaoxi? He will dare to fight against the Japanese!

Hey, my family is gone. You bachelors can live in the mountains. How will our whole family deal with it? I'd better run away with my family! I received a letter from a relative, saying that there is a place called Lugangling Village that is very good. Yes, I went to build a house for the distribution tools and farm the land!

That's good too!

…

Lugangling Village is no longer called a village, but a town!

There are no official administrative divisions. Zhao Chuanxin made the changes himself.

There are so many people that it is no longer appropriate to call it a village.

Moreover, it is simply called Lugang Town, which is easy to remember with few characters.

From now on, this place will be called Lugang City!

A huge pine flower stone stands in the center of the town, with the three characters of Lugang Town carved by Zhao Chuanxin himself.

As for whether the Qing court recognized it?

Haha, those idiots heard that the people in the Northeast region spontaneously organized to resist Japan and Russia, and issued an order: Strictly order the local government to strictly guard against the people and effectively suppress them!

People are arrogant and waging war on your land, but you turn around and suppress your own people.

This decree also arrived in the city, and Zhao Chuanxin received the news immediately.

Then he immediately changed Lugangling Village into Lugang Town.

County magistrate?

He's going to give it a try?

You don’t have the guts to know!

The public security station was built, and Zhao Chuanxin set it up as his office with great fanfare.

From now on, the insurance team will all work here.

All security and dispute issues can be resolved here, and security teams armed with live ammunition are dispatched at any time.

Zhao Chuanxin also invited several experienced government officials, who turned into policemen at the public security station.

The police are responsible for civil disputes, and the insurance team is equivalent to the armed police. When they are dispatched, violent incidents usually occur.

There are three office areas in the public security station, one for the police and one for the insurance team, and one for the scholars recruited by Liu Baogui to be responsible for the classification of files and records and accounting matters.

Of course, Zhao Chuanxin does not collect taxes.

If the name is not justified, the tax cannot be collected.

However, residents of Lugang Town do not need to pay land tax to the government.

Although he does not collect taxes, Zhao Chuanxin collects insurance premiums.

Insurance premiums are only collected from commercial establishments in Lugang Town now and in the future, and the money received is used to maintain the operation of the security station.

Nowadays, the business in Lugang Town is a joke to outsiders. There are only Liu Baogui’s “department store”, Zhang Daquan’s barber shop, Er Feizi’s grain store, Shuangxi’s teahouse, Zhu Jianye’s construction team, Zhou Hongkun’s red brick kiln... …

You haven’t made any money yet, so how can you collect insurance premiums?

Currently, Zhao Chuanxin pays for the salaries of everyone at the Public Security Station out of his own pocket.

Sitting on the office chair of the police station, Zhao Chuanxin lit up a cigar and puffed away: What are you all doing with such sad faces?

Shuangxi said: Isn't it a joke to open a teahouse here? How can anyone come to drink tea?

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the cigarette ashes: I told you to start eating and drinking, but who asked you to open a teahouse? But if you open it, you will open it. Sooner or later there will be rich people. If you open another steamed bun shop or something, you are guaranteed to make money. !”

Shuangxi's eyes lit up.

The second fat man said: My grain store doesn't make much money. I don't even have money to buy grain. But there are people walking around the grain store every day. I'm really afraid that these people will get hungry and come to snatch it!

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhao Chuanxin emphasized: We must increase employment opportunities. Look at Zhu Jianye, isn't he making money with his family? Don't hide everyone's money. It's time to build a house. Those who should marry a wife should marry a wife, and the money will be spent. Only when others earn money can the money flow.

Only Zhang Daquan said happily: My Dazhu has started to give people haircuts. They are not as good as those who pay the salary, but there are people every day, and I charge less, and they are all willing to come for haircuts.

His small house was designed to be quite bright. He bought large pieces of glass for the windows and a lot of small mirrors to put in the house. We have started recruiting apprentices now, and they will definitely make money in the future.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: Don't worry, where are you? Zhu Jianye needs manpower, and Zhou Hongkun's red brick kiln also needs manpower. Everyone works to make money, and of course they have to spend money. Don't you still believe me?

Liu Baogui was still calm, and he nodded: Yes, that's the truth. The groceries I open, no, it's a department store. I'm not in a hurry. I'll be able to sell things slowly. What's this called? What's it about? Yes, all businesses are waiting to flourish! By the way, Boss Chen Daguang and Chen from the city also want to open a shop here!

When everyone heard that Chen Daguang was coming to operate here, they were all excited.

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said: Look, a big boss who has been in business for many years, this is called discernment. Everyone is optimistic about our Lugang Town, what are you afraid of?

Yeah, then there's nothing to worry about.

Emma, ​​it turns out that Chen Daguang is also optimistic about us?

Zhao Chuanxin had no expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

This is a double act, no, a triple act that he sang with Liu Guogui and Chen Daguang.

Chen Daguang did come to open a shop, but not voluntarily, just to give Zhao Chuanxin a face.

And what Liu Guoguo said casually was naturally intentional, just to give everyone confidence.

The effect is awesome!

Just as he was talking, another group of refugees came to report.

The Japanese demolished our houses to build forts and robbed our food. If we didn't agree, they killed people and cut open the stomachs of pregnant women...

A grown man cried miserably. While weeping, he told about the disasters that the war had brought to them.

After hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin felt his scalp numb, and he couldn't bear his temper anymore!

What a bastard. If I don't kill a few little Japanese, I'm really going to find it hard to get over this!
