After getting up and washing up, Zhao Xin finally woke up a little. He regretted not eating a "Neptune Gold Bottle" or something in advance, even if he had eaten a raw egg in advance.
He really couldn't drink, especially if he encountered such high alcohol.
Wang Yuanfang was not doing well either. He woke up listless in the morning, with an expression like "I really shouldn't have come here."
In the morning, Zhao Xin and Wang Yuanfang endured their discomfort and signed a horse purchase agreement and a farm lease agreement with Andrew's uncle. Only then did Zhao Xin notice that old Igor, an inconspicuous little old man, actually had his own secretary and
Private lawyer.
The old man's secretary is really eye-catching, a bit like the beautiful prosecutor from Crimea. Unfortunately, Zhao Xin was still feeling sick in his stomach, so he was not in the mood to watch more.
After signing the agreement, Zhao Xin and Wang Yuanfang planned to go back to the guest room to have a rest before leaving for the airport in the afternoon. But then Andrew stopped Zhao Xin and said that they wanted to discuss something.
Well, for the sake of the horse he just bought, Zhao Xin kept it himself.
He originally thought it was about horses or the farm. But after Andrew led Zhao Xin to a small living room, he sat down and asked directly: "Zhao, first of all, I want to apologize to you. In fact, I was in the beer hall that day.
I saw it accidentally. So, do you still need weapons?"
Huh? Zhao Xin was stunned for a while and couldn't recover. He rubbed his forehead, pretending to have a headache, and thought for a while before asking: "What do you have?"
In fact, what Zhao Xin wants most is bullets. The bullets bought from Daniel are too expensive, and he currently has no other channel but to continue to place orders with Daniel. As for Brother Bao... Let's play for now, Zhao Xin doesn't plan to
provoke.
Andrew then introduced Zhao Xin to a large number of various types of weapons and accompanying ammunition.
Zhao Xin listened quietly. When he heard that Andrew had SKS, his heart moved. This weapon was exactly what he wanted.
Originally, he wanted to choose the Mosin Nagant, but he learned from Daniel that this thing has become a collectible on the other side of the ocean. The quality of a single piece is actually more than 1,000 yuan; and even SKS is 700 yuan.
Only the above can buy good ones. How can he accept this?
What was Andrew's quote? It was only 23% of the market price on the other side of the ocean, a thousand dollars. And in Andrew's introduction, besides bullets, there was one product that made him most excited.
"What? D30 122?" Liu Sheng's mind is now full of SKS.
"Cannon, howitzer." Zhao Xin said slowly.
"Huh?" Liu Sheng suddenly reacted, with a look of ecstasy on his face, and asked in surprise: "You mean...?"
Zhao Xin nodded and couldn't help but laugh.
"Who is this Andrew?" After Liu Sheng was happy, he finally thought of this question.
"Him? Hey, I later understood something from his words. He is just the white glove of old Igor." Zhao Xin took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued nonchalantly:
"As for the origin of that old Igor, I don't really care. The key is that we have established a cooperative relationship there, and we will always learn about it in the future."
"Lord! Lord!" Li Ji's hurried shouting sounded outside the car. Zhao Xin opened the curtains and looked around, only to see Li Ji being blocked by A Miao ten meters away, shouting loudly to his side.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xin opened the door and walked down.
"Master Sheng, Master Sheng wants to have a caesarean section to apologize!" Liji shouted regardless.
"Stupid!" Zhao Xin said coldly. "Where is he?"
"at the seaside!"
"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng also opened the door and walked out, asking Zhao Xin.
"A warrior has the bad habit of apologizing at every turn." Zhao Xin said coldly.
"Ah? Then I have to go see something." Liu Sheng raised his legs and started to leave.
Zhao Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and cursed: "Go and eat your crabs, don't make any more trouble. I can just go alone. When there are more people, who knows whether he will be more energetic."
Liu Sheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He didn't have a good impression of the island country's samurai. After hearing what Zhao Xin said, he simply stopped caring about it and went to the kitchen with a large bag of crabs and prawns, ready to serve people.
Clean it up.
Zhao Xin once read this passage in a book before, "Peel away the skin of the Russians, and there are Tatars inside; peel off the skin of the English, and there are pirates inside. Then peel off the skin of the Japanese, and there is Bushido inside."
.”
He was very curious at the time and guessed that the scholar who said this must be a guy from across the ocean. So what would it be like to scratch the surface of these people? Are they rogues? Zhao Xin feels that reality has proven it.
In fact, during the early and middle development of "Bushido" in the island country, especially after the Edo period (the end of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century), the theories of two people profoundly affected the subsequent evolution. These are Yamaga Moyuki and Yamamoto.
Chang Chao.
The representative work of Yamaga Sokyo's school is "Yamaga Yulei". Its theory is to seek the basis for the existence of samurai through Confucianism, and to use the image of a gentleman in Confucianism to transform samurai into a new image of "a gentleman", that is, the unity of soldiers and Confucianism.
Yamaga Soyuki's point of view is that in order to successfully achieve the goal of loyalty, one must think deeply, plan carefully, be strong and patient, and use military science. Even if the samurai himself is captured alive, he will not give up his life easily until the goal of loyalty is successfully achieved.
The representative work of Yamamoto Tsunetomo's school is "Hagakure Wenshu". By profoundly revealing Bushido's view of life and death, it shows that Bushido means seeing through death. The theory of warriors of this school is called "the original stream of Bushido".
However, the "spiritual preparation for death" praised by Yamamoto Tsunetomo's group is completely opposite to Yamaga Soyuki's ideas. This so-called "spiritual preparation for death" is also called "the spirit of death madness". He calls this "death madness"
"Crazy spirit" is called "reckless recklessness". In his opinion, this kind of "recklessness" is the essential way of survival for a warrior; the so-called "no thought of victory or defeat, no two, no three, one thought of mad death" means running from the very beginning.
Charge towards death.
In fact, the starting point of the above two schools is the same. Being loyal to the monarch is the embodiment of Bushido's idea of "loyalty". However, the attitudes towards "death" caused by the idea of "loyalty" are far different.
(Place the island warriors you are familiar with with these two factions, either the Yamaga sect or the Hagakure sect. If we look at the islanders from the Edo period to the Showa era in later generations, they are all influenced by these two sects. For example,
The famous "Zang of Loyalists", a historical event in which forty-seven people committed suicide after avenging their master, was deeply influenced by the theories of the Ye Yin sect.
Dai Jitao of the Republic of China commented in his "On Japan": Bushido, if we use today's thinking to comment on it, the original fact is, needless to say, it is just a slave way, which is the repayment of food and salary under the feudal system.
.As for Yamaga Sokyō, the books written by Daidoji Yuzan (a disciple of Yamaga Sokyō) on the content of Bushido, it was when the relationship between the samurai became more intense, their status increased, and a ruling class was formed, they put on the clothes of Confucian ethics on Bushido.
What we need to pay attention to is that it evolved from the institutional theory of Bushido, then to the moral theory of Bushido, and then to the faith theory of Bushido.)
Zhao Xin went to the beach under the guidance of Li Ji. However, Sheng Haizhou had already found a flat spot on the beach, facing the sea, and prepared to commit suicide by committing suicide.
After Zhao Xin arrived, he first drove away Li Ji and the other six, so as not to watch the fun. After those anxious guys left, Zhao Xin didn't tolerate Sheng Haizhou's explanation and began to curse.
Zhao Xinyi pointed at Sheng Haizhou's nose and said: "Are you stupid for reading? The bunch of bullshit in "Ye Yin Wen Shu" is also regarded as a guide, and you want to die at every turn. That is evading responsibility. After all, you are also a reader.
A warrior who has been studying for a few years, have you forgotten what you said to me that night? Ideals, ambitions, I can't bear to say a few words to you. The Buddhist scriptures say that those who commit suicide will go to Abi Hell, aren't you afraid of eternal catastrophe?!"
Zhao Xin is also furious. You Sheng Haizhou can just die alone. What if Jiuzang Liji and the others are all taken to the ditch? If they follow suit in the future, how will they manage these island country refugees in the future?
At first, Sheng Haizhou knelt on the ground and listened honestly. Later, when he heard Zhao Xin mention Abi Hell, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
In the past few months, Zhao Xin's friendly appearance made him almost forget that the lord in front of him was the "messenger sent by the Buddha." Although the lord himself had never revealed his origin, the refugees were secretly talking about it.
During the discussion, Zhao Xin was already considered a god.
Zhao Xin also said he was tired. He sighed, squatted in front of Sheng Haizhou and asked: "Shengsaburo, have you forgotten the ideals you told me that night after the riot? Personal honor and disgrace are small things, but the world's
Justice is what you want to pursue. Don’t slack off!”
Sheng Haizhou, who had just turned 20, was already in tears when Zhao Xin told him the last words, and he fell to the ground crying bitterly.
"You all, get out of here!" Zhao Xin had long heard movement behind him, and he knew it was Li Ji and the others who had been peeking.
The six "dwarfs" ducked out from behind a big stone with slumped heads, walked up to Katsu Kaishu, and knelt down.
"Lord, we were wrong."
They are so idle! Zhao Xin is also very helpless. Now these people can't go anywhere and can only stay on the island and work day after day. He has also figured it out and will move as soon as spring starts! Damn it
Bear Island is not suitable for farming at all.
Speaking of digging for gold, Zhao Xin didn't know how Deng Fei was watching the ship at the moment. Since the explanation, there has been no news from Deng Fei; Zhao Xin was too busy running around these days to care.
On the dock of a port in the south of the country.
Deng Feizheng and Ding Guofeng were preparing to read the last boat mentioned by Zhao Xin without any hope.
This is an ocean-going bulk cargo ship built in the late 1980s, with a total tonnage of more than 17,000 tons and a maximum deadweight tonnage of more than 28,000 tons.
From the outside, the paint on the outer shell of the cargo ship was mottled, and the iron plate underneath was exposed in many places. The railings on the ship's side also looked shaky. After inspecting the inside and outside of the deck, Deng Fei discovered that neither the engine room nor the driver's
The cabin and internal equipment have become outdated.
Standing on the dilapidated deck, Ding Guofeng asked Deng Fei: "What should I do? The three ships Mr. Zhao found are not in very good condition."
Deng Fei remained silent and did not speak. The broker who accompanied him to watch the ship was waiting. Deng Fei walked to the side of the ship and suddenly pointed to a bulk container ship not far away and asked the broker: "Is that ship the same?"
Selling?"
The broker followed Deng Fei's finger and looked over. It was a double-hulled bulk ship with a total length of more than 130 meters. After seeing the name of the ship clearly, he called and asked.
"The news that just came out today is that it is also for sale. This ship was launched in October 2009, with a total tonnage of 7,719, a cargo capacity of 12,000, a full load speed of 11.5, complete procedures, and can go to sea for inspection at any time." The economic man said at the
After asking questions on the phone, he said to Deng Fei.
"What's the selling price?"
"Fifteen million)."
"Hey~" Deng Fei gasped. This price is rare. He asked strangely: "Why is it so cheap?"
"It seems that the ship owner is involved in some kind of lawsuit and is eager to sell the ship to raise cash. But I just heard about it." The broker thought for a while and quickly added.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Deng Fei couldn't help but said, pulling Ding Guofeng and leaving. The agent quickly followed and started calling again to ask for details.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng returned to the hotel room and hurriedly called Zhao Xin.
The phone is not in the service area...
So the impatient Deng Fei began to call Zhao Xin every half hour. Until 2 o'clock in the night, Zhao Xin's mobile phone was still not in the service area. Deng Fei could only leave a message at the secretary desk.
"It's over. The ship owner will wait until eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If we don't get a reply, we will give it to someone else." Deng Fei put down the phone in disappointment and murmured.
"For such a big thing as buying a boat, luck is very important. This matter cannot be rushed."
At the food stall at night, the very nervous Ding Guofeng concentrated on the seafood casserole in front of him and said nonchalantly: "Hurry up, this 'opium fish head' won't taste good when it's cold."
"Hey, I found that you have the same character as Liu Sheng." Deng Fei glanced sideways at Ding Guofeng.
"What?" Ding Guofeng asked vaguely, holding a razor clam in his mouth.
"Foodie!" Deng Fei said as he picked up a large spoonful of fish from the casserole.
"Hey, please slow down and leave some for me!"
At 7 o'clock in the morning the next day, Deng Fei, who had already gotten up and waited, finally received a call back from Zhao Xin.
"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you? I called you since last night and you haven't been in the service area."
"Stop talking about it, it's a bunch of rubbish. How about it, the ship has a clue?" Zhao Xin gasped on the phone.
Deng Fei then briefly explained the situation of the cargo ship he accidentally discovered yesterday, and then expressed his own views.
"Situations like this are rare. Although the boat owner's request is a little more troublesome, I can guarantee that there is no major problem with the boat. It will be a good boat if it is maintained."
"Okay. I believe you! You make a decision with the ship owner immediately. I will ask my cousin to contact you later. He will fly over to you today with the company's license and official seal. You tell the ship owner, even if I don't arrive in the afternoon,
I’ll definitely be there tonight!”
At this time, there are only two days left before the Spring Festival in this time and space.
