Chapter 1946 You Are Empty-Handed White Wolf

"How are they learning?"

Chen Mo and the interpreter were talking quietly in the toilet of the post house, while people from the etiquette department were watching outside.

The interpreter touched the place where one ear was missing, gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's too difficult to say that it's Daming's words and characters."

Chen Mo quietly handed over a piece of gold and asked, "Did Bastian say anything?"

"You said it, and you asked me carefully." The interpreter sneered, "But I don't know much about Ming's characters, so I fooled around a bit."

Chen Mo didn't bother to tie his trouser belt, so he poked the interpreter with his right hand, raised his eyebrows, and said wretchedly: "What are you afraid of, the worst is to stay in Daming, don't worry, if I, Chen Mo, are with me for a day, your job will be indispensable!"

The interpreter sighed: "It's a pity that the wife and children are in Frank!"

Chen Mo was disappointed in his heart, so he urged: "When the relationship is good, I will definitely have to come in the future, when the time comes..."

The two smiled at each other, then tied their belts together.

As soon as he got out of the toilet, someone outside shouted: "Xinghe Bo is here!"

Chen Mo glanced at the interpreter, and saw that his face was pale, so he comforted him: "Xinghebo is loyal, as long as you follow Daming wholeheartedly, you will benefit in the future. If your family suffers, Xinghebo has a foreigner." No. It's called magnanimity, and someone must be unlucky for Frank."

The interpreter nodded, and then quietly walked away from behind.

When he walked around to the front, Bastian and Fang Xing were already sitting in the front hall, waiting for the interpreter to arrive.

Bastian frowned and glanced at the interpreter, and then he woke up and said, "Your Excellency, the negotiation between the two parties is progressing smoothly. I think Ranke and Daming will soon become allies and work together to ensure peace between the East and the West."

This man is a fast learner! He can even say the word peace casually, which shows that he still has some diplomatic talent.

On the diplomatic battlefield, if you talk about peace, I have to talk about working together. This is the tone and the appearance.

But Fang Xing was not interested in talking about peace with him.

"How does your envoy feel during this time in Daming?"

Fang Xing asked casually.

Bastian praised without hesitation: "Da Ming has a vast land and abundant resources,

With a large population, the largest country in the East! "

"I will introduce Daming to everyone in Frank, let them feel the strength and friendliness of this friend, and lay the foundation for the long-term closeness between the two countries."

"Then you will be an envoy of friendship between the two countries, which is a good job."

Fang Xing changed the subject and asked: "Your envoy wants to see Ben, but the food and accommodation are not enough?"

Bastian shook his head, leaned slightly towards Fang Xing, and said, "Frank has a long history and splendid culture, and Ming is also an empire that has been passed down for thousands of years. There is a natural basis for friendship between the two countries. Your Excellency, Frank wants to understand Da Ming more deeply, and this requires contacting all parties in Da Ming..."

The scope of activities of the Frankish Mission was limited to less than two miles around the post house, and people followed them when they walked, so they couldn't find a chance to take a closer look at Daming.

Looking at Da Ming is one thing, Fang Xing judged that they hope to collect some good things, such as Da Ming's weapon information, if there is a manufacturing method, it will be perfect.

And books must be what they crave!

Fang Xing nodded and said: "The two countries are far apart, so naturally there is no conflict of interest with each other, this is the foundation."

These words euphemistically position the relationship between the two countries at - because of the distance, they are not enemies!

Bastian didn't seem to understand the meaning of these words, and continued: "We are very interested in the culture of Ming Dynasty, and hope to have a chance to have a comprehensive contact, Your Excellency, this will allow Frank to deepen his friendship with Ming Dynasty."

This man opened his mouth to be peaceful, but closed his mouth to friendship, and his eyes of unknown color were full of sincerity.

Fang Xing fantasized that the person sitting in front of him was his own student, then looked at him more sincerely, and said, "Benbo really hopes to see this happen, and sincerely hopes that the two countries will become more important friends, but... …According to the principle of reciprocity, Frank came to Daming empty-handed now, so all you hoped for will be nothing but a white wolf in the eyes of those important officials in the court.”

"This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding of Frank!"

Bastian spread his hands and said helplessly: "From Frank to here, we have been accompanied by death all the way, Your Excellency, maybe on the way back, we will fall down in the desert, or die in the hands of a soldier. Under the knife, what is this? This is Frank's..."

"It's Frank's life."

Fang Xing was very satisfied to see the astonishment on Bastian's face, and said: "Da Ming has no ambitions for Taixi, and it is impossible to have ambitions, so the exchanges between the two countries will be difficult to get close because of the distance. Your envoy, friend Long-term friendship is important, temporary intimacy doesn't mean anything, time will judge this friendship, and Benbo hopes that ten or twenty years later, I can still see you in Daming in a dusty appearance."

It was a polite refusal and a criticism of Bastian's eagerness.

Before Bastian could explain, Fang Xing stood up and left. The accompanying etiquette officials watched him go out with admiration, and then said to Bastian: "If the mission has any dissatisfaction with the food and accommodation, you are welcome to leave." Let me bring it up, Daming never treats his friends badly."

After the people left, Bastian waved his hand and went out to interpret, and then all the missionaries rushed in.

"How is it, Bastian? Can we go buy books?"

Bastian drank the residual tea slowly and said, "Since I went ashore, I have seen bookstores wherever I am in the city. Everyone, this is a country with a prosperous culture, and their strengths should be reflected in the books. , so Frank needs their books."

A follower said: "But even if we got the books, who can understand them?"

After a while of silence, Bastian said: "Our people are studying, but it seems that there will be no hope in a short time, so interpreting is very important. You should keep an eye on him and promise benefits."

A follower said with a grin: "His family is in Frank. Unless he wants to abandon his wife and children, he can only cooperate with us."

"Then let him study and learn the characters of Ming Dynasty. I don't think they would mind having one more student. If so, then we can reduce one of our students."

Everyone was smiling wryly, including the three students.

"Bastian, Daming's characters and dialects are difficult to learn. Their square characters are densely packed. I can't imagine how they can write such beautiful characters with such a soft pen. And their language makes you want to write your own. Tongue cut off..."

Another student pointed to his face and said: "We have worked hard enough, and the daily sleep time has been reduced by half, but those ancient books... are too difficult. I really don't know how the Ming people learn it."

Bastian pressed his hand, and after the silence, he whispered: "We can't just go back with an empty covenant, it's just a piece of waste paper..."

Everyone smiled, and no one felt that the covenant would be binding.

"Bastian, what do you think of this earl?"

Because the officials who came into contact with the mission were all civil servants, and the frequent appearance of Fang Xing, a general, made the members of the mission interested in Daming's structure.

Bastian thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I think if he is a Frank, then His Highness will definitely entrust him with the handling of foreign affairs..."
