The four of them left the shop, full of doubts, and they all forgot the purpose of the trip. The impact of a little understanding was huge.

"Pooh!"

"Chu Wenhao is a greedy and lustful person, professional, professional! I think he is deliberately opening the door of convenience, it is simply a place where spies from various countries gather." Chi Rui cursed, not angry, mainly because he was very jealous.

Li Zhiqun despised him, "Xuancheng, the four treasures of study are indeed very historical, with superb skills and are well-received. It is not an exaggeration to say that a word is professional. It is normal for Communists to operate commerce. It is still unknown whether Chu Wenhao opened the door to convenience. However, this business model is indeed great. Even if the British side does it, it cannot be achieved. It is achieved by one's own efforts, which shows that his reputation is very good."

"It's almost noon, Miss Jin, let's have a meal first."

Kawashima exhaled and nodded: "Then let's have a meal first." Several people followed the crowd toward the hull, but they did not find a hotel restaurant along the way, all of which were shops that operated various products.

Chi Rui grabbed the pedestrian and asked: "Is there no place to eat in Pingzhou? Why don't there be a restaurant?"

The caught man shook his arm, looking at him with disdain, "New?"

“Ah~”

"Hmph, ignorant, it's really terrible." The man said arrogantly: "Remember Yong'an Street only operates department stores, and wants to eat and stay at Central Street, and find a woman to go to Yongle Street, and gamble to go to Yongming Street. I want to die at Yongsheng Street..."

"Hey, how are you talking!" Chi Rui glared, "Why do you do well? Where is Yongsheng Street?"

The man was too lazy to explain and waved his hand: "You just need to know that you can't get close with a temporary pass, just look for death when you get close." After saying that, he ignored Chi Rui's mouth and his feet, and he walked towards the shop next to him, and he had no time to entertain him.

"Hey~ I'm crazy. If I'm in Shanghai, I'll call him grandpa!" Chi Rui pinched his waist and scolded him angrily.

"Okay, go to Central Street."

Pingzhou Island is a "concave" shape from the air. The warships occupy half of the east-west direction and the flattest half. Only Yong'an Street runs through the east-west direction. Central Street is the concave part, facing north-south direction. The street is five meters wide and three hundred meters long, and is also the dividing line between the inner and outer cities.

"Tsk tsk~"

"Chu Wenhao is a spendthrift thing, how much does it cost!" The four of them came to Central Street. They all had five-story brick and wood buildings with green bricks and green tiles in the style of the Tang Dynasty. The store was carved with wood of different colors. A two-meter-wide red corridor appeared from time to time. Tall trees filled the entire street, as if walking into the depths of the forest.

The momentum is magnificent, and the atmosphere of history is coming. The vast crowd seems to be integrated into a historical picture, harmonious and quiet.

"I have to rely on the island to find a lot of wood, but I can't spend a lot of money." Li Zhiqun stuttered, and he was a little unwilling to leave. It was indeed the Pure Land on Earth, and it was isolated from the world here. This life was worth the rest of life.

"He is quite a bit of appreciation. He adopts the architectural style of the Great Japanese Empire, which is good." Kawashima said leisurely, but the three of them looked at her at the same time. Chi Rui curled his lips: "Ms. Jin misunderstood. She has all the classics along the way, using ancient Chinese architectural structures. Yong'an Street is very obvious in the Qin and Han styles, simple and restrained. The decoration style of the Central Street follows the architecture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Most of the architectural styles of the Great Japanese Empire are constructed by the styles of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, so it looks very similar."

Yoshiko Kawashima glared at me, "I'll use you to teach me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates are reckless." Li Zhiqun glanced at him in surprise, "Miss Jin, please, I heard that there are more than a dozen countries' delicacies, eight major domestic cuisines, including all kinds of folk snacks, and today I can fill my stomach."

"snort!"

"Then look for restaurants from the Great Japanese Empire to see if Chu Wenhao is stingy."

The three of them looked at each other and had to eat sashimi together. It was a waste. Walking along the street, don’t look at all five-story buildings, but they were divided into doors of different sizes, and they caught the eyes of various food stores. The fragrance was swaying, which made people salivate.

Really.

Next to three Japanese restaurants on the north side, Kawashima smiled mysteriously and walked into the restaurant where the "Izakaya" was hanging in the middle.

When he entered the door, he was very satisfied with the familiar decoration style. "Welcome to Pingzhou Mansion. If you need anything, just say it clearly." The boss's wife bowed to greet her in a kimono, "Baga!" Kawashima was very dissatisfied. "Why are the people of the great Japanese Empire just like the Chinese people!"

When the boss heard that it was her own, he signaled to follow her upstairs. The four of them followed her to the private room on the fifth floor, "Please sit." The private room was full of things, and they poured tea and brought it over in person. At the same time, they put the menu on the table and explained in a low voice: "This is the welcome speech stipulated by Chu Wenhao, and all the merchants who run shops in Pingzhou must say it."

"Hmph!" Kawashima was very dissatisfied and was about to scold him, but heard Chi Rui screaming: "It's so expensive? Are you robbed?"

"Baga!"

"Hi!" Chi Rui said embarrassedly: "Miss Jin, my subordinates are reckless, but they are really too expensive. Although I have a shallow knowledge and have eaten Japanese cuisine several times in Shanghai, the price is less than one tenth. A pot of tea costs 500 French dollars, and a sashimi is thousands of dollars. It is really..."

Kawashima frowned and took the menu to check it out, looked at the boss lady, "Why, who would come to eat it for such a high price?"

"Hi!"

The boss's cheeks were blushing, and he replied angrily: "There is no way, the rent is too expensive, so you can only increase the price. Chu Wenhao targeted the people of the Japanese Empire. The rent of a store as big as the next door was only 500 French dollars per month, but I had to pay 10,000 French dollars, so I could only grit my teeth and agree for the sake of the empire."

"Baga!" Kawashima gritted his teeth and cursed Chu Wenhao's bastard, but he actually dared to blackmail the people of the Japanese Empire.

"Not only that, all the people of the Empire have to pay 5,000 living expenses and 500 health expenses every month... There are 0,000 yuan in total, and 20,000 yuan in legal tender every month. The people of the Empire are not allowed to enter the inner city. If they cause trouble, regardless of right or wrong, they will first arrest the people of the Empire and fine them 10,000 yuan in fines. In severe cases, they will immediately expel Pingzhou and even kill them!" The boss's wife became more and more angry as she spoke, and finally she burst into tears. She was so bullying.

"Baga!"

"Does Chu Wenhao want to die?"

The other three people looked at each other, and it seemed that the price of the food was reasonable. After all, the risk was too high, so you had to prepare money at any time.

The boss's wife choked and said, "There are only 30 people in Pingzhou, but they have to hand over 600,000 French dollars every month, but the rest of the countries will not face such difficulties. They greet each other with a smile every day, and even if they are harassed, they dare not call the police, for fear of being targeted, so they can only endure it. Last month, a British man wanted to take advantage of me, and his clothes were torn apart. The evidence was conclusive. After calling the police, he was fined 10,000 French dollars, saying that I was wearing too much and deliberately seduced him to commit a crime..." The voice was filled with tears, and the listener was sad and the listener burst into tears.

"Baga~"

Kawashima gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't it mean that Pingju is absolutely fair? Where is his fairness?"

"Hi, Chu Wenhao said that it is already very generous to allow the Japanese to land on the island. It is impossible to be on an equal footing with other countries. If you don't want to leave, no one will force you to endure humiliation for the sake of the empire."

"Hmph!" Kawashima clenched his fists: "Don't worry, sooner or later, the Empire will take it back. Don't cry, what's the point?"

"Hi!"

Collect the emotional report: "After three months of exploration, the outer city has basically been clear..." The introduction was very detailed, "The inner city is not clear, the defense inside is very strict, and only a permanent pass can enter. I tried to bribe a Chinese and inquire about the situation inside, but was rejected in person. Later, some news was collected in pieces, and it seemed that there was a military academy and a weapon and ammunition production base inside. The specificity was not clear. Last year, Pingzhou often made explosions, and many people speculated that the construction of major projects was built, but there was no accurate news."

Kawashima frowned and said, "Where do representatives of the forty-seven countries live and where do they usually do?"

"Hi!"

"The representatives of the forty-seven countries all live in the inner city. I have only met the representative of Siam. He came to have a meal once and said a few words intentionally or unintentionally."

"say what?"

"It is said that Chu Wenhao is a genius, and his thoughts are rare in the world. If he is given two years, he will definitely cultivate enough power to counterattack the empire. He is highly praised in words, saying that he is extremely smart, with a glance at the smallest knowledge, and he can understand many offensive weapons at once and even learn from them. His knowledge is comparable to that of top scientists in Britain and the United States, and even has it."

"exaggerate!"

"I know Chu Wenhao too well, a little clever, just a lustful person. I will control him at the Military Control Commission. It's just over a half years, how could he become a genius? Scandals! Absolute scandals! There are no rumors that men are not good men, but men with rumors are definitely not good men. Chu Wenhao is a scumbag, selfish, try to show off a few things, don't be influenced by rumors from the outside world. Fakes are all fake!" Chi Rui said in a decisive tone.

"Well..."

The boss's wife looked at him like a fool, and the other three also looked embarrassed. "I don't know if Chu Wenhao is lustful, but there are thousands of beauties in Pingzhou. If he wants to take it, no one will refuse, but he has no rumors. As for the greed for money, Chu Wenhao's daily income may be calculated in millions of legal currency, but there is a suspicion, but he does not deny that he has patriotism. As for whether he is smart or not, he needs to test his feelings personally."

"Ahem...the rumor stops at wisdom..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kawashima glared at him and asked, "What is the smoke from the island for?"

"Hi!"

"According to the Dutch representative, there should be a steel mill, and there is a dock there. There are dozens of ships docking every day. It is not clear whether it is specific. There should be other factories depending on the area, and why it is not clear about the specific production."

"The empire wants to clear the current situation in Pingzhou, but there are only three points. First, directly send bombers to destroy Pingzhou and offshore factories; second, eliminate representatives of forty-seven countries and cut off Chu Wenhao's continued cooperation with trading companies in various countries; third, it is absolutely necessary to kill all factories that cooperate with Chinese people and cut off supply."
