Chapter 539: Crossing to London
Gao Junshan stayed at the Chang'an Hotel until the beginning of the spring of the following year, when he boarded an ocean liner from Chang'an to London, and they left Chang'an on April 2, 1661.
At this time, Liu Fangliang had already left North America, he was the chief supervisor of gold mining, and the task was arduous, after he set up a set of monitoring mechanisms in the large gold mining area of San Francisco, he went to the gold mines in South Africa, and now he is in the new gold mountain in the Golden State (Australia).
Now that there are so many gold mines in China, Gao Junshan has to consider the welfare of the people of China, and the two major problems of pension and medical care are the biggest problems that cannot be avoided, and these problems are not a problem with gold mines.
Gao Junshan ordered to the Ministry of Household that all the gold mined in the gold mines in China must be withdrawn 3 percent as the medical fund of the people of the whole country, and another 2 percent as the pension fund, a total of 5 percent.
This high welfare policy has aroused great attention from Western public opinion, so much so that many foreigners have applied to join the Chinese nationality, and Gao Junshan had to set up a foreigner immigration bureau.
Gao Junshan is also the first time to take a steamer, don't look at him on the ocean here and there, every time he sails is on a battleship, today is the first time to take a big steamer, and it is the highest first class.
The big ship is much more comfortable for the battleship, and although the rest cabin of the battleship is specially built for the high mountains, it is not as comfortable as this first-class cabin. The first-class cabin is located on the third floor of the forward building of the ship, and there are a total of twelve rooms on the entire third floor, Gao Junshan's six ladies and a daughter-in-law occupy seven rooms, and Gao Junshan's one occupies two rooms, one is a bedroom, and one is a study, living room, and dining room.
There is a confidential room for Takayama, and another is a guardhouse for Takayama, and the last one is empty for backup.
The ship departed from Chang'an on 2 April and arrived in the port of London after a twenty-day voyage. Because Gao Mengdie announced the itinerary of Gao Jun Shan in the "Times", the whole of Britain knew the exact arrival time of Gao Jun Shan, so the London docks were bustling, and everyone from the king to the citizens was immersed in a sea of joy.
The ocean liner sailed into the No. 1 wharf, and Gao Junshan stood on the deck and looked down, the wharf was crowded with people and colorful flags fluttering. In the most conspicuous place, a banner welcoming Gao Junshan was unfurled, and the banner was written in Chinese: "Warmly welcome the Emperor of China to visit England!" ”
Li Derong, who served as a guard, came to Gao Junshan with a sad face: "Your Majesty, there are so many people on the dock, how do we do our guard work?" ”
Gao Junshan said to Li Derong: "Don't worry, this is Britain, just like returning to our own land, the British people are friendly to us." ”
Gao Junshan said so, he still had some precautions, he was wearing high-tech body armor, but he didn't tell Li Derong that he had body armor.
On the dock, Gao Mengdie had already made arrangements, ten brand-new jeeps lined up on the dock, and two military trucks were full of heavily armed guards on the dock.
Gao Junshan was the first to walk on the dock, this was the first time he set foot on British soil, and Li Derong followed closely behind him. The warmly welcomed crowd lined up in two lines, with King Cromwell II of England leading his ministers at the front, and he was the first to greet the high mountain.
The two emperors stretched out their hands five steps away, and when they clasped their hands tightly together, Cromwell II said in stiff Chinese: "Welcome! Welcome! ”
Under the introduction of the British king, Gao Junshan met with the British ministers one by one, shook hands with them, and the scene of joyful integration fully reflected the unbreakable friendship between China and Britain.
After meeting with her British friends, Gao Mengdie immediately picked up Gao Junshan into the jeep, Gao Junshan's wives each got into a jeep, and Cao Minzhi took her son to sit with Han Yuyan.
Under the guidance of Gao Mengdie, Gao Junshan sat in the first jeep, Gao Mengdie and his father sat side by side in the back seat, the driver was Zhao Dayu, and Li Derong sat in the co-pilot's seat.
Two large military trucks escorted ten jeeps in the middle, and the order to drive was given by Gao Mengdie, and the convoy slowly used the No. 1 pier to drive towards the Huaxia Embassy.
Gao Junshan hadn't seen his daughter for several years, and he was happy to see her grow up.
"I've heard that your Times is doing a good job, not only in England, but also in our own country."
Gao Mengdie said proudly: "This is nothing, isn't our Huaxia Daily also published an English version in the UK!" ”
Gao Junshan smiled and praised: "You have done everything that your brothers can't do!" ”
Gao Mengdie said excitedly: "Father, the child told you a happy event. ”
"What's the happy event?" Gao Junshan asked curiously, "Is Cambridge University also starting to recruit students?" ”
Gao Mengdie's face was slightly red, and she said, "The affairs of the university are being planned. ”
Gao Junshan was even more curious, and asked, "What kind of happy event is that?" ”
"I'm getting married."
"What!?" This happy event is indeed big enough, Gao Junshan was not psychologically prepared at all, his daughter said that she was going to get married, and his reaction can be imagined, "Is it Wei Xiaobao?" ”
"No, it's William."
"What!?" Gao Junshan was surprised again, "It's an Englishman?" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "Yes, his name is William Tom, and he is my classmate at Chongwen Diplomatic College. ”
Gao Junshan asked, "Why is it so sudden?" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "It's not sudden, we have long had this plan, and now that you are in the UK, we will give you a surprise." ”
Gao Junshan said: "This is indeed a surprise, I tell you, wait a minute, you can tell the queen mother well, such a sudden thing will really frighten people." ”
Gao Mengdie said happily: "So my father agreed?" ”
"I'm not an old-fashioned person, you're my precious daughter, how can I interfere with your marriage? As long as you are in free love and sincerely, why should I not support it? ”
"Long live Father!"
Gao Junshan nodded Gao Mengdie's nose: "This kid, you are too sudden!" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "Wait a minute, get out of the car, and I'll call William to see you." ”
Gao Junshan said: "After all, your marriage involves international relations, I will have a good talk with William, and it is best for the parents of both parties to sit down and hold an engagement ceremony first." ”
"Do you want an engagement ceremony?" Gao Mengdie seemed to be in a hurry, "The parents of both sides have met and will directly hold the marriage ceremony!" ”
Gao Junshan asked: "You are in such a hurry, do you have it?" ”(https:)
