[Huaguo is vast and rich, all-encompassing, the four seas are leveled, the national strength is unparalleled, and all the barbarians come to pay tribute] -- this is the cognition of emperors, officials, marquises, wealthy merchants, and landlords. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

[Internal worries, blind arrogance, lack of progress, corruption, poverty and luxury; Foreign invasions, the invasion of the coastal people by the Japanese invaders, and the rapid growth of the West by long-distance voyages] -- this is the perception of Li Huamei and her cronies.

Although Li Huamei can also understand the reason for the "Sea Ban Policy" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, to this day, as a naval admiral, she believes that this policy of controlling the country is inappropriate and will make Huaguo lag behind the world little by little.

Of course, China's national strength at this point in time is very strong, even if it is going downhill and Western countries are going uphill, it is likely that it will not be surpassed by Western countries until Li Huamei is a hundred years later...... It's just that Li Huamei is not the kind of person who "after the death of the old lady, no matter how much it floods", she is loyal to the monarch and loves the country more than the nation, and she does not want the "Western barbarians" to become "Western powers" to bully future generations one day.

Therefore, she has been working hard to change this situation, hoping that Huaguo will also keep up with the development of the world.

Changing the emperor's concept and abolishing the policy of banning the sea, she can't do it as a small admiral, and she doesn't even have much chance to meet the emperor; Let the hundred officials no longer be corrupt, this is too much, it is impossible to do, and it harms the interests of the entire bureaucratic class; led her subordinates to rebel and overthrow the backward country of China, she would not do such a rebellious thing...... In the end, it was already the ultimate she could do to disobey the orders of the foreign monarch and ignore the ban of the imperial court to go to sea to fight against the Japanese invaders.

It's just that the arrival of today's "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce" made Li Huamei think a little.

"Admiral, there's definitely something wrong with this grotesque-looking ship! No sails, no oars, but amazing speed! The older lieutenant stared worriedly at the "God of Wealth" of the fleet following them, originally they planned to slow down and take it away, but they didn't expect that they couldn't pull the distance at full speed now, and they didn't know what the top speed of the other party was.

"I've guessed that a long time ago." Li Huamei recalled the words and deeds of Liz and his wives and concubines, and the other party must be quite confident, at least not to instigate her Li family fleet.

"Admiral, are we really going to take them back to Yangzhou?! It's so dangerous, I'm worried ......! "The adjutant will not say that he thinks the Li family fleet will lose, but it is also true that he does not want to be an enemy of such an unknown opponent.

"Admittedly, they are dangerous, but their dangerousness lasts for a limited time."

Defeating the Spanish Armada in the Mediterranean, dealing with slave traders in Africa, and sinking the pirate ships in the East China Sea with ease proved that they were not good babies. However, no matter how disobedient they are, their behavior in the Mediterranean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia is only "buying goods in large quantities and leaving without any regrets after they have finished purchasing".

Even if there is a risk of "luring a wolf into the house", it is just a "vicious wolf who obediently leaves within a limited time", and Li Huamei never intended to let Liz and his party act recklessly, and the tactics of marking people are up.

"I'm even thinking about how I can get rid of my relationship with them so that I don't get burned one day...... Hmph, even if the imperial court takes the lead and orders me to supervise them, the responsibility for an accident will also be on me...... "Li Huamei can climb to this position, in addition to the family shadow, there are also various skills in dealing with the world, and it is also necessary to protect oneself.

"Admiral...... Why should you take such a risk? "The adjutant still wants Liz to get out of the way and go to the Wako, and would rather not want the gold and lapis lazuli that they half sell and half give, than let Li Huamei, who is probably the most far-sighted in China, fall into disaster.

"Why?" Li Huamei gently brushed her hair and looked at the golden ingots in the distance, "I have an intuition that this ship and that man can let His Majesty and the hundred officials see the 'outside world' and break their complacent thoughts." ”

What she couldn't do, was done by Leeds, who was dressed in the skin of a foreigner.

This is more important than anything else.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Naturally, now that Liz and Li Huamei are not familiar with each other, Lord Xiangfeihu will not say these words in his heart, and Liz has no way of knowing these crooked intestines.

merely

"Thinking in a good direction, that beautiful admiral needs us to make a lot of money and make meritorious contributions, and her performance has gone up to get promoted and made a fortune; Thinking in the direction of neither good nor bad, that beautiful admiral intends to use us to do something, this kind of thing is more special; Thinking in the bad direction, after we arrive at her base camp Yangzhou, one night she will set a trap and attack and seize the ship. "Li Huamei doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Liz doesn't want to, Liz's stupidity is not reflected in intelligence," So, what do you think? What do you do after you have passed? ”

"That!" 9S raised his hand high and received a nod from Liz before asking, "It doesn't seem to be a good thing, why do we have to follow it?" Wouldn't it be better to change places? It's called 'Osaka' and it's a port from another country, so the location seems to be pretty good. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at them with a helpless look.

“？？？” 9S doesn't think it's a strange question.

Leon stretched out his hand and put it on 9S's shoulder and shook his head: "Newcomer, you don't understand your young master, let's mix it up for another year or two." ”

"Oh...... Oh......" 9S looked dazed.

"I always feel like I've been invisibly complained about by a group of people," Liz shook his head and looked at Sedum, "Money fans, you can say it." ”

"Whatever she's going to do, we're just going to make a big purchase! That's not going to change! "Because it is a country with a high degree of similarity to my hometown, Sedum is full of interest, so I can't change the procurement plan because of this.

"Is it the same to adapt to change...... It's okay, anyway, the difference in strength is obvious, and there is nothing to guard against. Liz nodded, "Let's see what the beautiful admiral wants to do~~"

Knowing that the business was over, Zhang Jing couldn't help but say with a slight sourness: "Beautiful Admiral, Beautiful Admiral~ Should you think about making a move on Admiral Li again?" ”

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask if this world is also going to 'groups of men's wives and concubines' just now." Murong Jiu added, with a mocking tone.

"I'm sorry, the characters who are too difficult to raid, please allow me to give up a wave." Li Huamei's appearance is the passing line of the beauty in Leeds's heart, but her personality is ...... Forget it, such heroic women should not be bound by the love of men and women.

"Hmph~~" Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu's complexions are a little better-looking.

"However, I will try my best to search for other super-beautiful girls after I go ashore~"

"You guy!"

The girls followed Liz the whole time, leaving him with nothing, that's a story for later.
