Fu Jun thoughtfully stepped out of the clean room, and saw that the Zheng family was already waiting in front, the flush on her face was covered by the fine palace powder, and her complexion was much more normal.

As soon as he saw Fu Jun walking out, Zheng said gently, "Let's go back." ”

Fu Jun nodded, and returned to the seat with Zheng.

At this time, the wrestling in the arena had ended, and there was no one on the dark felt, only the delicate laughter of Xiao Hongzhu, the princess of Mingzhu, and the wild laughter of the Khan warriors, echoed everywhere in the entire hall.

Fu Jun couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It seems that this time it was Uri who won, but I don't know what happened to the guard.

Fu Jun really couldn't let go of it, so he quietly asked a girl sitting next to him: "May I ask, how is this competition going?" ”

The girl had a regretful expression on her face and whispered to Fu Jun, "Let's lose." The guard was carried down. ”

When Fu Jun heard this, his expression also darkened.

In any case, she is also a big man, and the player representing her country loses, and she is not comfortable in her heart.

At this time, except for the wild laughter and applause of the Khan mission, the entire hall was almost silent. And this represents the laughter and cheers of victory, which is extremely harsh to the ears of everyone.

Fu Jun glanced at the Khan mission. saw Xiao Changyuan's expression indifferent, but Xiao Hongzhu was smiling beautifully. She looked back at the emperor on the seat, and said crisply: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my people have won, can I pick something?" ”

The anger on the emperor's face flashed. Seeing this, Concubine De on the side hurriedly patted the emperor's hand gently. Fu turned his head to look at Xiao Hongzhu, and said indifferently: "Princess, please." ”

Xiao Hongzhu waved her big sleeves, and really walked in front of the big case, circled around the big case a few times, and then tilted her head sideways and said coquettishly: "Oh, how is this good?" I want all three of these things. ”

The smugness and arrogance in her tone were too obvious, and the crown prince Liu Zhang didn't seem to be able to listen to it anymore, so he said lightly: "The princess of a country, why be greedy for other things? ”

He said this very politely, and vaguely ridiculed the poverty and backwardness of the Khanate. Xiao Hongzhu heard this. Eyebrows. There was a faint hint of coldness in his eyes. However, in the next moment, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really understands me, and I like these foreign objects." I'd like to take all three now. Is Your Highness reluctant? ”

Liu Zhang was stunned by her question.

I don't know if this Xiao Hongzhu doesn't understand etiquette or does it on purpose. Asking for his consent? He's just a prince. It is not holy, and it is not something he can say if he is willing to give up.

Liu Zhang looked at Xiao Hongzhu expressionlessly, and a chill surged between his flat eyebrows. For a time, the momentum increased sharply.

Xiao Hongzhu didn't have to wait for Liu Zhang's answer, she just looked at the face of the crown prince Liu Zhang's quickly gloomy face with a smile, and continued: "However, after all, we only won one game, and it is not good to take all the treasures." If you win, these two treasures and the feather veil will be yours. And if we win......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hongzhu deliberately paused for a moment, and Fang Crisp laughed: "We don't want anything else, as long as His Majesty the Emperor gives us ten master blacksmiths, it's fine." ”

As soon as she said this, the entire hall was silent at first, and then there was an uproar.

This pearl princess is really a lion's mouth, and she wants to earn ten master craftsmen of the Han Dynasty in one breath. Thinking that there were only twenty or thirty blacksmiths in the Han Dynasty, she asked for half of her mouth, and her appetite was really not small.

What's more, Xiao Hongzhu doesn't want anything else, just a forging master, and his intention is obvious.

As we all know, the forging technology of the Han Dynasty was very developed, and the process of frying steel was very early on, and now it is carried forward, and the armor made of steel and animal skins is not only strong, but also very durable.

It was not a day or two that the Khan coveted the armor-making process of the Han Dynasty, but those master blacksmiths belonged to the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and the armor-making industry was a state secret, and even the workshop workers were kept secret, so the Khan had the heart to find it but could not find it.

Today, this pearl princess actually put forward such an rude condition in person, how could the big man agree?

The emperor immediately said categorically: "No." ”

Elder Zhang Ge in the seat also got up and said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't joke. ”

Xiao Hongzhu seemed to have expected this kind of answer, and said indifferently: "Since Your Majesty doesn't allow it, then I'll change it." If we win, please open the salt tax certificate and allow trade between the two countries. ”

As soon as these words came out, it caused an uproar in the audience.

Is this Xiao Hongzhu crazy? First, he coveted the Han forging craftsmen, and then forced the opening of the salt tax certificate. The Khan Khanate was located inland and had a very backward salt industry, and they had to spend a lot of silver every year to import salt from the Han Dynasty and the surrounding coastal countries.

In order to win over the surrounding small countries, the Han Dynasty opened up salt tax certificates for a period of time, and those countries could import salt from the Han Dynasty at a price lower than 30% by virtue of the tax certificates in their hands, and they could trade directly with the salt merchants of the Han Dynasty.

If the salt tax certificate was opened to the Khan, the income of the salt industry in the Han Dynasty would drop sharply, which in turn would directly affect the tax revenue of the imperial court. And the exchange of salt merchants between the two countries is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen to them, which is extremely unfavorable to the Han Dynasty.

The emperor's face was covered with dark clouds again, and Zhang Ge Lao even raised his voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the matter of the salt tax certificate is a major matter related to the two countries, how can it be such a child's play?" ”

Xiao Hongzhu smiled even sweeter, and said crisply: "I was only halfway through what I said, and Mr. Zhang rushed to speak." I'm not done yet. If we win, please open your salt tax certificate; And if you win, we, Khan, are willing to open the horse market. ”

As soon as her words fell, Zhang Gelao's eyes immediately lit up.

Not only him, but the courtiers in this full hall, especially the military generals, all had bright eyes, and they could hardly believe their ears.

Is the Khan willing to open a horse market? That's a very tempting condition.

As we all know, the Khan army was very brave and good at cavalry combat, and the Khan Khanate was a place rich in horses, with dozens of large pastures in the country raising thousands of fine war horses.

It is also because of the strong cavalry that the Khan was able to fight against the Han Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and has always stood at the northern end of the Han Dynasty. They knew very well that their advantage lay in cavalry and land warfare, so they controlled their horses very strictly, and all horse farms were owned by the state, and those who sold horses privately were not spared.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, successive kings have repeatedly negotiated with the Khan Khanate about opening up the horse market, promising heavy profits and inducements in the hope of being able to purchase Khan war horses through the exchange of interests, so as to strengthen the country's land army. However, it has been fruitless for many years.

The Khan Khanate valued horses as much as the Han Dynasty valued armor, and the two countries did not trade with each other for many years, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to trade for personal purposes.

Unexpectedly, today, Princess Mingzhu made a condition on the spot at the state banquet, and put the salt tax certificate and the horse market on the same scale, to see how the Han court weighed it. (To be continued......)
