It was already noon the next day when Xiao Lotian had completely rested, and when he opened his eyes, he saw four disheveled young beauties lying on the tatami mats.

Huh, where is this, how can there be women, what did I do last night, do I say...... Oh my God, no, I can't remember anything, I don't even remember anything about such a cool thing?

Just when Xiao Letian was sneaking around and wanted to sneak attack a big-breasted beauty next to him, suddenly a maid who was sleeping very lightly opened her eyes. "The Prime Minister is awake...... I'm sorry, please forgive us for the sin of disrespect, we shouldn't be asleep......" and kowtowed.

Xiao Letian was so angry, he was about to take it out of the neckline, but this sentence woke up all the maids, and the four girls kowtowed as soon as they opened their eyes, and asked Xiao Letian to forgive their sins.

"Forget it, why are you kowtowing to such a big thing, where am I?" When Xiao Lotian knew that he actually lived in the harem of Shuri City, he was scared and sweaty.

"Someone, who is waiting outside, hurry up and give me a ......dead one" The Japanese-style sliding door opened as he spoke, and Long Ye and Luo Huo ran in, and the bigfoot girl stepped on the tatami mats with footprints.

"How can you let me sleep in the harem of Shuri Castle, if this is to detain me for an obscene royal sin, those clear streams will not be allowed to eat me......?

Xiao Letian still scolded, but Luo Huo said with a bitter face, "My lord, it's too late...... This morning, the man named Ryoma has come to Nangong Gate to ask for a visit, and the Japanese already know that you are sleeping here......"

Xiao Letian is so angry, he is especially angry that his body bones are so weak, he can't stand it after a day and a night, how can he suddenly fall asleep, this body bones really have to be practiced. Just when he was angry, Hubu Shangshu Lin Yuanmiao ran over with a group of people, and the prime minister was furious, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Now Xiao Letian's status is no different from the power of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, the Royal Forest Army of the Ryukyu Kingdom has broken up Xiao Letian, mixed with a large number of Chinese like sand, and those elite soldiers who follow Xiao Lotian have been promoted to middle and low-level officers, Xiao Letian's control over the army is already unshakable.

In addition, now the Ryukyu Kingdom urgently needs Xiao Letian's financial support, and the entire treasury has swept the bottom of the treasury, and it is only more than 700,000 taels of silver, and it is simply delusional to rely on this money to support a country.

He has money and guns, and his prestige is extremely high, what else can this be if this is not Cao Cao? Lin Yuanmiao's face turned white with fright, and it was reasonable.

"Prime Minister, why are you angry?Is it that these cheap maids are not good at serving you and provoke you?I will deal with it immediately and change your ...... immediately" Lin Yuanmiao hadn't finished speaking, Xiao Letian was angry.

"You fart...... Do you really treat me as a drunkard? It's too late for me to hide these things, aren't you just roasting me......" After Xiao Letian euphemistically expressed his worries, Lin Yuanmiao patted his head, "Oh, the prime minister is too worried, our Ryukyu country doesn't pay so much attention to it, and no one recognizes the etiquette here, just look at this Shouli City, there are not even a few eunuchs, Your Majesty looks at the prime minister's hard work, it's not an exaggeration to send a few beauties, it's really not an exaggeration......"

Forget it, Xiao Letian couldn't tell him clearly, so he quickly asked the maid to change clothes and wash, ate two mouthfuls of food casually and hurried out of the palace to do his own thing, and when he left, he ordered everyone to withdraw to Sakura's house, but the palace could no longer live.

After the war, things were complicated, Xiao Letian rushed to the dock as soon as possible, and he wanted to personally meet with foreign businessmen from various countries, especially American captain Daniel, and he had to thank him personally. Now President Lincoln's desired title Xiao Lotian has gotten his hands on it, and he has obtained a prime minister's position beyond expectations.

In the Western concept of politics, the prime minister is also equivalent to the prime minister, for example, the United Kingdom and Germany are both prime ministers, with the royal family on it, but the affairs of governing the country are all given to the prime minister. Therefore, Xiao Letian, the prime minister, already has the power to negotiate with the state.

Xiao Lotian didn't have the slightest nonsense with Captain Daniel, and gave Daniel a note to ask him to go to Tanggu to find Lotte Yangxing, and 200,000 taels of silver to buy the remaining goods on the Endeavour, which was actually equivalent to a thank you gift. If Daniel doesn't want cash, he can also get the equivalent value of the most sought-after Daqing goods from Lotte Ocean, and I believe that he will make a lot of money after shipping to the United States.

But there is only one premise, immediately after arriving in Tanggu, contact Minister Hua Ruohan, and return to the North American continent with the envoy and the latest information as soon as possible, Xiao Letian is looking forward to the response of the United States, and also looks forward to signing a treaty of cooperation in Naha.

Mints, flying clippers, artillery and the most advanced foreign guns, these treasures that haunted Xiao Letian's soul finally had hope, how could he not be excited.

It's not just Xiao Lotian who is excited, now Daniel and Mike are also excited, since this military adventure has won the bet, now is the time to harvest, as long as Xiao Lotian does not fall, then the United States-Ryukyu-Daqing route, the most oily business can not be run.

After sending Daniel and Mike away, Xiao Lotian urgently discussed the details of military expenses with all the merchant ships that had provided fire support, but he didn't expect the captains of these armed merchant ships to really open their mouths, and each ship actually cost 20,000 taels of military expenses.

Damn, it's really dark, Xiao Letian counted more than 40 merchant ships that fired cannons, this is 800,000 taels of military expenses, and the robbery is not as ruthless as theirs.

"Mr. Xiao, you have to take into account our difficulties, we are just merchants providing you with fire support, it is a very big risk, and even if we return to China, we will be judged, 20,000 taels is already the lowest and lowest amount, isn't it very cost-effective to exchange such a small amount of money for the Ryukyu Kingdom to get rid of the slavery of the Japanese......"

"Mr. Xiao, you should know that our armed intervention can give you extra points at the negotiating table, this world belongs to the West, as long as you have our support, what can't you do?"

Arrogance, really arrogance, but foreigners have the truth of arrogance, the current world is indeed under the control of the West as they say, there are basically no spare colonies in the world, and the Western forces are indeed invincible at present.

People are under the low wall, so they have to bow their heads, but now Xiao Letian really doesn't have so much money to use, the 700,000 yuan in the Ryukyu treasury is not enough to spend, and the millions of dollars obtained from the raid are not enough for reconstruction. As for how much money Tanggu can send, it's still uncertain.

Xiao Letian is still inseparable from the support of these foreign businessmen, but he doesn't want to spend so much money, so he finally came up with a compromise plan.

"Gentlemen, I give you two choices, the first is to pay for the military expenses of 20,000 taels according to what you said, and I will pay with the Mexican Eagle Ocean, and the payment location is Tanggu Lotte Bank in the Qing Dynasty...... And the second method is a bit special, I will make a batch of Lotte foreign V-shaped gold cards, from now on the holder of this card is my key customers of Lotte foreign company......"

As soon as Xiao Lotian finished speaking, the captains of the group began to exchange ears, and some businessmen said disdainfully, "Mr. Xiao, your Lotte Bank has just been established, right? How much strength can it have? I still choose cash......

The vast majority of businessmen still opt for cash, but there are exceptions. Among the forty armed merchant ships, six merchant ships belonging to France and four British merchant ships unexpectedly chose the second option, which made Xiao Letian stunned.

"Mr. Xiao, we are very familiar with Captain Corsica, and we drank together on the day he left......" The sentence implied that Xiao Lotian naturally understood, or Corsican revealed the news to them, this is really a group of lucky people.

Those short-sighted businessmen will soon regret it, when they see that these members with Lotte foreign bank gold cards can easily borrow from foreign banks at low interest rates, and can cut the queue at Tanggu Wharf without queuing, and can always get those in-demand goods as soon as possible, their intestines will be ruined.

Twenty thousand taels of silver is a lot, but for ocean trade, this amount of money is simply a drizzle, just a small sesame seed.

After pacifying these foreigners, the sky has gradually darkened, and when Xiao Lotian stepped off the merchant ship and returned to the dock, he found Sakamoto Ryoma standing there with the guards waiting for him in a regular manner.

Between Xiao Letian's surprise, Long Ye said in a low voice, "This Japanese has been standing for more than two hours, no matter how much we coax him, he won't leave." He's a messenger, so we can't be rude......"

Xiao Lotian walked up to Sakamoto Ryoma, in exchange for the other party's respectful ninety-degree bow, "Mr. Xiao, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to dinner, I spent a day to prepare, I hope you can appreciate your face!"

Xiao Lotian looked at him for a long time, "If I don't agree, do you want to stand all the time?" Do you want to put pressure on me by acting in such a bitter scene in front of foreigners?"

Sakamoto Ryoma said in a low voice, "Indeed, I had such a small calculation before, but now I have figured it out, in front of the Grandmaster of Western Studies, I don't have the qualifications to brush my heart at all, I am just a post-scholar today, a loyal reader of "Westward Journey", please dine...... I assure you, this is definitely not a negotiation. ”

Xiao Lotian didn't have to look back to know that the deck of the merchant ship behind him must be full of foreigners, and when they saw the Japanese envoy waiting so humbly, they would definitely improve their evaluation of themselves, and maybe this little story would spread all over the Qing Dynasty and even to the European continent with the mouths of foreigners.

Killing, this is the inevitable murder. But this kind of conspiracy is unsolvable, and this Japanese is really cunning and cunning.

"It seems that I can't give you face, if I don't go today, you may turn around and encourage tens of thousands of Japanese people to kowtow and cry at my doorstep, you are determined to kill me? You want to roast me on the flame of Qing officialdom to roast ......"

Before Xiao Letian finished speaking, Xiao Hexin beside him had already figured it out, "Damn, this Japanese is too bad, this is trying to kill people with a knife and let the court harm you, Mr." A sentence woke up the surrounding guards, only to hear the sound of a weapon unsheathed, and the next second he was going to chop this Japanese into meat sauce.

Sakamoto Ryoma was not afraid, nor did he want to resist, he just looked at Xiao Lotian calmly and said lightly, "I have read Mr.'s masterpiece, I believe in the moral standard of a peerless national warrior, if you want to do it, then please......"

Oh, this is still a piece of hob meat! Xiao Lotian is convinced, Sakamoto Ryoma is worthy of being a famous person in history for the Restoration, and this courage and scheming are already admirable.
