Chapter 80: Sailing the seas depends on the helmsman

The long-cherished wish of several generations is to build ships and go to sea.

Ambassador Fran waited for the translator to translate the words, then opened the document symbolically for the other party to take a look at, shook it twice, then took it back, and muttered to himself: "Anyway, you don't understand. "

Chi Canghai was surprised. Fulan was far away from the west of Myanmar, and there was a sea in the middle. There was no way for caravans from west of Myanmar to go there, because there were no ships or navigators in west of Myanmar to lead them. The fleet has sailed so far...but the face is calm: "It turns out to be Mr. Ambassador. I don't know why the ambassador learns the bottle?"

Ambassador Fran listened to the translator's words, her face was very impatient: "You just need to sell me the method, and you don't need to know the rest."

When the translator passed the original words, Chi Canghai smiled lightly: "Then please go back, both of you, I'm not interested in this business."

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then the ambassador pondered for a while and said, "Tell him, I will pay you 100 taels of silver."

Chi Canghai raised his eyebrows. At the beginning, Lin Danyang and the Fuli Emperor bought 50 taels of gold and 100 taels of silver just to buy the method of making glass?Does this dead foreign devil think that the Burmese people are like beggars, or that he is like a beggar?Chi Canghai sneered in his heart, and said lightly, "If it's really difficult for the ambassador to pay this money, then don't spend it, even if it's 1000 taels... I won't sell it this way."

The ambassador frowned deeply, and it took him a long time to make up his mind: "Then please make a price."

Chi Canghai was a little surprised, the difference between 100 taels and 1000 taels was huge, he thought that the ambassador would definitely leave in a fit of anger when he said that, and asked him to ask for a price?It can be seen how important this thing is to them... But what is the glass bottle for?Chi Canghai secretly looked at the two people on the opposite side: Fran, the sea, glass, canned food... A thought suddenly appeared in his mind, Chi Canghai raised the corner of his mouth and said suddenly: "If the ambassador really wants it, I can sell it to you Finished products, one tael of silver each, long-term unlimited supply."

The ambassador paused: "Do you really think that I, Francois, must learn this kind of technology? Don't flatter yourself too much. This price is impossible."

Chi Canghai said casually: "So, those two please go back."

The ambassador frowned again: "I hope you can give us a sincere price. If I need tens of thousands, wouldn't it be a sky-high price? It's not considered broken and unusable, it's a robbery!"

Chi Canghai smiled slightly, and suddenly replied in fluent Fran's language: "The sepsis of the sailors must be very serious, right?"

The two of them froze on the spot for a while, filled with surprise in their hearts. The ambassador stabilized his mind, and then looked at Chi Canghai again: "Shi Zifei, can you speak Fulan?"

Chi Canghai smiled and said, "No talent, it just so happens that I know a little bit."

The ambassador narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Crown Princess really impresses me, the West of Myanmar is really full of talents."

Chi Canghai looked at the ambassador with a half-smile: "How dare you, I'm just a plaything."

The ambassador choked for a moment, then lowered his head: "I made a mistake, I apologize."

Chi Canghai raised his eyebrows: "I accept this apology, but the price cannot be changed."

The ambassador looked at Chi Canghai, and took a long time to exhale: "Deal, I want five thousand."

Chi Canghai raised the corner of his mouth, what he was waiting for was your words!Then he smiled lightly and said, "The ambassador is indeed a straightforward person. Five thousand bottles are 5000 taels. I don't need to accept this money, as long as the ambassador sends someone to teach us the skills of shipbuilding and navigation."

The ambassador was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to object, but Chi Canghai said: "The future of Myanmar will be different from the past, and the ambassador did not expect to come to Myanmar for help to store food one day, right? So there are no absolutes. Ambassador, please think carefully before making a decision, besides, if Myanmar and West can trade by sea, it may not be beneficial to Fran."

Looking at Chi Canghai's firm gaze, the ambassador suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'll go back and ask the king for instructions. There shouldn't be any problem, so I agree."

Chi Canghai smiled: "So, thank you, I will prepare two thousand bottles in two months. At that time, I hope to see the craftsmen sent by the ambassador. Make it up. We hand it over, Mr. Ambassador Charles."

The ambassador was stunned when he heard his name, and then he understood that he just showed the other party his business documents... Charles shook his head with a wry smile, then bowed to Chi Canghai and saluted: "Perhaps I should get to know Mansi and Mansi again. Yes... Wife, I apologize again for my rudeness just now, Princess Concubine, no, maybe it will be Her Majesty the Empress of Manxi Kingdom in the future..." As he spoke, he held Chi Canghai's hand, making gestures to kiss her.

Chi Canghai was taken aback for a moment, and when he reacted, he was startled, but he couldn't pull his hand out when he pulled back. Looking at the head that was getting lower and lower, Chi Canghai's disgusting hairs stood on end, but he suddenly realized that Something blocked the back of his hand.

Ambassador Charles froze as soon as his lips touched. The skin he touched was not only cold but also extremely hard. When he opened his eyes, he saw a long sword with a faint light lying in front of him. He took two steps back in fright. Fortunately, he was supported by the translator on the side.

Lian Jingxiao was still sitting there, retracting his sword, and pulling Chi Canghai to his side, wrapping his arms around his waist, then slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at the foreigner: "Mr. Ambassador, you better recognize your situation and his situation. identity of."

Chi Canghai looked at Lian Jingxiao beside him, and raised the corners of his mouth.He believed that the man would not be able to understand the conversation he had with the ambassador afterwards, but the sentence he followed was unambiguous and just right.

Lin Danyang was also taken aback, but then said helplessly: "I have seen it before outside the feudal clan, it seems to be a kind of etiquette."

Qin Yang was surprised: "Have you ever met such a rascal?"

Lin Danyang glanced at him, and Qin Yang immediately fell silent.

Chi Canghai knew that it was etiquette, but let alone the ancient times, even if he is a modern person, he would not be able to accept it... Seeing the embarrassment on the ambassador's face, Chi Canghai had no choice but to say: "The ambassador should get to know each other again, I'm afraid Manxi etiquette, otherwise...a big misunderstanding." Maybe he didn't know how he died...

After signing an agreement with the ambassador and sending him off, everyone turned their heads to look at Chi Canghai.

Qiao asked with a look of admiration: "You can speak Francophone? Have you been there?"

Chi Canghai smiled: "I just read too many books, how could I ever go there."

Lin Danyang looked at Chi Canghai: "You promised him? Sell him the glass bottle method?"

Chi Canghai shook his head with a smile: "The method is in our hands is a huge profit, I just say sell him the finished bottle."

Just as Lin Danyang was about to nod his head, Chi Canghai continued, "One tael of silver each, and he ordered five thousand with me."

Several people were all taken aback, Qin Yang smiled and said: "As far as I know, the bottles you sell to the common people in the shop you opened in Qinbei cost only ten cents each?"

Lin Danyang also smiled: "People in Huainan, didn't you give five to each household?"

Chi Canghai blinked his eyes: "We are not Chinese, so we can't be compared. We just take what we need. Fulan is an island country, and lives by the sea. It takes a year and a half to go to sea every time, and there are at most two stops in the middle." Supplies, if you can’t eat vegetables and fruits on board for a long time, the health of the crew must drop sharply, causing many diseases and even death. I guess they must have discovered this canned food by accident, so they inquired all the way, and rushed over .”

Lin Danyang: "So they got the solution to the disease, and you got silver taels."

Chi Canghai smiled faintly: "No, I asked him for someone to come to western Myanmar to teach us shipbuilding and sailing skills, that's what I want."

Chi Canghai sighed in his heart, the money he got from selling the bottles was not important at all. If he remembered correctly, someone in Francois should have given out 1 Francoins because of the crew's sepsis, offering a reward to store food for a long time method, and the person who first developed this kind of glass jar in history was the Fulan people, so Fulan will research the method by himself sooner or later, but this time he just preempted it, and let Mainsi master his own shipbuilding technology , having your own navigator, this is the most important thing!

Because Chi Canghai found the unnoticed glass and Lu Xing, he produced canned food in advance, so the people in Western Myanmar were the first to solve the problem of storing fruits and vegetables, and the army benefited even more. Chi Canghai's goal is not only canned food , as well as foreign metal refining and molding technologies, and those scientists who are not yet known by people, what he wants to produce are more medical devices, such as syringes, and medicines, such as antibiotics.

Although it is hundreds of years earlier than the emergence of formal antibiotics in history, his mentor actually said that as early as the Tang Dynasty, tailors in Chang'an would smear green-haired paste on fingers cut by scissors To help wounds heal, this is actually the earliest penicillin bacteria used, so Chi Canghai believes that he will be able to find someone who has researched in this area to help him produce antibiotics.

When it comes to fighting, besides weapons, medicine is the most needed thing. He doesn't know if the history will change hundreds of years later because of these, but he believes that he brought these things to Mansi earlier, and for the future history, There will always be some influence, maybe in the future there will be no seclusion, no Opium War, no Eight-Power Allied Forces...

Chi Canghai retracted his random thoughts, suddenly remembered something, and hurried out. Everyone watched the white clothes disappear at the door of the big tent, and they could still hear Chi Canghai's voice from outside: "Ying Si, help me deliver the envelope." letter!"

It took Lin Danyang a long time to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help saying with emotion: "When the first emperor was in power, he always wanted to send merchant ships to the European countries. He once sent more than 50 ships with more than [-] people. The first boat crashed just after leaving the shore, and the rest of them have never been heard from. Although I have been doing business outside the feudal domain and traveled to countless places, I never thought that I would be able to go to Fran... Knowing that if Emperor Zhengde knew the news, should he cry or laugh..."

Qiao Wenzhi looked at Lian Jingxiao and smiled: "I really don't know what is going on in the mind of your concubine."

Lian Jing Xiao just raised the corners of his mouth and didn't speak. In fact, Cang Hai thought the same as everyone present here, it was nothing more than home and the world...
