At this time, the other side of Europe.
After receiving Liu Zheng's order, Li Hongtian disguised himself as a businessman from Long Yan.
Head to Vienna, the capital of Austria, to negotiate with Victor.
In order to get an audience with General Victor.
Under Liu Zheng's instruction, Li Hongtian successfully became a businessman and envoy from Longyan, negotiating with Austria on behalf of Longyan.
This is nothing to Li Hongtian, he was originally the Minister of Household Affairs.
Now it is not that difficult for him to work part-time as a diplomatic envoy.
However, Li Hongtian said quietly: "I have to break my old bones!"
However, after Li Hongtian finished complaining, he still went to Austria.
As a diplomatic envoy and businessman, Li Hongtian represented the country's face when he went out, and he had already informed Austria of his request to go as an envoy.
Austria is now a hostile country to Long Yan.
The Austrian court and China are still very upset about Long Yan's invasion of their ports.
At the same time, he also cursed the dead Duke of Lorraine, a bastard.
Even the Lorraine family was scolded.
Regarding this matter regarding the territorial integrity of the country, the entire Austrian people were full of hostility towards Long Yan and the Lorraine family.
But Li Hongtian didn't take it to heart.
The fact that Long Yan was able to capture the port city in Austria was all due to the abilities of the Long Yan people themselves and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Moreover, many of Austria's key supplies are now transported by Long Yan, especially since Long Yan is still Austria's largest creditor.
Although Liu Zheng did not say it, it has been confirmed through various sources that the 500,000 shi of grain was lent to the Austrians by Liu Zheng.
As for the purpose...
"That bastard actually took half a million shi of food to pick up girls!" Li Hongtian cursed when no one was around.
However, despite the scolding, Li Hongtian did not mean to blame Liu Zheng.
In the past few years of development, Liu Zheng has led the Liangzhou Laboratory to reform the cultivation of crops. Both cotton production and grain production have been greatly improved.
These five hundred thousand stones of grain are all grains stored in Long Yan's warehouse that are almost moldy.
You don't need it usually, so you can give it as a gift as a personal touch.
Because of Liu Zheng, Long Yan is now Austria's largest creditor.
Faced with Li Hongtian's request for a visit, Victor didn't even think twice.
After he knew about Teresa, coupled with Leonardo's report in Prague.
Victor already knew where the disaster relief food came from, and his heart was extremely complicated and tangled.
After all, their relationship with Long Yan is not good now.
But when I thought about the large amount of food that Long Yan brought out, it helped them stabilize the people's sentiments on the border.
The refugee crisis in Prague did not affect the whole of Austria.
This made Victor grateful.
However, Victor knew better that Li Hongtian, the diplomatic envoy, would definitely have to settle accounts with Austria when he arrived.
Five hundred thousand shi of food account!
This debt is not so easy to repay.
However, Li Hongtian is now at the Austrian port. Even if he refuses, there are still countless Longyan soldiers at the port.
Those Long Yanjun are not jealous.
They have already experienced the power of the Longyan Army, and they don't want to experience it a second time now.
He also knew that if he really received the Long Yan envoy, the domestic opposition to Long Yan would rise again.
Regarding territorial issues, that is a matter of not giving in!
Damn Duke of Lorraine, he died and left such a big hole for me!
Thinking of this, Victor could only bite the bullet and agree to Li Hongtian's request for a visit.
It didn't take long before Li Hongtian wore Long Yan's official uniform and formally visited General Victor.
Although Victor didn't want to see this envoy from Longyan at all, he could only see him now.
Finally, in the early morning this morning, Victor's carriage arrived in Vienna with the bright sunshine.
Victor personally led Austria's top officials to receive the envoy from Long Yan.
Li Hongtian got off the carriage and looked at the Austrian envoy who received him outside, saluting him.
Li Hongtian returned the gift slightly.
Austria is now one of the major powers in Europe, and the credit for being able to make their ministers so respectful is entirely due to Long Yan's chief assistant, Liu Zheng!
Victor looked at an old man who got off the carriage, wearing Long Yan's official uniform.
He solemnly welcomed: "Dear Ambassador Long Yan, Mr. Li Hongtian, your visit has made Vienna shine again."
Li Hongtian looked at this stooped old man and thought of Austrian officials.
"Thank you for the welcome, General Victor. I am very sorry for my unexpected visit."
Victor smiled softly and said, "You are surprised."
Li Hongtian, led by Victor, came to the palace in Vienna.
Li Hongtian saw this magnificent palace building with a unique style. Although it was not as majestic as Long Yan, it had a different kind of beauty.
Seeing the undressed sculptures erected in Victoria Square, Li Hongtian's eyes twitched under his pedantic thoughts.
Look at General Victor who was very polite just now.
Seeing those sculptures again, it's hard to understand why the people here look so polite, but the sculptures are so... unsightly!
Noticing the change in Li Hongtian's expression, General Victor smiled and said, "Mr. Li Hongtian, don't you Long Yan have such a work of art?"
Li Hongtian raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "artwork".
Such things can still be called works of art. He is now very suspicious of the aesthetics of these Europeans.
In his opinion, such things were like those ancient Long Yan houses filled with vulgar gadgets.
It's just for those losers who listen to music on the hook.
This thing can also be called a work of art!
"Um... I'm sorry for my blindness, but I can't appreciate it."
Victor took a look, and Li Hongtian, who had already looked away, thought to himself that Long Yanren was so developed.
So many interesting things can be made.
Even the porcelain they used, with the dragon flame patterns painted on it, was very beautiful.
Victor has always believed that Longyan is a country full of art.
After all, there was Liu Zheng before him, who surprised everyone by singing "A Laugh in the Sea" in a Vienna cafe.
This piece of music is still regarded as an unsurpassable masterpiece by other artists in Vienna, something they can only dream of in their lifetime.
The diplomatic envoy from such a country cannot understand art sculptures.
It's really puzzling.
General Victor patiently explained: "The content on the sculpture is the God of Beauty, what we think of the God of Beauty."
"In order to fully reveal her beauty, our artists carved it like this."
