As soon as Si Qiongzhi entered the door, his little niece threw himself in his arms.

Tamamo's small wrist wears a string of bright diamond bracelets.

The bracelet is specially made, because there are no such small ones on the market, and the diamonds are deliberately cut very small, which are dazzling but not heavy.

"Aunt, my dad gave it to me." Yuzao shook her hand and handed it to Si Qiongzhi.

Tamamo has always admired Si Qiongzhi's diamond bracelet.

It's a pity that the bracelet was not suitable for her five-year-old hand. Si Qiongzhi went to many jewelry stores, but couldn't find one for the child.

Probably, no one would buy such expensive jewelry for a five-year-old girl.

"It's beautiful." Si Qiongzhi held up Yuzao's little hand, "This is unique."

"My dad is the best." Yuzao said.

Si Qiongzhi teased her: "Isn't that aunt bad?"

"Aunt, how old are you, why are you jealous?" Yuzao asked her.

Si Qiongzhi almost smiled softly.

She took Tamamo in and saw her elder brother was talking to her father.

Then, she saw her eldest brother's gaze on her face.

"What?" Si Qiongzhi touched his face subconsciously.

Si Xingpei said: "It's nothing, you are still this young girl, and you haven't grown at all. Haven't Pei Cheng done it yet?"

Si Qiongzhi's face turned red all of a sudden.

There is no one more **** in this world than her eldest brother.

Gu Qingzhou hit the arm of Si Xingpei: "Are you acting like a big brother? What a **** you are talking about!"

"As a brother, there is no one who doesn't want to sweep his sister out." Si Xingpei said, "Do you want to stay at home and be an old girl?"

Si Qiongzhi's face turned even redder.

She turned to Yuzao and said, "Let's go, ignore your father."

Yuzao looked at this, then looked at that, and decisively pulled Si Qiongzhi's hand: "Aunt, we are all beauties, and I'm on your side."

Si Qiongzhi almost fell down laughing.

Gu Qingzhou: ""

She could have predicted that her own girl was so shameless that when others saw her in the future, they would know that she was Si Xingpei's daughter.

Gu Qingzhou thought, she is quite reserved, why is she not like her?

After some playfulness, Si Qiongzhi first went back to the house to wash his face and change his clothes, and then came out to eat.

When she brought Tamamo over, only the fifth concubine was instructing the servants to prepare dinner.

"Where's Dad?" Si Qiongzhi asked.

The fifth concubine pointed to the study room: "talk to the young marshal and his wife inside."

Si Qiongzhi understood.

She knows what her eldest brother is doing, and she also knows the secret of this matter, at least for the time being, she can't let outsiders know.

Several people in the study are discussing about the warship.

"The maintenance of each warship of the British requires four million pounds a year, and the employment price I offered is five hundred thousand pounds a year." Si Xingpei said.

The commander-in-chief thought for a while, it was so easy to take it down.

"How many warships have you negotiated?" the commander-in-chief asked.

"Thirty-nine." Si Xingpei said, "one warship houses five hundred navy."

The commander-in-chief frowned: "This way, there is a navy of nearly 20,000 people. Do the British rest assured?"

"There are only less than 8,000 people in the Singapore Navy's warships, but they reported to the government that it was 120,000 people." Si Xingpei smiled slyly.

Commander: ""

The heavy profit and news here are not equal, so that Si Xingpei's plan can be implemented smoothly.

"When did you get the formal authorization?" the commander-in-chief asked.

"I already got it. When I came back, I went through all the formalities on the way. In order to save money, the Governor's Office gave me the documents and asked me to buy the uniform myself, as long as it meets the standards of the British Navy.

As for the documents and guns, I will go to the Governor's Palace tomorrow to get my own. I will do it myself for my servants, and they will make pictures for me. "Si Xingpei said.

The commander-in-chief nodded.

Within a few days, Si Xingpei got the certificate. He is a legal and compliant "British Fleet", employed by the British government, and has a cooperative relationship with the Governor's Office, not a subordinate relationship.

This incident did not cause a particularly big stir, and the public in Singapore hardly knew it.

The navy fleet will not be close to the beach, nor will they roam the streets. The public can't see them, and they don't know that the British government has hired a group of navy to protect them.

"Is there any value on the island besides kerosene?" Gu Qingzhou asked Si Xingpei, "I heard that the island is as big as Singapore."

"It's not as big as Singapore." Si Xingpei said, "There is no one else on the island except pirates, and there is no farming. Ninety percent of the place is full of trees."

"Are there many birds?"

"A lot, a lot." Si Xingpei laughed, "If you walk in the bushes, you can fall all over with bird droppings, which is of no ornamental value."

It was a deserted island with no population, no agriculture and no industry, and resources were even more scarce.

Except for kerosene.

There is a lot of kerosene on the island, which is probably its only value.

"In the future, will we develop it?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Si Xingpei shook his head: "Don't think about it in our generation. In the future, our children and grandchildren will be bored, they can do it."

"Then which country does it belong to?"

"There are many deserted islands in the sea, and none of them are affiliated." Si Xingpei said, "Whether they are Japanese or Europeans, what they want is resources. Everyone is looting, who has the spare money to pick up abandoned islands?"

"What about the future?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "What if someone wants it in the future?"

"Then give it to them." Si Xingpei said with a smile, "If someone really wants it in the future and is willing to pay to develop it, give it to Nanjing."

This is the vision.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei didn't know what the future would be like.

Whether the vision of the vision is vague or narrow, they do not know.

Si Xingpei hugged Gu Qingzhou: "From today, I will be a good father."

He no longer needs to go out all day.

His fleet would be responsible for the development, maintenance and refining of the kerosene, and he was not responsible for it himself.

Once the foundation is laid, his subordinates will automatically help him do it well, just like when others were in Taiyuan Mansion.

"My son doesn't know how to call him Abba." Si Xingpei kissed Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou thought that he would say next that it was because of his absence that he failed to keep up with the children's education, and he felt guilty.

Unexpectedly, Si Xingpei sighed: "Tamazao will speak in eight months. Sure enough, the boy is not as good as the girl."

Gu Qingzhou: ""

It was justifiable, she simply couldn't refute it.

She thought that in the future, their husband and wife would not get together less often, and then she thought that her two poor sons would be in trouble from now on.

"Let's have another daughter." Si Xingpei said here, and "by the way" changed the topic to what he was interested in, picked up Gu Qingzhou and went back to the room.

Gu Qingzhou was speechless again.

After returning home, Gu Qingzhou took a shower and came out, just in time to see the calendar by the bed.

She said to Si Xingpei, "Today is the first day of the new calendar!"

"how?"

"It's a new year." Gu Qingzhou said, "Si Xingpei, a new life has just begun, and it happens to start with a new year. Is this a coincidence?"
