After receiving the letter, Chen Xi felt not honor, but trouble. ([[[( ?( ?

In this letter, Almeida stated that he had sent a letter to Manuel, King of Fronji, telling the king about the distant Easter life.

King Folangji gave Almeida the power to make decisions on the spot, allowing him to negotiate business with Eastern countries on his own. Therefore, after returning to Malacca for a while, Almeida felt that Chen Xi was capable and knowledgeable, and was well versed in the way of getting along with "civilized countries". He wanted to serve as a bridge for communication between the country of Folangji and the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi was worried that Folang Jiren secretly wrote a letter to him. If anyone knew about this, it would at least be a "internal and external vassal", which would be a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan.

And it’s hard to explain why the Folang Jiren doesn’t write to others, but just write to you?

After the Folangji people paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty as a vassal, they obtained the right to trade in Fuzhou and Quanzhou Port. Almeida was escorted to Beijing and witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. An ordinary county town in the Ming Dynasty was comparable to the capital of Folangji, let alone the prosperous Nanjing and the capital.

The people of Folangji hope that Chen Xi would have "huge influence" in the court and help Folangji to further make friends with the Ming Dynasty... According to the tradition of Europa, whoever can achieve a major victory in foreign wars will be able to get a title. Chen Xi made great contributions and would definitely get a generous gift from the Ming court, and it is no problem to be promoted. Unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing, and Chen Xi's actual influence in the Ming court was insignificant.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, any promotion requires "seniority ranking". Young people must experience more. Only when they are old can they handle things in a stable manner will they not make mistakes. Moreover, the imperial power is supreme. Even if they can be civil officials and become the auxiliary of the cabinet, life and death will be just a word from the emperor... The king must die if the minister dies!

Chen Xi received the letter from Folang Jiren, not only without any contribution, but also contained huge risks... Since Folang Jiren had another move, the matter could not be hidden and he had to pull someone into the water.

This person can only be the Grand Secretary Xie Qian.

"...what? The Folang Jiren wrote you a letter!? You kid won't have any secret connection with them, right?"

When Xie Qian returned home, he saw Chen Xi crossing his legs like the owner of the Xie Mansion, holding the book on the chair he usually sat on. Xie Hengnu stood aside with a smile, saying a few words from time to time, his eyes shining, which made Xie Qian feel frustrated when he saw it.

As a result, when Chen Xi asked for something, it was about Folang Jiren, and Xie Qian's tone was not so peaceful.

Chen Xi quickly explained: "Old Xie Ge Lao cannot wrongly accuse the students. When the student was in Quanzhou, he had a bloody battle with the Folang Jiren. How could there be a connection?"

Xie Qian was speechless.

It is possible for Folang Ji people to find others, but it is not reasonable to find Chen Xi. It is like asking someone to help, and the enemy who is looking for a murderer of his father, which is obviously a frame-up.

"These Folang Ji people are cruel in their hearts."

Of course, Xie Qian did not understand the psychology of Folang Jiren worshipping the strong, and only thought about the ways of dealing with the people of Daming. He thought that Folang Jiren was carrying out "counter-espionage plan" and made the court distrust Chen Xi.

"But you boy, what's the point of being good? Why do they use such a poisonous plan to get rid of you soon?"

Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "Is it because the students hurt them before?"

Xie Qian thought that even if the Folang Jiren wanted to take counter-espionage plan, he should still find the person in power and would never look for "little shrimps" like Chen Xi. But after thinking about it again, the Folang Jiren probably was for revenge.

"Since you are innocent, don't worry. I believe Your Majesty can be aware of your thoughts." Xie Qian suddenly turned his head and looked at Xie Hengnu who was standing next to him, and shouted, "What are you still standing here for?"

Xie Hengnu didn't expect that his grandfather would ignore her after coming back. After paying his respects to his grandfather, he received no response. He was not leaving or staying. He just listened to his grandfather and Shen Xi discussing matters there, but how could her little head understand this? For a moment, it was in vague!

"Grandpa...I...Jun'er surrendered."

Xie Hengnu nodded slightly, a little scared.

After leaving the study door, she thought to herself: "Brother Seven is so amazing. Even grandpa has to discuss things with him. There are also evil people from the foreign vassals who want to frame Brother Seven. I hope Brother Seven can get rid of danger!"

Xie Hengnu had long admired Chen Xi. Chen Xi was not only a playmate who could give her a kind of friendship and care, but also had insight and ability. At the same time, she looked so handsome that she was like a fan of idol worship. She always wanted to stay with Shen Xi. As for marriage and family, it was not included in the little girl's consideration. She only knew that she liked Chen Xi, and Chen Xi always had a smile on her face, which was enough.

In the study room, Chen Xi and Xie Qian continued to discuss the matter about Folang Jiren.

Chen Xi felt that it was unnecessary to Xie Qian's statement that he could help him explain to Emperor Hongzhi. Because he knew very well that the real purpose of Folang Jiren was not to make things difficult for him. On the one hand, it was to show respect for him, and on the other hand, it was to increase trade cooperation.

From the perspective of the times, the Ming Dynasty should contact the outside world more. In addition to restricting the development of foreign trade and industry and commerce, it will also greatly increase the arrogance of the Chinese people, blindly exclusion, and not be enterprising.

At the same time, this conservative and ignorant will hinder cultural exchanges between the East and the West, making it impossible for modern Western science and technology to be introduced to the Ming Dynasty, and blindly rejecting Western technology as "strange skills and tricks". The final result will be that the Ming Dynasty will lag behind the world in an all-round way.

Chen Xidao: "Old Master Xie doesn't have to take things too seriously. Maybe he can turn bad things into good things..."

"Good thing? Why can't I see it? You kid cares about yourself at all. Do you want to harm you and still speak for them?"

Xie Qian looked at Chen Xi and didn't quite understand what Chen Xi's real intention was.

Chen Xidao: "Master Xie Ge may wish to think about it. During the Yongle period, my Ming Dynasty sent ships to sea many times, and at that time, all nations came to pay tribute. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been in seclusion and we do not understand many things outside. This will greatly affect the position of our Ming Dynasty in the minds of the vassal states."

"My Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. What are the barbarians who are slashing and burning? "Xie Qian held the idea of ​​going to the country that most Chinese people have.

Chen Xidao: "Old Xie seems to have forgotten about the Folang machine cannon..."

With one sentence, Xie Qian choked back.

In Xie Qian's eyes, the "slash-and-burn" Folang Ji people could actually produce the Folang cannons that the Ming Dynasty did not have. The ingenuity and advanced artillery amazed the Ming craftsmen. If Chen Xi had not resolutely transported the Folang cannons from Quanzhou to the capital and advocated the performance of cannons in the school field to let the emperor see the power of the cannons, there would have been no artillery power in the battle against the Tatars in the future, which would have turned defeat into victory and gained the initiative over the grassland tribes.

"What else do they have except the Folang machine cannon?" Xie Qian asked curiously at this moment.

Chenxi Road: "How do you know that the students have never been to the country of Flangji? But the students heard that one of the Flangji people was named Columbus. He found several high-yield crops on a magical land. We can let the Flangji people exchange the germs and seeds of these crops in exchange."

Xie Qian's old face wrinkled and looked at Chen Xi. He didn't quite understand where Chen Xi heard these messages. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be nonsense?"

Chen Xi is really aimless.

Columbus was a Spanish, with two countries, and Almeda, but at this time the Spanish and Portuguese were called Folangji people by the Ming Dynasty.

Columbus is the Great American 6 in 1492. This year was the fifth year of Hongzhi. Columbus went to the Great American 6 several times one after another. He always thought that Great American 6 was India, and then brought back several crops that later changed the world back to Europe, which were clearly corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Now nine years have passed, these crops have begun to sow in colonies in Europe, South Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia, but have not yet been spread to the Ming Dynasty.

The population explosion in Chinese history originated from the introduction of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn into China in the late Ming Dynasty, providing enough food for the rapid population growth.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "These things are indeed heard by students, but whether they are nonsense has not been confirmed yet. However, when Mr. Xie heard about the power of the Folang machine cannon, did he think it was nonsense?"

Xie Qian touched his beard on his chin with a little hesitation: "How sure are you kid?"

"Tenths!" Chen Xidao, "Old Master Xie just submits this to Your Majesty. The students dare to guarantee their own wealth and life, and there is no vain."

Xie Qian said angrily: "What do you want your life and life? Since you think this is feasible, then go back and write a memorial. After reading it, I feel that it is okay, so I will naturally copy it and submit it."

At first glance, Xie Qian was preparing to steal Chen Xi's credit, but Chen Xi knew that Xie Qian's move was protecting him.

If Shen Xi proposed a deal with Folang Jiren and said that he would introduce corn, sweet potatoes and potato seeds, Emperor Hongzhi was disdainful and would even think that Chen Xi was the second Zhang Lian, who was bought by Folang Jiren, so he would talk nonsense. But Xie Qian became a cabinet minister and he would report the memorial, then there would be no problem.

Xie Qian is basically considered a high-ranking minister. If the proposal is pertinent, even Emperor Hongzhi will not be able to refuse in person, let alone Xie Qian's request was related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so he had no choice but to ignore it.

When Chen Xi returned home, he entered the study and started writing the memorial book. To be precise, he helped Xie Qian draft the memorial book. When Xie Qian turned around, he could copy a copy and submit a copy to Emperor Hongzhi.

Chen Xi had already thought about how to write this memorial, which was to suggest that the court would conduct all-round exchanges with the Folang Ji people like they did to North Korea. Inadvertently, the Folang Ji people proposed to exchange some crop seeds, send out the Ming Dynasty crops, and then bring in the outside seeds.

Although it seems to be equal, corn, potato and potato seeds may involve the increase of tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people in the future, which is the hope for the Ming Dynasty in the future.
