As soon as they got on the big ship, everyone was stunned by Fanning's 25,000 stone giant, they all came on a 3,000 stone Arab ship, compared to Fanning's huge ship, it was simply the difference between a dwarf and a giant, how could they not be shocked?

Especially with a million stone ships behind them, even their Holy Roman Empire was beyond the reach of the dust, and this was only a small part of the ships of the kingdom below the Eastern Empire, which made them have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Eastern Empire.

But Fanning didn't expect that they actually brought their own servants, Banser brought a few loyal swordsmen, who were actually bodyguards, and a maid to take care of his daughter's daily life, and in addition, he also bought his daughter a little black slave girl named Ruth in Alexandria.

"How does Mr. Banser feel?"

Fanning and Bansai sat on the deck with a pipe and smoked, and Bansai was obsessed with the taste of smoke, and every time he smoked, he was refreshed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to thank you, I'm already intoxicated with it, and without it in the future, what should I do?"

In fact, not only Banse, but also nine other European businessmen were also fascinated by it.

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "This is actually a big business opportunity, we can work together to monopolize the tobacco market in the West, and in the entire East, only the Chu State produces this kind of tobacco, and the tobacco of the Song Empire is also provided by us." ”

Bansai was so excited, he wanted to bring it up for a long time.

"Your Majesty, we coincide!"

The two laughed, and at this time, Asabel ran over, she was wearing a white lace-up tight top, a white wide skirt underneath, at least 1.7 meters tall, and a pearl golden hairpin given to her by Fanning was inserted in her golden hair.

She saluted Yingying Fanning, and Fanning smiled: "I know, it's time to study." ”

"Is Mr. Bansay going back to the cabin?"

"Go first! I'm going to smoke a little more and enjoy the sea breeze. ”

Fanning led Asabel back to the cabin, Bansai squinted at his daughter happily holding Fanning's arm, he knew that his daughter was very infatuated with the young king of the East, and even the other companions could see it, and when they drank, they half jokingly and half seriously persuaded him, and simply marry his daughter to the young king of the East, and he would become the biggest merchant in the whole of Europa.

Bansai was of course very impressed, and he knew very well how much of a benefit tea and tobacco could bring, so why did he establish a strong trade relationship with the young king?

Friendship? It doesn't seem to be able to talk about it, interests? But the Italians would never give him less benefits, and Bansai thought of marriage, and if his daughter could marry him, then the financial path would be stable.

Of course, Ban Sai also found that Fanning liked his daughter very much, of course her daughter was excellent, although she was only twelve years old, but the posture of a beauty had been formed, with beautiful blonde hair, snow-white skin, and tall figure, very much like her mother, especially her eyes were as blue as jewels, and in four or five years, she could get married, and he didn't believe that Fanning would not be tempted.

Bansai's wife died of illness a few years ago, leaving him with three sons and a daughter, the eldest son followed him in business, the second son worked as a court guard, the third son studied at the seminary, and the daughter was Asabel, although she was only twelve years old, her appearance began to show amazing beauty, and many people had already proposed to him, and even several princes of the principality.

But Banse is a merchant after all, and a merchant thinks about maximizing profits, even if her daughter becomes the queen of a certain grand duchy, can she compare with the largest merchant in the empire and even the whole of Europa?

By seizing this opportunity, the Ludwigs may gradually become the most wealthy and powerful families in the Holy Roman Empire.

Perhaps she should have been left with the young king for a few more years to learn the art of tea.

Bamse made up his mind, and he decided to find an opportunity to make the matter clear to Fanning and let his daughter be by his side.

............

Fan Ning also found that Asabel liked him very much, and followed him from morning to night, the reason for which Fan Ning also vaguely guessed that he was once under one person, above ten thousand people, and once led a million army to slaughter Xia and Liao, and naturally there will be a strong aura on his body, which of course has a strong attraction to Asabel, who has lost her mother since childhood and longs for a sense of security.

Although Asabel was only twelve years old, the young girl in the West had developed early and had already shown a certain temptation, and although Fanning did not admit it, in fact he was also a little fascinated by this beautiful medieval European girl.

Akihito also hinted to him that if he didn't want to leave this girl behind, then don't let her fall too deep, but Akihito didn't know that it was Fanning himself who was a little difficult to control, and since he couldn't control it, Fanning had to let it go.

"Asabel, today we are learning Chinese characters, you can write the words I taught you yesterday?"

Asabel picked up a brush and drew a fish on the paper, wrote a fish word next to it, drew a turtle, wrote a turtle word next to it, and then smiled mischievously: "Isn't it?" ”

Fanning was surprised that he hadn't taught her like this!

"How did you come up with that?"

"When I was writing about fish and turtles yesterday, it occurred to me that they are not like a fish and a turtle?"

Fanning gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are really smart, a large part of Chinese characters are evolved from pictographs." ”

Asabel was praised by Fanning, her face flushed with excitement, and she hurriedly asked, "Then what are the other words?" Teach me again, I like it very much. ”

"There are many more, such as the sun, which is the sun, Dan, which is the sun that has just risen, the moon, like a crescent moon, the mountain, is it like a mountain, and the water, and the horse, and the door, the wood, the hand, the sheep, ........"

"Your Majesty, please wait, I can't remember." Asabel panicked.

"It's okay, I'll teach you later, but don't call me Your Majesty, you can change your name."

"Is it called Brother Fan? I asked Mr. Akihito. ”

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "You can call me an official in the future!" ”

..........

That morning, when the fleet arrived at Noumi Island, where the men had gone out to fight, and the tribe was full of women and children, Akihito took Bamse and his party to visit the Platinum Mine.

In the Song Dynasty, it was called white copper, but in Europe it was called white gold, which was as valuable as silver.

Fanning had promised to sell them a batch of cupronickel at a low price, so that they could have extra money to buy tobacco.

These merchants from the north of the Holy Roman Empire were indeed shabby, they did not bring glass, cotton cloth, and blankets to the East like the Genoese merchants, many of them actually brought wine, blankets, and even cheese and other goods, and Bainsey was shrewd, and he brought a dozen large chests of precious stones and gold.

In order to bring tobacco and tea to Europe, Fanning decided to be generous, accepting their goods at a high price, and giving them some silk and fine ceramics fired by the North Island himself before leaving.

Fanning stood at the bow of the boat, Asabel snuggled up to him like a bird, Fanning took her shoulder, and after a month of spending time together, the beautiful European maiden had become deeply infatuated with the young king of the East.

Just three days ago, Fanning and Ban Sai also formally signed a negotiation agreement. The Ludwig family was solely responsible for the sale of tobacco and tea from the North Island comptoirs in the West, and other merchants did not get this agreement.

The basis for supporting this agreement is Bansai's daughter Asabel, who will marry Fanning at the age of sixteen, and use the marriage bond to build the long-term, stable and exclusive nature of this agreement, which is also a common culture between the East and the West.

Although the other merchants did not get the eye-catching tobacco sales agreement, they also had a good harvest, they could do the tea business of the North Island Commercial Bank, which did not have a monopoly on the tea of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, they can directly get the goods at preferential prices at the commercial houses in Xingang, such as silk, porcelain, paper, tea, cane sugar, honey, coconut oil and all kinds of daily necessities of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Fanning generously gave Bansai ten large ships of 10,000 stones, not steam engine ships, of course, but traditional multi-masted galleons, which were sealed in the shipyard to be remodeled, and Fanning gave them directly to Bansai.

With these 10,000 stone ships, Bansai recruited dozens of fellow merchants to his command and formed the North Germanic Chamber of Commerce, which gradually became the largest alliance of chambers of commerce in the Holy Roman Empire more than ten years later.

Banse was also canonized as Duke of Rüdesheim by the Holy Roman Emperor, Heinrich IV, for his special relationship with the Eastern Empire and the huge wealth accumulated by his family, which he continued for more than 500 years.
