Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 64 Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling

  Into the end of October

  A new round of quarrels has spread to Western Australia and South Australia. Western Australia’s position is to respect Queensland’s independent choice, because of its vast land and sparse population, poor people and short ambitions, no one takes it seriously.

  The statement of South Australia is the highlight;

In view of the current disputes, South Australia is deeply worried and calls for abandoning prejudices and work together to build Australia into a paradise for adults and become the brightest diamond in Queen Victoria’s crown. Useful disputes are disputes, and unprofitable disputes can only make people. Feel sorry.

  Look at...what does this all mean?

  The ambiguity of this Yunshan Mist, to say that it is in fact tantamount to not expressing it, makes people wonder if there is too much Scotch whiskey, and it is talking about the wine.

   "Hehehe..."

  Li Fushou smiled happily with relevant reports. He knows why Western Australia and South Australia have expressed such a position?

  Because they all accepted large bribes from the Red River Valley, South Australia paid 1,800 pounds, and Western Australia was very cheap, only 450 pounds.

  Don’t expect how high the level of Australian politicians are now. Many of them are white farmers who don’t know a lot.

  The hard riding boots stepped on the table, opened his mouth and began to greet each other's mother, with vulgar words.

  The six autonomous states on the Australian mainland have formed a two-on-three situation, and one chooses to stand idly by and not participate in this kind of talk that affects unity.

  The two independent districts also chose to be silent. On the contrary, New Zealand, which no one cares about, jumped out and expressed its full support for the wise choice of Queensland, and expressed its willingness to accept the Chinese to settle and buy property in New Zealand and give equal treatment...

  This statement immediately attracted the anger of Victoria and New South Wales, and they turned their guns to New Zealand. Several newspapers published a series of angry denunciations against New Zealand, and their speech was full of arrogance, arrogance and disdain.

New Zealand is now an independent dominion status. At first glance, it seems to be tied with Australia and Canada. In fact, it is just a deserted island with a population of a little over 10,000. Most of them are prisoners sent and exiled from the British Isles. Unwilling officials.

  In this corner of the world that seems to be forgotten by the world, New Zealand babies feel distressed, and the opportunity to rub hot spots must not be let go. Even if they are scolded a few times, they can feel the value of their existence.

  So

  New Zealand jumped out decisively. The New Zealand Courier, which has a circulation of only 117 copies, was fully fired and used more acrimonious language to fight back against Australia.

  It’s pretty good, it's just breaking the ground on Tai Sui's head.

New South Wales has several important cities, Newcastle, Sydney and Canberra. Victoria has Australia’s most populous and economically developed Melbourne, and has a historic Victorian gold mining area, with a combined population of over 70 Eighty thousand, far from being comparable to a small New Zealand.

The mere ants dare to bully the door. Uncle can bear it, but sister-in-law can’t bear it.

  The two sides talked about you and me, and even attracted the attention of Downing Street, but in the end it was still nothing.

  Australia is unlikely to affect New Zealand’s policies. No matter how small and remote, he is still a dominion. He belongs directly to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and has no relationship with Australia.

  Amidst this turmoil, Red River Valley quietly speeded up the implementation of the state legislative increase in district elections and elected 28 Chinese legislators, including Li Fushou and Hongmen.

  At this point, Li Fushou’s carefully planned action broke through the glass ceiling of Chinese status and achieved the political status he wanted.

  This makes him feel very comfortable. Most of the haze in his heart has dissipated, and the heavy pressure on his shoulders is also much less.

  The mood that has always been shrouded in the shadow of the British Empire, like walking on thin ice, has finally been temporarily relieved.

  It’s not easy!

  Li Fushou Xin Ma Yourong walked out of the large study room, and watched the forest in the distance of the Red Fort, the forest was dyed and golden, and there was a large number of magnificent red leaves against it. His heart suddenly rose with lofty ambition.

  The important action to break through the glass ceiling this time was meticulously planned and deployed, and almost all of the network resources were invested to make a breakthrough regardless of the cost. The difficulty is no less than that of a large-scale battle.

  The amount of money paid by the Red Fort for this is 100,000 pounds, and the energy and manpower spent are even more innumerable. Finally, a successful achievement has been achieved.

  Among them, they were solely used to buy white parliamentarians and paid more than 70,000 pounds for public opinion. A large number of people went to small towns and mining cities scattered in Queensland to visit every white parliamentarian with a heavy gift.

  This also includes the high cost of bribing the governor’s assistant Aaron Johnson and Speaker Edward, which can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

  Li Fushou did not think about killing Aaron Johnson, nor did he think about saving this little money. He still paid the mere 10,000 pounds, and there is no need to be contaminated with black spots.

  He cherishes feathers and pays more attention to word-of-mouth and his image among the Chinese.

  Compared with the greedy money seller, it is more difficult to conquer the mountain of Speaker Edward, but it is unavoidable.

  Li Fushou not only paid a 9.5% stake in the coking coal plant, but also promised to go to the United Kingdom in person to clear the relationship for Lieutenant Colonel Mendes and restore his future in the Imperial Navy.

  Well, Lieutenant Colonel Mendes, captain of the "Old Woman", is still under investigation.

  Because of the long distance between London and Australia, the efficiency of the exchange of clerical documents is very touching. Even if it is delivered to the desk, the bureaucrats of the Admiralty may not have the time to look at it. Under the obstruction of the people, it is difficult to reach a conclusion in three or five years.

  Lieutenant Colonel Mendes can only hang around the bar all day drunk and beat his wife and children when he goes home, making him restless.

At the strong request of Speaker Edward, Li Fushou had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this tricky task. He had already sent someone to the UK to send a £8,000 cheque. The opponent was the retired Army Lieutenant General George Sturgers from the Noble House. count.

  If you can accept it, there is still room for it. If you don’t accept it, it will be troublesome.

  Because there is another heavyweight involved in this matter, that is the British Empire Admiral Sir Hughes, without him nodding, no one would dare to let go of Lieutenant Colonel Mendes.

   Such a high-ranking figure with real power is far beyond Li Fushou's current level to be able to reach, even if he is not a mixed landlord in Australia, the gap is too far.

  No way, you can only do everything you need to do.

  Li Fushou walked briskly on the thick golden fallen leaves, and quickly left some of his troubles behind him. Now he wants to enjoy the fruits of the harvest.

   "The slave servant is waiting for the master to please peace."

The housekeeper knelt down on the roadside to treat the girl. The leader was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a loyal and steady appearance. The name was Li Ping. He was an immigrant who moved to the Red River Valley of Australia in the later period. He once worked as a housekeeper in Beizi Mansion for 11 years. Experience.

  Now there are 8 big housekeepers in the Red Fort, all of them follow the old man's surname Li, which is commonly known as Enmeng's generational servants. The family has children and is most trusted by the master.

This is the case with the Lai family and his son in the vernacular version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". They have been slaves to the Jia family for generations. They didn't feel anything wrong, but rather proud.

  The 8 internal housekeepers are in order; peace and joy, tranquility and far-reaching.

   "Well, get up, no need to be polite."

   "Thank you, Master."

  Li Ping got up and stepped forward, and asked respectfully; "Master is in a good mood today, and the slave maid will report a few things to you."

   "Let's talk."

"There is no one in front of the old man who can take care of you. It is not a problem to always use that little black girl. The servants have carefully selected 12 girls in the house for you. Does it fit?"

Oh I got it.

  No wonder Yingying Yanyan's more than a dozen maids are standing here, and their feelings have been waiting here early in the morning. It is really too corrupt and too depraved.

  But I like it, hehe...

Li Fushou's bad performance was too obvious, and he looked over with his hands on his back and looked at it with restraint. The twelve young girls who looked like pink jade and jade stood a little uneasy on the side, with a three-point shame and panic in their expressions, and a little bit of fear. The expectation and confusion.

  The eyes of these masters are really poisonous!

  These girls are all between 14 and 18 years old. None of Yanhuan’s fat, thin, watery and slender is not handsome, and they are all at one level in a thousand, and there are even two beautiful white girls.

  Sweet girl is also included, and now she is more and more pretty and charming, and her figure is quite large.

  Ni girl, this is... not so good!

Li Ping watched his words carefully, and said when he saw it, "Master, these little girls are of poor origin, and they can have the opportunity to serve you no less than Yuyao Longmen. That is a blessing that can't be repaired in eight lifetimes, you No, I’m afraid I’m going to make these little women cry and swell their pillows, crying and swollen eyes!"

   "Uh... No, it's really inappropriate."

  "The elder master agreed. You young women who are smoking on the ancestral graves don’t hurry up to thank Ende, and you should be clever and do things for me, otherwise you will be careful of your skins."

  Yingying Yanyan's girl knelt on the ground, thanking her in unison, her voice tactfully like a lark, and she was as comfortable as she felt.

   "This...Li Ping, I can't use so many girls by my side!"

  Li Fushou's face was embarrassed, Li Ping immediately and sincerely persuaded;

"Of course it's a big master. Look at these six little girls who know how to hyphenate words, let them clean up the desk in the study, organize the copy, and be a momo girl, called Shimo, Shishu, and Shiwen. , Shiyan, Shiqin, Shihua, these two handy Mingyan and Mingcha make tea and coffee for you on weekdays, and do some trivial things to light cigarettes and serve tea. Tianer and Xianger make your bed and quilt for you. Serve, immediately enter the deep winter of the cold nine to warm the bed for you. These two blonde foreign girls will keep looking tired and change their tastes. The one with blond hair is called Ajin, and the one with big blue eyes is called Abi. , You don’t see much, this Red Fort Manor is just like a palace, you have to add some in some days."

   "Enough is enough, don't be too extravagant, it's not good like that..."

  Li Fushou finally couldn't help grinning, and directly exposed his posterior molars, exposing his inhumane thoughts.

  The evil old society, there is still a little bit of merit!
