1191. European Ambassadors

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly: "Brother Tai, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”

The man was stunned slightly, and then said, "Yes?" ”

Zhao Dongting replied: "In the next meeting of Longhu Mountain, Brother Tai has forgotten?" ”

The man frowned slightly, thought about it very hard, and finally recalled Zhao Dongting, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a brother." ”

Then his eyes swept over the beautiful and fragrant Yunjing and other women behind Zhao Dongting, and his smile was even thicker, "It seems that my brother has also figured it out." ”

There were also a few women behind him, his ladies.

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

Zhao Dongting looked at the happy and sweet faces of the ladies behind him, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Brother Tai's order." ”

He especially remembered that at that time, this man compared words such as dotted lips to women.

At this time, the man was about to kneel on the ground suddenly, "grass people ......"

Zhao Dongting's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stopped him and gave him a look.

The man understood, so he no longer knelt, and only said in a low voice: "Grass man Li Fanghua pays a visit to the emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised: "How do you see it?" ”

The personable Li Fanghua swept his eyes over the accessories on Zhao Dongting's waist, and said: "Your Majesty, you are traveling with all the ladies and women, and you are bringing the accessories in the palace, who else can there be in the palace except you?" ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "It's my negligence." ”

Then neither of them knew what to say.

In fact, if you don't recognize Zhao Dongting as the emperor, maybe the two of them can go to the teahouse to sit. But now, that is no longer possible.

After about a few seconds of embarrassment, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb Mrs. Hezhong?" ”

Li Fanghua nodded, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting took the women and Li Fanghua to staggered by.

After only a few steps, Li Fanghua seemed to have made up her mind suddenly, and suddenly turned around, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Dongting also turned around.

Li Fanghua walked quickly to Zhao Dongting and said, "I don't know if there are still generals in the naval army formed by the emperor?" ”

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, "Will you train a water army?" ”

Li Fanghua said: "The grandfather of the grass people is the general of the navy. The grass people, who have longed for the sea since they were young, are also quite hunting for naval training. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his women and said, "The grass people's greatest wish is to be able to travel overseas countries with a few wives. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly, "But I don't have any experience in leading an army......

He has a very good impression of Li Fanghua, but after all, he has only met twice.

Moreover, even if he is familiar with it, Zhao Dongting will not let Li Fanghua serve as a naval admiral just because of this, which is too absurd and hasty.

Li Fanghua said: "Grass people can enlist in the army first, starting from soldiers. ”

Zhao Dongting looked at several of his wives and found that at this moment, several of his wives had worried looks on their faces.

Joining the army is not fun, and you can easily die on the battlefield.

He thought for a moment 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: "It can be seen that I have a seafaring caravan, and at this time I have been trading with overseas North America for a long time. If I wished, I would like to sail to North America, Africa, and Europe. Seafaring caravans may face pirates, but they are much less dangerous than those of an army. You can take all the ladies to sea at the same time, and with our Great Song Navy escort, you don't have to worry too much about safety. ”

A look of surprise instantly appeared on Li Fanghua's face, "There is still such a caravan?" ”

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Of course there is, otherwise where did the chili peppers and other things come from?" ”

Li Fanghua was very yearning, "I really want to see what these overseas continents you are talking about, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Dongting sighed lightly, "Actually, I also want to go and see." ”

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

The Central Plains is undecided, and the Great Song Dynasty is not yet a rich country and a peaceful people. He, the emperor, is also lacking in skills.

As he spoke, he added, "Think about it, if you want, I can lead the caravan to sea." ”

Li Fanghua didn't think about it, and replied directly: "The grass people are willing." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then I will follow me back to the palace later, and I will discuss this matter with you carefully." It just so happened that the ambassador of the North American Navigation Team, Lord Wu, was also in Changsha City, and I could announce him and talk to him about the overseas voyage. The sea is vastly wider than the land, and long-distance sailing is not as easy as sailing near the sea. It's easy to fight pirates, but it's hard to fight the bad weather at sea. ”

Wu Sanhai's North American Maritime Trade Team can be said to be an experienced voyage team, but until this time, there were still incidents of merchant ships sinking into the sea.

Li Fanghua agreed again and again.

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

When his wives heard that he would not join the army again, the look of worry on their faces was also reduced a lot.

A group of people wandered through the streets.

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

That's all, Zhao Dongting and others, including Li Fanghua and his wives, have long been used to it.

The shops on the street are also dazzling.

Even in such weather, there are still many fresh green vegetables on the street stalls.

This made Zhao Dongting very satisfied.

It seems that around this Changsha City, greenhouse planting has been quite large-scale and effective.

This was all "invented" by him in this era.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Zhao Dongting took everyone back to the palace. All the women still have some unfinished looks.

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

Several of his wives stayed in the harem and talked to Le Chan and other women.

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

Soon, a map popped up on the paper.

He pointed to a place on the right side of the map and said, "This is the North America that Ambassador Wu trades with." ”

Finger down again, "This is South America." ”

Then there are Africa, Australia, Europe and other places.

Li Fanghua was stunned.

It is difficult for people in this era to imagine that the world is so big, and there is such a vast continent overseas.

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

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

Li Fanghua couldn't help but swallow when she heard this.

Zhao Dongting didn't plan to say more in this regard, but only asked him again: "Africa, South America, Europe, these three continents, where are you willing to go?" ”

Li Fanghua looked at him with blank eyes, and after a few hesitations, he said, "The grass people don't have an idea in their hearts. I just ask the emperor, if the grass people go to Europe first, can they change routes to South America, Africa and other places in the future? ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Yes." ”

Li Fanghua is a wonderful person.

In this era, it is definitely a very advanced thing to travel around the world.

Li Fanghua smiled, "Then the grass people will go to Africa first!" ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Well, then in order to build an African navigation team, I can also recommend talents to the navigation team." ”

Then, he called Wu Sanhai to the imperial study.

He did not participate in the dialogue between Wu Sanhai and Li Fanghua, but only handled government affairs on the side.

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

Today's North America can still be said to be a barbarian land. The aborigines there still maintain a rather primitive state of life.

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

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

Traveling to this era, he also wants to see what the world is really like.

In my previous life, I was busy earning money and busy with my 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 the Great Song Haimao is decided.

It can be regarded as fate and providence.
