Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 996
Small!

This was the first word that entered Deng Pu's mind.

——Everything around is so huge.

The vast and cloudless sky, the prairie like surging waves.Other than that, as far as the eye can see, nothing else can be seen, no roads, no tracks of vehicles, a completely empty wilderness.

He was deeply shocked by the vast world, and his heart was beating in a completely unfamiliar rhythm.

He sat on this prairie, letting his body shake with the rhythm of the prairie.He felt bursts of joy in his heart, and he wanted to describe his feelings at this moment. The poems he had learned kept coming to his mind, but he couldn't describe this world, let alone his inner feelings.

Finally, he spit out the sentence that appeared in his mind several times:

"This place is really big..."

Yes, this piece of land is his now, and when this thought came to his mind, he turned his head and looked at the woman behind him—Eliza, who was sitting in the carriage and looked at him.

"3015 square kilometers, dear!"

Eliza pointed to the land and said.

"200 years ago, my ancestors came to Rio from Portugal, and he stayed on the plantation for eight years before he paid the boat fare and was free, and then he came here on horseback, and then he established here It belonged to his ranch, and there were only a few natives living here at the time..."

When mentioning the past of her ancestors, Elisa's tone was full of pride, how could she not be proud?
200 years ago, her ancestors came to the Mato Grosso plateau with nothing, and came to this strange land. At that time, it was a wild place, and he built a house and a home here. 200 years later, Rodriguez Ranch is the largest ranch here.

Looking at the beautiful girl beside him, Deng Pu said with emotion.

"According to Huaxia, your family is a wealthy family that has been passed down from generation to generation, but... how do you think of me, a poor boy?"

What his wife said made Eliza laugh.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Eliza's face was filled with a smile. It was undeniable that she loved this man, but besides love, there was also some utilitarianism.

"This is the best option."

Old Rodriguez stood on the balcony and looked at Yuanyan, talking to himself.

"When my great-grandfather came here 200 years ago, he married the tribal chief's daughter, and we became a family..."

Near the manor, there are wooden houses built on the river bank, where they live.

200 years ago, when this land was new, they all lived in tents, and those indigenous people worked and herded cattle for their families, and it has been like this for 200 years.

"Now, he will become Elisa's husband, a captain of the Imperial Army. He is a very decent officer. Although he is not a nobleman, if he is a nobleman, how can he stay here?"

When old Rodriguez was talking to himself, he occasionally cast his eyes on the chair aside. When his wife was alive, he would always sit here and look into the distance, waiting for him to come home.

"Eliza, our daughter knows what she should choose..."

As if chatting with his wife, the elder Rodriguez walked to the chair, sat on it, and picked up a bottle of beer.

When drinking the ice-cold beer, Rodriguez's face showed an expression of enjoyment from the cold feeling. Even now, he can still remember the first time he saw the frozen train two years ago. The look of astonishment when the ice came out of the freezer.

He bought a freezer, and then, ate ice cream and drank cold beer.Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the opening of the railway, so that the cattle in his pasture can be directly transported out, and there is no need for cowboys to drive long distances to drive the cattle as in the past.

Now that the cattle on the ranch can be sent to Rio through livestock carriages, beef can also be transported to Rio through refrigerated carriages.

No, not Rio.

It is Huizhou.

"It will go...it's a bit awkward to read."

Old Rodriguez said to himself.

Although he is unwilling to admit it, Rodriguez is very clear that since Ming Dynasty occupied Brazil, the changes here are obvious, not because there are more Chinese farmers here, nor because there are Chinese immigrants in the city.

It's railways, it's electricity, it's... modern civilization!
The Ming Empire brought modern civilization to this plateau. Before them, this place was not much different from a hundred years ago.

Of course, this is also for better unification (lüè) governance (duó)" this land. In the past few years, the Ming Empire has infiltrated from all aspects. They handed over a large amount of land to Chinese immigrants, and they opened new They have profoundly changed this place. Unlike the Brazilian Empire in the past, which was indifferent to everything except taxes, the Ming Empire's rule here is effective, and it goes deep into every aspect.

And like all occupiers, they will use banks, railroads, etc. to plunder wealth.But all this has nothing to do with the old Rodriguez.

Three years ago, he sent his daughter to Yingtian to study in college, and now she has returned with her husband, an officer of the Ming Empire.

In a few days, he will hold a grand wedding here, and from then on, this ranch will become a Chinese ranch.

"The lady is back, the lady is back!"

Suddenly, excited shouts came from people in the distance. The old Rodriguez stood up from his chair and looked at the approaching carriage with a smile on his face, at the daughter on the carriage, and of course her husband.

"father!"

As soon as the carriage stopped, Eliza "flyed" into her father's arms like a beautiful butterfly.

"Eliza, my daughter, welcome home, hurry up, introduce me, this must be the Deng Pu you mentioned in your letter."

Although Rodriguez did not speak Chinese, Deng Pu still understood his Portuguese. He took a step forward and bowed.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law."

Hearing this "father-in-law", old Rodriguez's face instantly became happy.

That's right, this is the name of the Chinese people. He thought of Santos' son-in-law, the deputy station master of the railway station, who called Santos.

"Don't be polite, don't be Keqi, this is your home from now on."

When speaking in blunt Chinese, the old Rodriguez gave his son-in-law a strong hug to welcome him, and at the same time he said to his daughter.

"Elisa, you must be very tired. Take a good rest these two days. I will hold your wedding here two days later. I also invited the mayor."

The mayor must be invited. Of course, having a son-in-law of an imperial officer is something to show off. How could the mayor not be invited?

Besides, the mayor... is also of Chinese descent!Letting the mayor preside over the wedding is also to tell everyone that his son-in-law, the future male owner of the ranch, is from Daming.

From today onwards, he and his ranch are the real Da Ming's ranch, and they should be treated differently by the officials just like those Daming people.

In fact, everything is a business in the final analysis, at least for him, a son-in-law of Daming is of great benefit and no harm...
