486 Unknown Governor

Immediately afterwards, the patriarch of the Huang family in the Lion City also jumped out, the old man's face was flushed as if he had drunk too much daughter red, he raised his arms and shouted, "My Huang family is the largest cloth merchant in the Lion City, I can't do it this year, I will give everyone cloth for nothing...... As long as it is a flag printed, it can be white-collar workers...... I broke my house to worship the Prime Minister......"

"We have the most ships in Chenjiahai...... On my orders, all the ships went north, and we only did business going north, and all other deals were postponed indefinitely...... Whoever is the first to bring the news to Ryukyu will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver from my Chen family..."

This is really the same force of heaven and earth... What Xiao Lotian wants is to return to Asia in a high-profile manner, that is, to let everyone see his majesty and domineering. I have been away from Asia for more than half a year, and God knows how many villains have jumped out to calculate themselves, and at this time, it is still time to wait for them not to step on their prestige.

In the Lion City Pier Square, Xiao Letian landed on the shore in a high-profile manner, and the two things that asked the people were all satisfied, and the fanatical people even lifted Xiao Lotian and the new army in the end, and countless hands formed a carpet to support the brothers into the city.

At this time, even Xiao Lotian couldn't help it, he wanted to say a few private words to the British governor, but he didn't have a chance at all, the people of the Lion City had already set up countless long street banquets, all the Chinese shops had set up tables in front of the door, and every household had set up wine and delicacies that could only be enjoyed during the New Year.

The simple people also knew that it was impossible for the prime minister to come to his door to drink wine and eat meat, and the wine banquet of the thirteen families was the position of the prime minister and the officers. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the common people for revelry, and they just wanted to use such a grand carnival to demonstrate to the foreigners and natives.

This is the power of our Chinese, once it breaks out, it is so dazzling.

On the long street, whether they know each other or not, everyone eats when they see the table and drinks when they see wine, and the host family is not distressed at all, and even ashamed that there are fewer guests.

Some owners even drunkenly went to the street to pull people, and there were jokes about forcibly pulling foreigners and natives, but at this time, the foreign devils and indigenous monkeys were very polite one by one, not only were they not angry, but they also shamelessly drank a few drinks together.

The Chinese people in the city didn't care about these glasses of wine, but became more enthusiastic, and gradually what was originally the Chinese people's own carnival gradually turned into a big party for the whole Lion City.

There is no need to mention how rich and valuable the banquet of the thirteen families is, and during the banquet, Xiao Letian simply revealed his economic layout, which had already stunned these smart businessmen.

Needless to say, it depends on the iron and steel mills, shipyards, machinery processing factories, and military factories that the prime minister wants to build...... These militaristic heavy weapons are something that businessmen dare not even dream of.

In the 19th century, these industries were the equivalent of gold mines that would not lose money, and as long as you could poke them up and protect them, there was no reason to lose money.

The Chinese businessmen in Nanyang have all made up their minds to get involved in the business of Lotte & Co., and if they can spend money to buy half a cent of the original shares?

At the end of the banquet, maybe he drank too much, maybe it was Xiao Letian who did it on purpose, and General Luo Huo at the wine table actually played drunk.

I saw Luo Huo standing in place, his left foot on the chair, loosening the buttons on his military uniform, and said with a red face, "You guys...... You haven't seen that...... The sea of Europa is as busy as the Yangtze River...... There are ships everywhere, all big ships......"

"You ignorant people, who dare to doubt the strength of our Prime Minister......? I tell you the truth, Prussian ...... Do you know that Volzen Shipyard has ordered five steel battleships in one go......

"Anyone who can sink ...... Good baby to sink the British battleship...... It's all iron......"

This Luo Huo is really a scourge, and Sima Yun next to him went up and kicked "Shut up, you drunk...... Come on, take him down and drink the sobering soup......"

Luo Huo was beaten and muttered unrelentingly, but Xiao Hexin was so angry that he gave him a cane, but the two soldiers who helped him almost didn't laugh out loud when they heard Luo Huo's whispered nagging.

"Wretch, what kind of task is this, let me pretend to be a drunk, and I will have to be beaten when I turn around...... Don't ask me to do anything next time..."

Luo Huo went down to drink the soup, but the elites of the thirteen families present were all interested, they didn't expect Xiao Letian to have such a good relationship with Prussia, he could actually buy a battleship, or a new battleship that could sink a battleship...

Although people don't understand what this kind of battleship looks like, they all feel the terrifying combat power of this unknown warship, and it seems that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's backstage is still very deep.

In the nineteenth century, the warship that crossed the ocean was a symbol of national strength, and whoever had more powerful warships would have stronger national deterrence.

At that time, the Beiyang Naval Division was actually a deterrent fleet, and if the First Sino-Japanese War had not pierced the tiger's skin, perhaps this fleet would have to extend the life of the Qing Dynasty for several decades.

"Ahh Seeing the Prime Minister so rogues, we are relieved......" After Luo Huo's acting, the elites of the Thirteen Families increased their confidence.

Just when Xiao Letian and the officers were acting, the British Governor's Mansion was miserable and miserable, and the Governor and officials at all levels looked at the prepared banquet and the empty garden, and their blood pressure was high.

"Damn bastard, God will punish you... Heretics, barbarians......"

"Your Excellency the Governor, that Xiao Letian is a religious citizen, not an infidel......"

"Shut up... Do you want to be clever in front of me? I can't clean him up, can't I clean you up?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, Lord Governor, I just want to say that we have a way to deal with Xiao Letian......"

"Oh, you say..."

"Xiao Lotian dares to blatantly issue banknotes in front of us, we can detain this batch of precious metals in the name of piracy proliferation security, as long as the gold and silver cannot be shipped out of the Lion City, no matter how much he issues it..."

"Well, that's good, you're still very bright......"

The Governor and his thinkers studied for an afternoon and found that this was the best way to punish Xiao Lotian, which was simply impeccable, and in the end the Governor even laughed gloomily with excitement.

"Hehehe...... Xiao Letian, I won't let you succeed, you can't get the wealth of the British Empire, everyone in the colony is the property of the empire, even a dog you don't want to take away......"

However, the governor's excitement only lasted until the evening and it was over, because Xiao Lotian did not attend his luncheon, so the dinner party was a must, and the nameless governor could not push it off even if he hated him.

As the sun set, Xiao Lotian walked in front of the governor with a smile on his face, and before the governor could say a few more polite words, Xiao Lotian took two letters from the hands of the officers behind him.

"Your Excellency, one of these letters is addressed to the Honourable Earl of Derby, and this one is addressed to the Prime Minister of Prussia, Bismarck...... I know that only the British Empire has the most advanced postal system in the world, so please..."

Damn, the Governor wanted to cry at the time, saying that I had been the Governor for five years, and I was not qualified to write a private message to the Prime Minister? Not to mention the famous British Prime Minister in Europe, you are a slap in the face.

Xiao Lotian is in a good mood today, it seems that he wants to have a good time with the governor, and on the banquet, Xiao Lotian talked about the European shape, and before pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he also faintly revealed his deep network in Europe.

"Well, this beer is pretty good in the colony, but it's still worse than the Hamburger stout...... In the garden of His Majesty Wilhelm's villa on the Elbe, drinking a cool beer at sunset, life is really beautiful..."

"I don't know how Prince Karl's health is? During the Sadowa War, he always felt uncomfortable in his throat, he was really too tired, I suggested that he go to England to recuperate for a period of time, isn't it good for a family of three to get together more?"

"Yes, of course Queen Victoria loves her grandson, the eldest princess and the grandson of Prince Carr are destined to receive an excellent British education, but Her Majesty Queen should also be more or less sympathetic to the pain of separation between husband and wife......"

"If I have the chance, I will go to Europe again, but I will not take the army with me at that time, I will spend a year exploring the scenery of Europe...... Oh yes, I heard that Vienna became very beautiful after the city walls were demolished, and the capital of the Habsburg Empire must have a special taste......"

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Governor, please don't look at me with doubtful eyes...... His Majesty Joseph of Austria was not so narrow-minded, and when I left Hamburg, Austria also wrote me a letter in the official name and sent me off very politely...... Oh yes, did you know that Austria and Hungary are going to merge?"

The Governor of the Lion City is about to cry now, and his heart says that he doesn't have such a bully... It's not enough to bring the prime minister out and press me, it's all about bringing out the queen, the king and even the Habsburg emperor to bully people.

I'm just a little lord, I got mixed up a little bit by seniority, and I was the governor of the colony for a few years, and I went back to China to retire, I can't afford to mess with you...

The governor really wanted to turn his face, but he didn't dare, because the gossip in the governor's circle was already flying all over the sky, and he knew that what Xiao Letian said was really not bragging.

The queen's eldest son-in-law is the crown prince of Prussia, Prince Karl and Xiao Lotian have fought side by side, and the Kingdom of Prussia will definitely inherit the throne in the future.

So in this way, Queen Victoria's own grandson should also be called Uncle Xiao Lotian, and so on...... If, according to the grapevine, Prussia wants to give Xiao Lotian an honorary title, then their generation will have to be counted anew.

Damn, I'm stupid... What do I worry about Xiao Letian, he is using power to oppress people, why am I still worried about him?

Just when the governor was about to break out, and the dinner party came to an end, Xiao Lotian wiped his mouth with a napkin and nodded politely to the governor.

"Oh yes, at the end I have one more thing to ask the Governor-General, and I have contracted all the future transport tasks of Lotte to the official ships of Prussia and the United States...... It's just a few cruisers, and I ask the Governor to take care of it..."

Come on, the last killer of the governor is also in vain, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to offend two Western powers in a row to detain ships... That's really a declaration of war......
