"Thank you very much!" Baron Quasimodo was a little humble, and actually sat down like this, and after sitting down, he actually looked left and right, smiled frequently, and nodded to the eunuchs, palace 'women', retinues and 'attendants' of the guards standing next to him.

Everyone present was stunned, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him. The magnitude of the nerves of this French ambassador is truly amazing.

Wang Shirong, who was accompanying the 'attendant', couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty, the foreign minister dares to be so rude, and he really deceives me, no one in China ......"

"No, no!" Lin Feng knew that this young man named Quasimodo had no malicious intent, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, the people who meet the king over there are a little different from us." ”

Wang Shirong suddenly became angry and depressed for a long time, before he smiled bitterly: "How does Your Majesty know that this person is not deliberately belittling my court and ministers, and taking the opportunity of humiliating China to promote the prestige of the other country?!" ”

"No, no," Lin Feng felt a little impatient at this time, these guys are really endless, they said that people didn't mean it, is it necessary to catch people's little feet so much?

There was a hint of anger on his face, and he slammed the tea bowl hard, "Ji Yun, people are guests from afar, I don't know our Chinese etiquette, there are them, they are different from that Spain, and we are not enemies, so we might as well amplify our strength a little bit, don't worry about it, lest people go out and say that we stick to the old rules and stick to the rules." ”

Seeing that Lin Feng was a little moved, Wang Shirong suddenly softened, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Shengming!" ……”

"Quasimodo, this is my small 'flower' garden," turning his head to look at Quasimodo, Lin Feng changed into other clothes with a kind expression, "Your Excellency is an ambassador of a country, I didn't receive you at the right court meeting, Your Excellency won't have any opinions, right?!" ”

"Of course not! - Your Majesty, Quasimodo is willing to obey any of your orders! Quasimodo bowed down from his chair and smiled, "Actually, I personally think that it is much more pleasant to be seen by His Majesty in such a small garden of 'flowers' with elegant style, soft decoration, and oriental style than to meet him on a formal occasion......

He swept the table, the dishes on the small table in front of him were 'fine', and the wine was 'wave', he couldn't help but move his index finger, and smiled at Lin Feng, "If you don't think it's abrupt - Your Majesty, I guess you want to treat us as friends, and it's not the same as that damn Spanish fat man, is that so?" Dear Your Majesty?! ”

Lin Feng gently slapped the table and gave him a thumbs up, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

"Please drink!" Lin Feng picked up his glass and greeted Quasimodo, "Quasimodoqing, this kind of wine is a new wine brewed in Guizhou, China, the year before last, the inventor gave it a name, called 'Moutai', after it was produced, it was widely popular in my country, you came from afar, you might as well taste it?!" ”

"Oh! Thank you......" Quasimodo hurriedly picked up his glass and took a big sip, the wine in his throat, but he couldn't help frowning.

"What?!" Lin Feng was a little surprised, thinking that Moutai was so good back then, but no foreigner who drank it didn't say it was good, would he not like it? ! He asked with concern, "Isn't it delicious?" Still not to your taste?! ”

"No, no...... This ......" Quasimodo hesitated slightly, still feeling the need to lie about it, and nodded in acknowledgement, "Indeed...... Your Majesty...... Maybe it's a little unaccustomed......" he smiled wryly, "I'm very sorry, but ......"

Lin Feng and Wang Shirong glanced at each other and laughed, "It's okay, it's okay." Lin Feng waved his hand and put down his wine glass, "I heard that your French dinner is also very good, but it's a pity that I can't eat it!" ”

"Oh?! This is not a problem, Your Majesty! Quasimodo said seriously, "We can immediately choose a chef for you in the French royal palace, and it is their honor to 'serve' a great monarch like you!" ”

"Thank you very much!" Lin Feng nodded, turned his head to Li Ergou next to him and ordered: "You go back and talk about it, recruit a few skilled masters, if they are willing, give them more silver, and send them to France to cook for Louis XIV, let's go back and forth, we can't take advantage of others!" ”

Lear Gou bowed solemnly and said, "Obey!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, our king will be very happy!" Quasimodo suddenly felt a little funny, now the two seem to be mainly discussing the food of the two countries, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not at all like the European and Australian 'gates', and it is not difficult to get along.

"Brother Louis XIV is well?!" Lin Feng leaned back in his chair and asked casually, "I heard that his brother has been fighting all these years, you know, fighting is a physical job, in fact, I and Brother Louie are also peers, and in our business, there is no dirty work, not much hard work, but there is a lot of tiring work, and the most terrible thing is that there are a lot of 'women' around him all the time, so if you don't take good care of your body, I'm afraid you won't last long!" ”

Quasimodo's face was strange, and it was common for the kings of the two countries to greet each other, but such a greeting was indeed relatively rare.

He thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't know how to respond. You must know that the question is now about the work of kings and emperors and 'sexuality', and in this respect, it is really difficult for him as a baron to express any high opinion on behalf of Louis XIV.

Looking at this European guy's smiling smiling, he was silent. Lin Feng smiled, "You came here with that Spanish fat man this time, how do you feel about that guy?!" ”

There is a hidden sentence in this sentence, and the translator next to him made a mistake for the first time, Quasimodo was startled, and did not understand why the Chinese emperor cared so much about the appearance of Count Kefir, until the translator woke up and re-translated it, and he reacted, it turned out that he was asking about his personal impression of the Spanish ambassador.

This is a semi-formal political dialogue: the Han Empire and Spain are currently at war, and France must take a stand here.

Quasimodo smiled and said cautiously, "Frankly, I don't like that beer keg, and even a little hateful - but, my dear majesty, you know, I'm just an outsider." Officer, and my personal attitude does not speak for France, regarding the war in Spain and the Han Empire, France expresses concern and regret about this, and will remain cautious and neutral, this is a very serious and very important matter, I am sorry that I answer you in such a serious tone, but as an envoy to the East and France, my duty can only allow me to answer like this——"

He bowed slightly towards Lin Feng, "I'm very sorry if you feel unhappy, but here, I still hope for your understanding!" ”

"Beautiful!" Lin Feng secretly admired in his heart, at first he thought that this beautiful European boy was just a 'flower' and 'flower' shelf, but he didn't expect that the other party still really had some skills. At least there is no ambiguity on the major issues of right and wrong.

"It's normal!" Lin Feng nodded, and changed his words, "But I feel strange that I and my country have never had any 'intersection' with your country, I don't know why Brother Louie suddenly sent Your Excellency to our country this time!" ”

He looked around and said with a smirk, "Honestly, I really can't guess what you mean!" ”

Baron Quasimodo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I must admit that I came too abruptly, and I was simply an uninvited guest......" He shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile, "According to the normal procedure, the country should first send a message to you through a third country, and only after a certain procedure of communication will the envoy be sent, but you know that we are so far away that many things cannot be carried out in the usual way," he looked at Lin Feng, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but can you understand what I mean?!" ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Lin Feng nodded in understanding, "I understand very well, okay, then let me guess here, is the reason why your country sent envoys to the Han Empire related to the Han and Western Wars that took place in 1687?!" ”

"Exactly!" Quasimodo did not shy away from admiring, "The tenacity and bravery of your army, your country's advanced military equipment and combat skills, have shocked the whole of Europe, and many scholars in our country have even asserted that you may be one of the greatest figures in the world in this century, at least one of your decisions has changed the history of the world, so that the whole West can clearly 'touch' the East!" ”

Although he was already trying his best to restrain himself, Lin Feng still couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and said with a smile, "Where, where, small things, isn't it just an expedition, why worry about it?!" ”

Quasimodo didn't understand the oriental politeness, and corrected seriously: "Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, this incident is destined to go down in history, at least for hundreds of years to come, whether it is political, military, or in the field of historical research or cultural 'exchange', do you know?!" The first king of the West to advance to the East was Alexander, who inaugurated an era; And you were the first king of the East to attack the West, so we, His Majesty King Louis XIV of France, believe that you are also destined to usher in an era! ”

He lowered his head and did not make eye contact with Lin Feng as a sign of respect, "Through that war on the Iberian Peninsula, our King Louis XIV determined that in the far east, there is a great king who leads a great country, so France, which dominates European politics, must have a far-sighted vision and establish foreign 'relations' with this great monarch!" ”

Lin Feng smiled, "Thanks for the compliment, but the first king in the East to attack the West was not me, but Temujin...... Or the Kuowotai or the like, in short, it can't be ranked in the ranks, it seems that the Louis XIV brother really looks up to the younger brother! ”

Quasimodo smiled, "Your Majesty, if you want to arrange the order of the nations of the world, there is no doubt that you are the one who controls the present era. ”

I love to hear this, Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Hehe, how can you see it?!! ”

"Your Majesty, this time I came to the Han Empire, I walked from Dengzhou City in Shandong Province to Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province, and saw at least 50,000 army corps, they are 'fine' in equipment, sufficient in training, and strict in military appearance, which is only seen in my life, and what is even more amazing is that you can have more than one such a legion, not far away in Jiangxi, Hubei and even the distant northwest and Tatar steppes, you have many such 'elite' elite legions," Quasimodo said sincerely, "There is no need to hide it, Your Majesty, in today's world, your country is well-deserved as the number one power in the army!! ”

Lin Feng shook his head, "Quasimodo, if you let Brother Louis XIV hear this, it will definitely be unhappy, as far as I know, your country and the Kingdom of France have always been known for their strong army, and when it comes to military strength, we may not be stronger than you!" ”

Quasimodo laughed, "Maybe it's all about the same," he spread his hands, "and that's why we're going to be partners, and you don't want your friend to be a weak little country, do you?!" ”

"Of course!" Lin Feng waved his hand, no longer going around, and said straightforwardly: "Then, Quasimodoqing, you might as well just say it directly, what does Brother Louis want me to do?!" ”

"Oh God Almighty," Quasimodo said in astonishment, "Your Majesty, your honesty and straightforwardness are astonishing!! ”

He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "But France can't and doesn't have the right to ask a person as great as you to do anything, what we hope is to establish a formal extraterritorial 'relationship' with the great and powerful Han Empire!" ”

"Very well, that's what I thought!" Lin Feng nodded, but he didn't think that Quasimodo's intention was just that.

"Also...... In addition to this, we also hope to cooperate closely with the Han Empire in the financial field! ......" Quasimodo glanced at Lin Feng secretly, and took Lin Feng to look this way, but hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "I hope to get His Majesty's promise!" ”

"Financial ?!!" Lin Feng was taken aback, and said in amazement, "Brother Louie means ......"

At this time, he is really a little 'confused', is it difficult for Yi 14 to open a bank in China or something?!

"Oh! ......" Baron Quasimodo seemed to be a little shy, and he didn't promise for a long time before he whispered, "Your Majesty, your country's silk, porcelain, tea, and some botanical 'medicine' products are very popular in Europe, do you know?!" ”

"Of course!" Lin Fenghu looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but be a little more vigilant, you must know that these imperialists don't have a good thing, don't accidentally get into their trap.

He straightened up and stared at Quasimodo tightly, "You want to buy these goods?!" ”

"Yes...... Oh, but not as you think," Quasimodo thought for a moment and explained, "Our king, His Majesty King Louis XIV, mean that you can transfer to us the right to sell your country's goods in Europe?!" ”

"What ?!!" Lin Feng was taken aback, wouldn't he? The difficult road Yi 14 also crossed?! In this era, he knows how to play transnational agency?!

"Oh! …… And we mean ...... As you know, we in France, like yours, have a very strong navy, but we are very hungry for ocean trade," Quasimodo smiled bitterly, "So, in order to solve this problem, we hope that we can solve this headache through some form of cooperation and cooperation!" ”

"Oh, so what's your solution?! ……”

"Your Majesty, our suggestion is that we, that is, the Kingdom of France, are willing to sign a trade treaty with your country, and the approximate way of trade is that we will directly pay a certain amount of money according to the local market price in the ports of your country, such as Guangdong, Fujian, Dengzhou, etc., and then use our own merchant ships, or hire merchant ships from third countries, to transport them to the European continent for sale, and then pay the rest of the land in full to your country after the sales are completed...... "Your Majesty, if you do this, The two countries have a lot less unnecessary intermediaries in trade, and a lot of profit loss has been reduced, what do you think?! ”

Lin Feng looked at Quasimodo in a daze, looked straight at it for a long time, and saw that this handsome European guy was 'hairy', and suddenly laughed, raised his hand, and pointed to his nose, "Quasimodo, do you think I am a fool?!" ”

"Oh...... My God! Baron Quasimodo was so frightened that he stood up in a panic and bowed in apology, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor, if there is anything that makes you angry about my proposal just now, please forgive me!" ”

"It's not that you're angry," Lin Feng waved his hand, "So, you want to get the exclusive European sales rights of these Chinese products, isn't that so?!" ”

Quasimodo thought for a moment and nodded, "Your wisdom is incomparable, my esteemed majesty!" ”

"Then did you know that this is going to war?!" Lin Feng said sarcastically, "At least the Dutch and the English will be the first to jump out against it, and they will start a war against your French transport fleet!" ”

"Yes, we expected it, but we in the Kingdom of France don't think it's a big deal," said Baron Quasimodo proudly, "at least in Europe, the French Army is invincible, and anyone should consider what terrible consequences it would be to 'provoke' the great French people!" ”

"I don't think there is any consequence, if there is a consequence, it is that the entire route from East Asia, the South Sea, the Indian Ocean, the African Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and even the North Sea will be a pot of porridge," Lin Feng shook his head a little puzzled, "I heard that Louis XIV is also a hero, did he never consider it all when formulating national policies?!" ”

Baron Quasimodo was a little embarrassed, although Lin Feng was speculating just now, but it was not far from the truth, the current King of France, Louis XIV, was indeed the first madman in Europe, in the years after he took the throne, France was at war almost every moment, and a dozen were more than half a century, sometimes almost at the same time with several countries, or even with the whole of Europe, it can be said that the current European continent, there are very few countries that have not fought with the French.

The only good news is that France won the battle and won European hegemony, albeit at the cost of political bankruptcy.

Seeing that Quasimodo was embarrassed and speechless, Lin Feng softened his tone and said gently, "And the most important thing is that I don't think that my country and people can get any benefits from this policy, Quasimodo, compared to you, you also know that at present, my country's goods are in short supply, and I don't have to worry that no one will come to the 'door' to buy!" ”

"This ......" Quasimodo thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and revealed the final team, "Your Majesty, in fact, our political plan is that if the other countries of Europe feel that they cannot accept this bilateral agreement, then we in France can also make certain compromises, for example: we can sell them a certain share of agency sales to avoid a direct outbreak of war!" ”

"Yes, in fact, I can guess that you France may be worried that you France will not be able to 'interfere' in the ocean trade now, so you will come up with such a reckless trick," Lin Feng patted the table, laughed, and shook his head, "But Quasimodo, this matter is not something that I can agree to if I say yes." ”

He looked at Baron Quasimodo with a smile and explained seriously, "In today's world, a country's position in the global trade circle, as well as the colonies, spheres of influence, and market share that he can control, are most closely and directly related to that country's naval power, frankly, you French ......" he pointed to himself, "...... It also includes our Han Empire, although it has an invincible army on land, but on the ocean, it does not have such a ability for the time being! ”

Baron Quasimodo hurriedly distinguished, "But Your Majesty, reality is reality, and hard work is hard work—don't you want to change this status quo?" If we still don't dare to make any efforts now, how can it be possible to change in the future?! ”

"I am not optimistic about the prospects of this cooperation," Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "and I also feel that my country and people have not benefited from this matter!" ”

Quasimodo shook his head, "I'm sure I'll be able to benefit, and right away!" He raised his head suddenly, met Shanglin Feng's surprised gaze, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is a sharp conflict between your country and the Kingdom of Spain over the territorial sovereignty of Luzon, is this true?!" ”

Lin Feng restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes, and looked directly at Quasimodo, his gaze sharp, like substance, "Not bad, but so what?!" ”

"This is the direct reason for the conclusion of the treaty between the Han Empire and the Kingdom of France!"

Baron Quasimodo met Lin Feng's gaze, stared awe-inspiringly, and did not flinch, until this time, even Wang Shirong, who had been quite disdainful of him next to him, was stunned, this gentleman who looked like a 'flower' and 'playboy' seemed to have suddenly changed a person, calm and sophisticated, without stage fright.

"Your Majesty, if you need that island, the Kingdom of France, His Majesty King Louis XIV is ready to serve you!!" Quasimodo bowed slightly, "As you know, if the Han Empire and the Kingdom of France officially conclude a treaty and become the closest allies, then, for the sake of the interests of the allies, the Kingdom of France has every reason to put pressure on that country that everyone hates!" ”

Lin Feng's heart was shocked, and Huo Ran stood up, "Your Excellency Baron Quasimodo, something like this is not a trivial matter!" He looked at the other closely, "I would like to ask if you have been officially authorized by King Louis XIV of France?!! ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, you don't need to be suspicious!!" Baron Quasimodo raised his head and said proudly, "And every word I say to you now is not from my own mind, but from Paris, from the royal palace, and from the voice of the kingdom of government!" He stood up and raised his hand, "I, Quasimodo, the hereditary baron of France, am willing to swear by the honor of nobility, and the above statements are all true, and there is no half a lie or deception!" May God bear witness!! ”

Lin Feng slapped the table and said categorically, "Okay! - Then I will conclude this treaty with you France!! He held up a finger, "But, Quasimodo, you must remember, that the treaty is premised on us taking Luzon; Secondly, the duration of the treaty cannot exceed a maximum of fifteen years!! ”

Quasimodo looked at him in amazement, but Lin Feng didn't give him a chance to argue anymore, and waved his hand, "This is my final decision, Quasimodo, please immediately convey my meaning to His Majesty Louis XIV, and tell him that I have 'handed over' the initiative of this cooperation to him, and as for whether it can be achieved, it depends on how he chooses!! ”
