1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 410 Relocation
A rain shower quenched the afternoon heat in Batavia.

Batavia Governor's Palace.

This is the second time the owner of the nearly 200-year-old building has been so frustrated.

The last time the Governor of Batavia was so frustrated was when they lost an island called Holmes.

The conflict between Hehua started on the island of Borneo, but after Liang Yao intervened, the impact of the war in Hehua was not limited to the island of Borneo.

Especially after the naval battle in the Java Sea, the Dutch residents of Batavia began to complain that their living supplies were insufficient and the prices were extremely high.

The Dutch have ruled the city for 200 years since the days of the Dutch East India Company.

However, the Netherlands, which is based on mercantilism, does not pay much attention to industry.

Not to mention Batavia, even the local industry in the Netherlands is not very developed, and even the shipbuilding industry they were once proud of is weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The high-quality life of the upper-class Dutch in Batavia was based on well-developed maritime commerce and trade.

Once the sea trade route is blocked, their quality of life will inevitably decline.

When California announced an embargo against the Dutch and Indian authorities, Batavia residents at most could not buy California's high-quality and cheap kerosene.

However, there are other alternatives to kerosene.

At present, the pirates in the Java Sea are rampant, seriously blocking their trade routes. What Batavia lacks now is not only the product of lamp oil.

"On March 3, two merchant ships were attacked by pirates in the Java Sea, one of which was captured by pirates, and one managed to escape.

According to the reports of the escaped crew members, the ships that these pirates were driving were steam ships, not ordinary pirates.

On March 3, an armed merchant ship that came to Batavia in response to the conscript was also attacked by pirates in the Java Sea. Although it escaped successfully, the ship was severely damaged and is currently undergoing emergency repairs.”

The assistant to Tevez, Governor of Batavia, was chattering and reporting the recent situation to Tevez, looking up from time to time to see the changes in Tevez's expression.

It's just that the governor's expression hasn't changed much. From the beginning to the end, it's as gloomy as the damn weather.

"Liang Yao came prepared."

Tevez, who was standing in front of the window, returned to his seat.

Ever since Liang Yao intervened in the Hehua War in Borneo, bad things happened one after another.

Obviously, this young man of Chinese descent is very aware of where his weakness lies.

There was no need for his assistant to say it clearly, Tevez knew that the rampant pirates in the Java Sea must have something to do with Liang Yao.Even Liang Yao himself was involved.

But even if he knew, there was nothing Tevez could do now.

Before the new sea power can be assembled, he can only choose to lie in the dark like a crocodile, waiting for the best time to counterattack.

"Let the conscripted ships come to Batavia after they have assembled outside the Java Sea," Tevez said.

"But if this is the case, many conscripted ships may not be able to arrive in Batavia on time." Tevez's assistant said after a moment of hesitation.

"Compared with time, what we need now is to reduce losses." Tevez's face was full of helpless expression.

Why didn't he want to quickly assemble the conscripted ships, and then give Liang Yao a thunderous blow?
"I see, Your Excellency." The assistant nodded and said, and then asked Tevez for the next question.

"Ye Tingfan, the chief executive of Lanfang Company, came to join us in Batavia? How should we handle this matter?"

"Set them up and monitor their whereabouts," Tevez said.

Tevez has already learned about the fall of Dongwanlu, but he still doesn't know how Liang Yao will deal with Lanfang Company. Tevez still doesn't know whether Ye Tingfan is of value to him now.

"One more thing, sir, this is worse news."

As he spoke, the assistant handed over a letter.

"General Anderson has sent north to surround Pontianak. The current situation in Pontianak is not good for them. General Anderson requests that we send reinforcements as soon as possible to help him regain Pontianak."

Upon hearing the news, the expression on Tevez's face instantly froze. He was so angry that he jumped up from his seat and couldn't help cursing loudly: "Anterson, you bastard!"

Unlike Batavia, which is rainy and rainy, Sacramento, the capital of California, is sunny and sunny at this time.

On April 1854, 4.

That is, when California ushered in her fourth statehood festival, the state government office building, state assembly hall and state court in Sacramento were finally completed.

The state government, state legislature, and state courts no longer need to share an office with the relevant units in San Francisco.

The relocation of the state government, the state assembly, and the state court brought a wave of rise in land prices in Sacramento, which had been silent for a long time, and shrewd shopkeepers also took the opportunity to raise the rent of their shops.

However, these increases are negligible compared to the increase in land prices in Sacramento in the early stages of the gold rush.

Changes in the executive, legislative, and judicial centers of California have little impact on the lives of ordinary people.

For example, in the future, approval at the state level can only be handled in Sacramento, and some lawsuits will be filed in the courts of Sacramento.

But the vicissitudes of California's executive, legislative, and judicial centers affected the mill lords and plant lords who entered and exited the halls of the Assembly somewhat more.

The congressmen who settled in Sacramento are naturally very happy, and they don't have to go to San Francisco for future meetings.

Of course, most MPs are still not very happy.

Because San Francisco is currently the largest city in California with the largest population, the most developed economy, and the most complete industrial categories.

Most of the legislators live in San Francisco, and to hold a meeting in the future, they must take a train from San Francisco to the State House in Sacramento for a meeting.

Some petty lawmakers have introduced a bill in parliament to provide travel allowances for state legislators.

However, the bill was quickly vetoed by Finance Minister Deng Wenyu on the grounds that the state government's finances were tight. Governor Robinson and Secretary of State Ge Wen also did not agree with the bill.

Afterwards, Deng Wenyu even ridiculed the state legislators who proposed to provide travel allowances for state legislators in public, bluntly saying that state legislators who have no money are still a fart.

The state legislators in California are not out of money, on the contrary, looking at the states of the United States.

The net worth of California state legislators can even compete with state legislators from New York state.

The member who put forward this motion is nothing more than trying to take advantage of it.

"The weather is so nice. I hope that the relocation of the state government office building, the state assembly hall, and the state court can bring some new atmosphere to Sacramento." Sutter said, looking at the state assembly hall.

After the gold rush center was transferred to the Nevada area, Sacramento's position became awkward.

It is worse than Nevada than gold rush, and San Francisco is worse than economy. The only thing that can do it is the military industry.Not as blooming as San Francisco.
