"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

"Oh, you are an emperor. Can you not smile like this? It's embarrassing!"

"Yes, Clint, how can you do this?"

"Clint, can you stop laughing? I'm scared by you. ∷,"

"I don't want to laugh, but I really can't help it!"

In the harem of the San Francisco emperor, it was naturally a happy little day for the emperor's third wife. But now, Emperor Clint Lee I, if he had nothing to do, he would laugh there stupidly, and even say that he would laugh in his dreams.

It’s hard to stand it if you come here anytime, anywhere!

As for why I laugh, this is too simple...

Three tons of aluminum were replaced in Alaska!

I just used three tons of aluminum and bought Alaska, anyone... Well, I'm afraid only time travelers can understand the funny point here, because the price difference is simply too much!

Li Mengyang knew that those who play antiques in later generations were all concerned about picking up bargains, but this time, the leak he picked up was definitely an invincible super big leak in the world!

Can Li Mengyang not know about aluminum?

The things that were terrible in later generations are now viewed as the birth of electrolytic aluminum technology. The aluminum production process in the Empire is now very good, with the cost constantly decreasing, which is a bit more pollution, but this is nothing, compared with the Alaska you are about to get.

It is definitely a stroke of magic to exchange aluminum for such a large piece of land!

Li Mengyang really couldn't help laughing, really couldn't help it.

"Little Guaiguai, look at your stupid father. We won't learn from him in the future." Huang Rong really looked down on her husband. She smiled too cautiously. She just started playing with the child.

"Yes, Xiao Zhenhua, when you grow up, you must study etiquette well, be a gentle man, don't be like your father." Fiona over there also came to tease the child.

"Hey, Clint, I can't help you this time. Your laughter is so magical. It affects my sleep with the child!" Ilena couldn't stand it anymore.

The name Li Mengyang gave his son Zhenhua, Li Zhenhua...

It should be said that the harem is still very harmonious now, with a family of five... Oh, the other two are also quite young, and I'm afraid they will be getting a child soon.

However, seeing that the harem is powerful, I am afraid that the emperor will want that, this...

"Okay, okay, my wives. I'll go out and laugh..." The emperor Li Mengyang, hey~

Men in later generations are mostly afraid of their inner self, or love their wife, especially Chinese men. This is the same with Li Mengyang. This is not afraid of their inner self, absolutely not, this is all love, love!

Well, he won't admit it.

But just talking about this, Li Mengyang really couldn't help laughing. There were so many good things.

The London Peace Conference has ended and the Empire's mission has returned. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the news brought by Strauss. It's already OK to sell Alaska in the Russian Empire. Everyone has money and goods, so it's clear.

Three tons of aluminum are exchanged for a large piece of land, this is a matter... Li Mengyang doesn't have to laugh.

There is also the issue of business. This issue is naturally involved in national feelings. This is normal. Most of the Chinese under Li Mengyang's rule at this time were anti-Qing, and they did not agree with the kind of people who were bullied by Western powers and were forced to do business with them.

But to be honest, doing business... the Qing Dynasty was indeed robbed, but if everyone could be equal and mutually beneficial, doing business in this way would be of obvious benefit.

The emperor Li Mengyang has a relatively high angle. What he sees is relatively macro and different from ordinary people, because from the perspective of a country, our American Empire is still different from the Qing Dynasty. We have never fought with Russia, and we still won the war with the British.

So, this business can be done completely. Why not do things that are beneficial to the country and the people?

But Li Mengyang also understands that his public opinion foundation is born with nationalism!

There is nothing to say about the white people in the empire, but if the Chinese with a large base are not at all nationalism in their hearts, can they come to your American Empire?

Therefore, doing business with Russia is very troublesome.

"That location is really too sensitive..." Li Mengyang had to consider this matter. "Will Alexander II lower his head slightly? It's impossible!"

To be honest, Li Mengyang is not a naive child. He is very sure that the Russian emperor cannot be like the Queen Victoria. There are problems in the UK now and there is an economic crisis. But although Russia is also poor, would they be able to sell Alaska?

However, Russia is completely different, the Russians have a hard neck!

In this way, business with Russia should be very difficult now, but it has started. It may not have been at all before... Besides, Alaska has cheated itself, hahahaha...

The emperor has indeed laughed too much recently, and there are many particularly good things.

The Mexican matter has come to an end, and the dispute over sovereignty can be temporarily put aside. Didn’t it vote at the London and the conference? In addition, that’s the matter with the Panama Canal, which is normal. It’s better for the British to get involved than the Americans to get involved.

These are all things to be happy about, and there is also business!

Yes, it’s still about trading, but this time it’s the UK who trades.

The whole world is blocking the new American empire. If we can trade with Britain and the current world superpower, the blockade of the whole world will naturally no longer exist. Therefore, this matter is of great significance.

And this trade is actually imperative, because as long as the Panama Canal is opened and the British want to use this canal, how could they not trade with the Empire?

Of course, Li Mengyang could see that these are some methods. The British might have thought about it a long time ago. But the specific implementation is about tax issues.

The British are very smart. How long have they been doing business internationally? They are definitely at the level of teachers in this regard. Li Mengyang is not stupid either. Anyway, he cannot hand over the tariffs to someone like the Qing Dynasty... Well, no one is using it now. Li Mengyang is going to hand over this matter to Strauss to deal with it. He is to let him serve as the director of the customs.

But Strauss is not considered a foreigner, it really doesn't count... The national plot is at work... Speaking of the tax rate, Li Mengyang is preparing to implement an average tax rate of 20%!

The 20% level is considered low compared to the United States of America, which means it is competitive. To put it bluntly, Li Mengyang wants to grab the business between the United Kingdom and the United States, but there are also dangers here!

The British industrial system is very perfect, and in this era, Britain controls the highest level of industrial technology, which Li Mengyang admits. However, our American empire also has opportunities.

This opportunity lies in the internal combustion engine and in the power industry!

That’s right, a large part of the factor in Li Mengyang’s vigorous layout of these two industries before was to prepare for the future.

Also, don’t forget that there are emerging oil industry, stockings industry, and medicine... Anyway, in the future, Li Mengyang really fights business with the British, and Li Mengyang feels that there is no chance in the empire.

In the near future, Li Mengyang will fight against the most powerful business empire in the world today. This matter, hehehe, I am very excited to think about it!

It can be said that a London Peace Conference brought many opportunities to the Empire, and at the same time it also brought some changes to the situation in the entire world. The Empire will have the opportunity to truly participate in the market system of the world. It is hard to say what the future will be, whether to win or lose, but...

Even though there are thousands of people, I will go!

Of course, it is not all good news. For example, there was no good intention between the Empire and the United States of America. Everyone was still hostile. What you talk about, what I talk about is just a chicken and a duck. However, there is also a railway plan among them, but it has to wait for the US Congress to discuss. Although in Li Mengyang's opinion, the result should be that this railway will be built. Li Mengyang thought that we could start construction first...

Of course there is no good news with France. I originally said that everyone can talk about business, but the French are very arrogant, hey~

However, there is another thing that attracted Li Mengyang's attention, that is, the matter between France and the Qing Dynasty.

When the French army arrived in Vietnam, they threatened the Qing court, but at the London Peace Conference, the French wanted Taiwan!

As soon as he heard about Taiwan, Li Mengyang naturally thought of the later Treaty of Shimonoseki. But in fact, the relationship between France and the Qing Dynasty made Li Mengyang think of the Sino-French War.

But you have to know that this is something that happened more than 20 years later, but now that happens. Could it be that I, a time traveler, have caused a butterfly effect to the entire history?

I'm afraid that's all this explanation, but Taiwan...

After learning the news, Li Mengyang quickly found someone to learn about the current situation in Taiwan, because in his mind, Taiwan's history during this period was very little, and many of the original historical records began when Liu Mingchuan took office in Taiwan after the Sino-French War.

Logically speaking, if you want to understand Taiwan, you will have to wait for at least half a year. There is no way to do this in this year. You can’t go by boat or come back by boat. But it’s surprising that Emperor Li Mengyang got the first information in just over a month!

Why is this?

This information comes from the United States of America!

After reading the information, you can understand that it turned out that the Americans were the ones who were bad at Taiwan at the beginning!

The first one is the American Perry, the guy who opened the Japanese portal. He actually wanted to occupy Taiwan. The second one is Harris, who wanted to buy Taiwan... Anyway, the method is endless.

They all saw one thing, that is, Taiwan is actually very rich now!

Li Mengyang really doesn’t know about this history, but now when he looks at it, it seems that no one is stupid. He knows how to choose a good place to ask for!

So, Li Mengyang, a time traveler, wanted to know whether the Qing Dynasty could defend Taiwan? Can the French achieve their goals? (To be continued...)
