The envoys led by Longlihe originally thought that the outer city of Luoyang City, where the Lifan Yuan was located, was all of Luoyang, and thought that Luoyang City was so neat and clean.

Unexpectedly, the inner city of Luoyang City, that is, the imperial city, is better than the outer city.

The fresh air is the most basic, the roads are smooth, the streets are wide, you can see patrolling soldiers everywhere, the scenery is pleasant, there are many green plants, and there are very artistic and ornamental distributions in the city.

The stone slabs on the ground still have some patterns, which perfectly reflect the heritage of this ancient country.

The palace castle within the imperial city is even more majestic, and just a glance at it, you can see the power of the great power.

The black-armored army stationed in the imperial city is tall and strong, imposing, and well-equipped, and that kind of majesty really makes people dare not face each other head-on.

What an elite soldier.

This feeling is even stronger than those elite soldiers directly under the emperor in the Guishan Palace.

Longlico feels like that.

Although there is no gold and silver as decoration, no magnificence, and no words that can make people feel rich at a glance, the simple and solemn atmosphere with a strong sense of majesty can make people feel what a big country is, what an ancient country is, and what is pomp and circumstance.

All this was at the heart of the entire city, something that the envoys of the Kushan Empire had never seen.

Longlihe compared it a little.

On the one hand, it is magnificent and luxurious, on the other hand, it is simple and solemn and majestic, although you can feel at a glance who is richer, but in the field other than money, your own emperor is obviously at a loss.

The army of the Kushan Empire is said to be a large number of people, but it is really difficult to evaluate the combat effectiveness.

The army that swept through Kushan under the leadership of that emperor has now fallen into a state that even some vassal states cannot control.

Dawan, Flower Thorn Zimo and Kangju have all got rid of Guishan's fetters and rule, but Guishan can't do anything.

But thinking about the emperor who likes opulence and luxury, there is nothing Longlihe can do.

This meeting was not of an official nature, as they were not the true official emissaries of the Kushan Empire.

Just like the previous Emperor Guishan received Ma Yuan, he held a banquet and called some important ministers in power, which was regarded as a preliminary diplomatic intention between the two sides.

The other side did this, and according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, Guo should do the same.

Therefore, Guo personally attended this banquet and warmly entertained this group of envoys from the Kushan Empire.

Unlike the mentality of the small countries in the Western Regions who only want to take advantage, the gifts brought by the Kushan Empire are naturally different.

Just like the gift that Guo asked Ma Yuan to bring, Guishuang's gift was a world of difference compared to the small countries in the Western Regions.

These real things such as gold and silver.

Although it looks a little cheesy, it can really tell the elite rulers of the Wei Empire that the Kushan Empire is really rich.

There was money to the point where gold and silver were used as circulating currency.

The powers of the Wei Empire wanted to loudly mock these hillbillies who had nothing but money, but they took out too much gold and silver.

So the powers of the Wei Empire could only look at it and sigh.

Seeing the surprised looks on the faces of the rulers of the Wei Empire, Longlihe's heart was filled with a sense of pride.

Along the way, he learned a lot of things from Ma Yuan's mouth.

He learned that Ma Yuan was very envious of the Kushan Empire being so rich that it could use gold and silver as currency, but the Wei Empire was not.

Because the Wei Empire lacked gold and silver, it could not be officially circulated, and in the domestic market, only copper coins could be circulated.

However, copper coins are heavy and low in value, which is not conducive to long-distance bulk goods transactions, so everyone has to use silk or a small amount of gold and silver to make currency for bulk transactions, which is quite inconvenient.

If only the Wei Empire also had so much gold and silver.

Ma Yuan looked at Longlihe with envious eyes.

Longlico was delighted, especially on such an elegant and solemn occasion.

After feeling the inferiority complex of the inexplicable nouveau riche, the sense of pride and vanity caused by the bride price made him feel even more happy, and he even felt that he should bring more of these gifts so that the elites of the Wei Empire would be shocked.

Their goods are good, but they have no gold or silver, and they are poor.

Longlico suddenly had such a feeling.

Money is the truth of this world!

Gold and silver are symbols of truth!

I have money, I am the truth!

Longlihe yelled in his heart.

Guo is also greedy.

Seeing boxes of gold and silver coins, he was really greedy!

The golden and silver brilliance stimulated his heart.

The conscience of heaven and earth, if he could have a railway now, he would immediately let Zhang Fei take 50,000 soldiers to Guishan by train to rob them, and rob them of all the gold and silver in the country!

Oh gold!

Silver!

The image of the extravagant and generous emperors of the Western Han Dynasty in Guo's heart suddenly became extremely dark.

Especially Liu Che, tens of thousands of catties and hundreds of thousands of catties went out to reward gold.

Loser!!

Even if it's a pound, that's a lot of gold!

gave all the rewards, and then brought them to the cemetery for burial, which made Guo's eyes red for lack of gold.

For a moment, he really wanted to immediately order the Linzi camp to send a team of men out to rob the tomb and go out to make gold.

The gold that had been taken underground and buried was put back into circulation.

After holding back the desire to dig up someone's ancestral grave with difficulty, Guo became more and more firm in his beliefs.

No, the Silk Road must be opened, and a large number of people must go out to do business and earn real money back.

Guo wants gold and silver, lots and lots of gold and silver!

Compared with this box of gold and silver, other gifts are much more prosaic, and Guo doesn't value them.

However, looking at the face of this box of gold and silver, Guo still received these guests from afar very kindly.

Receiving them with good wine, singing and dancing, as well as exquisite food, made them feel that although the Central Empire did not have much gold and silver, its cultural soft power was unprecedented.

Sure enough, the guys were intoxicated by the elegant music and soft dance, and they couldn't take their eyes off each one as they watched the dancers dance to the music.

They indulged in singing and dancing and women, and were sent away drunk when the feast was over.

At this time, Guo was thinking about what kind of goods should be used to harvest their gold and silver on a larger scale.

Silk can.

Iron pots can.

The former can become a necessity for communication in the upper class, and it can be sold at the price of gold.

The latter will become a necessity for businessmen, military and other units and individuals who need to travel far away, and not only that, but it may also be popularized to the private sector in the future.

If you can spread the Chinese food culture and let them start to learn how to eat with chopsticks and bowls, they can make another amount of money.

Porcelain can also be a popular and lucrative commodity.

Guo suddenly felt that he had treasures in his hands, but it would really take a long time to exchange these treasures for money.

Money, money, Guo is about to have a nervous breakdown when he thinks about money.

All in all, before the commercial cooperation with the Kushan Empire is in full swing, all the commodities that can be exported nationwide must be arranged.

Representative products such as silk, porcelain, lacquerware, iron pots and even incense can seize the market of the Kushan Empire and even the Roman Empire on a large scale, and export them in an all-round way.

Anyway, Guo definitely doesn't think that China's specialty goods can't be used to make money abroad.

And after these commodities were settled, Guo suddenly thought of the hero and legendary commodity that had created a high foreign exchange for ancient China - tea.
