2171 Test each other

"God! Are you not satisfied with such an army?" Prince Edward could not calm down. Any country in Europe who owns such an army will be regarded as a weapon of a country and will become a sword in the hands of the king.

But it seems that in Xiao Letian's heart, these soldiers' outstanding performance today was just a passing grade, and the soldiers did not complain at all, as if they really didn't do well and really needed progress.

The eight armies were scattered but not chaotic. Each unit formed small groups with class as the core. Under the command of grassroots officers, the soldiers carried the traditional Chinese medicine herbal tea that Huang Xie Doctor had cooked long ago, and handed over wooden spoons back and forth in the hands of the soldiers.

The herbal tea secretly made by Huang Xie Doctor is a powerful tool for cooling and cooling. Not only are there various Chinese medicines here, but he also creatively added lemon juice commonly used by Westerners, and added salt and white sugar.

The ice cubes taken from the imperial kitchen of Buckingham Palace were put into herbal tea. After a spoonful of the soldiers, all the heat of the soldiers disappeared.

Xiao Letian did not formally answer the prince's question, but waved his hands to the soldiers around him. Soon, two marching kettles were delivered with two large pots of herbal tea.

"Prince, try the mysterious summer drinks from the East! This doesn't require tea!"

Edward held the military kettle and looked around. There was a cold air rising up the mouth of the pot. He carefully tasted it, and a smell of Chinese herbal medicine was squirting straight into his nostrils.

"My God, what is this thing? It's so weird!" Prince Edward wanted to vomit after saying that.

"Don't vomit, swallow it, you will definitely feel different..." Xiao Letian quickly persuaded.

Xiao Letian really think about letting Europeans drink Chinese medicine. The prince didn't want to be rude and could only forcefully swallow this strange herbal tea, but his face changed as soon as the herbal tea was intestinal.

It was cold, sweet and sour, and a little salt. Although the taste was strange, the whole person's internal organs became cold after it was put into the mouth.

The feeling was as if the crater that was about to erupt was suddenly pressed against billions of tons of ice and snow. The cool and transparent feeling made his dizzy mind suddenly wake up, and his impatient mood calmed down.

"What is this...Is this your secret recipe to avoid heatstroke?" the prince asked anxiously.

Europeans have a very different diet from orientals. They like to eat meat more. High-calorie foods are prone to make people feel hot, let alone hot summers.

The prince knew that every summer, there were a large number of cases of heatstroke in the British army, especially those colonial garrisons near the equator, who suffered from heatstroke.

Today, when he drank the mysterious oriental herbal tea, a bold idea emerged in his mind.

Xiao Letian seemed to have guessed the prince's thoughts, "I just saw many soldiers of the Imperial Guards fainted from heatstroke. You can ask them to send someone to get some decoctions for reducing heat. I am very happy to share with you!"

Prince Edward Gudong Gudong drank half a pot of herbal tea, and he felt so heartbroken. He said comfortably, "First of the People's Republic of China, it seems that I need to choose a time to visit the following Asia. It's so amazing!"

"Do you sell this recipe for mysterious decoction? I am willing to buy it at a high price..."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed and patted the prince's shoulder. "Dear Prince, I can't sell the milk-producing cows to make money, right?"

"The old rules, you and I will do this business together, and it is easy to negotiate shares... Isn't it good to let us make some long-lasting money? If this must-have decoction in summer is promoted in your army, it will definitely solve your big problem!"

Prince Edward looked at Xiao Letian and suddenly felt that this Chinese was really individual. Although it was very merciful, it was very easy to get close to.

He did not have the hypocritical face of the Qing officials at all. Westerners actually like to deal with real villains instead of doing business with hypocrites.

A real villain will be very competing with you, but all the rules are on the surface. If you accept it, cooperate or not, then go your separate ways.

Villains will not be ashamed of making profits, they will bargain with you mercilessly, but as long as the balance between the two parties is found, the subsequent cooperation will be easier.

The previous conflict caused all conflicts to erupt in advance, so that the result was acceptable to both parties. Since they could accept them, they would naturally avoid the trouble of intrigue afterwards.

From this point of view, Xiao Letian himself is not a scholar or bureaucrat, and his essence is actually a businessman.

Edward was secretly happy. He felt that he had touched Xiao Letian's background and said with a smile, "It's like working with Duke Newxle?"

Xiao Letian knew that the mysterious voice of the fresh source would not escape the eyes of the royal family. Duke Newxle must have reported to the queen, and the prince would definitely invest and get a share of the pie in the future.

The British royal family is very smart. Their source of income has long been free from the old routine of relying on national taxation in the Middle Ages.

In fact, even if the British royal family does not collect any national funding, they can still maintain a luxurious palace life by relying on their various royal investments and their complex shareholding structure.

Only such a royal family can truly get rid of the medieval curse of seizing profits from the people, which is a very smart thing for Britain.

Xiao Letian and the prince walked side by side back to the South Garden along the way and said frankly, "After all, I am not a king, I am just a prime minister, and I also have a term of office!"

"Maybe as the founder of the Chinese nation, I received love from the public, so my term of office was longer, but I have no intention of becoming king and ascending the throne, and my children will not ascend the throne!"

"I come from the people, and naturally I will return to the people in the future! So for my future life, I must do some business!"

"In this world, even the royal family of the Empire of Sun-Don't Settling needs to make some pocket money by themselves, let alone me! So please forgive me for my little greed!"

"Haha... you really made me look at you with admiration. I really can't describe how I feel about you! You really don't look like a Chinese!"

"China is too big. It is not just the small group of people in the court that can represent China. You really should go and see China with your own eyes and learn about the ancient civilization with a long history!"

The two of them are humble and flatter each other, and are also testing each other. If you want to know each other's bottom line, the first thing you have to do is to understand each other's personality first.
