Ding Yunyi smiled slightly, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

In fact, this kind of magician's ability is worthless to put it bluntly.

There is a drought here right now, and water is the most precious thing. But if a servant breaks a water tank, he may be beaten badly. But when Ding Yunyi mentioned it, Song Poran was surprised, but showed no anger or regret, as if he didn't care at all.

So it would be like this, the person who accidentally broke the water tank was either his wife or his children.

In order to be more safe, Ding Yunyi specially used the word "relatives and friends", which covers a wide range.

In addition to observing words and expressions, warlocks will also secretly observe each other's expressions when they are talented, and even judge the identity of the other party, including their clothing, demeanor, and speech. Most of them like to use such vague words. Due to their mentality, those who come to tell fortunes will unknowingly be tricked by the warlocks.

Just by the nose, once the magician uses such vague words, the fortune teller will be psychologically affected and will feel that it cannot be more accurate. From then on, whatever the magician says will feel right.

Therefore, there are countless "divine calculations" and "masters".

In fact, to deal with this kind of people, as long as you grasp a core issue and pursue it fiercely, never let up, otherwise those serious "masters" will be at a loss for words and talk nonsense after just a few words.

But now Ding Yunyi just used these little tricks, which really surprised Song Poran and his subordinates.

Ding Yunyi smiled slightly and said: "Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the founding hero of this dynasty, are the masters in this field. I studied under the Liu School and learned a little bit."

The "Liu Sect" was probably invented by Mr. Ding himself.

But these words sounded very different to Song Boran's ears: "Your Excellency is still proficient in this art, but I wonder how the Song family's luck is going to be?"

Ding Yunyi frowned: "Shopkeeper Song, in fact, the misfortune your Song family encountered when you were in Fujian had nothing to do with studying, but was contaminated with unclean things. When you came to Taiwan, this thing was not adapted to the climate at first. Now.

It gradually adapts and encounters another disaster, which is just the opportunity for it to reappear. Now that you are in a flood, it is ready to attack."

Song Poran was shocked when he heard this. He believed in this the most in his life. Ding Yunyi performed his "stunt" of divine calculation again. He was completely convinced at the moment and begged repeatedly: "Since you have seen it, there must be a way to solve it. Please save me."

!”

"It's okay, Duan San, bring your knife!"

Duan San'er took off the knife from his waist and handed it to Ding Yunyi. Ding Yunyi pulled out the knife, rolled up his sleeves, and cut his arm. Blood flowed down the blade, and Ding Yunyi handed the knife to Song Poran's hand: "Swordsman

, the murderous weapon, the knife in the army, has killed countless people. The most ferocious of evils, the ghosts avoid it. I, Ding Yunyi, have killed countless people, even evil ghosts are afraid of it. Today, the murderous knife is stained with fierce blood. Shopkeeper Song can hang this knife on the door of the living room.

After three days and three nights, the unclean thing will naturally escape, and I will never dare to enter the Song family again!"

Song Boran was already panicking. He would believe whatever Ding Yunyi said. He was even more grateful when he saw Ding Yunyi cutting his own arm for the sake of his family. He held the knife in both hands and hung it respectfully on the main door of the living room before returning.

He bowed his head to Ding Yunyi and said: "I just thought it was because I was studying. I didn't want it, but unclean things entered my Song family. If it weren't for your lord, Song would still be at a loss and not know. I am ashamed, ashamed."

Then he turned to Su Yang and said, "Master Su Yang, you asked me several times to borrow a room to use as a library, but I didn't agree because of concerns. Today, since Master Ding helped me get through this disaster, Song is willing to lend those rooms to me."

I lent the house to Mr. Su Yang, not only for free of rent, but also all the equipment inside, including Mr. Su Yang’s food, accommodation, and transportation, will be taken care of by me!”

Su Yang was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

He was originally helpless, but as soon as Lord Ding arrived, he solved it so easily.

Who would have thought that Ding Yunyi suddenly said: "That being said, Shopkeeper Song lent the house for free and was responsible for Mr. Song's room and board. How could Shopkeeper Song suffer so much? I don't think it's better to do this. The library will be called 'Poran Library'

, name it after Shopkeeper Song, and ask calligraphers to write a plaque. If those students become successful in the future, they will definitely not forget Shopkeeper Song’s kindness.”

Song Boran was overjoyed. He never imagined that he, who could not recognize a single Chinese character, would actually have a library named after him. If word of this spread spread, not only would he have a bright face, but the Song family would also be able to feel proud and proud from now on.

At that time, he said sincerely: "Mr. Ding, my father originally asked someone to give me my name. It's ridiculous to ask someone to choose a name, but he taboos reading. Song doesn't recognize a single big character, even his own name.

Can draw a circle and add a vertical line instead. His son is nine years old this year, and the same is true. Song can no longer delay his son, and also wants to send the dog to Po...Poran Hall.Poran Hall, Poran

Library...Okay, okay, there is actually a library named after me, Mr. Ding, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Song family!"

Su Yang Qiuyuan did not expect that Mr. Ding would be so good at naming the library after Song Po Ran, but in this way, Song Po Ran would definitely do his best for the "Po Ran Library" from now on.

I'm afraid only adults can think of this incredible method.

As soon as this matter was resolved, everyone was in a good mood. While greeting everyone to continue eating, Song Boran sighed with emotion: "Master Ding, I'm so ashamed. Everyone is doing disaster relief, but I am the only one hiding at home. It turns out that this

Doing good deeds also makes people feel happy. Let’s do this. From now on, Song will contribute money and efforts to disaster relief.”

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Song!" Ding Yunyi cupped his hands and said, "Taiwanese people will always remember the good things Shopkeeper Song has done. If Shopkeeper Song is in trouble, why worry about having no one to help him?"

Song Poran nodded in agreement.

He is the only big businessman in Taiwan. When Zheng Zhilong moved people from Fujian, he specially summoned him and asked him to help him keep an eye on these immigrants. But as soon as Ding Yunyi came, he made a little plan and made Song Poran one of his own.

The two sides chatted for a while, gradually moving from natural disasters to maritime trade. When talking about the Ganrasi people, Ding Yunyi also mentioned the Ganrasi people's rule over the Mexicans.

Some of his subordinates had heard of these things before, and some had never heard of them. They all listened with great interest. Xiaotu interrupted him from time to time and asked some questions of his own.

Song Boran slowly frowned upon hearing this.

After Ding Yunyi's words paused for a moment, Song Poran asked carefully: "The ink that Mr. Ding was talking about...Mexico produces silver, and it also produces a plant with thorns all over its body, but it is not easy to bloom.

?”

"Ah? Cactus? Yes, this is the place." Ding Yunyi was very curious: "Does Shopkeeper Song also know about it?"

It's no wonder that Ding Yunyi is curious. People in the Ming Dynasty knew about the Franconian Country and the Gan Lasi Country, but they really didn't know much about Mexico.

Song Boran smiled in relief and said: "Where did I think that was? The Mexico that Mr. Ding mentioned is the 'Western Country' we call it."

"Xifan Kingdom?" Ding Yunyi was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it is called Xifan Kingdom." Song Boran nodded: "I am in charge of the 'Fan Wheat' grown by Mr. Su Yang in Taiwan. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was brought by people who went to Mecca for pilgrimage.

It came from here, so it is also called 'Pastridium barley' and 'Western wheat'. I heard from people back home that this kind of passion barley was produced in Xifan country, which is far away from our Ming Dynasty. After it was introduced to the Ming Dynasty, because of its scarcity,

It is only for the royal family, so it is also called 'Royal Wheat'. However, in recent years, there have been more Taixi people in the Ming Dynasty, and people have gradually grown it, but before that, it was mostly grown in the north."

Ding Yunyi didn't expect that Song Boran knew these things so well. He was about to ask more questions when he heard Song Boran say: "The Spanish granite is strange in the eyes of others, but it is nothing in the eyes of the Song family. It is not that the Song family is rich.

In fact, my Song family only has a little more spare money than ordinary people, but my great-grandfather once went to Xifan Kingdom and saw that it was everywhere."

"Your great-grandfather went to Mexico? Ah, the country of Xifan." Ding Yunyi was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Seeing Song Poran nodded, Ding Yunyi said hurriedly: "I am about to open a route from Taiwan to Xifan. But I am suffering from the fact that I don't recognize it. Those dry silk people want to monopolize this route, so they are very secretive. I kept it secret.

I sent three groups of people, but there was no response. I wonder if Shopkeeper Song’s great-grandfather is still alive?”

As soon as he asked the question, Ding Yunyi felt that his words were unnecessary. How old would his great-grandfather be if he were here? Sure enough, Song Poran smiled and shook his head: "The Immortal has been gone for a long time."

Ding Yunyi was disappointed, but Song Poran said: "Sir, please wait a moment."

As he walked towards the inner room, no one knew what he was going to do. After a while, they saw him struggling to carry out a box, which was covered with dust and had not been opened for an unknown period of time.

Song Boran made room on the table, wiped off the dust on it, and opened it carefully. Everyone gathered around to take a look and saw that there were hundreds of scrolls.

Song Boran picked up a volume and sighed: "My great-grandfather and a captain who dried wax silk were engaged in maritime business. They traveled to many places and earned a lot of wealth for my Song family. Later, finally

After returning from a trip to the sea, Captain Ganlusi fell ill. My great-grandfather took care of him with all his heart, but in the end the medicine was ineffective. Before Captain Ganlusi died, he gave these things to my great-grandfather. He said that he had started to use them since he was young.

Wandering on the sea, every time he goes to a place, he must draw a route, called a "navigation chart". After decades of accumulation, he has so many. He is about to die, in order to reward his great-grandfather for following him for so many years, and to express his great-grandfather's feelings.

Before his death, he took care of me and gave these things to my great-grandfather..."

Nautical chart? Nautical chart!

These three words made Ding Yunyi's eyes light up immediately.

"It's a pity that our Song family will no longer follow the maritime trade route in the future. In addition, most of our Song family are illiterate, so these things will never be used again." Song Poran said, and suddenly said: "Since you want to open up further,

The road of maritime trade, I am willing to give this to you now!"

Ding Yunyi was overjoyed. These things may be worthless in the eyes of others, but in his own eyes, they are priceless treasures that cannot be exchanged for any treasures!

I originally came here for the purpose of the library, but I didn't expect that I would get such a precious thing.

"Shopkeeper Song, your gift is really big." Ding Yunyi picked up a nautical chart, thanked him repeatedly, and opened a volume on the table. He saw that all the words written on it were in foreign characters, and he didn't recognize any of them, but the route was drawn.

Be clear.

Ding Yunyi's heart was pounding, and he opened several volumes one after another. When he opened another volume, several people nearby shouted at the same time: "Taiwan!"

Yes, on this nautical chart, although I can’t read the words above, I can see that it is the route from Luzon to Taiwan. And there are various numbers marked on it, which presumably are the longitude and latitude.

It's a pity that the sextant has not been invented yet, otherwise there will be no deviation when going to sea, and there will be no delay in taking the wrong route, Ding Yunyi thought to himself.

When early navigators sailed along the route in the sea, they needed to constantly determine the location of the ship, that is, the intersection of the longitude and latitude of the ship. In order to find out the latitude of their ship, navigators needed an instrument.

It can determine latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and the sun at noon, or by measuring the angle between the horizon and a fixed star. Initially, sailors used astrolabes to measure the height of the sun, but due to the ship's

The deck of the ship was up and down. This instrument was extremely difficult to operate, and it was not easy to make accurate measurements. Later, people used a right angle instrument to replace the astrolabe.

However, only after the advent of the sextant could navigators accurately and conveniently measure angles and calculate the latitude of the ship.

The problem is that I don't understand the sextant, so I can't offer any constructive suggestions at all, yet I invented this navigational weapon in advance.

But having these navigation charts has been of great help to him. Ding Yunyi can even see that a brand new world has appeared in front of him.

After returning home, you only need to find someone to translate the above text, and then send out a fleet of ships to follow the positions marked on the nautical chart, and you will be able to reach most countries in the world.

The Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Mexico...the doors of these countries will open to themselves, and with it, in addition to the huge profits brought by trade in goods, there will also be advanced technologies from those countries.

.

Priceless treasure, this is truly priceless treasure!

"Shopkeeper Song, you did something for me that I never dared to dream of." Ding Yunyi said seriously: "This can at least save me more than ten years of exploring various countries. The Westerners have blocked such things.

It's so strict that even ordinary Thai and Western sailors can't reach it at all. My sea route has been completely opened, completely opened!"

Although Su Yang Qiuyuan didn't quite understand whether the navigation chart was really that useful, he could clearly feel his joy from the adult's words. It seemed that he had come to the right place this time.

Song Boran smiled and said: "Being able to do these things for you can be regarded as a small way of repaying your kindness."
