Section 423 A Land of Abundance

"Haha, my dear niece and son-in-law, I miss my uncle and grandfather to death!"

When the car drove into the Irkutsk Governor's Palace, the Tsar's temporary palace, Grand Duke Nicholas, the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, gave Yang Chao a warm hug and kissed him left and right on the face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yang Chao slandered in his heart: "This unlucky generation." ”

Grand Duke Nicholas was the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II, but he was not the uncle and grandfather of Tsar Origa, and he became his nephew and son-in-law.

"Dear Grand Duke Nikolai, I miss you too."

Yang Chao couldn't open this tooth and called him uncle and grandfather, just call him Grand Duke Nicholas.

"Okay, come in with me, you will be gone for half a year, and our old friends will be forgotten, Your Majesty is very unhappy, see how you explain."

Snubbing his daughter-in-law for more than half a year, it is indeed unreasonable, Yang Chao is also big for a while, he is not at ease with the personal discipline of the Russian noblewoman, if anyone brings him a green hat, there is no need to doubt, there is no doubt that the other party is dead, because Yang Chao is not a person who can bear it.

"Natasha, tell me, who has His Majesty been in contact with during my absence? I mean men! ”

Before entering the hall, when she saw Natasha, the tsar's female official, come out, she immediately stopped and asked first.

Natasha laughed, "Not really. The Russian aristocracy was moral. ”

It's weird!

Yang Chaocai didn't believe it, he believed in technology, and quietly looked at the test watch, there was no problem, Natasha didn't lie, so he was relieved.

Then with a smile on his face, he walked through the door: "Honey, I'm back!" ”

Saying that, open your arms and be sure to give your wife a big hug before she gets mad.

After walking into the heavy mahogany door, Yang Chao was stunned, his wife was indeed there, but there were too many people.

Entering the main entrance, there is an inquiry, a marble floor that can reflect the figure of a person, a stone dome above, hanging a large crystal ceiling, extremely extravagant, in this luxurious place, the Russian nobles with jewels and treasures overshadowed everything, because compared to the building, they are the most ornate.

Silk, fur, gold, diamonds, pearls, jadeite, it is said that the world's jewelry market during this period of time is supported by these guys, they are trying to get back what they sold in the past, and get it back even harder.

And this group of people is full of gratitude to Yang Chao, because if Yang Chao hadn't withstood Soviet Russia in Siberia back then, they wouldn't even have this last place to live, let alone the current wealth, it can be said that their lives were saved by Yang Chao, and the wealth was also given by Yang Chao, what the tsar couldn't give them in the past, Yang Chao gave them now.

But when they saw Yang Chao now, they didn't speak, they were watching quietly, with a smile on their faces, and there was a Dao between them, and at the end of Dao'er, there was a big seat, on which sat a gorgeously dressed figure, holding a scepter, and wearing a double-headed eagle crown, it was the female Tsar Oliga, dressed like Catherine the Great in an oil painting.

Yang Chao looked upright and strode over.

"Honey, miss me!"

All of a sudden, the pretentious daughter-in-law picked up from the throne.

Origa didn't expect this, she also thought that her husband would sit slowly like a quiet beautiful man, and then kneel in front of him, hold his arm and kiss it gently, and then say "Honey, you are so beautiful".

But Yang Chao picked her up and spun around, which frightened her for a moment, and then heard Yang Chao say, "Honey, you are heavy again." ”

Origa blushed and was shocked when she heard such a sentence, how could she not be annoyed, and immediately beat Yang Chao, but the lovesickness and resentment for most of the year were resolved.

The other nobles burst into laughter, and the embarrassing scene was resolved.

"My dear, this crown is good, it's like the one you used to have."

Yang Chao diverted the topic, and it turned out that the crown that fell to the ground picked up by a noble woman was very similar to the old crown.

In 1762, Tsar Catherine succeeded to the throne and consumed 4,836 Indian diamonds and a large number of fine white pearls, and the crown was made by setting 400 carats of large diamonds.

However, this crown is not legendary, the crown on the head of the Russian tsar is the most legendary, the last princess of the Eastern Roman Empire married the first Tsar Ivan IV, Princess Sophia brought the crown of the Eastern Roman Empire as a dowry, so the Russians consider themselves to inherit the Eastern Roman Empire, Moscow is the Third Rome, and Russia is the Third Roman Empire. The emperor of the Roman Empire was called Caesar, or Kaisha in Russian, which is the origin of the Tsar.

But this legend is a bit outrageous, because there are many legends, some say that the Russians honored the Eastern Roman Emperor as the Tsar, converted to Orthodox Christianity, and after the fall of Eastern Rome, the Russian Grand Duke Ivan IV established himself as emperor. It is also said that at that time, Russia was notified by the Mongols, and the powerful Mongol Empire Han won the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Russians called the Mongol Han the Tsar. It is also said that the Tsar was the first person in the Bible, and after the Tsar ********, he had this honorific title.

All kinds of legends are magical, but the crown of Eastern Rome only exists in legends, just like the jade seal of China, which no one has ever seen.

But the longest inheritance is the crown made by Empress Catherine, I don't know if Catherine from Germany brought the tradition of wearing crowns in European countries.

"It's true!"

Speaking of this crown, Origa was interested.

"Really?"

Yang Chao was a little surprised.

"There was a Chinese businessman who bought it from Moscow and gave it to me."

Origa explained.

Yang Chao understood that this was a businessman with great powers, who opened up the trade route to Soviet Russia, had a close relationship with the Soviet Russian government, and then wanted to open up the relationship with the Russian high-level, hoping to make a fortune in Siberia, so he bought this crown at any cost.

But he didn't mind Yang Chao making a fuss about this matter, and immediately pretended to be surprised: "Fate! It's really fate. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the largest diamond in the crown.

"You should know where this diamond came from, during the Kangxi reign of China, the Russian envoy Nikolai Spaffel visited China and purchased this large diamond in Beijing, and it was only a hundred years later that the crown was made by the genius Russian lapidary craftsmen for the great Catherine the Great to use on the throne. Now another Chinese has given this large crown encrusted with Chinese diamonds to another great Russian female tsar, is this God's will! ”

As soon as Yang Chao said this, many Russian nobles also felt that it was full of fate, and immediately felt a divine taste of fate for Olga as a female tsar, as if it had always been arranged by God, thinking of Olga when she was still a female archduchess, he personally said that he had dreamed of the Virgin Mary, and these Russian nobles looked at Origa, and suddenly it was different.

Yang Chao knew that this story would spread more and more widely through the mouths of these nobles, and finally there was a legend, the hidden content of which was that the tsarist power was inseparable from China, which would eventually make Siberians more accepting of the Chinese, and reduce some resistance to the economic assimilation of the two places.

However, this crown, even if it is a guy who has no vision in Soviet Russia, will never sell it easily, the merchant must have paid a huge price, and it also shows that the merchant has a lot of energy, because this thing, even if it is rich, Soviet Russia may not be willing to sell it, and it is impossible to buy it without some energy.

"Who's that merchant, I'll have to thank him for taking the time."

Yang Chao asked.

"Hehe, no thanks, I gave him a gold mine."

Grand Duke Nikolai laughed.

Yang Chao nodded, there is a big gold mine in Irkutsk, and some people have found more than ten kilograms of dog's head gold here in later generations.

After Siberia attracted a large number of Chinese miners, soon the gold mines were also targeted, and after the engineers found the gold mines, some people were willing to pay a high price to buy the news, and then ask the Russian government to obtain the mining rights, and a number of people made a fortune because of this. The rich treasures buried in the ground of Siberia are being turned into real money and silver under the development of industrious and brave Chinese.

Of course, it is not only the Chinese who benefit, now to open a mine in Siberia, it is impossible without a little background, so many Chinese businessmen are used to pulling one or two Russian nobles as backers, operating in the name of the nobles, there is no Cossack flow mang to find trouble, you can operate with peace of mind, and you can get tax incentives from the government if you don't get it.

"The crown is not something that can be exchanged for gold, we just give Soviet Russia a gold mine, and they can't sell it. Dear Grand Duke Nicholas, do you say yes? ”

When Yang Chao asked this, Grand Duke Nicholas also felt that there were some problems, which at least showed that the Chinese were very close to Soviet Russia, which was not necessarily a good thing for the tsar.

"I remember that the merchant's surname was Kong, and it seemed to be something Xilai."

"Kong Xiangxi!"

Yang Chao was stunned for a moment, a predator floated to the surface, it seems that those who can get up can always get up.

"Yes, yes, that's the man, is he famous?"

Grand Duke Nicholas knew it was this person as soon as he heard it.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "He is a burden with our country's brother Pao, you say that he is not famous." ”

Kong Xiangxi is not only Brother Pao's brother-in-law, he is still very capable, born in a Jin merchant family, his father has done a ticket number, but the family is in the middle of the road, he has relied on the church to study since he was a child, for which he knows how to preach and preach, and finally graduated from Yale University Graduate School, to have a degree of education, after the Xinhai Revolution, he took advantage of the situation, opened a commercial bank, built a bank, and did a prosperous business.

Historically, he relied on Brother Pao's disciples and grandchildren to make a fortune with the help of political power, but in this era, Brother Pao was unreliable, he still relied on his own strength to do business in Siberia, and also got the right to operate several gold mines.

Relying on the rich land of Siberia, he is still a successful man.
