C3377 Dispersal of banquet (2/2)

In fact, these people were even greedier, more fearful, more perverted …

Since the two families were at loggerheads, they found a few middlemen to discuss the situation and come to an agreement with each other. After all, I apologize to you, but you will compensate me with two bags of millet.

One day the clouds passed!

The two Spanish victims, who had the right to speak, were both soft men, one asking for ten million pounds, the other renouncing all claims.

Of course, this result caused dissatisfaction among many officials in Spain, but so what? He was no longer able to send out the Expeditionary forces, and the UK would not help either. If he did not agree to the conditions set by the Chinese people, he might not even be able to get his hands on 10 million pounds.

I might as well put it in my pocket!

The ”Luzon Treaty” was signed one month after the ”Western Australia Land Purchase Treaty” was signed!

The cowardly king of Spain had sold all the Spanish colonies in the Luzon, the Visayas, Palawan, Sulu islands, including Guam, to the Chinese for ten million pounds.

But as the Spanish governor and general retreated to Mindanao with their few remaining troops, in order to preserve some face in the empire, Mindanao remained a Spanish colony.

However, the barren Mindanao could not be developed at all. It was even surrounded by the Chinese forces, and in less than five years, the economy had become a vassal of the Chinese.

In an era where Chinese immigrants filled the cotton orchids, the National Independence Movement broke out once again. That time, the Chinese did not even spend a single cent of their money to achieve national independence on this island!

Ten million pounds for the Philippines, thirty-five million for the South Indian Ocean islands and the lands of the Western Australia!

Xiao Letian had made the biggest deal in the whole world, and could even be called the biggest King in the nineteenth century!

The soundly asleep Xiao Letian was still muttering to himself, ”Productivity ah …” Only Productivity can... can save China... ”

”Technology...” ”My technology has exploded …”

The soundly asleep Xiao Letian didn't know that in the distant eastern Europe, in the Croatia area governed by the Hungary, the fate of a little boy had changed because of Xiao Letian.

A few mysterious guests suddenly arrived at a normal Serb family in the small town of Karl Lovats, northwest of Croatia.

The family was owned by an ordinary Orthodox churchman, different from the usual rich bishop, the father of five children named Leviathan, who was just a pastor in a country church.

He was an extremely poor cleric who could not even support his own children, and today he was at the dinner table talking to his fourth son, who he hoped would give up his studies and go to free church school.

”My child, you should think about it again. Entering the church school that father once studied in, you can inherit the father's work!”

”Become a respected priest, and you will never worry about food or clothing!”

”Father, I'm very sorry. I really don't know how to solve the problem of your tuition. Your brothers and sisters have to spend money …”

The fifteen-year-old boy lowered his head in silence. Only his naughty sister could see the reddened eyes of her brother under the table.

It was at this moment that someone knocked on the broken wooden door. In the dead of the night, a guest unexpectedly came to this poor family of pastors.
