1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 429
"Arms, food, cloth, coal, if possible, I hope you can buy some Russian Empire war bonds, I think this is a very promising investment.

His Majesty the Tsar will also remember that you extended a helping hand to us in the most difficult time of the empire. said Muraviyov.

Liang Yao looked at Muraviyov as if he was insane.

Buying Russian War Bonds?

My fucking money has no place to spend it, right?

"My ammunition is very expensive, do you have enough yellow and silver?" Liang Yao said unhurriedly.

"As for your country's war bonds, if your country's war bonds are valuable, you don't have to go all the way to Xiangshan to find me."

Muraviyov was a little disappointed when he heard that. Judging from Liang Yao's tone and attitude, Liang Yao would not buy the war bonds of the Russian Empire.

At most, Muraviyov could only buy some military supplies and daily necessities from Liang Yao.

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough gold and silver, but we have a lot of high-quality furs! Our furs are very popular in northern China and Japan, as long as you can sell these furs to Japan or northern China, you can also get enough silver," said Muraviyov.

"From now on, you can't meddle in any affairs related to the Ezo region." Liang Yao's tone was very strong, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Muraviyov suppressed the anger in his heart, made a contract with Liang Yao and signed the agreement.

"My deputy also knows more about specific matters than I do. I will ask my deputy to discuss specific matters with your assistant. You are right. In our position, we only need to make decisions. Specific matters It should be handed over to the people below."

As long as these furs are transported to California for processing, made into finished clothing and hats and sold to the eastern United States or wealthy Western European regions, the profits are still very considerable.

During Deng Yan's tenure as the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, he had many conflicts with Muraviev on the Ezo issue.

"What conditions?" Muraviyov asked, frowning.

"What about furs for arms and food?" Muraviyov asked.

"I can suffer a bit and give you some discounts, but I need you to promise me some conditions." Liang Yao said.

For this reason, Liang Yao had to transfer the Chaoyong to Japan to deter the Russians.

It was after the Meiji Restoration that Japan fully controlled the island of Hokkaido. At this time, the sovereignty of the island was still in the hands of the Ezo people.

Ezo is the land confiscated by the Japanese shogunate, and will be the island of Hokkaido in the future.

If Muraviyov didn't have this patience, Nicholas I would not have handed over the power of Siberia to Muraviyov.

"Empty talk has no proof, it's better to make a contract. If disputes arise again in the future, we can also have a proof." Liang Yao said.

Muraviyov almost wanted to shoot the case. You are a major general of the American Army. I was a major general of the Russian Empire more than ten years ago. It stands to reason that I, the governor, should be higher than you, a major general of the army. Now you actually want me and Talk to your assistant.

Liang Yao's request, attitude and tone of speech made Muraviev very unhappy.

It seems reasonable and reasonable for Muraviyov and Carnegie to discuss the purchase of arms and other materials, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency Governor, is there something wrong?" Liang Yaoming asked knowingly, staring at Muraviyov's distorted face meanly.

The color and quality of fur in Siberia are indeed among the best, and they are the best in fur.

Of course, not only Liang Yao has a strong interest in this island, but the Russians also covet Ezo Island.

Muraviyov took a deep breath to ease his emotions. If he hadn't had to bow his head under the eaves, with his temper, he would have beaten Liang Yao up today.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Governor's words are wrong." Liang Yao said with a smile, "Ezo Island is not the territory of the Russian Empire, why should I take advantage of the fire to rob it."

Liang Yao wanted this batch of furs, but he wanted to lower the price. Now, no one in the entire Pacific region dared to buy Muraviyov's furs except him, Liang Yao.The current situation is very conducive to Liang Yao's price suppression.

In fact, it was a humiliation to Muraviyov.

"Hahaha, General Liang, you are taking advantage of the fire." Muraviyov clenched his fists.

"Your arrangements are very secure." Muraviyov forced an ugly smile on his face.

With Liang Yao's progress, Muraviyov's expression gradually became distorted, and a little intolerance would lead to great schemes. In order to obtain Liang Yao's supplies, Muraviyov still chose to endure and accepted Liang Yao's request. .

Selling these furs directly to northern China and Japan can indeed earn a little money, but the profits of rough-processed products are there, not much higher.

"It's too troublesome." Liang Yao shook his head and said, "And I don't lack furs, and the Oregon area also produces high-quality furs."

After signing, Muraviev put away his pen and said: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?"

Controlling Hokkaido to contain Japan is the basic strategy formulated by Liang Yao.

"Well, I promise you," said Muraviev.

Honshu Island, Kyushu Island, and Shikoku Island have too many Hezu people. Liang Yaomei has a way to completely control it, but there are not many Hezu people on Ezo Island. As long as there is enough time, Liang Yao still hopes to completely control Ezo Island and achieve containment The purpose of deterring Japan.

Liang Yao smiled and nodded: "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."

Of course, this idea can only be an idea now.Muraviyov couldn't bear the consequences of beating Liang Yao. Besides, Liang Yao had a strong body and looked capable of fighting. If there was a real fight, Muraviyov was not fully sure of beating Liang Yao to the ground. .

"My identity is only responsible for making decisions about whether to sell or not. How to sell and how much to sell. Your Excellency the Governor can negotiate with my assistant." Liang Yao put away the contract he just signed with Muraviyov, and said lightly .

It's just that Muraviyov is in a predicament now. Facing Liang Yao's unacceptable request, he doesn't have much choice.

In the Far East, he has always been the only one who has a tough attitude towards people. It is the first time that others have such a tough attitude towards him.

After Carnegie and Muraviyov's deputy finished discussing the specific transaction matters, Muraviyov left the teahouse in an unhappy mood.

After Muraviyov left, Liang Yao walked to the window of the teahouse. The construction site near the teahouse caught Liang Yao's eyes.

These are the Xiangshan people who have made a fortune in California and are building new houses.

"Raksha. The Russians are wolves with ambitions. A contract can't hold them back. Today they bowed to us only when they encountered difficulties." Deng Yan watched Telaviyov go away, then turned his head and said to Liang Yao.

"If the war between them and Britain and France ends, this contract will be a piece of paper in their eyes."
