Chapter 10 Foreign Education

Zhenyue Tower is the first place in Guangzhou. It has three floors high and magnificent. The golden lacquer sign is said to be written by the Grand Secretary of the Qianlong period. The dragon and phoenix dance add a bit of elegance. The guests entering and leaving are all high-ranking officials and nobles.

On the third floor, there are Gan characters. Outside the first room, several long men stood at the door with their chests and belly folded, each with arrogance on their faces. Looking at the look of the servants, you will know that the guests in the room must be very popular.

There are many delicious wines on the table. After all, in Shanghai, Ye Zhao was not addicted to foreigners who were addicted to taking advantage of the situation. Although Ye Zhao said it well, Bao Ling was even more alert and smiled and said, "The Lord of the Capital is the most enlightened official in your country that I have ever seen." He also said, "It seems that the Lord of the Constitution has to be mediated by the matter of entering the city."

The treaty to make Guangzhou a trade port for ten years has been signed, but merchants from all countries just can't enter Guangzhou City, so Bao Ling of course had to raise this topic.

Ye Zhao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "This is not something that I can do, but I don't worry, consul. I will definitely work with Ye Zhijun to plan for the plan, and I hope to open the Forbidden City as soon as possible."

Bao Ling sneered in his heart. It seemed that this governor was actually no different from other Qing officials.

Ye Zhao said sincerely, "Sir, I hope you can understand my difficulties. Believe me. I will never want to wait until your country quells the war in Crimea before we fight with me."

Bao Ling was stunned. At present, the call for tough demands to go to war with the Qing Dynasty is getting higher and higher, but I am afraid that after the war with Russia, a second war with this corrupt empire will be inevitable. The young official in front of him knows a lot about the outside world.

Bao Ling looked at Ye Zhao, but this person was about to reexamine.

"Since Lord Tuan doesn't want us to go to war again, I will wait and see. I hope Lord Tuan can bring me good news and it won't take too long."

Ye Zhao nodded: "It must."

Bao Ling then made a gesture to the officers and entourages sitting down in sequence, and said to Ye Zhao: "The instructor needs, I have helped you find two of them. The instructor can consider it and decide who can be competent." He said, "Have you seen the instructor?"

Both officers stood up and saluted Ye Zhao, claiming his rank name. One was Peter Jackson and the other was Andrew Johnson.

Andrew was more handsome than Peter, and although he saluted, his face was extremely arrogant.

After the two of them sat down, Bao Ling briefly introduced the resumes of Ye Zhao. Andrew was arrogant, indeed with his arrogant capital, and had a very brilliant experience. Not long ago, he made military achievements in the battle to wipe out a pirate in Malacca.

Ye Zhao nodded repeatedly and asked the two of them a few words. Andrew was concise and Peter spoke more. Ye Zhao looked at Peter and was about to speak again, but suddenly he saw Peter pulling out a piece of white paper from somewhere. He smiled and said, "Sir, there is a lot of knowledge involved in the military journey. Intelligence is also the key to determining the outcome of a war. And spreading secret intelligence is even more of a science. Can you tell me what is the difference between this piece of paper?"

Ye Zhao looked at him, smiling without saying a word.

Then Peter took out a small bottle of yellow liquid from his body, but he was ready. He reached out and dipped his finger in yellow potion, and applied it little by little to the white paper. Gradually, several lines of purple fonts appeared.

Peter smiled and said, "Sir, how about you?" He picked up the white paper with both hands, thinking that the Sir, would definitely take it in surprise. A trace of disdain flashed in Andrew's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Ye Zhao smiled: "If you look carefully, you can really see the traces. If you want to say secret letters, it is best to write with cobalt chloride solution. After drying, the handwriting will be revealed." Not to mention those who are majoring in chemistry, only these tricks can be understood by junior high school students or primary school students in later generations, but nowadays, iodine has been truly refined for only a few decades.

"Cobalt chloride?" Peter looked confused.

Ye Zhao smiled again and said, "If you want to talk about rice soup and iodine, it is actually not as fast and effort as my local method." Then he ordered the soldiers next to him: "Get white vinegar, and then use carrot peel to chop and boil water."

In a short while, Rui came in with white vinegar. Ye Zhao ordered people to take a pen and paper, dip it in white vinegar and write a few words on the paper, and put it aside.

When the carrot water was delivered, the white vinegar word was dry and there was basically no trace. Ye Zhao smiled and said to Ruisi: "Squirt water!"

Rui Si naturally followed the instructions of his master. Although the carrot water tasted badly, it filled a large mouthful of it and then sprayed it on the paper. There was no spray water bottle at present, but Rui Si's spraying technology was really good. Soon, red letters appeared on the paper.

The four great wonders of Rui picked up white paper and held it on his chest to show it to the foreigners, thinking that if you want to say that this is a flower, who can compare with my master?

Peter's face turned red a little. His show-off just now seemed childish and ridiculous, but who would have thought that there would be such talent in this backward country?

Andrew also looked surprised in his eyes. As for Bao Ling, he picked up the teacup when he saw this scene, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ye Zhao waved his hand, and the proud Ruisi retreated. The white paper and red letter were firmly held in his hand, as if he was some treasure.

Ye Zhao turned to Bao Ling and smiled and said, "Fireware Battalion Consultant, I am going to hire Mr. Peter Jackson."

When Peter was stunned, Andrew was even more surprised and his face was quite bad.

Bao Ling smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm just forgiving my own rudeness. Can you ask the Lord General to tell me why he hired Peter as his consultant?"

Peter also looked at Ye Zhao with confusion.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "If you talk about military knowledge, I really don't know which one is better or worse, but I know that Mr. Jackson is more suitable to stay. Because he is passionate about this job, he will be prepared for it. I believe that if he stays, he will devote himself to the training of the new army and will not let my expectations down." As he said that, he looked at Peter with a smile and said, "Peter, you will not disappoint me, right?"

Peter was excited for some reason, and he felt like he had met Bole. If you want to ask why he wanted this job at the beginning, it was naturally for salary, and it was a thousand taels of silver a year. For Peter, who was from a poor family, it was quite a income. He thought of a way to fight for it.

Who knew that in the end his performance seemed to have become a clown. When he was depressed, the young oriental official actually called for him to stay. Don't mention this surprise.

"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Tutor!" Peter stood up and gave a standard royal military salute, but this time, he was much more sincere.
