Chapter 92 How to Return the Gift?

The two sides stepped forward and greeted each other.

On the side of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Li Chengqian took the lead.

On Daqin's side, the eldest son Fusu is the leader.

After the two parties greeted each other, Prince Li Chengqian glanced at Fusu and Hu Hai, and smiled.

"If Gu does not admit his mistake, you should be Fusu, the eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty."

As he spoke, he turned his head to Hu Hai, who was dressed in black and looked decent.

"And you, should be the eighteenth son, Hu Hai?"

Li Chengqian's voice was very indifferent, high above him, as if he didn't think highly of Fu Su and Hu Hai at all.

Fusu didn't think there was anything, but his eyes were slightly condensed.

But Hu Hai felt uncomfortable and was about to explode.

This prince of the Tang Dynasty doesn't think highly of them at all!
"You can look down on Fusu, a fool, but you can't look down on me, Hu Hai!" '

Hu Hai roared in his heart, his face was covered with frost.

Li Chengqian didn't even look at Hu Hai again when he was provoked by himself when he saw a sentence.

This man is trash.

Rubbish that couldn't catch his eyes at all.

Standing beside Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong also looked back at Hu Hai.

Although I heard that Daqin has three very good sons.

One is the Ninth Prince Ying Zixiu who has risen to fame recently.

The other two are Fu Su and Hu Hai.

Rumor has it that Daqin's future successor must be one of these three people.

But now it seems that Hu Hai can be ruled out.

Li Chengqian looked at Fusu, his voice was still calm and high above.

"Master Daqin, I just have one thing to ask."

Although Li Chengqian's voice was please, there was no tone of please at all.

Fusu Ruya smiled,

"Prince of the Tang Dynasty, please tell me."

Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"I'm confused, where is the Great Qin Army God, Ninth Prince Ying Zixiu?"

Hearing this, Fusu's eyes narrowed.

Hu Hai was even more angry.

This Tang prince Li Chengqian showed that he just didn't think highly of him.

Of course, he didn't think highly of Fusu either.

However, Li Chengqian asked Ying Zixiu instead.

What does this mean?

Hu Hai was angry in his heart, but he had to suppress it.

Before coming, Zhao Gao told Hu Hai not to get angry when encountering anything.

This time, he just came to learn more, just grow up a bit.

It's just that this growth made Hu Hai very painful.

Hu Hai suppressed his anger, but he didn't think he showed it.

However, his thoughts were clearly seen by Li Chengqian and others.

Li Chengqian sneered from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the Eighteenth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty was simply a conspicuous person who was overwhelmed.

With this city mansion, is there a future Daqin heir?
It's ridiculous.

Fusu looked calm at this moment, looked at Li Chengqian and said with a refined voice.

"Ninth brother has been ill recently, so it is inconvenient to attend."

Li Chengqian's eyes froze when he heard the sound.

Ying Zixiu, is he unwell?

For some reason, when Li Chengqian heard this, he was slightly relieved.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Fusu kindly.

"It's an honor to have His Royal Highness Fusu come to pick you up."

Fusu smiled.

"Prince Chengqian praised it."

The two of them were polite, and Han Fei and the others felt slightly moved when they saw this scene.

After the exchange between Li Chengqian and Fusu, it was the turn of the civil servants and generals of both sides.

There is nothing special about the civil servants.

Changsun Wuji was very peaceful, and he didn't show the power of Tang Xiangguo at all.

Li Si and Han Fei are not bad either, they are both talented people, and they can handle it well.

in conversation.

Changsun Wuji asked if Han Fei knew Ying Zixiu.

Han Fei said that he was rescued by Ying Zixiu before he made his fortune.

This immediately made Changsun Wuji interested, and he had a good chat with Han Fei.

General side.

Qin Qiong looked at old general Wang Jian.

His first glance was to size up Wang Jian's armor.

Wang Jian's battle armor is pitch black, not as shiny as his black battle armor, and it is still full of years, with many scratches on it.

However, Qin Qiong has no sense of superiority in her heart.

He looked at Wang Jian and made a serious salute.

"Qin Qiong, I have met old general Wang Jian."

Qin Qiong is very cautious, and he has no arrogance that he shouldn't have.

He felt that Wang Jian's ability to become the number one general in Daqin in Dongzhou must have his strengths.

And not long ago, Da Qin and Ming fought on the border.

The leader of Daqin's team is this old general Wang Jian.

And Daming is Chang Yuchun, one of the gods of war.

Chang Yuchun didn't get much benefit from that battle.

This means that Wang Jian's strength is definitely not weaker than Chang Yuchun.

Although Qin Qiong also thinks that he is not weaker than Chang Yuchun, even worse.

But for Wang Jian, he must also be cautious.

The meeting between Da Qin and Datang this time was relatively mild.

Except for Hu Hai who is not in a very good mood, everyone else is quite harmonious.

In the evening, after the meeting, Han Fei came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Looking at Ying Zixiu who was still sitting in the courtyard, Han Fei bowed.

"Chen Han Fei, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Ninth Prince."

Ying Zixiu looked at Han Fei and nodded slightly.

"Han Fei, what's the situation with the envoy of Tang Dynasty today?"

Zhang Liang and Wang Li stood behind Ying Zixiu, and they both looked at Han Fei.

Han Fei then told Ying Zixiu what he had seen and heard.

At the same time, he also mentioned an important thing.

That is, this time all countries came to Daqin to participate in the grand ceremony, and they must show the etiquette of each dynasty.

Even a dynasty that has enmity with Da Qin or does not deal with it will certainly not be sloppy on such major matters.

Because this is related to the face of each dynasty.

And how important the face of the dynasty is, I don't need to go into details.

Daqing is an example...

Therefore, whether it is the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the next major dynasties.

When they came to Daqin, they must have brought gifts.

As the Great Qin Yushi doctor, Han Fei's biggest responsibility is to supervise all officials.

But at the same time, he also has other responsibilities.

For example, when the major dynasties came to Daqin this time, the gifts they brought would be reported to Han Fei first.

Han Fei will count them, classify them, and write them down one by one.

Yesterday, Han Fei told Ying Zixiu about Da Song's gift.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't underestimate Yingzheng, so the gifts brought by Song Dynasty this time were not bad, there were [-] high-quality armors.

[-] pieces of first-class armor are enough to equip an imperial guard army.

In terms of defense, Da Song is best at it.

So this is a very sincere gift for Da Song.

At this moment, Han Fei mentioned the gift from Datang.

Both Zhang Liang and Wang Li were curious.

After all, Datang was the first dynasty in Kyushu.

Datang made a move, and the gift was naturally extraordinary.

As for how extraordinary it was, the two of them couldn't guess.

Soon, Han Fei said one by one.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, there are four kinds of gifts brought by Datang this time."

"Four?"

Hearing this number, Ying Zixiu raised his eyebrows.

This time, Datang seems to have brought a lot of gifts to Daqin.

There are actually four?
Zhang Liang and Wang Li were also a little surprised.

Zhang Liang was thoughtful, analyzing the four kinds of gifts.

Wang Li just tilted his head, not understanding.

The three looked at Han Fei, and Han Fei continued.

"The first one is one hundred catties of fine rice paper."

paper!

Zhang Liang's nerves jumped.

Paper is definitely a luxury among luxury goods in Daqin and Dongzhou.

But this time, Datang actually gave a hundred catties of high-quality rice paper directly?

As a student of Confucianism, Zhang Liang is no stranger to paper.

There are about a hundred sheets of paper in a pound of paper.

And the price of these one hundred sheets of paper in Daqin is two taels of silver per sheet.

In other words, a catty of paper can be sold for 200 taels of silver in Daqin.

What is the purchasing power of 200 taels of silver?

In the ordinary army, the monthly salary of a commander is about 20 taels.

That is to say, a catty of paper, 200 taels of silver, is worth nearly a year's salary of a commander-in-chief.

enough to see.

In Daqin, paper is definitely a luxury among luxury goods.

Even Ying Zheng was reluctant to use it, and has been reviewing the memorials made of bamboo slips to this day.

Ying Zixiu was a little surprised.

High-quality rice paper can even be sold for five taels in Daqin, at a high price of 500 taels per catty.

Datang, this time sent a hundred catties, a full 5 taels of silver.

'It's really generous to make a shot. '

Ying Zixiu sighed inwardly.

Although paper is such a thing, he can make it very easily.

But that's for him.

For Da Qin at this moment, this hundred catties of paper is definitely worth a lot.

The sincerity of Datang can be seen.

Ying Zixiu looked at Han Fei. This was only the first gift. What about the other three?

"Your Highness, there are three remaining types, namely, the wine fairy of the Great Tang Dynasty drunk a hundred catties, a hundred bolts of fine silk and satin, and a hundred rare gems."

Zhang Liang's eyes were slightly distracted when he heard it.

It goes without saying that the wine immortals in the Tang Dynasty were drunk.

It was a national wine of the same level as Ying Zixiu's Feitian wine.

As for how wonderful the Feitian wine is, Zhang Liang feels yearning after thinking about it.

Even if Immortal Drunk is not worse than Ying Zixiu's Flying Wine, it is definitely not much worse.

And the value of a hundred bolts of fine silk and satin is almost the same as a hundred catties of fine rice paper.

As for one hundred rare gems.

This can create good jewelry for Yingzheng's concubines and princesses.

This kind of thing is basically something that money can't buy.

It can be said.

The gift from Datang this time is really full of sincerity.

Although the sum of the four kinds is less than the [-] high-quality armors of Song Dynasty.

But this value has far exceeded.

Ying Zixiu also nodded, with a smile in his eyes.

Tang Huang Li Shimin is really smart.

At least in terms of etiquette, Datang's wave will definitely be praised by everyone.

At this time, Han Fei said another important message.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, Sun Wuji, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, once asked about the various business systems of the Great Qin Dynasty when he was talking with his ministers.

"I think that Datang may want to open a trade with me, Daqin."

Hearing this, Ying Zixiu's face froze slightly.

The Great Tang, like the Great Song, did not directly border the Great Qin.

However, if Datang wants to open trade with Daqin, it will be difficult.

Between the two, there is a land of the Three Kingdoms.

And the land of the Three Kingdoms is extremely chaotic, with constant wars, and all countries have games in it.

If Datang wants to open trade with Daqin, it must come up with a good strategy.

but.

Why did Tang Huang Li Shimin's thoughts collide with him?

Ying Zixiu chuckled and looked at the three people beside him.

"The great dynasties came to congratulate me, Da Qin, and sent great gifts, and I, Da Qin, will naturally return the gift.

"What do you think is the most appropriate gift in return?"

Han Fei was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Ying Zixiu.

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, excuse me, shouldn't this matter be considered by His Majesty?"

Ying Zixiu nodded and glanced at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang smiled and said.

"Your Majesty sent Meng Yi here today and handed over the matter to His Royal Highness Ninth Prince."

Yingzheng also knew that Daqin unified Dongzhou this time and held a grand enthronement ceremony.

The gifts from the major dynasties will definitely not be bad.

However, Daqin was only a small country in the past.

Yingzheng is focused on improving national power.

In various other aspects, the economy, trade, and people's livelihood have not had time for Yingzheng.

So, he handed over the hot potato of return gift to Ying Zixiu.

In Ying Zheng's view.

The only one who can save Da Qin in times of crisis is Ying Zixiu.

Although this matter is not dangerous, it is very difficult.

Han Fei's face suddenly changed, and he understood.

Then, he slowly frowned and stood there speechless for a long time.

Ying Zixiu glanced at him, then at Zhang Liang Wangli.

I saw Zhang Liang, like Han Fei, frowning and thinking, but there was no good solution.

As for Wang Li, let alone.

He stood there scratching his head, almost crying.

Let him be a general to think about this kind of thing.

It's really hard for him.

Ying Zixiu smiled when he saw this.

After a long time, he looked at the three of them and gave orders one by one.

"Wang Li, I am a good craftsman in Daqin. You can collect a team of thousands of craftsmen for me, and then you can send it to Dasong."

Han Fei and Zhang Liang's eyes lit up.

Wang Li didn't think too much about it, as long as Ying Zixiu gave him things to do instead of asking him to think about problems, then there would be no problem.

"Han Fei, in your name, buy all the mines around Xianyang. I want a batch of good sand."

Hearing Ying Zixiu's order, Han Fei was stunned.

His eyes were blank, and Zhang Liang beside him was the same.

Even though they were peerless civil servants, they didn't understand the meaning of Ying Zixiu's order at this time.

Could it be that he wants to send a batch of sand to Datang as a gift in return?
I……

The two didn't know what to say.

But out of their trust in Ying Zixiu, they didn't refute it.

And that's just the beginning.

Ying Zixiu also ordered Han Fei to buy other mines, such as the poisonous mine salt mountain and the saltpeter mountain.

Among them, only the two of Saltpeter Mountain can barely understand.

That is the raw material for making gunpowder.

Although there are not many Daqin, there are also.

But the poisonous mine, salt mountain and sand, the two of them couldn't understand at all.

After Ying Zixiu finished his orders, he waved his hand and let the three of them go down.

He has already thought about the gift to return to Datang.

The gift from Datang represents prosperity.

Then he will also give a return gift that represents prosperity.

This gift, what Ying Zixiu thought of was glass.

After the three left, Ying Zixiu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, closing his eyes and deducing.

Not long after, a notification sound came from Ying Zixiu's mind.

【Ding!Congratulations, combined with the memory of the previous life, you have developed the glass making method and the mineral salt refining method. 】

As for gunpowder and paper, Ying Zixiu was in no hurry.

Things need to be done step by step.

The development of the country has to be done step by step.

But this glass.

Presumably, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and even the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, must have been shocked, their jaws dropped.

Ying Zixiu was full of confidence.
