    Weisman couldn¡¯t agree more with what Zhu Youxiao said, and he was extremely excited to do business with such a man who can be called the richest man in the world!

    But Weisman soon discovered that he was a little too excited, because Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands twice, and five eunuchs walked out of the winding path. The three in front were holding square boxes covered with red silk.  The two boxes at the back carry a square frame as tall as a person, which is also covered tightly with red silk!

    The five eunuchs walked to the pavilion and stood there. Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked out of the pavilion. He came to the first eunuch, uncovered the red silk, and threw it aside!

    Weisman did not look at what was covered under the red silk. Instead, he glanced at the falling red silk and thought to himself: "Oh God! Throwing away such exquisite silk and satin so casually is simply too extravagant.  !¡±

    "Weisman, what are you looking at?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but dumbfounded when he saw this despicable guy looking at a piece of red cloth!

    "Your great and rich Majesty, little man" Weisman was about to use disgusting flattery to resolve the embarrassment in front of him, but when his eyes fell on the box held by the eunuch, he was completely speechless.  !

    ??????????? Actually, there¡¯s nothing big in the box, just a dozen glass mirrors of different sizes and shapes. The largest of these glass mirrors is no more than the size of a palm, and the smaller ones are not much bigger than the rim of a goblet!

    However, these glass mirrors are all inlaid with gold, silver, ivory, and wood. Whether the inlays are precious or ordinary, they are carved with various patterns. It can be said that each of these glass mirrors is an exquisite work of art.  !

    "Oh God! What did you let me see? This is a glass mirror, the gold of those Venetians! But they appeared in the east, this is simply incredible!" Weisman held an ivory carving and slapped his hand.  The big glass mirror is muttering!

    But because Weisman was so excited, he spoke in Portuguese, so no one knew what he was talking about, but from his expression, everyone knew that this guy seemed to be going crazy!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at Weisman and thought to himself: "This guy is too fragile. If he is really stimulated and goes crazy, I will have to find another one, which will waste a lot of time!"

    Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked the other eunuchs to retreat. Then he picked up the glass mirror in Weisman's hand and said, "These are just gadgets in the Ming Empire, but in Europe they are  Priceless treasures, if you can bring these things to Europe, I believe you will become a distinguished guest of all the royal families in Europe!"

    "Your great and rich Majesty! You are the angel sent by God No you are God, you are the savior. Weisman is willing to be your most loyal servant. If you have any orders, just give them to your servants!  "Weisman tremblingly stood in front of Zhu Youxiao and kissed Zhu Youxiao's boots!

    "Okay! Get up! You only have one God, and that is gold! If you want to get your God, go find me Western scholars and craftsmen, especially shipwrights with superb craftsmanship. Every time you find one, I will  I'll give you a small mirror like this. I think as long as you can own ten small mirrors like this, you can become a rich man without going back to Europe. And the silver you get is enough for you to prepare a ship of exquisite porcelain, glassware, and silk.  , how much wealth do you think you can get by transporting these things back to Europe?" Zhu Youxiao moved his feet and said in a seductive tone!

    Weisman once again fell into crazy fantasies. In his imagination, he drove a large ship loaded with porcelain, silk, tea, and glass mirrors, and rode the wind and waves back to Europe.

    After his ship docked, countless people came to him holding gold coins high, countless beautiful girls winked at him, and all European royal families sent him invitations!

    In short, Weisman became the darling of the whole of Europe for a while. Those high-ranking big shots were proud to know him, and those who once looked down on him and laughed at him now only deserve to lick his boots!

    No wonder Weisman had such a crazy idea. Twenty years ago, in 1600, when French King Henry IV and Queen Marie Medici got married, Venice gave Queen Marie a glass mirror worth fifteen dollars.  Ten thousand livres is equivalent to twelve thousand five hundred gold louis!

    That is a considerable fortune. Although as the Venetian glass mirror technology continues to mature, the production of glass mirrors has also continued to increase, but it is undeniable that glass mirrors were still the top luxury goods in Europe at that time!

    Its preciousness is comparable to that of Oriental silk and porcelain, and it is also the most precious handmade product in Europe. This has allowed the Venetians to earn countless millions.Wealthy, it can be said that just because of a small glass mirror, the whole of Europe is jealous of Venice!

    But the Venetians are very smart. They know the preciousness of glass mirrors, and they know that making glass mirrors is actually very simple, so they hide the production technology very well. They even locked the glass mirror craftsmen on an island so that no one can peek into the glass.  The craftsmanship of mirror making!

    If Weisman can find another glass mirror supplier, then countless wealth will naturally flow into his pocket, not to mention that this new supplier also holds three other luxury goods that are popular in Europe!

    "Huh!" Weisman finally woke up from his imagination, because he realized that this opportunity did not actually belong to him!

    The reason is very simple. Weisman is just a down-and-out businessman. It was a complete coincidence that he met Zhu Youxiao. Those really big businessmen were busy doing business with the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants, and no one wanted to travel thousands of miles away.  Come to Beijing!

    But if those bloodthirsty sharks know that there is a glass mirror in Beijing, they will not hesitate to drive a sea ship to the north and exchange the mountains of silver in their hands for those shiny little things!

    "No! I absolutely can't let this happen. This trade route is mine, and it can only be mine. I don't allow anyone to get involved!" Weisman was secretly angry in his heart, and even his eyes had already closed.  A look like a hungry wolf!

    "The great and rich master, your humblest servant Weisman, will bring you the best scholars and the most capable craftsmen!" Weisman lay in front of Zhu Youxiao and shouted loudly, as if only his voice was enough  Only in this way can he show his sincerity!

    "You are a bastard who would sell God for gold!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "But I think you can handle these things for me, so I appointed you as the second shopkeeper of the Royal Commercial Bank of the Ming Empire, responsible for the Royal Commercial Bank  In European trade, your boss is called Wang Shitou. You can go see him in these two days and act according to his requirements. Then you will set out with Li Jinzhong with endless wealth to exchange for everything I want.  , I will be waiting for your good news here!"

    "Yes! Great and rich master, your most loyal servant will fulfill your orders!" Weisman kowtowed respectfully, and then left quickly!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at Weisman's back and said to Li Jinzhong: "This is an absolutely shameless guy, so you have to keep an eye on him. If he dares to cheat, just throw him into the sea!"

    Li Jinzhong bowed and said, "I obey my command!"

    Old Wang An asked at this time: "Master, do you need to send someone to watch the missionary?"

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "That is a pious man. All he wants to do is preach, so there is no need to keep an eye on him too closely!"

    Old Wang An bowed and said: "I obey the order!"

    You don¡¯t need to keep an eye on it too closely, but you still have to keep an eye on it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
