Chapter 901: Can't be sold

Ang Lee travels all the way to the mountains and rivers, for the famous cultural scenic spots, it is necessary to go up to visit, and any cultural scenic spot needs a special tour guide to explain, so that Ang Lee can understand the ins and outs of this scenic spot, so as to understand the customs and folklore of this country through these cultural scenic spots.

Since you have come to a country, you naturally have to know something about the country, and if you don't know anything, then it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.

Ang Lee was not in a hurry to arrive in Moldova, and Rahman's henchman, who was in charge of leading the way, couldn't bear it at all, and had the intention of urging Ang Lee many times, of course, it was a tactful urging, so as not to make Ang Lee unhappy, and Ang Lee naturally would not be disturbed by the other party, and still walked slowly and unhurriedly, just like traveling.

"Li Shilang, our royal city is not far away, after the turn in front, you can dock in another half an hour, and our king will greet you personally."

Rahman's men spoke.

Li An nodded with great satisfaction: "I've walked all the way, and I'm finally about to reach my destination, thank you for your king's enthusiasm, I'll go change my clothes." โ€

After saying that, he walked into the cabin.

Along the way, Ang Lee rarely wears official robes, because it is really uncomfortable to wear on his body, and it is not as comfortable as wearing clothes designed by himself, but on important occasions, Ang Lee still needs to wear official robes, so that he can appear more formal, highlight his status, and better represent the image of the country.

After putting on the clothes, Li An suddenly became more energetic than usual, and more handsome and majestic, after all, the official robe is the official robe, there must be some majesty, and the casual clothes that are close to the people are naturally different, after wearing the official robe, the whole person looks even taller.

Near the docks near Cรณrdoba, Rahman with his men and five or six hundred soldiers on guard was ready to greet Ang Lee.

As the king of a country, Rahman is naturally also dressed in formal clothes, and the soldiers under his command are also full of energy, and it is obvious that they are elite troops.

At the same time, Charlemagne's subordinates, who had arrived earlier, were also very curious to rush to the docks, but they were not with Rahman, but mixed with the common people.

However, they did not hide their identities either, and were still under the watchful eye of Rahman's subordinates, and their every move was closely monitored.

Ang Lee's shelf was big enough, and Rahman came to greet him in person, and he had already said it in advance, but Ang Lee still marched unhurriedly, and he didn't mind letting Rahman wait a little longer.

And Rahman was indeed a little anxious to wait, thinking that the time should have come a long time ago, but he couldn't wait for Ang Lee's appearance, and his mood was obviously very bad.

"The officials of the Tang Dynasty, are the shelves so big? I've already said the time, why hasn't it arrived yet, how long do I have to wait. โ€

Rahman was the first to feel anxious, he felt that he had lost face, as the king of a country, he had waited so long in the port stupidly, and let his people laugh.

As the king of a country, even if he is very tired, he must maintain the best image, he can sit down when he is tired, and he can also drink a glass of water to quench his thirst, but he must not be lazy, nor can he lie down, let alone take off the bulky royal clothes that represent his identity.

Because he started preparing in the morning, Rahman wore a little too much, and until noon, Li Ang did not arrive, so Rahman naturally felt that his body was very hot, which was the main reason why he was more anxious.

"King, our people predicted that Li Shilang and they would arrive early this morning, but there was some accident yesterday evening, Li Shilang temporarily took a fancy to a small town next to him, and stayed there for some time, so it will be late to come over, this news came just now, but they are really coming, soon."

The subordinate explained.

"Alright! We continue to wait. โ€

Rahman had no choice but to continue to wait.

Many of the onlookers who ate melons left, and some came back after leaving for a while.

However, these ordinary people don't have any pressure, they don't need to care too much about their image, just go to the ground when they are tired, and it is normal to be lazy, and even some low-level people choose to sleep on the ground directly, and let their companions call him when they see the excitement.

Charlemagne's subordinates were also waiting patiently in the crowd, and their task here was mainly to find out the situation in Datang, so they were very patient.

"King, a large number of ships are coming, it should be Li Shilang and them, they will be able to enter the port soon."

At noon, the Tang fleet led by Li An finally arrived in Moldova, the capital of the Rahman Kingdom.

Rahman breathed a sigh of relief and spoke, "Pass the order down and get everyone ready to meet them." โ€

After saying that, let the subordinates tidy up their clothes to make the final preparations for the reception.

Li An saw the welcoming crowd at the port of Moldova from a distance of several hundred steps, and the king's unique honor guard and various flags came into view.

"Haha! This formation is really not small! It seems that your king is very hospitable. โ€

Li An said.

Rahman's henchman heard this, and replied with a smile: "This is natural, you are the most distinguished guest from Datang, of course our king can't treat you like an ordinary guest, our king is also very yearning for Datang, in the future, maybe he will go to Datang in person to appreciate the splendid culture of Datang." โ€

"Haha! That's great, and when the time comes, I'll greet your king with such pomp and circumstance, as long as he can really go. โ€

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Talking and laughing, Ang Lee's fleet entered the port.

"Dear king, I have heard of the name for a long time."

Ang Lee spoke very politely first and gave Rahman a hug to show his attitude.

Rahman also said politely: "You are the most distinguished guest from Datang, we welcome you very much, the carriage and horses are ready, please get in the car!" โ€

Obviously, although Rahman's subordinates have learned a lot, they have not yet investigated Ang Lee's preferences, such a simple matter, and in any small country, Ang Lee has always only been his own car.

One is because of safety problems, and the other is that their vehicles are relatively comfortable, and the safety and bumpiness of the carriage are not very good, and the two are not comparable at all.

"The king had better wait! I have long been unaccustomed to riding in a carriage, and I believe that the king will not be used to making a carriage after he is used to riding in a carriage, it is too bumpy, and it is not safe enough. โ€

Li An said.

As soon as Li An's voice fell, various vehicles began to drive out one after another in the cabins of many ships in the Datang fleet, and the rumbling was very shocking.

Of course, these are the guard's ironclad cars, and Ang Lee's car is still behind, and these ironclad cars must open the way before they can ensure Ang Lee's absolute safety.

Watching these ironclad vehicles with long pipes drive freely onto land, everyone on the lookers was shocked, even Rahman, who had already received the news.

Li An said with a smile: "Everyone has done the carriage, but I dare to guarantee that the king must have never ridden in a car, why don't you try it together and see how my Datang car is?" โ€

"Okay, then let's try."

Rahman naturally won't refuse, he also wants to know what is going on with Datang's car, anyway, it is on his own turf, there is nothing to worry about.

With a wave of his hand, he let the carriage that had been prepared return by itself, so as to make more space to accommodate Datang's convoy.

At the moment of getting into the car, Rahman was frightened by a large group of iron bumps in front of him, when his subordinates reported before, he didn't believe it, but now after seeing it with his own eyes, he was really taken aback, Datang was really much stronger than he imagined, which made him extremely shocked.

Charlemagne's subordinates, who were hiding in the crowd, were also frightened by the scene in front of them, so many iron bumps, not only did they not see them, they almost never heard of them, after all, the place they were in was too remote, and the speed at which Li An traveled all the way was not too slow, so they did not know the situation of the Tang fleet in advance.

Under the watchful eye of a large crowd, the convoy set off for the palace, where the guards were crowded in front and back to prevent safety surprises.

"What does the king think of our Datang's car, which is still sitting steadily?"

In the back seat of the car, Ang Lee sat on the left, Rahman sat on the right, and in front of the driver and a subordinate of Rahman who was in charge of translation.

Rahman closed his eyes and felt it, and then nodded with great satisfaction: "Very comfortable, Datang's car is too comfortable, it is indeed much stronger than a carriage." โ€

In addition to sighing, Rahman also thought in his heart, when did Datang become so powerful, according to the news that his uncle told him a few years ago, there is not much difference between Datang and the Umayyad Dynasty, at most, the territory is larger, the culture is more splendid, and I have not heard that Datang has ironclad cars These strange things, but it has only been a few years of hard work, and the Tang Empire actually has ironclad cars, which is unimaginable.

"Haha! If the king likes it, he can buy some from Datang in the future, but this kind of vehicle needs to be on a smooth road surface to drive faster, so before buying a car, your road should also be repaired, the current road is too dilapidated, and it will still be bumpy if you drive fast. โ€

Ang Lee opened his mouth to sell business for Datang.

"This one can be sold, but what about the ones in front? Can it be sold too? โ€

Rahman asked with concern.

Li An thought for a moment and said: "This estimate is not good, the ironclad car in front is the most elite force in Datang, naturally it cannot be sold to others casually, we are sitting now, we can buy some in the future, however, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, maybe these vehicles in front of us will also be sold one day." โ€

For this problem, Li An has long thought about it, the ironclad car is the most elite force in the Tang Dynasty, and naturally it cannot be sold casually, but it is not impossible to sell some monkey versions of the ironclad car, as long as you can earn enough money, you should not give up, anyway, the technology of these ironclad cars is very complicated, and the small country that buys it has absolutely no strength to imitate it, and after it is used up, you can only buy a new one, so that the Tang Empire can continue to make money.

Moreover, the lack of offensive and defensive strength of the monkey version of the vehicle will not pose any threat to Datang's own soldiers and horses, and it can also reflect Datang's trust and support for friendly neighbors, which is not a bad thing.

For example, the arms trade in later generations is still very frequent, and many major countries will even sell their most elite weapons to their friendly countries, so as to improve the military strength of friendly countries, and at the same time, they can also earn a lot of money.

Of course, these things are not something that Li An alone can say, and it must be agreed by the imperial court, and according to Li An's observation, it is estimated that those pedantic old guys in the imperial court will never agree, after all, the power of this weapon is too great, only in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, is it a sharp weapon to deter the world, if such an advanced weapon is sold to other countries, it will be too dangerous.

Not to mention such a powerful weapon, even if it is a cold weapon like the Mo knife, these old guys in Datang still don't agree to sell it to other countries? This made Ang Lee have nothing to say.

To say that in the history of the Tang Dynasty, the Mo knife is a very powerful weapon, naturally it cannot be sold to other countries casually, but after Li An came to the Tang Dynasty, the situation has changed a lot, and the Tang Dynasty already has a more powerful weapon, but these old guys are still unwilling to give up the backward Mo knife, and they are not allowed to accompany the funeral and export sales, and the control is extremely strict.

Since ancient times, the most strictly controlled weapons in the Chinese Empire are mainly so few, such as armor and heavy ordnance, which are not allowed by ordinary people.

As far as Datang is concerned, armor, Mo knife, and crossbow are three kinds of weapons that cannot be owned by ordinary people, and the defense power of the ironclad car is far superior to that of armor, so they will naturally not be allowed to sell it to other countries.

Of course, these iron cars are nothing in Ang Lee's eyes, as long as Ang Lee is willing, he can develop and manufacture more advanced equipment at any time, so how can he care about selling some to other countries?

"Well, if we can, of course we would like to buy it, such a good car is much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage."

Rahman didn't hesitate to buy a car, after all, the car experience was so good, he just tried it, and he already liked it completely.
