Chapter 119

Bobby's hair is gray and a little curly. The cheeks are shaggy and the eyes are blue and beautiful, which reminds people of huskies at first sight.

"Your Excellency, you are so young. There is a saying in your country that is young and promising, and I feel that this sentence is tailor-made for you. When Bobby saw John come in with Li Xiao, he immediately walked over happily.

"Mr. Bobby, you're welcome, I heard that you are the governor of Macau?" Li Xiaopi looked at Bobby with a smile, and at first glance he still looked like a husky.

"Oh! This is a misunderstanding in translation, in fact I am the governor of the island of Java in the East Indies. However, the empire had interests in all of East Asia, and it could not spare people to manage it. Therefore, the affairs of Macao are also managed by me. By spreading falsehoods, I became the governor of Macao.

We have never denied that Macao is your territory. However, we have leased land in your country, and we have corresponding rights. We pay rent to your government every year! ”

Ai Husheng's translation skills are very strong, and he translates Bobby's meaning very clearly.

"I see, but the legend is wrong." I wanted to talk about the title of Bobby, the governor, but I didn't expect Bobby to pick it up.

"These gentlemen are ......!" Bobby looked behind him.

"This is my brother Li Hu, this is Mr. Ai Husheng, he is in charge of my translation."

"Ahh Fortunately! Fortunately!

Young adults, you don't know what your rank is ......! Bobby called out to the attendant and brought him a glass of amber wine. Li Xiao didn't know if it was whiskey or something else, but it wasn't red wine anyway. In foreign wine, Li Xiao only knows red wine. Huang Bulaji's thing is called champagne, and Li Xiao doesn't know if it's wine.

Ai Husheng glanced at Li Xiao and saw that Li Xiao nodded: "Our adults are the chief military officer of Daming Mountain Customs!" ”

"Oh! Shanhaiguan, Mr. Adam has been to the north of your country. There are a lot of topics to talk about! Bobby turned to look at a middle-aged blond man beside him.

"Hello, Chief Officer. I'm shocked that you can manage so many armies at such a young age. My name is Johann Adam Schal von BΓΆhr, a native of Prussia. I also have a Chinese name called Tang Ruowang.

Four years ago, I once went to the back border of your country as an instructor. Teach the soldiers there to use our firearms, your soldiers are very studious. I have a friend named Sun Yuanhua, and I don't know how it's now. If you see him, please say hello to him on my behalf. ”

When this guy said a foreign name, Li Xiao was not cold. But when he heard that the guy in front of him was the famous Tang Ruowang, Li Xiao immediately came to his senses. Look at the celebrity in front of you at a glance!

It's really a celebrity, this guy mixed from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in history. Not only did he have a good relationship with the ruler, but he even used his influence. A church was built in a place like Beijing, but this guy's identity was a missionary. But looking at the clothes he was wearing, it seemed to be a little Chinese.

"Lord Sun is now the governor of Denglai, and he is also a third-grade official of the imperial court. If there is a chance, this official will definitely greet Master Sun on behalf of Mr. Tang. "Since Tang Ruowang has mentioned someone, Li Xiao naturally knows that this must not be fake.

"Oh! Thanks a lot! Tang Ruowang saluted Li Xiao very politely, and actually hugged his fists to salute. If you don't look at the face, you will really think that this German is Chinese.

"Huh! Your Excellency, this is Mr. Nikolai. He was a member of the Habsburg family and held a distinguished status. This is his daughter, Miss Nikolaeva. Seeing that John Tang was very knowledgeable and didn't say much, Bobby immediately introduced others to Li Xiao.

When Nikolaeva was introduced, Li Xiao glanced at this little girl. It's so beautiful, a lot like Nicole Kidman when she was younger!

Nikolaeva stretched out her hand, and the kiss hand salute was popular among the Western aristocracy.

Li Xiao is not used to gnawing on the claws of beautiful women as pig's trotters, but other people's hands are stretched out again. Li Xiao could only shake hands and smile at Nikolaeva.

Now Li Xiao's brain is not on the beauty at all, and seeing Tang Ruowang makes him overjoyed. He was hoping to know something about rubber from the mouth of this German, who spoke Chinese fluently.

These days, Westerners don't care much about nationality. Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where the Dutchman became general manager of the Portuguese East India Company. Even Bobby, the governor of the East Indies island of Java, was a Dutchman.

The attitude of the West now is to use people, and Columbus is Italian. But it represents the discovery of the New World of America by Spain, which allows the Spaniards to grab a huge amount of benefits in the Americas.

Especially in the Far East, there are not many foreigners. People in many countries, because of their skin color, living habits and beliefs, most of them have the meaning of huddling together for warmth. In addition, John Tong is also a member of the church, and he will also get a lot of news from within the church.

"Mr. Tang's knowledge of firearms ......!" Smiling at Nikolaeva's knowledge, Li Xiao started talking to John Tang again. Nikolai and Nikolaeva next to him were somewhat embarrassed, but John, who was standing next to Li Xiao, looked relaxed.

This kid is quite interesting, and he doesn't rob women with Lao Tzu.

Bobby only thinks that Li Xiao can talk better with John Tang, who can speak Chinese. After smiling and confessing his sin, he went to greet the other guests. It seems that Li Xiao is not interested in Nikolaeva, and has to find other ways to get to the bottom of this chief military officer. Bobby turned around and found Li Hu standing behind Li Xiao looking around.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he heard that the kid was Li Xiao's own brother.

Li Xiao pulled Tang Ruowang to talk endlessly, and Li Hu was very bored on the side. When I was bored, a very beautiful blonde woman came over. The woman's clothes were very revealing, her entire shoulders exposed to the air, and the two balls on her chest were half exposed.

I don't know how to get that waist, it's very, very thin. The most exaggerated thing is the kind of skirt that is propped up like an umbrella, and those who know it are skirts, and those who don't know think they have a tent.

The woman took a glass of wine and handed it to Li Hu.

"Oriental, what's your name?" Nikolaeva asked in very stiff Chinese.

"Fuck, red-haired pussies can speak human words too?" Li Hu's eyes widened, as if he had really seen a ghost.

"What the fuck? What do I mean by fucking? "Nikolaeva's innocent big eyes, as clear as the waters of Lake Baikal. Blinking and looking at Li Hu!

"What the fuck mean ......!" Li Hu approached Nikolaeva with a wicked smile on his face.

John began to grind his teeth.

"Oh! The thing you're talking about is called rubber, and it's waterproof and sealed. In the desert, this thing is a good water bladder. And when this thing is inflated, it can float on the surface of the sea. Some people have already made rubber rings out of this thing, which can make people float on the water without sinking when filled with air. Even people who can't swim no longer have to worry about drowning. ”

Li Xiao didn't have time to watch the Europeans dance, so he and John Tang came to a corner with rattan chairs. The waiter brought snacks and drinks, and the two chatted all over the world.

"Where did you find such a good thing?" Li Xiao is clearly interested in rubber.

"The Portuguese got it from the Americas, do you know the Americas? It was a land of gold and silver, but I didn't have a chance to see it.

To tell you an interesting fact, someone once brought back a garment made of rubber from America. When it rains, the rain can't get the clothes wet. As a result, the man was accused of witchcraft and tried by the Inquisition.

Now in Paris, but also in London. There are already people who wear rubberized clothes and boots when it rains. Use it to protect clothes and shoes from getting wet from rain. ”

Speaking of what Li Xiao didn't understand, John Tang began to talk about it. Li Xiao looked like a good baby, listening to the side.

"I heard that in Java, there are already people introducing rubber. But I've only heard that you're going to ask Mr. Bobby. He is the governor of the island of Java! John Tong pointed to Bobby, who was chatting happily with his dance partner.

"What have you heard, beautiful Miss Nikolai!" Bobby danced and asked Nikolaeva about the results of the battle.

"His brother had an army of several thousand men and had just defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu, the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom. Although he is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he has not yet taken office. Their family was originally just farmers and had no background.

And his parents were both killed by the Jurchens, and that Li Xiao has today, and he works his own. Oh yes! They live in a place called Phi Island, and I don't know where that is.

That's all I can say, you can forgive my father's debts. Nikolaeva took out what was in Li Hu's mouth and wanted Bobby to shake it off.

"I see! Little girl, it is not easy to forgive your father's debts. I heard you're still a virgin ......! Bobby looked at the peachy Nikolaeva with a smile that all men know.

"You liar!" Nikolaeva was a little angry, and the little hands tried to break free from Bobby's big hands.

"Oh! No! I didn't deceive you and your father, what we wanted was for that young Ming man to be our helper. And you didn't make us achieve our goal, so ...... I can't forgive your father's debt for the time being.

Perhaps you can think of other ways to pay off your debts. You know, I'm waiting for you. Bobby looked at John in the distance, and the smile on his face was even stronger.

"My father shouldn't have believed you! It was you who let him do the silk business in the first place, and it was you who let him venture to sea during the typhoon season. Now that the ship has sunk, you have left our family in heavy debt. It's all a trap for you! Nikolaeva's eyes were like a little she-wolf, eager to bite this beast-faced guy to death.

"Miss Nikolai, business practices are mostly risky. No one can enjoy profits without taking risks. Since your father wants to make more money, I'm just offering some advice. The profits of silk sold during the typhoon season are 30% higher than those in other seasons.

If your father didn't covet that 30% of the profits, how could he go bankrupt? It was not me who harmed your father, but your father's greed. ”

"You're ......!"
