Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Ryukyu's political offering ceremony was very simple, not even half a day had passed, but no one knew that for the sake of the Ryukyu's political giving, countless people had secretly prepared for several years.

Not everyone would be willing to withdraw from the historical scene. On the surface, the feudal dynasty seemed to be the emperor's dictator, but in reality, it was all fake. There was also a huge power backing the emperor.

A relative of the royal family, an important official in the country, a great clan that had been passed down through the generations, and the head of the Military … These people were all attached to Shang Tai and benefited from his country.

It was not only as long as Shang Tai was willing to give his all, the people behind the scenes had to agree to it before they could do anything.

Fortunately, King Shang Tai's generation did not have many people, and the imperial family did not have many, so most of the important subjects were also absorbed and digested by Xiao Letian.

Of course, the key point was that the Hidden Dragon Institute had played a decisive role. This huge elite aristocrat class had absorbed a lot of old and new aristocrats, allowing both sides to obtain an orderly development dividend.

The old and new nobles had become allies, so the covert rivalry had disappeared. Naturally, their reactions were like the spring rain falling on the surface.

A Ryukyu who had lived for five hundred years, could be handed over at any time. The chess game behind this was truly frightening.

On one hand, everything had been prepared, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't appear himself. On the other hand, he should give all the glory he obtained during the political offering ceremony to King Shang Tai, as that was an honor that should only be enjoyed by King Shang Tai.

The Great Prime Minister's Manor was situated high up on the main peak of the North Mountain. The view from here was excellent, but there was one major disadvantage: the mountain was tall and the wind was strong.

Every time the Ryukyu blew a typhoon, the Great Prime Minister's Manor would basically not be able to work. Xiao Letian would always move to the city area at the bottom of the mountain, or directly enter the Nanshan's underground headquarters to work.

Today, the level six or seven ocean breeze from the Hegemony's Market area reached level eight in the Prime Minister's Manor.

However, they could not move today. Shang Tai and Xiao Letian were going to have lunch at the Great Prime Minister's Manor. This was a gathering that had been decided upon a long time ago, and one that could not be changed.

Inside the Prime Minister's Manor's garden, there was a pavilion with a glass roof. Here, one could admire the beautiful scenery of the Ryukyu without fear of wind and rain, which was where Xiao Letian liked to entertain guests.

Today, only Xiao Letian and Shang Tai were participating in the feast. They did not even have to eat much, and at the moment, Shang Tai was staring at an account table in front of him as if he was drunk. This was the dividend account for the first month after the Hidden Dragon Institute's plan was officially established.

He didn't seem to know how much assets Shang Tai had, in any case, there were more than 20 accounts that managed all of his assets. The last few accounts that the Ryukyu Kingdom had, were all taken by him, the Shouli City didn't get taken away by the Hua Clan but became the Shang Clan's private palace, and the royalty's own small treasury was kept.

All of these became the shares in the Hidden Dragon Institute's plan. All of them were cross-shareholding, the Four Seas Bank, the Mi family group, and even the Chinese Central Bank's internal shares.

Not to mention the 500 years of land owned by the imperial family, most of the land outside the city had been purchased by the Chinese and the shops in the city had been reserved.

His assets were also related to the military industry, and the explosive factory with an investment of two million silver yuan was about to be completed next year. Inside the Tanggu City, Shang Tai also owned an exquisite mechanical processing plant, and one of the boring machines was even able to process the barrel of the small caliber.

Shang Tai couldn't manage so many businesses all by himself, so he needed to appoint a lot of housekeepers and the financial masters in the Hidden Dragon Project to help him with the accounting.

After careful calculation of the monthly bonus, Shang Tai's family property's profit had actually reached a terrifying amount of $2.13 million. This amount had even exceeded his Ministry of Revenue's quarterly surplus.

"Oh my god! He made a quarterly surplus from Ryukyu in a single month? Just how much wealth is hidden in this Hidden Dragon Plan? "

Xiao Letian threw a piece of Ice Ape in his mouth: "I already told you, if you follow me, you won't lose out! The financial surplus of the Ryukyu? Heh heh, it's really funny. Without my help, when did your Ryukyu ever have any financial surpluses? "

"I told you this a long time ago, the concept of managing a country in the Middle Age is a complete disaster. Putting all of the wealth on the surface and using it as a fiscal policy is equivalent to committing suicide!"

"The true workings of wealth are always hidden in the dark! This is a principle that the Royal Family of England can comprehend much more thoroughly than you! "

"The future of the world depends on capital for survival, not on income from taxes in the Middle Age. When all the money is gathered and turned into capital, this monster will be able to release a power that is unimaginable to you …"

"In the future, we will split the profits according to the season. The amount of money you can earn will only increase, it won't decrease! You have become a true rich and powerful Carefree King! I don't want to talk about politics today. I want to ask you, what are you going to do after this? What is your ideal? "

Ideal? Shang Tai was stunned, he had never thought about this question before. "I …" My dream is obviously to let the rich and powerful people of Ryukyu … "

"You can pull it down …" Xiao Letian downed a cup of wine, "That was when you were the one who was actually the King of Shang Tai, the responsibilities people gave you, after being brainwashed for so many years, were you really dreaming then?"

"Right now, you have no responsibilities on your shoulders. From today onwards, you have to live for yourself. Tell me, do you have any ideals?"

"From the bottom of your heart, what makes you so happy … Where is the most alluring dream? "

Shang Tai's eyes became a little blurry as he suddenly said faintly, "Is it a dream ….?" I really do have one, and I want to see the mysterious legends and historical remains that you have recorded down in the Journey to the West … "

"In the desert of the Nile, are there really pyramids and mysterious Pharaohs Curses? I want to go and see... In the northern part of the Ikek, is there really a painting of the Earth that you mentioned? So big that you have to ride on a hot air balloon to see it? "

"How many lost ancient countries are there in the forests of Africa, and how many remnants of two rivers of civilization are there in the lands of the Middle East!"

The more Shang Tai said, the more excited he became. "If possible, I will invest some money into Master's museum, and make his scale grow even larger. I will search for cultural relics from all over the world and send them here for future generations to see with their own eyes …"

"I want to be a adventurer! I want to become the first Chinese adventurer king! The Chinese cannot be a self-styled race, and their adventurous spirit cannot be lost! "

Pah pah pah … Xiao Letian clapped his hands, "Good, good, good … That's your dream, isn't it? Where's Zai Chun! Come out and give this present to our adventurer king! "
