After all, the Chilava family had a few encounters, and talents like him were also accessible and not to be sought. So Father John only recruited a senior talent like him. Although other craftsmen also had expertise in various aspects, they were with Chila.

The tile is much worse, but that doesn't matter. What Zhou Chong needs most is shipbuilding. After years of sea bans in the Ming Dynasty, shipbuilding technology has declined a lot. No one can build Zheng He's treasure ship at that time.

It can absorb European shipbuilding technology and hopes to make the shipbuilding industry of Ming Dynasty vital.

Although Father John did not know Zhou Chong's painstaking efforts, he knew that Zhou Chong attached great importance to the talents in shipbuilding, so he also took great care of the Chilava family. Not only did he help the other party escape, but he also offered generous rewards.

Only then did the Chilava family finally lead to the Ming Dynasty.

Chirava stood on the bow of the boat and chatted for a while. When he learned that he would be able to reach their final destination, which was the place called Shuangyu Port, Chirava felt a little in his heart.

Excited, but also a little nervous, wondering if my family can live in this strange country?

With a conflicted mood, Chirava returned to the cabin where her family lived. Father John took great care of their family and arranged them on the top floor of the ship, which was also the best and largest cabin. The entire cabin had two rooms.

, respectively, lived by their couple and their daughter, without having to crowd in the narrow cabin below like others.

"Father, come and see, is I beautiful in this Central Plains woman's dress?" As soon as Chilava entered the cabin, she heard her daughter Xila shouting with excitement. Then he saw that she saw her.

Qianla, wearing a woman's clothes in Central Plains, rushed over, then carried the corner of her skirt in front of her in both hands.

"Beautiful. My baby daughter is the most beautiful!" Chilava looked at the beautiful daughter in front of her, and her originally uneasy mood seemed to feel relaxed all of a sudden. He had been married to his wife for many years, but he only had such a daughter, so he naturally put all the things.

All the love is poured into her.

Chilava has obvious Roman ancestry, but his wife Helen is Greek. Miss Sila looks more like her mother. She is just seventeen this year and is tall and well-proportioned. She is black and shiny.

The hair is scattered on the shoulders, the deep big eyes are extremely lively, and the facial features are softer. You can tell at a glance that she is a typical Greek beauty. Now Xila is wearing a light blue Central Plains women's long skirt. Although she looks a bit strange,

But it has a unique flavor. At least from Chilava's aesthetic perspective, her daughter is definitely a very attractive and beautiful girl.

After receiving the praise from her father, the smile on her face became even brighter. She turned around a few more times in front of her father, but at this time she also found that her father seemed to have something to do, so she stopped and asked, "Father, you weren't it just now.

Have you asked Father John about the itinerary? Why are you feeling a little unhappy now?"

At this time, Chilava's wife Helen also walked out of the room and saw her husband asking with great concern: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with our itinerary?"

Hearing the words of his wife and daughter, Chilava smiled and said, "Don't guess randomly, our itinerary is fine. Father John said that he will be able to reach his destination this morning, which is the double we went to this time.

Yugang. We will have a good rest at that time.”

Helen and Sila heard that they would be able to get ashore tomorrow, which made both of them cheer happily. After all, they stayed on the boat every day, and they couldn't eat well and sleep well every day. They were also looking forward to getting ashore early, but then

Sila asked her father a little strangely: "Father, since we are about to arrive at our destination, and we don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Indian Governor Francisco, but why are you a little unhappy?"

Regarding his daughter's question, before Chilava came back, his wife Helen smiled and explained to Sila: "Shila, your father is not as carefree as you. He must be worried about Father John now.

Can our previous promise be fulfilled? And the legendary employee doesn't know how to treat us. After all, it's far from our hometown and is completely a strange country. I'm afraid that even the glory of the Lord will not shine on here for the time being.

”

When Helen said it at the end, she couldn't help but look worried on her face. However, the young Miss Sila was very optimistic about her parents' concerns and even comforted her parents: "Father and mother, you don't have to worry too much," she said.

I have read Mr. Marco Polo's travel notes. According to his book, the Central Plains is a civilized country. People here wear exquisite silk and white porcelain. Moreover, the civilized and politeness between people is far more important than ours in Europe

There are many civilizations and advanced ones. We stayed in the city called Guangzhou before. Although it was not long, the city was built very smartly and the streets were very clean, which was similar to what Marco Polo’s travelogues, so I believe if

Hope the words of Father!”

Obviously, the young Miss Sila is also a victim of Marco Polo's travelogues. Although Marco Polo used his book to introduce Eastern civilization to the West, in order to show his legendary experience, he inevitably used it in the book.

Some exaggerated words, such as gold everywhere in the East, everyone is modest and polite, etc. Those who have a little experience know that they are fake, but for Miss Sila, who is still in her teenage years, she always believes in what is written in the book.

All are true.

Chilava and Helen just smiled faintly about their daughter's beautiful fantasy about the Central Plains. Although they knew that the real Central Plains would definitely not be as beautiful as their daughter imagined, they did not break their daughter's fantasy.

In this situation, it is better to have a beautiful dream in your daughter's heart than to worry like they are now.

In fact, it is not just the Chilava family. Most of the other craftsmen in the fleet who were recruited by Father John were nervous. On the one hand, they were happy to reach their destination, but on the other hand, they were worried about Father John before.

The rewards I promised to myself cannot be fulfilled, so the closer they are to Shuangyu Port, the more severe their conflicts will be.

Except for the Chilava family, Father John recruited fifty-one craftsmen, and more than a dozen of these craftsmen worked in the shipyard. They were later under Chilava's men, who helped him build ships and guided the Ming Dynasty.

The other thirty people know a variety of techniques. Some people can make firearms, some can burn glass, and some even claim to be able to make paper. However, the Ming Dynasty is the hometown of papermaking, and the papermaking technology is advanced than that of Europe.

There are so many things, God knows what the other party’s papermaking technique can be used for?

Although the European craftsmen on the ship were very nervous, it was no longer the time for them to regret it. After all, the fleet had arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to go back. All they could only believe in Father John's personal ethics.

After another long night at sea, the next day the fleet did not prepare breakfast, because yesterday they sent people to inform the port that they had returned, and also brought good news, that is

The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's chamber of commerce attaches great importance to their fleet. Not only did they greet them personally at the port, but they also prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome everyone in the fleet.

Hearing this news, the fleet was full of joy, Shuangyu Port was already in sight, and since the port had a banquet, no one was willing to eat the rough breakfast on the boat, so the breakfast was cancelled in the end, and the crew members were all

I tried my best to adjust the speed of the boat to the maximum, and I wanted to arrive at the port early to have a rare hot meal.

When the European craftsmen such as Chirava heard the news, their originally uneasy mood also relaxed a lot. Although they had not seen the hiring of themselves, the news from the other party showed that he attached great importance to this fleet.

This emphasis is likely to include them, so Father John's previous promise is very likely to be true, and they may face a very generous boss.

The fleet with the wind was driving very fast. In a short while, the extremely prosperous Shuangyu Port went out to sea on the sea in front of the fleet. Although it was in a period of frequent storms, the frequency of smuggling fleets going to sea has decreased.

Many, but there are still many ships entering and leaving Shuangyu Port every day. The Ming Dynasty's cargo sails to South China Ocean, Japan, North Korea and other places through here. The goods from these countries also come from all directions and are sold to Shuangyu Port.

Businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing such a lively port in front of you, the craftsmen of Chirava were even more delighted. Father John had introduced this port before, although he always emphasized that it was a very lively port, and the daily cargo throughput was greater than that of Europe.

Any port is big. They were a little suspicious, but now they have seen so many ships coming in and out with their own eyes, which finally made them believe that Father John said everything is true, and that the Ming Dynasty is likely to be richer than they imagined.

powerful.

Compared to these European craftsmen in the fleet, Zhou Chong, who arrived at the dock early this morning, was even happier. The Portuguese fleet has not yet arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Europeans' understanding of the Ming Dynasty is still limited to Marco Polo.

In terms of the description of the travelogue, this made a considerable number of Europeans still have infinite fantasies about the Ming Dynasty. They took this opportunity to encourage Father John to recruit European craftsmen, but they did not expect to recruit dozens of people in one go.

These craftsmen cover several major industries. Although the skills of several craftsmen are useless, most other craftsmen are in urgent need. With the addition of these craftsmen, he is confident that he can build a blend in Shuangyu Port.
