A group of foreign envoys gathered outside the gate of Changfu early, and heard that Changfu was going to openly bid for ultra-thin business.

These envoys are like hungry wolves that smell the smell of flesh, and they pounce on them early in the morning.

The foreign envoys from several small countries around the Ming Dynasty gathered together and whispered,

"How's your preparation?"

"Then you don't need to ask, it must be inevitable! Now everyone knows that Daming has all kinds of high-quality and inexpensive goods, and the most important thing now is to have a relationship with this Changfu!

Once born, twice cooked, and three times, don't you come and go? ”

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that you will clean up like Goryeo and Wajima?"

When the bearded fat man who was about to win in front heard this, he glanced at the foreign envoy who said this sour word, lowered his voice, and asked rhetorically,

"What? You worry so much, why are you still worried about this business?

Just go back and keep the money to increase your armament. ”

The Ryukyu foreign envoy was a bearded and fat man, and his tone was prickly, and the other thin foreign envoy was stunned,

Originally, the fifteen small countries around the Ming Dynasty were designated by Hong Wuye as non-levy countries, but they were just not levy, not to mention the tributary trade during the Yongle Emperor period, and the commercial dealings between the Ming Dynasty and it were not even much.

In the first two years of the Ming Dynasty, the conquest of Goryeo Wadao and other countries was like a bamboo, and they blatantly tore up their verbal promises, and scared these small countries into huddling together, huddling together for warmth, and shivering.

"You!"

The thin envoy was speechless, and could only glare angrily at the bearded fat man of Ryukyu,

However, even if you don't want to admit what the bearded fat man said, you can only admit that these small countries can still exist now, it is completely the mercy of the Ming Dynasty, and you have to rely on people to survive just by snorting.

To put it mildly, when on the pilgrimage, if you get up because you knock your head on the head of the bed, and choose to conquer these small countries around you in a fit of anger, then everyone can only accept their fate.

There's no way, life and death are all in the hands of others,

It's like the bearded man said, since that's all the way, why are you still thinking about so much?

It's good to have some money!

Seeing the two of them glaring angrily, the foreign envoys of the other small countries next to them all made kind words and said,

"Okay, okay, take a step back."

"That's right."

"What's there to be noisy about?"

"Humph!" The thin envoy snorted coldly, and no longer bothered with the bearded fat man, but just twisted his head to the side,

But look at him like this, and his two feet are like stakes nailed to the ground, and they don't move a moment.

Obviously, it is also necessary to participate in the bidding of the Changfu.

"Virtue!"

The bearded fat man also snorted coldly, twisting his head to the side, he was not used to looking at the thin man's foreign envoy, this disgusting body is right,

But in fact, these remaining small countries that do not conquer are not known to have only one reason why His Majesty did not conquer them.

Their territory is too poor and too broken,

Not only are there no immediately available resources, not even a lot of complete arable land, coupled with the rugged and complex terrain, many mountains, forests and swamps,

Even if it is defeated, it is useless, and it is useless to use it in such a place, sending one more soldier and paying one more person's military salary, it is distressing, it is better to slowly develop assimilation,

On this side, the foreign envoys of the country of non-conquest gathered, and on the other side, Marco Polo Jr. stood with Gandhi,

Little Marco Polo looked at these foreign envoys with sorrowful eyes, and said in a worried tone towards Gandhi,

"Friend, this situation is a bit bad, they are all together, we are helpless, can we come down and order goods?"

Seeing that Gandhi was calm and didn't seem to care about what was going on here, Marco Polo frowned, he desperately needed to pull Gandhi to his side, Italy and the Delhi Sultanate, the two countries had to unite in order to win a place in this bidding.

Marco Polo Jr. leaned over to Gandhi and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear,

"My friend, the current Ming is an awakened dragon, look at the appearance of those neighboring foreign envoys,

Daming is too strong, it is definitely not a good thing for the surrounding countries, and the Delhi Sultanate is also one of them, sooner or later, the Delhi Sultanate will pay the price because of the strength of the Ming,

And my country exists across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful the Ming is, it can't hit my country.

So, I am saying these things to you today for you, my friend, and I want to cooperate with you out of friendship. ”

Speaking of this, little Marco Polo himself felt uncomfortable, if he hadn't come to China in person, he would never have thought that there was such a powerful country standing in the East.

And now, in the West, all the knowledge of the East comes from his grandfather's book, the Acts of Marco Polo,

Westerners think that Easterners are stupid and have a lot of money, and Marco Polo knows that any contempt for the Ming will pay a heavy price.

If it weren't for the distance between the two countries, Marco Polo would be able to temporarily relax his mind, and Marco Polo, as the first person in the West to open his eyes to the world, would probably be so anxious that he couldn't sleep.

"Friends." Gandhi opened his eyes.

"I'm here! You said! ”

After hearing Gandhi's voice, Marco Polo came back to his senses, but there was a hostile gaze on him.

"Friend, friend... Is there anything I have offended you about? ”

"Don't you know what you said yourself?"

Gandhi snorted coldly, aggressively.

Marco Polo Jr. thought about his words carefully, although he was a little selfish, but he said that there was no problem in general, the stronger the Ming Dynasty, the more it became a threat to the Delhi Sultanate, and Gandhi, as the foreign envoy of the Delhi Sultanate, could not think of this!

Besides, yesterday I looked at the drainage network of Yingtianfu, and I was choked with Gandhi acid, why, today is the same as a different person?

"I... Where did I say something wrong? ”

Marco Polo looked at Gandhi and asked with sincerity in his eyes,

Gandhi saw that Marco Polo did not mean it, his tone was a little kinder, and he said,

"Friend, I don't want to hear anything slandering the Ming Dynasty in your mouth in the future, okay?

If you can do that, you will still be my friend, and as my friend, you will get more than you can imagine. ”

After speaking, Gandhi closed his eyes again, and his lips opened slightly to chant the Buddhist scriptures,

And little Marco Polo listened to it completely blinded, what is it talking about,

How did the Chancellor of the Delhi Sultanate become a demon in the blink of an eye?

With a click, the gate of Changfu was pushed open,

The foreign envoys who were talking in front of the window and door hurriedly stopped talking and looked at the Changfu together.

And before little Marco Polo could react, a strong wind suddenly set off around him,

A figure was like a black blind man, jumping out in an instant, and the speed was jaw-dropping.

Gandhi rushed to Chang Er like a licking dog, and said in a loud voice,

"Lord Chang! What is the command! ”

Marco Polo: "??? ”
