Fourth, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and ask for Sanjiang tickets

After coming to Windsor Castle for the fourth time, the scenery was the same, but Zhu Jishi, who was waiting to see the driver, had a very different mentality.

The date of departure from England was set, on February 10, 1845. The start-up funds of Hong Kong Jishi University and Jishi College have also been secured. Maria. Clementina sponsored 50,000 pounds, and the 1844 dividends of the Jishi Bank also went to Zhu Jishi's pocket of 95,000 pounds, and the two added up, and the Jishi Foundation, which was responsible for funding Jishi University and Jishi College, already had 145,000 pounds.

And the money is still in London, so there's a lot of room to operate. Cospel. William drew up a commercial jihua for Zhu Jishi, used the funds of the Nanyang Trading Company to purchase five armed merchant ships, and then used the 145,000 pounds of the Jishi Foundation to purchase textiles, steel (not iron but steel, before the invention of the converter steelmaking method, steel was extremely expensive), explosives, Western medicine, wine, clocks and watches, a total of thousands of tons of goods, not only filled the five armed merchant ships of the Nanyang Trading Company, but also hired two British merchant ships.

According to Liu Peng's estimates, after these goods are sold in India and Nanyang, after all the costs are removed, at least 250,000 pounds in cash can be recovered, and if Zhu Jishi is willing to piggyback on the opium of the East India Company, this figure can be doubled!

In addition to commodities and funds, the person who accompanied Zhu Jishi to Hong Kong has also been selected. Naturally, Mrs. Duran has to accompany her, and it is a long way, and if there is no beautiful woman to accompany her, it is really lonely. Of course, Han Si and Liu Peng, the two henchmen, accompanied him, but Liu Jiong was still an auditor at the Royal Military Academy in Sanchester, so he couldn't go together. Some of the senior staff of the World Bank and the scientists of the Jason Central Laboratory will also be transferred to Hong Kong, and the World Bank and its subordinate Nanyang Trading Company are preparing to invest heavily in the construction of docks, warehouses, shipyards, steel mills, explosives factories and a series of other industries in Hong Kong, of course, managers and engineers are needed. The last time he met Zhu Jishi in a restaurant in Manchester, Bessemak was appointed as the director of the Hong Kong Iron Works of the Bank, and Jones, who went to Hong Kong first, became the general manager of Nanyang Trading Company.

Dr. Blomstein, whom Zhu met on the day he arrived, and his wife, Lize, who had just passed away, are also on the list to go to Hong Kong, where he is the director of the University Hospital and will also serve as the dean of the University School of Medicine.

Although Jeseki University has not yet officially opened, because the president of Jeseki University is Zhu Jishi, the university's medical school is already considered to be the most Haode medical school in the whole of Shijie, and there is no one. As a result, many of the leading medical professors in Europe have expressed their willingness to teach in Hong Kong, and some graduates of first-class European medical universities are willing to pursue a master's degree in clinical medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of Jesy University. Therefore, there are still many European students on the sailboat to Hong Kong - as for the diploma of clinical medicine and basic medicine of Jishi University, it has always been the best in the medical field!

In addition, the Charles. The five old French officers recommended by Bonaparte to Zhu Jishi also took their families to London in early February 1845 and lived in Maria. Inside Clementina's villa. Externally, these people are Maria. Clementina hired for Zhu Jishi to teach at the Military Academy of Jeshi University. Since they were not French active soldiers, and had previously served as mercenaries in Egypt, India and other places, it was reasonable for them to be hired by Zhu Jishi.

In addition to the above people, Cambridge University and the Royal Military College of Sanchester also sent a lot of teachers, two of whom are also old acquaintances of Zhu Jishi, Robert Brown. Lieutenant Colonel Churchill was appointed as the dean of the Military Academy of Hong Kong Chi Shi University - after all, the military academy involves national security, of course, it cannot be private, and the Military College of Hong Kong Ji Shi University is actually a branch of the Royal Military College in Sanchester, and most of the instructors are appointed by the British, but the salaries of these people are borne by the Ji Shi University. Will. Hemming once again put on the red military uniform and hung up the rank of captain, and he will also teach at the Military Academy of Hong Kong Chi Shi University. Churchill's deputy.

Today, these two also accompanied Zhu Jishi to Windsor Castle for an audience. The three of them walked down the spacious and extravagant corridors, through door after door, through hall after hall, and Zuihou stopped outside Queen Victoria's office.

"Come in." It was the Queen's voice, and it sounded exceptionally soft.

John. Brown pushed open a door, and Zhu Jishi, Qiu Fatzi, and Will. Hemmingfish run in. According to standard etiquette, he knelt down on one knee and bowed to Bixia, the queen of the British Empire, behind his desk.

……

"Well, please take a seat."

In the end, the emperor of England is not as high as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it is unlikely that people will kneel down to talk to themselves, and they will say "please sit" instead of "give sit", and those who are invited to sit do not need to thank them.

On the opposite side of the Queen's desk, three carved armchairs with velvet cushions have already been set up, and it is very comfortable to sit on.

If you really want to be the emperor in the future, you should be casual, Zhu Jishi thought to himself.

"Jason, Albert has some business to go to London, and I'm here to meet you today." Victoria's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, and Zuihou fell on Robert. Churchill.

"You're Robert? The younger brother of the Duke of Marlborough? ”

"Yes."

"Lieutenant Colonel now?"

"Yes."

"Hopefully, in the near future, you will become a general."

Robert. Churchill stood up and said, "Bixia, the minister must work hard!" ”

Queen Victoria nodded, then turned her gaze back to Will. Hemming," Captain Hemming. ”

"The minister is here."

"Sir Stephen, Undersecretary of the Colony, reports that the Hong Kong Police Force is preparing to be established on May 1 this year, and the Hong Kong Police Force will be established later, and I am ready to make you the first Commissioner of Hong Kong Police."

"Xiexiebixia, the minister will not be dishonored!"

The Commissioner of Police in the Colony is a pretty good advantage, especially when he is the Commissioner of Police on Hong Kong Island, which is a trading base with China. Hai Ming's heart suddenly felt the emperor's grace! When Zhu Jishi heard this, he frowned slightly.

The three people who met the queen today were mainly themselves, and they were also Viscounts. Churchill and Will. Heming is tall and familiar with the queen and his wife, but the queen talked to Qiu Fatzi and Haiming first, and ignored herself.

In addition, he also promised Qiu Fat a general in front of himself and rewarded Will. Hemming is on an errand with a police commissioner, what does this mean?

"Robert, Hemming, you can retire." The queen waved her hand and let the fat man and Will. Hemming exited his office before looking at Zhu Jishi with blazing eyes.

"Jason, now you're not only friends with Albert, but also friends with the British Empire." The queen behind the desk glanced at Zhu Jishi deeply, "The friendship of the British Empire is incomparably precious, and it cannot be betrayed!" ”

It seems that the British Empire only has eternal interests, and no eternal friends! Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi smiled and nodded at the queen, and said, "Bixia, I will be a friend of the British Empire forever......"

"I've written this down, and I hope you can always remember it!" Of course, there is another meaning behind Queen Bixia's words, if you Zhu Jishi dare to forget that you are a dog of the British Empire, the consequences will be very serious!
