259 Golden Beans
He Xin looked at Xu Wenchang angrily: "Yes is yes, no is no, why bother?" What a rat Yan Shifan, he colluded with him to insult my reputation. Just to wag his tail and beg for mercy to Shousuke, he made this decision? Joke! ”
"The university scholar is angry." Xu Wenchang smiled and waved his hand, "If you want to be good friends with the first and minor cultivators, do you have to collude with Yan Donglou?" ”
He Xinyin was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized: "But if there is no collusion, is that strength enough?" ”
"If you want to add sin, why not? We need to believe in Shousuke's talent in this area. Xu Wenchang said, and said to Yang Changfan, who was confused, "In the reply letter, it was stated that Yan Shifan and Luo Wenlong wanted to bring a lot of money to the Japanese country, in order to protect the daimyo, and keep safe. My Hui Wangfu is naturally inseparable from the Yan Party, and denounced Yan Shifan for being despicable and incompetent, just to escape the crime, and sacrifice the scraped people's fat and people's ointment to the Japanese people, which is a great rebellion, and finally persuade him to honestly surrender to the law to fill the army. ”
Yang Changfan glared and said, "Can it still be like this?" ”
He Xinyin shook his head helplessly: "You literati...... Hold a pen, black can also be said to be white, I look down on you. ”
Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "Taizhou is in the same vein, and it looks down on people in the world. ”
"The owner of the ship decides, and my master and my learning are good." He Xinyin waved his hand, unwilling to use his brains here anymore.
"The necessary means still need to be used." After Yang Changfan appeased He Xinyin, he immediately ordered, "In this case, Wen Chang is the main writer." ”
"It doesn't have to be me, there's someone better suited to write than me."
Yang Changfan thought for a while and then had an answer: "Can he?" ”
"Let him write a version first, and if it's not suitable, I'll write it again."
"So be it." Yang Changfan nodded and said, "This matter will be resolved quickly." ”
The two were about to retire, and the Manila officials happened to visit, saying that Ma Laojiu had found someone to go to the Americas.
Yang Changfan was deliberately asking Xu Wenchang to conceal this person and summon him.
A strong young man timidly entered the hall, looking a little nervous, this person has a high nose, big eyes and deep sockets, although he has black hair and black eyes, but there is a faint exotic style.
After the man looked at the three of them, he hurriedly saluted: "Have you seen ...... Shipowner. ”
The officials next to him introduced that the news of Yang Changfan's expedition to the East Voyage was spread all over the place, and the Huiwang Mansion was assigned to the ship and people, only to bring back two goods, and after the matter was completed, the reward was heavy, and the official was knighted. Under such a heavy reward, there were naturally some people who dared to take risks, and after being selected and screened from all over the world, this young man from Ambon became the final candidate.
"Beautiful like a woman." He Xinyin frowned and said, "Driving the boat to the east, I don't know what the wind and waves are, how many bandits there are, can you stand it?" ”
The young man took a deep breath and said, "I went with my father, and the largest city there is called Mexico City. ”
All three were startled at the same time.
"Where's your father?"
"I contracted an illness and died two years ago." The young man replied calmly, "There are many illnesses on the east coast, and my father had a good relationship with a local woman, and he contracted a strange disease, which was passed on to his mother, and both died a year ago. ”
"This ......" He Xinyin saw the young man's surprisingly calm when talking about this matter, and couldn't help asking, "Are you twenty years old?" ”
"Twenty-one." The young man nodded and said, "I used to go to sea with my father, and when I was very young, I watched the wind and rain, and I thought I was good at water. ”
Yang Changfan was quite satisfied, and asked, "Is your father Portuguese or Spanish?" ”
"According to Chinese, it belongs to the Franji people, my mother is a Han who lived in Ambon, and I can speak Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese."
Yang Changfan looked up and asked, "Then do you know what you're looking for on this trip?" ”
"Probably certain." The young man's expression finally relaxed, and he made a gesture, "According to what they told me, the first thing to do is to find a crop as thick as a stick, and remove the green leaf skin on the outside, and the inside is a thick rod and a round pole, and a circle around the round pole is full of 'golden beans', I should have seen this." ”
Yang Changfan was overjoyed and asked, "What's it called?" ”
"From what I've heard, it's supposed to be ...... What a flax silk ......"
Yang Changfan asked: "Is it planted in rows in the field, like a lot of dwarf trees, each can bear several during the harvest." ”
"That's probably the case, the locals mostly grow in the mountains."
"That's right." Yang Changfan then asked, "What about the second type, have you ever seen a big soybean buried in the ground?" ”
"I've never seen it, but I've heard of it, it's also a very short thing, it can grow in a very barren place, and although the flowers are beautiful, the leaves are hard to eat, and the roots are really big. But isn't that dirty? ”
"It's okay to wash it, isn't it like ginseng!" Yang Changfan was overjoyed, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is long, and the owner of the ship can call me Digo."
He Xinyin laughed when he heard this: "Do you want the shipowner to call you brother?" ”
Brother Di blushed and said embarrassedly: "Then it's called ...... Didi's ......"
The three of them laughed when they heard this, and He Xinyin and Xu Wenchang all showed affirmation.
Yang Changfan entrusted this: "Okay, Brother Di, I'll leave it to you, you can bring back these two things, and it's okay for me to call you brother!" The more seeds of these two things, the better, preferably from the aborigines. What you need, what you want, you can say! ”
"I need to ......," thought Digo, "at least three armed sailing ships, although I plan to land from the west coast of Mexico, where there will be fewer pirates, but to be on guard, the average pirate will hesitate when he sees an armed fleet." ”
"Yes, three standard gunboats, with 400 elite soldiers and 200 flintlock guns, have the power to protect themselves regardless of sea and land."
"That should be enough." Di Ge nodded, "The route to the east is relatively calm, and there is not too much danger of wind and waves. ”
"And what more do you want?"
"Identity." "My father always said that he was a nobleman and that I would inherit his title, but he was not, and my bloodline could not be inherited. ”
Yang Changfan was puzzled when he heard this: "Under the rule of King Hui's Mansion, there is no prince yet. ”
"I don't need a fiefdom, I don't need privileges, I just need an identity."
"Hmm......" Yang Changfan said after thinking about it, "I understand." If you can bring back these two things, I will be the king of the Hui and give you an honor. ”
"Thank you, owner." Digo bowed gratefully.
"Go and prepare, I've calculated the wind direction and current, and I can set off in twenty days, and I can cross the ocean smoothly, and as for the return time, you have to figure it out yourself."
"I don't know how the owner of the ship divined...... Travel time, I want to decide for myself. ”
"Hahaha!" Xu Wenchang laughed, "It's really upright, and he actually questioned the shipowner's judgment on the voyage." (To be continued.) )
