Fang Jifan heard him say that he had admired His Excellency for a long time, and felt strange in his heart.

It's kind of a paradox.

People who have admired the Daimyo of Fang Jifan for a long time must not be so happy at this moment.

But once you don't look up to the name of Fang Jifan for a long time, you dare to fool our Jifan, and say that you have admired me for a long time, do you owe a beating?

Fang Jifan was happy: "Please drink tea." ”

Wang Xizuo didn't pick up the teacup, he didn't thank the Oriental tea, it was too bitter.

Fang Jifan took a sip of tea to himself: "I heard that you took care of my protégé very much along the way. ”

Wang Xi shook his head busily: "This is what should be done, I am friends with His Excellency Xu Jing." Along the way, we formed a deep friendship. ”

"yes." Fang Jifan said solemnly: "I heard that you got your name, and he also obtained it, which shows how far your relationship has come." ”

Wang was happy: "Yes, yes, we are like glue." Your Excellency the Earl, in fact, I have one thing to ask for, I hope to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Excellency the Earl can introduce me. ”

"......" This person is a bit of a two.

You can see it, and I want to see it every day.

Fang Jifan smiled and groaned: "I don't know what to do? ”

Wang Xizuo said: "That's the case, I have long heard that the Ming Emperor is a benevolent and benevolent person......"

Fang Jifan wanted to say in his heart, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about benevolence, specially, the gold belts he gave me are all copper.

Wang Xizuo continued: "His good name has already spread all over the West and Portugal, and I have long admired his prestige, so ...... We hope that we can ask the Ming Emperor for permission to find a place to shelter our merchants, so that we can trade here with the Ming Dynasty. ”

He said it seriously.

even felt that at the moment, this young earl, such a young man, would definitely nod his head without hesitation.

Fang Jifan immediately thought of Macau, and couldn't help but smile: "This doesn't matter, you also know that the Ming Emperor is merciful, but there is a careful matter." ”

Xu Jing stood aside, expressionless, and said in his heart, "Teacher...... began to deceive again in the name of His Majesty.

Fang Jifan said: "You should know that I want to build a ship." ”

"This ...... Know. Wang Xizuo was vigilant in his heart, the Ming Empire suddenly became interested in the ocean, which made him a little anxious, although he helped Xu Jing halfway, according to his experience, the shipbuilding level of the human scum Wang Bushi was actually not high.

It's not about design, although there are some flaws in the design, especially ...... The ship was more like a transport ship and did not have the capabilities of naval warfare. But the most important thing is the question of craftsmanship.

Portugal has always been in a corner of the Iberian Peninsula, and the Kingdom of Spain on the side is a behemoth to them, they have no way to expand on land, so for hundreds of years, they have accumulated a lot of experience in shipbuilding, and their ships have been proven in the Mediterranean, including the waters of North and East Africa, and even in the Western Ocean.

The skills of many craftsmen, even if it is just to make a willow nail, even if it is just to paint, even if it is just to paint, even what kind of wood should be used for the planks, how to process it to ensure its sturdiness and resistance to the corrosion of seawater, all these have been accumulated over many years and reached a high level.

This kind of experience and skill, in Wang Xizuo's view, is something that cannot be seen on the dregs of the world.

Of course, the Daming Sea has been banned for a hundred years, where will there be any highly skilled shipwrights.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to build a batch of ships, first hire you and a group of Francophone craftsmen, temporarily in my Daming, for guidance, rest assured, this kind of hard work, you don't need to do it, you just need to guide you." The silver is easy to say, to ensure that the ship is built, you one by one, enough to carry ten thousand dollars. ”

Wang Xizuo frowned: "But most of the craftsmen who came here with the Wang Bushi are not clever shipwrights, they are only responsible for the maintenance of passing ships, and I ......"

"I've decided, you like gold, don't you? Let's be straight, how many pounds do you want? ”

"What?" Wang Xi was stunned.

For the first time, he heard that gold was calculated in catties.

"One pound per person, a boat comes out, as long as the boat is okay, each of you will have a pound of gold, of course, given that you and Xu Jing are friends, give you three catties."

Wang Xizuo began to be confused, he knew the unit of measurement of the Ming Dynasty, three catties of gold for a ship, enough for him to ...... lived a life without shame, and when I was back at the age of ninety-nine, I was afraid that I would still have change to find.

Wang Xizuo swallowed his saliva: "Your Excellency, I'm not that kind of ...... I am an upright and ......"

"Give you five pounds, we are friends." Fang Jifan waved his hand and snorted.

Young Master Ben is different from the emperor, the gold he said is copper money, and Young Master Ben is the gold of the Eight Classics, why, because Young Master Ben is a particular person.

"I can try." Wang Xizuo said without hesitation: "However, it may not be good." ”

Fang Jifan pressed his hand: "It doesn't matter, those big cannibals will also help us build ships in the Ming Dynasty, of course, I have a better impression of you, you are more advanced, so in addition to you, each person is a pound of gold, they will not become, only worth half a catty, you can show your strengths, each person makes a boat." Xu Jing, ah......"

Xu Jing smiled and said, "The student is here." ”

Fang Jifan snorted: "Have you ever had him, although I am a child, but my temper is not very good, if someone dares to lack a catty or two, take my gold, and perfunctory there, I will be angry." When they were angry, they broke their bones, one by one. ”

Xu Jing said: "I didn't say it. ”

Wang Xizuo's face changed.

Gold...... People are willing to give.

Mo said that it was his own five catties of gold, that is, he paid one catty to each of the ordinary Francois people, to be honest, it was enough for everyone to make a fortune.

But why didn't you say earlier, the team of Franco's shipbuilding still has to compete with the big cannibals, is it that when the two sides build their own ships, the ships built by each of them will have to be tasted one or two, and whoever builds it badly will be broken bones?

"I want to ......"

Fang Jifan said: "Don't have any worries, don't think too much, build a good ship, build the ship well, we are friends, then my emperor Long Yan Dayue, at that time, I will introduce you to the palace to meet, some of your requests, my emperor will not allow it, don't be afraid, I am not the kind of indiscriminate person, I just hate others to lie to me." ”

“……”

Fang Jifan began to paint a picture of the future for Wang Xizuo: "When the ship is built, for the sake of our friendship, I decided to name this ship 'International Friend Wang Xizuo', which is a symbol of our friendship." ”

"I ......," Wang Xizuo wanted to say.

Fang Jifan picked up the tea cup and lowered his head to blow the tea foam: "Send off!" ”

Wang Xizuo left, and Xu Jing personally sent him out.

As the right deputy capital of the imperial history and the 'Qin Mission's patrol envoy', Xu Jing was already regarded as a feudal official, but in front of Fang Jifan, he still stood obediently beside Fang Jifan: "Teacher, let these people build ships......

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, let Wang Xizuo take the lead, it's better than letting other Francophone people come, after all...... We couldn't be clearer about this person's background, and the teacher trusted him very much, and he didn't dare to come nonsense. ”

Finished drinking tea.

There was another cry from the next door.

The cries from time to time from the Fang family gave Fang Jifan a feeling that his life had changed, Fang Jifan hurriedly put down the teacup, and hurried to the hall next door, where he saw Xiao Xiangxiang hugging Fang Xiaofan and coaxing in a low voice.

Fang Xiaofan ignored Xiao Xiangxiang and cried blindly.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "What about her mother?" ”

Fang Xiaofan said: "I was invited by a few ladies in the house, I wanted to see what our Fang family's ladies were like, and the ladies were not good at snubbing them, so I went." ”

Fang Jifan looked up at Fang Liang, how many ladies? Your sister, does anyone want to see our Fang family's jokes?

"What about the nurse?" Fang Jifan Road.

Xiao Xiangxiang's pretty face was pale in a hurry: "I haven't hired it yet, Steward Yang said, the girl of the Fang family can't eat everything from anyone, and she has to find a woman with an innocent family, but for a while, where can I find it." ”

Fang Jifan suddenly felt that he was just eating milk, but he actually came up with metaphysics, just like some beef companies in later generations, claiming that their cattle were raised by Mozart and Beethoven, so they were more advanced.

Hearing Fang Xiaofan crying again, Fang Jifan caught Fang Xiaofan, hugged him in his arms, and stretched out his fingers.

Smack.

The little mouth sucked Fang Jifan's fingers.

There was a slight pain in the fingers.

That's the legend...... It's hard to eat.

After sucking for a long time, Fang Xiaofan was satisfied, his eyes drooped slightly, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Xiangxiang was on the side, looking at Fang Jifan with admiration: "Young master really has a way." ”

Fang Jifan gently raised his finger and said with a smile: "It's all swollen." "I blew my fingers, and I felt that my fingers were no longer my own.

"That's right." Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Steward Yang is asking, Mrs. wants to prepare for the palace to meet, what kind of ceremony should be prepared, this is a big deal, Mrs. has lived in Guizhou for a long time, I am afraid that I don't know much about the rules of the palace, this matter, or the young master has the idea." ”

Fang Jifan knew that entering the palace this time was a test for his stepmother.

How he felt about his stepmother...... It's a bit hard to say, I always feel that my father's taste is too strange, men, shouldn't they all like gentle women.

But this stepmother is clearly a hero.

Could it be that heroes cherish heroes?

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "The important thing is the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's temperament...... I'll have to think about it. ”

At this time, Fang Xiaofan in his arms cried again, and Fang Jifan hurriedly stretched out his fingers, with a resolute face that although there were tens of millions of people, I would never go.
