"Uh... Her Majesty the Queen hopes that you will not publicize this matter, otherwise it will greatly affect our reputation in the world." Valova said timidly.
"So I am a mute eating Coptis chinensis, so I can't tell you the pain!" Xiao Chen was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Valova nodded, "Please give Her Majesty the Queen some time, she will definitely solve this problem."
"But didn't you go to Yanyun County to see Mr. Chen before you came? What did he say?" the fat man asked.
"Uh... we didn't talk about it with him." Valova whispered, "We were just afraid that he would get angry."
"Aren't you afraid that I will get angry!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Please lower your voice, be a gentleman in front of the lady, and don't scare Valova...Besides, there is no need for you to get angry, just send troops!" The fat man is actually angrier than Xiao Chen, that's all. That’s so cool!
That's you Valova. If it were someone else, do you think I would slap him?
"But just now Xiao Chen promised our Majesty the Queen that he would never attack us." Valova said hurriedly.
"Sigh... I knew you, Xiao Chen, would fall into someone else's beauty trap one day!" The fat man was worried to death.
"If you fall into the trap, you will fall into the trap. Otherwise, what should you do?" Xiao Chen sighed, "You can't get angry, you can't send troops, you can't get mad, you can only be stupid!"
"If Xiao Chen is stupid, you will get rich!" said the fat man.
"Actually, it has slightly eased our financial pressure, but it has not made us rich. We still need a lot of gold and silver." Seeing Xiao Chen and Fatty glaring at her together, they hurriedly waved their hands, "I don't mean to ask You want it!"
"Hmph, you want it, but I won't give it to you!" Xiao Chen said.
"You want to give it, but we can't take it." Valova said leisurely.
"But we can sell it. We are here to sell it..." Angelina said.
"What are you selling?" Xiao Chen and Fatty said in unison.
"Sell arms." Angelina said.
"Sell the land." Valova said.
Selling armaments is understandable, because the muskets and artillery in Russia are quite good, and even the old-fashioned weapons that have been eliminated are better than the firearms made by Zhou himself.
These armaments are just scrap metal, so it is better to sell them for money. Of course, this must be done under the premise of formally signing an agreement and establishing an alliance with Dazhou.
But what the hell is selling land?
Aren't you, Angelina, very obsessed with land? You just said you would launch a war to regain the lost land, and now you want to sell it. Where do you want to sell it?
"Alaska." Valova said, "We plan to sell Alaska to Dazhou. That is a large piece of land."
"It's bigger than your Yanyun County." Angelina said.
"Why are you selling it?" Xiao Chen was very surprised.
"We have too much land," Angelina said. "Alaska is overseas and is located too far north. It is cold all year round and cannot grow a large amount of food. Our domestic residents are also unwilling to go there. Where…and we don’t currently have the ability to develop it.”
"Even the ports there will freeze in winter and cannot be used. Even stationing troops is very difficult because supplies are a big problem." Valova said, "In your Chinese terms, it is useless and tasteless. , it’s a pity to abandon it.”
"The main reason is that Alaska is too big, and it borders America to the east. If the Americans invade, we won't be able to fully defend it. Instead of doing this, we might as well sell it to the Great Zhou, if we can conclude an alliance. "Angelina said.
Of course Xiao Chen knows about Alaska, isn’t it Alaska?
Angelina is right, the land area of Alaska is much larger than that of Yanyun County!
Although the land is barren and it is impossible to cultivate food on a large scale, it is extremely rich in mineral resources, with large amounts of zinc, lead, silver, gold, coal... Gold alone has reserves of millions of tons, tons!
Historically, this land once belonged to the Russian Empire. They also disliked the desolation and barrenness here, and were unable to carry out large-scale development. They were also afraid of being attacked and occupied by the English, so they decided to sell cabbage for $7 million. Sold to the Americans, who were in a state of hostility with the British at the time.
Let Lao America take a huge advantage.
Now Angelina wants to sell it to Da Zhou because of the same troubles. History has surprisingly repeated itself, but the time is a little off... by a few hundred years.
"Then how much money do you plan to sell it for?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I think it's at least a thousand..." Angelina was interrupted by Valova before she could finish her words.
"At least fifteen million taels of silver!" Valova said, "You know, that's a very big land."
In fact, at the meeting before they came, the price was agreed to be ten million taels of silver, and there was still room for discussion.
As the Minister of the Interior, Valova was well versed in negotiations and knew how to ask for a high price and pay the money on the spot. She was afraid that Angelina would tell her the lowest price directly, so she hurriedly intervened and raised the price by five million taels.
They thought it was an exorbitant price, but in Xiao Chen's opinion, it was simply not too cheap!
More than ten million taels of silver can buy more than one million square kilometers of land. You can calculate this amount with your toes! "Xiao Chen, do you think Emperor Zhou would pay so much money to buy it?" Angelina said.
"I think he will definitely consider it." Xiao Chenxin said that there is no need to consider this?
If I were Li Wanjiang, I wouldn’t even bring a counteroffer!
If he doesn't buy it, some people will. For example, my elder brother Shenzhao Emperor, if he knows about this, he will buy it even if he sells iron and kills people!
Of course Angelina will never sell it to him...
"The Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really prosperous. It's much bigger than our Saint Ann Arbor." Valova changed the topic, "It's not easy to come here. You must have a good stroll. Brother Fatty, you will accompany me." Is it mine?"
"It's okay if I don't accompany you." The fat man smiled bitterly, "You know, we brothers are here to accompany you according to the emperor's order."
Which escort did you say? Of course we eat, play and go shopping together... What do you think it is?
"By the way, Brother Fatty, I heard them say that there is a ghost market outside Fengyang City. Ghosts are doing business in it, and they sell ghost things. Is this the case?" Valova said, a little petty when talking about this matter. Scared, a little excited, mostly very curious.
"A ghost market?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You're talking about the West City Ghost Market, right?" "Yes, that's right, it's a ghost market, isn't it a ghost market?" Valova asked hurriedly.
"Oh, there are indeed many ghost markets there. There are beggar ghosts, stingy ghosts, miserly ghosts, big-headed ghosts, small-headed ghosts... In short, there are many ghosts. Most strangers dare not go there, but if Vallo If you want to go, baby, I will risk my life to accompany you!" The fat man is so generous.
