After getting up and washing up, Zhao Xin finally woke up a little. This guy really 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 personal lawyer.
The old man's secretary is really eye-catching, a bit like the beautiful Crimean prosecutor. Unfortunately, Zhao Xin was still feeling sick in his stomach and 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 rest before leaving for the airport in the afternoon. But at this time Andrew stopped Zhao Xin and said that he wanted to discuss something.
Well, for the sake of the horse he just bought, Zhao Xin stayed on his own.
He thought it was about the 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 accidentally saw it in the beer hall that day. So, you still Do you need a weapon?"
ah? Zhao Xin was stunned for a while and could not 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 purchased from Daniel were too expensive, and he currently had no other channel but to continue placing orders with Daniel. As for Brother Bao... let's play for now, Zhao Xin doesn't want to provoke him.
Andrew immediately 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 Mosin Nagant, but he learned from Daniel that this thing has become a collectible on the other side of the ocean. A single item in good condition actually costs more than a thousand dollars; and even SKS costs more than 700 yuan to buy a good one. How does he accept this?
What is Andrew's price? It is only 23% of the market price on the other side of the ocean, and one thousand yuan appears. And in Andrew's introduction, besides bullets, there was another product that moved him the most.
"What? D30 122?" Liu Sheng's mind was 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 laughing.
"What is the background of 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."
"Master! Master!" Li Ji's urgent shout 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 scolded: "Go and eat your crabs, don't cause trouble. I can go alone. If there are more people, who knows whether he will be more energetic."
Liu Sheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He had no good impression of the samurai of the island country. After hearing what Zhao Xin said, he simply stopped caring and went to the kitchen with a large bag of crabs and prawns, ready to be cleaned up.
Zhao Xin once read this passage in a book before, "Peel off 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 if you peeled back the skin of these people? A rogue? Zhao Xin feels that reality has proven it.
In fact, during the early and middle development of the island country's "Bushido", especially after the Edo period (from the end of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century), the theories of two people profoundly affected its subsequent evolution. These are Yamaga Soyuki and Yamamoto Tsunetomo.
The representative work of Shanlu Suxing's school is Shanlu Yulei. Its theory is to seek the basis for the existence of warriors through Confucianism, and to use the Confucian image of a gentleman to transform warriors into a new image of "gentlemen", 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 cannot give up his life easily. Until the purpose of loyalty is successfully achieved.
The representative work of Yamamoto Tsunetomo's group is "Hagakure Wenshu". By profoundly revealing Bushido's view of life and death, it is shown that Bushido means seeing through death. This school of scholarly theory is called "the main stream of Bushido".
However, the "spiritual preparation for death" praised by Yamamoto Tsunemo's group is completely opposite to Yamaga Moyuki's ideas. This so-called "spiritual preparation for death" is also known as the "death madness spirit." He called this "death-crazy spirit" "reckless recklessness". In his opinion, this "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 death" , charging towards death from the very beginning.
In fact, the starting point of the two groups mentioned above 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 faction or the Hagakure faction. If we look at the islanders from the Edo period to the Showa era in later generations, they are all influenced by these two factions. 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 is a proposition that can be evaluated using our thinking today. The original fact, needless to say, is just a kind of slavery, which is the repayment of food and salary under the feudal system. As for the books on Bushido written by Yamaga Sokyō and Daidoji Yuzan (a disciple of Yamaga Sokyō), it was when the relationship between the samurai became more intense, their status increased, and a ruling class was formed, and they put on the clothes of Confucian ethics on Bushido. What we need to pay attention to is that the bushido of institutional theory progresses to the bushido of moral theory, and then to the bushido of faith theory. )
Zhao Xin went to the seaside under the guidance of Li Ji. Katsu Kaishu had already found a flat spot on the beach, facing the sea, and prepared to commit seppuku.
When Zhao Xin arrives, he first blows away Li Ji and the other six, so as not to watch the fun. After those anxious guys left, Zhao Xin didn't allow Sheng Haizhou to explain 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 studied for a few years, have you forgotten what you said to me that night? Ideals and 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 was also furious. You Sheng Haizhou could just die alone. What if Jiuzang Liji and the others are all taken to the ditch, and if they follow suit in the future, how will they manage these refugees from the island country 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 breaking 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 has never revealed his origin, the refugees have long considered Zhao Xin to be a god in their private discussions.
Zhao Xin also said he was tired. He sighed, squatted in front of Sheng Haizhou and asked: "Shengsaburo, have you forgotten the ideal you told me that night after the riot? Personal honor and disgrace are small, but the world's Justice is what you have 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 and cried 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.
Six "dwarfs" ducked out from behind a big stone with slumped heads, walked up to Katsu Haizhou, and knelt down.
"Lord, we were wrong."
They are all so idle! Zhao Xin is also helpless. Now these people can't go anywhere and can only stay on the island and work day after day. He also figured it out and moved quickly after spring! Damn it, Bear Island is not suitable for farming.
Speaking of digging for gold, Zhao Xin didn't know how Deng Fei was watching the boat at the moment. Since the explanation, there has been no news from Deng Fei; Zhao Xin has been too busy running around these days to pay attention to it.
On the dock of a port in the south of the country.
Deng Feizheng and Ding Guofeng were preparing to watch 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 hull of the cargo ship is mottled, with the iron plates underneath exposed in many places, and the railings on the ship's side also look shaky. After checking inside and outside the deck, Deng Fei discovered that the internal equipment in both the engine room and the cockpit was extremely old.
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 agent who accompanied him to watch the ship was waiting at the side. 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 also for sale?"
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 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 this." The agent thought for a while and quickly added.
"Let's go take a look!" Deng Fei couldn't help but said, pulling Ding Guofeng away. The agent hurriedly 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 started calling Zhao Xin every half hour. Until 2 o'clock at 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 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, 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, it's a bunch of rubbish. What's going on? Is there any clue about the ship?" Zhao Xin was breathing heavily on the phone.
Deng Fei then briefly explained the situation of the cargo ship he accidentally discovered yesterday, and then expressed his own views.
"This situation is rare. Although the boat owner's request is a bit troublesome, I can guarantee that there is no major problem with the boat. It will be a good boat with some maintenance."
"Okay. I believe you! You make a decision with the ship owner immediately. I will ask my cousin to contact you later, and 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.
