During lunch, Su Chen introduced Song Ying, Yuan Jie and others to Li Chengqian.
"Which teacher did you also learn mathematics and the investigation of objects from?
Teacher, you seem to have taught many people, and there are a group of gentlemen from Guanzhou School."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Before I met Your Majesty, I was bored in Sujiazhuang and bumped into them by accident."
"They are pretty good at math, so I helped them a little bit."
Li Chengqian asked curiously: "How much worse is the math doctor from the Imperial College compared with them?"
"This,, there's no comparison at all!"
Li Chengqian nodded: I guess this is also the case.
Li Ke and others studied in Guanzhou for several months, and they were able to beat the imperial students of the Imperial College when they returned home. It can be seen that the knowledge of those gentlemen must be much higher than that of the Imperial Doctors.
"Teacher, if you don't let them go to Guanzhou, what will they do with the fleet?"
"Oh, their hobbies are astronomy and geography. This time they are following the fleet to record and calculate some astronomical phenomena."
Li Chengqian glanced at Su Chen: "Teacher, remember to tell them not to meet with people from Qintian Prison in the future."
Su Chen smiled: "Don't worry, they are too lazy to pay attention to the gang of magicians from Qintian Prison!"
After the meal, we chatted for a while and rested for a while, Su Chen went to the lobby.
We originally planned to go to the shipyard in the afternoon, but Song Ying and the others and their housekeeper Liu Si said they had something to report.
Su Chen decided to listen to what they had to say first, and Li Chengqian followed curiously.
"Master, I originally planned to wait for you to rest and rest before reporting to you. It seems that your schedule is quite tight these days, so..."
"What are you talking about? What do you need to report to me seriously?"
Song Ying glanced at Yuan Jie: "Master, we found a giant cannibal in Guangzhou!"
"What?
Big cannibal?
Did you read that correctly?
How could they go to Guangdong!"
Su Chen was stunned,
"Young master is not wrong. We have inquired carefully and it is indeed a cannibal!"
It was Yuan Jie who spoke
"Prying?
Who did you inquire about?
When did this happen?"
These two people were busy measuring the values of various celestial bodies all day long, why did they go to find out about some giant cannibal?
“Just before we come to Fuzhou from Guangzhou!”
Su Chen calmed down from the shock, took a sip of coconut juice and said, "Please tell me in detail what happened from the beginning."
Song Yingdao: "Master, in fact, there have always been Persians in Guangzhou."
Su Chen nodded: "I know that the Persians have been to Guangzhou a long time ago, but the voyage is too difficult and dangerous, so they rarely come. They usually take the Silk Road in the north."
Song Ying continued: "Just a few days before we left Guangzhou, Lao Yuan and I heard that a Persian merchant ship had arrived in Guangzhou."
"At that time, we thought that since the Persians could come to Guangzhou, they must be familiar with the sea conditions along the way, which would be very helpful for the young master's future navigation."
"So we went to find the Persian merchant ship and wanted those Persians to serve as guides for the young master in the future."
Su Chen nodded: "Very good! Have you found it?"
"I found Persians who can speak Chinese, but they didn't want to!"
"We thought it was the businessmen who were greedy for money, but no matter how much money we promised, they refused."
"Later we bribed a Persian dancer and found out that those Persians were hired by the cannibal..."
Su Chen frowned: "Have you seen the giant cannibal with your own eyes?"
"I saw them! They are easy to spot with their big headscarves!"
After Su Chen listened, he quickly reacted: "Bring paper and pen!"
"Zhang Daan! Call Master Sun Ren for me quickly!"
Butler Liu Si quickly brought in pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Su Chen began to write at random.
"Master, we have also discovered many large Chinese ships in Guangzhou, which are imitations of our eight-thousand-stone ship!"
Yuan Jie added.
Su Chen paused for a moment, then continued.
“We’ll talk about this later!”
Su Chen quickly wrote a letter and was about to stamp it with his seal.
Li Chengqian said: "Use mine!"
He had been watching from the side, and not a single word of the content in the letter was forgotten.
"Cover both!"
Stamp it and put it in the envelope,
Su Chen said to Song Ying: "Continue, you just said that there are many large ships in Guangzhou going to the Central Plains?"
"Yes, we were very curious at the time. We thought it was a caravan from the Central Plains. We stepped forward and took a look to see if it was true!"
"when did it happen?"
"It was also a few days before we left Guangzhou."
After Song Ying finished speaking, he added: "But young master, we are usually very busy, so we only have a few days of leisure before we leave, so we can walk around Panyu."
"We don't know whether those big ships are available at other times."
After hearing this, Su Chen looked ugly and fell into deep thought.
After a while, the housekeeper reminded in a low voice:
"Master! General Sun is here!"
Sun Renshi ran in from outside panting: "Commander! Why did you summon the general so quickly?"
Su Chen picked up the letter he had just written: "The Great Eater has appeared in Guangzhou!"
"ah!"
Master Sun Ren was stunned and immediately asked: "How many people?"
"General Sun, don't worry! There are only ten people here, coming on a Persian merchant ship."
Sun Renshi then breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the commander-in-chief's name is Mo in the future?"
"You go back immediately, take six frigates, staff them yourself, and rush to Panyu as quickly as possible."
"After arriving in Panyu, I will immediately block the port and arrest all the cannibals and Persians in Panyu."
With that said, Su Chen handed the envelope to Sun Renshi: "This is my request for assistance from the Guangzhou local government. It has the signatures of myself and His Royal Highness."
Master Sun Ren finally hugged the envelope and said, "General, I'll go right now!"
After taking a step, he turned around and asked, "Your Highness, Commander-in-Chief, if someone obstructs you..."
"Kill him!"
"You will eventually understand!"
Master Sun Ren came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Seeing Su Chen's brows furrowed, Li Chengqian said: "Perhaps the Great Cannibal wants to imitate the Persians and do business with me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Su Chen shook his head: "Didn't Song Ying just say that they don't dare to ask for any amount of money given to the Persians? If they do business, the Persians will definitely report to the big cannibal and discuss it instead of rejecting it outright. It must be the big cannibal.
The cannibals gave them death orders!"
"Even if the cannibals have bad intentions, with just a dozen or so people, and we already know about them, we can't do much harm if we measure them?"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so!"
"Everything about this man-eater was beyond my expectations. I had to think more about the worst."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Teacher, actually you can also think about the good things!"
Su Chen was stunned: "Think about the good things?
Please make it clear, Your Highness."
"Didn't Song Ying say that the Great Eater came on a Persian merchant ship?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up: "Your Highness is saying that the Great Eater is not yet able to sail far?
