Chapter 715: Sleepless Night!
~~~~~~
Let Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi go down to rest, recuperate their spirits, and prepare to deal with the 'overall situation' at night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yuanqing lay on the comfortable sofa, closed his eyes and rested, concentrating and thinking.
This time I came to Nanyang, and the trip was much smoother than Li Yuanqing imagined, especially the enthusiasm of the Chinese businessmen for the establishment of the Pan Pacific Trading Company, which made Li Yuanqing feel a little 'hot'!
This is more than 10 million taels of silver, which is indeed a lot!
But~~, this also gave Li Yuanqing a whip like a sword and a neck!
Whose money it is, it is not the wind that blows!
Without the dedication of blood and sweat, how could the Chinese businessmen from outside the household gain a foothold in this strange land?
Even, the sharpness of the contradictions is a hundred times greater than that of the Tujia and Hakka people back then!
But~~, Li Yuanqing saw that on the list of gifts, many small households, and even small Chinese restaurants for husband and wife, gave him Li Yuanqing a gift money, all of which were one hundred or two!
If Li Yuanqing fails them because of this, then ~~, what is the difference between him and the likes of Sun Cannon in later generations?
Although he didn't read much, Li Yuanqing clearly remembered that back then, in the history textbook of junior high school, there was such a sentence, 'Big head, stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution~ life!'" ’
Now that I think about it, this seems to be an accident, but in fact it is already inevitable!
In addition to fooling the common people in front, what else will the cannon do when it comes out and roar in victory, and receive the fruits of victory?
Once something happens and encounters a setback, this guy is faster than a rabbit!
History has proven it!
In any era in the world, the utopians, even if they make some amazing moves, even if they set a precedent in history, can never preserve the fruits of victory!
What a pity!
Many powerful figures in Chinese history are tragic 'conservatives'!
Li Yuanqing sat up, stretched out a little tiredly, took out the humidor, took out one casually, lit it and took a deep breath, and let the thick smoke envelop him.
At this time, the situation is indeed somewhat smooth, but in the follow-up, Li Yuanqing must not slack off for half a point.
According to the reports of Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi, the more than 10 million taels of cash will be fully received within three days.
By September 25, the fleet will be able to return to the sea.
But Li Yuanqing understands better that silver is dead, and such a large wave of silver flowing into Daming is bound to cause certain fluctuations in the overall economic situation of Daming.
At this time, deep in the quagmire of the war in Liaodi, the people of Daming are already bitter enough, if the overall economic situation is worse because of these silvers, this is what Li Yuanqing never wants to see!
However, it is not realistic to consume these silver taels in Southeast Asia.
Steel. Cannon.
The era of the future will be an era of war.
In order to gain a firm foothold in this era and maintain the leading position of the Chinese nation, Li Yuanqing must obtain more favorable strategic resources.
But steel, ore, including craftsmen, Southeast Asia can't give.
Further south, the huge continent where kangaroos inhabit is extremely rich in iron ore, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near!
Not to mention that Australia has not been developed yet, even if it is, this time and distance are too long!
What Li Yuanqing can count on is still the Ming mainland and neighboring island countries.
However, with this silver in hand, Li Yuanqing can finally have enough financial resources to build his ideal fleet!
…………
The dinner began at four o'clock.
Here in Brunei, it is almost close to the tropics, and it is very late in the dark, especially at this time it is early autumn, and it is seven or eight o'clock.
This dinner, don't think about it, Li Yuanqing also knows that there are no five or six hours, it is absolutely not over!
But~, with so much silver as the foundation, Li Yuanqing also let it go, these nearly two thousand tables of banquets, he has to pay tribute to them one by one!
Even if it is just a sip of sake, he must give these Chinese businessmen in Nanyang a face!
Everyone didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would be so desperate, and they couldn't help but be greatly moved!
Especially in these days, with the arrival of the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty in Brunei, they have learned more and more about Li Yuanqing's great achievements!
This is the brightest star of the next year's young generation!
It is also a hero of the Ming Dynasty who really dares to do it with Tartars and really dares to fight tough battles with Tartars!
"Li Shuai!"
"Li Shuai!"
"Li Shuai ......"
Looking at the happy faces around him, Li Yuanqing also completely let go, and after clinking glasses with everyone one by one, he began to drink.
This also instantly made the whole banquet high~ tide one after another, it seems to never stop!
Every time Li Yuanqing walks to a table, this table will instantly become the focus of the audience!
Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuanqing is young and strong, and he is strict with himself all year round, maintaining a tight workout, even if he is very tired, he can still hold on!
At this time~~, when Li Yuanqing finished the process of the last table of the two thousand tables, the entire banquet also reached the highest ~ tide in an instant!
The shout of "Li Shuai, Li Shuai" is almost like piercing the sky!
But at this time, Li Yuanqing's head was almost big, so he hurriedly confessed to everyone, and quickly came to the toilet not far from the next door.
For this flowing water banquet, Li Yuanqing also took great pains! Nearly 1,000 temporary toilets alone have been built.
'Wow, wow, wow' vomited, and asked the soldiers to bring cold water to wash his face, Li Yuanqing felt a lot better.
"Look, fireworks! It's time to set off fireworks! ”
A pro-soldier had sharp eyes and was busy pointing to the clearing in the distance.
Li Yuanqing had recovered a little at this time, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and then looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.
It's fucking past two o'clock.
However, it seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
But Li Yuanqing didn't have the heart to accompany them here anymore, if he didn't go back to rest, he would be an iron man, and he wouldn't be able to stop it.
But Li Yuanqing had just walked in front of the main building, and suddenly saw that the familiar graceful figure was quietly looking at him under the torch on the side.
For a moment, perhaps she also felt Li Yuanqing's somewhat burning gaze, hurriedly lowered her head, and walked quickly to the side into the darkness.
Li Yuanqing was slightly stunned, and suddenly shook his head and smiled, "This is fucking!" ”
After returning to the VIP room here, he asked the soldiers on duty about the news of his wives and concubines, and after learning that they had all come back to rest, Li Yuanqing didn't bother to bother them anymore, and was about to go to the study to spend the night, but a personal soldier came quickly to report: "General, Miss Meng from Jakarta, I want to ask to see you?" ”
"What?"
Li Yuanqing's body suddenly became smart, and the drunkenness in his body also dissipated a lot.
The soldiers were taken aback and hurriedly repeated the words.
Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning, he really couldn't understand, what did Meng Qingzhu want to see him at this time?
Don't......
But for a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and shake his head, how is this possible?
No matter how charming he is, it is impossible for a fairy-like character like Meng Qingzhu to throw himself into his arms, there must be something.
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanqing said, "Please Miss Meng come to the study!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers hurried away.
Li Yuanqing didn't know why, so he hurriedly came to the mirror on the side and tidied up his clothes......
Not long after, Meng Qingzhu was dressed in green clothes, still wearing a thin veil that made people unable to see his face, like a fairy, Shi Shiran came to Li Yuanqing.
She is shallow, "I've seen Li Shuai." ”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Meng doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”
Meng Qingzhu was really polite, even when he sat on the sofa opposite Li Yuanqing, a pair of eyes like a deep pool, looking at Li Yuanqing quietly.
Li Yuanqing suddenly found that he was a little weak by this little beauty, and said with a smile: "Miss Meng came to visit late at night, I don't know what is important?" Yuan Qing listens! ”
But after saying that, Li Yuanqing suddenly wanted to slap himself, this fucking routine is almost cost, and he can't change it!
Meng Qingzhu Shi Ran smiled: "Li Shuai, today, you and the Chinese businessmen here have clinked glasses, but~~, haven't you clinked glasses with the little girl?" ”
"Huh?"
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, he never expected that Meng Qingzhu would actually say such a thing.
Is this, is this a seduction......
But for a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly said, "Miss Meng, you really flattered Yuanqing!" Tonight, I am really busy and dizzy, if there is any inadequate hospitality, please Miss Meng must be Haihan. ”
Meng Qingzhu smiled: "Then Li Shuai will accompany the little girl to have a drink!" ”
As she spoke, she took out a small wine jug and two more small wine glasses, and Shi Shiran placed them on the table.
Li Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly.
Although he likes women, especially beautiful women, he will never be fascinated by beauty.
Meng Qingzhu's wine, he really didn't dare to drink it!
"Huh. Miss Meng is so polite. Let's have a drink! Yuanqing really drank too much tonight, and he still has a headache! ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and beckoned his soldiers to get a bottle of sake.
The soldiers hurried away.
Meng Qingzhu suddenly took off the veil on her pretty face, and looked at Li Yuanqing with a slight smile, "What?" Li Shuai, are you still afraid that the little woman will poison the wine? The little girl has no grievances with Li Shuai, so why do you have to do this self-defeating thing? ”
Li Yuanqing's mind was a little cloudy at this time.
Although he had already expected that Meng Qingzhu would definitely be a country and a city, ~, when he saw her true face, Li Yuanqing was still a little shocked!
This, this is simply a beauty that cannot be described in words.
If Zhang Baozhu is compared to ninety-nine points, then ~~, Meng Qingzhu can almost score a hundred points!
Especially when she laughed, the two small, but sweet dimples at the corners of her mouth that seemed to make people faint were simply ......
"Li Shuai, the little girl will do it first as respect!"
Meng Qingzhu said, picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine, Ying Hong's small mouth drank the wine in one gulp, and signaled to Li Yuanqing The wine glass, there was not a drop left, then he got up, helped Li Yuanqing pour a full glass of wine, and looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile.
This......
