Seeing that the Portuguese Lida was once again fooled by himself, Li Guo was very happy. ＊x,

In fact, Li Guo thinks that he is not fooling people, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he has to come to my house, why can't I, Li Guo, be the emperor? Now I am watching my strength expand step by step, and I am getting closer and closer to my goal. Li Guo is more confident in realizing his ideals, and his tone of voice seems to be really like an emperor.

"Lida, don't worry, I won't break my word. Okay, cheer up. Let's go and meet the talents you have recruited, the banquet must be ready, don't make people wait for a long time. After all, the Oriental people at that time were conservative and always stayed at the level of Confucianism that did not want to make progress and did not pursue new things.

Lida nodded.

Li Guo grabbed Lida again, "You said that the governor of Malacca sent a warship to see you off, and the captain of the warship will wait until tomorrow to go back, so you can invite him too." ”

"He's been called, even the ship's crew." Lida replied.

Li Guo was very satisfied, and his greatest attention at this time was focused on the warship from Malacca.

Li Guo attaches great importance to these talents from Europe, but for now, let them adapt to life here. Moreover, in terms of language, it is also necessary to increase the degree of communication, although now, including Li Guo, everyone has learned to speak foreign languages and can communicate simply, but it is not enough to better accept the advanced technology and concepts of Westerners.

So, in front of you. Li Guo is most concerned about Malacca. The captain and crew of the ship who came to Malacca were called to dinner, just to understand the current situation in Malacca.

Eat, of course, outside. Li Guo didn't have such a big house to entertain these people together. Although it is winter at this time, it is not cold for the Beihai port of Guangxi, and it is not as cold and windy as the north. The temperature outside is not low, and you can still sit comfortably. Therefore, it includes more than 300 invited Europeans, as well as more than 200 Portuguese sailors from Malacca, plus Li Guo's own people. There were nearly 1,000 people in total, all in the open air.

Li Guo made a speech, and his first speech was aimed at European craftsmen and scholars: "Welcome to China!" ”

This statement is in Portuguese. Liu Ru has helped Li Guo review many times, and Li Guo speaks very fluently.

Li Guo continued, "You have come to the East to earn some money, and to tell you the truth, Viscount Lida has already told me about your situation. ”

Li Guo specifically mentioned Lida's title. to prove the legitimacy of the viscount of Lida.

"I'll make you earn."

"Of course. Most importantly, I can achieve your ideals. You are in Europe, you are at the bottom of society, you have ambitions, you have dreams, but you can't achieve them. When I come to me, I will support you and let you give full play to your talents! Come to me, as long as you dare to think! You can do anything! In my place. I will make you immortal scientists and artists! Nothing can bind you! Do your best! You will know that you are here this time. You don't need to make this trip! "Li Guo is not just fooling, but really wants to build a perfect world in his world.

Wow. There was a round of applause. Li Guo's words reached the hearts of these Westerners, who, as Li Guo said, have a low status in Europe, a very low income, and a dream that cannot be realized. Now that Li Guo has given them a platform, how can they not be happy.

After Li Guo finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Serve!" ”

Li Guo was not in a hurry to settle these people, he had already instructed Nie Xin and Song Yingxing to let these people adapt first, and then let them be assigned according to their own situation and strengths.

At this time, it is to let these people eat well, taste the food of China, and let these people know that as long as they do a good job, they can eat these things every day.

After Li Guo finished speaking, he pulled Lida over, "Lida, where is the captain from Malacca you said?" ”

Lida pointed to a foreigner with a full beard who was eating a heise.

"Call him, let's open a table and eat slowly." Li Guo instructed Lida.

Lida called the reluctant captain over and set up another table.

Waiting for the captain to eat enough, Li Guo chatted with him, "What is your surname?" ”

"My name is Carrolley." The captain replied.

"Oh, what's your relationship with that Malacca Governor Carlos?" Li Guo asked, because he heard that the names of the two people were a little close, so he wondered if they were relatives. As everyone knows, Westerners have random names, unlike Chinese names that have rules and origins.

"The Governor of Malacca is my cousin." Caroli replied, "Coincidentally."

"So you're relatives." Li Guo nodded, and then said, "Mr. Caroli, since you are here, you might as well stay for a few more days, you can also see, I have recruited so many Westerners at once." This shows that I, Li Guo, do not discriminate against you, otherwise I would have driven you away a long time ago, and we should be friends. ”

"I'm also glad to be friends with General Lee, there aren't many enlightened Orientals like you. Even my cousin, Mr. Carlos, the Governor of Malacca, has a great affection for you, and he has never invited so many Westerners to you at once, and he has made a special gesture to express his respect to you! "Caroli is telling the truth.

"Thank you, in that case, you can stay a few more days, let's have a good talk." Li Guo has a purpose.

"I'd love to do that, but no, I've got to leave tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing you next time." Caroli seems to be on the move.

"Oh, what a pity, Mr. Carrolly, are you in such a hurry to leave?" Li Guo asked.

Carory smiled, his smile full of warmth, "Yes, I have something very important!" ”

Li Guo is just curious, "What's the matter?" Can you tell me about it? ”

"I was in a hurry to buy a gift, and I heard that there are pearls in the South China Sea, and I wanted to buy some of them, weave them into a bead chain, and give them to my niece, because it will be my niece Tarina's birthday in a while. This birthday is important because she is eighteen years old, and in the eyes of us Westerners, it is a sign of adulthood. Therefore, the officers and men of the Malacca ship are preparing gifts to be given to Tarina on the day of his bar mig! You know, we are alone overseas, there are not many entertainment programs, and we all treat that day as a festival! Caroli explained.

"I see." Li Guo nodded, thought for a while, and said, "You want to give your niece a bead chain, in fact, you don't have to bother a lot, if you can trust me, I will help you think of a way, so that you can buy it!" ”

"Really? But you must know that I am buying very good pearls, and only the best pearls are worthy of Tarina's peerless countenance. ”

Tarina? A peerless look? Li Guo became more and more interested in Malacca. (To be continued......)
