Chapter 138 Alan

Zhu Xiaoen patted the wine pot in front of him, raised his hand to point at the vault of the Lion Building, and added: "There are also stone beasts at the drainage outlet. I want to build the castle like this."

"Now Your Majesty has enthroned me as king. If everything goes well, I will have my own court, and the court should look like a court."

Chen Mu wanted to laugh, but the memories from later generations made him unable to laugh.

If he was a native of the Ming Dynasty, he would probably be laughing at the sky with his stomach covered.

But Chen Mu couldn't do it.

The wine pot is made by a kilnmaker with a daily salary of four cents of silver; the vault, the green tiles and the water-spouting stone beast, the stonemason and carpenter have lower wages. If a craftsman who masters such skills goes to Europe, he or she should be respected as an artist if he or she has some knowledge.

But here, their status is very close to the bottom of society, and the rewards they receive for their work are extremely meager.

Chen Mu hopes that this land will be richer and that everyone will have a higher status. Perhaps soon, the world will move in the direction he hopes to see.

"If the artist you refer to is Chen's Ministry of Engineers and the Ministry of Revenue, no problem, when we go to Ailan Kingdom, the artist you want will arrive. They can start by burning bricks and tiles in all the craftsmanship of the Beiyang Military Palace."

Chen Mu lifted up the hem of the python robe and sat at the table, without pouring it into the cup, held his own pottery wine pot and poured a small mouthful. Then he placed his hands on the table and said, "But why don't you worry about your territory?"

"According to what you said, you, the Earl, has had a bad relationship with England. The Earl has been away from the territory for so long, maybe the Queen of England has taken back your family territory."

"I think what you need more than an artist is the army, a strong army is the capital to maintain your rule."

Zhu Xiaoen didn't say anything, poured himself a glass of wine very quietly, tied a piece of cucumber with a wooden stick and put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly as he listened to the sound of the pipa.

He has already used chopsticks skillfully, but most of the time, wooden sticks are easier to use for him than chopsticks.

"I am an earl and cannot defeat England, and I cannot rebel in the local area. I thought it clear before going to sea. In any case, without the support of a big man, it is impossible to ensure that the territory is not controlled by England. Ireland is too close to England."

"Phillip is very passionate about the matter in Ireland. He seems to be very passionate about Elizabeth, who opposes Protestantism, but cannot give me any substantial help."

"The only help Habsburg can give me is to let me enjoy my old age in Seville after the war was defeated - and it was then that I realized that a small piece of land in southern Seville was no longer dominated by the Spanish for the next hundred years."

"A country that had never appeared in Europa, after the victory of the war, demanded a piece of land 50,000 miles away and leased, which meant that the Chinese Empire had ambition to expand eastward."

This is not the first time that Zhu Xiaoen has shown his vision beyond ordinary people in front of Chen Mu.

Whether his scrutiny of the progress of England's handicraft industry and the expansion of the New World brought about the bourgeois speculation of the future political situation or his determination to fly thousands of miles to this point without hesitation - this is why Chen Mugao looked at him.

Not all mediocre people can come to China alone for the sake of a possibility, especially a noble who owns a territory.

"If the support is difficult, can I reduce the fleet sent to the Ailan Kingdom in advance, for example, six ships and five hundred flag troops?"

"No, no, no, I can afford it. As long as they can exert their combat power in the school field when they encounter war, they are not afraid of more. They will provide them with the supplies they provide during the war in the southwest, and they will also prepare some wine!"

"It is necessary to drink alcohol, but not frequently, every pot every ten days. Well, since you understand this, there is one thing left to the king."
