Take a nap for a while

After Li Fushou got up, he washed up under the service of the palace maids, took a few sips of fragrant tea and felt refreshed, so he came to Dongji Palace again.

Dongji Palace is an important place for daily government affairs. No one is allowed to enter if he is summoned by the emperor. Only the secret guards on shifts can serve nearby, and no other palace maids or eunuchs are allowed to enter.

Today it happened to be the Secretary-General Cai Tinggan on duty. After learning that the emperor had a break in the morning, he waited early in the passage outside the hall.

"Oh, Tinggan, so early." After Li Fushou came over, he said hello casually when he saw Cai Tinggan and continued to walk in.

"I respectfully ask Your Majesty for the Holy Majesty." After Cai Ting gave a gift, he quickly followed the emperor into the hall, watched the emperor walk to the imperial seat and sit down, picked up the fragrant tea he had just brewed and took a sip, and seemed to have no intention of dealing with the government immediately, so he went forward to ask for instructions; "Report to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Zhang Li reported; now, Marquis MacKellan, the special envoy of King George V of England, requested to meet the emperor."

"The weasel wishes the chicken a New Year's greetings~ There is no good thing, let's hang it first and then talk about it."

"I obey the order." Cai Ting gave a bow and continued to report; "Report to His Majesty, the Russian Special Envoy of Tsarist Russia, Marlovsky, arrived recently to discuss large-scale materials and military orders with the imperial government, and the Tsarist Russian royal family intends to marry the Empire and request to meet the emperor."

"No, I will sell the orders and other items for money, and I will not be on credit." Li Fushou replied impatiently. After thinking for a while, he felt that his tone was too stiff, so he held back his orders. "This matter is for the relevant court officials of the cabinet to do the matter. From the weapons seized in Oregon, he allocated 20,000 rifles and 100 cannons to Tsarist Russia from the weapons seized in Oregon. Other matters will be followed by the rules. Don't mention marriages or something. I don't need this relative."

"I obey the order." Cai Tinggan bowed and replied.

The Tsar Nicholas II was also an extremely stubborn and arrogant man. He wanted to marry his second daughter to the eldest grandson of the emperor, namely His Highness Li Zhongqi, the prince of Prince Qin Li Siyuan. Is he thinking about nothing?

His Highness Li Zhongqi is the eldest grandson of the emperor. He has a noble status and must marry a Han girl. That is a place where people can't leave any gossip. Impurity of blood means no fate with the throne. This is a major event that the royal family, which has always paid attention to etiquette and law, cannot be messed with at all.

As for why Li Sihan, the second son of the emperor, could marry the granddaughter of the King of Bavaria in Germany, the reason is easy to understand.

Because Li Sihan was born by the imperial concubine Fiona, he was born with the throne because of impure blood. Whether he married a white man as a duchess or a commoner as a duchess, there were actually no major obstacles, as long as he did not slander the royal family.

in this regard

Li Fushou was very generous. Compared with the royal families in Europe that could not accept the polluted noble bloodline of civilians, the royal family of the Ocean Empire should be much more enlightened and uphold the attitude of equality of all living beings. The nobles only gave the glory of the empire to the established meritorious families, which does not mean that the bloodline is superior to others.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Sihan, can also marry a white woman, which means that he voluntarily gives up the qualification to inherit the throne. Anyway, there are not many other royal families, and they will catch a lot of descendants of the royal family.

There are 15 princes born to Li Fushou, the youngest is Li Sibo, the fifteenth son of the favorite concubine Lu Yan'er. He is just two years old this year, and he is the age of learning to speak, 11 years younger than his grandson Li Zhongqi.

Why did Russian Tsar Nicholas II suddenly remember to marry?

Of course, the Ocean Empire was rich, guns and strength. Under the urging of allies such as Britain and France, Tsarist Russia rushed to transport more than 2 million troops to the Eastern Front battlefield. One-third of these soldiers were not equipped with rifles, and they also used cold weapons such as long swords and tomahawks.

Moreover, the logistics supply of the Russian army was extremely poor. Officials at all levels were corrupt to the point of being crazy. The black bread supplied to the frontline soldiers was mixed with wood chips and leaves, and this was not enough to eat.

How could such an army satisfy the ardent ambitions of Tsar Nicholas II?

So I put my mind on the Ocean Empire. If the two countries can marry, a large amount of materials and weapons can be continuously transported to Russia, supporting Tsar Nicholas II to conquer the European war.

For the sake of Russia's interests, marriage became the most realistic choice.

Li Fushou obviously didn't want to be a sucker, and he didn't want to catch up with this unlucky relative, so he used 20,000 rifles to kill him, and was not interested in paying attention to him again.

When Nicholas II was in Fusang Kingdom when he was young, he was chopped on the head by Fusang Langren. From then on, he was so disgusted with Fusang people that he kept thinking about revenge.

The Russo-Japanese War that broke out 10 years ago was hard to guarantee that there would be no such factors, but unfortunately it was defeated.

After the emperor gave instructions, Cai Tinggan recorded it in the notebook. After a while, the Secretariat forwarded the emperor's will, which was handled by the cabinet.

Li Fushou picked up the documents on the imperial case and looked at them. Seeing Cai Tinggan still standing there, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

“Report to Your Majesty;

After the outbreak of the war, Britain, France and other countries, due to the sharp increase in demand for materials, there was a large gap in government funds, so they wanted to seek large-scale export loans. The number of this period was as high as 800 million Jinyang. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to be good at it. They hereby report to ask the Holy Tribunal for the request."

"Oh, I have no money." Li Fushou said as he lay back comfortably on the chair, gently tapping the imperial seat in the red sandalwood texture with his slender fingers, thinking for a while, and saying;

"Britain and France are both old colonial powers with a deep foundation, so there is no need to worry that they can't pay back the account. The loan can be borrowed, but the interest rate is higher. Let them negotiate for details.

For the need to avoid risks

Loans between Britain and France must be collateralized, such as the Land Gold Mine in South Africa, or the territorial rights of other colonies, islands in the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, etc.

The most important point

That is, the Jinyang loan we issue requires the payment of principal and interest. This is the bottom line. For goods exported by Jinyang loans, the settlement currency must be made of reputable Jinyang, and no other currency can be used, and the British pound cannot be used.

If there are any similar situations in the future, you will be handled accordingly without asking for instructions separately.

In addition, a medical team of thousands of people was organized to go to Europe to rescue the injured and convey the empire's friendly attitude of kindness.

Although we cannot directly send troops to help fight, we can still play a role in the field of humanitarianism and indirectly help the Allies so that they can't find any fault."

"Your Majesty, is it the Allies' sect?"

"Well... send two medical teams with a size of more than 100 people. After all, you still have to do business and just be able to live a good life with great face."

"I understand, I will draft an order immediately."

After receiving the order, Cai Tinggan stepped down and went to the Secretariat's duty station not far from the Dongji Palace, where he drafted the decree to be transferred to the cabinet departments and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for implementation.

Due to the outbreak of large-scale wars in Europe, various affairs suddenly became more common. Li Fushou was more diligent than usual and spent a lot more time dealing with government affairs in Dongji Temple.

Usually it was only half a day in the morning, five days a week, and the remaining two days of rest were rest.

Now I spend all day here, meeting with court officials, convening imperial meetings to discuss the current situation, meeting with foreign envoys, handling important matters of international and domestic relations, and controlling the empire's ship to move forward smoothly.

Li Fushou picked up the latest battle report on the European battlefield and flipped it out briefly. He picked up a few strokes and criticized the word "read", and then put it aside and stopped caring.

The major matters related to the life and death of the great powers of European countries, in his opinion, are nothing to do with him and to hold on. How many troops lost and how many people died is all about Europeans, and they have nothing to do with the Ocean Empire.

If you want to fight, just fight! Anyway, you can't tell the winner in a short time.

He held a report from Panama in his hand and studied it carefully.

Panama itself is a small Central American country, and its main city is Panama City. It was harmed by a local thug government for four or five years. It is really a waste of life.

The indigenous population is less than 130,000 now, and the Chinese population is more than 50,000. It is time to close the network.

Chinese residents mainly live in the canal area under the jurisdiction of the Panama Canal Company. This is the country that belongs to the Panama Canal Company. They are responsible for the daily operation of the canal, the two-yang re-export trading company, the cargo transportation and warehousing company, the daily commodities and rice factories, oil factories, cement factories and other enterprises, and live a wealthy life.

Due to the difficulties in life, indigenous residents are unable to sustain themselves. They often cross the line and enter the canal area under the darkness of the night to commit vicious cases of stealing, robbery and even killing, which has become a headache.

Therefore, it is imperative to plow the yard and sweep the acupoints.

After Li Fushou carefully studied this report, he recognized a series of measures in the report, including judicial actions in the name of "joint public security law enforcement", and set up some idle gangsters and street gangsters in Panama to lock up concentration camps.

Instigating a coup, sending all the current governments who have committed many evil deeds and corrupt bureaucrats to prisons, establishing a temporary unity government in Panama, and then holding a referendum to voluntarily join the Ocean Empire and become Panama.

After doing this for a few strokes, there were not many local native men.

The remaining young indigenous men were all recruited into the army, and only two divisions were organized to form, and they were sent to the European battlefield as cannon fodder, and they basically survived together.

With the current size of the Ocean Empire, to solve this small area, it is really a matter of pinching the snail with three fingers~ It’s stable.

Li Fushou looked at the report and presented it to the person, Director of the North American Affairs Supervision Committee of the Imperial Colonial Department ~ Duan Changjiang, and could not help but nodded.

He knew this person, he was the Crown Prince Duan Qixiang, a very capable young and middle-aged official.

He was never stingy to give such a minister who was well versed in Li Fushou's style of conduct, so Li Fushou picked up a pen and gave instructions on the report;

Yes, it is handed over to the reporter for supervision.
Chapter completed!
