Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Entering March, Hawaii has not stabilized because of the smooth election of the king, but has become even more incomprehensible.

The relationship between the new king and the cabinet was not good, and there was a huge disagreement between the new king and the cabinet on whether to sell Molokai.

Under normal circumstances, the king can choose to change the cabinet members at this time, but the situation of the Hawaiian Kingdom is not the same as that of ordinary countries, the Hawaiian Kingdom was originally established with the support of the Americans, but the Hawaiian Kingdom invited the Anglican Church in order to balance the Americans, and the current situation is that most of the cabinet members of the Hawaiian Kingdom are Americans and British, so it is not easy for the king to change the cabinet members, and even the Legislative Assembly has no say on this issue.

The situation of the Legislative Assembly is also very complicated, as the highest authority of the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Legislative Assembly of the Kingdom of Hawaii is composed of those chiefs of the Kingdom of Hawaii and some American businessmen and Chinese businessmen.

Here is a question to clarify, about the tax increase, it is not King Kalakaua I alone who thinks so, almost all Hawaiian chiefs are in favor of tax increases, but at the same time, almost all American businessmen and Chinese businessmen are against tax increases, so the Legislative Assembly is also a big quarrel for five days, a small quarrel for three days, and there is no time for peace all day.

The chiefs were actually in business, and their business was to lease land to those American merchants and Chinese merchants, and let those American merchants and Chinese merchants develop plantations, so the chiefs wanted the Hawaiian Kingdom to raise taxes, and only export taxes, so that it would not harm their interests.

The problem is that American businessmen and Chinese businessmen are not stupid, and when the Royal Government of Hawaii has money, it will strengthen the ruling power of the Royal Government, which will sooner or later lead to the Kingdom of Hawaii being out of the control of the Americans and the British.

But as the highest organ of power in a country, it is not possible to be so noisy all day long, so at a regular meeting at the end of February, the Kingdom's Minister of Commerce, Stanley Dewey, proposed reforms to change the current inefficient way of operation of the government and the legislative assembly, and not to waste all energy on unwarranted internal friction.

This proposal was agreed to by almost everyone, and the chiefs of the kingdom wanted to drive out these pesky Americans and Britons through reform, and the Americans and British hoped to find a more efficient way to operate through reform, and completely suppress these damned tribal chiefs.

Although reform became the consensus of all, the Legislative Assembly did not burst out with the energy it should have.

The first is the political system, where Americans want the Kingdom of Hawaii to abandon the kingdom system and turn Hawaii into a presidential republic; The British also wanted Hawaii to abandon the kingdom system and turn Hawaii into a British-style constitutional monarchy, while the Hawaiian chiefs wanted to keep the kingdom system but abolish the hereditary system and retain the election system.

The choices of the Americans and the British are well understood, while the chiefs have a more bizarre choice, wanting the Kingdom of Hawaii to continue to exist, but wanting a new king every once in a while.

Well, to put it simply, these chiefs want to have the opportunity to be kings.

When Li Mu knew the news, even with Li Mu's "well-informed", Li Mu couldn't help crying and laughing: "These chiefs are really brain-opening, they simply abolish the Hawaiian Kingdom and continue to return to their previous tribal system——"

"Maybe that's what they think-" Benjamin pretended to touch the cards, and after touching them for a long time, he didn't figure out why, and turned over to look at the cards in annoyance, and thought about it for a long time before playing the cards in his hand: "Twenty thousand-"

Yes, Li Mu and Benjamin are playing mahjong.

There are a lot of Chinese in Hawaii, so how can the place where the Chinese gather without the quintessence of the Chinese "mahjong", Li Mu found Chen Guofang playing mahjong with their wives and concubines in Chen Guofang's house one day, so this mahjong carved from agate became Li Mu's trophy.

To say that the entertainment projects in this year are indeed rare, although the sun and beach are wonderful, but the picturesque environment has been seen for a long time, it is still mahjong fun, and people have endless fun.

It took a week for Li Mu to teach Benjamin and Gloria, Crawford to play mahjong, after these two people knew how to play mahjong, they soon became addicted to this "entertainment game", so Li Mu's restaurant became a concentration camp for Li Mu and Gloria, Benjamin, and Crawford.

"What was their tribal system like before?" Gloria doesn't know the history of Hawaii.

"Ha - carefree, men farming and women weaving, no wars, no copper stench, not even disputes, absolutely heaven." Benjamin turns on flicker mode.

"But they don't have clothes, they don't have enough food, they don't have doctors and medicines, and they don't even have fairness and justice—" Li Mu ruthlessly revealed.

Shangri-La?

Where did you get so many peach blossom springs?

"That sounds good—" Crawford answered, and was so busy that he didn't understand how to play for a long time, so he pulled Hatsuki over to help him look at the cards.

Chu Xue pretended to help look at the cards, and then pretended to stretch out four fingers and rub his eyes.

Li Mu understood, blinked his eyes quietly, and laughed in his heart.

Mmmm, Chu Xue's task is to help Benjamin and them look at the cards, and then play the code to Li Mu-

Alas, a good pure little girl was spoiled by Li Mu like this.

"It's nice to keep going like this, but it's a tragedy if there's a strong enemy." Li Mu drew the card, his middle finger rubbed his face with joy, carefully confirmed it, and slapped the card on the table with his backhand: "Self-draw!" ”

It's not the big four, it's not all the same, it's just an ordinary fart, but it's enough, Li Mu hasn't had time to teach Benjamin their fancy play.

"Give money, give money!" Li Mu's eyebrows danced, and he stretched out his hand to knock on the tabletop, which was similar to Huang Shiren.

"It's self-touching again—" Crawford clasped his head in his hands, despair written across his face.

"I'm going to check your cards—" Benjamin was unconvinced.

"Oh my God, can you let me win once." Gloria lamented, but couldn't hide the joy between her eyebrows.

Li Mu and they have a plate of one hundred dollars, and Gloria's money has to be returned, and then they win two hundred dollars, Li Mu is one hundred, and Gloria and Chu Xue are fifty each.

Yes, another pure little girl was taken by Li Mu, Li Mu is a partner with Gloria and Chuxue, Chuxue ventilated the news, Gloria was responsible for dismantling the card, Li Mu was responsible for harvesting, and the cooperation was seamless.

"I don't feel right-" Benjamin took out the money, obviously not on mahjong: "Are your people too quiet?" ”

Benjamin was talking about the ongoing reforms in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and it seemed that the Chinese were relatively quiet during this time, they were not noisy or noisy, they went about their business every day, and they were busy earning their favorite bills, as in previous turmoil.

It may seem a bit abnormal, but it is actually very much in line with the habits of the Chinese, as the Chinese have always been in the political turmoil before the Kingdom of Hawaii.

This is a means for the Chinese to protect themselves, but many times, it is in this silence that the influence of the Chinese gradually declines, even if there is a fierce person like Chen Guofang in the Kingdom of Hawaii.

"Before the time comes, no matter how you choose, the king will collapse, and Congress may become a big winner, so wait and see." Li Mu is not in a hurry, Ford's people have not been trained yet, and Li Mu is not completely sure of his current move.

Looking at the current situation in the Kingdom of Hawaii, the king's situation is obviously not good, whether the chieftains' side wins, the Americans win, or the British win, the king is the biggest loser, even if the chiefs' plan is adopted, the king will become the nominal mascot.

"They should be mobilized to speed up the current progress." Benjamin was a little impatient to wait, and said that Li Mu would help him brush up his prestige, but as a result, the matter of Molokai Island could not be settled, and Benjamin could not make a move, so Benjamin hoped to end the current chaos as soon as possible.

"Wait a little longer—" Li Mu was also anxious, but he could still hold his breath.

Li Mu and Benjamin can see that the king is going to decline, Li Mu doesn't believe that Kalakaua I can't see it, the current Kalakaua I has no object to rely on, strictly speaking, the members of the Legislative Assembly are all enemies of Kalakaua I, if Kalakaua I wants to turn the tables, then he can only rely on foreign forces like Kamihameha IV, otherwise Kalakaua I will end up worrying.

And for the current Kalakaua I, Li Mu is the best choice and the only choice.

Indeed, Kalakaua I did not let Li Mu wait too long, and on March 5, Kalakaua I hosted a banquet for Li Mu in the palace.

This time, someone was also accompanied, and it was Chen Guofang who accompanied him.

Chen Guofang is a "relative of the emperor", and Kalakaua I and Kamihameha IV are relatives, so Kalakaua I and Chen Guofang are also relatives, coupled with the consistent low-key of the Chinese, so Chen Guofang has become the link between Kalakaua I and Li Mu.

Although he was in a difficult situation, Kalakaua I was still able to eat and drink, and his figure was not the slightest emaciated, but his complexion was not very good, his face was a little dark, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be doing well." Li Mu told the truth.

"Ream, do you think I'm in a good mood?" Li Mu didn't know if Kalakaua I was in a good mood or not, but he had a good appetite and didn't stop eating when he talked to Li Mu.

This time the food is not chicken thighs, but grilled fish, this kind of thing can hardly be said to be healthy or unhealthy, although the fish food is less fat, but the barbecue is harmful to the human body.

"At least your Majesty, your appetite is good." Li Mu smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Reem, I know what you want, help me get back what belongs to me, and I can give Molokai to you." Kalakaua I bets, but the stakes are not so appealing.

Li Mu sat down at the dining table, did not move the knife and fork in front of him, but played with the jade wrench in his hand with great interest: "No matter what we do, we have to weigh the gains and losses, and now it seems that if I choose to help Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective." ”

"But I'm the king! I am the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii! Those damn guys are all traitors! They are traitors to the Hawaiian Kingdom! They should all be sent to the gallows—" Kalakaua I lost his appetite, threw away the grilled fish in his hand, got up and paced back and forth, cursing and swearing.

Li Mu and Chen Guofang exchanged glances covertly, and Chen Guofang smiled at Li Mu and nodded imperceptibly.

"I can give you Molokai, or Oahu, as long as you bring it up — and I can guarantee that the Kingdom of Hawaii will never collect taxes on the Chinese, and in Hawaii the Chinese can enjoy everything they deserve, and even the Chinese can get into the cabinet, and I'm really fed up with the damned British and Americans." Kalakaua I plus.

In fact, even if Kalakaua I didn't increase his size, Li Mu would still agree to Kalakaua I's request after taking care of it, did Li Mu train so many soldiers? It was to deal with the rifle teams of the Hawaiian Kingdom, or rather, to deal with those who might be hostile.

Now is really a golden opportunity, if Li Mu helps Kalakaua I suppress those Hawaiian chieftains, and then drives out the British and Americans, then the Chinese can fill the vacuum of Americans and British departures in time, Li Mu can manipulate the Hawaiian Congress to hold a referendum, and then everything will be in order.

"No, no, no, I just want Molokai Island-" Li Mu knew very well what he could and couldn't get.

Among all the islands in Hawaii, Molokai should be the most inconspicuous one, and it is also the least populated, if Li Mu targets Molokai Island, then Li Mu is likely to succeed, but if Li Mu sets the target on Oahu or some other island, even if Li Mu can get his hands on it through Kalakaua I, the future Americans will not agree.

"You see, that's the good thing about you Chinese, because you always know what you can get and what you deserve." Kalakaua I was very pleased with Li Mu.

"Well, my dear majesty, can you tell me what exactly you are going to do?" Li Mu straightened his posture and did not talk nonsense with Kalakaua I.

"Stanley Dewey, Fern Jerome, Robin Chapman – I want them all to die!" Kalakaua I said viciously with red eyes.

It's not bad, after all, Kalakaua I still remembers that Li Mu is an American, and he didn't hit Benjamin and Michael with his ideas, as for Stanley Dewey, yes, although Stanley Dewey is also an American, not all American lives are worth anything these days.
