"The Romans said: In addition to the white pearls, they have better products and porli, and they are merchants from Venice, this one is called Niccolò, the other is called Matteo, and one has been killed on the way." Ye Qing glanced at Shi Miyuan, whose face was beginning to become gloomy, and glanced at the two Romans who were standing at the front and said.

Europeans' love for glass and crystal, just like the Chinese nation's love for porcelain, also clearly reflects the differences and particularities between Eastern and Western cultures.

Before the appearance of Yuan blue and white porcelain, people's development of monochrome porcelain had reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the pursuit of fetal quality, transparency and brightness, and the pursuit of shape became more and more demanding.

At this time, the European glass craftsmanship was also on the premise of pursuing the fetal quality, and more focused on the pursuit of color, and the colorful glass products won their favor, and they were naturally the national treasures that the Venetian merchants were proud of.

One is more focused on the colorful beauty of humanistic processing, and the other is obviously more focused on the gentle and jade-like beauty of Taoism and nature.

"Oh, what kind of product?" Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, even if he was in the apse just now, the tongue man Wei Zhao talked with those Romans for a long time, and those Romans had always had a trace of solemnity on their faces, and they seemed quite vigilant, and they didn't take out the things at the bottom of the box like now.

As Ye Qing looked at a few Roman merchants with a smile, and then with the words that even the tongue man Wei Zhao could understand, when he spoke to those Romans, Shi Miyuan's expression on the main hall was even more gloomy and solemn.

Looking at the attentive appearance of those few people when Ye Qing spoke, it was obvious that those Romans could fully understand the words in Ye Qing's mouth as if they were chanting scriptures.

This made him feel a trace of worry and uneasiness in his heart instantly, he and the tongue man Wei Zhao have been hoping to get the Romans' technology of Poli for these days, but the communication between the tongue man Wei Zhao and the Romans is not smooth, and these Romans have been vigilant, so this matter has not progressed.

But today, Ye Qing was able to talk fluently with the Romans, which made Shi Miyuan have to worry in his heart, whether Ye Qing would steal the Poli manufacturing technology in the hands of the Romans because of this, so that he would end up working in vain.

Zhao Gou's expression was calm and smiling, watching Ye Qing talk to the Romans, wondering why Ye Qing knew those foreign words, but also hoping that those Romans could come up with better foreign items.

The Queen Mother, the Empress, King Xin, Princess Xin, especially Li Fengniang, who was sitting with the crown prince, felt like a monstrous wave in her heart at this time, she couldn't imagine that Ye Qing, who seemed to be easy-going on weekdays, but was actually ruthless and unlearned, would actually communicate with the Romans with their words, which completely subverted her previous perception of Ye Qing.

The six courtiers in the main hall, except for Han Cheng, who was secretly frightened at the moment, but did not feel a threat to him or even a little relieved, the rest of the courtiers except for Li Dao still had a smug look on his face, and some of them were like Shi Miyuan, with a dignified look on their faces, or they were a little dumbfounded, watching Ye Qing talk to those Romans in disbelief.

"Most of the goods they brought from Rome, except for a few goods in Lin'an such as Yun Baizhu, were also placed in a secret place in Quanzhou, but they didn't bring them because they couldn't understand our Song dialect and didn't trust Shi Shilang. For example, there were sake glasses that they called "containers of light", and so on, but they didn't bring all of them, but they only secretly brought three or five pieces. Ye Qing nodded to the Romans, then looked at Zhao Gou and said.

"Where is this thing now?" Zhao Gou blurted out and asked, obviously his attention was all focused on the treasures brought by the Romans, and he didn't pay attention to what Ye Qing said, why the Romans didn't trust Shi Miyuan, but would tell Ye Qing the truth.

Zhao Yan obviously didn't put his mind on the so-called treasures brought by the Romans, but kept looking at Ye Qing with approval in his eyes, since Ye Qing started talking to those Romans, Zhao Yan felt more and more that Ye Qing was a rare talent.

"It's in the post house, but because the City Boss has threatened their lives, they are reluctant to take it out for the time being, because they need the promise of the Holy Lord and the Emperor Taishang, promising not to kill them, they will take it out." Ye Qing smiled, and said as he swept Shi Miyuan's increasingly gloomy face.

As Zhao Yan and Zhao Gou moved their eyes to the Romans again, Ye Qing once again said to the Romans in front of everyone: "You Venetian merchants are used to traveling south and north, I believe you are not stupid, you know that the emperor and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty are the highest, and if you want to save your own lives, then you have to kneel down and talk to the emperor and the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty according to the etiquette of my Great Song Dynasty." Instead of prevaricating us with what you think is the most honorable etiquette. ”

Niccolò, who was full of beard, frowned, they knew early on that this was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the Emperor Taishang, but because of the language barrier, they were also happy to pretend to be stupid and not kneel, so even now, they have not even knelt for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Listening to Ye Qing's words, Niccolò looked at Matteo next to him, among the several people, it was the two of them who were the leaders, so without waiting for Niccolò to speak, Matteo firmly refused: "Because you understand our language, we are very kind to you, and we will tell you our secret." But kneeling is the etiquette of your Song Kingdom, not the etiquette of our Romans, and we will not do it according to your etiquette. Moreover, if your emperor wants to get his hands on our treasures, he will never kill us, because you will not find out where we have hidden them. ”

Ye Qing smiled disdainfully and said, "As far as your so-called treasures are concerned, they may be worth some money in the eyes of others in my Great Song Dynasty, and they can be regarded as treasures, but in my eyes, they are just a pile of garbage." Don't think I don't know the secrets of your Venetians, all your glass comes from a small island called Murano, because you are afraid that your glass craftsmanship will leak out, so you put all of them in Murano, and guard them heavily, I am afraid that you don't know about it, but you just buy some finished products to trade. ”

Niccolò, who was full of beard, looked at Ye Qing and said hurriedly: "Could it be that you have been to Venice?" Why do you know this? ”

"Because glass has no secret to me at all, not to mention because of cultural differences, the glass treasure in your eyes, in our eyes, just like your original opinion of my Great Song Dynasty porcelain, must be extremely ugly, right?" Ye Qing still asked with an easy-going smile.

"If we kneel down to your emperor and offer all our treasures, can you guarantee our lives? Can you bring us great wealth and bring us back to Rome? Niccolò's brow was still furrowed, but it was much lighter than the nervousness he had just looked.

As for Ye Qing's words about knowing the glass process, they chose to believe it unconditionally, because in their opinion, since this Oriental knew about the island of Murano, and also knew that the Romans had placed all the craftsmen on the island and sent heavy troops to guard it, it was enough to show that his words were true.

Although Matteo didn't quite believe what Ye Qing said about knowing the glass process, with Ye Qing's next words, Matteo had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Yan and Zhao Gou.

"I can guarantee your lives, but you must do what I say. Otherwise, you won't be able to return to Rome. Ye Qing nodded seriously.

"How do you guarantee it?" Niccolò asked with a frown.

"It's very simple, I will work with you to make glass products that are suitable for my Great Song people, and then ......." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"It's impossible, as you know, we just bought some glass from Murano and came here to do business, but we didn't know how to make glass, because Murano is not accessible to everyone." Matteo didn't wait for Ye Qing to finish speaking, then refused.

"I know how to do it, I just need to use your name." Ye Qing ignored Zhao Gou's continuous urging and Shi Miyuan's eyes as if he was holding a knife.

Matteo and Niccolò looked at Ye Qing with some suspicion, hesitated and stammered, "Do you really know how to make glass?" ”

"I'd be happy to tell you what I know, and even bring you back to your Rome. Of course, the condition is that in the next period of my Great Song Dynasty, you must absolutely obey my words and not disobey me at all. In addition to Zhao Gou's occasional urging in the main hall, it was the sound of Ye Qing's conversation with Matteo and Niccolò.

The people in the main hall were as confused and ignorant as if they were falling into a fog, and they were not at all confused about the words of Ye Qing and the others.

Under Shi Miyuan's eyes, Wei Zhao, the tongue man, wanted to hear the few words he could understand, but in the end, Ye Qing's conversation with the Romans was fast and urgent, which made him not even know what Ye Qing was talking about.

And when everyone was in a daze, I saw Niccolò and Matteo say a few words to their companions, and then said thank you to Ye Qing, and then suddenly faced Zhao Yan and Zhao Gou and began to bow three times and nine bows.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Gou were not prepared at all, looking at the few blue-eyed and yellow-haired Romans, who suddenly knelt down and saluted the two of them, they were all startled and almost stood up from their chairs.

(ps: I apologized for this time, I'm sorry, I've been broken for so long, I'm trying.) Since the last yellow card, there has been a feeling of intermittentness, so it is difficult to make mistakes. I wish you all a happy and happy Year of the Pig, and don't worry about me. ）
