That night, Zheng Zai went to a different restaurant for a banquet, and Zhou Shixiong personally prepared a few dishes to entertain him. "Sir, you are so polite." The ancients emphasized that gentlemen stayed away from the kitchen, and Zhou Shixiong's behavior scared Zheng Zai. He didn't know how to express his shock and contempt.

"You are welcome. I, Prince, think that Zhou Shixiong, was just a mountain man two years ago. By chance, I will be favored by the emperor. The sudden completion of wealth and honor made countless people envious and jealous. However, there will be gains and losses. It is not easy for a person without roots and no trust in the capital to gain a foothold in the capital. Even if the emperor takes care of him, he cannot resist the public's words. Helplessly, I can only return to the barbarian land with the reputation of the imperial envoy." Zhou Shixiong suddenly sighed, as if he had been plotted against by many people.

Zheng Zai was confused, and it was a taboo to talk to him in a simple and profound way. A third-rank official of the Celestial Empire could not be so scheming. What exactly does this Lord Zhou want to say?

After sighing, Zhou Shixiong seemed to be just treating Zheng Zai to dinner. He introduced the dishes in detail and asked Zheng Zai to taste them. After the meal, he talked about the stranger, "Criminal, I want to invite a few translators, but I wonder if there is Shenglong Mansion?"

"Of course, there is, my Shenglong Mansion is the largest port in the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam. All foreign ships have to dock here. There are many people who can speak. I will go to the dock tomorrow to find a few for the adults." After saying the gossip, Zhou Shixiong brought tea to see him off and sent the confused Zheng Zai out.

Zheng Zai didn't understand what Zhou Shixiong wanted to express, so he had to go and ask his father for advice. Zheng Du thought about it and laughed, "San'er, the angel said that he had a bad life in the court. Since he had no way to make progress, he wanted to make a fortune in business with us under the name of Emperor Ming. This is to reassure me."

"What's wrong with asking for a translation?"

"You are so old, but I still can't get it." Zheng Du glared at his youngest son fiercely, feeling quite sorry for being unable to make a strong man. "Think about it, there are still foreign affairs in the Northern Vietnamese dynasty, and there are also Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty to take charge of foreign affairs. If the angel has a ghost in his heart, how dare we ask us to help me ask for a translation? This is also showing kindness to me."

Zhou Shixiong definitely didn't think so much. He just made up a story, a tragic story of a poor little official who was favored by the emperor but was rejected by the ministers. Please translate it because Zhou Shixiong needs it, and he needs to learn various languages ​​as soon as possible to teach his disciples. After all, he cannot manage the dock in Shenglong Mansion for a long time, and there is no group of people who know foreign languages ​​to help do things and do business overseas? Don't even think about it!

In the next few days, Zhou Shixiong ran around the Shenglong Mansion along the river. The Hong River flowed in the northwest of Shenglong Mansion, and the tributary flowed eastward into the East Lake and went out to the sea through Guang'anmen. The main stream went south through Xing'an, and the two Taiping Mansions went out to the sea. The water surface of the tributary was narrow and was not suitable for sea ships to enter and exit, so it was directly rejected by Zheng Zai, saving Zhou Shixiong a lot of time.

The west bank of the main stream was divided by various major forces in Shenglong Mansion. There were only a few sparse docks on the east bank, most of which were built by the powerful people of the North River and Taiyuan on the north bank of the Red River. After walking around, there was basically no need to consider it. Building a dock on the north bank is the only choice. "Criminal, let's just go here." Zhou Shixiong chose a concave section on the north bank of the Red River, which is very suitable for building a dock.

"Sir, there are often water bandits here, so let's change the place." Zheng Zai was instructed by his father and tried his best to help Zhou Shixiong, so he did not conceal the fact that the Shenglong Mansion naval army was powerless and offered good advice to Zhou Shixiong.

"Not afraid, my dock was just operating wood in the early days, and there was no valuable goods. Those water bandits could not grab good things even if they wanted to." Of course, Zhou Shixiong was not afraid. With the crossbow in his hand, not to mention the water bandits, even Zhou Shixiong, a navy soldier of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, dared to touch it.

"Since the lord insists on this, I won't say much. The father told me that as long as the place chosen by the angel belongs to the wasteland of the government, I will give it to the lord as a gift from King Ping An." Zheng Zai was not stupid either. He waited for Zhou Shixiong to draw the beach land he wanted to buy on the map and told Zhou Shixiong the good news for free.

"The elder dares not refuse. I thank King Ping'an." Zhou Shixiong didn't even think of being polite once, and he directly decided on the free matter, which stimulated Zheng Zai again. Didn't it mean that everyone in the Heavenly Kingdom is very polite? This is too direct!

Let Ma San go to the Ping'an Palace to complete the land deed, and Zhou Shixiong's work to Shenglong Palace was basically completed. He had nothing to do, so Zhou Shixiong was concerned about the negotiations on the loan of Folang Jiren to Jiading. "Criminal, how are the matter in Jiading?"

Zheng Zai felt that there was nothing to keep in secret about this matter, so he told Zhou Shixiong generously, "Sir, the man from Folang Ji gave a price of five ships of spices a year to rent the beach at the mouth of Jiading. Neither the father nor the Emperor Shenzong had any objection to this, but Folang Ji people wanted to rent it for 99 years at a time, and both the father and the Emperor Shenzong did not agree with this lease."

"This is easy to deal with. The lease period is 99 years. The rent is re-argued every nine years. If the Florian cannot afford the rent, the contract will naturally expire." Zhou Shixiong taught Zheng Zai the trick of the black-hearted cattle woman. When Zheng Zai heard that his eyes were lit, he hurriedly thanked Zhou Shixiong and hurriedly left to offer treasures to his father.

Folangji merchants have a bad reputation in South Asia. Pirates, scammers, and virus spreaders are all describing them. Decades ago, a group of Folangji merchants boarded the Mai Mai Island under the name of tribute, and then used the reason why the tribute was damp and needed to be dried to ask local officials to rent the Mai Mai Island. By bribing local officials, this request was approved. Since then, Folangji people have owned the first colonial Mai Mai Island in East Asia.

Six years ago, the Folangjiren dispatched a governor to the Mamai Island and officially owned the right to live and manage the Mamai Island. Although the Emperor of Heaven did not recognize this right, the Ming Dynasty, which had weak maritime power, could only silently watch the Folangjiren occupy the Mamai Island and was unable to take it back.

This incident was just a small wave in the Ming Dynasty and did not attract much attention. But for Southeast Asian countries, the impact of this incident was very important, and they were wary enough of the Flangji merchants with strong maritime power. Therefore, Li Shenzong and Zheng Du, or Zheng Zhuang and Zheng Du, did not dare to easily agree to such a long-term lease.

Zhou Shixiong's method was very timely. Zheng Du laughed after hearing this, "It seems that there are fewer gifts. San'er, go and ask the angels what they need. Some of Shenglong Mansions say casually, the condition is to help resolve the negotiation."

"Father, what does it mean to give less gifts?" Zheng Zai's self-confidence was almost collapsed. He heard Zhou Shixiong talk these days, and his father was confused. He was always confused. He always couldn't understand what these two people were talking about?!

"The Angel gave you this idea in order to repay the gift I gave him. This idea is very useful, but it is not enough to push the negotiations to end. I think that as long as you give a bigger gift, the Angel will have a better idea to help us solve the problem, so you have to continue giving gifts."

Zheng Zai conveyed Zheng Du's words, and Zhou Shixiong was stunned. What does your negotiation have to do with me? Some Shenglong Mansions say that if you don't cry for me, then you will not cry? It's clear that there is no sincerity at all, and you still want me to do my best? It's so beautiful!

What I think is one thing in my heart, and what I say must be beautiful. Zhou Shixiong thought for a while, "Please ask the prince to reply to King Ping'an. I am responsible for finding strange medicines. If King Ping'an can provide ten kinds of strange medicines, I am willing to help King Ping'an solve this little trouble."

The requirements for the ten kinds of strange medicines are very low. The so-called strange medicines are very big, the size is strange, the effect is unheard of, and the effect is very strong. There are almost no restrictions on strange medicines, and as long as they are different, they can be called strange.

The next day, Zheng Zai brought a truck of strange medicines to Zhou Shixiong, not to mention ten kinds, more than three hundred kinds. Zhou Shixiong looked at it a little, smiled and nodded, "Okay, very good, these strange medicines were accepted by the official." According to the standards of the ancients, these medicines can be called strange medicines. In the eyes of Zhou Shixiong's chips, only two medicines belong to unrecorded, a milky white Long Yanxiang and a red meat Tai Sui.

In modern times, these things have long been extinct. Even if there is similar information, they are just information and there is no real thing. Zhou Shixiong's good fortune gave Long Yanxiang, and it is easy to talk about Tai Sui. Unexpectedly, a small Vietnamese and Northern Dynasty actually had treasures that were not even in the Forbidden City. Zhou Shixiong was of course happy. He ordered Ma San to deal with other herbs. Zhou Shixiong took two treasures back to the study and asked the chip to analyze and record these two treasures.

Zhou Shixiong promised to help King Ping'an, of course, he had to think of a complete way to ensure the success of the negotiations. However, Zhou Shixiong knew very well that a weak country had no diplomacy was not a philosophy, but a real negotiation rule. Since Jiaozhi had an unequal negotiation with the Malay Governor alone, he would help Jiaozhi improve his level. The method was very simple, Zhou Shixiong thought of a way to meet Zheng Du.

"The angel means that the Ming Dynasty is the sect leader of the Li Dynasty. The Li Dynasty wants to rent land to other countries, so does the Ming Dynasty need the consent of the Ming Dynasty?" Although the Zheng family has established the title of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, this title has not been officially rewarded by the Ming Dynasty. In foreign affairs, the Li Dynasty is the orthodox Jiaozhi. This fact made Zheng and Du very unhappy.

"Prince Zheng, this is a negotiation strategy. Only by emphasizing that the Ming Dynasty had the right to intervene in Jiaozhi affairs can our official appear at the negotiating table legitimately. As long as the official appears in the negotiation, the Folangji people will have some concerns." Zhou Shixiong did not need to give face to the rebels of the vassal states. Anyway, both sides were fake identities. Zhou Shixiong did not go on a mission to the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty without the orders of the court, and Zheng Du's Northern Vietnam was not recognized by the Li Dynasty, so they were naturally fake.

"I understand the meaning of the angel, but I don't know what my nephew thinks." Zhou Shixiong slapped him in the face too fiercely. The old turtle Zheng Du asked his nephew Zheng Zhuang to act as a shield and temporarily stopped this topic.

"Prince Zheng, I am willing to help the prince participate in the negotiations. I am just grateful for the friendship between the prince and the official. The King of Qingdu and the official have never met him. What do he want to do with me?" Zhou Shixiong wanted to solve the problem at once. He has been in Shenglong Mansion for half a month, and he is afraid that his family will worry if he doesn't go back.

Seeing that Zhou Shixiong was trying to let go, Zheng Du quickly put down the empty problem of face and said with a smile, "Inheriting the love of the angel, what needs the angel's business in Shenglong Mansion in the future? Even if I come to find me, I will never refuse."
