C2274 Benjamin had used up all his resources! (2/2)

This way, more and more rich people would be able to participate. Slowly, this would become a huge benefit society, and the people in this group would naturally get closer to Xiao Letian.

The people in Tory Party were already jealous, who knew how many people were going to come in contact with the Duke of Newcastle behind his back, probably there were more traitors than that.

Benjamin did not care about the pressure outside Britain, but he could not afford to be careless when opposing it inside the country. After a long period of rule, although the Tory Party had countless achievements, they still accumulated a lot of grievances, and only God knew when this volcano would erupt.

This was not a false alarm. In this framing, the British did not openly support their prime minister.

The rumors of the Liberal Party members taking walks in the streets were unfavorable to them, and the newspapers were uncontrollable. Gradually, the hearts of the people wavered, and there were even some citizens of London who believed these lies.

Benjamin was almost at his breaking point, all of his treasures were on top of Tongzhi now, and he gave Gordon the greatest pressure, requesting him to come to an agreement with Tongzhi as soon as possible.

As long as he signed the military assistance agreement with Emperor Tongzhi, the treaty that would benefit Britain the most, then all opposition in the country would be suppressed.

As for the voices of doubt overseas, Benjamin did not care.

”There's no need for too much, as long as I can take down one of the railways. If I were to hand over the authority to manage the railways from the Beijing to Shanghai, all the opponents would kneel in front of me, wagging their tails and begging for mercy!”

”This is the real deal, Xiao Letian's bullsh * t business is nothing compared to this kind of business, with this treaty, all of the domestic capitalists will come to support me, haha … ”Hahaha!”

Amidst the laughter, Benjamin was already close to insanity.

But is the Tongzhi Emperor that easily deceived? With Er Mao's advice, Zai Chun already understood what it meant to raise the price on the spot, and what it meant to watch the situation unfold. The more pressure the situation gave Benjamin, the more benefits he would receive.

Under Xiao Letian's conspiracy, even Zai Chun received a piece of meat that was incomparably fat.

During this period of time, Gordon had completely recovered his status as an official of the Great Qing, he almost claimed that he was a servant and waited on Tongzhi like he was his father.

Museum, Botanic Garden, Zoo, Circus... Zai Chun had gone completely crazy, but as long as they talked about specific matters of cooperation, this brat would just say whatever he wanted to say, and he would not even give a single word of it to Wang Gu.

In the end, Gordon had even used the biggest bargaining chip that Benjamin had given him, ”Your Majesty, in order to show our sincerity, the Prime Minister has agreed. As long as Your Majesty agrees that the British Railway Company is able to build a railroad in the Great Qing …”

”Then we can modify the Beijing treaty between China and the United Kingdom, such as the Great Qing Customs and Excise Department that He De is in charge of!”

Gordon was like a demon tempting the young Zai Chun, ”Your Majesty, as long as you agree, you can send your trusted aides to the customs office. From today onwards, the General Revenue Department will have a double officer system …”

”This is not the end result. Later on, when the railway from Beijing to Shanghai is repaired, we can even return the control of the customs back to you!”

”Think about it carefully. The entire Qing Province's customs is controlled by you. Is there any other source of income in this world?”
