Let's get a couple! The Queen of Love! Whip candles? Whatever you want!

A few days later, Li Mo finally won the small steel mill and the useless land around it at a price of 250,000 pounds, and officially announced that he would expand the scale of the shipyard, in addition to expanding the original two shipping services to 10,000 tons each, and two large dry docks of 20,000 tons were under construction.

But then they were dumbfounded, because Chen Ping not only handed over the sales and processing of their most profitable sugar cane plantation and pineapple orchard in Hawaii to the Americans on behalf of the Li family, but also purchased shipbuilding equipment and steel processing equipment from Britain, Germany and France on a large scale, and at the same time reached an agreement with several parties, promising to provide shipping business for many merchants at a price lower than 10% of the market.

Since people did not reach out to the most profitable industry of the people, and also took the initiative to give up a lot of benefits, the so-called reaching out and not smiling people, so the most important sugar merchants in Hawaii welcomed the arrival of the Li family.

In the next few days, Qingshan Villa was even more crowded, and Young Master Li started to be the shopkeeper again, and after handing over all this to the old housekeepers Fu Bo and Chen Ping, he took the two little girls to tour around, spent a lot of money, and put on a super squirting posture.

"Hehe, the young master is famous now." Chen Ping looked at Li Mo, who was sitting on the stool, drooping his head, and spreading his feet, as if he was tired and had no backbone, and said with a smile.

"yes, for a meal, I bought an entire restaurant, bought half a street of clothes, and so much coral." The old butler looked at the large number of things in the hall, and said as he spoke, with black lines hanging on his head, and finally he cried and laughed: "A thousand pounds a day!" Young master, even if you want to pretend to be a fool and let others despise you, you don't have to spend so much money? That's enough to buy a few hundred guns! ”

"That's not for them!" Li Mo lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and glanced at the two girls who were circling around a large pile of clothes, happily.

Xiaoxiao is naturally well-behaved, his surname is extremely weak, and only the young master is the biggest in his heart, not to mention that so many beautiful clothes have long been drowned in the sea of clothes that the young master bought for him, and he also accompanied Li Mo for a few days, and Duan Yue'er, who was also happy, was not so easy to deal with, her little nose wrinkled, and she snorted: "Hmph, don't think that you can fool Xiaoxiao by buying some clothes, it's a shame that she is so good to you, you still ......, and you are still molesting other people's girls on the street!" ”

"Hey......, why is there such a good show? It's a shame I didn't see it! There was a sound of wild gasps in the hall.

Young Master Li's cheeks couldn't even penetrate the battleship's main guns, and when he heard Duan Yue'er's words, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and blinked with a shameless smile: "I'm not bad to you?" Why don't you sleep with me tonight? ”

"You ......, disciple!" Duan Yue'er's face turned red in an instant, she didn't even take her clothes, and ran upstairs with Xiaoxiao.

"It's this sentence again, it's really uneducated!" Li Mo pursed his lips, only to find that the surroundings were already silent, and he said angrily: "Are you stupid?" What to do, what to do! ”

After speaking, he stretched his waist and went upstairs in a huff, leaving a room full of crying and laughing faces.

When I returned to the house, I found that there were already two people sitting respectfully and waiting. "Here we are." Li Mo answered, and after making a cup of tea, he closed the door.

Dong Dahai, Liu Guishan.

They are all one of the earliest members of the Nighthawk, not only participated in the arduous winter training with Li Qiang, hunted the Indians, but also stained the blood of a lot of gold diggers, especially not long ago when he went back with Duan Fei to participate in the assassination of the Tsushima mallet, experienced more than ten confrontations of all sizes, was surrounded by tens of thousands of horse gang bandits, chased and killed, and finally struggled from the line of life and death, and became a real Nighthawk!

Although Duan Fei withdrew because of Li Mo's needs, but now the Nighthawk, as several of them mature, their wings have finally hardened a lot, and with the rapid expansion of the escort team, there are twelve veterans who have stood out under Li Qiang's high-intensity training and training and transferred to the Nighthawk, it can be said that as long as it takes a while, and the twelve people who join after it slowly mature, then this team will have preliminary combat capability.

That's why when he came out this time, Li Mo would bring the two of them over, compared with ordinary escort soldiers, Nighthawk was obviously more suitable for the current needs.

"Young Master!" Seeing Li Mo close the door, Dong Dahai and Liu Guishan immediately stood up and saluted.

"How's it going?" After Li Mo also saluted, he sat down slowly, glanced at the two of them lightly, and motioned for them to sit down and said.

After the two sat down, Dong Dahai took out a ball of transcribed letter paper from his arms, handed it to Li Mo, and said first: "We entered the study of that little book and found these. ”

Li Mo took the letter and looked at it carefully.

The letter is in Chinese, and it is estimated that Dong Dahai can't understand it, and the strokes transcribed are very jerky and crooked, but fortunately, Li Mo had learned the Chinese in his previous life, so he could barely understand it.

This is a secret letter written by Ono to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Inoue Xin, as soon as he saw the name Inoue Xin, Li Mo was also surprised, this Inoue Xin he is very familiar with, it is he who contributed to the later generations known as the Super Chaebol, one of the people who took off the Mitsui Group, and this person is also a great hero in the Meiji Restoration period, served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of Ito Hirobumi, I didn't expect that at this moment it has entered the era of the Kuroda Kiyotaka cabinet, this person is still an official, and he is also a major member of the cabinet!

Judging from the content of the letter, this Ono-kun paid great attention to the development of Hawaii's sugar industry and pineapple industry, and was very greedy for the high profits generated by this, and even directly asked the Imperial Navy to be stationed here when necessary to grab the resources here.

A seemingly simple letter about the investigation of agricultural business, but Li Mo's back was cold, the tentacles of the Americans had already reached here, and he had always thought that he had not set his sights here until before World War II, but at this time, he had already begun to plan!

The depth of the scheming, the distance, is simply shocking!

Pinching this letter copied by the two of them, Li Mo's face suddenly became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth outlined a wry smile, if he wants to survive under the service of the great powers, it seems that it is really not something that ordinary people can do, even if he, a lucky person who has traveled through the later generations and has a super golden finger of foresight, he can't help but tremble and be shocked when he takes every step.

The Americans have occupied it, and they have already come, will there be fewer people with it?

A piece of fat! A woman who is extremely beautiful and has already stripped naked, since there are so many people who are greedy, what is the young master waiting for? Why don't you do it now and take it down?

After this sudden thought turned around in his heart a few times, Li Mo finally sighed gloomily, although the escort team has taken shape, and the new military training method implemented has also been effective, it can be said that it is not difficult to face the hundreds of Hawaii Kingdom escorts, but what about after that? In the face of an enemy that may come from the sea, is it said that the fighters should hit the warship with rifles?

Although the end of the 19th century was the era of free economic carnival, the great powers were very willing to sell their warships, cannons, and even shipbuilding technology to a country and political axe, as long as you can have enough gold and money, but they have a common bottom line, that is, they will never sell those deadly weapons to a single merchant!

My battleship! My cannon! Damn, how the hell do you get it? Young Master Li almost gritted his teeth, but he was still confused, although he was a senior member of the BB Party in his previous life, although he could buy a shipyard and buy equipment, but it was still impossible to build a warship!

After taking a deep breath, Li Mo temporarily suppressed the disturbing thoughts brought about by the letter, and the bull head looked at the two Nighthawk elites in front of him, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else you have discovered?" ”

Seeing that the young master looked at the letter for a long time and didn't speak, although Dong Dahai and Liu Guishan didn't know what the young master was thinking, but the high-intensity training and discipline made them accustomed to keeping silent, and at this moment, when they heard Li Mo ask again, they continued: "We also found an underground secret room in his warehouse by the sea, which contained a large number of explosives and guns, although it was a little old, but it could equip at least five hundred people!" ”

"Dynamite?" Li Mo's heart moved, a thought flashed through him, and he immediately said: "Go find Chen Ping and let him arrange it for me, I want to meet that queen!" ”

"Yes!" The two didn't understand why the young master suddenly wanted to see the Queen of Hawaii, but an order was an order, so they quickly walked out of the room to arrange it after saluting.

"You brought it on yourself, who made you so careless? Little devil! Looking at the backs of the two, a smile suddenly crossed the corner of Li Mo's mouth.

Pearl Harbor at night, the breeze is gentle, although there is no crowd in front of the lush Palm Beach, but there are still many people, strolling in twos and threes, feeling the coolness brought by the sea breeze.

Gas lamps are hung high, and in this era when electricity has just begun to develop, the position of gas is still irreplaceable.

The beautiful Yolani Palace, under the reflection of the gas lamp, although not as luxurious and majestic as the laser laser in later generations, but it also has a taste. It's a pity that Li Mo didn't have the heart to appreciate these at the moment, and under the leadership of the guard officer, he and Chen Ping hurriedly walked into this palace, which represented the center of power in Hawaii.

"Honorable Her Majesty Queen Liluokarani, on behalf of my family, allow me to express to you my most respectful gratitude, may the Kingdom of Hawaii prosper more under your leadership, and may your people be blessed with eternal happiness under the Queen's bath!"

The rapid growth of his body in the past two years, coupled with the experience during this time, has allowed Li Mo to get rid of the youthfulness unique to his youth, and he is bent down to say hello at the moment, plus he speaks fluent English, not like a down-and-out teenager from the East, but very much like those children of European families who are highly educated and pay attention to traditional etiquette.

"Thank you, dear Lee, for your blessings, and I hope that you and your people can live in peace and contentment in my kingdom."

With the voice in his ears, Li Mo raised his eyes, only to see a slightly dark woman with a slightly fat figure slowly walking down the spiral staircase, although her appearance did not meet his beauty pageant standards, but I have to say that this long-term pampered queen looks very comfortable under the elegant and calm wrapping in her bones.

At the same time that Li Mo looked at the queen, Lilu Ocarani was also looking at this young man who suddenly came to Hawaii and led the rapid rise of his clan, even if she was in the palace and lived in a simple house, but she had already heard of this young man who bought land, expanded the shipyard, and spent money, but obviously, she didn't realize that Li Mo was so young that she almost thought that Chen Ping was the head of the family.

Li Mo waved his hand and motioned for Chen Ping to hand a beautiful rectangular wooden box to the attendants beside him before saying, "This is a gift from Li Mo to you, I hope Her Majesty likes it." ”

As the attendant opened the wooden box, not only Liluokarani's eyes lit up, but even several indigenous attendants next to him held their breath. In the wooden box, there is a scepter similar to the European Middle Ages, although it is a little shorter, but the scepter is all made of gold, and at the top of the scepter, like a bud-like border, is inlaid with sparkling diamonds, and what is even more surprising is that the top of the scepter is actually a huge red gemstone.

Although Hawaii does not produce gold or diamond jewelry, it does not mean that Liluo Carani does not know the value of these things, and she is a little overwhelmed by such a precious gift.

Looking at Queen Liluokarani with glowing eyes, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, this scepter not only verified the authenticity of the sentence "As long as you are a woman, you can't resist the temptation of gems", but also made him believe that he had impressed this woman who still controls the whole of Hawaii.

It's just that the price is a bit big, and it also makes Li Mo, who was buying gifts at that time, feel pain: "Ya, next time let Li Qiang take someone to South Africa to grab some diamonds!" "Young Master Li's mind is wandering, and he is bent on making up for the loss.

Sure enough, after a burst of astonishment and fanatical eyes, Queen Liluokarani finally struggled to withdraw her gaze and said softly, "Dear Lee, your gift is so valuable, I don't know what you need me to do for you?" ”

"The play is coming!" Li Mo felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but his face remained calm, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to mind, this is just a little bit of Li Mo's heart, as for the return?" I've bought enough land and factories to settle my people. ”

Chen Ping, who was beside him, thought that Li Mo would take the opportunity to propose to buy more land, or ask for some power or something, but he didn't expect him to put on a calm and indifferent look, and directly rejected the other party, and was still a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood that this was the good show of Young Master Li, so he hurriedly cooperated: "Your Majesty, this is what my young master specially purchased for you from the far east, so I didn't think about repaying it at all!" ”

Liluo Caratani is not a fool, being able to take charge of the entire Hawaiian Kingdom proves her ability, but she is also very aware of her own affairs, and the Americans have always been eyeing here, so she will think of using the Chinese and herself to contain each other.

Originally, she also planned to give a little real power to this young man who looked quite pleasing to the eye after Li Mo spoke, and let his people help him stop the infiltration of the Americans, but who would have thought that they didn't want anything, which made him a little embarrassed, and he couldn't force others to push others to the opposite side of the Americans, right?

"Are they really here to take refuge?" Liluo Carani remembered the news that the attendants had asked her to inquire about during the day, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly asked the attendant officer next to her.

"Do we still have free land?"

"Dear Queen, we still have a few plantations on the island of Hawaii, as well as a few smaller plantations on Cahoolawe Island." The attendant hurriedly replied.

"Where's Kauaʻi?" Liluo Carani thought for a moment and continued to ask.

The chamberlain was confused, Kauai has always been regarded as the birthplace of Hawaii, although it is small, although it has the fattest plantation, not to mention that the Americans have asked for it many times, and the queen has not let go, but she didn't expect it to be mentioned at this moment, can it be said?

Although the chamberlain was very confused, he still said, "Queen, there are only two farms on Kauau, but ....... ”

Before he finished speaking, Queen Liluokarani had already interrupted the attendant's words, looked at Li Mo and said, "Dear Li, I don't know if there is an honor to ask you to manage one of the plantations in my place?" ”

During this period of time, Li Mo has already thoroughly understood the current situation in Hawaii, and naturally knows that Americans covet the two plantations on Kauai, and if they are given to him by the queen now, isn't it tantamount to doing right with the Americans?

"It seems that this queen is not simple." Li Mo turned in his heart, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to promise your gift, and I think that Kauau, as a gathering place for the most loyal people of the kingdom, should be governed by the queen herself." Li Mo put on a sincere look of consideration for Hawaii.

"But ......." Liluokarani didn't expect Li Mo to refuse, and was about to speak, but Li Mo took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, if my gift makes you feel uneasy, I have a solution." ”

"Oh?"

In Liluo Caraney's astonishment, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked. He continued: "As I believe you already know, I volunteered to own the best shipyard, so I bought the shipyard and also bought nearby land for construction. If you really want to reward me, I hope you can help me persuade Mr. Ono-kun to buy his land so that I can better develop my shipbuilding business. ”

Liluo Carani had long known that Li Mo had bought the shipyard and ordered machinery in several countries to expand the shipyard, and now when he said this, he would not doubt it, but that land had already been sold by himself, how could he get it back?

Seeing that the queen was silent, Li Mo smiled slightly, and finally took out his killer weapon, handed a piece of letter to the attendant and said: "Dear Queen, please forgive me, although you are doing your best to maintain your kingdom and protect your people, and I also hope that my people can live and work here in peace and contentment, but I accidentally found out about this, there is such a thing behind the land I bought, so I am very worried about the safety of me and my people, and I ask the queen to deal with it as soon as possible, so that my people can rest assured that under your notice, Development of shipyards. ”

Liluo Caraney, who took the letter, was stunned after just a few points, ten barrels of gunpowder, guns and ammunition that can arm five hundred people, what does this person want to do?

Lilu Ocarani, who was stunned by the news brought by Li Mo, looked at the letter for a long time before nodding and saying, "Dear Li, thank you for reminding me, I will take care of these things, if I can get that land back, I will definitely hand him over to you to manage!" ”

Li Mo knew that the queen probably didn't have the heart to continue talking with him at this moment, so he hurriedly got up, showed eight teeth at Queen Liluokarani, and said with a smile: "Dear Your Majesty, then I won't disturb your rest, I hope we will have a chance to meet next time." ”

"Goodbye." After Li Mo finished speaking, he took Chen Ping to bow deeply again and exited the living room.

Li Mo could see that although the reason why this woman named Liluokarani had been pursuing a balancing policy among countries was that she was very wary of being overthrown, he believed that Xiao Yue would have been unlucky.

Sure enough, only two days later, a large number of American merchants with the escorts of Oahu Island rushed into the plantation located in Ono-kun, and under the conclusive evidence, this little devil was soon declared to be Hawaii's least favorite person, and was expelled from the Hawaiian kingdom on the same day, and Queen Liluokarani quickly handed over the land to Li Mo after recovering the land, and at the same time exempted Li Mo from taxes for three years.

In this way, in addition to the strategic point on the left side of the shipping lane, which was controlled by the Americans, Limer completely took the entire peninsula southwest of Pearl Harbor into his arms, with an area of 55 square kilometers, a private wharf, a shipyard and a steel mill, which can be said to be a great harvest.

It's just that he couldn't help but sigh after hearing that Queen Liluokarani actually handed over a piece of Kauai's plantation to the Americans who had long coveted it in exchange for their support in order to deal with Ono, a so-called devil.

This is the end of weakness!

Li Mo took a breath.
