"Mr.
Xia" Harry said hello to Xia Xun, glanced at the two beauties around Xia Xun, and nodded to them with a smile.
"Hello everyone" After Harry greeted Xia Xun, he greeted the surrounding sandbar merchants, and Tuoba Mingde deliberately asked: "I just saw that Your Excellency seems to have accompanied General Soyaerha in, may I ask Your Excellency?"
Harry smiled and said, "Oh, I'm a distant cousin of Soyaerha, my name is Harry, a businessman, I would love to get to know everyone from the East, and by cooperating with you, I can do my business to the East."
Because there are mostly Han people here, every sentence he says will be paused, and his translator will repeat it to everyone in Chinese.
When the guests heard that he was Suo Yaerha's cousin, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him, but because of the stranger's insertion, everyone's topic was a little difficult to continue, so they ended up cold for a while.
On the other side, the magnates of the city surrounded Suo Yaerha, constantly complimenting and greeting, but there was constantly loud laughter.
Harry blinked and smiled at Xia Xun: "Mr.
Xia, what are you talking about, can I join in I would like to know more about Oriental things, I am very interested there." ” "Shall we?"
Xia Xun also hesitated a little when he heard this, everyone was discussing when the Timurid army would attack the Ming Dynasty, how long this war would last, who would win and who would lose, how much damage would be caused here, and how to avoid evil, how to say these words to him, whether he was the emperor's grandson Harry or the merchant Harry, these words were not good to talk about in front of a pure Timurid Empire.
Tuoba Mingde saw that Xia Xun was hesitant, so he took the initiative to take over the topic and said: "Mr.
Harry, let's not hide it, we are just talking about this war between your country and the Ming Dynasty. ” "Oh" Harry looked interested, his lips slightly furled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Are you speculating about who will win and who will lose this war?"
Even if the businessman next to him pretended to be a disobedient person and did not pay attention to this conversation, he unconsciously approached him when he heard this, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
Tuoba Mingde said: "No, Mr.
Harry, we are just some merchants in the Western Regions, we are not worried about the victory of the Ming Dynasty or the victory of your country, frankly, what we are most worried about is what the war will bring us" His words resonated with those around him, and some merchants responded one after another, hoping to get some useful information from the cousin of the Timurid Empire's feudal official.
Ying Zhan knew Xia Xun's true identity, and when he heard Tuoba Mingde state that they were just businessmen, pure businessmen, and they didn't have much sense of belonging to Daming, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Xun with some concern.
As the prince of the Ming Dynasty and one of the commanders of the Western Front of the Ming Dynasty, Ying Zhan was worried that the true mentality of these businessmen would anger Xia Xun, even if it was just to make Xia Xun show obvious displeasure, Ying Zhan, as an insider, would be scared.
But when he saw Xia Xun, he let go of his thoughts, Xia Xun gently shook the wine in the glass, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Harry with great interest, acting no different from other businessmen, and even more focused.
By his side, Celine and Jeanne had already started a warm conversation with Harry's black beauty, Omi, of course, there was no shortage of interpreters around them, but this did not affect their communication, and they were already very familiar with each other.
Ying Zhan's heart moved, and he hurriedly gave his wife Miaoyi a look.
Although Miao Yi still has a bit of a psychological shadow on Xia Xun who looks cool Xiao Yang Xu now, and is a little resistant to contact him and the people around him, but after all, she is from a merchant family and is completely clear about her husband's gestures, so she nodded imperceptibly and walked over.
After a short self-introduction, she quickly integrated into the social circle of these women, and Ying Zhan took a sip of wine with satisfaction.
It can be seen that this Harry loves the black beauty very much, and whether he is in business or politics, the lady route is sometimes a shortcut.
If you need to use this Harry, you will be one step ahead of others by building a good relationship with his wife.
Big people are just that their power status is higher than ordinary people, and they are better at disguising themselves in public.
There is no need to imagine that they are almost not like a person, or to believe in the flattery and embellishment of the literati, their emotions are no different from ordinary people, and even stronger, and to deal with them from the perspective of selfishness and selfishness is the same as dealing with ordinary people.
When his attention returned to Harry, Harry was laughing: "I don't think you have to worry about this question at all" Harry said with great interest: "Many people think that our Timurid the Great, like Genghis Khan in the past, has a sea of blood flowing everywhere he passes, and they will think that our army, like Genghis Khan's army, only knows how to destroy, not how to build, and the place it passes is like a locust crossing the border, a barren land."
No, it's not like that at all, it's all rumors and rumors from losers. ” Harry's expression became serious, and he said: "If you have been to Samarkand, you will find that there are many of the most brilliant artists, craftsmen and literati in the world, and our king values all the wealth created by mankind, not only material, poets, painters, craftsmen, doctors, all those who have attained great attainments in his field, will be treated as guests in Samarkand.
Genghis Khan was undoubtedly a great monarch, but his wars were mainly for the expansion of territory and the plundering of wealth, which is not the case with our Timurid Empire.
Our khan defeated many, many nations, but did not take them into his own territory, turned the people there into his subjects, he was just" Harry hesitated for a moment before coming up with a more euphemistic diplomatic phrase: "You know, there are always monarchs in this world who are cruel, who are pagan, who are hostile to us, or who try to subjugate us at the first opportunity, and our khan simply defeats them and embraces the kings of the royal family who have good intentions towards us, thus establishing a brotherly friendship between the two countries." ” Xia Xun took a sip of wine lightly, and "deeply agreed" with Harry's words, judging from the information he gathered, Harry was not lying, but just changed the facts to a more euphemistic statement.
Although the number of countries conquered by Timur the Cripple was not inferior to that of Genghis Khan, he did not include all these lands in his territory like Genghis Khan.
The territory he personally ruled had always been concentrated in Central Asia, and although his armies were invincible in West Asia, South Asia, and Eastern Europe, he had adopted the same means in all the countries he defeated: to raise puppets.
From this royal family, he chose an agent through whom he indirectly controlled the country's politics, economy, military, and religion.
This method undoubtedly has the least effort, but it can achieve the greatest effect, as long as his country remains strong, he can always control those countries, if his empire is weakened, then even if it costs several times more energy to completely annex them, what can it be, it is not the same as Genghis Khan's great empire, in an instant This kind of means is not complete destruction and plunder, its means of wealth concentration is also relatively mild, through its political influence, economic influence, to promote the natural flow of local wealth to it, this is willing to belong to the vested interests of the vested interests of the local magnates and tycoons are much smaller, the resistance and resistance is naturally minimal.
The businessmen listened to Harry's explanation, and although they were still a little skeptical of these words because of his unofficial status, their attitude was obviously much more relaxed: "In this way, it seems that it is not so terrible to take refuge in the Timurid Empire."
When a one-man tall freshly baked cream cake is wheeled into the ballroom, the cocktail party enters.
Since the Middle Ages, Europeans have been popular in eating cakes, they believe that a person's birth is the weakest soul and the most vulnerable to demonic invasion, so on this day, relatives and friends should be invited to gather around to give blessings, and make cakes, with the good luck it brings to expel demons.
Argus, the old birthday boy today, walked forward with joy, cut off a piece, and handed it to Soyaerha.
Immediately, the whole cake was divided up, and everyone had a share.
Xia Xun took a bite and put it down, seeing that Celine and Jeanne were eating with relish, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Is it delicious?"
At that time, the cake-making skills were far inferior to those of later generations, the cake was not soft enough, and the wheat candy and bee candy on it were too sweet, but it seemed that women were born with sweets, and Celine and Jeanne, who tasted the cake for the first time, ate it very deliciously, Xia Xun saw this, so he handed over his plate of cakes and said: "It seems that tomorrow we should go and buy another cook who can make Western-style meals and come back, and after going back, we can let the family taste this exotic flavor" At this time, Yu Jian's eyes were blank and his legs were fluttering, but the Caucasian beauty beside him was glorious and energetic.
In fact, Yu Jian originally wanted to fight for three silver coins for one night, but although the ideal is beautiful, the reality is too cruel, he has not been to the Qinglou Courtyard, but he has never seen such a scratching girl, and she was teased for a while, Yu Jian was like a note.
In the end, this beauty took the surname and served him for free, so she let him go contentedly.
Yu Jian's legs were weak, and he moved with the music, as if he was stepping on a dance, and he thought stupidly: "Damn, this woman is too profligate, this fucking should I use her or she will use me, I have to change it," Thinking in his heart, Yu Jian's eyes were squirming, and he suddenly saw Miao Yi who was talking and laughing with Omi and Xilin and others, although it was just a back, it was quite charming and charming, compared to those Caucasian beauties, Miao Yi's figure was much more petite and exquisite, Yu Jian's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Such a woman is easy to conquer" For a moment, he didn't notice that Miao Yi's dress was different from that of the wine girl who was waiting for a single man to be lucky in the drinking party, so he sneaked up in a daze To be continued:
