As soon as Yan Hong heard this, it was a death anyway, and Lao Tzu was happy to pretend to be righteous. immediately protested: "Xia Nuxia's words are wrong. I Yan Fu accepted bribes from the Japanese Kou, and I don't know about this matter, maybe there is. However, no matter how much gold and silver the Yan Mansion collected, it was my grandfather and my father's, how could I give up my own life for these gold and silver that I didn't bring with me in life and didn't bring it with me? I have already stated earlier that the reason why I want to protect Xuhai is to recruit the Japanese and the Japanese, implement the plan of opening the sea, seek a way for the coastal people to make a living, and change the peace of the Ming Haijiang. As long as this plan is successful, what a pity will I die! ”

When he said this, he was righteous and strict, and even the two big men of the Zeng family couldn't help but forget to scold. When the woman in Tsing Yi heard this, she unconsciously used the sound to enter the secret book, and asked the girl in purple in a low voice: "Senior sister, what Yan Hong said seems to make sense, if I kill him just like this, it will be a little reckless, and how can I explain it to the master?" ”

The girl in purple also replied to her with secret techniques: "We originally wanted to kill the thief Xu Hai, but this guy volunteered to die on behalf of the thief, and we will take his life, which is not against chivalry." It was the master who asked, and I took it with all my might. Don't worry, wait for me to ask him slowly. ”

Then the woman in purple asked: "You keep saying that you are opening the sea, and opening the sea is really as beneficial as you say?" There are many overseas countries, and there are a lot of cunning and fierce people, is this business really so easy to do? You are in Beijing, how much can you know about overseas affairs, how can you make such a conclusion? ”

Yan Hong somewhat understood at this time that this Xia Ge's granddaughter was a curious baby. It seems that she is interested in the matter of opening the sea trade, so she saved her life and came to ask what happened. Then this is an opportunity, to say it yourself, to say that she is very interested, and it is best to be reluctant to kill herself. Even if you kill her, please her and make her happy.

Besides, now that they are surrounding themselves, no one is looking at the Mo family. These people probably regard the Mo family as their opponents, and Xue Yanniang has a good brain, if there is a way to report to the official, then she will be saved. As for going to sea, hehe, I Yan Hong has never been out, and you must not have been out. And as a person from the 21st century, who has played the Great Voyage, is it still difficult to fool you?

Thinking of this, Yan Hong even opened the storytelling shelf, cleared his throat, raised his left hand and said: "Xia Nuxia, it is true that I often live in Jingshi. However, Xiucai doesn't go out, but he knows the world, not to mention that I have other adventures. A few years ago, I was in the suburbs of Beijing and met a Western missionary named Michael. Jackson ......"

He was about to come up with the rhetoric that fooled Lu Bing at that time, but was interrupted by the girl in purple: "The missionary you are talking about, is it a big Buddha Lang machine man, or a little Buddha Lang machine man?" Why did he go to the vicinity of Jingshi to preach? Today, Banzai respects Taoism and has always contradicted other sects, so how can Fanren be allowed to preach near Jingshi? ”

Yan Hong couldn't help but be impressed by this granddaughter of Xia Ge. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is generally referred to as the Francophone for foreigners in Europe, and few people distinguish between the big and small Francophone machines (Spain and Portugal). And this girl in purple is just a reckless woman, and she can still tell the big and small Buddha Lang machine, which is really not simple.

Seeing that the other party was not good, Yan Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "That person is not a big or small Buddha man. There is a country named England overseas, and he is a priest there, although he is a missionary, in fact, he likes to travel around the world and see the scenery of all continents and seas. He was caught in a storm on a boat, shipwrecked and stranded in Tianjin, and then went from Tianjin to Beijing. It is said to be a missionary, but it is actually similar to begging, and the government naturally does not bother to pay attention to it. But I was idle, and I gave him a sum of money, and asked him to find a way to go south to the sea. It was during these days that he taught me a lot about overseas. ”

When the girl in purple heard Yingji, she frowned slightly and said, "The name of this country, it seems that I have heard that person say it?" I don't remember exactly. Then he asked, "The priest has taught you about overseas affairs, and must have taught you a few words, and I will know if you say a few words." ”

Yan Hong was completely shocked this time. Could it be that this girl on the other side has gone against the sky to the point where she even understands English? Said that he came from an English good or passed the fourth level, a few words of Gude Maoerling, Harrow is good, there is still okay. The problem is, he heard the old fat man say that old English and modern English are fundamentally different things. How ancient it was, how much grammar and vocabulary have changed in the past few hundred years, and I don't have a score at all. Forget it, let's not take the risk.

So Yan Hong smiled and said: "Hey, those words are very difficult to learn, and the priest is a stinky man, what is the meaning of learning from him?" ”

The girl in purple heard the other party's words and revealed a dirty energy, and couldn't help but slap the table and say, "Shut up!" People like you are really incorrigible. You will tell me honestly about the situation overseas, and if you dare to talk about it again, watch your tongue! ”

Although I don't know how the other party learned English, I'm afraid it has some dealings with the fan. At this moment, Yan Hong didn't dare to completely open his mouth. Fortunately, after all, he has the knowledge reserve of his previous life, and when he played the Age of Discovery, he did not accumulate less related peripherals, and he did not have bragging capital.

Thinking of this, Yan Hong said: "Woman, I'm a little thirsty, but I beg for a glass of water to drink to moisten my throat." ”

The girl in purple raised her eyebrows: "Where is there so much trouble!" The girl in Tsing Yi said softly: "Senior sister, this guy is pampered, and he is frightened, so he will give him a glass of water." And he went out. After a while, I saw her come in with a glass of cold water. Yan Hong thanked him repeatedly, took a sip, sighed comfortably, and then said:

"Since Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, my Ming ships have arrived directly in the Western countries, Xuanwei Zhuyi, and only then can all countries come to the court. These countries are very different in size, different in their customs and characters...... "He talked eloquently, and talked about the scaly claws he had accumulated from his previous life, and the overseas situation told by Wang Cuiqiao, Xu Hai, Xu Wenchang and others, which was full of fun.

After talking about these vassal countries in Asia, Yan Hong said: "However, the wind and water flow, and now, because my Celestial Empire has been forbidden to the sea for a long time, I have not been able to sail to the outer ocean and Xuanhua Tianwei, so in the land where my Celestial Empire is thousands of miles to the west, there are many countries that have risen. Nowadays, Portugal is known as the Little Franc Machine, and Spain is known as the Big Franc Machine, both of which are strong ships and cannons, not far away, attacking and destroying countries, plundering resources, and enriching their own countries. Even the original vassal states of our Ming Dynasty have many fallen into its grasp. In addition, there are also England, France, Germany, Russia, Sweden and other countries, all of which are actively enterprising and seeking hegemony. ”

Unconsciously, Yan Hong went to the West from Zheng He to the Age of Discovery, and finally had a doorkeeper on his lips, and he didn't say anything about Li Huamei and Yang Xien. As for Germany, it was a loosely organized Holy Roman Empire, and it was in the midst of a struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism. Russia was then only the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which had just been liberated from the Mongols' riding boots, and how could he remember all this.

Yan Hong smiled like a flower, and told the story eloquently, and he was very engaged. It's just that he is anxious as he talks, what is the efficiency of the inspection agency in this place, why hasn't anyone come? Could it be that after telling your own story, if you start a new one, the other party will spare your life and then continue to tell it tomorrow? No, it was one thousand and one nights, not the Ming Dynasty.

However, his mouth is like a river, and his voice is a little hoarse. Yan Hong suddenly slapped the table and said: "My Ming Dynasty used to have a mighty fleet, but because of its complacency, these small countries were arrogant in the foreign ocean, invaded my vassal states one by one, and plundered millions of wealth. On the contrary, the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty went to the sea to trade, but they had to be pursued by the government. This kind of elimination of one and the other's strengths makes Haijiang uneasy. If I am proactive and take the initiative to promote my prestige overseas, and the officers and soldiers protect my Ming people, and make all kinds of transactions, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people! Rank, this is the truth I want to talk about today. ”

When Yan Hong kept talking, the girl in purple listened very seriously, and thought for a moment from time to time. She was so involved that she ignored two points: one is that the Zeng family brother had already stood up impatiently and sat down several times, if it weren't for her high martial arts and big face, she would have ignored that set a long time ago, and directly beat Yan Hong to death with a few punches.

Another point is that while the beauty in Tsing Yi listened, a pair of apricot eyes turned a few times on Yan Hong, who was like a river, and the corners of her mouth showed a trace of an ambiguous smile from time to time, I don't know what thoughts were turning in her mind.

When Yan Hong finished speaking, the girl in purple said: "According to you, there is a large amount of silver overseas, as well as copper mines, as long as the sea trade is opened, these silver and copper can be used by the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Yes, not only that, but also gold and leather." In short, overseas financial resources are rolling and products are abundant. Most of the people overseas are interested in Wanghua, and they are very fond of my Ming tea, silk, porcelain, etc. The two sides communicate with each other, but in fact, everyone is happy. It's just that I'm locked up in the sea, and I can't make money. As long as you have money, recruit soldiers, and build weapons, it is a rich country and a strong army, and it is not a problem. He was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this girl in purple is also quite fond of money, and if she likes it, maybe she will have a little more vitality.

The woman in purple asked again: "If you say it, as long as Xu Hai returns to the sea this time, recruits the Japanese and the Kou, opens the sea for trade in the future, collects gold, silver and copper, and reorganizes the armament, then after the south of the Ming Dynasty is settled, we can raise troops to the north and recover the Hetao." Do you say yes and no? ”

Yan Hongxi raised his eyebrows, and quickly nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." The Mongolian Tartar soldiers were strong and strong, and now our Celestial Empire has been repeatedly attacked by them because of the lack of money. If the sea trade is opened, not only will the country's use be greatly increased, but it will also be possible to buy more artillery from the Franco-Rang country, repel the Tartars, and recover the Hetao, which is also very promising. What Xia Nuxia saw was really clever, and she deserved to be the queen of the famous family. ”
