New Ming Empire mixed in America

Ted came out of his boss's house with a stiff face, looked at the not-so-round moon in the sky, and let out a long sigh.

He has been here for three days in a row, but he still hasn't convinced this stubborn old guy to put pressure on the parliament.

He feels that now he can only achieve his goal by asking Mr. Stanford for help.

This is his first job. If he comes back in despair, his future political career will be over.

After wiping his face, Ted walked towards the hotel he rented.

Early the next morning, Ted had packed up and hurried out without even eating breakfast.

I spent a few cents to ride on a carriage carrying goods and arrived at the city center.

Sacramento was designated as the state capital of California only five years ago. Gold was discovered here in 1848, and the city was founded in 1849 by the carpenter who discovered gold.

As the state capital of California, Sacramento is an important population center and the commercial and agricultural center of California.

It was also the terminal station for carriage fleets, stagecoaches, river ships, telegraphs, express delivery and other companies.

Now, Ted swears here that he must get back what he lost with his own hands!

After taking a few deep breaths, he squatted at the door of the stock exchange.

Although the winter in California is about 10 degrees Celsius, it is not particularly cold.

But in order to dress decently, he did not choose to wear a bulky cotton coat under his outer coat, so now he could only huddle in a corner sheltered from the wind and wait patiently.

Opposite is a high-end restaurant, which is also where Mr. Stanford always appears recently.

Nowadays, it is no secret that Mr. Stanford wants to establish a railroad company, and there are even rumors that Mr. Stanford is also a candidate for governor in the next term.

Rubbing his hands, Ted endured his hunger and waited patiently.

At about 8:30 in the morning, 36-year-old Mr. Leland Stanford arrived at the restaurant by carriage on time.

Taking the aluminum cane handed over by his entourage, Mr. Stanford prepared to have a pleasant lunch with Mr. Hughes, the rich man who came out.

Mr. Hughes also held an aluminum cane. However, unlike the eagle head on Mr. Stanford's cane, the head of his cane was a cute puppy.

It is said to be one of the twelve totem protector gods in the East, a pet with three eyes and a god of war, and feeds on the sun.

This kind of cane is now a standard accessory for the upper class in California. It is said that it was a family collection that was sold by a capitalist from the East to raise funds to build a factory.

Hughes almost laughed out loud when he thought of the Eastern capitalist who wrote an article in the California Evening News that he would ascend the throne in Los Angeles and proclaim himself emperor.

I originally thought that the appearance of an American emperor in San Francisco was ridiculous enough.

Unexpectedly, an emperor proclaimed his accession to the throne would pop up in a wilderness called Los Angeles.

Unlike the down-and-out guy in San Francisco, the guy in Los Angeles who claims to be the protector of all Orientals is very wealthy.

It is said that his family was once a great noble in the East. It was only because of the current war in the Far East that he came to the West Coast with all his savings.

Although the clown made a ridiculous statement, his money was real.

So in order to continue to suck blood from each other, the California consortium teamed up to double the price of goods shipped to Los Angeles.

And he also successfully tricked the Oriental into mortgaging all the aluminum through the San Francisco Bank.

When the time comes, everything about that Easterner will probably be eaten up by the California consortium.

And Thasius's appointment with Mr. Stanford today was not just to participate in the upcoming railway company.

At the same time, he also wanted to join the small group that robbed the Oriental through Mr. Stanford.

This is a sure-profit deal, even though the aluminum is still in the vault of the Los Angeles branch.

But the California consortium had begun to obtain the right to print twenty million dollars from Washington through a mortgage contract between the San Francisco Bank and Dongfang Li.

If you don’t get involved now before the U.S. dollars are printed, it will be too late when the U.S. dollars begin to circulate.

"Haha, Mr. Stanford is indeed as young and promising as the legend says."

Hughes complimented Stanford with a smile on his face, then stepped aside and personally opened the main door of the restaurant for Stanford.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came out from the side...no, it was a figure that came over and stopped in front of Stanford.

"Mr. Stanford, I am the new Los Angeles tax collector of the Department of Taxation. I would like to have a few words with you."

The person who jumped out was Ted. He quickly avoided the obstruction of the coachman outside, and broke through to Stanford without the followers reacting.

This turn of events shocked everyone, but the businessman Hughes was the first to react.

Seeing that the guy who suddenly jumped out was skinny and without weapons, he retracted his legs ready to run and took a step in the opposite direction.

It was this step that allowed him to push Ted away, protect him in front of Stanford, and shouted loudly:

"What do you want, you bastard? Please don't be afraid, Mr. Stanford, I'm here!"

The followers also reacted at this time and rushed forward one after another and pinned Ted firmly to the ground.

"Mr. Stanford, I don't mean any harm. I am a tax collector in Los Angeles. We met at your wife's birthday party..."

After being caught, Ted struggled violently and raised an invitation he had been holding on to.

That was sent out when Stanford held a birthday party for his wife.

After seeing the invitation, Stanford's initially frightened and angry expression gradually softened.

And after hearing the other party say that he was the Los Angeles tax collector, he asked his followers to let Ted go.

"Young man, please tell me your purpose. I think there should be no intersection between us."

There is indeed no interaction. A small tax official is not qualified to have any interaction with Mr. Stanford.

The same applies even if the other person became a tax collector because of his connections with the Stanford family.

The Stanford family is a big family, including not only Leland Stanford, who is about to become governor, but also many people named Stanford scattered throughout California.

These family members from all walks of life formed a large network and were firmly rooted in the land of California.

And Ted became a tax collector because of his connections with a branch of the Stanford family.

"Mr. Stanford, I have something important to say about that Oriental man in Los Angeles."

"The Oriental man formed an army during this period. You heard me right, it's an army, with an army of thousands of people!"

"He also built a coastal defense fort. He is not crazy, he really wants to be independent in Los Angeles!"

"We can't let it go any longer. Please propose to the state government to send a cavalry regiment to Los Angeles to suppress the riots. We can't let those Orientals pollute our land!"

Ted's ability to travel around the world relies on the word "quick". Not only does he run fast, he also talks fast!

Looking at Mr. Stanford, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Ted knew that he had succeeded.

As long as those Easterners are successfully suppressed, his name will definitely appear in the list of heroes after the war, and he will be irreplaceable!

Starting from today, Ted can loudly announce that his road will be completely broadened from now on!
