Chapter 121 - Letian Firm's Gold Card
When Xiao Letian finished resting, it was already noon of the second day. When he opened his eyes, he saw four young beauties lying on the tatami.
”Huh?!” Where was this? Why was there a woman? What did I do last night, could it be... Heavens, it can't be, right? How could I not remember anything? Losing. What a loss.
Just as Xiao Letian was about to sneak in a sneak attack on a big-chested beauty beside him, a maid who was sleeping lightly suddenly opened his eyes. The Prime Minister woke up … ”Sorry, please forgive us for being disrespectful, we should not have fallen asleep …” After which, he kowtowed.
Xiao Letian was furious, just as he was about to dig his way in through the collar, he said something that woke up all the servants. The four girls immediately kowtowed and wanted to forgive Xiao Letian.
”Forget it, why would I kowtow in such a huge matter? Where am I?” When Xiao Letian found out that she was actually living in the Shouli City's imperial harem, she was so scared that her hair stood on end.
”Someone come!” ”Who's serving outside? Hurry up and die for me …” While they were talking, the Japanese sliding door opened, Dragon Lord and Luo Huo ran in, their big feet stepping on the tatami s until they were just footprints.
”Are you stupid? How can you let me sleep in the Shouli City's harem? If you were to charge me with the sin of a lecherous royalty, wouldn't those clear streams eat me? ”Immediately give the order to keep this a secret, to not let anyone else know …”
Xiao Letian was still cursing when he said with a bitter face, ”Ah, my lord, it's too late … This morning, Long Ma had already come to the southern palace gate to request an audience. Japanese already knew that you were sleeping here … ”
Xiao Letian was furious, he was especially angry at himself for being so weak, he could not hold on for a day and a night, how could he suddenly fall asleep, this body was truly worth training. Just as he was angry, the Minister of Revenue, Lin Yuanmiao, came running over with a group of people. The Prime Minister was furious, and their faces turned pale.
Right now, Xiao Letian's position was no different than the Three Kingdoms' Cao Cao Cao's power. The Ryukyu Kingdom's imperial guards were disbanded by Xiao Letian, and like sand, mixed into the large number of Chinese people, all of the elite soldiers that followed Xiao Letian were promoted to the middle and lower ranks. Xiao Letian's control over the army was unshakable.
Furthermore, Ryukyu Kingdom urgently needed Xiao Letian's financial support right now, so the entire treasury had been completely cleaned out, and it was only worth seven hundred thousand silver. To depend on such a small amount of money to support an entire country, was simply delusional.
There was money and guns, and his prestige was extremely high. If this wasn't Cao Cao, then what else could it be? It was understandable for Lin Yuanmiao and the others to be so frightened that their faces turned pale.
”Prime Minister, why are you angry? Could it be that these lowly maidservants don't want to offend you? ”I will immediately deal with it and change it for you …” Lin Yuanmiao still had not finished speaking, but he was already angered to the point of being happy.
”Bullsh * t …” Do you really treat me as a debauchee? ”It's too late for me to hide from these things, aren't you guys just holding me up and roasting me …” When Xiao Letian had tactfully voiced out his worries, Lin Yuanmiao patted his head and said, ”Aiya, Prime Minister is overthinking things, there's no need to be so particular about etiquette in Ryukyu, no one will recognize that. Just look at this Shouli City, there aren't even that many eunuchs.
Forget it, Xiao Letian did not explain it to him. He quickly let the servant change clothes and wash, then casually ate a few mouthfuls of food before leaving the palace to busy himself with his own matters. Before leaving, he ordered everyone to return to the Cherry Blossom House.
Xiao Letian rushed to the dock immediately. He wanted to meet with the foreign merchants from various countries, especially the American captain, Dan Nier. He had to thank him personally. Right now, the title that President Lin Ken wanted, was already in Xiao Letian's hands.
In Western politics, the chancellor is the equivalent of the prime minister, as in the case of Britain and Germany, where the royal family reigns but the prime minister reigns. This meant that the Prime Minister Xiao Letian already possessed the authority to negotiate with his own country.
Xiao Letian and Captain Dan Nier did not waste any time on words, they immediately sent Dan Nier to the Tanggu to find the Letian Firm, and the 200 thousand silver they had left over to buy the goods on the ship was actually equivalent to thanking him for the gift. If Dan Nier did not need the silver taels, he would have priority to get the most goods from the Letian Firm. He believed that he would be able to make a lot of money after shipping them to the United States.
However, there was only one condition. After arriving at the Tanggu, Xiao Letian immediately contacted Minister Hua Ruohan and quickly brought the Special Envoy and the latest intelligence back to the North America Continent. Xiao Letian was looking forward to the response from the United States and also looked forward to signing a treaty with them.
The coin machine, scissor boat s, cannons and the most advanced Gun s, these treasures that made Xiao Letian's mind wander had finally hope to be obtained. How could he not be excited?
Xiao Letian was not the only excited one, Dan Nier and Mike were also very excited now, since they had won the military adventure, now was the time to reap the rewards, as long as Xiao Letian did not fall, then the most interesting business on the route to the Ryukyu.
After sending off Dan Nier and Mike, Xiao Letian urgently discussed the details of the military expenditures with all the merchant ships that had provided firepower support. He never thought that the captains of these armed merchant ship would actually ask for so much, to the point that each ship would cost twenty thousand gold.
