"Excuse me, what do you think of slavery?"

"It's really an interesting topic, and I know that the English Kingdom has abolished slavery and is known as a model of a modern civilized nation. But we have to see that in most of the world's great powers, including France, Prussia, Russia, the Italian city-states, the United States, and Austria-Hungary, slavery is still prevalent, and even in Tsarist Russia, serfdom is the basis of imperial rule, and in the southern United States, black slaves are the main labor force on cotton plantations, which cannot be denied. ”

Speaking of which

Richard paused and smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of clean and neat white teeth, with an elegant temperament like Zhilan, before continuing;

"I myself am not against slavery, it allows people in society to live in an orderly manner according to their own classes, and it is an ancient social system that has been passed down to this day, and naturally has its own reason for existence.

But here I would like to state one point;

I do not support the brutality or even inhumanity of slavery, and the bloody and brutal treatment of those poor people by certain slave owners, who often torture them with broken arms and legs, is really inhumane and must be severely condemned.

Therefore, I have limited support for slavery, hoping that a more humane system can replace it and promote social stability and peace and contentment. ”

"That's really an enlightened and wise view, and I couldn't agree more." Mr. William Richardson was the first to applaud, drawing a round of applause from the crowd, and his gaze met imperceptibly with Ronald Evenson, who was standing on the other side.

It was a temptation and apparently did not get the desired result.

Although this Richard is not very old, he is skillful in communication skills, slippery, and does not see political leanings and specific preferences from the temptation, as if he is a veteran in the social circle.

Like this Q&A, you are in favor of slavery...... Or is it not supported?

Richard said earlier that he did not support the brutal and inhuman side of slavery, and then he said that he had limited support and hoped that a more humane system would replace it.

What a real little slippery head!

After the bilateral meeting, Richard and the others left Yerba Buena and headed for Grape Valley.

William Richardson and the others sent him to the door, waved goodbye, and then returned to the house.

"Ms. Chrissy, please make us another pot of espresso and your hazelnut biscuits, thank you!" After instructing the maid, William Richardson had a wry smile on his face and beckoned everyone to say; "Sit down and talk, we've met a little slippery head that is not easy to deal with."

It must be admitted that "Li" is really worthy of being born in the noble blood of the lost royal family, as if he was born to know how to communicate. ”

"There's no doubt he's smart, and some of his abilities are innate."

"It's really hard to deal with, I talked a lot for a long time, and now I think about it as if I didn't say anything, it's really hell."

"That's fun, isn't it?"

"We don't know much about the mysterious Eastern Empire, and it's hard to imagine that Lee was able to tame wild wolves and bears, and I've never seen anyone do that."

"Tigers, lions, bears and leopards can all be tamed, and the European circus has a whole way of doing this, and there were artists who tamed snakes for a living in ancient India, but it is not so mysterious."

"But I have never seen anyone who can tame an adult wolf, not even the native Indians, doesn't that say a lot?"

"Perhaps he has mastered some unknown method, which is not the point of the matter, gentlemen, let us turn our attention to the main issues of concern......

While everyone was talking, the British adventurer Ronald Evenson had to gently tap his hand on the table to stop this speculation.

At the social events of British high society, a few gentlemen could chat about the weather for an hour, and this bad habit of hypocrisy and entertainment flowed around the world with the British colonial footsteps.

Ronald Evenson doesn't want to waste any more time on this topic, his dream is to follow in the footsteps of the famous adventurers of the Age of Discovery, and make a big career and make history as celebrities.

Britain has a long history of adventurers, and the word "adventurer", which symbolizes the spirit of brave and fearless exploration of the unknown, brings together the pioneers of exploration, social activists, military backgrounds, excellent hunters and messengers of civilization.

In 1583, the English explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert established a settlement in St. John's, present-day Newfoundland, claiming it to be the first British colony in North America.

In 1611, the English explorer and navigator Henry Hudson sailed to Hudson Bay in present-day Ontario and declared it British to belong.

Decades later, the resounding title of "Lawrence of Arabia" spread all over the world, leaving a deep British imprint on West Asia and North Africa, and is the masterpiece of the famous British explorer Lawrence.

……

This is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and there is no one.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Ronald Evenson cleared his throat and said in a demagogic tone;

"Honorable gentlemen;

We had a very good start, much better than expected, not only did we get the supreme command of the Joint Military Commission, but we also reached a hefty deal worth £330,000 with the Datang Society, tying the interests of both sides tightly.

As you can see, Datang will be a trustworthy partner, and I will highlight this point in my reply to the London telegram.

Next

It is to support the further growth of Parkview Green and Datang Society, to become the representative of the pro-British forces in Upper California, to clear the way and promote the independent establishment of the region in the region.

We will receive the necessary military training and material support, as well as the necessary diplomatic solidarity and naval support to achieve the ultimate goal of slowing down America's greedy and unbridled expansion.

In this great event that will surely go down in history, how did you perform and how much did you contribute?

will determine whether your name will be presented to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the wise and wise at Buckingham Palace.

And this is one of them

In addition to Parkview Green's own efforts, how to firmly control the handy Chinese armed force of the Datang Society and let it act according to our baton will become the key to this.

It can be seen that Richard has a high prestige in the organization he has single-handedly formed, and how to tie it firmly to the chariot of England has become our primary consideration......"

The closed-door meeting ended, an hour and a half later.

Dutch Captain Doug, Mayor Fox, grocery store owner Odom Russell and others left one after another,

William Richardson put on his high-brimmed top hat and went out with an emerald-encrusted cane in his hand, looking up at the brilliant sunset that filled the sky, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Faced with the heavy pressure of the American GIs, he knew that this was a big gamble, and if he lost the gamble, most of his life's wealth might be wasted, and the cost would be too great.

"British captains were pioneers of adventurers spreading the glory of the British Empire, and so are you. With all due respect, this may be the closest the Richardsons have come to noble glory. Behind him came Ronald Evenson's demagogic voice.

He seems to be able to sense William Richardson's hesitation and encourage him at the right time, and he is simply a master of playing with people's hearts.

William Richardson replied with a solemn expression; "It's a poisonous apple, and I don't know if it's worth putting all my life on it, I'm too old to have the ambitions of a young man."

"This doesn't need Fangcaodi to rush to the front in everything, so that Datang will do it......"

"As you said, that's a little slippery."

"Oh, yes, that's what I said, you don't think you can control Lee?"

"He's the best young man I've ever met, with the agility of a cheetah and the intelligence of a fox, and it's hard for ordinary interests to drive him to risk."

"I remember......" Ronald Evenson said here and stood still, with a mysterious smile on his face, looking at William Richardson and said confidently;" You have 4 beautiful daughters, only one of whom is married, and the other three are yet to be ......."

After saying that, he went straight away.

His words set off waves in William Richardson's heart, and his face became blue and red, as if he was thinking about this possibility?
