Paul was shopping at the ready-to-wear store, while Jia Rui and Ma Fushan waited outside.

"Tianxiang, what did you hire him for?"

Ma Fushan wanted to ask for a long time, but it was only because Paul was always by his side that he was embarrassed to speak.

"Fukuyama, you know about my shipbuilding in Wangjiang, right?"

"Yes, Xingshan told me."

"After shipbuilding, I wanted to do the maritime business. Piracy is rife these days, and merchant ships need to be protected. ”

"Oh, I see. I see, I thought you were going to join the army. ”

Hehe, Ma Fushan, you don't understand. I just can't tell you now. I'm afraid I'll scare you by saying it.

After a while, Paul came out, carrying a bag and even changing his clothes.

Paul bought some more groceries and returned to Jarry.

"Uncle Rui, you can go."

"Why don't you go back and pack your things?"

"I don't have anything else."

For example, blankets, luggage or something, you won't even live in an inn and sleep on the streets for so long, right?

"Are you sure you don't have any luggage?"

"Nope."

Paul spread his hands, seemingly innocent.

Okay, good, you have what it takes.

However, he escaped death from the sea, and it is estimated that there is nothing, and it is a miracle that he can survive to this day.

Jia Rui hired a carriage, and the three of them went to Rongguo Mansion first.

Jia Rui's plan was to arrange for Paul to live in a steamed bun workshop.

It is convenient to eat and live there, and it is also relatively avoidable, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others. More importantly, Jia Rui wanted him to get acquainted with Hu Xingshan, and in the future, Hu Xingshan would take him to the shipyard in Wangjiang.

The reason why I went to Rongguo Mansion was to verify my identity and use the scene of Rongguo Mansion to scare him, making him think that he was a noble and powerful person.

Now that he is desperate, hungry and hired, he has few other options.

Once you have eased up in the future, you may not think like you do now.

Jia Rui's purpose is to make him firm in his confidence, thinking that he has found a rich and powerful employer, and he can work for himself with peace of mind.

When I arrived at Ningrong Street, I first went to Ningguofu, and then to Rongguofu.

When I met the housekeeper and my subordinates along the way, I greeted Jia Rui one after another.

When he saw that he had brought with him a man who looked like a yaksha, he looked at Paul strangely.

Paul sighed incessantly as he walked.

After the two mansions were finished, a few people arrived at the West Flower Hall.

"Lin Zhixiao, you go to the yamen to get him an identity document and a road guide, and he will go to the south in a few days."

"What's his name?"

"Let's call it Don Paul."

Without identity documents, it is very inconvenient to go out, and at some point, the government will be asked to arrest or expel them.

"I'll go to Lizheng in a while, and I'll go to Yamen tomorrow to do it."

Li Zheng is the Jia family, with the power of the Jia Mansion, this little thing does not need to be brought forward by the master at all, and a housekeeper can easily settle it.

Jia Rui asked Lin Zhixiao, Zhang Hua, and Jia Huan about the project, and went around the construction site again, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he planned to go to Shuiyue Temple.

"Where's Qingwen? Why didn't you see her? ”

"I went to the treasury of the house to pay the money. Miss Qingwen is very motivated, and now many accounts will be settled. ”

Lin Zhixiao praised.

"Yes, Miss Qingwen is very diligent and well-organized, and everyone likes her very much."

"Everything else is good, but I'm a little more grumpy, and I don't like what I see, and I curse people at every turn."

Jia Huan said with a smile.

Temper tantrums? I don't think it's gentle in front of me.

It turns out that this girl will still disguise.

After chatting about some engineering matters, Jia Rui, Ma Fushan, and Tang Paul returned to the steamed bread workshop.

Paul has a cheerful personality, and when he saw Hu Xingshan and Wang San, he quickly became acquainted.

At dinner in the evening, Paul drank wine and talked about European customs and his experiences at sea.

Ma Fushan and Hu Xingshan naturally didn't know this, and they were stunned when they heard it, and they exclaimed from time to time.

Paul was well-informed and knew a lot about the Great Virtue.

At this time, although Portugal was not as beautiful as it was when it was a maritime hegemon, it was not weak. He felt that Europe was more advanced than Middle-earth, and he could not help but show arrogance in his speech.

Jia Rui listened from the sidelines, and didn't say much, just smiled and didn't say anything.

After dinner, Jarry drafted an employment contract and called for Paul.

"You look at the terms, and if there are no objections, sign them. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write kanji, just sign Portuguese and sign your full name. ”

Paul picked up the contract and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly stopped.

"Do you know Arabic numerals?"

It was a complete surprise to him.

"Paul, to be precise, it should be called an Indian numeral, this number originally originated in India, because it was the Arabs who came to you in Europe, and it was misunderstood by you that it was Arabic numerals."

"You even know this, I haven't heard of it."

"There are many things you haven't heard of, such as papermaking, which was also an invention of Middle-earth, and was later introduced to Europe by the Arabs."

"Movable type printing is also an invention of Middle-earth, and it is wrong for Fu Teng to say that movable type printing was invented by them."

"Columbus discovered the New World, Magellan sailed the Americas, and Da? Gamma and Dias sailed on the seas, without the compass invented by Middle-earth, and even if they survived to this day, they would still be in the vast sea, unable to find the right course. ”

"There is no gunpowder in Middle-earth, and you don't have muskets and artillery now."

"Well, now I'm going to tell you about the Dark Ages of the European Middle Ages and the Black Death, which killed a large number of people."

"Of course, if you're a man with some literary culture, I don't mind talking to you about the Renaissance. For example, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Bochuga's "Decameron" can also be discussed. ”

And he saw that Paul's eyes were wide, and his mouth was wide open, as if he were stupid.

You're a big stupid man, pretend to be advanced in front of me, you're far behind.

Jary went on and on for half an hour, and Paul didn't say a word in the middle.

It wasn't until Jary himself stopped that Paul finally said a word.

"So much you know."

"These are all common-sense facts, and now let's talk about some sciences, such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Talking about Newton, Bacon, oh, I'll write a few Greek letters first. ”

"What to write? Alpha, Gamma, Det, Epsilon, Sigma. Or write a few letters in English, A, B, C, D, do you know English? ”

“what is your name？ how old are you?”

"Of course, I can also talk about solid geometry, calculus, the law of gravitation. Copernicus, Bruno, the Inquisition, can also be discussed. ”

Regardless of whether Paul understood it or not, Jary gushed on and on about history, astronomy, physics, chemistry, ancient Greek mythology, Athens, Sparta, the Roman Empire, Egypt, Persia, Phoenicia.

Jia Rui estimated that there were many things he said that even Paul did not understand.

Nearly half an hour after this time, Paul suddenly fell to one knee.

"Willing to serve Uncle Rui, Paul will do his best and never give up."

That's right.

Stupid big man, if he doesn't beat you or scold you, he will scare you to death with knowledge.

"Then sign the contract. Follow me, I can teach you something later. ”

"Paul is willing to learn from Uncle Rui."

"That's right, learn from me, it's all yours to learn."
