1850 American Gold Tycoon.

The Pacific Railway is a huge project, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Although Liang Yao invested a lot in the construction of the Pacific Railway, whether in terms of personnel or funds, he gave the California Railway Company the greatest support.

But at present, the Pacific Railway is only half built.

So this time when going to New York, Liang Yao can only take the Nicaragua route like last time.

Until the completion of the Pacific Railroad, the Nicaragua Line remained the most important traffic route between California and the eastern United States.

After the widening of Nicaragua's canal by Vanderbilt, shipping efficiency has improved significantly.

The last time it took Liang Yao two months to travel from San Francisco to Texas, but this time, Liang Yao only took 53 days to reach Texas.

Liang Yao had no plan to stay in Dezhou, but the hospitable and simple Texas people are so enthusiastic that Liang Yao felt a little uneasy.

After the fleet anchored at the port of Houston, Liang Yao stepped off the ship and landed on the land of Houston. Harvey and Nathan greeted them with very unfriendly eyes.

Harvey and Nathan are the sons of a Texas congressman and Zoe's licking dogs.

"Grandpa, I have good news and bad news to tell you, which one do you want to hear?" Liang Yao asked.

Northern consortiums would rather invest in France and Scotland than in the South.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Liang Weiming said cheerfully.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing with your grandfather! Did you make something wrong here?" Liang Weiming gave Liang Yao a blank look.

Just like three years ago, Zoe's skin is still healthy and wheat-colored, and she still has a very well-proportioned figure. At her waist is the knife that Liang Yao gave him as a gift from President Polk.

Although Liang Weiming's beard was painfully pulled by Katerina, he still let Katerina play with it.

More than [-]% of the cotton, sugar, and tobacco produced in Texas were sold to California. The California railway company also built a railway in Texas and laid a relatively complete telegraph line.

"This child was carved out of your mold." Liang Weiming looked at Katerina and then at Liang Yao.

They didn't expect Liang Yao to owe such a romantic debt in Dezhou.

Vanderbilt even sent out invitations, and now the whole of America knows that Liang Yao is going to marry Vanderbilt's daughter.

Of course, Southerners do not welcome Northerners investing in their turf.

Compared with the happy grandparents of the Liang family, Bell's face was not so good-looking, he said to Liang Yao in a commanding tone.

Of course, the former commodore in New York was not a good friend.

"Caterina, call Dad."

Liang Yao seemed to understand something.

Liang Weiming was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and carefully took Katerina from Zooey as if he was holding a baby.

However, compared to the former Texas governor Bell's eyes, who wanted to swallow Liang Yao alive, the eyes of Harvey and Nathan were already very friendly.

But before he was happy for a long time, Liang Weiming quickly reacted and knocked on Liang Yao's door twice.

Bell was so angry, besides giving Bell a surprise by making Bell his grandfather, Liang Yao couldn't think of anything else that could make Bell so angry.

Zooey squatted down, kissed the little girl's cheek, then picked up the little girl and said to the little girl.

Not long after, Liang Yao came to Bell's manor.

Liang Weiming also seemed to see a clue.

"You have been upgraded to a great grandfather now." Liang Yao said.

Born in Georgia, Fremont is also technically a Southerner.

The personal affairs between Liang Yao and Bell would not affect the friendship between him and other dignitaries in Texas.

Fremont and the others who went to New York to attend Liang Yao's wedding felt overwhelmed by Liang Yao.

Although Liang Weiming didn't know much about this place in Texas, he could tell that Bell had an extraordinary influence in Texas and was a prominent local family.

Due to the tense relationship between the North and the South, the debate between abolition and slavery has already risen to the level of political correctness.

"Where is ours?" Liang Yao asked.

"Yao'er, do you have any trouble with Mr. Bell?"

It is unacceptable for an ordinary family, let alone a family of a famous family, to let their daughter conceive before marriage.

He knows very well that southerners have a hot temper, and they are not easy to provoke someone who is willing to suffer.

"Don't go to New York, you just make up for the wedding in Houston."

"Just call me by my name. General Liang is a very old name." Liang Yao looked at Zoe's small face and said, "You seem to have matured a lot."

"Playing in the manor, you will see her soon," Zoe said.

Except for the brown eyes, Katerina was indeed very similar to Liang Yao.

If Liang Yao breaks the appointment because of this, Vanderbilt's side will not end well, and Vanderbilt, who has lost his face, will definitely not let it go.

Liang Yao did such a thing in Texas, Bell would never let Liang Yao go easily.

Katerina tilted her little head, looked at Liang Yao curiously, stretched out her chubby little hand to grab Liang Yao's chin and laughed nonchalantly.

"Zoe!"

Offending both the plantation owners in the south and the capitalists in the north at the same time in the matter of marriage, you kid is also a talent.Fremont thought.

Before arriving at Bell's manor, Liang Yao saw Zoe riding on a horse wearing breeches and riding boots from a distance on the way.

Vaguely, Liang Yao seemed to hear Zoe's soft sobbing, which made Liang Yao feel very guilty. Since 1852, he has not been to Texas again.

However, except for the former governor of Texas, Bell, other Texas dignitaries have a very friendly attitude towards Liang Yao. After all, California and Texas have had a friendship of sharing weal and woe.And the California consortium is now Texas' largest trading partner.

Seeing Zoe, Liang Yao galloped up and chased after her.

"After all, she is also a mother now." Zooey said with her head lowered, avoiding Liang Yao's gaze.

But soon, Katerina's attention was attracted by Liang Weiming who was beside Liang Yao. She opened her hands to Liang Weiming, and said in a childlike voice, "Grandpa with a long beard, give me a hug."

It's just that compared with Zoe three years ago, her eyes are a little less lively and agile, and a little more mature.

Due to special historical reasons, California is not a northern week in the traditional sense, so the California consortium is the only free state that has investment projects in Texas and other southern states.

"Liang Shang. General Liang." Seeing Liang Yao, Zooey's eyes were a little moist.

Katerina snuggled into Liang Weiming's arms, playing with Liang Weiming's beard.

Zooey got off the horse skilfully, and came to a two or three-year-old little girl, who had long black and straight hair and was wearing a little white dress.

"Being the son-in-law of our Southerners is worse than being the son-in-law of the Yankees?!"

"Mr. Bell, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." As Liang Yao's close friend and colleague, Fremont still decided to stand up for Liang Yao.

But before Fremont finished speaking, Bell immediately interrupted Fremont.

"Your Excellency Fremont! This is a grievance between me and him! It's none of your business, so you don't need to say anything."

After finishing speaking, Bell pulled out his waist knife and stabbed it fiercely on the ground: "Liang Yao! Either you organize the wedding in Houston today! Or don't even think about leaving Houston standing up!"
