Liu Chun recognized it, and the little eunuch opposite was the little eunuch who went to his house that day to deliver the decree and ask for the textbook.

"Do you really dare to go to sea?" Liu Chun smiled: "Optical counting is not enough to cope with the rough waves of the ocean!" ”

The little eunuch naturally knew Liu Chun, and said busily: "The slave can swim, punch and kick, and archery, the slave and the maid can!" Ask the adults to reward the slaves and maids for a chance! ”

Liu Chun hurriedly waved his hand, "You are a person in the palace, I don't dare to reward it, and I don't dare to touch the business in the palace." If you let Your Majesty know that I have taken advantage of the palace, you will not take my skin! ”

Liu Chun's tone was exaggerated, and the old eunuch chuckled: "Lord Liu, you are too polite, the emperor treats you as a junior, so he has not seen the outside, and no number of people can look forward to it...... By the way, Lord Liu, you just said that the business in the palace, there is still a lot of money in it? ”

Liu Chun gave him a blank look, "Let me ask you, is ambergris worth anything?" ”

"Oops!"

The old eunuch's mouth opened wide in shock!

That's right!

His bottle of ambergris perfume costs at least ten taels...... What about gold!

"Lord Liu, what kind of whale do you say, how much ambergris can you have, don't pay for it." The old eunuch worried.

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "The most important thing about sperm whales is not ambergris, but whale oil hidden in the head, by the way, whale oil is used in hot air balloons." Whale oil can also illuminate and can be used for many purposes. In addition, whale meat can be eaten, and whale internal organs and bones can be crushed for fertilizer! ”

"Let's put it this way, as long as you can catch whales, you will definitely not lose, and you can make a lot of money!"

Liu Chun is not lying, before the large-scale use of oil, whale oil had a pivotal position in the industry and was a very important fuel.

In later generations, almost all countries that claimed to protect whales had their ancestors engaged in whaling, and they were the ones who caught them to extinction.

Of course, there are even worse, even commercial whaling has resumed, what can be said!

Liu Chun felt that he was a kind person, and he only caught half of the whales at most, and then he made a decree and resolutely stopped whaling, after all, he still had to eat now!

The old eunuch muttered, "Lord Liu, according to what you said, going to sea to hunt whales is also a way out...... By the way, there is one more thing for the slave. ”

The old eunuch mentioned it to Liu Chun very early, hoping that he could help, but the old eunuch never said what was going on, and today, the old eunuch finally spoke.

"My lord, that's the case, I thought my family was dead, but then I asked someone to inquire, and I learned that there was a nephew who fled to a foreign country, and only after the world was peaceful, did he return to his hometown. I asked him to send him some money so that he could live in peace, and he promised to give me a son......"

According to the old eunuch, Liu Chun is not surprised at all, in fact, most of the eunuchs, not counting those who died in the palace, will find a way to either pass on, or take in a godson and provide for their old age.

"My nephew, he has a bad life, and before I found him, he gave birth to four sons! Later, three more were born in a row! ”

The old eunuch's face was full of bitterness, "People say that they can't steal the door of the five women...... gave birth to five girls in a row, which proves that this family is too unlucky, and there is no one to inherit the incense, and the thieves are not willing to steal it. But as for my nephew, who gave birth to seven, I don't even know what to say. ”

Liu Chun chuckled: "It's okay, if you don't want to step a girl!" ”

The old eunuch waved his hand, "Lord Liu, don't make fun of the old slave." Later, I thought of a way, which was to find another one for my nephew, not to mention, there was a big fat son left! I'm a successor. ”

Liu Chun chuckled: "Isn't that good?" ”

"What a thing!" The old eunuch was about to cry, "His parents, and seven sisters, all regard this child as a baby, doesn't the countryside say that the girl's life is cheap and easy to feed?" No, they gave the child a nickname, Old Girl. From the time she was born, she was raised as a girl, wore floral clothes, did not go out of the door, and did not step out of the second door...... It's been more than ten years, and it's been surviving to survive, but it's crooked! ”

The old eunuch was so angry, when he pondered that the child was older and asked his nephew to bring him into the capital, he arranged something to do.

After meeting, the old eunuch was blinded.

This is a nephew, it's just a little girl!

The skin is white and tender, and he is still wearing light-colored clothes, his shoes and handkerchiefs are embroidered with flowers, he has a mouth, he speaks softly, and he blushes at every turn.

Coupled with the thin strips of figure, it is difficult to distinguish male and female.

The old eunuch wanted to drag him to the toilet to see if he was standing up to pee or squatting......

"I, I can't tell anyone!"

The old eunuch wanted to cry without tears, "The child is so old, I can't ignore it, but what, he is not a person who stands up for the top door, and when he looks like that, he can't be a guard, and he can't enter the brocade guard." He was late again, but he was literate and literate, but he couldn't take the imperial examination...... If you can't write it, you can't do it, it's so bad to be so bad. The last time I went to Beijing, I sent him back under the pretext of being young, this time I entered Beijing, I was fifteen years old, not only did the problem not change, but I also sprayed perfume on my body, you, what do you say I should do! ”

The old eunuch was really embarrassed. This is my own inheritance, not my own birth, and I can't beat or scold. However, he is the most unfeminine among women.

The descendant he hopes for should be high-spirited and tall, preferably full of beard, and earth-shattering when he speaks...... But who would have thought that it would become such a thing, how would he be good?

"Lord Liu, I don't expect fame, I can make him a rich man, I will be content, you see how this business is going to be done, can you give him a way to make money?"

After listening to the old eunuch's complaints, Liu Chun smiled lightly, "This is no problem, but the whaling business is too big." According to you, he may not be able to withstand the wind and waves at sea, so he might as well concentrate on the perfume business, how about it? ”

"Perfume business? Is it done? ”

"There's no problem, it's just some spices crushed and then added alcohol, it's not very difficult. There is a special teaching in my school, and when I go back to let him listen to some courses, I always have to understand a little bit of the situation, so as not to be deceived by others. When he gets acquainted with it, he can take charge of a piece. I can't guarantee anything else, but perfume, especially if it's made high-end, it's no problem to divide it into tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. ”

Liu Chun said at the beginning that the whaling business was too big and he wanted to give a small one, and the old eunuch was still a little hesitant, but when he heard that he could make tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, the old eunuch was not calm at all.

"No, absolutely not! That kid is not this material, he can't keep such a big fortune...... In this way, Lord Liu, ninety percent belongs to you, give him one percent, don't starve to death, without you to take care of it, I'm afraid that he will suffer, so that's it! ”

The old eunuch didn't give Liu Chun the slightest chance to object, and directly settled the matter.

Before leaving, the old eunuch looked at the little eunuch, shook his head silently, and said nothing...... I'm ashamed, that thing in my own house is obviously with a handle, but it is not as tough as this little eunuch, it can be seen that whether it is a man or not, it depends on the connotation!

When the old eunuch left, Liu Chun was curious: "You told me something last time, are you really sure you can do it?" ”

The little eunuch saw that Liu Chun still remembered him, and his heart was happy, but if he wanted to say whether he could do it, he didn't know.

"Lord Liu, that's right, the slave's father and ancestor were born rich and noble, they went to Dashi several times, and the slave and maid listened to many stories from the sea since they were children, and they were the most fascinated. But then he was unfortunately captured...... Sent to the palace. By the way, seven years ago, the slave maid also served the eldest prince of Yanwang! ”

Liu Chun was stunned, seven years ago, it was the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and at that time, Xiao Fat Dun was indeed in the capital with Lao Zhu.

"Have you served Zhu Gaochi?"

"Hmmm! But it didn't take long, and later the eldest prince returned to Beiping to visit King Yan, and the slave maid temporarily returned to the palace. Some time ago, the eldest prince went south again to Yingtian, but unfortunately, I am not blessed to continue to serve the eldest prince, the eldest prince's people are really good. He helped the slave and maid borrow nine chapters of arithmetic, and he often gave the slave and maid food. ”

The little eunuch mentioned the little fat dun, full of gratitude.

Liu Chun then remembered that after the Zhu Gaochi brothers went south, they first lived in the Wei State Mansion, and then went to the East Palace, which was opened up by Zhu Biao alone. It is reasonable that the little eunuch did not go to serve.

"By the way, you said your name is Ma He, right?"

"That's right! It's Ma He! Thank you, sir, for remembering the slave! ”

Liu Chun chuckled, but he was thinking in his heart, how nice it would be if you were called Zheng He!

But it doesn't matter, with Lao Tzu's ability, can't he be trained to be Zheng He?

When Liu Chun thought of this, he became motivated, "Don't worry, this time I will go to sea to hunt whales, and I will definitely let you go...... However, I can't let you call the shots, I'm going to find someone more experienced. ”

"You follow him, study hard, learn all his skills, and when it's almost over, let you be the leader, how about it?"

The little eunuch nodded desperately, "My lord, then I want to go to the big food to have a look, okay?" ”

"Big food?" Liu Chun smiled dumbly. "I want you to sail around the world!"

"Universal? What balls? ”

"It's the earth beneath our feet!" Liu Chun said: "My division commanders said that there is a huge sphere under their feet, and I really hope that someone can go around and come back to prove that our division's opinion is right!" ”

The little eunuch nodded vigorously, "My lord, leave it to me, I can do it!" ”
