Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 90 Foreigners from Europe

There is a table of guests in the corner of the lobby.

He was chattering in a language that others could not understand.

But Chen Fan saw their clothes, skin color and appearance, and immediately judged that they were three Westerners.

Chen Fan was not surprised to see foreigners appearing in Daming capital.

After all, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was the largest city in this era, and it was normal for some foreigners to appear doing business.

And Chen Fan was not surprised by these foreigners, but by a pure snow-white border collie at their feet.

When Chen Fan was in China, he often saw people walking their border collie dogs on the roadside.

However, most of the border herds that Chen Fan saw were black and white, and a few were yellow and white.

This is the first time Chen Fan has seen this pure white border collie.

"Uncle Huang has taken a fancy to that white puppy?"

Seeing the Uncle Huang staring at a puppy under the table in the distance with surprise on his face, Zhu Cihong immediately knew that the Uncle Huang had his eyes on the puppy.

Chen Fan nodded.

"It's the first time I've seen a border collie like this one, and I fell in love with it immediately. It's so cute."

Chen Fan likes small animals such as cats and dogs, but he has never had the opportunity to keep them before.

Now that he has the conditions to raise him, and it is rare to meet such a cute Bian Mu, Chen Fan immediately wants to buy Bian Mu from these foreigners.

"If Uncle Huang likes it, I'll buy it from those red-haired ghosts and give it to Uncle Huang."

Seeing that the emperor's uncle did not object, Zhu Cihong took two guards and walked towards the foreigners.

If the emperor's uncle didn't value that pure white puppy, Zhu Cihong would not want to touch these red-haired ghosts.

These red-haired ghosts have a bad reputation in Daming.

Not only do they have colorful hair, but even their eyes have strange colors, and they are also ugly. Maybe ghosts look like them, Zhu Cihong thought as they walked.

Almost all officials in Ming Dynasty looked down on these red-haired ghosts. Not only were they ugly, with thick hair, they also had a lot of body odor, and they came from a barbarian land.

Therefore, these officials, who regard themselves as gentlemen, disdain to deal with these red-haired ghosts.

It is precisely because of this that the three foreigners who were drinking in the corner came to Xianju to try their luck.

They also heard that Xianju was a gathering place for dignitaries.

That's why they came to Xianju to find a way to get in touch with officials.

These foreigners were maritime merchants who traveled thousands of miles from Europe to do business in the Ming Dynasty. If they wanted to make money, they had to deal with the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

But when they came to the capital, they found that the officials of Daming didn't want to see them at all.

In desperation, they ran to Xianju to find a way out.

Chen Fan looked at the corner of the restaurant, Zhu Cihong was talking with those foreigners, because it was too far away, Chen Fan couldn't hear what they said.

But Chen Fan saw an attendant of Ming Dynasty standing behind the three foreigners, and Zhu Cihong relied on that attendant to communicate with the foreigners. Chen Fan guessed that it should be the translator that the foreigners were looking for.

In just a cup of tea, Zhu Cihong came back with pure white Bianmu in his arms.

"Uncle Huang, here, this puppy was given to me by those red-haired ghosts, and they didn't ask for money."

Chen Fan took Bian Mu and asked in surprise:

"Sent?"

Zhu Cihong said proudly:

"Of course, I was originally going to give him some money, but after those red-haired ghosts learned that I was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, they refused to accept the money."

"Oh!"

Chen Fan understood, no wonder the foreigners were stunned for a while, then nodded and bowed for a while. It turned out that it was Zhu Cihong who told them the identity of the prince.

Chen Fan hugged Bian Mu and said:

"Let's go!"

After speaking, the group walked outside.

"But the prince must be careful. There is no free lunch in the world. Those foreigners who gave you the puppy must have a purpose. Just be careful, don't be fooled by them."

Chen Fan still couldn't help reminding Zhu Cihong that if he remembered correctly, Europe had just started global colonization, and these foreigners might have come to Daming to inquire about news.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang. These red-haired ghosts say they are maritime merchants who come to Daming to do business. I won't contact them in the future. They won't be able to fool me."

Zhu Cilang was overjoyed, and after hearing that he was the crown prince, those red-haired ghosts wanted to give him the puppy as well.

Seeing these red-haired ghosts fawning over him so much, Zhu Cihong knew that they must ask him for something in the future. After knowing that they were maritime merchants, Zhu Cihong knew it well.

However, these red-haired ghosts might be disappointed.

Because he will never deal with these red-haired ghosts in the future. If he wants to use a dog as a stepping stone, he is too underestimated as a great Ming prince.

"The smell of these red-haired ghosts is too bad, and I won't want to deal with them in the future."

Zhu Cihong said with disgust that when he talked with the red-haired ghost just now, he almost smoked him to death.

While smoothing Bian Mu's hair, Chen Fan thoughtfully said to Zhu Cihong:
"That's not a problem. If these foreigners come to the prince next time, the prince can try to deal with them. When the Ming Dynasty develops in the future, it will need to expand overseas. These foreigners are a good leader."

Now Daming has just ended the turmoil and is still slowly recovering.

It is not yet possible to compete with European powers for global colonies.

but.

Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry at all. The European powers had only just begun the era of great voyages, so it would be easy for Ming to catch up.

"The leading party?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Chen Fan with puzzled eyes, and listened to the emperor's uncle, these red-haired ghosts are still of great use?

Chen Fan nodded affirmatively and explained:

"Yes, that's right. Europe is still very rich. When the emperor has almost done the development of Ming Dynasty, he will turn his attention to Europe. These foreigners are very good pawns."

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong finally understood, and said suddenly:
"When the emperor said this, it became clear to me and I knew what to do."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, she nodded vigorously.

When these red-haired ghosts look for him next time, first make false claims with them, and slowly win them over, and when the time is right, use them to extend Daming's tentacles overseas.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's expression, Chen Fan knew that the prince had understood what he meant.

Chen Fan nodded in relief. Although the prince is young, he is very smart, and he knows everything.

A group of people had just walked out of the gate of Xianju, butler Wang Dalong was about to drive the carriage over, Chen Fan waved his hand to stop him:
"Instead of riding in the carriage, let's walk around for a while. It's just in time to take the dog for a walk."

"Dalong, just find someone to drive the carriage directly back to the Imperial Master's Mansion later. We will go back after shopping for a while. It's not far anyway."

Hearing what the young master said, Wang Dalong hurriedly ordered the servants next to him to drive the carriage back to the mansion.

In fact, Chen Fan regretted it when he got into the carriage just now.

It was too bumpy, and his ass still hurts a little from the bump.
