Chapter 664: Solving the Strategy
"Huh, dear solution?" Philip opened the door and greeted him in broken Chinese. "Why are you here?"
"Did you find a chart and route to Fengmingzhou...... As long as we can sell that one to us, we are willing to pay more. ”
Xiucai, who was carrying the meat, smiled, and threw a hanging of fat meat on the table and put it down. "Feng Mingzhou's chart is confidential, and it is impossible to tell us about these students. If you wait another three or five years for Xie to become a big official, it may be possible to get ......" He was free and easy, and he didn't see anything outside when he entered the house, so he sat down at the table and poured a glass of wine: "Tsk, the wine is good, but it doesn't have the grape brewing of Fenglailou...... Isn't this wine from your West? Why is it not as authentic as our Huaxia? ”
Firut didn't bother to talk to him about grape making, but viciously snatched his glass and poured himself a drink. Xiucai, who was called Xie Jin, was stunned, but he was not angry, but he just laughed and said: "What happened to this Fei brother, so that he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows...... Wasn't he kicked out of the house by the sisters of Fullerhouse again? ”
Philip didn't answer, just looked at Xie Jin, still thinking about the method of obtaining the Fengming Continent Sea Chart in his mind.
This Xie Jin is a prisoner who is studying in the prison of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Unlike other prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, this Xie Jin's actions are not as straightforward as his classmates, although he is amazing in learning and unforgettable, he is also uninhibited and reckless. Listening to books in the tea house, listening to music in the hook column, this Xie Jin is a frequent visitor, spending a lot of money, fighting prostitutes and laughing, this Xie Jin has also done it.
He is a good friend of the Nine Streams and Three Sects, he is a ranger bandit, and there are also people who are friends with him, and he likes to drink heavily, he is good at clothes, and he has a thousand dollars a day, but it is still not enough to apply. At the beginning, although there were some wealthy businessmen who were willing to sponsor their education, they were really profligate, and those funders withdrew their funding.
However, Xie Jin is only a high talent after all, and he has his own way to make money, selling poems and words on weekdays, or writing articles to earn some manuscript fees in Yingtian Times, and his life in prison is still good. However, a few days ago, he fell in love with a lady in the Fuller Academy, and in order to be jealous, he promised fifty taels of silver to wrap his head, but on the second day, he had no money to pay.
When he was stripped of his coat and thrown out of the house, it happened that Philip was also kicked out because the bustard was afraid that he would scare the guests. When Philip heard that he was the prisoner of the country, he thought about it, and immediately paid for him as a prostitute, and only asked Xie Jin to draw the map of the Kunyu Wanguo that they had been thinking about for a long time.
This Xie Jin does not seem to have the same sense of mission as the other prisoners, for the fifty taels of silver, Xie Jin decisively sold the Kunyu Wanguo Map that the prisoners had spontaneously guarded for more than half a month.
Philip was pleasantly surprised, and when he saw the "Fengming Continent", he was even more ecstatic. How many gold and silver mines are there in such a large New World? It's just a pity that it's too far away from Britain, one is at the westernmost edge of the map, and the other is at the easternmost edge of the map......
From then on, Philip began to secretly fund the undisciplined prisoner, hoping that he would play a key role in his own needs.
Now that it is basically hopeless to go to Fengmingzhou from official channels, remembering that Xie Jin's identity is the prisoner of the Daming Kingdom, maybe he will have some other way, so Philip said: "Xie Jin, I know that you need a lot of money for you to squander...... As long as you can tell us the charts of the voyage to the New World, we can hand over to you all the wealth we have brought to the East, and even, give you one percent of the benefits you get every time you go to Fengmingzhou to pan for gold......"
"Oh?" The greedy prisoner's eyes lit up. "Can you tell me what happened to you in the past few days?"
So, Philip explained everything in detail about their encounters at the Maritime Safety Bureau and Honglu Temple.
Xie Jin thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" As long as you listen to a certain word, the chart is at your fingertips. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out three fingers: "However, one percent of the profit is too little, and Xie wants three percent." ”
"Solution, you're too greedy." Philip said. "Yicheng is already our greatest sincerity."
"You can only set one percent, but without Xie Mou's help, you can't get the remaining ninety percent." The old god Xie Jin was here, and he didn't look in a hurry at all. Looking at him, Philip thought that he really had a way, and the two bargained for a long time, and finally set the benefit of the profit sharing at 20%.
It wasn't until the two sides finished writing the divided documents and stamped their fingerprints that Xie Jin took the initiative to open his mouth: "What's so difficult if you want to follow the Daming fleet to Fengmingzhou?" Didn't the king of Chu, who was in charge of Honglu Temple, say everything? As long as you have a credential, he can help you operate. ”
"Then I'll send them a credential, won't you?"
"But, however, we have not met His Majesty the King, nor have we received credentials." Firut said.
"You Xiyi, you just don't know how to work......" Xie Jin said with a smile. What Your Majesty, here in China, does anyone know the King of Britain who is far away in the world? ”
"It's just a national letter, I found a silk cloth to write, and carved a carrot into a big seal, will anyone have a way to pierce it?"
"Among the tens of thousands of people in China, no one knows the appearance of the Britannica, and even very few people know about your small country."
"Who can tell the difference between the real and the fake? Or are you afraid that your British emperor will come all the way to the Ming Dynasty to ask you if your sin is not true? ”
"......" Philip and Firut looked at each other, although Xie Jin's sentence "small country" sounded a little harsh, but the words were not rough, even if they really forged the national letter, the sky was high in Britain, and His Majesty the King had no way to take it. The hearts of the two Xiyi were already pounding at this time, but Philip was still a little hesitant: "But...... However, the sixth prince said that in the letter of state, Britain should be called a minister to the Ming Dynasty......"
"To be a minister is to be a minister, but it is a false name. Why not give this false name to get real gold and benefits? Xie Jin shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent. You Xiyi don't care about any integrity, do you still want to be unsuccessful? ”
I always felt that this sentence seemed a bit harsh, but Philip, who had only learned Chinese for a while, only suspected that he had misunderstood it again. After thinking about it again, I felt that what Xie Jin said was indeed very right, a worthless forged national certificate could be exchanged for the opportunity to go to Fengmingzhou and real money, and there was no more cost-effective deal.
"Dear Jie, you're not like those pedantic Han doctors." Philip, who was easily solved the problem in a few words, suddenly felt like he had seen the light of day. He looked at Xie Jin, although he still felt sorry for the profits and gold and silver that he had promised to go out, but he also had a heartfelt appreciation and admiration. "You should come to our Britain, and with your wisdom, you will surely become the king's most trusted minister and assistant!"
