Li Xiao did not return to the capital, but stayed in Beidaihe. Today's Beidaihe is far from developing tourism resources. It's just a small fishing village on the border between Liaodong and Hebei, and a few townhouses have been built on the edge of the fishing village. One of them is Li Xiao's house.

Li Xiao found that there were many advantages to being a marshal, one of which was that he did not have to spend money and had houses in many parts of the empire.

This is still the result of Li Xiao's strong resignation, according to Tokugawa Chihime, the Wa Kingdom in Yokohama and Edo, both prepared houses for Li Xiao. As long as Li Xiao is willing to go, he can take a trip at any time.

It is better not to go to the Wakoku, the current Wakoku and the Wakoku after the Meiji Restoration are two different things. It was enough to go to Li Xiao once, and two strong men carried a box. I thought it was carrying goods, but a small window opened on the side of the box, and a woman's head came out of it.

The women of the Japanese country in these years really can't see it. A good face was smeared layer after layer like a big white, white like a ghost. There are red lips painted on the big white face, and the lips are red like a monster who has just eaten a child. The most unbearable thing is that the two eyebrows are painted into two black bumps.

Seeing such a woman, Li Xiao immediately remembered the paper figure tied at the funeral in his hometown when he was a child. Damn, it's too much of a resemblance.

Sleeping with such a girl at night, in case half of the night wakes up, it is not a problem of nightmares, and it is completely possible to cause myocardial infarction. Fortunately, Tokugawa Chihime has always been without makeup, and if it is the traditional makeup of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Xiao will not let her stay by her side for a second.

Walking out of the villa, the sea is on the doorstep.

It seems that the sky in the capital will be on fire! But in Beidaihe, the wind blows over the water skin, with a trace of coolness, not to mention how comfortable it is to blow on the body.

The sea water of Beidaihe is very clear, and it is easy to see more than ten meters underwater. Standing barefoot in the water, you can clearly see the fish swimming in the water. You can even see pike crabs swimming in the sea!

The crab is really swimming, not crawling. Perhaps that's why the locals call this thing a flying crab, because under the clear waters, the crab swims in a way that looks like it's flying.

Listen to the waves, eat seafood and drink Wuliangye. Another pot of cooked edamame, as long as this thing is cooked, sprinkled with a handful of salt, it is delicious.

Regarding the matter of boiling edamame, Li Xiao still has some experience. The edamame cooked by others is all yellow and yellow, only the edamame cooked by Li Xiao is green and green, and you have an appetite when you look at it.

The secret ingredient is very simple, which is to put some alkali when boiling edamame.

There were guests today, and Li Xiao wanted to spend a relaxing vacation. But this person was introduced by Ai Husheng, so I'm embarrassed not to see him. It is said that Ai Husheng was an old friend when he used to do business.

For international friends, it's not bad to meet. After all, you can know something foreign through their mouths. Although I have a clear picture of the history of the world in my head, it is only what I see in a book or on a website.

Talking to these international masters can give you a more real understanding of the world. After all, I want to go to the UK or the US this year. It's definitely the kind of boat ride that makes you want to vomit!

At this time, the United States was still called the North American territory of the British Empire. On this side of the Pacific Ocean, it is still the land of the Indians. The total territory of North America is only tens of thousands of people.

As for South America, it is now the world of the Spaniards and the Portuguese. In the Age of Discovery, these two teeth used to be very good. The Pope once said that the earth is split in half and given to their families.

It can be said that because of the leading position of the Age of Discovery. Let the old hooligans in Europe who are fighting in groups stop at once and try their best to expand the interests of the empire overseas.

France was very fond of Africa, and Britain preemptively occupied India. The Russian Empire expanded everywhere, and the remaining ones squatted at home.

"Greetings, honorable Generalissimo!" It's hot, but the guy in front of me is still wearing a tuxedo. Take off your top hat and reveal your blonde hair.

"You're good!" The other party's etiquette made Li Xiao feel that it was a little inappropriate to wear a hurdle vest and big pants, but there was no way, he couldn't go into the house to change clothes now.

"What do you call it?" Li Xiao set the words according to the usual words in Sijiu City.

"John! John. Washington. This is my son, Augustine! We are from the North American territory of the British Empire! The person who came spoke very politely, and bowed to Li Xiao with a top hat in his hand. At the same time, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy behind him also bent down and bowed to Li Xiao.

"Oh John! You said your name was John. Washington? Li Xiao's voice suddenly changed tone, and Ao Canghai, who was trying to deal with a huge pike crab, was startled. Look at Li Xiao, and look at the yellow-haired man named John in front of him, it seems that he is no different from other foreigners.

"That's right! My name is John. Washington. John immediately became nervous, and little Augustine tugged at Daddy's clothes tightly. Because they saw that the straight hand beside Li Xiao was already on the handle of the gun. And the soldier standing on the top floor of the villa aimed the gun in his hand directly at the two men.

Li Xiao looked carefully at this guy who couldn't tell his age, the age of a foreigner is really hard to guess. Especially for a man in his thirties and forties, you can say that he is thirty years old, and forty years old is right. However, his actual age may only be twenty-five.

John. Washington! Augustine. Washington!

These two names are not outstanding, to be exact, few people should know each other. But John had a good grandson, Augustine's son. The kid's name is George. Washington!

This grandson is so famous, so famous that anyone who has studied modern history should know his name. It is precisely because of him that the United States of America is born. Although this is decades later, it is really unthinkable to see the grandfather and dad of the famous Washington.

Now should be an opportunity to rewrite history, Augustine. Washington is now only eleven or twelve. Unless the kid is gifted, little Washington may be being contained in his body in some sort of single-celled form.

Just take out Augustine and stop the birth of Washington. Without Washington, the United States of America would have ......!

Li Xiao's mind was crooked to the fullest, and both of them were scared to death. They just wanted to come to talk about business with the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't want to talk about their lives. The soldier with the gun in his hand, Junko's eyes are as fierce as a wolf. and Ao Canghai's appearance like a dead man, which caused them huge psychological pressure.

"Generalissimo! Generalissimo! Washington was in a hurry to give the tongue man a look, and the tongue man saw Li Xiao in a daze, and dared to shout two sentences.

"Oh! Nothing, Washington! Very good! Very good! Sit! Have a seat! Junko, bring two cups over. Li Xiao reacted and beckoned Shunzi to take the cup.

The huge pressure on his body disappeared all at once. The soldier standing on the high place put away his gun, and Junko no longer looked like a wolf, but obediently took the cup.

Washington pulled his son to sit down, his back already drenched with sweat. Nothing to do with the weather!

"You said that you are from the territory of North America, you should know the relationship between the Ming and the United Kingdom today. Because of Wu Sangui's relationship, in fact, we are in a state of hostility. Li Xiao sat opposite and patted Ao Canghai on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to be too excited.

The tiger-like Ao Canghai was gnawing on crabs while staring at the two of them, putting great psychological pressure on the two Washingtons. Little Augustine is about to cry!

"My honourable Generalissimo, this is not the intention of our Majesty. Of course, it's not something that our North American territory can manage. You may not know it, though we are a British Empire North American Territory. But we should have autonomy, which means that we can exercise some degree of autonomy in the North American territories. "John. Washington replied cautiously.

"What a thing is autonomy!" Hearing their words, Ao Canghai was a little confused, and turned his head to look at Li Xiao.

"It's similar to the situation in Yizhou, as long as taxes are paid, the imperial court does not send officials to govern it locally." Li Xiao thought about it for a while, and could only take Yizhou as an example. Now He Kegang has no one to care about in Yizhou, as long as he pays a full amount of taxes every year.

"Then they must be a place where birds don't!" Ao Canghai immediately made a decision.

He Kegang has the final say in Yizhou, but in fact, there is no way to do it. The place was too poor, and the court was already short of officials. No one wants to go to that place in Yizhou, so He Kegang can only have the final say.

So Li Xiao explained autonomy like this, Ao Canghai's first impression was what bullshit North American territory, which is another place where his mother's birds don't shit.

"We still have a lot of North American territory, and we have a good port in Boston. There were many shipyards there, and even the British mainland came to buy Boston-built ships. In addition, the central region is rich in grain, and the corn and wheat produced are exported to European countries.

Plantations in the south are prevalent, and in addition to rice production, cash crops such as tobacco and cotton are mainly cultivated. Many of the products produced in North America can even compete with British products in the international market, and North American territory is not as good as you might say. John listened to the translator of the tongue man on the side, and hurriedly explained to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao knew about this, but he didn't bother to talk to Ao Ye. Trying to explain a truth to Ao Ye is definitely a nightmare.

"What is the matter with you coming to see me?" Li Xiao thought that this guy's request couldn't even be handled by Ai Husheng, so it should be a big deal.

"We came to see you, the Generalissimo, just to do business with the Ming Dynasty. You see, this ......! John said, pulling a box of things from his bosom and placing it on the table.

Li Xiao was happy when he saw this thing, what a good thing!

"What the hell? Holy shit, so rough. Ao Canghai glanced at it and immediately exclaimed.
