Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The people who were preparing the New Year gifts for Xiao Letian were not only Dragon Lord and King Shang Tai. Almost all the senior officials who were preparing to return to Ryukyu started to rack their brains for the New Year gifts.

The Chun Sanshiniang of the Beijing had mobilized the resources of the northern branch of the CIA and bought twenty-four young and beautiful women from the common folk. They were going to be sent over in the name of the shortage of maids in the Prime Minister's Manor.

During this period of time, Chun Sanshiniang did not do anything else, all of her energy had been placed on the 24 girls' loyalty test, the eight generations of her ancestors had already been investigated, and they had to carry out mental education everyday, which was basically brainwashing.

Chun Sanshiniang was also afraid that there would be a few spies mixed in, which would be a big problem.

The Tanggu also started to move, and the subordinate businesses that maintained close cooperation with the foreign merchants all went crazy. It was as if the Four Seas Trading Company's Keeper Niu who made a fortune with Xiao Letian had gotten swollen in the teeth during these two days due to the preparation of their gifts.

Letian Firm and Letian Bank were the two most important financial institutions under the protection of the Prime Minister's Manor. After running around for the past few years, the Keeper Niu had managed to obtain a permanent seat at the bank. This was a golden rice bowl that couldn't be traded for money, and was considered to be a core member of Xiao Letian's power.

"What is that thing?" Xuan De Furnace! Do you have a pig's head? Can Song Dynasty's antiques be used? At the very least, you have to do it well … "Go and search again!"

"Giving it to a beauty? Am I being careless or are you being stupid? Since we have already sent the Chun Sanshiniang s of the Beijing s, can we show our kindness if we send more? Besides, Thirteen Niang can send it. No problem, if I send it, then just wait for the two madams to come and take care of me! "Get lost …"

"Right …" I remember now, Master's Journey to the West has not been printed in the collection yet! This is a good opportunity, let's spend a lot of money to dig up Beijing and Jiangnan's sculptor, let him create a set of rare and precious sculptures! "

"That's right, someone!" Gathering two million silver in advance from a branch number. I want to invite all the calligraphy masters in the country, the best carving technique, the best Alchemy Blue Handle … Forget the cost, let's just inscribe it! "

"Who cares if we can't make it in time. We should at least carve out 50,000 to 60,000 words in the next two months!" This is what you call money for! "

Keeper Niu felt that his idea was extremely good, he was laughing so hard that he couldn't even find his eyes. In two months of time, he had actually carved out the first fifty thousand words of the book.

Hu Xueyan was very smart. He knew that although Xiao Letian had money on him, the only weakness of Letian Firm was that he had stored too much silver and too little gold.

Silver was a very important currency in the Asian trading circles around the Kingdom of Qing, but it was not easy to trade in large quantities in Europe, where the mainstream currency was gold and where you had to pay different prices in gold and silver.

Sometimes even European countries are too lazy to ask for silver, preferring Asian physical goods of equal value.

Three thousand taels of gold seemed extraordinary? However, this common thing was precisely the reserve currency that was urgently needed in Xiao Letian's financial empire. Furthermore, Hu Xueyan's Fukang Bank had promised to help Letian Firm exchange for at least fifty thousand gold from Jiangnan within three years.

This gift was even more precious!

The high-ranking officials of the ISI stationed in the northwest prepared a set of high-precision northwest Military Maps. The envoys of the southern brought over the latest map of Southeast Asia, and the diplomats stationed in India gathered the best quality Sri Lanka gems.

Of course, there was also Fu Sang. Sakamoto Ryoma, Itou Hirobumi, the high officials of the Fu Sang ISI, had secretly instigated the Sky Emperor to cut off a piece of Lantou that was stored in the Great Temple of the East to give to Xiao Letian.

This Orchid Orchid Orchid is not ordinary. It belongs to the top national treasure of Japan. In history, those who have accepted the Orchid Orchid Orchid are all the actual rulers of Japan.

In history, it had been used for profit and righteousness, justice and justice, justice and justice, Earth Qi, Lai Wu, Zhi Tianxinchang, Ming zhi Sky Emperor and so on.

The scale of this New Year's Banquet had already shocked East Asia. Ceng Guofan from the Jiangnan, Ceng Guoquan from the Northwest had all expressed the wish to send their representatives to attend, and had prepared many expensive gifts.

However, Xiao Letian rejected them all, his tone becoming extremely tactful, saying that this was just a New Year's reception inside Ryukyu, and that he wanted to thank the others for their observation. Anyone who had a present for him would receive it back at that time.

Ceng Guofan gave her a word, Jiu Shuai gave her a treasured blade, and Zuo Zongtang drew a painting in the northwest. This was all considered normal, and in the end, even the Manchu dynasty had given Xiao Letian a yellow horse coat and the title of Batulu.

What was surprising was that no one was sent to the Ryukyu after the order, and the Qing Dynasty did not take it seriously either. The Ryukyu did not take it seriously either, since it was what the two wanted.

I am a monarch, you are a subject, I bestow it to you, you accept it, just do it with face, but the New Year present for Zai Chun took a whole boat and was sent to Ryukyu one month ahead of time.

As the new year approached, people from all over the world began to gather at Naha Harbor. Almost every day, there would be high ranking officials disembarking from the ships at the ports, and countless people were coming to welcome them.

Ships after ships of precious goods were sent to the Shouli City and the Prime Minister's Manor. Just the various ingredients prepared for the banquet were piled up like a mountain.

In the bustling atmosphere, there was only one person who was incomparably lonely.

Little Zai Chun had just returned from Fuzhou, and his three hundred guards had already been sent to Fujian. How was this place under the influence of Zuo Zongtang, the loyal subject,?

Fukang Bank had already provided over three million silver worth of military expenses and equipment. Little Zai Chun's guards had all changed their positions and become Class Queue length s, eating and living together with the new recruits. They took out all the abilities they had learnt in Ryukyu and started to imprint the new army of Ryukyu.

Zai Chun had no idea if he could surpass the Ryukyu Navy's Marine Corps, but whether he could surpass them was a question without any suspense. The only thing he could worry about was the difference in numbers.

Zai Chun was conflicted. What kind of identity should he attend this New Year banquet as? The Emperor of Great Qing or the Prime Minister's student? Ryukyu had already made it clear that this was a gathering of a hundred officials under the Prime Minister's command. They refused all diplomatic congratulations and did not accept the National Ceremony.

As for Ceng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and the rest, they were all personal gifts for the New Year, it had nothing to do with this banquet.

"Twinkle!" What do you think I should do? Your identity is so awkward! "

Hairy # 2 stood behind Zai Chun and said calmly, "Embarrassment is just a kind of mentality. It depends on how you choose … However, this servant still has something to say. If there is no Prime Minister, then there is no such thing as' Your Majesty 'today! "

Zai Chun closed his eyes and felt the night wind brush against his face. The prison was a Forbidden City. Every day, one would read books in the Hall of Arts and Flowers, and in their hearts, they would ignore their own officials despite their respectful appearance … The scenes were just like yesterday's dreams.

Right now, Zai Chun's bedroom was filled with world-famous guns. Every day, he would shoot over a hundred bullets, and Zai Chun's marksmanship was enough to pick out Ye Qiu and the others.

As for the three hundred guards, each and every one of them were trained like tigers and tigers. Zuo Jigao had mobilized all of his resources to choose his troops, they were all the children of extremely poor and kind families, simple and honest farmers.

Who gave all this? They were all his masters!

En is greater than the heavens, there is no way to repay it! "You can't be bothered about that anymore. Hairy # 2 is preparing the ink and paper …"
