San Francisco, California

The bustling streets, the smoke that has long been gone a year ago,

Because the ground has already been covered by heavy snow, and has become a muddy ground,

Came to Downs Manor with difficulty,

Lu Yan stepped on the slave's back and got off the horse, and said in a trance: "I seem to have forgotten an important thing!" ”

"Boss, is there anyone else who hasn't solved it?"

Asked about Lu Yan, Stanley looked at Kuipa next to him, as if to say, is there anyone else who hasn't died?

But in the face of Stanley's gaze, Kuipa shook his head,

Just when Lu Yan walked into the manor and saw a group of women, he hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "I remember, it's Elizabeth!" ”

"Damn bastard, you send me back, go back!"

Rushing out from the side in a frenzy, Elizabeth Bennett couldn't help but roar,

Seeing the other party, Lu Yan turned around and ran away.

He finally remembered the incident, it was Elizabeth!

Because he heard him talking with Morgan at the cocktail party, he was "kidnapped" by Lu Yan back to Elizabeth Bennett in San Francisco!

Pride and prejudice! 】

But alas, the thing has already been done, and it is impossible to send her back!

After all, the entire British aristocracy and wealthy merchants are looking for "Lu Yan"!

Once they know who "borrowed" their money, then Lu Yan's next fun is to wrestle with Britain!

Seeing Lu Yan's embarrassed appearance, Lucy and Fang Ting were a little puzzled: "This Miss Bennett seems to be prejudiced against Mr. Lu?" ”

looked at Lucy and Fantine embarrassedly, and Elizabeth smiled bitterly,

Is that called prejudice? That's to kill Lu Yan directly!

Originally, they just went to the cocktail party, but because they accidentally heard something, they were sent directly to the other side of the ocean by Lu Yan.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, it is estimated that she would have staged a "vendetta" directly!

In the upstairs room, Lu Yan was blocked in the corner by Bennett, and said with an embarrassed face: "Miss Bennett, in fact, we can discuss the question of how to compensate, or, gold?" ”

As he spoke, Lu Yan directly opened the cabinet and showed a wall of gold that had been turned into gold bricks!

Suddenly seeing this scene, Bennet covered his mouth in surprise,

Because she didn't know that the manor, where she had lived for two months, still had such a wall!

But thinking about what happened to him, Bennet roared, "Send me back!" ”

"It's impossible to go back! After all, you know some secrets, and if I didn't kill you, it's already good! ”

Talking and laughing, Lu Yan picked up the cigarette and said, "How about a different request?" ”

"I miss my parents and sisters! But none of them are here! Bastard, it's all because of you! ”

Looking at Lu Yan angrily, Bennett roared angrily,

But after hearing this, Lu Yan snapped his fingers and said, "Do you miss your family?" It's easy, I'll help you see how they are! ”

"Really?"

Looking at Lu Yan curiously, Bennet asked a little puzzled!

"Of course, after all, as long as you have money, you can do anything, right?"

looked at Bennet with a smile on his face, and Lu Yan showed a meaningful smile.

A month later, Britannia,

Somewhere in a small manor, a group of bandits suddenly broke in, armed with rifles they had never seen before, and kidnapped all the Bennett family.

The patrol officer also got the news at first and wanted to catch up, but he was shot off by the other party.

understood the other party's thoughts, and the patrol officer gave up the pursuit,

Because the other party has already shown mercy and is catching up, it will be fatal!

Just after Bennett's family was kidnapped, the whole area became tense.

However, Bennett's family was kidnapped, all because of his daughter, who disappeared a few months ago!

San Francisco, 1858!

That's right, today's San Francisco is no longer a small town, and it has officially changed its name to the city!

Because of the heat of gold panning, this place has been completely driven,

Looking at the endless stream of people, California also decided to designate this place as a key area.

The former Lucio was originally unqualified for the position of mayor, but the original airborne "wonder soldier" was solved by Lu Yan on the way.

This time, Lucio wanted to be grateful to Lu Yan,

After all, without his backing, Lucio would not have been able to stand out from the many local candidates!

Holding his glass, Lucio smiled and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

"You're welcome, as long as you don't forget, what to do next!"

stepped forward to talk and laugh with Lucio, and Lu Yan asked Rose behind him to take out a box of gold and hand it to him.

As the box opened, there were neat pieces of gold ingots inside!

Looking at this scene, Lucio hurriedly said, "I will never forget your favor!" ”

In the next development, the Ark Group will open up slave labor companies and lease them to local mine owners.

You only need to pay 5% of the proceeds!

As for the death during labor, the mine owner does not need to pay any price, this is Lu Yan's cleverness!

Because the Chinese now have backers, the whites are dishonest, not to mention the Indians, they will cut you!

Why?

That's because in the original history, there were no slave laws in San Francisco!

As for how to promote this decree? That is Lucio's proposal, and Lu Yan is trying to find a way to find supporters!

Even if someone wants to oppose it, Lu Yan will definitely not give up easily.

Because without this decree, most of the slaves they transported would have become "free men".

Can Lu Yan allow it? He tried his best to build a railroad across many states, just for the development of the Ark Group.

Now that there is no slavery bill in California, isn't that a joke?

Even if not, it must be now!

Sure enough, when Lucio proposed the bill, he was rejected by many people.

After all, there was no such decree in the first place.

In this regard, Lu Yan found mine owners from all over the world.

Because of the cooperation, many miners will choose to store gold in the Ark Bank, not only in addition to the security of the Ark Bank, but also the powerful armed forces covering the whole of California!

That is, the escort formed by Chinese, Indians, and whites, and now has a scale of more than 1,000 people.

Wells Fargo has also formed a convoy, but their investment is far less powerful than that of the Ark Group.

It is precisely because of this that many gold robbers will not touch the bottom line of the Ark Group even if they go to Wells Fargo.

Because people are really going to cross the states to kill you! You can't stop that!

In the case of many people signing together, the state legislators began to negotiate,

After sending a lot of gold, a new bill soon appeared in California, that is, to confirm that the black slaves shipped from Africa were unambiguous slaves, and no one was allowed to release them without permission!

At the beginning, there were also parliamentarians who wanted to make Chinese slaves, but they were hanged in front of their houses the next day.

Only then did everyone understand how ruthless the Ark Group was!

In this era when the law is not clear, although the cost of crime is low, you also have to figure out who to provoke.

That's the Ark Group in San Francisco, and it's definitely not as simple as it seems!

Two months later, when the bill came out,

Downs Manor, Lu Yan is raising a glass and drinking with miners from all over the world,

Because of this bill, it will be easier for him to mobilize these people and finance his troops.

What is a slave? Slaves are the tools used by these mine owners to obtain gold!

The north wants human resources to complete the industry, it's simple, you ask him to buy someone in Lu, he doesn't have much else, it's just a lot of people!
