When they arrived at the port, there was an uninvited guest under their official ship, the English minister. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info he was also waiting there, together with the officials in Tianjin, to see off Zeng Fan.

"Dear Earl, congratulations on your canonization." When he saw Zeng Fan, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. That expression made Zeng Fan feel that he had won the knighthood, and he was even more excited than himself.

"Thank you!" Zeng Fan still nodded lightly, and motioned for someone to send Li Ping on the boat first, but he didn't show much emotion at the minister's sudden overture.

Zeng Fan knew that even in the hearts of these foreigners, officials and titles were completely different concepts, especially these people from civilian backgrounds, who were proud to be canonized by the king. The information that came back was that the minister had been seeking a knighthood, but had not been able to do so.

"Well, Lord Earl went to Fujian this time, is that your fiefdom?" The minister asked a question that Zeng Fan felt speechless, this person is known as a China expert, but he doesn't even know this? At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, the fiefdom policy had been abolished.

"What's the matter with you? China pays attention to auspicious times, and there is time to sail ships. Zeng Fan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, looking at him coldly. On weekdays, this one has a translator, and now he actually speaks lame official words and coldly announces to him, what does this mean?

"Oh, no, I'm just here to send you out of Beijing, I wish you ...... Thousands of miles! When he said the latter word, he couldn't help but glance at the interpreter, and it was easy to remember the word.

Zeng Fan smiled, decided not to talk nonsense, nodded to him, thanked him, and was ready to get on the boat.

"By the way, Lord Earl, how can you generally obtain the title of your country?" The one hurriedly stepped forward and coughed lightly, and the latter sentence was so quiet that only Zeng Fan could hear it, and he said it quickly. This sentence slipped a lot, obviously he has been practicing for a long time. 'China Tong' is not called in vain, after this minister has some money and status, he has been seeking the road to nobility as Zeng Fan knows. A title, a fief representing a title, is full of incomparable temptation in his heart.

Many of the common gold diggers like him in India and in the broken places of Malay received the title of knight from the king there, and passed it back to the country, even if Her Majesty did not recognize it, but they were also knights. He suddenly thought that if he was canonized by the emperor of China, would he be able to get the corresponding respect when he went back?

So, he also used his brain. He did ask some Chinese officials who followed him. The answers are varied, but the emperor here is still different from the earth kings, and it seems that he can hardly really use the power of the empire to force them to give him a knighthood.

Just when he was struggling with his brain, it turned out that this Chinese official, who had never bought his own account, was already an earl, which made him really envious and jealous. But this was the only civilian official he knew who had been knighted, and he had to come and test it.

Zeng Fan's eyes widened and he looked at this. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give him a conscientious suggestion, "Personally, I recommend that you go to India better." ”

The minister was stunned and took a step back. The surprise in his heart for Zeng Fan went further. He knew what he wanted, and he knew what they were up to, and even what they were doing in India. Then this person is really terrible. If it is said that Lord Lin was the one who opened his eyes to the world more than ten years ago, then this person has already seen everything.

"Alright, I'm up in time, Minister, and I hope I'll see you again sometime." Zeng Fan smiled and stretched out his right hand to the minister. A handshake is a Western etiquette, while China is a handshake. Zeng Fan didn't like to shake hands, but he felt that it would hurt the national body to make a fool of foreigners, so he slowly developed a habit, stretched out his right hand reservedly, waited for someone to shake it, and then withdrew it. It's better than letting him bend over. Of course, in this way, foreigners also like it, and feel that there are finally officials who have learned to be civilized.

"Yes, I hope to see you again." The minister put down his civilization stick and respectfully stretched out his right hand to Zeng Fan.

This made the local officials who came to see him off also surprised, and immediately raised the height of Zeng Fan, the emperor, to another level, and won the respect of Lord Yang, they unconsciously straightened their waists a little, of course, after Zeng Fan got on the boat, when the minister turned back, their newly straightened waists bent down again.

And Li Ping on the boat is also very busy, the gifts sent have gift lists, she has to pack them out, classify them, and have already said that these are to be used to buy guns for the new sailor, and she can't slack off. Waiting for Zeng Fan to come up, she was still busy.

"A lot of things?" Zeng Fan frowned again, even if he wanted to use these things to buy guns, but there were more things, it also meant that these officials were all richer than him, and the country was like this, and they could still give a lot of gifts, how could it not be chilling.

"Well, just now the officials in Tianjin sent some more, and I packed up the worthless specialties and prepared to go to Fujian as a ceremonial journey. Valuable things, I just hastily divided, and I have to think about how to use them when I look back. You go back and ask Brother Hao to wait for us in Fujian, I have a new idea. Li Ping tapped her head gently.

"What do you think?"

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Since we're going to buy guns, why not make our own arsenal? Li Ping looked at Zeng Fan.

"Then we have to be a steel mill first." Zeng Fan frowned, he also thought about doing it, but, seeing so many things, he finally retreated.

"Then do it, always do it, start now." Li Ping nodded, not caring. Li Ping has been doing business all these years, but she has to do it when she thinks about it, she never supports anything and thinks slowly, things must start first, so that she has no way out, and then she will work hard to do it. If you can't even open your head, talk about what to do.

"How can it be that simple...... Maybe you're right, we should do it first, even if there are difficulties, it's always easier to solve than you think. Zeng Fan originally wanted to say that there might be problems, but after thinking about it again, no matter what, he did it first, he did it slowly, at least he was doing it. People in the future may be able to make it a little easier.

"Yes, let's do it first, even if we can't see results in this life, we must always see hope for future generations and see that we are doing it." Li Ping smiled, she may not be good enough for the children, but she believes in her own education for the children, and they all have the courage to do things like this.

"Yes, that's what Hai'er wants to learn, let's do it first, this kid is almost good at development, but it's not bad to do practical things." Zeng Fan nodded, thinking that the person who said that it was difficult was An Hai, and now he thinks that he can build the stall first, but he can let the children come back and practice.

"So in addition to daring to think, but also dare to do!" Li Ping laughed and teased her husband.

"Well, that foreigner just now dared to think and dare to do it, and wanted to get a knighthood from the imperial court to go back." Zeng Fan thought of the minister.

"It's not that you can't use it." Li Ping tilted her head and thought about it, her eyes narrowing.

A small blood clot suddenly filled with his eyes the morning before yesterday, and he thought he had high blood pressure. Later, I found out that it was just a fundus hemorrhage, which would disappear in two days, and I was scared to death. Is it that when you get older, all kinds of problems have come?
