"Married?"

"Of course—" Bertrand's expression became serious when he said these two words.

From 03 to now, Yan Shao and Elano have been together for more than 4 years. More than four years is enough time for Elano to go from a 17-year-old girl to a 21-year-old girl, and 21 is a marriageable age in this era.

Although Bertrand hated Yan Shao very much, since the incident had happened, he had to make his daughter happy.

Of course, this is not to say that Eleno is unhappy now, but as a father, he can't let his daughter go on like this without a name and no point.

And it is said that when a man is rich, he becomes bad, and as a man, Bertrand naturally knows this very well. Although Yan Shao and Elano seem to be very affectionate from the current point of view, who can guarantee the future...

If every man was really so reliable, the cold palace of the emperors of the past dynasties would not be full, and the people would not have the word negative man...

So as a father, Bertrand must ask for an explanation for his daughter, especially if he is still useful to the man in front of him...

————————————————————

Hearing Bertrand's words, Yan Shao also fell.

From 03 to now, Yan Shao is also 24 years old. Men of this age may have been married for a long time in this era, and maybe their children are old enough to go to school. But in Yan Shao's era, there were many people in their 30s who were still unmarried—————— which was not divided between men and women...

Although Yan Shao has not moved the idea of getting married. But I don't want to be tied down by being so 'young'. In fact, it's not just about getting married, in order not to be disturbed by the intimate three-person world, and I don't want my feelings to be distributed. Although the three of them have reached the point of no control over certain things over the years, the three of them have done adequate contraception every time, which is why the three of them have not even had children for so many years.

Originally, Yan Shao would have thought that the life of the three of them would go on like this, but now after hearing Bertrand's words, he had another thought for the first time...

————————————————————

"The first batch of people will be sent over soon, so I'll leave it to you when the time comes..."As he was leaving, Yan Shao, standing on the dock in Algiers, had a warm smile on his face.

And on the opposite side of Yan Shao. Qin Zhen and the others, who were in charge of seeing them off, also nodded seriously.

"And..."Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Qin Zhen, who was in the lead. When those people arrive, most of you will return to your home country to train the patrol team, which has now been expanded to more than 600 people, and the guard team of more than 300 people. I hope that you will be able to make the most of what you have learned in France..."

"Please rest assured, sir..."I don't know when Lu Dao started, Yan Shao's title has changed from boss to sir, and Qin Zhen, who was standing at the front, said seriously. We will not disappoint your expectations..."

Yan Shao did not answer this. Just a smile.

Just when Yan Shao and Qin Zhen were talking. On the other side, Elaline had already said goodbye to Bertrand.

"Then, let's see you again..."Seeing that Elano had already talked to Bertrand, after signaling her to come to his side, Yan Shao, who had boarded the passenger ship, waved his hand towards Qin Zhen and them.

Now that you're in the Mediterranean, how could you not go to Marseille to see the Tariss? So the next destination for this passenger ship is Marseille.

In fact, this is also a matter of necessity, although there are ships to Algiers in London, there are obviously no ships to China in Algiers. In other words, if Yan Shao and they want to return to China, they can only go to a nearby big city, and this big city obviously refers to Marseille...

"Is your father still happy with the gift I gave him?"

Seeing that Algiers has almost disappeared. Holding Elanon's slender waist with his hand, Yan Shao kissed her on the forehead and said.

"It's okay," he said, seeing his father after a long absence. Elaline was obviously in a good mood, but when she mentioned Yan Shao's gift, her expression became a little stranger. "But then again, you're going to use those stocks as gifts, and you're a little too distracted by my father..."

Grinning, Yan Shao didn't intend to continue on this issue, because he knew very well that if he continued, whether he was justified or not, he would definitely be the one who suffered the most.

No way, who called it a woman who was held in his arms...

And in fact, Eleno is right, when he said that he was going to Algiers, Eleno had already reminded him to prepare a gift for Bertrand—————— after all, it was the first time to meet, and he always had to leave some good impressions on his future father-in-law.

At that time, Yan Shao was also full of promises, and even ran out of Lu to visit the store a few times.

But in fact, with his bad relationship with Bertrand, the probability of preparing gifts is basically less than 0, so after arriving in Algiers, Yan Shao casually took out 100,000 pounds worth of shares from the stock as a first meeting gift...

Bertron's expression became very strange when he saw those stocks, cough, in fact, Yan Shao also knew how unreliable it was to use this as a gift, but after the end, he still made up a 'just watching the stock rise, there will be a kind of fun of raising small animals and watching them grow', and finally reluctantly fooled Bertrand.

It's just that maybe Bertrand doesn't know Yan Shao very well, but how could Elanon, as his pillow person, not understand his thoughts? Now that he has left Algiers, he naturally intends to give him some color.

And just leaning against the railing, Yan Shao also scratched his head and said to himself. "100,000 pounds is actually a big gift, at least in two years, this money will be more than ten times more than no problem..."

It's not an exaggeration to say that, because those stocks have historically multiplied tenfold. Even if it is turned twenty times, it is not nothing, which is also the reason why Yan Shao will bet heavily on it...

Of course, things may not necessarily develop as Yan Shao expected. After all, the historical process of this world has been in a lot of confusion because of his relationship.

However, some things are inevitable, such as the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the confrontation between Germany and England, and the crazy rise of rubber because of its scarcity...

The real key is how to find out before the stock crash and sell it...

Because this time is not very detailed even in history. It's just that the stock crash occurred in 10 years, and it indirectly led to the Sichuan Road Protection Movement and so on.

And now, because of his arrival, the historical course of this world has changed. Whether the time of the crash will still happen in 10 years, not 09 or 11 years, is something that no one knows...

————————————————————

Looking at Yan Shao talking to himself there, Elano and Caterina glanced at each other. The two of them sandwiched Yan Shao in the middle, one left and one right.

Speaking of which. What the hell did you talk to my father about yesterday, and when you went back, you lost your soul..."

As she said this, Eleno and Caterina had a clear curiosity in their eyes.

The loss of soul is obviously a bit exaggerated, but when he went back yesterday, Yan Shao's expression was indeed very strange, as if he had something on his mind, and completely threw aside the two who had taken off and were half-naked—————— you must know that this has never happened in the past...

After looking up at the white clouds floating in the sky, Yan Shao was silent for a moment and said softly. "Your father asked when we were going to get married..."

When the word marriage is spoken. Yan Shao obviously felt Elano and Caterina clamping his body tense at the same time, obviously the two of them were also very sensitive to this topic.

Then Elaline asked casually as if he didn't seem to care. "That'...... How do you answer? ”

Caterina on the side didn't interject. But he also pricked up his ears.

If you don't look at anything else just looking at their expressions, I have to say that their acting skills are really amazing, at least Yan Shao can't see their true emotions at all, but from their tense bodies, Yan Shao can feel their true thoughts...

"I said..."Seeing that they obviously cared but pretended not to care, I don't know what Yan Shao wanted to tease them. I told your father that I like this relationship so much that I don't plan to get married..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, the two raised their heads almost at the same time, and then they also saw the hateful smile on Yan Shao's face.

Looking at the angry expressions on the faces of the two, Yan Shao knew very well that if he didn't appease them well, it would not be impossible to be thrown off the boat by them, so he hurriedly changed his expression.

"Joking, joking, but..." Speaking of this, Yan Shao's expression became much more serious. I really don't plan to get married anytime soon, because I don't want our wedding to be too hasty, so I'm going to have a big wedding worthy of you...... After I seized all of China..."

————————————————————

When he was in London, Yan Shao once said to Elano and Caterina that they were going to go out to buy gifts, which was really not a lie. It's just that the gift Yan Shao bought was for the Tharis couple, not Bertrand, that's all...

After all, the relationship between Yan Shao and the Tharis couple is quite good, and they were taken care of by them when they were in Marseille, and it is impossible not to bring them some gifts when they pass by Marseille now.

And because the relationship is good, Yan Shao can also be said to be quite attentive when choosing gifts.

For example, Tharis was given a pair of ivory chess pieces, and Mrs. Tharis was given a nice pearl necklace.

These gifts cannot be said to be very valuable, but they are quite appropriate.

And it was precisely because of this discovery that Elino's face became very ugly.

It's just that it's not easy to show it in the face of the happy Tharis couple who are sitting opposite her, and on the side, Yan Shao is putting his hand on her flexible and slender waist, groping up and down without anyone knowing. Until a layer of red climbed on Elano's face.

This action was focusing on the gift, and the Taris couple naturally couldn't feel it, and among all the people present, only Katerina could detect it, but after seeing the hand that Yan Shao had groped for the root of his leg. She just pouted, then grabbed the strange hand and tossed him aside without the Tarris paying attention.

The strange hand that had been messing with at the base of the leg was gone, and Elano breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been saved, and gave Caterina a grateful look. Caterina on the side glanced at her, and Sakura's lips moved at the same time.

Although she didn't say anything, Yan Shao could still read what she was going to say from the shape of her lips...

'Mind your paws...'

This time, Yan Shao and the others had other things to do, so they didn't stay in Marseille for too long. So after staying for about two days, I took a ship from Marseille to China and returned to China...

On the other hand, in Marseille, Yan Shao also received a telegram from Wuhu.

What was on Telegram was simple. The planned first congressional petition has been terminated.

Originally, according to Zhang Jian's plan, he planned to wait until the constitutional organizations in various localities were almost established, and then organize the constitutional organizations in various localities to go to Beijing to launch a huge petition movement and force the Qing court to start the constitution as soon as possible.

However, there was a slight change in things later, and this change was the "Constitution of the Legislative Yuan" issued by the Qing court.

In the preparatory program for the preparation of the constitution. Mention the establishment of the Consultative Council and the Information Council. As a preparation for future parliamentary politics. In 1908, in the "Constitution of the Legislative Yuan", it was pointed out that in order to establish the constitution, the central public opinion body, the Imperial Yuan, it was also mentioned that "all provinces should also have a place to adopt the wheel of public opinion, and to refer to the interests of the province of Chentong, to plan for local public security, and to reserve talents for the Yuan." ", which is the basis for the establishment of the Consultative Council. Subsequently, in the same year, the Statutes of the Provincial Consultative Bureaus and the Regulations for the Election of Members were promulgated, which laid down the method of election of the Consultative Bureau. and require the provinces to be formed within a year.

It is precisely because of this change that Zhang Jian's original plan was invalidated.

Now his plan is to set up local advisory bureaus first. Then, the members of the various advisory bureaus gathered in Beijing to launch the most powerful congressional petition campaign against the Qing court.

"The Consultative Bureau? I didn't expect it to be established at this time..."

Yan Shao, who was resting his head on Katerina's lap, put the telegram aside, and the person also fell into deep thought.

In addition to Zhang Jian's plan, the telegram also mentioned one thing, that is, Anhui has now begun to prepare for the affairs of the Consultative Bureau.

In the original plan, 23 consultative bureaus were set up in 22 provinces across the country, of which Jiangsu Province was scheduled to set up two bureaus because the original two political envoys were stationed in Jiangning and Suzhou, but the people of Jiangsu opposed the division into two, so they were combined into one bureau, while the local officials of Xinjiang Province wrote to the bureau that the province's education level was insufficient and that the handling was suspended, so in fact there were only 21 bureaus.

The number of members of the provincial legislature is not based on population, but mainly on the basis of 5 percent of the places taken by each province in the original imperial examination system, and the number of places in the imperial examination is determined according to the so-called "prosperity and decline of literary style". Jiangsu has a large burden of bad grain, and there is an increase in the amount. In addition, the Beijing Division and the Banner People Garrison Province have a quota of 1 to 3 for the Banner Commanders.

So the places in the provinces also came out, first of all, Mukden: 50. Jilin: 30. Heilongjiang: 30. Zhili: 140. Jiangsu: 121. Anhui: 83. Jiangxi: 93. Zhejiang: 114. Fujian: 72. Hubei: 80. Hunan: 82. Shandong: 100. Henan: 96. Shanxi: 86. Shaanxi: 63. Gansu: 43. Sichuan: 105. Guangdong: 91. Guangxi: 57. Yunnan 68. Guizhou: 39.

Since there are only 83 places in Anhui, this means that Yan Shao must try his best to try his best to make most of these 83 places his own, at least the people of the Innovation Association now...

According to the Statutes of the Provincial Consultative Bureaus and the Statutes for the Election of Members, the qualifications of electors need to be men over 25 years old from the province who meet one of several conditions: "1. Those who have handled school affairs and other public welfare affairs in the province for more than three years and have made outstanding achievements; 2. Those who have graduated from a secondary school equivalent or above in a domestic or foreign secondary school and obtained a diploma; 3. Those who have a background of tribute or above; 4. Those who have served as vacancies, have been in the seventh rank of official literature, or more than the fifth rank of martial arts, and have not been involved in the revolution; 5. Those who have a business capital or real estate of more than 5,000 yuan in the local area. "If you are not a citizen of this province, you must be at least 35 years old, have been registered for 10 years, or have more than 10,000 yuan of capital or immovable property in the place.

As for the qualifications of the electees, in addition to the above, there is also a clause that they must be over 30 years old—————— of course, this is only the original condition.

Soon after the Qing court announced such a charter, local celebrities in Anhui Province protested, and the main target of the protest was the 30-year-old demand, and the dominant force in it was the Yushi Group.

The reason is also very simple, because according to the standard requirements of the Qing court, Yan Shao, who was only 24 years old at this time, was definitely unqualified.

As a qualified businessman with coveted family resources, Yan Shao naturally could not only work in Anhui, but also had a lot of relationships in Beijing and Shanghai. So just a little gesture, many officials came out against this article, and the age requirement for the electors was finally lowered to 25 years old...

Incidentally, according to the statistics of the Qing court, only 0.42 percent of the population was registered.

In other words, China, with a population of 40,000, has only about 1.6 million people eligible to become voters... (To be continued......)
