Chapter 1951

"How are they doing?"

Chen Mo and the interpreter are talking quietly in the toilet of the post house. People from the etiquette department are staring at them outside.

Touching the place where one ear was missing, the interpreter gnashed his teeth and said, "no, it's too difficult to say Daming's words and words."

Chen Mo quietly handed over a piece of gold and asked, "Bastian didn't say anything?"

"Yes, he asked me in detail." the interpreter sneered, "but I don't know the words of Daming, so I fooled it."

Chen Mo didn't bother to tie his trousers, so he stabbed the interpreter with his right hand, raised his eyebrows and said obscene: "what are you afraid of? It's a big deal to stay in Daming at that time. Don't worry. If I Chen Mo is in one day, I won't lose your job!"

The interpreter sighed, "it's a pity that his wife and children are in frank!"

Disappointed, Chen Mo agitated: "when the relationship is good, we must come again in the future. Then..."

They smiled at each other, and then tied their trouser belts together.

As soon as he got out of the toilet, someone outside shouted, "here comes Xinghe!"

Chen Mo glanced at the interpreter. Seeing that he was pale, he comforted him: "Xing Hebo speaks of righteousness. As long as you follow Daming wholeheartedly, you will benefit from it in the future. If your family suffers a loss, Xing Hebo has a nickname called magnanimity, Frank will have bad luck."

The interpreter nodded and walked quietly from behind.

When he got to the front, Bastian was already sitting in the front hall with Fang Xing, waiting for the arrival of the interpreter.

Bastian frowned at the interpreter, and then the other party woke up and said, "Your Excellency, the negotiation between the two sides is progressing smoothly. I think Frank and Daming will soon become allies and work together to ensure peace between the East and the West."

This man learns very fast! Even the word "peace" can be said easily. It can be seen that there are still some diplomatic talents.

On the diplomatic battlefield, if you say peace, I have to say hand in hand. This is both a tone and a facade.

But Fang woke up but was not interested in talking peace with him.

"How does your envoy feel during the Daming period?"

Fang Xing asked inadvertently.

Bastian praised without hesitation: "Daming has a vast land, abundant resources, a large population and the largest country in the East!"

"I will introduce Daming to everyone in frank, let them feel the strength and friendship of this friend, and lay the foundation for the long-term intimacy between the two countries."

"Then you will become a friendly envoy between the two countries. It's a good job."

Fang woke up and asked, "your envoy wants to see Ben Bo, but is the food, accommodation and hospitality not good?"

Bastian shook his head, leaned slightly over Fang Xing and said, "Frank has a long history and splendid culture, and Daming is also an empire inherited for thousands of years. There is a natural foundation of friends between the two countries. Your Excellency, Frank wants to know Daming more deeply, and it needs to contact all parties of Daming..."

The scope of activities of the Frankish mission was limited to a place within two miles of the post house. People were following them for a walk. They couldn't find a chance to take a closer look at Daming.

It's one thing to see Daming. Fang Xing judges that they prefer to collect some good things, such as Daming's weapon data. If there is a manufacturing method, it would be perfect.

And books must be what they crave!

Fang woke up, nodded and said, "the two countries are far apart. Naturally, there is no interest dispute with each other. This is the foundation."

This tactfully positions the relationship between the two countries as - because it is far away, it is not the enemy!

Bastian didn't seem to know the meaning of this sentence and continued: "we are very interested in Daming culture and hope to have a comprehensive contact opportunity, your excellency, which will enable Frank to deepen his friendship with Daming."

The man opened his mouth for peace, closed his mouth for friendship, and looked sincere in a pair of eyes that didn't know what color.

Fang Xing imagined that his students were sitting in front of him, then looked at him with more sincere eyes and said: "Benbo very much hopes to see this happen and sincerely hopes that the two countries will become more important friends, but... According to the principle of reciprocity, Frank is now coming to Daming empty handed, so all you want to get is a white wolf with empty hands in the eyes of those important officials in the court."

"This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding of frank!"

Bastian spread out his hands and said helplessly, "from Frank to here, we have been with death all the way. Your Excellency, maybe on the return trip, we will fall in the desert or die by the knife of a soldier. What is this? This is Frank's..."

"This is Frank's life."

Fang Xing was satisfied to see the amazement on Bastian's face and said: "Daming has no ambition for tessi, and it is impossible to have ambition, so the exchanges between the two countries will be difficult to be close because of the distance. Your envoy, your friendship is valued for a long time. A moment of intimacy does not mean anything. Time will judge this friendship, and Ben hopes to see you in Daming in ten or twenty years."

This was a gentle refusal and criticized Bastian's eagerness.

Without waiting for Bastian to explain, Fang woke up and left. The accompanying etiquette officials looked at him admirably and said to Bastian, "if the mission is dissatisfied with food and accommodation, you are welcome to bring it up. Daming never treats his friends badly."

After they left, Bastian waved his hand and interpreted, and then the people of the mission poured in.

"How about Bastian? Can we buy books?"

Bastian slowly drank the remnant tea and said, "I have seen bookstores in the city since landing. You guys, this is a big country with prosperous culture. Their strengths should be reflected in books, so frank needs their books."

An attendant said, "but even if we get the books, who can understand?"

After a silence, Bastian said, "our people are studying, but it seems that they can't expect it in a short time, so interpretation is very important. You should keep an eye on him and promise benefits."

An attendant said grimly, "his family is in Frank. Unless he wants to abandon his wife and children, he can only cooperate with us."

"Then let him study and learn Daming's words. I don't think he will mind one more student over there. If he does, reduce one of our people."

Everyone was smiling bitterly, including the three students.

"Bastian, Daming's characters and words are difficult to learn. Their square lines are dense. I can't imagine how they can write such beautiful words with such a soft pen. And their language can make you want to cut off your tongue..."

Another student pointed to his face and said, "we have worked hard enough. The sleeping time has been reduced by half every day, but those classics... Are too difficult. I really don't know how Ming people learn."

Bastian pressed his hand. When he was quiet, he whispered, "we can't just go back with an empty covenant. It's just a piece of waste paper..."

Everyone smiled, and no one thought the covenant would be binding.

"Bastian, what do you think of this count?"

Because the officials who contacted the mission were civil servants, and the frequent appearance of Fang Xing, a military general, made the mission members interested in the structure of Daming.

Bastian thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "I think if he is a Frankish, his highness will certainly hand over foreign affairs to him..."
