"Zichuan! Long time no see! ”

After entering the Dongchao room, Jia Cong first hugged a strange-looking young man at the entrance of the hall.

This is his childhood friend, Chen Ran, Chen Zichuan.

Because of his good "strange and obscene skills", he was not liked by the father of the former governor of Shandong, and his situation was similar to Jia Cong, although it was better, but it was also limited.

Although his mother is a concubine and has his grandmother's protection, his mother died early and his grandmother was sick in bed.

After the father continued the strings, he came out again, and his father favored the younger son, and treated him, a rebellious son with a strange appearance, as an enemy.

Jia Cong sympathized with his plight, coupled with his amazing talent in craftsmanship, so Jia Cong recommended him to go to Haojing, that is, Macau, in later generations, together with the down-and-out aristocrat from Haixi Franc Ya, to learn the skills of craftsmen from Portugal and Haixi Franc Ya.

That's two years.

Last time, Jia Cong hurried to Haojing to get a firearm, and the situation was also very dangerous, so the two old friends did not talk deeply.

As soon as Jia Cong gained a firm foothold in Jiangnan, he sent someone to Haojing with a long letter to find him.

It was only now that I finally came to Yangzhou.

Fortunately, Chen Ran brought him good news.

Chen Zichuan, whose image resembles Ma Taobao in later generations, smiled very happily, and after he pulled Jia Cong to look up and down, he said very happily: "Good guy, amazing!" When you first arrived at Haojing, you were dark and thin, skinny, and your eyes were bloodshot! I can't bear to look at it...... It's only been less than half a year, good guy, now that you Jia Qingchen are mentioned in the six southern provinces, who doesn't know who doesn't know? The storyteller has made your story into a story to tell everywhere! It's just that you were originally a reading seed, the only one in the Wuxu branch of Zhili! is so noble, and the words are unique. Alas, sometimes I can't bear to think about it......"

After listening to him chatter for a while, Jia Cong patted his friend who was a little emotional and red-eyed, and said with a smile: "These words will be said when we celebrate the New Year at the end of the thirtieth night, so let's introduce the friends you invited first." ”

Chen Ran hurriedly cleaned up his expression when he heard this, he was a child from an official eunuch family, and he was quite thoughtful in receiving people and things, so he first introduced to Jia Cong: "Lao Gao, Gao Liliang, Qingchen, you are definitely not a stranger." ”

Jia Cong looked at the tall Baron Hercyfort and saw that he was dressed up, and said with some curiosity: "Mr. Fasen, what happened to you?" How did it become like this? ”

Although he was down-and-out at the beginning, he partnered with Jia Cong, moved down Wang Xifeng, and retrieved the ancestral screen, not to mention that Jia Cong gave him a sum of silver, and the emperor in the palace was angry with the Jia family to discredit the Heavenly Empire, and also transferred some treasures from the inner treasury and rewarded them to Gao Liliang.

After these rewards alone, it was enough for this big nose of Hercyfors to live a happy life.

If he is willing to return to China, these treasures from the East may make him a noble earl.

But what he looks like in front of him ...... Not much different from a beggar.

When Gao Liliang heard Jia Cong's words, his tears were about to fall, and he said in a strange tone: "Oh, Jia, my dear friend. I'm so unlucky, I'm really unlucky...... Oh, Jia, dear friend, you must help me......"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to hug Jia Cong.

Zhan Peng took a step forward, supported Gao Liliang who was approaching with his hand, and warned: "If you have something to say, be disciplined, this is the earl of our Daqian Rongguo Mansion!" ”

Beside a young man with a golden wavy hairstyle and a gorgeous dress who had been sitting on the Nanmu chair inside, a second devil was muttering something to him.

After hearing Zhan Peng's words, the young man raised his eyebrows, and his brown eyes looked at Jia Cong scrutinically, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Even from his Western point of view, Jia Cong's appearance is outstanding.

Coupled with Jia Cong's gorgeous and colorful and domineering flying fish suit, the young man frowned slightly.

He was born into the most prestigious Capetian family on the continent of Europa, although he was only a viscount in the Capetian family, which had produced dozens of kings of Europa.

But among the voyagers to the East, he was always the noblest being.

Along the way, he also met people of high status and status in many countries, but in his opinion, those people were ignorant and backward.

For example, the big cadre named Chen Zichuan, although he heard that his father was a high-ranking official, but in Chen Zichuan, he couldn't see the slightest bit of extravagance.

It's not worth his eyes.

But now this young man has appeared, making him, a descendant of the Capetian family, feel jealous and uncomfortable.

The other party was born in the duke's palace of a mysterious and wealthy eastern country, and he is still the first heir.

He was so young and handsome...... I heard that he is also the closest and trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor of this empire, and he is extremely powerful.

The clothes he wears also show that he is quite wealthy......

The baron of Hercyfron's tooth was worse than a beggar in front of this man.

Henry Capet's face became gloomy and ugly, you must know that the Capet family also had the king of Hercyphercia.

Jia Congming reminisced with Gao Liliang, who cried bitterly and looked unlucky, and comforted him that if he didn't die, he would have a blessing, and he would come back after his daughter was gone. It's not that God doesn't bless you, it's just a test of you, otherwise how could you leave a plank for you to be rescued after three days and three nights in the sea? The commercial goods saved by the whole body are gone, and people have a future......

But secretly, he has been looking at today's master from the moment he entered the door.

Seeing the gloomy and gloomy look on his face at this moment, Jia Cong was puzzled, could it be that this person blamed him for being neglected?

Jia Cong gave Zhan Peng a look, asked him to forcibly end Gao Liliang's chattering shabbyness, and after inviting him to sit down, Chen Ran led him to the young Western man who was still sitting there arrogantly.

Chen Ran's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Qingchen, you wrote to me and asked me to invite a Westerner who has enough weight to speak, I entrusted a lot of connections to invite this very talented Portuguese noble viscount, Henri Capet." ”

Engineering men's ability to observe words and emotions is usually not high, and Chen Ran can't see the displeasure of this Henry Capet.

Jia Cong also pretended not to know, and he said to the foreigner's translator: "Please tell Your Excellency the Viscount that I look forward to his friendship and am willing to become a partner with the Capet family, and I represent the entire Daqian Empire and am willing to carry out trade exchanges with Portugal." ”

These words would never have come out of the mouth of a senior official, and after the translator was stunned for a moment, he began to stammer under the gesture of Jia Cong's eyes.

After waiting for the translation, he saw that the young Henri Capet still did not stand up, raised his eyebrows, and asked through the translation, "Can Your Excellency represent your empire?" Hehe, I don't see it that way...... But it doesn't matter, as long as your lordship produces gold and silver, then the muskets and medicines you need will be transported in a steady stream. It's just that because there are too many storms at sea, it needs to be increased by 30%. As for the friendship of the Capetian family, I don't think you are qualified for it yet. ”

Jia Cong didn't mind being underestimated, he smiled quietly and said, "Firearms are just a small business. ”

Henry Capet did not like Jia Cong's demeanor of dominating the conversation, he snorted and said arrogantly: "For a foolish country that even needs to import firearms from abroad, its people had better not be too arrogant and not too arrogant. You only deserve to be in this kind of small business! ”

Jia Cong suddenly understood why the Kingdom of Portugal, which had dominated the seas in his previous life, began to weaken rapidly in the 16th century.

It has been successively tricked by neighboring Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and France.

With his wisdom of coming all the way but not "seeking profit", it is difficult for Portugal not to decline.

Jia Cong glanced at him with pity, and said, "If you only humiliate me personally, I will endure the humiliation and bear the burden first, and I will earn more firearms to strengthen myself this time." It's a pity, you don't die to humiliate my country in front of me...... Who can save you? Zhanpeng! ”

Zhan Peng, who had long been furious, replied in a deep voice: "Humble duty! ”

Jia Cong sighed and said: "After signing many agreements with me, on the way back, unfortunately he fell into the Yangtze River on the way back, and died young because he could not be treated...... Take it down, according to what I said, what should you do with Wei Chen, remember to ask him to sign and press his handprint. ”

Zhan Peng sneered and said, "Obey!" ”

With that, he strode towards Henry Capet.

This kind of person will also leave a scourge for him to endure humiliation and burden, and he will not succeed enough to fail.

Henry Capet had already understood Jia Cong's meaning under the translation of the trembling two devils, and the arrogant man on his face disappeared from time to time, but he still forced the extremely fast "chirping" to say something angrily, but he was slapped in the face by Zhanpeng, and then directly knocked his head and dragged it out.

The two devils were bluffed, and they knelt on the ground and looked at Jia Cong, unable to speak.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You just need to translate." ”

The second devil stammered: "Big ...... Your Excellency, Lord Capet said, he said that he was from the House of Capet, and if your Excellency ...... If you hurt him, you will get the worst revenge. And...... And the adults hurt him, and the whole of the East, ...... There will be no more Europa, and ...... Trade with adults. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he smiled and said, "What's your name and where are you from?" ”

The second devil replied: "The little one is called Tian Qing, is it...... He is a native of Haojing, and his ancestral home is ...... Ancestral home in Guangdong. ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Are your parents still alive?" ”

The second devil's face turned pale when he heard this, and he was speechless, but Chen Ran knew him on the side, and said: "Qingchen, his old son and mother are all in Haojing, and his wife and children are also there." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, since you are here, it's also the New Year's Festival, and I will send someone to invite your family to go to Guangdong to worship your ancestors and burn incense." As for you, you don't have to thank me, just do things for me in the future. Do things well, I will give you a wife and a son, be a master, and no longer have to be a dog for foreigners. If you don't do things well......"

The second devil is a clever person, where he still can't understand Jia Cong's meaning, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, the little one knows what to say, and the little one knows what to say." Whatever the adults command, the little ones say, never dare to show their stuffing! ”

Jia Cong paused, tilted his head to look at Tian Qing, the second devil on the ground, and said, "It's not that simple, when you go back, you won't be arrested and tortured." If you can get through this hurdle and gain their trust, you will naturally have a bright future in the future. If you can't bear it...... Don't worry, your father and mother will also raise it for you. But you will betray us, and you know the consequences. ”

Tian Qing's face turned pale, and he said with tears on his face: "Don't worry, adults, the small ones can be saved, and the small ones can be saved." The little one is familiar with those people in Portugal, and this time Viscount Capet sneaked out with us alone, without even a retinue with him. He is the most lustful foreign devil, and the people around him are all his fiancée, Miss Rosa Capet. If he took them with him, he wouldn't be able to find any woman. Therefore, after going back, the little one will inevitably hook the circle well, even if the hook can't be passed, he will never betray the adult, and only ask the adult to take care of the villain's father, mother, wife and children. ”

Jia Cong bowed his head slightly and said, "If that's the case, then you have a better chance of passing...... But how can his fiancée also have the surname Capet? Is it a clansman? ”

The clan parents are terrifying enough, and China had a rule of not marrying with the same surname as early as the Tang Dynasty.

However, the second devil said: "No, my lord, then Rosa Capet is Henry Capet's own sister, and these devils often intermarry their sisters, brothers, aunts and nephews for the complicated inheritance of the family. But now that Henry Capet is dead, his sister is left alone, and there is no need for such a marriage. So the little one thought that his sister might not be sad and delve into it. ”

These words almost made Chen Ran vomit in disgust, looked at the two devils with a shocked face, and then jumped away from Gao Liliang's side, as if foreigners were all a piece of.

Jia Cong is somewhat clear that even in later generations in Western countries, there are often families who marry close relatives in order to ensure the non-proliferation of the family's equity, such as the DuPont family.

He thought for a moment and said, "This is better, then how to act and speak, and then we will discuss it later." Try 100 households, adults can go down and rest first......"

Tian Qing was stunned at first, and then he was stunned, and his glasses looked at Jia Cong blankly: "Try a hundred households?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "After this matter is resolved and a true trading partner is formed with the Capet family, you will be the Lord of the Hundred Households of the Jinyi Guard stationed in Haojing." It is a lineage that can be passed on to future generations. ”

When Tian Qing heard this, his eyes almost didn't pop out, and he kowtowed busily, trembling and showing a lot of bald loyalty.

Jia Cong asked him to lead him down to rest.

After Tian Qing went down, Jia Cong turned his head and asked Gao Liliang again, "Gao, don't you Haixi Franc Siya want to trade with me?" ”

Gao Liliang touched his big nose, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lord Earl, although I really want to trade with you, the merchant ship of Hercyside France has not yet sailed......

When Jia Cong heard this, he was a little disappointed, but when he saw Gao Liliang sly, it seemed that he had been waiting for this moment, and he said: "Dear Earl, although the damned Hercypheries don't have merchant ships here, the Anglons on the other side of the English Channel are doing business in Tianzhu in the east. I have a good relationship with one of the consuls, and if you wish, I can help you and get in touch with them. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he looked at this big-nosed sloppy foreigner, smiled slightly, and said, "Very good." ”

If he could really take advantage of the east wind of the Anglolands, how could Jia Cong be unwilling?

At this moment, he looked at this big nose, and finally stopped looking so unlucky......
