"A cheaper price?" The emperor was so angry that he laughed. "Tell Jason that kid, there's nothing left. My weapon is a great weapon for the country and is priceless. If you want it, you can exchange it with their city!"
Yan Bao's eyes lit up: "Oh, right, you want a power station and a railway, and you want to exchange it for a city. Why didn't I think of that? The emperor is really wise. Long live the emperor, this is what the emperor is like!"
Yan Bao gave a thumbs up, his little face flushed with excitement, and he looked like a little sun, warm and cheerful.
Xie Zhiluo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He was a man who seldom smiled in front of the emperor, but now he smiled silently.
The emperor couldn't bear to watch.
What to do? The royal family has a love-brained prince.
Where is the ruthless imperial family?
The emperor glared at the useless Xie Zhiluo, then turned to Yan Bao and smiled dotingly: "Yan Bao is also very smart!"
Yan Bao was not modest at all: "Just average, second only to Dajin!"
The emperor was curious: "Who is the first?"
Yan Bao raised an eyebrow cutely at the emperor: "Who else besides the emperor?"
Xie Zhiluo followed suit and flattered him: "That's right, father is the best in the world."
When Prince Jason met the emperor and asked for 10,000 gold to buy the blueprints of the power station and railway, the emperor had him dragged away. His attitude said it all. It didn't look like he was willing to make a deal at this price.
The emperor doesn't even look down on ten thousand gold.
Jason immediately changed his tone: "How can His Majesty, the Emperor, agree to this? We in Great Britain also need trains and power generation. This is simply a masterpiece of God."
The emperor rolled his eyes: "What God? This is the masterpiece of the heavens of Dajin. Your God is not capable of this." The emperor said: "If you want it, one city for the power station and one city for the railway. I don't want anything else, just these two. If you are willing, we from Dajin will send people to build them. If not, you can get out!"
"Ah, I'm just a prince and can't make any decisions. I have to ask His Majesty the King for permission." Prince Jason didn't expect them to be so cruel. The two cities they were interested in were both transportation fortresses.
One is a port, and the other is a must-pass route on the Silk Road.
For Britain, its status can be imagined.
Prince Jason knew without hesitation that His Majesty the King would definitely not agree.
This was not to stay longer. Prince Jason used the method of delaying and sent someone back to Daying to report to His Majesty the King that he would stay in Dajin to find out how to learn secretly and see what was going on in the power station.
Also go to the train station to see, especially how the trains run.
The railroad tracks and other things look very simple.
Xie Zhiluo found out that Jason had recently sent people to the train station and to linger around the power station. Unlike the Dajin people, they were easily exposed and were basically driven away before they could even get close.
One of the people sent out to spy at night was run over and killed by a train.
Another one was accidentally electrocuted at a power station and was carbonized when he was found.
This resulted in a power outage in Beijing one night.
The power was out for one night, and those who used electricity were not used to it. Looking at the ghost-like lanterns, they felt that their eyes could not adapt. They still hoped to have electricity.
During the repairs on the second day, the bodies were found and it was discovered that they belonged to Prince Jason's men. No need to ask, his men stayed up late at night and went to the power station and were electrocuted. What other motives could there be?
The emperor called the man over. If Prince Jason did not honestly compensate Dajin for its losses, the King of Great Britain would have to redeem him.
Jason spent five hundred gold to settle the matter.
The Emperor patted Prince Jason on the shoulder and warned him, "Don't try to play tricks. Even if you just looked inside, you don't know the principles of power generation or train manufacturing at all."
How could Prince Jason not know?
He doesn't want to cede land.
Britain's territory is not large to begin with. If they cede two cities, wouldn't their territory be even smaller?
Jason was not in a hurry to return to Britain. He even went to Taining Island before the New Year and rode in a noble carriage, which was much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage. However, he felt a little dizzy not long after getting on the car.
Prince Jason invited Yan Bao to go to Taining Island with him, but Yan Bao refused: "I have to spend the New Year with my parents and won't be traveling far. I wish you a happy trip."
He also recommended the Seabed Fresh Restaurant and told him to try the seafood there, which was very delicious.
In addition, she used her status as a princess to book a carriage for Jason, otherwise he would not be able to book a luxury carriage on his own.
Yan Bao didn't lie, she would definitely stay in the capital during the New Year holidays.
Mrs. Shen saw that the New Year was approaching. Before, Brother Shen and his family were not in the capital, and Mrs. Shen was thinking about Brother Shen and his wife and family.
Now that Second Brother Shen and Tao Yuanyuan are not in the capital, Madam Shen is still thinking about Second Brother Shen and them, thinking about them returning to the capital to reunite together.
Second Brother Shen is now the general who pacifies bandits, and he won't return to the capital easily. Tao Yuanyuan will definitely not abandon him and go back to the capital alone to celebrate the New Year.
This year, Tao Yuanyuan's aunt and brother are also in Taining Island, so it's a good opportunity for them to get together.
After the New Year, Yan Bao will be seventeen years old.
Over the past year, Yan Bao has grown a lot taller, now he is about 1.67 meters tall.
Don't ask, the only thing you know is that she secretly drank a lot of milk, and everything she ate and drank was good stuff. In addition, Chief Minister Shen was not short, and Mrs. Shen was not short either, and her two brothers were about 1.8 meters tall.
It’s Yan Bao’s turn. When she is about 20 years old, she should be about 1.7 meters tall.
Fortunately, Xie Zhiluo was not short either. He was about 1.8 meters tall, 8 feet tall, with broad shoulders, a thin waist, and long legs. Standing next to him, Yan Bao did not look very tall.
This year's Chinese New Year was as lively as previous years. Yan Bao and his family stayed up all night, ate delicious food, and played mahjong in the evening.
