Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

After Mike left, Hu Zhenhua suddenly realized that he had dug a big hole for himself.

The Americans have held four rounds of negotiations to purchase intelligence on the firecrackers, and the two sides finally reached a consensus: the United States will pay 5 million US dollars, but they will not pay in advance, but will verify it before paying.

In order to ensure that the American pays, the seller requires TA company to provide a guarantee.

If the Americans do not pay by then, TA's 60% stake in the industrial zone will be confiscated.

Mike came here to participate in the negotiations, otherwise if he waited for Jim to talk and report again, it would be too late.

Now, Lao Hu introduced the reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty, which gave Mike great confidence and made him see the possibility of peaceful evolution of polar bears. It is hard to say whether they will continue to buy intelligence.

A day passed and the Americans did nothing.

Hu Zhenhua raised his right hand and slapped himself twice in the face.

"I'll teach you to be mean! I'll teach you to be mean!"

He stretched out his right hand and counted his fingers.

"One hundred million, two hundred million, three hundred million, four hundred million, five hundred million!"

这尼玛可不是后世的水货5亿呀！现在的米元，35块可以兑换1盎司黄金，而1盎司是28.35克，也就是说1米元等于0.809克的黄金。

1 million Mi Yuan, worth 80.9 tons of gold.

After another day, the Americans still did not respond. Lao Hu got angry and flew to Bao'an County to find his wife and tell her about his homesickness.

By the way, let’s see if we can find an opportunity to deal with that bull nose.

The old Taoist priest has been going too far lately. He even put up a statue of a rat in the Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple. I heard that he is making a fortune from it.

After Hu Zhenhua had some intimate time with his wives, he disguised himself and went to the Taoist temple the next day.

As soon as I walked into the gate, I heard an elderly grandfather kowtow and mutter something.

"Lord Laojun, please bless me. You are so compassionate and merciful. Please do not blame Taiyi Immortal for stealing your Xuanhuang Pagoda. With this pagoda to suppress our destiny, our lives are getting better and better! We all remember your kindness!"

Another old man muttered the same thing.

"The villagers have tried many times to rebuild your golden body, but Taiyi Immortal said that you, out of pity for the suffering of the people, would only leave the incense money to the villagers to build bridges and roads. Laojun, you are so merciful! My youngest son is getting married on the 18th, and I hope you will bless him with a happy marriage!"

As he said this, the old man bowed his head and worshipped.

Hu Zhenhua had a toothache.

I worked hard to plan and lead my fellow villagers to become rich, but this good man was actually taken away by the idiot. What kind of thing is this!

After the old man kowtowed, he walked to a golden statue of a spirit rat.

"The clever mouse looks like a little mouse,

Shiny eyes and long tail.

Running around looking for treasure,

Lively and cute, everyone appreciates it.

The arrival of the spirit rat brings good fortune.

Bringing new hope to everyone!"

Unlike before, the old man did not kneel down, but bowed and threw a silver coin into the pool next to him.

"May you bless my boy with good fortune!"

After saying this, he stroked the short legs of the spirit rat, as if doing so would bring him good fortune.

The more Hu Zhenhua looked at the little mouse, the more disgusting he felt. He muttered to himself: This doesn't match my temperament!

Zhuge Lin saw Hu Zhenhua's doubt and asked for him,

"Master, you just knelt before the screen wall, but now you're here with the Spirit Rat, you only bow. Could it be that the Spirit Rat isn't a deity?"

The old man did not answer, but turned his head and asked,

"Are you new here?"

Zhuge Lin handed over a cigarette and said with a smile,

"We are merchants passing by. We heard that this place is very effective, so we came here to see it for ourselves."

The old man put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, then hung it to his ear, smiling so hard that all the wrinkles on his face melted away.

"You've finally hit the nail on the head. Within a few hundred miles, only this Taoist temple is so effective. Do you want to know why it's so effective?"

Zhuge Lin asked cooperatively,

"why?"

"Because we have a True Immortal here. Five days ago, when the Xuanhuang Pagoda was completed, the Red-Haired Ghost felt threatened and summoned the Siren to attack. That day, heaven and earth lost their color. Master Zhang stood atop the Xuanhuang Pagoda, spiritual sword in hand, and fought until the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, lightning and thunder roared, and only then did he repel the Siren!

That wasn't all. Master Zhang flew through the air, chasing the sea monster for three thousand miles. On his way back, he swung his sword at the red-haired demon, severing one of its leaders' arms, and warned them: "If you dare to invade Bao'an again, I will launch a western expedition to destroy their lair!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and he came to Zhuge Lin and gave him a thumbs up.

"Young man, what do you think, is this awesome?"

"Awesome! That's awesome! With Master Zhang guarding this place, we business people can rest assured!"

Hu Zhenhua tilted his head and thought about it. It seemed that Wang Zhan had sent several telegrams a few days ago, saying that there was a typhoon here and the losses were quite heavy. Governor Ge was also injured in the arm by a falling street lamp.

This young Taoist priest Zhang Cong is quite capable. He actually took advantage of the situation and used this incident to become famous.

The old man pulled Zhuge Lin in front of the spirit rat and said excitedly,

"If you're doing business, you must get a little bit of the fortune of the Longbearded Master. This will protect you from unexpected disasters!"

Zhuge Lin asked in confusion,

"Shouldn't you bless us to make a fortune?"

The old man's face darkened and he scolded,

"Nonsense! Can a lazy guy get rich just by kowtow? Master Zhang said that we have to earn our own wealth. Taiyi Immortal and Laojun will protect our wealth from being plundered. True immortals will not bless lazy people and treacherous people!"

Zhuge Lin looked like he was being taught a lesson and quickly apologized.

"Master, I was wrong. How about I kowtow to Master Changxu?"

The old man waved his hand and said impatiently,

"That's not necessary. Master Zhang said, just bow. We can't be slaves to money!"

"I see!"

After Zhuge Lin finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the statue and, like the old man, touched the mouse's toes.

“May you keep my fortune going!”

The old man showed an expression that showed that the child was teachable and left with satisfaction.

Hu Zhenhua was very sure that the old Taoist priest with an ox nose was definitely in the Taoist temple, because Zhang Cong was just a half-grown child and it was impossible for him to have such sophisticated methods.

After Hu Zhenhua took a look around, he found a few thatched houses on the back mountain of the Taoist temple. There was a path leading there, and there was a wooden sign next to it with four big characters written crookedly: Taiyi Forbidden Land!

Hu Zhenhua waited until it was a little darker and then quietly sneaked in.

There are three thatched houses in total, one of which is the kitchen, one is the place for practice, and the other is the bedroom of the old Taoist priest.

As for the dining room, it is in a small pavilion next to the kitchen.

Taiyi Zhenren and the young Taoist priest Zhang Cong sat opposite each other and were having dinner, which included steamed buns, porridge, two plates of vegetarian dishes, and a roast chicken.

The roast chicken was divided into two halves, and the old Taoist priest ate it with his mouth full of oil. He also took a sip of wine from time to time, enjoying it very much.

This guy has gained a lot of weight since the last time Lao Hu saw him. It's obvious that he has a good diet.

Hu Zhenhua suddenly appeared and shouted,

"You're such a jerk, Taiyi! How dare you drink alcohol and eat meat!"

The old Taoist priest was startled and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground and shattered with a bang!

When he saw clearly that it was Hu Zhenhua, he immediately jumped up and cursed,

"You damned Hu Zhenhua, how dare you..."

He saw Lao Hu's guards surrounding the thatched cottage, and his voice weakened.

"Hu Zhenhua, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're in a crowd. Believe it or not, if I yell, the villagers nearby will pick up their hoes and rip your skull off! This is a restricted area. If you piss me off, I'll say you've offended Laojun!"

The corners of Hu Zhenhua's mouth twitched. He had no doubt about the other party's threat, and that group of ordinary people believed it!

Old Hu waved his hand, and the guards around him retreated into the distance.

"Taiyi, I, Hu Zhenhua, have never been afraid of others turning over the table. If you dare to shout, I will let the people know that you are a Taoist priest who only cares about food and wine!"

Taiyi Zhenren's momentum weakened. If that was the case, it would be very detrimental to his image.

"Longbeard, how could I be afraid of you? I eat meat and drink wine, and it doesn't violate the precepts!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed.

"You are a god, shouldn't you eat the wind and drink the dew? Why are you eating mortal food?"

The old Taoist priest heard that Hu Zhenhua was mocking him, and he stiffened his neck and retorted,

"What's your business when the Taoist priest goes through mortal worldly trials?"

The young Taoist priest Zhang Cong was a little bit at a loss. He wiped the grease from his mouth with his sleeve and chanted the Taoist name.

"Wulian Tianzun, you are a guest from afar, please take a seat!"

Hu Zhenhua naturally wouldn't argue with a child. After thanking him, he moved a stool and sat at the dining table. He picked up a piece of chicken, sniffed it, and smiled.

"Wow, not bad, they're actually free-range chickens!"

Zhang Cong blushed and explained,

"Don't be surprised, sir. This is the one raised by my uncle. Today we have meat, so my uncle specially called Xiaodao to improve the food."

Hu Zhenhua looked at the young Taoist priest and asked,

"Do you know who I am?"

How could Zhang Cong not know, he whispered,

"You are Uncle Changxu, I pay my respects to you."

This time, Lao Hu was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile,

"I'm also from the Daoist sect, so you don't have to be so formal. Our duty is to give people hope and guide them toward goodness. You've done well!"

When the old Taoist heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he muttered in a low voice: Fake!

Hu Zhenhua took off his watch and handed it to Zhang Cong.

"This is our first meeting, so I can't let you call me uncle in vain. Take it, and we'll see when it's time!"

Zhang Cong looked at the old Taoist priest and saw him nod, then he accepted it.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and ordered,

"You should go back to the Taoist temple first. Taiyi and I have something to discuss!"

Seeing Zhang Cong hesitate to speak, Old Hu said with a smile,

"Don't worry, Taiyi and I will only fight with magic, not violence!"

The old Taoist priest did not want to implicate Zhang Cong, so he waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, I was able to defeat him back in Tushita Palace, and it's no exception in the mortal world!"

Zhang Cong's eyes moved back and forth between the two men's faces, and finally he stood up and saluted them.

"Harmony is the most important thing in everything. I hope the two uncles can resolve the dispute peacefully. I'm not far away. Call me if you need anything!"

Hu Zhenhua and the old Taoist priest smiled and said they knew it, but as soon as Zhang Cong left, the old Taoist priest took the initiative to attack.

"Longbeard! Don't you have any manners? My sign clearly states that this is a restricted area, and you dare barge in? You really think you're a robber!"

Hu Zhenhua retorted,

"You said it's a restricted area, so it's a restricted area. We live in a society ruled by law now, and the land is state-owned. You've illegally occupied the land, which is a violation of the law! Believe it or not, I'll take you to court!"

"Bullshit! The county's land law clearly states that if the people have nowhere to live, they can choose where to live without interfering with others! This used to be a stinking ditch, and I filled it up with dirt, one bucket at a time. Even if you sue me, I'm not afraid of you!"

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly.

"Can't you live in a Taoist temple?"

"It's my freedom to live wherever I want, what's it to you?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed and said jokingly,

"Taiyi, do you feel embarrassed to live in the Taoist temple because I built it? Don't worry, Zhenhua and I are not petty people!"

The old Taoist waved his whisk and said disdainfully,

"Tao follows nature. How can a vulgar person like you understand the true meaning of Tao?"

Hu Zhenhua immediately retorted,

"Could it be that secretly winning a game of chicken is just like following the natural way? I really can't understand this!"

The old Taoist blushed and said,

"If you have any objections, go to Laojun and complain about me!"

Hu Zhenhua: &%

He calmed down and smiled.

"It's just a chicken, what's the big deal? How about this, I'll buy two bottles of good wine, you buy the chicken, and we can meet and laugh it off, how about that?"

The old Taoist priest looked at Hu Zhenhua in surprise and doubt.

"Why do I feel like you haven't held your fart well?"

Hu Zhenhua looked at him with a grin.

"Why, are you afraid you can't drink more than me?"

"Bullshit, when it comes to drinking, I've never been defeated by anyone!"

When Hu Zhenhua heard this, he immediately ordered someone to buy wine and stew the chicken again!

……

The next morning, the old Taoist priest woke up from his hangover. As usual, he went to the backyard to let the chickens out to find food, but the chicken coop was empty.

Suddenly, the old Taoist saw a mess of chicken feathers on the ground. His face turned green and he yelled,

"You damned Hu Zhenhua, you ate all of Daoye's thirty-odd chickens! You even ate the hens that had just laid eggs. You're worse than an animal! You shouldn't be called Longxu, you should be called Huangpizi!"

……
