Chapter 738
We can't afford to offend
"Governor, I promise that everything I say is true. I really saw those fireballs, they burned the sails of those sails, and the speed of hitting them was very fast. I saw with my own eyes that they burned the sails of several ships and chased the other ships. And the boats that remained there emitted thunderbolts, and some smaller thunderbolts that spewed out large thunderbolts. My Lord, I am sure that was Apollo's ability!"
There is no one in Europe at this moment, but there are still many people who know it, especially the Cretans prefer Greeks.
"Apollo, is this possible? You old bastard, you dare to lie to me!"
The fat governor was afraid of the old man's narrative, because he was filled with anger at this moment. But the port officer next to him thought of something and just waved his hand. While throwing a silver coin to the shepherd, he scared him.
"Okay, you can leave now. Don't tell anyone these lies, otherwise..."
The shepherd who received the money immediately retreated submissively until the port officer approached the governor again. He was not loud when he spoke, as if he was telling the fat governor what was the most secret thing.
"Sir, if we talk about those two European monarchs, it may not be a problem. But don't forget that they are surrounded by an emperor from the East. You know, the Eastern people are always mysterious, and he may... Oh, I shouldn't know, but I guess as long as we are attentive and considerate to them, it should not cause us any more trouble!"
The fat governor's eyes turned twice, but before he could speak, someone came in to report it. This time the waiter never brought news, but also an invitation.
"Governor, this is an invitation just sent from the ship in the port. The person who came did not leave any words, just said that he would give you the invitation!"
The Governor took the invitation in his hand, but his eyes immediately glared. It was golden, with the invitation from the Red Army. Look at the texture of the paper, it was definitely not something like parchment. On the crisp and thick cardboard, the characters in the style were definitely not written on it.
Sometimes Zhao Fubo doesn't understand Europeans very much. In theory, their words are not as complicated as those of the word "flower". They are just arranged by a few letters, so why didn't printing appear earlier? Martin doesn't understand this very much. For a teacher in a physics and chemistry laboratory, the vagueness of world history is understandable.
In fact, before the 15th century, Europeans had quills and parchment. The papermaking techniques learned by the Arabs from China became expensive when they were used by the Arabs to produce paper. Therefore, Europeans did not use them much, and even the Kingdom of Sicily issued an order prohibiting the use of paper to issue official orders.
In this matter, Europe is different from China. Chinese culture is very relaxed and people are encouraged to study. Europe is very strict with knowledge due to religious issues. Generally, only aristocrats and churches have culture, so they do not need printing or anything else. After printing has gone through a lot of hardships and spread to Europe, the church power in Europe was disintegrated soon!
If in the past, the Chinese did not know how to interfere in the development of Europe, then now, Zhao Fubo will only let them see the goods, and as for how to do it, they don’t need to understand.
"His Excellency Governor Warri, please be sure to visit us tonight..."
The fat governor was stunned when he looked at the invitation that was definitely not a handwritten. He found that only the places where his name was filled in hand, while the rest were all filled with the standard and beautiful flower letters.
"Governor, I think you have to change your clothes quickly. You know that the emperors don't like waiting for others. If they... although I dare not say that your emperors will think that you are intentionally neglecting, but if they..."
The fat Governor shook his head and signaled that the port officer would not need to say anything more. Instead, he issued an order to him. Obviously, the time for his advice here was over, and he did not need to give any advice on the banquet below. For such things, Governor Warri was as familiar as the port officer managed the port.
"Go back quickly and let all of you not rest at night. As these emperors want to have fun, you will be happy as long as you want. You and your men must always keep the safety nearby. Do you know that no unnecessary things can happen, and no unnecessary people are allowed to appear, do you understand!"
The port official bent down and retreated while saluting, so he naturally had to say a few curses in his heart that the governor would never hear. But when the port official rushed back to his room at the port, he found that not only the governor had invitations, but also a beautiful yellow invitation with red letters printed on it.
At this time, the dock was already lively, with groups of Cretan carrying loads full of vegetables, or leading groups of New Year sheep, and pushing carts of fine wine and fresh fruits. The port official looked at the lively dock and couldn't help but wonder how many people did the emperors want to invite?
"My God, even I have received the invitation. How big would the banquet be tonight!"
While thinking about this, he asked the servant to quickly open his clothes box and take out the luxurious clothes that he usually doesn't wear. At this time, there were no irons or other things, or they didn't know how to play.
In fact, the Hong Kong officials didn't know that the party tonight was definitely something that Zhao Fubo had put in his mind. Not only were the wine, fresh fruits, and delicious food, Zhao Fubo even prepared some dancers, intending to let these local buns on Crete make good meat.
By the way, I plan to let them understand that what they are doing now is worse than that of pigs and dogs. Instead of doing such things, it is better to take out the money in their pockets and buy the ships made by Zhao Fubo. Being their transport team is more correct.
And tonight, not as the governor on the island thought, only dignitaries like him could come. In fact, almost all people with a little wealth were invited in the city. As a relay point island from Venice to the middle of the Arab Empire, there were many ship owners and maritime merchants on Crete. Their commerce allowed the entire Mediterranean to have a fully developed commerce based on the kingdom of the city.
Zhao Fubo's plan is that from today and from now on, the entire Mediterranean commercial civilization should be prepared to serve the rise of China.
It was not until the port officer dressed up in a hurry and found the officer under his jurisdiction to protect the port that he knew that the banquet tonight would look like this!
