The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1190 European Ambassador
Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "Brother, I never thought we would meet again."

The man was slightly stunned, and then said: "You are?"

Zhao Dongting replied: "After a while on Longhu Mountain, brother, have you forgotten?"

The man frowned slightly, thought hard, and finally remembered Zhao Dongting, and smiled and said, "So it's you, brother."

Then his eyes glanced at the beautiful Yunjing and other women behind Zhao Dongting, and his smile became wider, "It seems that brother, you also want to understand."

There are also several women behind him, that is, his wives.

It seems that this guy's ordinary life is to take his wives to travel around the mountains and rivers. This kind of life can really be regarded as a fairy life.

Zhao Dongting looked at the happy and sweet faces of the wives behind him, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to your advice, brother."

He especially remembered that at that time, the man compared women with words such as red lips.

But at this time, the man suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, "Caomin..."

Zhao Dongting, with quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly stopped him and winked at him.

The man understood, so he stopped kneeling and said in a low voice, "Li Fanghua, a grassroots man, pays his respects to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised and said, "How did you find out?"

The personable Li Fanghua glanced at the accessories on Zhao Dongting's waist, and said, "Your Majesty, you are taking all the empresses with you, and you are also wearing the accessories in the palace. Apart from you, who else can there be in the palace?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "I was a little negligent."

Then neither of them knew what to say.

In fact, if Zhao Dongting was not recognized as the emperor, maybe the two of them could sit in the teahouse.But now, that possibility is no longer possible.

After a few seconds of embarrassment, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you and the ladies?"

Li Fanghua nodded, "Congratulations to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting led the girls and Li Fanghua past.

After walking a few steps, Li Fanghua seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting also turned around.

Li Fanghua walked quickly to Zhao Dongting, and said, "I wonder if there are still generals in the water army formed by the emperor?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly taken aback, "Do you know how to train sailors?"

Li Fanghua said: "Caomin's grandfather was a general of the navy. Caomin has longed for the sea since he was a child, so he is also very interested in naval training."

As he spoke, he looked at his wives, and said: "Caomin's greatest wish is to be able to travel overseas with his wives."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, but frowned slightly, "But you have no experience in leading an army..."

He had a pretty good impression of Li Fanghua, but in the end he only met twice.

Furthermore, even if they are familiar with each other, Zhao Dongting will not let Li Fanghua be the admiral of the navy just because of this, which is too absurd and hasty.

Li Fanghua continued: "The grassroots can join the army first, and start as soldiers."

Zhao Dongting had looked at his wives, and found that there were worried expressions on the faces of his wives at this moment.

Joining the army is not fun, and it is easy to die on the battlefield.

He thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you have a lot of research on navigation, you don't need to join the army."

A look of doubt appeared on Li Fanghua's face.

Zhao Dongting continued: "You know that I have a caravan, and I have been trading with overseas North America for a long time. If you are willing, I am interested in sailing to North America, Africa and Europe. Although the caravan The team may also face pirates, but the danger is much less dangerous than joining the army. You can take all your wives out to sea at the same time, and with the escort of our Song Dynasty navy, you don’t have to worry too much about safety.”

A look of surprise appeared on Li Fanghua's face, "Is there such a caravan?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise, where do you think the peppers and other things were introduced from?"

Li Fanghua was very yearning, "I really want to see what the overseas continents you mentioned, Your Majesty, look like."

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "Actually, I want to see it too."

It's just that he obviously doesn't have the time now.

The Central Plains is undecided, and the Great Song Dynasty is not yet a country that is rich and peaceful.As the emperor, he also lacked skills.

After speaking, he said again: "Think about it, if you want, I can let you lead the caravan to sea."

Li Fanghua didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Caomin is willing."

"Ok!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then you will follow me back to the palace later, and I will discuss this matter with you in detail. It just so happens that Master Wu, the ambassador of the North American Nautical Team, is also in Changsha City. I can ask him to have a detailed chat with you about Sailing overseas. The sea is infinitely wider than the land, and voyages are not as simple as sailing in the coastal waters! Fighting pirates is easy, but the real difficulty is fighting against the bad weather at sea."

The sea trade North America sailing team that Wu Sanhai is in charge of can be said to be an experienced long-distance sailing team, but until now, there are still incidents of merchant ships sinking into the sea.

Li Fanghua repeatedly agreed.

Afterwards, he took several of his wives and followed behind Zhao Dongting and others.

When his wives heard that he was no longer going to join the army, the expressions of worry on their faces were also reduced a lot.

A group of people roamed the streets.

Because of the existence of the Yunjing women, I don't know how many pedestrians on the street have attracted their attention.

Only these things, Zhao Dongting and others, including Li Fanghua and his wives, are already used to it.

There are also a lot of shops on the street.

Even in this kind of weather, there are still many fresh green vegetables on the street stalls selling side dishes.

This made Zhao Dongting very satisfied.

It seems that around the city of Changsha, greenhouse planting has already achieved considerable scale and effectiveness.

These are all "invented" by him in this era.

It was not until evening that Zhao Dongting brought everyone back to the palace.All the girls still seemed to have something to say.

After eating in the palace, Zhao Dongting took Li Fanghua to the imperial study.

His wives stayed in the harem, talking with Le Chan and other girls.

In the imperial study, Zhao Dongting asked Li Fanghua to sit opposite him.Then he spread out a blank sheet of paper in front of him and began to draw.

Soon, a map appeared on the paper.

He pointed to a place on the right side of the map, and said, "This is North America where Ambassador Wu does business."

The finger moved down again, "This is South America."

Then followed by Africa, Australia, Europe and other places.

Li Fanghua stared blankly.

It is hard for people in this era to imagine that the world is so big, and there are such vast continents overseas.

Li Fanghua compared the sizes of the continents, and said, "Your Majesty, are these overseas continents really so much bigger than our Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Exactly. Our Great Song Dynasty seems to have a vast territory now, but in fact, it only occupies one-twelfth of the land in Asia."

Li Fanghua couldn't help swallowing when she heard the words.

Zhao Dongting didn't intend to say more about this, but asked him again: "Africa, South America, Europe, these three continents, where would you like to go?"

Li Fanghua looked at him eagerly, and after some hesitation, he said, "Caomin has no idea in mind. I just want to ask the emperor, if Caomin goes to Europe first, can we change routes to South America, Africa and other places in the future?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Yes."

Li Fanghua is a wonderful person.

Traveling around the world in this era is definitely a very advanced thing.

Li Fanghua laughed, "Let's go to Africa first, the grassroots!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Well, then I will build an African sailing team for you, and you can also recommend talents to join the sailing team."

Then, he called Wu Sanhai into the imperial study.

It's just that he didn't participate in the conversation between Wu Sanhai and Li Fanghua, but only dealt with government affairs on the sidelines.

He has already heard a lot of what Wu Sanhai said and heard in North America.

Today's North America can still be said to be a land of barbarians.The aborigines there still maintain a rather primitive living condition.

Zhao Dongting had instructed Wu Sanhai to build the Great Song City in North America, but the project was huge, and Wu Sanhai's caravan had not yet learned the native language u, so it was never implemented.

Traveling around the world is Li Fanghua's dream.Not necessarily, it is not Zhao Dongting's dream.

Traveling to this era, he also wanted to see what the world looked like.

In my previous life, I was busy making money and career.In this life, what he wants to do most is to make up for the shortcomings of his previous life.

In this way, the European ambassador of Dasong Maritime Trade was settled.

It's fate, it's God's will.
