Zhao Xu looked at James Norrington because he couldn't use chopsticks, but he could only keep using a spoon to pull food into his mouth, but he was eating a mouthful of oil, his thoughts followed the route they came, and kept drifting to the west and south of the earth, in this era of the Suez Canal, all ships want to come from the west to their rich and mysterious Chinese land, they must pass through a place that represents a lot of wealth, but is now extremely poor - the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info with the fluttering of thoughts, Zhao Xu seems to have returned to the high school classroom in the 21st century, if he remembers correctly, the whole of South Africa, by a huge gold belt and a diamond belt in the shape of a fork, diagonally across the country, it can be said that the entire Cape of Good Hope region of South Africa, completely located on a pile of gold and diamonds, as his thoughts thought of this, Zhao Xu couldn't stop swallowing saliva, so that his throat, which was a little dry because of excitement, became a little comfortable

"Dear Brother James, I wonder what kind of goods your Great Song Empire is going to buy to bring back to your great Kingdom of England?" Zhao Xu didn't ask them directly about the voyage, but slowly poured a glass of grape wine unique to the land of China for James Norrington, who was sitting next to him, and said to James Norrington

"Dear Huang, we have brought with us livestock, spotted cows, and long-haired goats, which are unique to our country, and we have bought some cumin, and we have brought something very important, that is, we have brought fifty barrels of wine from Corsica in the south of France." When it comes to the upcoming buying and selling trade, James Norrington, who was originally honest, seems to have changed his face, and suddenly becomes as shrewd as a treacherous and cunning. It seems that the ancient Europeans were not stupid at all. Zhao Xu thought wildly

"Oh? Really? You did bring a lot of goods, but I don't know what you plan to buy in my Da Song and bring it back? Zhao Xu asked

"Needless to say, of course, it is your specialty silk, tea, porcelain and other items here, and it would be better if you bought the unique liquor of your Eastern Empire."

Looking at James Norrington with an excited face, Zhao Xu began to hit him and said, "Dear Brother James, I'm afraid you can't exchange these items for too many things." ”

When James Norrington heard Zhao Xu's words, he asked a little anxiously: "Why, dear Huang, aren't our goods worthless?" ”

"No, no, no, maybe your goods are more valuable, but if you look at our Great Song Empire, in the north, there are boundless grasslands, where there are cattle and sheep everywhere, how can there be a lack of cows, dairy sheep, and the dairy products produced, as for cumin is also cultivated in the westernmost land of our country, and this wine, you look at the grape wine you are drinking now, our Great Song Empire itself brews, isn't this wine?" Zhao Xu said helplessly

In fact, Zhao Xu still cares a lot about James Norrington and the goods of their two ships, just say that these cows and goats, before World War II in later generations, there were no such spotted cows in the ancient Chinese country in the east, plus most of the Han people do not consume dairy products, but with the timeline that Zhao Xu himself is in, due to his own arrival, the continuous changes that have taken place have made Zhao Xu, as the emperor, have to consider the living conditions of the Han people who gradually began to graze on the grassland. A large number of cattle, alpacas and horses also began to appear in their hands, which made the crops they produced contain dairy products, so as the emperor, Zhao Xu, in order to make the body of the Eastern Han people stronger, he must begin to let the people of the whole country begin to accept these things they originally did not believe, and the spotted cows brought by James Norrington, the Europeans who came from afar, just ignited the flame that had been dormant in Zhao Xu's heart

"This ...... Dear Huang, these goods are the goods that our two boatloads have worked so hard to bring, you must help us. When James Norrington heard Zhao Xu's words, he hurriedly took his hand and begged him

In fact, this time Zhao Xu is really not a special pit of these crooked nuts that have crossed the ocean, he just expanded the facts, and then Zhao Xu said in embarrassment: "Okay, who made us friends, so be it, dear Brother James, I have eaten all your goods, and I will give you the money at the highest price in the world, but I have one condition." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhao Xu was willing to eat this batch of goods, James Norrington hurriedly admitted to Zhao Xu: "Thank you, dear Huang, thank you." What conditions do you have, just mention it. ”

"I like your ship very much, can you give me the blueprints of your warship?" Zhao Xu said his ultimate purpose this time

"This ...... Dear Huang, this is a military secret. James Norrington said with some embarrassment

"Dear Brother James, I know that you are a little embarrassed like this, but I also have to pay a great price for your goods, and even I have to lose money to operate."

James Norrington thought quietly there for a long time, and then discussed with his deputy captain and first mate for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up a lot of determination, before he said to Zhao Xu: "Okay, dear Huang, I can give you the drawings, but you have to promise that you must not let the Royal Navy of England know about this matter." ”

"Don't worry, Brother James of ****, these drawings are just my own hobby."

After James Norrington handed over the drawings to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu's big pit was finished, and then, he said to James Norrington: "Dear Brother James, since we are going to conduct commercial trade, can I see your comparison of goods?" ”

"Of course." As he spoke, James Norrington took out the gold, silver and copper coins he was carrying, and put them on the table one by one for Zhao Xu to watch

Looking at the gold and silver coins of the Kingdom of England in front of him, Zhao Xu felt helpless, where are these things in front of him What are the gold and silver coins, if their materials are not gold and silver, I am afraid that the workmanship of these currencies will not even be able to keep up, and at the same time, Zhao Xu also gave birth to the same amount of currency that produces gold, silver and copper in his own country

"What is their purchasing power, can you tell me? Or how much money can buy a cow. Zhao Xu retracted his thoughts and asked James Norrington (To be continued.) )
