There was a look of astonishment on Yang Ding's face, and he paused before saying: "How could it be such a coincidence? Wenjun is also sent by Xianzuilou this year, and I just came back from Wenjun today. Brother Gongsun, the palms and backs of these hands are all covered with

Meat, it seems I am always going to offend someone this time!"

Gongsun Yi said with a smile: "If it's Miss Wenjun, just pretend that I didn't say this. Don't let Brother Yang appear to have agreed on the surface, but actually he will complain to me in his heart!"

Yang Ding let out a laugh and said: "Well, Gongsun Yi, you are trying to accuse me of being heterosexual and inhumane in a different way. But with your ability, Gongsun Yi, it is not a problem to help Miss Su become an oiran."

"Brother Gongsun, what do you think of this? I'll help Wenjun, and you help Jian Jian. On the surface, they are competing for the oiran, but in fact they are asking Brother Gongsun for advice. How about it?"

Gongsun Yi smiled and said: "You are provoking me. I have already figured out your crooked tricks. Your tricks may work for others, but they don't work for me!"

Yang Ding said: "Who said I can only use crooked tricks? I might as well tell you the truth, when I become serious, I even scare myself!"

Time passed and it was already the third day. When Yang returned to Honglu Temple in the morning, he received a report from his subordinates that several Ottoman envoys wanted to see him.

Yang Ding sent someone to bring Anthony and others in. These Ottomans came to see him this time and brought a lot of things with them.

"Mr. Anthony, what are you doing? You don't want to give gifts here, do you?" Yang Ding looked at the dozen boxes on the ground and couldn't help but twitched his mouth and asked.

"Oh, dear Mr. Yang, we Ottomans don't understand what giving gifts is. These things are some samples that we want to pay tribute to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. We don't know what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty likes, so we want to ask Mr. Yang for help first.

Let’s screen it so that we don’t conflict with the emperor of the previous country because of the cultural differences between the two countries!”

Yang Ding smiled in his heart. Sure enough, these Ottomans were frightened by his two cannons. These foreigners are robbers when they are stronger than you, and they are courtiers when they are not as strong as you. In their bones

, there is no such word as "harmony is the most precious".

Yang Ding thought for a while and said: "That's okay. What are the things you want to pay tribute to the emperor this time? Why don't you take them out and let me take a look first!"

Anthony waved his hands behind him, and then two people took out a long roll of carpet and unfolded it in Yang Ding's house.

"Master Yang, this is a very exotic Arabian palace carpet. It is the best-selling product in our Ottoman Empire. This carpet is made of wool. It is comfortable and soft to step on. I think the emperor of your country will like it.

of!"

Yang Ding nodded. Turkish carpets are famous even in later generations, and the value of such carpets is naturally high. It seems that Anthony is very reliable in doing things!

Yang Ding said: "This gift is very good. I think the emperor will be very happy when I see it. Mr. Anthony, is there anything else?"

Anthony then took a wooden tray covered with red silk from behind. Then Anthony removed the cover, revealing a set of gorgeous and somewhat weird clothes. Yang Ding only glanced at it and took a sip of tea.

He squirted out and cursed secretly in his mind. He just said that Anthony was very reliable in doing things, but he didn't expect that he would do something like this next.

Kinky clothes!

There is a complete set of clothes on the wooden tray, starting from the long wavy wig, there is an exaggeratedly colorful top, a short skirt, a pair of white stockings and a pair of high heels that are a bit too long.

Big leather shoes with pointed toes, damn, this is a real show of weird makeup. If he offered such a strange outfit as a tribute, Emperor Jingtai wouldn't chop off his head on the spot.

"Mr. Yang, this wig is the most popular style in our Europa. These white stockings have only become popular in our Europa in recent decades. The purpose is to cover the leg hair in the summer, which is cool and beautiful. As for these

Leather shoes? Once you put them on, they will immediately make a man taller and more powerful. It can be said that this outfit is the most popular luxury aristocratic outfit in Europe. Consider this my personal gift to the emperor of your country!" Anthony

He didn't seem to notice Yang Ding's shocked face, which was almost distorted, and he still said to himself.

Yang Ding took a breath, and then said in English that only he and Anthony could understand: "I'm telling you, you old pervert, our Ming Dynasty and you Europeans have different structures. Most of us don't have chest hair.

, the leg hair is even less thick, we don’t need such perverted things!”

Yang Ding was so angry that he said several uncivilized words in succession. Fortunately, Anthony had only been in the capital for a few days, and he was under the supervision of these Ottomans, so he greeted them with a smile.

I accepted all the curse words as words of praise for myself.

Anthony asked for trouble and said: "Why doesn't Mr. Yang like it? These clothes are made of the best materials in Europe. I only have this set. If Mr. Yang doesn't like it, then I will take it back."

Get dressed yourself!"

"Wait!" Yang Ding suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and said.

Anthony was obviously mistaken, so he chuckled and said, "I knew Mr. Yang would like it, but I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be so humorous. I almost believed it!"

Humor, your grandma is so big, Yang Ding despised Anthony a thousand times in his heart and then said: "Mr. Anthony, keep this wig, short skirt and a pair of black stockings for me, and quickly take the rest of the fancy stockings and burn them."

Now, don't let me see it. As for this upper body, I need you to change it, make it smaller, and then send it to my house. I want this dress!"

Yang Ding thought that if Yue Ya could put on this outfit, it would be very modern, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Although this outfit looks very perverted on a man, if it were changed and matched well, a woman would

It still looks very sexy when worn.

Fortunately, what Anthony brought out after that was no longer so shocking, otherwise Yang Ding would have thought that Anthony, an old boy, was secretly teasing him.

It wasn't until the end when Anthony took out a box of strange brown-black beans that Yang Ding's eyes showed a strange light again!

"Master Yang, this kind of bean is called Kwawa, and it is also something that has been spread in the Ottomans recently. This Kwawa has the unique effects of refreshing, refreshing, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body, and stopping bleeding. I believe that you in the Ming Dynasty do not have it. As the saying goes,

Things are rare and valuable, I hope the emperor will like it!"

Yang Ding's hands were trembling because of nervousness, so he grabbed a handful of kwawa and put it under his nose and smelled it. These kwawa only had a faint fruity aroma. Yang Ding knew that they had not been roasted.

The reason was that there was no fragrance that he would be familiar with in later generations. Yang Ding tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and asked: "Mr. Anthony, how many of these kuavas do you have?"

Anthony said: "It's only a dozen kilograms, because these qawas were spread from Arab countries to the Ottomans, and we packed some because they were rare."

Yang Ding said: "Mr. Anthony, I want these praises!"

Anthony said without thinking: "Since Mr. Yang likes it, I will give these praises to Mr. Yang!"

On the second day of the court meeting, when Anthony handed over a very praising memorial and a thick list of tributes, Emperor Jingtai finally smiled after a long absence on his face. That afternoon, Mr. Zhou, the minister of Honglu Temple

Yang Ding personally held a banquet to accompany him, which can be regarded as a state banquet.

After the banquet, Yang Ding went straight to Yang Yan's home. Yang Ding explained his plan to Yang Yan in detail. Yang Yan asked with some surprise: "Second brother, do you want to buy the raw materials for making gunpowder and then put it in the god's house?"

Re-prepared in the aircraft camp?"

Yang Ding said: "Yes, brother, do you think this is feasible?"

Yang Yan frowned slightly and said: "It is feasible, but there is one thing, second brother, have you ever thought about it, if we prepare the gunpowder ourselves, how can we ensure safety?"

Yang Dingdao: "Brother is absolutely right. I came here this time to talk to him about this. Firearms are made by the Ministry of Industry and dismantled by the Ministry of War. What we want to make this time is not firearms but gunpowder, so we made

The difficulty will be greatly reduced. My eldest brother has been in the military for many years and must have some connections, so this time I have to trouble my eldest brother to use his connections, even if it means spending some money to hire some craftsmen who are proficient in gunpowder."

Yang Yan nodded and said: "If the second brother plans to hire professional craftsmen to do this, I can find a warehouse to place these materials. By the way, the second brother, Governor Yang has long expected that the second brother will never come from the emperor or the workers."

The army could not get gunpowder, so Governor Yang allocated another two thousand taels of military expenses to me. Governor Yang had long expected that my second brother would take this step!"

Yang Ding was stunned and asked: "Brother, did you also expect this?"

Yang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, when I reported my second brother's plan to Governor Yang, Governor Yang agreed happily. Who knew that Governor Yang suddenly asked me for the two thousand kilograms of gunpowder that I had consumed afterwards, so I

So I dragged my second brother into the water. As for the two thousand taels of military expenses, Governor Yang gave it yesterday. To be honest, I was a little confused at the time. It wasn’t until today, my second brother, that you came to me to talk about this. I figured it out.

about this matter."

Yang Ding said: "Brother, I want to meet Governor Yang. I wonder if eldest brother can make arrangements?"

Yang Yan frowned slightly and said: "Second brother, you and I are brothers, and we are one body. I think if Governor Yang doesn't come to us, we'd better not go to see him. Some things can only be understood, and we can only understand them."

I understand, but now is not the right time to meet!"

Yang Ding nodded. What Yang Yan said was that he was a little too anxious just now. At this moment, Yang Ding suddenly remembered what Xiao Weiyin said to him. If he wanted to become an official in the capital, she would definitely help him with all his strength.

, By now, Yang Ding has been almost certain that Yang Neng is Xiao Weiyin's hidden trump card in the capital and is his biggest helper.

"Brother, there is another thing that needs to be done by me!"
