Chapter 116: Natural Rubber
Duan Ling'er and Ye Baiqing, Wen Shanchang, and Wei Yuntian have met, and the elder brother shouted affectionately, and when he arrived at Xiao Ye, he was stunned for a moment, this should be a younger brother, right?
This kid is thin and small, with an ugly face, and he doesn't look like a master of the rivers and lakes, why does the chief helmsman say that he is the reincarnation of a god with extremely high martial arts?
Xiao Ye followed Xiao Chen to become famous in several battles, and now there are many people who know his name, especially in the army, his deeds are widely circulated, everyone knows that Lord Xiao has a younger brother who is infinitely powerful and brave.
It's like a god.
Xiao Xinghan has many eyes and ears, so he naturally knows it.
Several people greeted Duan Ling'er and said goodbye first, knowing that the two of them must have a lot to say......
"My second brother sent you?" Xiao Chen got straight to the point.
"Yes, he asked me to protect you." Duan Ling'er was not ashamed.
"The second brother is too worried, but he doesn't need to." Xiao Chen wanted to see if there was a possibility of sending her away.
"The chief helmsman said, you have to keep me no matter what, and I will be the liaison between you and the Tianxuan Society in the future!" Duan Ling'er doesn't want to come at all, okay?
It's just that the order of the chief helmsman is not easy to disobey.
"Then why send someone else, why send you stupid little girl?" Xiao Chen couldn't figure it out.
said that Tianxuan would be able to have so many people......
"You're stupid!" Duan Ling'er was furious, raised her hand and wanted to hit someone, but when she thought about it, she glared at her eyes stupidly.
"Well, then what will you do? I'll arrange for you. Xiao Chen sighed.
"I'm going to kill!" Duan Ling'er said loudly, "You arrange me to Li Wanjiang's side, I'll kill him when I find an opportunity!" ”
"It's okay, I'll arrange it when I go back." Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? Are you sure? Duan Ling'er was surprised and delighted, she thought that Xiao Chen would not allow her to do this, saying that the chief helmsman did not allow it......
Alas......
It is impossible to arrange Duan Ling'er to be an assassin by Li Wanjiang's side, but it is no problem to bring her into the palace, Xiao Chen directly incorporated her into the West Factory, anyway, he has the final say in recruiting people in the West Factory.
and Chen Xiaohu and Chen Gou'er, the two teenagers, were also left in the West Factory by Xiao Chen, these two brothers are strong, honest and simple and very righteous, Xiao Chen likes them very much.
Lin Dongyang was well-informed, and when he heard that Lord Xiao's cousin was coming, he set up a small banquet in the mansion in his personal name to catch his cousin.
It's hard to resist the enthusiasm, and Xiao Chen can only promise.
However, before the banquet, he solemnly warned Duan Ling'er, don't talk nonsense during the meal! If it shows the horse's feet and makes Lin Dongyang suspicious, I ...... Second brother will never spare you!
Duan Ling'er said that she received it!
So no matter what Lin Dongyang asked her during the banquet, she didn't say a word with a straight face......
"Country girl, I haven't seen the world, so I make adults laugh." Xiao Chen was going to be angry, and he had to help her cover up.
"It is very commendable to make my cousin like a naturally carved jade, not stained by a single firework in the world." Lin Dongyang naturally wouldn't bother with her little girl.
While chatting happily, someone suddenly came to report that the prefect of Anyang and several officials in charge of port affairs had something to see.
Lin Dongyang ordered them to come in, but saw that in addition to a few Jiangnan County officials, there was also a blonde and blue-eyed bearded foreigner?
What's going on?
As soon as he saw Lin Dongyang's bearded foreigner, he became excited, pointing fingers and shouting.
Hearing Lin Dongyang's bewildered face, what kind of bird language is this? I don't understand.
But Xiao Chen understood, this is English dialect, referred to as English, although the accent is somewhat strange, but it is not much different from modern English.
"He asked you why you were holding his ship and cargo?" Xiao Chen hadn't spoken yet, but Duan Ling'er, who had been silent, spoke first.
It turns out that she also understands English?
"Oh, this eldest lady can actually understand him? That's great! The officials who came with him were all overjoyed.
In fact, some of them know foreign languages, but they are all Dongying and Kipros, but none of them know English.
Because the Great Zhou has been closed off since its establishment, there is no ocean trade at all, and there is no talent in this area.
I had been arguing with this bearded man in the port for a long time just now, and no one could understand what the other party meant, so I could only come to the governor to make a decision.
The bearded man was also very happy to finally meet someone to talk to......
But it turned out that the bearded man's name was Wilson, a merchant from the distant other side of the ocean, he was loaded with a shipload of goods ready to be transported to Dongying, but he encountered a big typhoon at sea, was blown off course, and the ship was also damaged by the wind and waves, so he could only be forced to dock at the port of Anyang.
Ignoring his strong protests, the port officials directly brought people onto the ship to search, and found that the goods they were transporting were very suspicious, and they didn't know what they were. The preliminary judgment may be gunpowder......
After reading their navigation charts, I was going to Dongying, but could I rely on this?
Even if you take it off!
"Oh buy it, I've said it countless times, NO gunpowder! It's rubber, natural rubber, that's collected from trees, do you know what a rubber tree is? Wilson was anxious to explain.
Well? When Xiao Chen heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
"You say your goods are all rubber?" Xiao Chen's English is much more standard than Duan Ling'er.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and once again refreshed their understanding of Xiao Chen.
It's no wonder that the big guys say that you are a Wenqu star, and you can even speak bird language!
Even Duan Ling'er was taken aback, she didn't expect this waste prince to speak English so well......
"Choking! Orfo lives by death! Thank God, I finally know what I'm talking about! Wilson's beard shook with excitement.
But hearing is false, seeing is believing, Xiao Chen didn't eat anymore, and immediately rushed to the port with the big guy, but saw that Wilson's ship was loaded with natural rubber!
Others didn't think anything about it, but Xiao Chen was very excited, he knew the importance of rubber too well!
When he ordered An Yang Mansion to immediately send craftsmen to help Mr. Wilson repair the ship, and asked them to prepare all kinds of vegetables, meat, and fresh water to send to the ship at once, and restored the freedom of their ship.
It made Wilson very moved, hugged Xiao Chen deeply, and didn't say anything, you will be my Wilson's friend in the future!
Best friend!
But how can I repay you when you have given me so much?
"Dear Mr. Wilson, we are all friends, shouldn't we help you? I don't need anything in return from you...... So what, do you like to drink? Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Dear Xiao, everyone loves to drink!" Wilson smiled happily.
"But I think you're pretty average." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh oh! Even though we're friends, I won't allow you to underestimate how much I drink! Wilson's eyes widened.
"Then I'll have to measure you up today." Xiao Chen said he didn't believe it.
"If you're not afraid of getting drunk with me." Wilson shrugged.
Looking at the two of them calling each other brothers, hooking their shoulders and walking away, the big guys looked at each other, and they didn't know what the situation was?
looked at Duan Ling'er together.
"They said they were going to drink." Duan Ling'er said.
