"Sir, were you just asking us?" The two sailors standing had never seen much of a big scene at first glance, and they were too shaky to talk, and it was Alfonso who was kneeling on the ground who spoke.

Of course, he said it in Portuguese, because Wang Huan's Portuguese sentence just now was asking for their names.

Wang Huan didn't answer, staring at him condescendingly with a kind of arrogance inherent in a superior, arrogant and inviolable.

Wang Huan knew that when these Portuguese people met high-ranking officials such as governors with similar status to themselves in their own country, they were very respectful on the ground, and when they arrived in the Far East and entered the Ming Dynasty, they naturally produced a concept of a good race, and they did not take the Ming officials very seriously, but these red-haired ghosts in the artillery factory had not seen much of the Ming Dynasty officials, and they had seen the largest Ming Dynasty officials in their daily lives, which was the county order of Xiangshan County, a Macao territory.

Seeing that Wang Huan was arrogant and ignoring himself, Alfonso lowered his head and glanced at Du Luo, thinking about whether to ask again, but listened to Wang Huan.

This time it was said in Chinese, and he said in a deep voice to Liu Erlang: "Why don't these two people kneel when they see Ben Hou?" ”

He was referring to the two sailors who had been paid to bring back.

Liu Erlang was stunned for a moment, then kicked one by one, kicked the buttocks of the two, and roared a Portuguese sentence in his mouth: "This is the Ming Pinglianghou, the governor of the two provinces, bigger than your Macao General Administration official, quickly kneel down, otherwise he will cut off your head!" ”

The two sailors were frightened, and knelt down with a "poof", they saw a lot of fighting scenes on the way here, and the bloody shock made them not want to come at all, if it weren't for Liu Erlang's coercion and temptation, plus keeping an eye on it, these two would have run away halfway.

And Alfonso and Duro looked at each other again suspiciously, they thought they were kidnapped by the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, but after being bumpy on the road for so long, the fool also knew that the pirates who played the kidnapping tickets could not travel long distances with meat tickets, and heard Liu Erlang say that the young man in front of him was a governor, and his heart became more relaxed, anyway, it was much safer to fall into the hands of Ming officials than in the hands of pirates.

So Alfonso, relying on his rank higher than Duro, spoke again in Portuguese: "Your Excellency the Governor, in reply to your words, my name is Alfonso, his name is Duro, both are officers of the Royal Portuguese Navy, I don't know those two sailors, but they are also from the Portuguese Artillery Factory in Macau, and we belong to the Macao Artillery Factory." As far as I know, our commercial taxes and artillery factories were handed over to Daming on time for us, and we have never been in arrears, nor have we violated the laws of Daming, please let us go back to avoid misunderstanding. ”

Until this time, Alfonso, who had been locked in a barrel all the way, thought that he had just been pulled somewhere in Guangdong, and how did he know that China was vast, and from Guangdong to Shaanxi, it was equivalent to crossing the distance of several European countries.

Wang Huan's second choice when he was in college in later generations was Portuguese, although he was not proficient, he had no problem in daily communication, and he showed his skills at this time. After listening to Alfonso's answer, he smiled slightly, and under the staring eyes of Ma Wannian and others, he slowly sat up straight, and asked in Portuguese with a straight face: "Since you are working in the land of my Ming Dynasty, you are my people of the Ming Dynasty, and I called you to come, you must come, understand?" ”

Except for Liu Erlang, all the people standing in the hall were puffed out with bull's eyes, looking at everything that was happening in front of them with a confused expression, and the second monk was confused, and he couldn't understand what Wang Huan was saying at all.

But Alfonso and Duro understood, this was said very domineering, Alfonso had a higher status, he had seen the Portuguese emperor before, and his temper was stronger, so he struggled to stand up and refute when he heard the sound, and as soon as his ass left the ground, he was kicked back by Liu Erlang.

Duro blinked, and replied before Alfonso could speak: "Understood, understood, I don't know what the adults want us to do?" ”

Wang Huan narrowed his eyes and was satisfied with Liu Erlang's actions: "You are casting cannons in Macao, and I called you to come, of course, they are also casting cannons." ”

Alfonso quit, although he was intimidated by Wang Huan's momentum and did not dare to resist strongly, he still politely refused: "Your Excellency the Governor, we have signed a contract with the Macao Artillery Factory, we must work in the factory for three years, and we cannot violate the contract. The spirit of the contract is our soul, and we must not go back on the contract. ”

Wang Huan waved his hand, interrupted his words, raised a finger, and showed a smile: "Your contract, how much do you earn in a year?" ”

Alfonso argued: "It's not about money, it's about contracts, contracts!" ”

Wang Huan kept his fingers erected, and said lightly: "I'll give you double the price." ”

Douro's eyes lit up all of a sudden, not only him, but also the two kneeling sailors behind him.

Alfonso's heart jumped a few times, but the pride of the royal officer made him stiffen his neck and force him: "Money is dirty, you can't buy our hearts, Christian ......"

Wang Huan didn't wait for him to finish, he suddenly grabbed a handful of things from a box beside him and threw it fiercely, as if he had lost a hidden weapon, which happened to be thrown on Alfonso's face.

Alfonso was beaten on the head, and the thing was hard and painful in the face.

Before he could come to his senses, he heard Douro screaming beside him.

"Gold! It's gold! Douro's cry from the dantian almost toppled the roof, and he rolled to the ground, leaned his face close to a golden bean that had fallen on the ground, and bit it so hard that he almost broke a tooth.

"It's real gold!" He added.

Alfonso raised his head, the imprints on his face by the golden beans were vivid, Wang Huan met his gaze indifferently, and played with the handful of golden beans in his hand: "Do things for me, do a good job, these golden beans are the wages in advance." ”

Alfonso's heart was touched, who could resist the temptation of real money in front of him? The saint is still skeptical, let alone a mercenary like him.

Liu Erlang approached their ears at the right time and whispered: "This governor, he has a very bad temper, if you don't want his money, he will cut off your head!" ”

Douro's body was turned upside down, and he glanced at the long knife on the waist of Ma Wannian and the others, who were standing on both sides like a wolf and a tiger, and pointed his head as flexible as a chicken pecking rice, and shouted: "Your Excellency, I am willing, I am willing!" ”

"Good!" Wang Huan smiled approvingly at Du Luo, and then Sen Ran said to Alfon: "What about you? ”

Alfonso glanced at Duro with his head on the ground in annoyance, and said to himself that this coward had wasted the opportunity to raise his value a little, and he wanted to give him a kick.

Helpless, he had to lower his head, follow the example of Douro, lie down, lay his forehead on the green brick, and responded in a low voice: "I am also willing!" ”

Then he heard a "plop", as if something had jumped to the ground, and just as Alfonso wanted to look up, he saw a picture of a cannon drawn in front of his eyes, and with it, an urgent word from the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

"How? Can you make the cannon on the painting? ”
