Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan listened with great interest, but when he saw Brad speaking so hard, Ning Fan couldn't help it, and spouted out fluent English, which immediately made Brad's eyes widen.

"Sir, you understand our language."

Brad was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked at the handsome Ning Fan in front of him and wondered why this young man could understand the language of his hometown.

Naturally, Ning Fan couldn't explain the reason. He just said that he had met a missionary before and learned these languages ​​​​from that missionary. Only in this way did Brad's doubts be dispelled.

The language communication barrier was eliminated, and the discussion between the two became more in-depth and smoother. Besides religion, Ning Fan was most interested in overseas human geography, political economy, etc.

Through Brad's dictation, Ning Fan also learned that many civilized countries overseas are in the Renaissance period.

The Industrial Revolution has not yet occurred, and most overseas countries are in a state of small-scale peasant economy. Many places still have castles and are under the leadership of lords.

"Although my hometown is very good, it has been war-torn all year round. A war has lasted for almost a hundred years. Several generations of young people have died. There are fewer and fewer people. The entire country is almost wiped out. For To escape from the war, I traveled by sea to spread the Lord’s teachings, hoping that the Lord would bless me safely.”

While crossing himself, Brad explained to Ning Fan the real reason why he came to preach overseas.

Ning Fan actually thinks that Brad is very interesting, especially because he is very familiar with the humanities, geography and history of overseas countries. If he keeps such a person by his side, it will be very helpful for Ning Fan to be familiar with the structure outside the framework of this world. Effectual.

"Mr. Brad, are you interested in staying in Dakang? If you are willing to stay, it will be better than wandering around."

Ning Fan smiled and extended an invitation to Brad.

Of course, Brad didn't know who Ning Fan was. He judged from Ning Fan's conversation and behavior that Ning Fan should belong to the upper-middle class in Dakang. He even suspected that you should be the son of a wealthy businessman, but Brad But he didn't think that Ning Fan would bring any changes to his current situation.

So when he heard Ning Fan extending the invitation to him, Brad just hesitated for a moment and immediately rejected it.

"Mr. Ning, thank you very much for your recognition of me. It's just that I am a bird without feet. I am used to wandering around. I am used to walking around, meeting more people and discovering more new things."

Brad smiled, and there was a bit of vicissitudes in that smile.

In fact, although this Brad has a big beard and eyebrows and looks like a middle-aged uncle, in fact, through the conversation just now, Ning Fan discovered that this Brad is actually only in his early thirties and is a veritable young man.

"Mr. Brad, you must be traveling around at your own expense. I have a good suggestion. You can follow our Dakang team to travel around. You will have food and accommodation on the boat. Everywhere you go, you can Free access to the country’s ports.”

Ning Fan suddenly had a new idea. This Brad was proficient in the languages ​​​​of various countries and was a veritable expert on all nations. If such a person was allowed to be a guide in Dakang's team, it would be very difficult for Qin Ying's next voyage. , will be of great help.

Moreover, Ning Fan also has a bold idea, that is, to let Brad search for elites from all walks of life around the world, such as some famous craftsmen, various scientists, etc., and bring these All the top talents have been recruited to Dakang, making Dakang a veritable prosperous age.

"How can you have the final say over Dakang's fleet? As far as I know, this fleet belongs to your Dakang court. I'm afraid only the emperor can have such rights."

After hearing what Ning Fan said, Brad shook his head. He didn't believe what Ning Fan said at all. He only thought that Ning Fan was a young man who loved to talk big.

"Mr. Brad, everything I said is true. I am the emperor of Dakang."

Ning Fan looked at Brad with a smile.

Brad was surprised at first, and then laughed. He shook his head, looked at Ning Fan and said with a smile: "Young man, you are so naughty, but don't make such jokes casually. If others hear it, it will be very harmful to you." It’s going to be a big disaster for you.”

After saying these words, Brad turned around and left. Ning Fan did not stop him. Brad should not leave the port in a short time. He would have to wander around again for at least a few days, so there are still encounters in the future. Ning Fan was not in a hurry when Brad got the chance.

"Your Majesty, this barbarian cannot communicate at all. Not only is he arrogant, he also doesn't understand etiquette at all. Why should your Majesty pay attention to him?"

The few royal guards beside them couldn't stand it anymore. In their opinion, it was a great gift for His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang to say a few words to these barbarians, but they didn't expect these barbarians. The fact that they were not given any face really made these Jinyi guards so angry that they even wanted to draw their swords several times and kill Brad on the spot.

Ning Fan just smiled and didn't explain much. Luo Cheng came back from the market in the evening. After a busy day, he finally investigated the matter clearly.

"Your Majesty, the woman's name is Xue Qingqing. She was originally a descendant of the Xue family, a wealthy family in the Guan area. However, after the Xue family was attacked by Your Majesty, they lost all their original property, and the Xue family gradually disappeared!"

"This Xue Qingqing is seventeen years old this year and is not married yet. I just heard that the Xue family and the Wang family have an engagement and they are in contact. This is based on my observation. Xue Qingqing does not seem to be interested in Wang Junyang! "

Luo Cheng knew that Ning Fan's main focus was still on Xue Qingqing, so he directly explained all Xue Qingqing's problems at once.

Hearing that Xue Qingqing and Wang Junyang had nothing to do with each other, Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief and felt an inexplicable secret of joy in his heart.

"Who is Wang Junyang? Is he the young man who had a conflict with Zhen that day?"

Ning Fan had already guessed that the young man standing next to Xue Qingqing should be Wang Junyang, a direct descendant of the Wang family.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the man who had a conflict with Your Majesty that day is named Wang Junyang. He is the young master of the Wang family, a wealthy family in Guanzhong. The Wang family itself is a wealthy family in Guanzhong, with a scholarly family. They have been officials in all dynasties, but Your Majesty initially attacked the family members. After that, the Wang family’s actions became more and more strange.”
