Fang Jifan felt strange when he heard him say that he had admired your name for a long time.
This is somewhat like a paradox.
Those who have admired the name of Fang Jifan for a long time will definitely not smile so happily at this moment.
??But as someone who has admired Fang Jifan¡¯s name for a short time, how dare you fool me, Fang Jifan, and say that you have admired me for a long time, do you deserve a beating?
Fang Jifan was happy: "Please drink tea."
Wang Xizuo did not pick up the tea cup. He was not sensitive to Eastern tea, which was too bitter.
Fang Jifan sipped his tea and said, "I heard that you took good care of my disciples along the way."
Wang Xizuo shook his head: "This is what should be done. Your Excellency Xu Jing and I are friends. Along the way, we formed a deep friendship."
"Yes." Fang Jifan said solemnly: "I heard that he also got your name. This shows how close your relationship is."
Wang Xi was amused: "Yes, yes, we are inseparable. Your Excellency, actually, I have something to ask of you. I hope to meet the Ming Emperor in person. I hope your Excellency, the earl, can recommend him to me."
¡°¡¡± This guy is a bit of a loser.
If you see you, I still want to see it every day.
Fang Jifan smiled and said: "I wonder what you are doing?"
Wang Xi said: "That's it. I've heard for a long time that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was a benevolent and charitable person"
Fang Jifan wanted to say in his heart, maybe you have some misunderstanding about charity. Damn it, the gold belt he gave me was all made of copper.
Wang Xizuo continued: "His reputation has spread throughout the West, and Portugal has long admired his reputation, so we hope to ask the Ming Emperor for permission to find a land to protect our merchants. Let us do business with the Ming Dynasty here."
He said it very seriously.
I even felt that the young earl at the moment, so young, would definitely nod in agreement without hesitation.
Fang Jifan immediately thought of Macau and couldn't help but smile: "This doesn't matter. You also know that the Ming Emperor is kind, but he has one small thing."
Xu Jing stood aside with an expressionless face, saying in his heart, my mentor has started to cheat again in the name of His Majesty.
Fang Jifan said: "You should know that my Ming Dynasty wants to build ships."
"I know." Wang Xizuo was wary. The Ming Empire suddenly became interested in the ocean, which made him a little anxious. Although he helped Xu Jing along the way, according to his experience, that ship was a piece of human scum. The shipbuilding level of the ship is actually not high.
It¡¯s not a design problem, although there are some flaws in the design, especially This ship is more like a transport ship and does not have the capability of naval combat. But the most important thing is the issue of skills.
Portugal has always been located in a corner of the Iberian Peninsula. The Kingdom of Spain next to it is a behemoth to them. They have no way to expand on land. Therefore, over hundreds of years, they have accumulated a lot of shipbuilding experience. Their Ships have been verified in the Mediterranean, including North and East African waters, and even in the Western Ocean.
Many craftsmen's skills, even just driving a rivet, even just painting, even what kind of wood should be used for ship boards, and how to process it to ensure its sturdiness and resistance to seawater corrosion, all of this has been accumulated over many years. , reached a superb level.
"This kind of experience and skills, in Wang Xizuo's opinion, is something that the scum of the world, Wang Bushihao, cannot see."
Of course, the Ming Dynasty has been banned from shipping for hundreds of years, so how could it accumulate any highly skilled shipwrights?
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty hopes to build a batch of ships. First, he will hire you and a group of Franconian craftsmen to temporarily stay in our country to guide them. Don't worry, you don't need to do this kind of laborious work. You are by your side." Just give me some advice. The money is easy to talk about and I guarantee that the ship will be built. Each of you will be rich enough to make a fortune."
Wang Xizuo frowned: "But most of the craftsmen who came here with the Wang Bushi are not clever shipwrights. They are only responsible for the maintenance of passing ships, and I"
"I have already decided, do you like gold? Let's be honest, how many pounds do you want?"
"What?" Wang Xizuo was stunned.
It was the first time he heard someone say that gold is measured in kilograms.
"One pound for each person. When a boat comes out, as long as there is no serious problem with the ship, each of you will have one pound of gold. Of course, since you and Xu Jing are friends, I will give you three pounds."
Wang Xizuo began to be confused. He knew the measurement units of the Ming Dynasty., looked at Fang Jifan with admiration: "Young Master really has a way."
Fang Jifan gently lifted out his fingers and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "They are all swollen." He blew on his fingers and felt that his fingers were no longer his own.
"By the way." Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Guard Yang is asking what kind of etiquette should be prepared when Madam is preparing to enter the palace for an audience. This is a big deal. Madam has lived in Guizhou for a long time, so she may not know the rules of the palace very well. This It's up to the young master to make the decision."
Fang Jifan knew very well that entering the palace this time would be a test for his stepmother.
His feelings for his stepmother are a bit hard to describe. He always feels that his father's taste is too strange. Men, shouldn't they all like gentle women?
But this stepmother is clearly a hero.
Could it be that heroes cherish heroes?
Fang Jifan thought for a while: "The important thing is the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's temperament I have to think about it."
At this time, Fang Xiaofan in his arms cried again, and Fang Jifan hurriedly stretched out his fingers, with a look of determination on his face, even though there are thousands of people, I will go.
