Before Guo Dan went abroad, his English was already very good, so when he was studying abroad, he also majored in a foreign language, which is Spanish, because Spanish plays an important role in the whole of Latin America, including some states in the United States, and is the second largest language in the world.

But the Italian language is very similar to Spanish, as long as you learn one language, then learn the other is very simple, after graduation, he went to learn Italian because of his work, but only for oral communication, writing is still not good.

Although when communicating with Catherine, I found that some words were pronounced differently and accents were different, but combined with the upper and lower contexts, there was no problem in understanding, as long as it was not a very professional term, the communication was still very fluent.

Guo Dan suddenly called in a secretary and asked him to take Catherine to the lounge to rest, and then said to Catherine: "You take a rest here first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Catherine thanked her again and again, and then followed the secretary out.

After Catherine went out, Xu Jirong was extremely excited: "Guo Dan, how can you speak Francis?" ”

Guo Dan wrote lightly: "I used to learn from a Franco. ”

Aunt Xu asked, "Then you still pretend that you can't?" ”

You're trying to tease me.

This time she was really embarrassed, she understood a little, and her lame Fran was really unspeakable in comparison.

"It's just a misunderstanding."

Guo Dan couldn't help but look at Xu Jirong depressedly, and said: "It's all because the little uncle just said a Francophone language that I didn't understand at all, and I thought I had learned another Francophone language before." ”

"I see." Aunt Xu nodded slightly.

The reason why she knew at that time that Xu Jirong might speak Francois was because their accents were very thick, so thick that Guo Dan thought it was another language, which caused this misunderstanding.

"You're amazing."

Xu Jirong pursed his lips and said, "I'm never going to learn Franc anymore." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Why?" ”

Xu Jirong said depressedly: "I learned Franco's language to pretend to be forced, but you speak so well, how can I pretend to be forced." ”

“......！”

This kid is really stunned.

Guo Dan said: "You guys talk first, I'll talk to Catherine." ”

Xu Jirong snorted, then sat next to Aunt Xu, and said with a grin: "Auntie, I'll accompany you." ”

Aunt Xu smiled and nodded, but her eyes flashed with doubt, she didn't understand why Guo Dan was so interested in this Franco girl.

The reason why Guo Dan asked Catherine to go to the lounge was because he knew that Aunt Xu might be able to understand better.

He went to the lounge and talked to Catherine in detail, and basically got to know her details.

This Catherine followed a missionary to Daming, during the journey, she mostly worked as a nurse, although she mentioned surgery, but at this time Western medicine did not really evolve into modern medicine, it can be said that ancient Western medicine, but medical ideas changed with the Renaissance.

But during the questioning, Guo Dan mentioned the map, the clock, and so on, and Catherine told him that the missionary would do this.

This made Guo Dan more interested in the missionary, and after this inquiry, he learned that the missionary's Chinese name was "Matteo Ricci", and he was now in Zhaoqing Mansion.

"Matteo Ricci?"

Guo Dan frowned slightly, and muttered: "It turned out to be him, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." ”

This Matteo Ricci he remembers that he was an important figure in the exchanges between China and the West during the Ming Dynasty.

Bang!

The door slammed open.

"Ahh

Catherine screamed in fright.

Guo Dan was also startled, turned his head to look, and saw Zhu Yihua and Xu Jirong staring at the two of them with wide eyes.

Yang Feixu stood behind them and said a little helplessly: "I didn't expect them to do this." ”

"Understood!"

Guo Dan nodded.

Zhu Yihua wondered: "Guo Dan, why are you all wearing clothes?" ”

Guo Dan rolled his eyes secretly and said, "I don't have the habit of taking off my clothes during the day. ”

Zhu Yihua shook his head and said: "Guo Dan, you don't understand this, this day has fun during the day." ”

“......！”

Guo Dan was speechless for a while, and said: "Lord Wang, you came just in time, I have something to talk to you about, let's go outside to talk." ”

With that, he pushed the two guys out.

When he came outside, Guo Dan looked left and right, and said, "Is Aunt Xu gone?" ”

"Aunt Xu is also there?"

Zhu Yihua's vicious gaze immediately searched in the office.

I get it! Guo Dan kindly reminded: "Don't look for it, you must be gone." ”

"Alas... What a coincidence. ”

Zhu Yihua said very regretfully.

Xu Jirong on the side suddenly snorted angrily, shook his head and left.

Zhu Yihua panicked and hurriedly shouted, "Oops! Brother Rong, Brother Rong, you misunderstood! I just want to say hello to your aunt, it's just because the younger generation has etiquette for the elders, and my brother has no other ideas. ”

You really take the little uncle for an idiot. Guo Dan rolled his eyes secretly and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't shout, just coax later." ”

Zhu Yihua sighed bitterly: "You don't know, it's even more difficult to coax Brother Rong than to coax a woman." ”

"I'll help you."

"Really?"

Zhu Yihua said happily: "That's really great! ”

"It's a gesture."

Guo smiled lightly, put Zhu Yihua on the balcony again, and asked, "Lord Wang, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "I heard that Brother Rong brought Linlin here, so I rushed over to take a look." ”

"Look at what?"

"Look at ......!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Yihua suddenly closed his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said with a straight face: "Don't be like Brother Rong, misunderstand this king, this king is really a good intention, because this Franco woman is very different from my Han woman, there is a lot of attention to it, if there is the slightest improper operation, it will be very disappointing, for example, they have a smell on their bodies, before having sex, you have to let her take a bath to taste ......" ”

He said a lot of things freely, and Guo Dan was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Talent!

This kind of thing can be said professionally.

It seems that you are really a professional counterpart to let you open a green building!

Guo Dan said gratefully: "Thank you very much for the guidance of the prince, but it's a pity that I may not need it." ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Do you like that smell?" ”

"Of course not, but I'm not interested in them at all."

"Then what are you looking for Linlin to do?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about this, Lord Wang."

Guo Dan said: "I want Linlin to come over and help me." ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Guo Dan, thinking that you are a selfish person, you actually occupy Linlin alone, do you know that Linlin is very popular in the Exotic Museum." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Really? What talent does she have? ”

"She can sing and dance and be big."

"And big?"

"It's so big, can't you even see it?"

“...... I saw it, I saw it. ”

Guo nodded with a smile, and said, "But you misunderstood, I asked Linlin to come over, mainly to learn the language of Furlong Ji." ”

"Learning Furlong again?"

Zhu Yihua stood up excitedly, hating iron and steel: "You are really stupid in the capital!" Do you know, last night Brother Rong suddenly wanted to wrap up Linlin, and this king was very curious at the time, so he peeked outside the door... Well, this king actually wants to guide him, but he doesn't know... He was actually learning the language of Furlong Ji, but he was really angry with this king, but Brother Rong was only spending one night in the end, and you are even more excessive. ”

Can you still communicate pleasantly. Guo Dan was the first two big, and said: "Prince, I invited Linlin to come over, in fact, it has a lot to do with the prince, and the prince should not have forgotten the matter of changing the domain." ”

When Zhu Yihua heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he said seriously: "What is the relationship between the two?" ”

This plan has already been decided, and Wanli has also talked to Zhu Yihua, of course Zhu Yihua agreed, because it will take many years to change the domain, and he can play for a few more years, and then he can go overseas to search for all kinds of women.

Guo Dan said: "Let the prince change the domain is actually just a pretense, which can greatly delay the prince to become a domain, and secondly, you can also borrow the domain to earn the money of the Francophone, we need to deal with the Francophone when the time comes, so I want to ask Linlin to teach some people the language of the Francophone." ”

"I see."

Zhu Yihua nodded and said, "That's okay, this king will let Linlin come over to help you." ”

This guy is a typical Gemini, usually greedy for money and lustful, and does all kinds of evil, but when it comes to business, he is not ambiguous at all.

"But if you don't mention it, the king will almost forget, when will this plan be carried out?" Zhu Yihua asked again.

"It won't be long before."

Guo said lightly: "But this requires the prince to have a clear conscience and do a bad thing to attract the attention of the ministers, I don't know what the prince wants to do, and he can't do it?" ”

Doing bad things on orders? Zhu Yihua's eyes flashed rapidly, and he sighed: "This is really embarrassing for this king, I remember that this king told you that the worst thing this king has ever done was skipping class because of fun when he was a child." However, the emperor's brother's major affairs are important, so this king can help the emperor's brother at the expense of his reputation. ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it seriously and said, "I am afraid that it is difficult to arouse the minds of the ministers in such a trivial matter as a fight, and some very bad things must be done, such as... To occupy the people's daughters, this will definitely attract the attention of the ministers. ”

Fuck you. Guo Dan said: "Isn't the prince afraid of self-defeating? You must know that occupying the people's girls may cause human lives, but don't make it difficult for Your Majesty, just... Just trample on the farmland. ”

"Practice... Trampling farmland? ”

Zhu Yihua said depressedly: "What's the point of this." ”

Guo Dan said: "This can allow the prince to stay in the capital for many more years and carry forward the exotic museum." ”

"Okay, just trample the farmland."

Zhu Yihua nodded.

Guo Dan said: "That's right! The Francois woman in the Exotic Museum, did the prince catch it from all over the coast? ”

Zhu Yihua said: "It's not all, Linlin's people happened to meet her, and most of them were sent." ”

"Sent?"

Guo Dan was surprised.

Zhu Yihua nodded and said: "Many Tianfang businessmen come to my Daming to do business, and they often sell Francophone women to various places, and when they saw that the king's people were looking for Franco women, they sent some very beautiful ones to this king." Hehe. ”

This "heavenly square" refers to Arabia.

Arab merchants have been traveling in Asia, Africa, and Europe, and have always had a lot of trade with the Ming Dynasty, so of course they have to curry favor with the Ming officials, and at the same time they are engaged in the trade of white slaves, but not to the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty does not like these "uncivilized" people, this time I heard that the prince of the capital came to find the Franco woman, and immediately gave his favorite white slaves to King Lu.

It's so well worth it.

In the current era, in fact, it is also the era of white slavery, under the evil capitalism, anything can be sold, when the British did not start colonization, they first sold their own people, not black slaves, most of the British who went to the Americas were slaves, not civilians.

Guo Dan is very clear about this history, because this is about the rise of capital, and it is a lesson that must be learned, but unfortunately, those white slaves are not of much value to him, because he knows that most of those women are illiterate and domesticated.

He needed Western knowledge, not Western women.

Although he knows a lot about the steam engine, he only knows that he is not a professional, and it involves many industrial bases, such as iron smelting and steel making, he will not know.
