"Second Young Master!"
"Second Young Master!"
The little girl's voice sounded from time to time, but life was extremely comfortable for Jiang Chen. Although there were two more burdens, it didn't affect him too much.
He practiced in the morning and taught the little girl to practice.
Jiang Chen had already imparted the Huashan mental cultivation method to the little girl.
It had to be said that Su Qingxuan was extremely talented.
In less than twenty days, he had completely mastered the Huashan Heart Technique.
Not everyone was like him, and not everyone could achieve great things with their internal energy. Even in the martial arts world, there were only a few martial artists.?
Although this aspect had limitations on the spread of internal energy cultivation methods, it also represented a restriction on cultivation.
The fact that the little girl was able to enter the sect so quickly undoubtedly meant that her talent was extremely high.
Of course, part of the reason was because Jiang Chen tempered the little girl's body in advance, making her martial arts cultivation easier.
However, the little girl's talent could not be ignored.
Jiang Chen felt that this person could really make a name for himself.
Therefore, he had been teaching her carefully these days.
The little girl was also practicing very seriously.
The days passed peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, a few months passed.
The summer in Jiangnan Prefecture was already extremely hot.
As a city that was second only to the furnace in the future, the temperature in Jiangnan Prefecture was naturally not much better, especially in this era where there was no air conditioning or even a fan.
Under such circumstances, the only way to cool the room was to use ice cubes.
However, the value of ice was extremely high.
This thing wasn't worth much in winter.
Even in the south, it could freeze in winter.
However, when summer came, it was almost added.
In the past, only the high-ranking officials and nobles or the royal family would use it. After entering the Republic of China, some rich people began to use it.
The steps were simple.
He would dig a very, very deep cave and store the ice in the winter. He would just take it out for use in the summer.
Of course, if he could store 100 ice cubes, it would be good if he could have 10 left in the summer.
However, the consumption was extremely terrifying. The ice stored in one winter was often not enough for summer.
Naturally, the price would remain high.
Fortunately, the Jiang family did not have such considerations.
The current Jiang family could be said to be a truly wealthy family.
Without considering Jiang Chen's tens of millions of silver dollars, the entire Jiang family's assets had already exceeded twenty million silver dollars.
However, it was definitely not an exaggeration to say that he was as rich as a province.
If they added in the tens of millions of silver dollars, the Jiang family was probably the richest in the entire world.
Even the four great clans could not compare to him.
This wasn't a joke, it was the truth.
Of course, no one knew about it at the moment. Everyone only knew about the wealth of the Jiang family on the surface.
And even this wealth on the surface was enough to use.
In Jiang Chen's comfortable life, the peace of the world was completely broken by a gunshot in Europe.
In the late 19th century and early 1920s, under the influence of the law of unbalanced economic and political development of the capitalist countries, the imperialist countries launched a fierce struggle around the struggle for world hegemony and colonies. The contradictions between the European powers were complicated, but there were three basic contradictions, namely, the contradiction between France and Germany, the contradiction between Russia and Austria, and the contradiction between Britain and Germany.
In the 1870s and 1880s, Germany, the Austro-Hun Empire, and Italy established a three-nation alliance against the Russian Empire and France. In 1879, under the push of Bismarck, Germany and Austria signed the "alliance treaty," which was obviously anti-Russian. Later, due to Italy's failure in the fight against France for Tunis, Bismarck took the opportunity to win over Italy to deal with France together. In 1882, Germany, Austria, and Italy signed the Alliance Pact, and the Tri-Alliance was officially established. Germany became the core of the three-way alliance.
In order to deal with the " Triple Alliance," France and the Russian Empire reached a military agreement in 1892. It stipulated that once France was attacked by Germany or Italy supported by Germany, Russia would attack Germany with all its military forces. Once Russia was attacked by Germany or Austro-Hun Empire supported by Germany, France should attack Germany with all its military forces.
On June 28, 1914 (the National Day of Serbia), the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hun Empire, Archduke Ferdinand, and his wife were shot dead by the young man Gavriro Princeps of Serbia while they were inspecting in Ruoyun.
With this gunshot, the tense situation instantly exploded like a gunpowder barrel.
July 23-Austro-Hun issues an ultimatum to Serbia regarding the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
On July 28 of the same year, the Austro-Hun Empire, with the support of Germany, declared war on Serbia under the pretext of the incident in Ruoyun.
The First World War had arrived.
This was also the beginning of the true waves of the entire world.
This was a war that lasted for more than four years. More than 30 countries and 1.5 billion people were involved in the war. It caused enormous material and spiritual damage to mankind.
This was also an unjust war between imperialists, which brought heavy disasters to the people of all countries in the world. At the same time, it also brought great progress in science and technology, which greatly strengthened the politics, economy, science and technology, culture, military and many other aspects of each country. At the same time, the First World War accelerated the pace of the realization of human rights.
The establishment of nation-states was the greatest result of this war.
However, at this moment, these veteran empires did not know how much damage the outbreak of war would bring them. They still thought that this was just an ordinary war that would end quickly.
There wouldn't be too many problems, and there wouldn't be any more losses in their hegemony.
