While Tan Zhonglin and the others were waiting for Yuan Shikai's sister Yuan Weiting, Lin Youde was also waiting for his guests.
The area around Longyuan Pavilion, after two years of development, has become the most prosperous area in Guangzhou - one of its kind. It has various entertainment facilities including the best nightclubs and casinos in the world.
The city is bustling with people at night, and all the dandies in Guangzhou gather here to spend a lot of money. There is the only warehouse-style self-selection supermarket in Guangzhou. Everything you want to buy can be bought here at reasonable prices. There are more than two dozen
At the headquarters of ten foreign companies, the "Talent Market" set up by Lin Youde changes the recruitment market signs every half an hour. People who come to Guangzhou to make a living from all over Guangdong and even other provinces crowd around in the large square of the Talent Market.
.The headquarters of Nanyang Bank has also been set up here. Every day, businessmen and small industrialists who want to go gold mining in the Philippines line up in front of the bank to exchange Nanyang tickets.
In addition, the houses chosen by the landowners in Hailufeng, Meizhou, Qingyuan and other places who mortgaged their land to Lin Ji and then came to Guangzhou to do business as shopkeepers were also near Longyuan Pavilion.
The gun team regularly patrols and is on duty. The public security near Longyuan Pavilion is extremely good, and all the three religions and nine schools such as Qingpi have basically disappeared.
Lin Youde also carried out extensive construction work near Longyuan Pavilion. He dug the branch of the river that extended into his control area so deep that it could carry flat-bottomed boats, and then built a special dock not far from Longyuan Pavilion, so that in the future he would
The steamer can connect with the small boats on the Pearl River and directly deliver goods or guests to your own power protection zone, eliminating many unnecessary risks.
Lin Youde stood on the small pier, looking at the Lin Ji flag flying above his head, his excitement was palpable.
At the end of August, the more than eight-month siege of Kashima Taisha finally ended. The current Japanese military government finally failed to make up its mind to level the Taisha, and the Taisha was not willing to use precious Kamimei and the Japanese military government.
Let's fight to the death to declare our ambition to the world.
The two sides finally reached an agreement. All high-ranking shrines in the Grand Shrine, including the shrine lord, who did not agree with the militaristic policy were exiled overseas and "will never return to Yamato."
The personal safety of the gods and goddesses will be ignored, and their actions of resisting the government will be forgotten.
This agreement was reached under the supervision of major corporations in other places. The Japanese military government had already poisoned the former Emperor, so it did not dare to make any small moves in this matter, lest it completely break trust with major corporations. You must know that even if
Shrines such as Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara that support militarization are also very dissatisfied with the fact that the military government poisoned the emperor. However, they are even more dissatisfied with the emperor who advocates uniting with China to fight against the Western European powers, so they turn a blind eye.
One eye.
In short, the siege of Kashima Taisha Shrine ended like this. A total of six high-level shrine maidens, including the priest, boarded a U.S. Navy cruiser the day after the siege was lifted. Their destination was Guangzhou City, where Lin Youde was located.
Lin Youde is now welcoming these high-level Shenjis. How could he not be excited? This is the power of Shenji that he can blatantly retain in Guangzhou. In this way, even if the new Shenji Battalion Commander arrives, she will not dare to confront her.
Lin Youde acted rashly. The high-level shrine maidens who were exiled by Japan are still high-level shrine maidens, and their identity will not change. Once they make any mistakes, Japan will have an excuse to put pressure on the Qing court or even launch a war. Qing court officials only need to
If you still have brains, you will never let this happen.
More importantly, the goddess also has a "appearance". According to the purity of the bloodline and the tendency of the ability, the value of the goddess will be different. Although people do not distinguish between high and low, these girls with the blood of the goddess have been since their birth.
People have been distinguished by their bloodline, a fact that even those Enlightenment thinkers in the West who advocated the equality of all people with natural human rights could not ignore.
Some people even think that the existence of Shenji is to make people understand that everything in the world is unequal: a girl with Shenji blood is destined to have a better life than ordinary girls in the future no matter what when she is born. Girls with high-purity blood
They are destined to be nobler than those girls with poor blood quality. Therefore, God does not give everything equally to all people.
Lin Youde was noncommittal about this. He was a pragmatist through and through. A black cat or a white cat was a good cat if it could catch mice. Shen Ji's bloodline and appearance were different, so he accepted this fact and then took advantage of it. As for
What significance these facts have is none of his business.
Therefore, the important thing is the fact that the goddess has good looks. In Lin Youde's camp, Ba and Nie Xueqiu are both first-class fighting goddesses. Katarina is proficient in alchemy. Although she is not useful in combat, she is useful in other places.
But she can play a great role, and she is a first-rate non-combat goddess. Below these three people, they are all second-rate goddesses.
In this world, since the Tang Dynasty when An Lushan used men to conquer the leaders of the goddesses stationed in the feudal towns and launched a rebellion to harm the Central Plains, the Central Plains dynasty tended to concentrate the powerful goddesses in the capital, and only a small number of expatriates were sent to serve as local leaders or local leaders.
At the core of national defense, these expatriates will be closely monitored in various ways.
The Qing Dynasty was no exception, and the situation became more serious after entering modern times. Before the Opium War, Guangzhou, as a port for trade, had a stronger Shenji camp than other places. As a result, it fought hard against the British army during the Opium War.
It was so tragic that almost all the powerful goddesses died for the country. Later, during the Taiping Rebellion, local powerful goddesses defected. The Qing court became increasingly cautious about the deployment of powerful goddesses, so much so that there were no more powerful goddesses under the command of the various local goddess camps.
Powerful goddess.
In fact, this is consistent with the tendency of Western powers to use Shenji in recent years. Due to the strengthening of conventional force and the continuous expansion of battlefields, Westerners have gradually tended to the conservative idea of using Shenji as a deterrent force, which is consistent with the Qing court's
The methods are different but achieve the same goal.
It can only be said that Lin Youde, who generously ordered the Shenji Battalion to go into battle during the Philippine Campaign, was an alien—no, he was originally an alien, a time traveler.
But Lin Youde is quite clear about the significance of Shen Ji as a deterrent force. This deterrent power not only depends on the quantity of Shen Ji, but also depends on the quality.
Therefore, the lack of high-ranking goddesses made Lin Youde very troubled.
Now the Japanese are doing well. They sent six high-ranking goddesses to Lin Youde at once, including a guy who is said to have a much higher bloodline than Tomoe, who is at the level of a shrine lord.
It's a timely help.
Can Lin Youde not be excited about such a good thing?
Moreover, goddesses are usually beauties, and it is a small probability for a woman to make a fool of herself. Lin Youde has recently lost interest in those girls who would take advantage of his pretty face, but it does not mean that he has lost interest in beauties. People will grow, Lin Youde
Over the past two years or so, the thing that has probably grown the most is his sexual audacity.
I don’t know why, but after September, Lin Youde began to feel dissatisfied with his desires. The beautiful French-Spanish girl Xiafei whom he met in Hong Kong last year really did not meet again as Lin Youde expected, and Nie Xueqiu finally escaped.
, but now he is far away in Helang Yabo. Only Xuedeba has been staying with Lin Youde, but he won't even let him hug him. He only ate and felt refreshed when he upgraded, but it was just tofu. Lin Youde
There is a bottom line, that is, never commit adultery or anything similar, and never attack a girl when she is unable to express her will. Therefore, in the last time and space, even though Lin Youde read countless films, he would never watch anything with
Lin Youde's own explanation for a film with the content mentioned above is that you can be a bulldozer or a scumbag, but you can never be worse than a scumbag.
Hypocrisy or hypocrisy, anyway, this is the bottom line Lin Youde has drawn for himself.
So until now, Ba has only been eaten twice by Lin Youde.
This is really unsatisfactory.
Now that a new beautiful girl is coming, Lin Youde can feast his eyes again, and he will have the opportunity to eat fresh tofu when he levels up!
But Lin Youde didn't have any expectations about picking up these girls on his own.
Once you work as a silkworm, you will become filthy in ten years.
Lin Youde even had doubts about his affair: If this girl really liked him, why was she so sensitive to physical contact? If she didn't like him, then could her gentleness when they were alone be fake with ulterior motives?
?That sweet atmosphere is just Lin Youde’s own illusion?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand.
It's still a feast for the eyes to eat tofu, which is straightforward and enjoyable.
Thinking like this, Lin Youde showed a lewd smile that he hadn't shown in a long time towards the boat docking.
"Please don't do this," Tomoe frowned slightly, "Everyone here is a priestess with a higher rank than me. Please maintain proper etiquette."
This was also Ba's new behavior after she became close to Lin Youde. Before she returned from the Philippines, she basically would not criticize Lin Youde's behavior and completely regarded herself as a loyal servant. But now, this kind of attention to small details
Corrections and reminders gradually increased.
Since what the girl said was basically correct, Lin Youde could only accept it with an open mind.
So Lin Youde put away his humble smile, pursed his lips and held his head high with a straight face, trying his best to make his eyes sharp.
"It looks like a goose showing off its power." Chen Haihui commented in a low voice from the side.
Lin Youde burst into laughter, and the majesty he had just shown collapsed immediately. He turned around and punched Chen Haihui on the shoulder. Chen Haihui laughed and dodged the punch. Ba Ze shook his head and sighed. At this moment, he was so present.
The British reporter included it in the camera. Lin Youde's biological age in this world this year was 21 years old, and Chen Haihui was 20 years old. Both of them were still half-grown, so this photo was later named "The Youth Record of the Empire Builder"
