Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, and the person in charge of summoning quickly walked out of the main hall and invited Zhou Raoguo's delegation in.

There are a total of six people in Zhou Raoguo's mission, led by the great nobles of Zhou Raoguo, that is, the eldest princess, these people are about four feet tall, such as fake dwarfs, but unlike common dwarfs, although they are short, the proportions are very symmetrical, and they are also very delicate.

Wu Zhongyuan was full of curiosity about this special race that has become extinct in modern times, so he asked a few more questions, and asked about the customs of Zhou Rao, Zhou Rao is a small country, and the number of people is more than 1,000, their way of making a living is farming and creation, they can only barely satisfy themselves by farming, and they want to change to other living utensils, mainly relying on creation.

The so-called creation, as the name suggests, is to make all kinds of utensils, Zhou Rao people are ingenious, can make very exquisite utensils, including daily necessities, but also some other miscellaneous utensils.

This time Zhou Rao Guo brought a large and a small two boxes, the big box is rectangular, about two meters long, one meter wide and two, it is a wooden box, according to the nobles, this box is a cluster of festive fireworks, after lighting the fuse, it will shoot the congratulatory fireworks into the sky. The small box is a copper box, but the size of a palm, this is a music box, it is also a clockwork, there should be a lot of small chimes in it, and it makes a crisp percussion sound after starting.

Wu Zhongyuan was not very interested in the music box, but he was very interested in this firework, and left the throne to inspect it, and after opening the wooden box, he could see that there were eight thick bamboo tubes erected inside, and the bamboo tubes were covered with copper hoops, and there were fuses connected between the bamboo tubes and the bamboo tubes.

This structure is similar to the structure of modern fireworks, but it is very difficult to make this kind of fireworks at this time, at this time there is already gunpowder, but gunpowder can not be used to make fireworks, because gunpowder is exploded after ignition, and the use of fireworks is required, *** is very different from gunpowder, the former chemical reaction is relatively soft, and the high-pressure impact gas is produced, while the latter chemical reaction is violent, and the violent explosion is produced.

Being able to create fireworks means that Zhou Raoguo has prepared ***, and the copper hoops on the bamboo tube show that they know very well the air pressure generated by *** and know how to use copper hoops to restrain and control them.

Theoretically, if you can make fireworks, you can make guns, but of course, this is only theoretical, as for whether you can do it, you have to try it in practice.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to say it, but accepted the gift and asked the other party what he wanted.

Zhou Raoguo really has a demand, and their appeal is very similar to Zaiguo, the area where they live is also very close to the sea, and there are often huge seabirds attacking and preying on them, they hope that the 'heroic and invincible Yellow Emperor' can save them from fire and water.

When I asked the specific location, it was also very close to the South China Sea, but Zaiguo was western, and they were eastern, Wu Zhongyuan was going to Zaiguo, and it was not impossible to help them do things, but he didn't say it to death, not that he was worried that it was not the opponent of the huge seabirds, but that those seabirds were also related to the South China Sea Dragon Clan, if this is the case, then people don't offend me, but I offend people, and it is a crime repeatedly, isn't this a clear provocation of the South China Sea Dragon Clan to start a war.

Zhou Rao was followed by the Hongmao Country, and the Hongmao Country had the largest number of missions, eight people came, all of them were strong men, all of whom were bareback and barefoot, and their hair was a rare crimson.

Each of them carried a basket behind him, and the basket was full of living creatures, not a rare species, but some common small southern beasts.

After a short conversation, Wu Zhongyuan knew the real intention of the other party's visit, these guys were here to ask for food.

Fortunately, they did not have much appetite, so cloth, salt, and weapons, a little less of everything, and sent them away.

The next one to meet was the Gu clan, and it was not the patriarch Miba who came, but his son, this kid Wu Zhongyuan had seen it by the river, and the gifts they brought were a few boxes of medicinal materials, mainly Panax notoginseng, Poria cocos, gastrodia and other things, which were more precious but not very precious.

The Gu clan simply came to congratulate without any requirements, Wu Ji and Wu Rong were very pleased with this, and Wu Zhongyuan knew the true motive of the other party's coming, before this he had the Gu clan's concentric Gu, and Wan Shanhong had promised that if the Gu clan was in trouble, she would go to help, the Gu clan came to deepen the relationship between the two sides, to put it bluntly, he came to hug his thighs, there is no requirement now, there will definitely be in the future.

The envoys of the Gu clan didn't mention anything about seeing Wu Zhongyuan before, and pretended to have never seen it, which was also their cleverness, because Wu Zhongyuan had already obtained their concentric Gu, and using concentric Gu was a very secret thing, and if they talked nonsense, they would leak the matter.

If you don't say it, you actually say it, and the wordless meaning is, 'You see that we are good at doing things, and we don't leak any rumors.' ’

Those tribes in the Southern Wilderness generally lack clothing and fabrics, and the return gift to the Gu clan is ten silk cloths, which is not much, but it is not too little, after all, the bear clan itself is not rich.

Later, it was the Ma Clan delegation that was summoned, and the Horse Clan was the tribe that produced the dragon foal, and when Wu Zhongyuan first came back, he also lied to the Bear Clan that he was a Horse Clan.

The horse family is very generous, and brought three mares, ordinary mares are worthless, but they brought three pot-bellied mares, and ordinary pot-bellied mares are not worth much, but the mare who is pregnant with the dragon breed is worth a hundred times, and these three big-bellied mares are pregnant with the dragon breed of the black dragon, and they will give birth to three dragon foals in the coming year.

If you use a mare as an analogy to a woman, it will be slanderous and contemptuous, but the nature of the two is actually similar, every woman can have children, but their fate is determined by who they give birth to, and if they give birth to a child to a peddler, they are women, if they give birth to a general, they are a lady, and if they give birth to a king, they are queens.

Wu Junyue happened to come back when she summoned the Horse Clan, and the envoys of the Horse Clan were very familiar with her, and Wu Junyue was also very close to them, and the reason was very simple, the three dragon foals of the Horse Clan this year were given to Wu Junyue.

In front of Wu Junyue, Wu Zhongyuan distributed three mares, one to the left auxiliary hall, one to the right Bi Palace, and one to the Praetorian guards, all for public use.

The dragon foal and the dragon foal are not the same, the three dragon foals born every year are one black and two gray, the black is the best, the gray is the second, the horse people have experience, know which horse gave birth to the black dragon foal, Wu Zhongyuan left the best horse to the Praetorian guard, said that it was for public use, in fact, it was prepared for Wang Xinran.

What is the gift? The gift is sincerity, the Ma Clan is so sincere, it is impossible to ask for nothing, and their request is similar to the request of the Yi people, that is, they hope that after the five seals disappear, the Bear Clan can send purple qi masters to protect them.

It happened that Wu Junyue was present, and Wu Zhongyuan handed over the matter to her, "Junyue Taixuan, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Wu Junyue answered the order.

The last person to meet was the Fire Clan, the Fire Clan is also from the northern Xinjiang, the reason why they call themselves the Fire Clan is not because they know how to control fire, but because they use fire as a totem, and the gift they bring is ten jars of black oil, the so-called black oil is a special oil to put it bluntly, which can burn and illuminate.

The Fire Clan also had nothing to ask for, just to come and congratulate him as usual.

Northern Xinjiang is not very suitable for growing corn, so I returned a few hundred catties of rice grain as a thanksgiving gift, and dozens of catties of purple potato were also given.

When the envoy of the fire clan retreated, Wu Junyue replied to Wu Zhongyuan, and the Niu clan promised to come to congratulate him on the day he ascended the throne, in order to show respect for him, how many people came from the Niu clan, and who came, were all decided by him, and the Niu clan obeyed the order.

Wu Junyue finished speaking, Wu Ji looked puzzled, "What is his intention in doing this?"

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "Coming alone, he is not sure." If he comes with the crowd, he is worried that we will think too much. ”

Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the three of them all nodded, and Wu Junyue asked again, "How many people does Da Wu allow him to bring?"

"It doesn't matter, whatever he wants, he likes to bring a few with a few. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"Then I'll send someone to tell me. Wu Junyue turned around to leave.

"Wait," Wu Zhongyuan called out to her, "Is Jiang Zheng okay?"

Wu Junyue didn't understand why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question, and tilted her head in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan was also inconvenient to say clearly, so he had to ask politely, "How is his complexion?"

"The complexion is acceptable, but for some reason two front teeth are missing......"
