Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Your Highness, you said that you want to hire an officer from John's country as an instructor. It's not impossible, but in terms of salary..." Andrew knew that he couldn't refuse, so he simply started asking for the price.

"I will never treat you badly in terms of salary. Let's set it at double salary for the time being." Lin Yi stretched out two fingers and said to Andrew indifferently.

"Your Excellency the Prince..." Andrew wanted to say something else, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Lin Yi again.

"The bonus is calculated separately. I can at least guarantee that the monthly bonus will be at least one hundred imperial silver dollars!"

"Your Excellency, I think the price you gave is very suitable. I believe those children are also very willing to accept this job." Andrew immediately changed his mind and said.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. You pay compensation, and I, Daxia, will buy your warships parked in Jinghai and hire your people to serve as instructors."

"At the same time, in cooperation with you, I declare internationally that you are here to escort the warship I purchased from Daxia."

When Andrew heard Lin Yi's words, although he agreed with Lin Yi's conditions, he didn't know why he felt strange?

However, Andrew did not waste time on this, but said again: "Your Excellency, do you think this compensation can be smaller? I'm afraid that the parliament will not be able to pass this compensation of tens of millions of imperial silver dollars. "

When Lin Yi heard what Andrew said, he suddenly became a little unhappy.

It was said that he would be compensated with [-] million imperial silver dollars, but the money passed through his hands and he immediately returned it to the other party, and even gave him an additional [-] million imperial silver dollars.

It’s all like this, isn’t Andrew satisfied yet?

However, Lin Yi had long been mentally prepared for the Western countries' greed for money. He originally offered the compensation of [-] million imperial silver dollars in order to be able to make concessions when negotiating with Andrew.

The bottom line on his side is that even if John only pays [-] imperial silver dollars, he still has to pay!

"Looking at how much you love money, forget it. I am happy today, so I will give you another two million."

Having said this, Lin Yi leaned forward slightly, stretched out a hand, made an "eight" gesture, and then said to Andrew: "Eight million imperial silver dollars, this is my bottom line. I hope you will not continue to challenge this king’s bottom line.”

When Andrew heard this, although he cursed Lin Yi as a barbarian in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.

"Dear Prince, we can accept eight million imperial silver dollars, and we can accept it." Andrew said with some embarrassment.

"Just accept it, then there is only one item left, the concession issue." Lin Yi tapped the third item on the contract with his hand.

"I don't want to say anything more about the concession. Your John Empire and the Gallic Empire have invested in the concession. I understand and support it."

"But in the concession, the treatment of the people of Daxia must be improved. After all, no matter how you say the concession, it is within my territory of Daxia."

"We, Daxia, need to be responsible for the people living in the concession. If they do not live well in the concession, I, Daxia, reserve the right to use force to solve these problems." Lin Yi said slowly.

"Sir Andrew, you should also have heard of my old saying in Daxia: When friends come, there is wine; when wolves come, there are only sticks."

"Sir Andrew, do you want to be my friend in Daxia, or do you want to be a jackal?" Lin Yi looked at Andrew and asked in a deep voice.

"Friends, definitely friends!" Andrew Lian Sheng replied.

The reason why Andrew answered so happily was because the condition proposed by Lin Yi was just a minor problem in Andrew's opinion.

Lin Yi said that he just hoped that Western countries would treat Daxia employees better and improve their social status.

John's Empire and the Gallic Empire, these two empires actually had internal discussions about whether to improve the treatment of local residents.

The reason for this discussion is, on the one hand, because these two imperial scenes flaunt themselves as leaders of the civilized world.

Since you are a leader, you need to pay attention to morality and ethics.

Moreover, as the situation on Europa becomes increasingly tense, the John Empire and the Gallic Empire need to return their energy to Europa, which leads to the need for an agent in the east to look after their interests.

This agent, John and Gaul are both optimistic about Daxia, which is why for a period of time, John's empire will sell large quantities of warships to Daxia, allowing Daxia to have the largest fleet in the East.

It's just that Daxia didn't live up to expectations and lost all that fleet three years ago.

Since then, Empire John has focused its attention on the little cherry blossoms next door, hoping that the Sakura Kingdom can take on the role of this agent.

As the ambassador of the John Empire to Daxia, Andrew naturally hopes that the empire will still support Daxia, so that he can gain sufficient voice in the parliament.

Therefore, when Lin Yi proposed to improve Daxia's treatment in the concession, Andrew would agree without hesitation, because he also needed to use this method to increase Daxia's favorability.

Otherwise, when Daxia rises and protests to John State and wants to replace him, wouldn't he be in a huge loss?

Besides, is it John, or one or two people in Gaul, who has the final say on improving the treatment of Daxia citizens in the concession?

What they can do is restrain the merchants in their empire.

You must know that the number of Daxia people in the concession is countless. When it is not easy for outside citizens to enter the concession, these cheap labor forces are precious resources.

If they improve their salary, they will attract more Daxia people to work in their concession.

This is a disguised form of weakening the labor force of other countries. With so many benefits, it would be strange if Andrew did not agree.

Lin Yi saw that Andrew agreed so happily, which was somewhat beyond his expectation, and also prevented him from saying what he wanted to say later.

Originally, Lin Yi planned that if Andrew and the others did not agree to improve their treatment, he would offer conditions such as allowing them to open factories and build railways in Daxia to induce them to agree.

This is not to say that Lin Yi is thinking of selling Daxia, he has his own plans.

For example, if we are building a railway, does the exploration take time? Does it cost money to build?

Daxia can completely leave this piece to John State and let them contribute money and efforts to build it.

According to the current industrial level of the world, why does it take three to five years to build a railway?

After you fix it, there will be chaos over there in Europa.

And when the war in Europa is booming and life and death are at stake, if Daxia jumps out at this time and forcibly takes back these properties, what will John State dare to say?

The same goes for factories. It takes time to build factories and time to train workers. After the workers can master the equipment in the factory, it will be time for Daxia to take back these industries.

Don't say that doing so will destroy your character or affect the country's credibility.

Not to mention that Lin Yi planned to do this, he was not afraid of what those Western countries would say.

Could they really fight another world war with Daxia? Let’s not talk about whether they have the courage. Even if they do, they probably don’t have the strength.

Even if the Western countries insist on this matter, at worst, Lin Yi can choose to retreat behind the scenes and let Zhao Xu find any reason to take him out.

Even if he retreats behind the scenes, is there anyone in Daxia who dares to show his teeth?
