"Earl Howard, please think carefully and take your leave."
Drew put on his top hat and was about to leave Howard Manor.
Seeing that Howard was still very hesitant, he did not continue to persuade him. He believed that Earl Howard would make the right choice.
The moment Drew boarded the carriage, Earl Howard's voice came out.
"Please wait a moment, my friend."
Drew stopped, a smile appeared on his face, turned his head and saw Duke Howard chasing after him, and smiled lightly.
"Is there anything else you can do, Earl Howard?"
Earl Howard looked at Drew solemnly and said: "My respected friend Drew, if you need it, I will help you."
Hearing this, Drew nodded.
He understood what Earl Howard meant and agreed.
He secretly thought, old fox.
This guy is still ready to wait and see. Drew understands Earl Howard's behavior. Now that he has made his promise, all he needs to do next is to wait quietly.
"Thank you." Drew nodded slightly.
Got on the carriage and left Howard's estate.
Earl Howard has already taken care of it, which is undoubtedly good news for him.
The large plantations and other industries owned by Howard provided countless funds to Xie Fang's government.
For Xie Fang, Howard is a very important source of tax revenue.
If Earl Howard stops paying taxes, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Xie Fang.
This will cause the Xie Fang government to lose a lot of wealth.
However, this will not shake the foundation of Xie Fang's government.
The loss of wealth will not reduce the combat effectiveness of the Long Yan Army too much. Those arsenals and minerals have already allowed the Long Yan Army to obtain extremely high-quality equipment.
Howard's failure to pay taxes will only make the Xie government miserable for a while.
Financial loopholes will not be revealed immediately, but will need a period of brewing and fermentation.
Judging from their next move to occupy Australia, France did not provide a direct main force.
Drew rubbed the corners of his eyes. He had to find someone who could directly cause serious damage to Xie Fang and Long Yanjun.
Drew thought for a moment, and a name came to his mind.
But after thinking about him, my face became complicated.
"Fujiwara Sasukeko..."
If there was another choice, Drew didn't want to go to Fujiwara Sasukeko, a lunatic. To him, Fujiwara Sasukeko was a complete lunatic.
This guy from Japan might be a bastard.
He is known for his competitiveness and ruthlessness.
The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan did the right thing. If Drew was the shogun, he would have completely exiled the Fujiwara family.
These people are a scourge wherever they are.
Since Xie Fang promulgated the army leasing contract, Fujiwara Sasukeko has used the Dragon Flame Army to rapidly expand his power and form a gang.
Most of the docks in Australia are owned by the Fujiwara family.
They levied protection fees on the docks, and the so-called Commercial Shipping Union they established was nominally a chamber of commerce.
In fact, it is an organization used to make money.
Instead of dealing with the Fujiwara Sasuke family who disrupted the market economy, Xie Fang allowed them to get worse.
