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

"Luo Cheng, what do you think the use of this large area of ​​Xiongnu we have conquered will be in the future?"

Ning Fan pointed at the vast grassland on the map that originally belonged to the Xiongnu, and asked Luo Cheng a profound topic.

Although Luo Cheng was just a military commander, he also studied regularly and was quite interested in political affairs. When Ning Fan asked this question, Luo Cheng was stunned.

"After the Huns left, the large grasslands left behind must still be used for grazing. After all, this vast grassland cannot be used to grow food. Even if it is forcibly reclaimed, the gains will not be worth the losses."

"As for how to use this in the future, I can only imagine it. I am stupid and can't think of it at all."

Luo Cheng's answer was quite satisfactory.

Although Ning Fan did not get the answer he wanted, he still pointed to the vast land on the map and said: "Our Dakang industry will develop in the future, but people still need to eat. Some Han people from the mainland can be moved out. Grazing on the grassland.”

Ning Fan thought for a while and said this.

The discussion between the two was brief. After all, Ning Fan didn't insist on Luo Cheng giving useful opinions. After all, he had specialization in the art, and Luo Cheng only needed to take care of the Jinyi Guards guarding aspect.

If Luo Cheng is allowed to participate too much in political affairs, over time, he may breed ambition, which is not good.

The next morning, Ning Fan came to the port again with nothing to do, but this time Ning Fan had a purpose. He asked people to find the missionary Brad.

"Mr. Brad, I think we need to talk more in depth."

Ning Fan was wearing a military uniform and smiled at Brad. Seeing Ning Fan's clothes, Brad knew that Ning Fan's identity was unusual, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Mr. Ning, I noticed yesterday that you have an extraordinary temperament and that you are either rich or noble. I didn't expect that your status is really so noble."

Brad is also a master of finding opportunities, and is not so aloof. Although he believes in Jesus God, he is also very humorous.

Ning Fan pulled Brad to Qiandeng Town without any explanation. Several guards in golden uniforms guarded the door of the surrounding boxes, while Ning Fan asked the waiter to bring all the good wine and food.

This Brad has been sleeping rough all the way. It can be seen that the food is definitely not that good, and he is almost reduced to begging.

This time, seeing Ning Fan treating himself to a meal with such great generosity, Bulat was moved but also somewhat expectant.

"Mr. Ning, I am just a missionary, but I can't do much for you. If you invite me to dinner, are you asking me to do something for you?"

Brad was very cautious and cautious. He looked at Ning Fan cautiously, for fear that Ning Fan would make him do something embarrassing.

"Mr. Brad, I have said before that it is your dream to have you travel around the country with Dakang's team. As for spreading the teachings, you can also do it by the way, and be a little more consistent with your ideals. There’s no conflict.”

Ning Fan said.

"The Dakang fleet is extremely majestic. It is the most powerful fleet in the world today. If we can really board the Dakang fleet, we will really be thankful."

Brad looked fascinated, but then he turned to Ning Fan and said, "But it shouldn't be that simple to board the fleet. After all, this is the fleet organized by Emperor Dakang, and I am just a missionary. I couldn’t talk to those officials at all.”

Ning Fan took out the jade medal from his waist and gave it to Brad. Brad just glanced at it and showed a blank look on his face, because he didn't recognize the emperor's waist medal at all, and he didn't know. What does Ning Fan do?

He only felt that Ning Fan's identity and waistband looked very exquisite and noble, but he just couldn't guess Ning Fan's true identity.

"Mr. Brad, my name is Ning Fan, and the emperor of Dakang is also named Ning Fan. Do you think there is any difference between them?"

Ning Fan looked at Brad with a smile.

In fact, Ning Fan had asked Luo Cheng to secretly investigate Brad yesterday. According to the results of Luo Cheng's investigation, although Brad was poor, he did not do anything sneaky. Instead, he was gentle and polite to others.

Others reported that Brad was very knowledgeable and knew everything about astronomy and geography, especially some of the new technologies currently being developed by Dakang.

That's why Ning Fan is convinced that Brad is a talent. If I can use this Brad, he will definitely contribute to the development of Dakang in the future.

"Are you the Emperor of Dakang?"

Brad's face looked blank and then shocked.

When he saw Ning Fan nodding, Brad stood up in shock. He half-knelt on the ground and performed a unique courtesy towards Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Dakang, I was born in France and was personally named Viscount by Philo II of the Kingdom of France!"

Brad said proudly.

Ning Fan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Brad was not only from France, but also a viscount. The position of this viscount was neither high nor low, and he could be considered an official.

It seems that although Brad is dressed rather shabbily, he is also a noble.

Next, the waiter brought all kinds of delicious dishes to the table. Although Brad was very greedy, he was very polite while eating and did not gobble it up.

After the two had a conversation, Ning Fan got to know Brad better.

This Brad can be said to be young and has many friends. Although he is only in his early thirties, he has been to more than a hundred countries and even visited some primitive tribes. The stories he has experienced are enough to compile a fantasy novel. Storybook.

"Sir Brad, I have two books here that you can take a look at. They can also be used to kill time in your spare time."

Ning Fan handed Brad the two books he had written, and after Brad opened them and read them, he was slightly surprised because the storylines were indeed fascinating.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this first novel is called Lu Zhishen's Wanderings. Was it written by you?"

Brad looked at Ning Fan in surprise.

In his inherent concept, nobles are incompetent and stupid. Nobles do not write novels at all, let alone study literature.

In Brad's mind, Dakang is the most powerful first-class country in the world, and the emperor of Dakang is definitely the most powerful person in the world, but this is the most powerful man. , but wrote two completely unrelated novels, which really surprised Brad.
