The king's funeral took place the next day.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a 'tsunami' in this port city.
Zheng Hui and others watched silently with a little disappointment, because the whole country was in mourning and they couldn't have any fun.
The whole city was talking about it and many shops were even closed. It seemed that the newly deceased king was still very popular among the people.
He should be a capable person. If he had established diplomatic relations with Dajing, it should have been much smoother. It's a pity that he was tortured to death by his own ignorance.
Since the day she left the palace, Kalemi explained the whole process with fear and worry.
The influence of religion on Feika was so strong that it exceeded the knowledge of Zheng Hui and Lai Gou'er.
Almost all the people are religious, and not only that, they also perform various rituals such as prayers frequently.
Even the most luxurious buildings in the city are churches.
After living in the city for five days, Duke Alvis sent someone to inform Zheng Hui to enter the palace to report his story.
Guessing that the king's funeral was over, Zheng Hui set off with people and goods.
After arriving at the palace, we followed the waiter's instructions to a new and spacious room, which, judging by its decoration style, seemed to be an office location.
The house was covered with a red carpet with intricate patterns and there were only some simple decorations in the room. The most eye-catching thing was the huge office desk in the room.
Behind the table was a child who looked only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a large crown crookedly.
After seeing Zheng Hui and others, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Duke Alvis stood beside the table and bowed slightly to introduce: "Sir Zheng, this is the new King of Feika."
"Your Majesty may be young, but he can preside over the ceremony. You can talk to your Majesty about anything."
Zheng Hui looked at the little king, bowed slightly and performed a Western salute.
This is a little brat. It seems I need to discuss this with Duke Alvis and keep it as brief as possible.
"This visit to your country is not about anything important, it is just to establish friendship and lay the foundation for future exchanges between the two countries."
"I also brought some special products from Dajing this time. I hope your country will accept them."
After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he waved his hand and the navy soldiers who came with him opened the boxes they brought.
Revealing the neatly stacked porcelain, silk, tea and other items inside.
The waiter in the hall came forward and placed the items in the box on the table one by one.
The little king showed curiosity and wanted to reach out to play with it, until Duke Alvis coughed lightly and then he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Looking at the jade-white porcelain, it is covered with exotic pictures.
Duke Alvis couldn't help but show a hint of shock in his eyes.
He touched the extremely smooth silk again and exclaimed: "Is this a specialty of the East? It is indeed extremely exquisite. I wonder how many of these things you brought this time?"
The more Duke Alvis watched, the happier he became.
He received elite education since childhood, so his aesthetic taste is naturally at a very high level.
Although these things are foreign products now, their elegant temperament and exquisite feeling will definitely sell well in other countries.
If we can establish a stable business relationship with them, the income... you can imagine!
But the archbishop has ordered that the blasphemous sailor must be killed.
Killing him and giving him enough compensation should be able to quell the other party's dissatisfaction, but there is only one translator, how can we communicate now that he is dead?
It's a bit difficult...
Zheng Hui said: "These things are all special products of Dajing, and are deeply loved by the people of Dajing. Because our fleet has passed through countless countries, most of these treasures have been given to them as gifts."
"I came to Feika today, and this is the only stock left. But I think since Dajing and Feika have established a connection, the exchanges will be frequent in the future, and Dajing's goods will also be able to enter Feika's market through sea routes."
Duke Alvis was delighted and said, "Good, good! Since your country has sent gifts, our country cannot lose its courtesy. Your Majesty has also prepared a generous gift for the envoy..."
...
An hour later, the two sides had a pleasant conversation.
Although there are huge cultural differences and many conflicting concepts, both sides have maintained restraint.
Kalemi's throat was about to smoke.
Duke Alvis looked at him from time to time, feeling extremely conflicted.
If he was killed, it would be too late to train a temporary translator! But he didn't want to give up the huge profits in the future!
These fools from the East obviously haven't realized what kind of influence their property will have in the aristocratic circle.
I learned from the conversation just now that these Oriental people will return home after they decide to reach Feka.
Right now, he is the first person to come into contact with Orientals. He must find a way to make good use of this opportunity. Otherwise...send a few more little boys to the archbishop?
Damn, I just delivered it last month, and now it’s hard to get the supply...
Just as I was struggling, Lai Gouer suddenly spoke.
“I wonder if I can borrow some of your country’s book collections?”
Duke Alvis was stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with ecstasy: "You also understand my Feika language?"
"I understand a little, a little." Lai Gou'er said with a smile.
This foreigner is quite sensible. It seems that this trip is very smooth. I will get some foreign books to study before returning home.
Duke Alvis' chest rose and fell slightly, suppressing his joy: "Of course, Your Excellency can borrow any book you want, just mention it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Duke. I have one thing to ask. Has the Duke ever heard of our Dajing, no, traces of Oriental people's activities here? And has the Duke ever heard of the country of Sangak?"
