Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 42, Du Mingen's determination

On the second floor of Wangyue Building, the people who watched the excitement slowly dispersed. It was already past the meal time, and the restaurant became deserted.

However, the two groups of Du Mingen and Emperor Hongzhi did not leave in a hurry, but re-ordered the good tea and waited patiently.

"Mr. Liu, I'm Du Mingen. It's a great honor to be able to hear the master's wonderful words today."

Seeing that the people had almost left, Du Mingen also came up to chat with Liu Jin. He was very polite. He really admired Liu Jin, and he still admired the truly talented people.

"Your Excellency's reputation is too high, I'm not very talented, so I shouldn't be praised like this."

"Please sit down, Xiao Er, and change the pot of good tea."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, and looked at this Du Mingen carefully. He is not tall, has a square face, and there are two dimples on his face when he smiles, which makes people feel more friendly. His clothes look average, but his waist The jade pendant, as well as the jasper ring on the finger, can be seen to be priceless.

It is not easy to do business in this era, especially the grain business. In addition to having a strong background, one must also have strong abilities.

"Brother, today you and I are destined, why don't you come over to chat and get to know each other."

Du Mingen looked at Emperor Hongzhi at the side, and with his vicious gaze, he could tell at a glance that this person was not simple, he was imposing, he was either rich or expensive, and a businessman paid attention to making more friends and less enemies, so he was also a man with a heart. With the intention of making friends.

"It is indeed destined, that's okay, let's chat together."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he nodded after thinking about it, and also sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin, and Du Mingen sat together, while Zhao Erhu, Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, Lin Shuhong and others stood aside. Zhu Houzhao, the son of Emperor Hongzhi, carefully studied the simple globe, full of curiosity. .

"Haven't you asked your honorable name?"

After putting on the new tea, Liu Jin also smiled and asked Emperor Hongzhi. Although he already knew the identity of the other party, he naturally had to pretend not to know at this time.

"Under Zhu Ping."

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and chose a name casually.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhu, nice to meet you."

Du Mingen cupped his hands to Emperor Hongzhi and said.

"Happy meeting~"

Liu Jin also said politely quickly.

"Happy to meet."

Emperor Hongzhi also cupped his hands slightly, with a smile on his face.

After some simple compliments to each other, the three of them also chatted slowly.

"Mr. Liu has already learned a lot at a young age, and he has a lot of talents. He knows so much about the world outside of Ming Dynasty. I don't know if you have been to all the places that Mr. Liu mentioned?"

Chatting, chatting, naturally we also talked about what Liu Jin said today.

"This world is very big. Among other things, our Daming alone will take several months to travel from the northernmost to the southernmost point. I want to travel all over the world and go to all parts of the world to have a look. , It’s simply impossible not to have a decade or eight years.”

"This knowledge was also told to me by an expert I was fortunate enough to meet. Only then can I know that the world outside our Ming Dynasty is so vast. There are countries as powerful as our Ming Dynasty in this world, and We are as bright and dazzling as China’s civilization.”

Liu Jin shook his head, but he knew very well in his heart that after the Emperor Hongzhi returned, he would definitely check out the eighteen generations of his ancestors. the expert.

Anyway, in this era, there are always some self-proclaimed talented people who like to pretend to be a master. It is not surprising that I say this.

"There is such an expert in the world. I don't know if it is convenient to tell us his name. If there is a chance, I would like to meet this expert and ask him for advice."

Emperor Hongzhi has always been thirsty for talents, and now most of the princes in the court are virtuous people. Hearing that there are high-level people, and what Liu Jin said today, he also wants to know Liu Jin. The tall man in the mouth.

"This expert is called Xu Xiake. He travels all over the world, his whereabouts are vague, and he has long since lost track of where he is going."

Liu Jin pretended to be helpless and said, and at the same time put the hat of an expert on Xu Xiake's head. As for the real Xu Xiake in history, there is still a long time before he was born.

"Xu Xiake?"

Emperor Hongzhi and Du Mingen silently wrote down this name. It is a great pity in life that such a tall man cannot see each other.

"Then is this Golden Continent really full of gold?"

"Will it be very dangerous to go to the Golden Continent?"

"To be honest, after hearing what you said, I really want to go to this Golden Continent to take a look and take a walk."

Du Mingen thought for a while and asked again.

"I'm afraid there is still exaggeration in the gold everywhere, but I think there must be a lot of gold in this Golden Continent."

"As for whether going to the Golden Continent will be very dangerous, it depends on how you operate it. The Golden Continent is far away from our Ming Dynasty, and you need to take a boat to go there. No one can say for sure about the matters at sea."

"Mr. is a businessman. You should know that risks are directly proportional to benefits. The greater the risks, the higher the benefits. Among other things, if you can bring three high-yield crops from the Golden Continent to our Daming, Mr. Du will be remembered in history." name."

"What's more, we can verify many things that Xu Xiake, an expert, said one by one, especially about many things about our Ming Dynasty. astronomy and geography, summarizing the laws of nature contained in it.”

"So I guess that the descriptions of places such as the Golden Continent, Europe, Australia, and Africa should be pretty much the same. Since the Golden Continent is called the Golden Continent, there must be a lot of gold and it contains amazing wealth."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said slowly, without giving an affirmative answer, but expressing some doubts appropriately, so that the credibility is much higher.

"To be honest, I have a small fortune, and I really want to form a fleet to go to this Golden Continent."

Du Mingen pondered for a while, then seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi after thinking about it.

"I think Brother Zhu is also an extraordinary person. Mr. Liu is very familiar with the geography outside of Daming. How about the three of us form a caravan to go to the Golden Continent, and the gold obtained afterward will be divided equally between you and me?"

"Form a fleet to go to the Golden Continent?"

Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi looked at each other, slightly surprised. They didn't expect Du Mingen to be so decisive. Today, he just heard Liu Jin's words and wanted to form a fleet to go to the Golden Continent.
