The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

At dusk, when it was getting dark, the craftsmen and common people in Bianliang City finished their hard work for the day and returned home to rest.

Officials in the court and most public servants had finished a day's work or a day of slacking off and were ready to come out and enjoy the nightlife.

However, for girls in special industries, this is the time for them to prepare for a new round of peak passenger flow.

Li Shishi from Fanlou also finished her makeup and dressing up early, ready to welcome a special "noble person" who might come.

Li Shishi sat quietly in her attic. Her face was picturesque and her temperament was elegant, which was breathtaking.

At this moment, she was concentrating on copying Wang Li's painting "Presented to Sister-in-law". It was not surprising that this painting appeared in her place. The old pervert Zhao Ji did not change his ways after the incident with Zhao Yuannu and still frequented here.

The delicate brushstrokes and profound artistic conception in the painting made Li Shishi completely immersed in the world of art.

However, she seemed to be in a bad mood. She was reluctant to put down her brush, and her face was full of impatience. She had tried many times, but still could not perfectly present the true style of painting on paper. She felt a little frustrated and even a little angry.

At this time, the madam came in and broke the silence. She said to Li Shishi with a smile on her face: "Daughter, are you painting again? Someone came to visit and said he wanted to see you."

Li Shishi frowned, obviously not interested in this sudden news. She continued to immerse herself in her own world, trying to finish the painting.

Seeing this, the madam immediately began to coax her with sweet words: "My dear daughter, this man is very important. He calls himself Zhang Xian, and he came to visit you because he heard about your talent. You should meet him, maybe he can bring you some surprises."

After hearing this, Li Shishi felt annoyed. She didn't like being disturbed, especially when she was concentrating on her creation. However, the madam couldn't ignore her. She thought, "There's nothing else to do anyway, so meeting him will help kill time." So, she reluctantly agreed to the madam's request.

The madam went out happily, and Li Shishi continued to immerse herself in her own world.

Soon, Yan Qing came in. His appearance and temperament were different from others, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. His eyebrows and eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, which made people involuntarily like him.

Yan Qing saw Li Shishi painting and did not disturb her. When he walked over and saw the painting she had done, his confidence came back.

Yan Qing said leisurely: "This is not how the painting is done. To achieve the visual effect, you need contrast between dark and dark and contrast between lines..."

Li Shishi raised her head and was attracted by his appearance at first sight. She was a little surprised that this man who called himself Zhang Xian was so handsome. Then she frowned unhappily and said, "Do you know this painting technique?"

Yan Qing said modestly: "I understand a little bit!"

After saying this, he glanced at Li Shishi and found that she was just looking at him without saying anything. Yan Qing then smiled and said, "This painting technique is mainly to deceive the viewer's eyes. If you want to master this style of painting, you must start with simple objects! How about I draw an apple for you first?"

Li Shishi put down her paintbrush and made a gesture of invitation. Yan Qing did not hesitate and asked for some charcoal sticks and a steamed bun and started painting.

As Yan Qing began to paint, Li Shishi watched attentively from the side. Yan Qing asked Wang Li for advice, and Wang Li taught him without hiding anything. At present, he can only draw some simple objects and has not drawn anything too complicated, mainly because he has no time.

When it comes to sketching, you just need to master the method and practice it slowly. There are too many things that cannot be taught. It all depends on your understanding.

Yan Qing finished the painting quickly. Li Shishi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Yan Qing's temperament and demeanor made her feel very comfortable, and she began to have a strong interest in this mysterious man.

Li Shishi was very smart and she quickly got the hang of it. With Yan Qing's explanation, she quickly drew a sphere. Although it didn't look good, she got the hang of it. She started to draw non-stop, drawing simple objects such as apples, rectangles, and circles.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Yan Qing seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here.

Until the madam came to remind her (it's already two hours, I can't let my daughter let this guy stay overnight. Although the nobleman won't come at this time, there are still people from the Imperial City Bureau watching outside.)

There were already several sheets of rice paper covered with paintings on the ground, and only then did Li Shishi stand up and talk to Yan Qing.

"Can't this be painted with a brush?"

"Sure, but I haven't learned how to paint with a brush yet."

"I am twenty-three years old. May I ask how old is Zhang Yanei?"

But when she was questioning him, she deliberately got very close to him and rubbed her big weapon against Yan Qing. That seductive look, those eyes full of feminine tenderness, she stared straight at Yan Qing and almost knocked him down.

Facing Li Shishi's teasing, Yan Qing said tactfully: "I am just a businessman, not a yamen. My sister is twenty-three years old, and I am twenty-one years old. I am grateful for your love, and I am willing to be your lord!"

Although Li Shishi had some doubts about Yan Qing's identity and suspected that he had a relationship with Taoist doctor Wang Li, she did not point it out. She smiled and said, "What business do you do, brother? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yan Qing then took out his gifts and opened them one by one to demonstrate to Li Shishi.

Even the knowledgeable Li Shishi was surprised by these gifts.

While Li Shishi was still admiring the gifts, Yan Qing continued, "I am engaged in this business. These are from America, across the ocean. There are not many things, and it is very difficult to transport them here! It takes at least a year to go back and forth."

Yan Qing then talked about his first arrival in Bianliang and his collaboration with Gao Yanei.

Li Shishi fell in love with Yan Qing at first sight, which is the state of truly liking someone. Even if she knew that the other person was lying, she would listen carefully.

Li Shishi listened carefully and said, "Brother, these things are not suitable for sale in Bianjing. It is better to let your American friends come to Beijing to pay tribute. Maybe you can get more benefits."

At this time, the madam came to urge him again, and Yan Qing had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

Li Shishi reluctantly asked, "When will my brother come?"

Yan Qing said, "I'll be here in a few days. By the way, where does the madam have one?"

"Sister knows, brother, don't worry, mom is also a wise person and won't take it out!"

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he stood up and left. He also understood what Li Shishi meant. Zhao Ji was ambitious and liked the sight of "all nations coming to pay tribute" the most. If he took out these things, he would indeed get more rewards.

If it is sold, even if it is auctioned, it will definitely not be as good as Zhao Ji's return gift. Not only Zhao Ji, but there are too many precedents in all dynasties! Many small countries like to bring some local specialties as tribute. (During the Ming Dynasty, North Korea could come ten times a year, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to limit the number of times they paid tribute.)

Yan Qing knew that this kind of thing was easy to do, so he hurried back, and Ma Ling was also waiting in Bianliang for the result of his meeting with Li Shishi.

When the two met, Yan Qing talked about the result with Ma Ling. Ma Ling also felt that what Li Shishi said made sense. Then he gave Yan Qing a so-called "code book" and told him how to use it. Then he went back overnight. Yan Qing could only continue to wait for news here.

----

The next day, Wang Li received the news and thought about it carefully, and called Xu Guanzhong and others to discuss it.

The final result was unanimous agreement, and the next step was to find and train the "envoy".

The selection of personnel was simple. Wang Li planned to hand it over to Big Wave Fan Rui, and then go to Taihu Lake to call "Curly Tiger" Ni Yun, and then teach them to speak broken Chinese, make a national seal, and make a goose feather pen to write the national letter horizontally in simplified Chinese characters. This was a simple matter.

Then he said that more than a hundred large ships came and all sank, leaving only one small boat, pulling a small boatload of glass.

More than a thousand people traveled hundreds of thousands of miles on the sea, and only two people were left alive. There would be no return mission, and even if there was, they would be miserable. Anyone with a little bit of connections would not take this life-threatening mission and would just be taken directly to Jeju Island.

Recruit some more sailors who are willing to die, and ask Zhao Ji for a big ship. It will be easy to train his own people among these sailors after a year, and the rest can be said to have returned to the sea. This is very feasible.

Wang Li became more and more excited as he thought about it, and then he went to prepare. By the way, he asked Yan Qing to calm Li Shishi down and bring her back after he was done with these things. It happened that Yan Qing had a high talent for languages, so he asked him to go to Jeju Island to learn Japanese, Bangzi language, the language of the Jurchens, etc.
