Chapter 859 Calami, Dangerous!

The king's funeral was held the next day.

As soon as this news came out, it triggered a 'tsunami' in this port city.

Zheng Hui and others silently observed with a little bit of disappointment, because the whole country was in mourning and they were too coquettish to play.

There was a lot of discussion in the city and even many shops were closed. It seemed that the newly deceased king was very popular among the people.

He should be a capable person. If he had established diplomatic relations with Da Jing, it would have been much smoother, but it was a pity that he was tortured to death by his own ignorance.

Since the day she left the palace, Kalemi explained the whole process with worry.

The influence of religion on Feika is indeed stronger than that of Zheng Hui and Lai Gouer.

Almost all the people do not believe in religion, and not only that, they also often perform various rituals such as prayers.

Even the most luxurious buildings in the city are churches.

In this way, after living in the city for five days, the Duke of Alves sent someone to inform Zheng to come to the palace to tell the story.

Guessing that the king's funeral was over, Zheng Hui set off with people and goods.

When we arrived at the palace, we followed the waiter's guidance to a new spacious room. The decoration style was that of an office.

The room is covered with a red carpet with complicated patterns, and there are only some simple decorations in the room. The most eye-catching thing is the huge desk in the room.

Behind the table was a child who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, crookedly wearing a large crown.

After seeing Zheng Hui and others, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

The Duke of Alves stood beside the table, bowed slightly and introduced: "Master Zheng, this is the new King of Fika."

"Although Your Majesty is still young, you can still preside over ceremonies. You can talk to Your Majesty about anything."

Zheng Hui looked at the little king, bowed slightly and gave a foreigner's salute.

This is a little brat. It seems that we need to discuss it with the Duke of Alves and keep it as brief as possible.

"This visit to your country has nothing important to do. It is just to establish friendship and lay the foundation for future exchanges between the two countries."

"This time I also brought Dajing's specialties, and I hope your country will accept them."

After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the sailors who followed him opened the box they brought.

The porcelain, silk, tea and other items neatly stacked inside were revealed.

The waiter in the hall came forward and placed the items in the box on the table one by one.

The little king looked curious and wanted to stretch out his hand to play with, until Duke Alves coughed lightly before retracting his hand.

Looking at the porcelain as white as jade, it is full of exotic scenes.

Duke Alves couldn't help but feel a hint of shock in his eyes.

He touched the extremely smooth silk again and exclaimed: "Is this a specialty of the East? It is indeed exquisite. I wonder how many of these things you brought this time?"

The Duke of Alves became more and more delighted as he watched.

He received an elite education since he was a child, and he has a very high level of aesthetics.

Although these things are foreign products at the moment, the elegance and sense of sophistication that come across them will definitely sell well in other countries.

If we can establish a stable business relationship with them, the income...can be imagined!

It's just that the archbishop has a life to kill the blasphemous sailor.

If you kill him and give him enough compensation, you should be able to quell the other party's dissatisfaction. But with this translation, how can you communicate with him after he's dead?

It's a bit difficult...

Zheng Huidao: "These things are specialties of our Dajing, and they are deeply loved by the people of our Dajing. Because our fleet passes through countless countries, most of these treasures have been given to other countries as gifts."

"I came to Feika today. There is only the remaining inventory here. But I think since Dajing and Feika have established a connection, the exchanges will be frequent in the future, and Dajing's goods can also enter Feika through the sea route.

market."

Duke Alves said happily: "Okay, okay! Since your country has sent you a gift, our country cannot lose its courtesy. Your Majesty has also prepared a generous gift for the envoy..."

...

An hour later, the two parties had a very pleasant conversation.

Although there are huge cultural differences and many conflicts of ideas, both sides maintain restraint.

Kalemi's throat was almost smoking.

Duke Alves looked at him from time to time, feeling extremely confused.

It’s too late to kill him and train a temporary translator! But he doesn’t want to give up the huge profits in the future!

These idiots from the East obviously haven't realized the impact their products will have on the aristocratic circle.

I learned from the chat just now that this group of Easterners will return after they decide to arrive in Feika.

Now that he is the first to come into contact with Easterners, he must find a way to make good use of this opportunity, or... send a few more little boys to the archbishop?

Damn, I just delivered it last month, and now the supply is hard to come by...

While he was struggling, Lai Gouer suddenly spoke.

"I wonder if I can borrow your country's book collection?"

Duke Alves was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart: "You also understand the language of my Feka?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit," Lai Gouer said with a smile.

This foreigner is quite reasonable. It seems that this trip went smoothly. I will study some foreign books for the last time before returning to China.

Duke Alves's chest rose and fell slightly, suppressing his joy: "Of course, your envoy can borrow any books you want, as long as you mention it."

"Then thank you Your Majesty, thank you Duke. One thing, I wonder if the Duke has heard of our great scene before, no, the traces of Easterners' activities here? Also, has the Duke heard of the Sangak country?"

Zheng Hui thought to himself, the destination of King Wu's escape to the west is Sangak. I don't know if he is there yet. Although this is not the main task, I would like to ask what if there is something important to gain?

Duke Alves frowned slightly and tried to remember.

"Sangak has heard about it. It is said that it is a small country in the north. As for the Orientals... I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but it has nothing to do with our country, so I haven't paid much attention to it. I can help you pay attention to it in the future."

Have you heard of it?!

Zheng Hui thought about it and said with a smile: "If there is any news, I hope the Duke will tell me. I will definitely give him a generous gift."

"That's natural..."

It was another great conversation, and the host and guest had a great time.

When Zheng Hui stood up and was about to say goodbye, the Duke of Alves pointed at Kalemi and said, "Sir Zheng, this person is from my country of Fika. Why don't you go back to your residence temporarily? Your Majesty has something to discuss with him in detail. What's the matter?

If you need anything, just ask."

Zheng Hui nodded and glanced at the little king.

When a new emperor takes office, it's normal for him to find someone to understand the situation. Besides, Kalemi is indeed a high-born emperor, so he doesn't have much right to stop it.

"Thank you, Duke. My fleet in Dajing will stay for a few more days and then return. I hope we can communicate more during this period."

"Definitely, definitely!"

...

After Zheng Hui took the people away, the room fell into silence. Duke Alves stared at Kalemi without saying a word.

Kalemi sat awkwardly on the chair: "I wonder if your Majesty and the Duke have anything else to ask?"

"Did those Easterners tell any lies when they were talking to me just now?"

Kalemi shook her head.

"Are there other religions in the Dajing Dynasty?"
