"Mr. Richelieu welcomes you to Versailles." Lu Xiangsheng took the initiative to come forward to express his welcome.

After all, this place is now the Ming Dynasty. As a landlord, it is polite to take the initiative to welcome guests. It is worth mentioning that my Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette.

While Lu Xiangsheng was looking at Richelieu, Richelieu was also looking at Lu Xiangsheng.

I have to say that Lu Xiangsheng's face and figure are all unspeakable. He has fair skin, tall and powerful figure, and long arms. No matter how you look at it, he is a handsome guy.

Not only was he a handsome guy in Daming, but he was undoubtedly a handsome guy even according to Richelieu's aesthetic.

But Richelieu valued more than Lu Xiangsheng's face, he valued his age.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to become one of the highest officials in the Ming Dynasty at this age.

At least this person must have some special abilities, it is not easy to deal with anyway.

So in Richelieu's eyes, his attention to Lu Xiangsheng began to increase, which means that Richelieu would use more thoughts to treat Lu Xiangsheng.

After a few greetings, they took Richeliu to the main hall of the backyard of Zongli Yamen under the guidance of Lu Xiangsheng. They both took their seats with politeness to each other.

The backyard of Zongli Yamen built according to oriental architectural aesthetics is very different from that of Europa, Richey can't help but look at it.

You don't know, Richelieu really likes this architectural style that looks simple but has a special connotation. It looks very comfortable, unlike the decorations on your own, and the room is also darker.

After sitting down on both sides, Ikeda, a servant, walked over with a tray, placed the tea next to the two of them, and then stood respectfully beside him and prepared to serve him at any time.

"Please, please." Lu Xiangsheng took up the tea bowl and invited Richelieu to have tea.

Richez learned from Lu Xiangsheng how he picked up the tea bowl, then opened the lid and blew the dough gently, then smelled the refreshing aroma of tea, and took a sip.

Suddenly, Richelieu felt a hint of bitterness, and then it was filled with the fragrance of his mouth. He felt refreshed in his spirit. As the tea was swallowed, a hint of sweetness appeared in his mouth.

Good tea, this is indeed good tea.

Richelieu's eyes lit up slightly. It was not that he hadn't drunk tea, but he could not compare with the tea he drank today. As expected, the best tea leaves are still the people of the Ming Dynasty. The ones he drank before were not the best.

I have to say that Richelieu's mouth is still very sensible. Lu Xiangsheng's tea is extraordinary. It is a tribute from the palace. The top West Lake Longjing has a rare yield. When the year is good, it can only produce fifty or sixty kilograms at most. If the year is bad, it may not be able to produce ten kilograms.

Lu Xiangsheng was also because Zhu Youxiao liked to give things to his people to get one or two pounds, otherwise he would not have the chance to taste such high-end tea.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao had no chance before, but he could see the real good things after his trip to Jiangnan.

Richelieu, who likes the unique taste of tea, suddenly felt what it means to be a real good tea. He likes tea because it is like his life, first bitter and then slowly becomes sweet.

He encountered so much suffering in his early life, and it was not until now that he sat in this position that he tasted the benefits of power.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Richelieu, put down the tea bowl and asked, "Does Your Excellency Richelieu like this tea?"

"Well, this is indeed a good tea, the best I have ever drunk." Richelieu did not hide his meaning at all, which was very direct.

"Oh, that's a pity." Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said with a smile.

"What a pity? Why is it a pity? I should be lucky to have tasted such good tea." Richelieu was a little puzzled.

"It's a pity that I'm sorry that this tea is given by Your Majesty. The yield is extremely rare. Even in the palace, it's not enough for Your Majesty to drink it. You may not be able to drink it in the future." Lu Xiangsheng said as if he was joking.

Hehehe, I will give you a taste once, and I won’t give it to you anymore. I will be so greedy for you...

"That's a pity." Richelieu said a little sadly. He also wanted to ask how to buy such good tea, but now it seems that he can't buy it. It's the imperial court of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that this official Lu Xiangsheng has a high position in the emperor's heart. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would rather give it to him than to do it.

Richelieu and Lu Xiangsheng were chatting with each other, talking about some or nothing, and it looked like nonsense. But when they arrived at their position, there was no time to talk nonsense.

Seeing that they were chatting, they were actually inquiring about each other, their position and personality, and their right to speak.

Negotiation, negotiations are negotiated as soon as you come up? Don’t you have to test first?

Chat with each other, cultivate feelings first, test the bottom line, and then increase your confidence.

It was as if Lu Xiangsheng and Richelieu were chatting with each other just now. It seemed that there was no problem, but they had conducted several rounds of temptations between each other.

Richelieu already knew that Lu Xiangsheng had a strong position in the Ming Dynasty and should have the right to decide this alliance.

Lu Xiangsheng also heard that although this French prime minister had a little understanding of the Ming Dynasty, his understanding was very limited and he could not understand our Ming Dynasty. Then he would be able to fight for our Ming Dynasty more when the formal negotiations were formally negotiated.

This is the horror of a big man. You can find out your details by just talking casually, and most people really think that it is just a casual chat with you.

In the future, you should talk less when doing things with those people, and you should be more brainy before speaking. Don’t expose your bottom as soon as you open your mouth. Let them guess it yourself.

After the tentative nature passed, Richey knew it in his heart, so he began to prepare for formal negotiations.

"What do you think of Spain?" asked Richelieu.

Although Richelieu felt that the Ming people had no good feelings for Spain after analysis, and using interests as an attraction should allow the Ming people to join him, it still needs to be confirmed.

"Then you hope our Ming Dynasty will think of Spain." Lu Xiangsheng did not answer positively, but threw this question to Richelieu again.

Of course Lu Xiangsheng knew what Richelieu meant, but I just didn't say it, I wanted you to jump out by yourself.

At this time, there were only four people in the main hall. Richelieu brought a translator and Lu Xiangsheng also brought a translator.

So Richelieu didn't hide it anymore, we were just the two of us, so we agreed directly.

Translation...I'm not a human anyway...

Ikeda...I definitely not...
