I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 515
After the refreshments were served in the private room of the teahouse, two foreigners introduced themselves to each other, one was named Root and the other was named Corey.

As for the surnames, Yang Xi and his wife don't know much about the surnames of foreign nobles. Anyway, they are very long. Keep smiling and listen to the two self-introductions.

Root is the eldest son of the earl, which means the heir to the earl, and Corey is already a viscount.

Yang Xi and his wife also briefly introduced themselves, and Zhou Yu raised his hand to signal, "Please have some refreshments, both of you."

Root wanted to eat it a long time ago. The sweet and greasy aroma of honey has always attracted him. He picked up a piece and tasted it, and his eyes lit up instantly, "I have eaten a lot of southern dim sum, and this one is very special. The sweetness of honey and the taste of fruit."

Yang Xi had something to say, "Since the appearance of canned fruit, dim sum chefs have been inspired. This dim sum is made with canned juice."

She fell in love with it the last time she came here. The shopkeeper's introduction is very detailed, why not keep it a secret from them, because the formula is really not difficult.

Root immediately felt that the snacks in his mouth were not delicious. They like canned fruits and various jams, which are especially delicious when spread on bread. However, he sincerely admired, "The missionaries who traveled to the East in the early years once wrote According to the biographies, it is said that the eastern country has a vast territory and is prosperous and rich everywhere. Even now, even though it is in war, I am still deeply attracted."

Yang Xi, "Oh."

It is precisely because of the biography of the missionary that a large number of foreigners are attracted to come here. Unfortunately, the cannon was imitated by their husband and wife before the snipe and clam competed for the fisherman's benefit.

Now Xixuan's family is weak, lacking ore and coal, etc. When the family is rich, the smelting furnace will continue to improve the smelting technology, and when everything is ready, the cannon that belongs to Xixuan can be created.

What Corey pays attention to is not dim sum, but exquisite porcelain. Tasting the tea leaves, his thoughts are flying, he really wants to take Ruizhou as his own, and his heart is full of greed. Terrible news.

Root took out the prepared gift, "We originally planned to visit the two gentlemen in person, but we did not expect the two gentlemen to ask us to meet. This is a gift for the two gentlemen."

A set of glasses, and some polished stones.

Yang Xi and his wife looked at the glass with subtle expressions. Facing the gems, Yang Xi and his wife were also very indifferent. They saw a lot of all kinds of gems.

Root and Corey looked at each other. They were not disappointed, but felt normal. They saw the prosperity of Ruizhou along the way, but their hearts were heavy. They didn't know what else could move the two gentlemen.

Corey said in a casual tone, "I heard that General Yang has a cannon. I wonder if we are honored to see it with our own eyes?"

Yang Xi smiled, "No."

Corey choked, and couldn't help staring at the boss, "I thought we were friends already."

Zhou Yu chuckled, "No, I don't think so."

He never wants to be friends with foreigners, he prefers to capture foreigners.

Root clearly realized that General Yang's sister and brother-in-law were not friendly to them. This is the confidence brought by the cannon. What's worse is that there are more lunatics like Guan Yi in the sea. Since Guan Yi appeared, they have not dared to Let the merchant ship come this way.

Merchant ships cannot reach the seaport smoothly, which means that they cannot exchange goods, but can only buy goods from the Central Plains maritime merchants, and their goods will also be priced down.

Gentleman Root and Corey couldn’t keep their smiles. Not only did they want to investigate General Yang’s cannons, they also wanted to make a deal with General Yang, asking General Yang to suppress Guanyi and keep their merchant ships from being robbed. The goods are a huge loss to them, and they have suffered heavy losses in the past six months.

Yang Xi doesn't want to stay any longer. The couple never thought of cooperating with foreigners. They and Guan Yi are the community of interests. It is enough to support Guan Yi.

To be honest, Yang Xi was quite disappointed when he saw two foreigners, especially the greed in Corey's eyes could not be hidden.

Yang Xi endured the perfume for a long time, couldn't take it anymore, stood up and said: "Recently, Guan Yi has been in the city, if you two want to cooperate with Guan Yi, we have signed a contract with Guan Yi, in our east A gentleman's promise is worth as much as a thousand pieces of gold."

Zhou Yu also got up, "It's getting late, there will be a date later."

The husband and wife left quickly, Zhou Yu went to the door of the box and turned back: "By the way, you two should not go around, this is a troubled time, once you go to a place you shouldn't go, your life will be in danger."

Root and Corey waited for the box door to close again, and Corey said angrily: "It's so arrogant, they don't take us seriously, Root, have you seen that they despise us."

Root watched Corey open his arms exaggeratedly, and pressed his eyebrows with a headache, "It was indeed beyond my expectation."

They are used to being praised by some maritime merchants in the eastern country, and today his face hurts a little. He seems to have heard the sound of slaps, the casual gestures of the two gentlemen, the indifferent eyes, and the last threat.

Root's heart was beating wildly, and he clearly realized that if they did something out of the ordinary, what awaited them would be death.

Corey scolded Guan Yi again, "This damn robber, the devil, he caused us heavy losses."

Root did not appease his companions, but said nervously: "One governor will make us burn out, how can General Yang, who is in charge of two states, think highly of us."

They have also benefited from the lack of a strong navy in the eastern countries over the years, and now he has seen the prototype of the navy from Guan Yi.

Root stood up abruptly and grabbed Corey with both hands, "We have seen the situation in other states, and you have also seen the prosperity of Ruizhou. General Yang is a man with lofty goals. He cooperates with Guan Yi. You said Will he incorporate Guan Yi into a navy? Or build a powerful navy himself?"

Corey wanted to say stop joking, the navy is not something that can be built just because it is established, but the rebuttal stuck in his throat, General Yang can make cannons, "Oh my god, it's too bad."

Root panicked, "Although the purpose of coming here has failed, we have not gained nothing."

"What should we do next?"

Root clenched his hands, "Leave, we have to get out of here quickly."

He is the heir to the earl, he doesn't want to stay here, he wants to leave, immediately, immediately.

He no longer had the complacency he had when he came here. It can be said that after stepping into the land of Ruizhou, he predicted the failure of the trip. General Yang has cannons and no longer needs to please them.

Downstairs in the teahouse, the couple did not leave in a hurry, because Guan Yi was drinking tea in the lobby of the teahouse.

Yang Xi and his wife walked over, Zhou Yu looked at the man behind Guan Yi, "You want to arrest two foreign nobles directly?"

Guan Yi raised his teacup, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Zhou."

Yang Xi, "It seems that Guan Dangjia understands our husband and wife very well."

This is to guess that they don't care about foreigners.

Guan Yi, "Understood, but dare not take it."
