The sun is sinking in the west, the moon is rising in the east, and the combined fleet is getting closer and closer to the heart of the British Empire, bypassing Cape North Forland and passing through the Strait of Dover, Xiao Lotian and they finally saw the waves of the North Sea again.

All the veterans who participated in the first trip to Europe sighed, and many of them remembered their comrades-in-arms who died in Europe, and tears could not help but flow.

Xiao Letian recalled the bits and pieces of the Austro-Prussian War, recalled the scene of being besieged by the French fleet in the North Sea, and the Prussian civilian ships desperately tried to save themselves, and his nose was sour and he almost shed tears.

"I'm back, I'm back......"

Just when he was sighing, Jae Chun's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Master...... The Duke of Newcastle has already returned to the Glory by barge, and Brother Xiang Ying has just said that we will arrive at the mouth of the Thames in two hours......"

Xiao Letian hurriedly rubbed his sour nose, suppressed the sour feeling in his eyes, turned his head and said, "Got it, you also asked the senior to prepare your belongings early......"

"Since you want to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the truth of the British, then I can't stop you, master, but be prepared! Don't fall into the majesty of the emperor when you go out, the gifts brought out by the Forbidden City must be carefully distributed, we are going to more than Britain in Europe, don't use them all at once......"

"In terms of money, I asked Jin Sanshun to send you another 200,000 pounds in cash, although the UK is in charge of all your expenses, but some necessary rewards are indispensable, and you won't bite your hand if you have more money......."

Xiao Letian is like a father, who is earnestly teaching his son to leave the house and live in the school alone, his eyes reveal real emotions, and Zaichun really feels the reluctance in the master's heart.

"Master...... I...... If I don't go, I'll still study by your side......" Jae-chun is still a child after all, and his heart is uncertain.

Xiao Lotian smiled and patted Zaichun on the shoulder, "Go, isn't this the independence you have long hoped for? Do you think that the Forbidden City and the Forty-Nine City are prisons, so the Chinese people will not be restrained? In fact, they are all the same......"

"It's a pity that you are the emperor, you have this unshirkable responsibility on your shoulders, if you are an ordinary child or a child of a noble family, I will not let you go, I will definitely let you mature for a few more years......"

"But after all, you are the Emperor of Tongzhi! In two years, you will definitely have to return to Beijing to govern in person, time is running out for you, you have to learn to be on your own!"

Xiao Letian's smile had a hint of bitterness, "I won't stop you, I won't stop you anymore, it's a dragon that is about to fly into the sky, don't be afraid of what you should face, go all the way!"

Jae-chun's tears fell suddenly, and he frowned at the British with the master behind his back, but the master not only took care of himself so much.

200,000 pounds does not seem like a lot, which is not a lot of money for the Chinese economy, but Jae Chun knows that his master's career is in a difficult climbing period, and he earns a lot but spends a lot.

Industrialization and the big navy are all industries that invest heavily in the early stage to see the benefits, Xiao Letian has gold and silver in the warehouse, but unfortunately all of them have been planned, and all departments have already been looted, and it is not easy to squeeze out 200,000 pounds for Zaichun.

"Master......" Zaichun choked up all of a sudden, he not only moved the master's money, but of course there were heart-warming words, when he came out of the Forbidden City, Eniang didn't hold his hand to talk about family life.

No one cares about his well-being, and no one teaches him how to deal with all kinds of emergencies, maybe in the eyes of those nobles in the Forbidden City, Zaichun is cold or not, hungry or not, whether he is in a good mood or not, it doesn't matter if there are eunuchs in charge anyway.

But after all, people are emotional animals, especially teenage children, who are on the verge of a rebellious period, Xiao Lotian knows too well what kind of eccentric character a child who lacks love will evolve into in the end.

"Okay, okay, don't look like you're out of luck, you shouldn't suffer if you go to Buckingham Palace, after all, Britain needs to cooperate with you, they don't have the ability to control Asia alone, as long as you are careful and stabilize your emotions, you will definitely gain something......"

Jae-chun twitched his nose a few times and said to the master, "You and the Duke of Newcastle have just had such a wonderful business negotiation, I know that this is the master is preaching and receiving karma for me! I must learn from the master, and when negotiating, I must be very competitive, and I will never let them be deceived......

Xiao Letian was happy when he heard it, and said in his heart What did I do, why did so many people desperately interpret it? Wang Ju said that I was self-defiled, and Zaichun said that I was teaching him by word and deed, why are all my thoughts so confused, don't I want to make some money?

But he couldn't say this directly, so he had to follow Jae Chun's words and continue, "Don't think too much, negotiation is a university question, and your Taoism is really not enough now!"

"Bargging, you must learn to fight without breaking, people in the sword are easy to fall into emotion, can you control your emotions and not get angry?

"The master can only tell you one sentence, when you can't make a decision, just shut up and don't speak...... You must know that the previous negotiations between countries have to be negotiated for several years, and it is completely normal to delay it!"

"As long as you grasp this procrastination trick, I don't think you will suffer too much loss......"

As the sun set, the master and apprentice at the bow of the ship leaned together, pointing to the farms, hills, towns, and factories on the distant land...... Xiao Lotian is doing his best to instill some negotiation skills in Jae Chun, he knows that his hard work may not be of much use, but he must fulfill the obligations of a master.

Everyone else on the Zhiyuan subconsciously avoided the corner where the master and apprentice were, because everyone knew that an hour and a half later, Jae Soon would break up with the Führer and take his subordinates to the British soil in advance.

Give them some more time to be alone, everyone is reluctant to disturb the master and apprentice, and the afterglow of the sunset is sprinkled on the two of them, a golden color.
