The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 414 Farewell

Walk out of the gate of Chanfukuji Temple.Ouyang Jianqing said: "Young master. I didn't expect that Master Lianzhen speaks such a standard Sichuan dialect. He is from Sichuan."

jerry.Polo lived on Chengdu Fulu for a while.He also followed suit and praised: "Not bad. His Sichuan dialect is very authentic."

I shook my head slightly and said: "I don't know if Lian is really from Sichuan. When I saw him last time, he spoke fluent northern dialect. This monk Lianzhen is not only proficient in medical skills, but also good at physiognomy. Since I placed the order here Since then, the incense of Yanfu Temple has become more and more prosperous. I didn't expect that he can't even speak..."

Seeing me, Fang Ling suddenly stopped talking.Quickly asked: "Brother, what's the matter. Is there anything wrong?"

Ancient times are not like later generations.High mobility.There are many people who are proficient in two or three dialects.The most commonly used mandarin has a very low popularization rate among the people.And the most important thing is.Lianzhen can speak Sichuan dialect.

"Linger. I suddenly remembered something."

I remember Tian Jing, the leader of the Miao Village, once said to me.Before Wen Tianxiang went to Xiangxi to deal with the Miao-Han disputes.The monk who healed people in Miao Village spoke an authentic Sichuan dialect.

"It looks like a walker. It is tall and handsome. The accent is a typical Sichuan dialect." These points Tian Jing said are completely consistent with Yanfu Temple's Lianzhen.This can't be just a coincidence.

Yanfu Temple.The law number was reinstated.Isn't the reverse of the word "Yanfu" means re-extension?

So far.I hurriedly ordered: "Xiaoqi, you go to the Ethnic Affairs Department immediately. Ask Tian Zuiyan. Has he ever seen the wandering monk who haunted the Miao Village mentioned by the head of Tian Jing? After asking, go to the same office Lelou is looking for us."

"Yes, my lord."

After Xiao Qi left.I said to Ouyang Jianqing and Jerry, who were puzzled, "This monk may be related to a certain case. Mr. Jerry. Ouyang Jianqing. If you are free at night, come with us to Tonglelou. Let's take it for granted." Mr. Jerry farewell."

Jerry smiled and said, "Okay. It's better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you, Mr. Huyan."

Ouyang Jianqing also said: "Yes, young master."

I call them to dinner.With or without if.They will go.Even if they really have a big deal.

"Hehe. Let's go. Go directly to Tongle Building."

When we reached the Tongle Building.It happened to be evening.Tongle Lou is still doing a brisk business.It happened to be dinner time again.In front of the door, there are already many people waiting for their seats while nibbling melon seeds.

Good thing we don't have to queue.From the back door, go directly to the Tianzi No. [-] room on the second floor.Fang Ling, who is in charge of ordering dishes, is very proficient in this.Quickly ordered four cold dishes without looking at the menu.Six hot dishes and a bottle of Chinese Royal Yee.

The guys in the store all know us.Serve with cold vegetables and tea.Pour good wine.With a smile all over his face, he said, "My lord. Please use it slowly."

"En. Go get busy." I motioned the guy to leave and said. "Everyone. Eat. Mr. Jerry. Please."

"Thank you sir."

I took a sip of my wine.Firstly, he said: "Ouyang Jianqing. How are the personnel and route arrangements for the giant ship's maiden voyage?"

"Return to my son. For the sake of keeping a low profile. This time, the Shenzhou will make its maiden voyage in the name of a merchant ship. The captain will be personally appointed by Ruan Sicong, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet. All the [-] soldiers on board will appear in the form of ordinary guards. There will also be some merchants. And their cargo will go with the ship. At the same time, ten scholars from Lin'an University will also accompany them for scientific investigation. The Shenzhou will set off from me to the southern waters. According to the map drawn by the son. Westward to the Indian Peninsula. Pass through The Suez Canal in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. To Europe where Mr. Jerry is."

"Ruan Sicong has rich experience. He is at the helm. In addition, the Shenzhou is equipped with my latest compass, artillery and other firearms. The sailing direction and the safety of the shore along the way should not be hindered. Ouyang Jianqing. Tell Ruan Sicong after you go back. Safety first. If there is an irresistible problem, return immediately. Also, if you encounter someone who treats me badly, you can just try the power of the artillery."

"Yes, my lord."

Finish talking with Ouyang Jianqing.I raised my glass and said, "Mr. Jerry. I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you, young master." Jerry drank it all in one gulp.

"Good drinker." I praised casually.

jerry.Polo's drinking capacity is really good.Even if it is the Chinese Yuye with a very high degree.It also seems to be out of the question.This kind of drinking capacity is different from Yuan Ji and others who have profound internal skills.You must know that Jerry does not have the slightest internal skills.While drinking.Jerry said at the same time: "Mr. Huyan. This Chinese imperial liquid is delicious. I bought more than ten bottles specially. This time I will bring it back to Venice. As a gift, I will give it to the nobles of Venice and my relatives and friends. If my subordinates As expected. There should be a market for this kind of high-strength baijiu in our place. Young Master, we also have a similar distilled liquor. The strength is about the same as that of Zhonghua Yuye. It is called..."

The voice did not fall.I blurted out, "Whiskey."

Jerry said in a daze, "Mr. Huyan. How do you know about whiskey?"

I smiled: "Mr. Jerry. You can vigorously promote our products when you go back this time. There are a lot of new items in my dynasty. Many of them are ahead of the world. They are even unique. Mr. Jerry. You can Bring more samples back. If you don’t have enough money, you can go to Shifeng to get it first.”

"Then how can it be. Subordinates are rewarded for nothing."

"Mr. Jerry, so be it. Even if I cooperate with you to do business. If these samples can attract businessmen from your place to come to me to make transactions. It will be profitable. Even if no businessmen come, it can be regarded as Advertising."

Jerry thought about it.He said bluntly, "Okay. It's feasible." Jerry was originally a businessman.Sensitivity to the market is not weak.For this.I totally believe it.What's more.Jerry will also recruit Western talent for me.I offer him some samples of the goods.Nothing will lose money.

"I'll tell Xiao Tian later. You can withdraw as much as you like."

"Thank you, Mr. Huyan. This subordinate is going to buy monosodium glutamate, hard pens, magnifying glasses, tea, porcelain, silk and other goods. These may be very big business. I estimate that there should be many Venetian merchants at the same time." The subordinates came to Lai'an to discuss business."

I said "Yes".Said: "This is a good thing. I welcome the legitimate trade of legitimate businessmen. It will also protect the legal interests of businessmen. Of course. Don't carry relevant prohibited items with you."

Jerry smiled and said: "The subordinates know. You can't do anything that violates the laws of Fan Da Song."

"Mr. Jerry, I'm very clear about the current situation. I'm afraid I can't give you a lot of time for this long journey. After the big ship Shenzhou arrives in Venice, I can only give you ten days. No problem."

"no problem."

"Okay." I raised my glass. "Come on. Have another drink."

Hundreds of years after the Song Dynasty.Westerners have extracted a lot of our silver with opium and cannon.Now I just exchange MSG, white wine and other items for the gold and silver in their hands.It is very kind.

Since 1405.Zheng He led the fleet on seven voyages to the West.It is the first in the history of Chinese navigation.Even in the history of world navigation, it also occupies a leading position.now.I advanced this feat by over 100 years.The Western powers conquered colonies by relying on the Armada.I'm going to advance this history.Although I don't want to dominate.But overseas trade can be developed.Spread Chinese civilization.

"Jianqing. This maiden voyage is just an attempt. So only the Shenzhou is traveling alone. Be sure to let them be very careful. This long-distance voyage not only needs to improve sailing skills and increase sailing experience. Master marine knowledge. It also requires Cultivate the courage and adventurous spirit of our Song people. After finding out the situation along the way, we can form a huge fleet and go on a long journey again. At that time, we can show our country's prestige."

"Yes. My subordinates obey."

when we were about to finish eating.Xiaoqi hurried to the Tongle Building.

"Young master. Tian Zuiyan said. He has never seen that wandering monk with his own eyes."

I thought for a while and said, "Xiaoqi. You arrange a clever painter. Tomorrow, I will go to Yanfu Temple. I will secretly remember the appearance of Monk Lianzhen. When I come back, I will draw it according to my memory. Then I will put the portrait at [-] yuan." Send it to the Miao village in Lijia urgently. Let Tian Jingtou identify it."

"Yes, my lord."

"Also. Ask Jin Yiwei to investigate the details of Yanfu Temple. If there is something wrong with Lian, then Yanfu Temple must be involved. Alright, Xiaoqi. You have something to eat first."

Since receiving the battle report from the Sichuan Military Region in mid-February.late March.I have received the second battle report for this year.Battle report from the Xiangyang Military Region.

During the court meeting.Lu Xiufu said with joy, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu Wende of the Xiangyang Military Region reported it. In early March, the Mongolian army invaded Fangzhou in the west of Xiangyang. Our army, led by Li Jian of Zhifang Prefecture and generals Du Rulong and Xia Xi, successfully repelled the invading army. enemy."

"Okay. Very good. Lu Aiqing. Read the key points of the battle report to all Ai Qings."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xiufu read aloud. "March 800th. Under the leadership of two thousand commanders, two thousand Mongolian and gold mixed soldiers launched an attack on Longguangzhai under our jurisdiction in Fangzhou (now Fangxian County, Hubei Province). Du Rulong, the guard of Longguangzhai, organized Five hundred defenders and the people resisted. On the one hand, they asked for help in Fangzhou. After receiving the news, Master Li Jian of Fangzhou and General Xia Xi, the defense of Fangzhou, led [-] soldiers under their command to Longguangzhai. The battle lasted all day and night. Our army attacked Repelled the four attacks of the Mongolian army. Successfully defended Longguangzhai, an important military area in Fangzhou. In this battle, our army suffered [-] casualties. It is estimated that more than [-] enemies will be injured."

"Okay. Pass on my will. Reward Li Jian, Du Rulong, Xia Xi and all the Fangzhou Army. My dear friends. Recently, the Mongols have launched two small-scale attacks in a row. This kind of attack is not painful. What is its purpose? Moreover. The soldiers sent in the two consecutive attacks were all Han soldiers in the Mongolian army. The Mongolians and the Semu people in the Western Regions were basically unmoved. Lu Aiqing. How does your Military Council think about it?"
