"Now we have the ship and the goods, all we need are the people who are going to the ocean!"
Xiao Chen looked at the crowd: "I ask you guys to gain my trust. Naturally, this group of people will be your first choice."
After hearing this, several people rushed to the scene, "As long as His Highness orders it, I will do my best to live up to your expectations!"
"Don't worry yet, I know you are very capable, but this also requires selecting people."
"Going to sea is not like fighting a war. A long period of wandering at sea requires not only being proficient in water skills, but also being familiar with various weather conditions in the water and at sea."
"At the same time, you also need to have a certain communication foundation."
"Sail westward and you will see different countries and find different languages. Our mission is to achieve cultural exchange and economic improvement."
"I was thinking, should I give you some training?"
After all, we are dealing with other countries, and they are all warriors. If something is wrong, they will be despised.
Wang Dekai suddenly said: "Your Highness, this matter is actually more appropriate for me."
"In the early years, Zhang Meng and I have been at sea for many years, and we have a rich understanding of the sea. As for knowledge, you don't have to worry."
"It's embarrassing to say that when I took the scientific examination, I got the top two prizes."
"Okay, it's just that I loved leading troops in wars and serving the country, so I ended up becoming a military commander."
Others quickly echoed and had to admit his glorious deeds.
Xiao Chen was quite impressed: "Unexpectedly, you are really a secretive person."
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"When the time comes, I will assign you the best navy team, and you will sail westward with the goods, make friends with allies from various countries, and open up a unique maritime road for me!"
Wang Dekai said: "I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
After the matter was settled, Xiao Chen was busy settling accounts for several days.
Shen Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore: "Your Highness, you are of royal blood and have a noble bloodline."
"Why do you need to do things like settling accounts yourself?"
Xiao Chen was helpless: "Most of the soldiers in the army are warriors who are not proficient in this kind of delicate work, and such a huge account is not something that ordinary people can understand."
"If I make a mistake in my calculation, I'm afraid that woman will have to yell for a long time..."
Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of Concubine Jing. He was still wearing the shoes she had given her personally.
She has always been a Sihai Trading Company who likes money. Although he is responsible for collecting money, he also does the accounting himself most of the time, mainly because he wants to experience the process of getting money into the account.
"Who is that woman? Could it be that His Highness already has someone he likes, or is married to a wife?"
Her eyes dimmed slightly, and some words stuck in her mouth, but she didn't know how to say them out.
"There are quite a few people I care about, but I haven't married yet."
After all, what can I do to marry them now?
Seeing Shen Mingyue hesitate to speak, Xiao Chen asked curiously: "Are you worried about something?"
Shen Lingyue pursed her lips and hesitated again and again before you took out an imperial edict from the baggage you were traveling with.
"How come you have an imperial edict?"
Xiao Chen frowned, his face full of vigilance.
Shen Lingyue hurriedly explained: "Don't be anxious first, you will know after taking a look."
When he opened it, he found that it was actually an imperial edict granting marriage, and the signature was the seal of the previous dynasty.
And the objects of the marriage were actually himself and Shen Lingyue!
"What's going on? You and I actually have an engagement?"
Shen Lingyue nodded depressedly: "I was still young at that time, and when my father sent me out, he asked me to take this imperial edict with him."
"Then I only heard that this is the marriage that the Holy Father has decided for the two of us since we were young."
Xiao Chen almost spit out his tea when he took a sip.
I didn’t expect that a cheap dad like me would like to find wives for others?
But he still has a good eye, and every one he finds is prettier than the last!
Xiao Chen coughed twice: "Um, why didn't you tell me until now?"
Shen Lingyue lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Because you are... an eunuch."
"With your status, even if you are married, it is the same as not being married, so I want to hide it in my heart."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "Then why do you say it again now?"
"Because I... admire you very much!"
She looked at Xiao Chen firmly: "I never thought that my fiancé is such a smart person."
"Although we are engaged, the person I like is someone as young and promising as you, smart and courageous, and has great ambitions."
"Now that we have met, it doesn't matter if you are a eunuch, what I like most is your noble character and conduct!"
Lin Yue had experienced many psychological struggles, but it was not until Xiao Chen said that she had a woman he cared about that her heart was touched.
She knew she couldn't sit still and wait for death any longer.
"My father said at the beginning that I am a member of the royal family when I am born, and I will be a ghost of the royal family when I die. Even if you have an accident, you cannot remarry."
"So, I have figured it out, and I would like to ask for your favor, Your Highness."
Shen Lingyue knelt directly on the ground, and Xiao Chen quickly helped her up: "What are you doing? Since we are engaged, I naturally cannot live up to my father's expectations."
"It's just that you really don't mind that I'm a eunuch, and you don't mind that I can't give you happiness in the future?"
He looked at Shen Lingyue with great interest.
When I first met her, this woman was arrogant and had an ice-like air on her body, which always gave people the feeling that strangers should not approach her.
But at this time, she gave people the frustration of a little bird.
Men have always had a desire to conquer, and such a proud and arrogant woman favored him, which indeed made Xiao Chen feel quite at ease.
Shen Lingyue said without hesitation, "I don't mind. As long as His Highness is willing, I will serve you forever."
"Living without you is already a blessing among the misfortunes. It is even more merciful that Ling Yue has someone to rely on in this life. Why bother talking about anything else?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand: "Okay, just based on your words, I will kill you!"
"If you want him, shouldn't I also have a title?"
"And I!"
"Then I want it too."
"Then Ling'er wants it too!"
Ji Hongluan, Yuluo, Tengyang Wuzi, Zhong Linger.
Several women actually walked side by side and entered the hall directly to ask for status with themselves?
Xiao Chen was slightly embarrassed, "Why are you here?"
"I heard you were back, so naturally I came to take a look."
"No, I'm talking about you, little princess..."
Zhong Ling'er wanted to come with them life and death, but Zhong Huanian was not happy, so he left her in Jiangnan.
Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived, she would chase after him and even mix with them?
Zhong Ling'er pouted her little lips arrogantly: "We have agreed that we are husband and wife, and husband and wife cannot be separated."
"I said I would share a room with you and sleep on the same bed, so I compromised!"
"This is a letter from my father."
