He was busy until the beginning of September, when Liu Ximing realized that he had finished what he could do, so he approached Lizisi to discuss what he thought.

Li Sisi has recently changed from a forced smile to a flying eyebrow dance, so when he heard that Liu Ximing was looking for him, he really ran faster than anyone else.

"Hahaha, Mr. Leigh, please sit down, there is a reluctant invitation here today."

Liu Ximing is familiar with the character of Li Zhisi, and goes straight to the point.

Sure enough, Lysis was not a little impatient, "Liu, if you need my help, just ask, I will do my best to help you." ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, I remember that the Jesuit general meeting should be in Ho Ho King-O."

Ho Kong Macao is what Macau is now called, and the Portuguese have only been able to live in it for decades, without the arrogance of the colonizers in the 19th century.

Li Zhisi was already a little numb to Liu Ximing's familiarity with the outside world, so he just smiled and nodded, "Exactly." ”

Liu Ximing looked overjoyed, "That's really good, right now my family has a large amount of cotton cloth that I want to sell overseas, and I'm worried that I can't find a Taixi merchant, I don't know if Mr. Li can recommend anyone?" ”

Li Zhisi looked at Liu Ximing with some doubts, and asked carefully: "Liu, do you want to get involved directly in overseas trade, or do you just want to sell goods?" ”

When Liu Ximing saw his expression, he felt a little unhappy.

Grass, even forgetting that these missionaries are the vanguard of Europe, behind them is not only the support of the Holy See, but also all kinds of commercial interests entangled.

Liu Ximing hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "No, no, no, my family is in the inland of Sichuan, how can I have the time to do these maritime trades, I only need to be able to sell the goods to maritime merchants." ”

Li Zhisi's face was slightly red, and when Liu Ximing said this, he also remembered that the Liu family was far inland, and he had nothing to worry about.

"Liu, we are good friends, don't worry about this matter, I'll fix a book for you when I go back, and I'll report it to the general association again, and I'll help you arrange it properly."

"Thank you very much."

Liu Ximing picked his head a little embarrassed, "It's a bit embarrassing to say, there is one more thing I want to bother to help, I just came back from Jiangnan in the first half of the next year, and I was immediately fascinated by sailing, I heard that the sailing method of Taixi sea ships is different from China, so I want to ask my husband to help recruit some sailors from Haojing Ao to teach my fleet." ”

A hint of vigilance had just risen in his heart, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He opened his mouth and laughed: "Hahaha, we are all sea ships, how can your fleet be used?" ”

"Mr. Li is underestimating my family", Liu Ximing replied proudly: "There is nothing to be afraid of the sea, I have dug a big lake at home, which is enough for me to play and play." ”

A mysterious expression flashed on Liu Ximing's face, and he leaned over to Lysis and said with a smile: "Not only that, I have asked the craftsmen at home to imitate a few Franco double-deck warships, just waiting for someone to teach them." ”

Li Sisi smacked his tongue in his heart, the aristocratic wealth of this Ming Dynasty is really amazing, his family is also a nobleman in Italy, but he has not been able to do it like the Liu family.

But it's easy to talk about this, Lyric patted his chest: "It's no problem, it's just that I'm a person from Taixi who came from thousands of miles away, and for the sake of this money, you want to recruit sailors to teach, but I'm afraid that this salary will ......."

Liu Ximing waved his hand, "Eh, this is a trivial matter, so let's do it, Mr. Lao Fuli helped me recruit 20 to 30 people, including 3 to 5 translators, these people only need to work for me for 3 months, 100 taels of silver each, what do you think?" ”

"Hiss", Lyric took a breath, this price is really not low.

"No problem, with this price, there must be many sailors willing to come."

Liu Ximing laughed loudly, "Okay, but the key is to let them arrive as soon as possible, and strive to be able to come over within two months." ”

He thought about it and felt unsafe, "That's it, you write the letter and hand it to me, and I'll send someone to Guangdong quickly." ”

Riccis is indispensable for this kind of request.

After talking about this matter, Liu Ximing was very sure in his heart, he planned to go to Guangdong after the year, and with these preparations, his trip was more certain.

It's just that after staying in Chengdu for so long, Liu Ximing feels more and more strange.

Previously, He Tianlei and others heard that the Deyang Royal Mansion wanted to send someone to Liu's house to make trouble, but now that Liu Ximing is in the city, he has never encountered anyone from the Deyang Royal Mansion coming to provoke, which really makes him a little puzzled.

If he was still afraid of the Shu Wangfu on the bright side before, now that he has a knighthood, as long as he is not rude, even the Shu Wangfu has nothing to do with him.

However, this is the base camp of the Shu Wangfu after all, and he feels uneasy for a day after staying for one more day, and seeing that the affairs of the city have been dealt with, he is ready to leave the city and go home.

In fact, King Deyang didn't want to find Liu Ximing's bad luck, but he really didn't dare to find it at the moment.

The person who Liu Ximing and others killed in the chaos was the brother of his favorite concubine Cai.

Zhu Zhijun, the king of Deyang, was blown by the pillow wind for a while, and finally found through his own brother Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, and asked for some manpower to come over and want to take revenge.

Who knew that stealing chickens would not make rice, and the news of Liu Xi's knighthood came, and Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, did not want to provoke the attention of the court for some reason, so he was strictly ordered not to trouble the Liu family again.

Of course, Liu Ximing didn't know these twists and turns, he was already on his way back to Shunqing, but even if he knew, he would pout at most, and now because of Dou Yuquan's relationship, even if the Shu Wangfu wanted to hide, he had to go straight to the bar.

It's just that Liu Ximing is familiar with the general trend of the world, and the Shu Wangfu is naturally high at the moment, but in a few years, hehe.

The news of Liu Ximing and others having been lifted has already been transmitted back to Shunqing, and this time Shunqing has 25 people, of which 17 are members of the Datong Society, and Shunqing Shilin has already caused a sensation.

As soon as the group returned to Shunqing, not only Liujia Village wanted to hold a feast to celebrate, but there was also an endless stream of people in the city who wanted to ask for celebration, which kept Liu Ximing and others busy.

Xie Chengzhou's family was also happy for a while, this time not only Liu Ximing, the future son-in-law, was promoted, but even Xie Wenle was admitted in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to the Xie family's double happiness, and the house is full of joy.

However, as Liu Ximing's fame grew, several women of the Xie family became a little worried.

On the night of the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Xie Mengshi took advantage of Xie Chengzhou's efforts to blow the wind directly in his ears while Xie Chengzhou was still asleep.

"Now that Ximing's child is more and more capable, I think it is best to do Xi'er and his marriage as soon as possible, so as not to cause any extraneous complications."

Xie Chengzhou turned over and smiled: "Wujiang has a deep relationship with our family, and he and Xi'er are in love, why are you still worried about these things." ”

Xie Mengshi twisted it on Xie Chengzhou's waist, and said angrily: "This hasn't passed the door yet, he has made a few little goblins out, if you don't marry Xi'er to manage the back house, who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future." ”

"That's right", Xie Chengzhou pondered, Liu Ximing's credit in this regard was already bankrupt, and even Xie Chengzhou didn't dare to pack the ticket.

"That's it, tomorrow I'll ask Wenle to go to him and say it, it's time to do it, just after finishing it and then take next year's exam, happy and happy, auspicious."

"Have you heard, the new Amber Liu family is going to marry a bride."

"Really? Whose daughter is so lucky? ”

"You are really lonely, didn't the Xie family in Nanchong County marry the Liu family a long time ago, of course you are marrying the bride of the Xie family."

"Tsk, the Xie family can be regarded as taking a big advantage."

On September 21, the news that Liu Ximing was going to get married suddenly flourished after the tea and dinner of the people of Shunqing Fucheng.

On one side is the newly crowned earl of the imperial court, and he has just been promoted, and on the other side is the Xie family, which has deep roots, how can this combination not make people think about it.

When Liu Ximing and Xie Chunxi got engaged before, everyone still felt that the Liu family had climbed to a high branch.

After all, although the Liu family is rich, the affairs of the gentry and the old men can be decided by money alone.

However, after Liu Ximing's reversal of the past year, the direction of public opinion changed suddenly, and the Xie family knew people well, and they set a son-in-law early.

It is said that even Chen Huang and other officials and gentry have no shortage of chagrin and remorse, and a rising political star slipped through everyone's fingers, making people not angry.
