Red House Shoufu

Chapter 234

Lin Shu quickly said a few more words of his own opinion, and Wei Qinghe decided his main work for the second half of the year with a smile.

The Imperial Academy is free, and the East Palace only needs to be visited once every three days. There is no major event on the cabinet side and Lin Shu, a temporarily appointed cabinet, is busy. Wei Qinghe is going to send Lin Shu to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It's reasonable for Zhan Shi, the head of Zhan Shi's house who is the fourth grade, to take the title of doctor of the fifth grade, and go to the household department to lead the promotion of potato planting!
"Elder Ge, I already have a lot of posts on my subordinates..."

"Not too much, not too much, those who can do more work, this old man is also following His Majesty's will, to train you a lot. How about this, this old man will find some experienced helpers for you, and I will go to the household department to help you in a few days."

With a wave of Wei Qinghe's hand, the rotation time of Lin Shu's six departments was directly advanced by more than half a year.Lin Shu could only bow down and promise, and began to make a draft in his heart, preparing to find a few suitable people to do this great event that could change the world.

After Lin Shu sent Wei Qinghe back to his residence, he didn't go home immediately, but went leisurely to Nanhufang City.

Marco van Basten is back. Lin Shu is not in the capital these days, so he often goes to the Lin Mansion to inquire about Lin Shu's itinerary.

He dismantled the cannons on the ship from Guangzhou, leased the official ship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was guarded by embroidery guards. After a month's journey, he returned to the capital from Guangzhou.

The artillery had been secretly sent to the most secret firearms workshop of the Imperial Army by the Embroidered Guards. Marco van Basten received a large amount of gold, silver, silk and silk as a reward, and even met the fifth son of the emperor, Gao Wanxuan.

"Oh God, my friend, you're back at last!"

Just as Lin Shu walked into the Western Treasures Hall, Marco van Basten gave him a hug.

"Sorry, Basten, His Majesty sent me to Henan suddenly before, and I couldn't wait for you to return to Beijing. You must come to have a banquet at home some other day. You will definitely like the real food of the East!"

Lin Shu hugged each other back, and after they sat down, the waiter brought the brewed coffee.

Marco van Basten proudly pointed to the tribute silk robe on his body, and said to Lin Shu: "The great emperor sent an internal officer to tell me that Basten is a true warrior. Give me an official position in the Great Chu Dynasty, and allow me to live in the territory of Great Chu for a long time. And give me a noble oriental name, my friend, please call me Ma Fanteng in the future!"

Another western adventurer who was conquered by Eastern civilization, Marco... Ma Fanteng began to talk to Lin Shu about his experiences these days. Exchange of the Netherlands Republic.

Of course, he was also responsible for telling the five sons about the politics, culture, economy, history, knowledge and other aspects of the Western countries. In addition, he collected all kinds of books from the Western countries and hired someone to translate them.

It seems that after the great geographical discovery, the emperor's field of vision has been set on that crude world map.

The current emperor himself has a heart to expand the territory for future generations. It is estimated that the appearance of Ma Fanteng just became the spark that ignited this fire.

"Da Chu is good at everything, but His Royal Highness is really giving me a headache. My God, why does His Royal Highness have to learn so much knowledge? He has too many questions, and they seem to be sprinkled by the god of wisdom." The light of wisdom only shines on him, and in one month, in just one month, he has learned all the knowledge in my mind."

Ma Fanteng chattered to Lin Shu about what happened these days, he was confident that he was smart enough, but after meeting Gao Wanxuan, this light of confidence gradually dimmed.

Gao Wanxuan squeezed out the Western knowledge in Ma Fanteng's mind in a very short time, and then followed him to learn Dutch and French.

How does it feel to have a student who is extremely bright and has a lot of questions?Just from the cabinet assistants who hid from Gao Wanxuan and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy, you know.

After Lin Shu finished drinking two cups of coffee, Ma Fanteng finally stopped complaining.

Lin Shu suppressed a smile and said to him: "Although His Royal Highness is honorable, he has the unique qualities of the descendants of Yan and Huang, that is, he is diligent and inquisitive. Basten..."

"Please call me Ma Fanteng!"

"Okay, Brother Ma. His Royal Highness is diligent and inquisitive. Brother Ma has a strange experience of sailing thousands of miles, so he naturally flocks to it...that is, he is very curious."

Lin Shu took a sip of coffee and said to Ma Fanteng: "With His Royal Highness as the middleman, you will definitely be able to meet His Majesty and His Royal Highness in the near future. Now you not only have the official position of Da Chu, but also have a formal identity , the business in Dachu will grow bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, you will return to your hometown...that is, return to your motherland with a huge amount of wealth, so that Basten's surname will truly become a legend in the Netherlands and even the continent of Europe!"

Ma Fanteng nodded first, then shook his head and said: "What are you going back for? I want to stay in the east, in Dachu. I am a native of Chu now, and I will take my fiancée over. Europa is still ridiculously arresting witches." , that land is full of ignorance. Only the East, only the East is the real paradise!"

Lin Shu didn't know what Ma Fanteng had been through these days. The last time he met, his dream was to make enough money in the Central Plains Dynasty, and then return to the Netherlands to carry forward the Basten family.

So today he became a loyal supporter of oriental legend?
Ma Fanteng didn't continue talking about this, but instead changed the topic to the Four Books and Five Classics.When he told Lin Shu about going to Honglu Temple, he was very envious when he heard other officials speak well.

And after careful observation during these days, Ma Fanteng found that the people in this land have an extraordinary enthusiasm for reading.The imperial examination system of Dachu is also a great invention.

Compared with the backward system of Europa, using knowledge to measure whether a person can become an official is simply the fairest system.

Although he was given an official position by the emperor, Ma Fanteng still felt that he should study the great Four Books and Five Classics so that he could integrate into his colleagues and become a real official of Great Chu.

Lin Shu couldn't help complaining about Ma Fanteng's stubbornness, but also admired his studious and intelligence.Since he has the mind to fully integrate into Da Chu, and his appearance cannot be changed, it will be easier to get the approval of the people around him by studying Confucian classics and learning Han etiquette.

Lin Shu and Ma Fanteng made an appointment to go to the Lin Mansion for a banquet, took the gifts he gave to himself and the Lin family, and leisurely boarded the carriage and went home.

It was just when the sun was setting, and Daiyu had already had dinner prepared and was waiting for Lin Shu to come back.

After the brothers and sisters had a simple meal, Lin Shu led Daiyu for a walk in the garden to digest food. The kitten Bai Jingjing followed Daiyu's feet, pawing at the surrounding flowers and plants from time to time.

"Brother, I heard Uncle tell Brother Huan today that they plan to move back to the palace in a few days."
