Chapter 1890: Alaska
"Uh...... Her Majesty hopes that you will not publicize this matter, otherwise it will greatly affect our reputation in the world. Valova said timidly.
"So I'm dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say it's bitter!" Xiao Chenqi's nose was crooked.
"Uh-huh!" Valova nodded like garlic, "Please give Her Majesty a little time, she will definitely solve this problem." ”
"But didn't you go to Yanyun County to see Old Man Chen before you came? What did he say? The fat man asked.
"Uh...... We didn't talk to him about it. Valova whispered, "I'm afraid he'll get angry." ”
"You're not afraid I'll be angry!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Be quiet, be gentlemanly in front of the lady, don't scare Valova...... Besides, you don't need to get angry, you can just send troops! "The fat man is actually more angry than Xiao Chen, so he doesn't have such a thing!
That is, you Valova, if it were someone else, would you see if I would fan him?
"But just now Xiao Chen promised our Majesty the Queen that he would never attack us." Vallova busied.
"Alas...... I know that Xiao Chen, your kid will fall for other people's beauty tricks one day! "Fat people are going to die of sorrow.
"If you hit the plan, you will hit the plan, otherwise what should you do?" Xiao Chen sighed, "You can't get angry, you can't send troops, you can't go crazy, you can only be stupid!" ”
"If Xiao Chen is stupid, you will be rich!" The fat man said.
"Actually, it has eased our financial pressure a little, but we haven't made a fortune, and we still need a lot of gold and silver." Seeing Xiao Chen and the fat man glaring at her together, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "It's not that I want to ask you!" ”
"Hmph, if you want it, I won't give it to Ang!" Xiao Chen said.
"If you want to give it, we can't ask for it." Valova said leisurely.
"But we can sell it, and we're here to sell it...... Angelina said.
"Sell what?" Xiao Chen and the fat man spoke in unison.
"Sell armaments." Angelina said.
"Sell the land." Valova said.
It is still understandable to sell armaments, because the muskets and artillery of the Rus Kingdom are quite good, even if they are obsolete old-fashioned weapons, they are better than the firearms made by Da Zhou himself.
And these armaments are all scrap iron, so it is better to sell them for money, of course, this must be under the premise of formally signing an agreement with Da Zhou and establishing an alliance.
But what the hell is selling land?
Aren't you Angelina very obsessed with land, just said that you want to start a war to regain the lost land, and this is going to be sold again, where are you going to sell it?
"Alaska." "We're going to sell Alaska to Da Zhou, that's a big piece of land. ”
"It's bigger than your Yanyun County." Angelina said.
"Why sell it?" Xiao Chen was surprised.
"We have too much land." Angelina said, "Alaska is overseas, and its location is too far north, and the four seasons are cold, so we can't grow a lot of food, and our residents don't want to go anywhere...... And we don't have the capacity to develop it at the moment. ”
"Even the port there freezes in the winter and cannot be used, and it is quite difficult to even station troops, because supply is a big problem." Valova said, "In your Chinese dialect, it is like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it." ”
"The main thing is that Alaska is too big, and it borders America to the east, and if the Americans invade us, we won't be able to fully defend it, so instead of that, it's better to sell it to Da Zhou, if we can conclude an alliance." Angelina said.
Of course Alaska Xiaochen knows, isn't it Alaska?
Angelina was right, Alaska's land area was much larger than his Yanyun County!
Although the land is barren and cannot be cultivated on a large scale, it is extremely rich in mineral resources, with large quantities of zinc, lead, silver, gold, and coal...... Gold alone has millions of tons of reserves, which is tons!
Historically, this land also belonged to the Russian Empire, and they were very disgusted with the barrenness and barrenness here, and they were not able to carry out large-scale development, and they were afraid of being attacked and occupied by the English, so they decided to sell cabbage for 7 million dollars to the Americans who were in a hostile state with the English at that time.
let Lao Mei take a big advantage.
Now Angelina wants to sell it to Da Zhou because of the same trouble, and history has reappeared amazingly, but the time is a little off...... A difference of hundreds of years.
"And how much silver are you going to sell?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I think at least a thousand ......," Angelina interrupted by Valova before she could finish her sentence.
"At least fifteen million taels of silver!" "You know, that's a big, big piece of land. ”
In fact, the meeting before they came agreed that it was 10 million taels of silver, and there was room for negotiation.
As the Minister of the Interior, Vallova is well versed in negotiations, and she also understands the truth of asking for a sky-high price and repaying the money on the spot, for fear that Angelina will directly say the reserve price, so she hurriedly interjected and raised the price of five million taels.
They thought it was a sky-high asking price, but in Xiao Chen's opinion, it was simply not too cheap!
More than 10 million taels of silver can buy more than 1 million square kilometers of land, and this account can be calculated even with your toes! "Xiao Chen, do you think the Great Zhou Emperor will pay so much silver to buy it?" Angelina said.
"I think he'll think about it." Xiao Chenxin said that this special thing still needs to be considered?
If I were Li Wanjiang, I wouldn't have a counteroffer!
If he doesn't buy it, some people will, such as my eldest brother of Emperor Shenzhao, if he knew about it, he was afraid that he would smash the pot and sell iron, and he would have to buy it if he killed people and sold blood!
Of course, Angelina would never sell it to him......
"The Great Zhou Imperial Capital is really prosperous, much bigger than our Santa Ann Arbor." Vallova diverted the topic, "It's finally here, you must have a good stroll, fat brother, you will accompany me, right?" ”
"I can't do it if I don't accompany me." The fat man smiled bitterly, "You must know that our brothers and sons came to accompany us at the emperor's behest." ”
Which escort is it? Of course, it's to eat, play, and go shopping...... What do you think it is?
"By the way, brother fat man, I heard them say that there is a ghost market outside Fengyang City, which is full of ghosts doing business, and selling some ghost things, is this the case?" When Valova talked about it, she was a little scared and a little excited, mainly very curious.
"The market of ghosts?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You're talking about the ghost market in Xicheng, right?" "Yes, yes, it's a ghost market, isn't it?" Vallova busied.
"Oh, there's a lot of ghost markets there, beggers, stingy ghosts, misers, big-headed ghosts, small-headed ghosts...... In short, there are a lot of ghosts, and ordinary living people don't dare to go, but if Valova wants to go, then I have to sacrifice my life to accompany me! "That's how righteous the fat man is.
