Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Because he was curious about the so-called blond and blue-eyed vassal people, Father Qiu took a group of people to the Chamber of Commerce in Jiazhou the next day. Those vassal people were temporarily placed in the chamber of commerce, because after all, the dynasty had changed, and according to their Annan rules , these vassal people want to restart business in Annan, they must get permission again.

Fortunately, the people of these vassal states seemed to be familiar with this. After all, this was the process in the previous dynasty, so they didn’t say much. They just stayed at the Chamber of Commerce with peace of mind, and walked around Jiazhou City to get to know the current Annan. .

When Father Qiu brought Wen Xiuyi and the others, he happened to meet a few people from the vassal state who were about to go out.

Seeing Father Qiu, several people from the vassal state seemed a little excited and ran towards him happily, chattering a lot, looking eager and happy.

Wen Xiuyi and King Fu stood together, Wen Jun and Wen Yao stood next to him, and the three of them looked at each other after hearing this.

They got it!

It seems that the author simplified many things when constructing this book, such as these foreign languages, which are not much different from later generations.

Wen Xiuyi was a professor at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and his English proficiency was not low to begin with. Wen Jun and Wen Yao were even more so. They had also taken courses in several languages.

Just as they were thinking about this question of whether they understood or not, Father Qiu began to introduce these people to them.

"These are businessmen who came all the way from Great Britain. This is Earl Daniel, the prince or something like that over there." After Father Qiu finished speaking, he added in a low voice: "There are various counts over there. , and people of the opposite sex, who are not members of the royal family, can be made earl, which is incomparable to our royal family. This Earl Daniel was bought with money. "

After saying this, King Fu straightened his back a little. He was a serious royal person.

After Father Qiu finished introducing the people over there, he introduced Prince Fu, Wen Xiuyi and others. When Daniel heard that it was the prince here, his attitude immediately became respectful.

After all, we are on someone else's territory.

King Fu only listened to his jabbering, but he didn't understand a word and looked confused: "What did he say?"

The corners of Wen Yao's mouth twitched, but she understood.

This Earl Daniel was also a familiar person, and he praised King Fu mercilessly. Unfortunately, King Fu obviously didn't understand a word of it.

Daniel seemed to have discovered this problem, and quickly gave instructions to the person next to him. The person immediately ran back and brought back a person who looked like a native of Annan.

After hearing the identities of King Fu and Wen Xiuyi, the man first knelt down and saluted.

"King Liu, a commoner, has met the prince and the marquis."

King Fu raised his hand: "Get up, can you understand what they are saying?"

Wang Liu replied: "Yes, the ancestors of the Cao people came from..." Wang Liu paused, thought for a moment and then changed his words: "The ancestors of the Cao people were also from Annan. They went abroad with the previous dynasty's ships and stayed behind because of an accident. Over there, our ancestors have never forgotten their own country. They have been learning Annan for generations, and they also understand British and a few other languages.”

King Fu's eyes lit up, this was a ready-made talent.

"Then..." He glanced at Daniel, pulled Wang Liu aside, and asked in a low voice: "Then you will follow him now? Be his translator? Have you ever thought about coming back? Our Annan is now very powerful, much better than before. ”

Wang Liu glanced back at Daniel, and imitated Prince Fu and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Cao Min family has settled there for a long time, and now only the Cao Min has come back with him, and his wife and children are still in Great Britain... this……"

King Fu understood, but he was willing but powerless. However, if he wanted to develop maritime trade, the language barrier was the most troublesome. Only with talents like Wang Liu here, who could play the role of translator, could better communication be achieved.

Of course, King Fu is not stupid. If this person is a bad person and interferes with this kind of translation, bad things will happen, so you still need to think more carefully before doing so.

It was only when his mind got hot that he came up with the idea of ​​letting Wang Liu stay as a translator. Now he would calm down, and just as he said this again, he sighed: "That's it, that's such a pity. "

However, whether it can be used is another matter. Is it okay to let him teach Annan officials to speak this foreign language?

But we’ll talk about this later. Let’s take a look at the situation now and discuss it with Brother Wen later.

Prince Fu and Wang Liu returned to the group of people with a look of pity on their faces. Wang Liu muttered a few words to Daniel.

The father and daughter all heard it. This Wang Liu was honest and did not lie. He was also smart and knew where his roots were. His words were more of a compliment to Annan. Daniel would definitely come back from this trip with a fruitful experience. etc.

Daniel nodded with satisfaction.

With Wang Liu here, communication between the two parties is much easier. Unfortunately for Wen Xiuyi and Wenjun Wenyao, they can only pretend to be stupid for the time being, even though they understand and speak well.

However, language training must be started as early as possible. Once sea trade opens, there will definitely be more business transactions in the future, and language must be a top priority.

King Fu was very curious about these blond and blue-eyed people. With Wang Liu here, he was able to chat for a few words. Several teenagers followed behind, full of curiosity about these outsiders.

The only thing that made them feel bad was that the smell on these people was really strong, and the incense made them want to vomit.

But in order to be exposed to more new things, I can only endure it.

Wen Yao followed for a while and couldn't bear it anymore. She said hello to Wen Xiu Yi and Wen Jun and ran away, taking Mingyue with her and started walking on the street.

The street of Jiazhou Chamber of Commerce is very lively. There are many shops, most of which sell silk, tea, porcelain and other products, as well as spices, etc. There are also some products from overseas, but there are very few, mainly those from foreign countries. People haven't gotten the permit yet, so they can't open shops in Annan yet. They can only go to some merchants privately to discuss business.

There are also many foreigners on the street. Judging from the reaction of the local people, it seems that they have become accustomed to it during this time and are not surprised by it.

Wen Yao took Mingyue around for a while, and then came to find Li Yi, who had handled matters from the Yamen.

The two of them found a teahouse on the street and went in to drink tea and explore the situation in Jiazhou.

There were many people in the teahouse, both locals and foreigners.

Wen Yao glanced at the foreigners sitting in the corner, and took Li Yi to sit down not far from them.

Behind them are the positions of those foreigners.

Wen Yao listened to their conversation and found that unlike Daniel and others he met in the chamber of commerce, these people spoke Spanish. (Purely fictitious, just place names, don’t take it seriously)

Perhaps he felt that no one here could understand what they were saying, and the few people spoke without any precautions.

Judging from their conversation, they have been following Father Qiu's ship for more than a month, but the court here has been delaying in granting them a license and not allowing them to openly sell the goods they brought. It's such a delay. Going down is not a problem.

It seems that they have to take some measures to put some pressure on the court here.

Hearing this, Wen Yao frowned slightly.
