Chapter 1037: He Lacks Virtue
The big cannibals are very good at business.
Their merchant ships traveled from Dashi to Da Song, and this road was their way to fortune.
They will not let go of every country, even the islands occupied by the natives, they will try to see if they can trade.
Years of trading and trade secrets passed down from generation to generation have allowed the Great Cannibals to control the sea trade for hundreds of years.
Merchants are the carriers of communication, and Zhenla people have also benefited a lot.
The most they bought from the hands of the Great Cannibals was the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as gold and silver.
There are big cannibals, and the Zhenla people feel that they can know the treasures of the world without leaving home.
So they are reserved......
Until a flash of light flashes.
Flashed the eyes of the real people present.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
It's a question that everyone wants to ask.
Wang Chi is no exception.
He shuddered.
What is this?
He slowly pulled the piece of fabric open, and light descended.
The bright sunlight shines on this mirror, and the light is reflected immediately, telling everyone in a more fiery way that I am a baby.
Everyone subconsciously reached out to block their eyes, but they were reluctant to block them all, and their eyes refused to leave the mirror for a moment.
"Oh......"
The lord groaned and said, "What is this? Tell me, what is this? β
Wang Chi didn't know, he was a little dazed.
"Let's take a look."
Li Ping was the first to come to his senses, he walked to the front of the mirror, and then he was also stunned.
In the mirror more than one person high, a delicate figure appeared.
"Is this so-and-so?"
He had never seen himself so clearly that he subconsciously jumped backwards.
"Terrible! It won't be ......"
He thought that this thing would suck his soul out, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong.
"It's ...... Mirror? β
He walked over again, squatted down, and then looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but praise: "This is the fairy baby!" β
The copper mirror is also very clear after grinding, but no matter how clear the copper mirror is, it will be ashamed of itself before this mirror.
"Too ...... It's unbelievable. β
"This mirror is shining as if it were fake."
"Stand up, be careful!"
The mirror was erected, and the lord in front of him saw himself standing.
"Oh......"
The lord of the country rubbed his eyes, almost unable to believe that there could be such a treasure in this world.
"What is this?"
He reached out tremblingly to touch the mirror.
Li Ping subconsciously waved her hand.
Syllable!
This slap was very real, and the back of the lord's hand was red.
"This mirror is still from Da Song."
Li Ping subconsciously wanted to keep this treasure and bring it back to the Great Song Dynasty.
The lord of the country did not feel that he was being despised at all, and he said without hesitation: "How much?" Say, how much? β
Wang Chi shook his head, "This is a priceless treasure. β
Yes, everyone thinks it's priceless.
"One thousand taels of gold!"
The lord of the kingdom did not hesitate to make an offer, and it was purchased with gold.
At this moment, the heavy copper coins were discarded, and the merchants thought of paper money.
If the Great Song Dynasty banknotes are popular in the world, then do we still need to bring copper coins when we go out to trade?
It's good to bring banknotes directly, how trouble-free?
"Master Wang, this treasure is willing to buy it."
Li Ping's attitude is telling the lord of the country that you are joking when you make this price.
Gold was not a currency in the Great Song Dynasty, but its long history as a precious metal has kept its price rising.
At present, the gold price of the Great Song Dynasty is six to eight guan, but it should be noted that this is the official price, that is, the official compulsory use of six to eight guan to buy one or two gold.
A thousand taels of gold is only six or seven thousand, and all the merchants present can take it out.
The lord shook his head and said very reservedly: "Two thousand taels." β
!
Wang Chi felt that this price was insulting the baby, so he leaned over and prepared to cover the mirror.
The lord gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand taels!" β
It's almost 20,000 yuan!
But Wang Chi just shook his head.
This is the first time that glass mirrors have appeared......
In the case of Shehui's reluctance and laziness, the glass mirror was finally made, but Shen An pressed down the baby again.
In his opinion, glass is making a lot of money on the tuyere, and throwing the mirror out at this time will only affect the profit of glass.
For the sake of profit, Shen An pressed down the mirror, but still let Wang Chi take one side to the sea, so as to make a profit.
But he underestimated the lethality of the glass mirror.
"This is the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty, a national treasure!"
Wang Chi felt that he should bring this thing back, and then asked Shen An why he wanted to sell such treasures.
He crouched on the side, looked in the mirror, and suddenly saw a row of words.
The words are at the bottom of the mirror, so small that he can't see them if it weren't for the angle.
ββThe most precious treasure in the world, only those who are virtuous can get it.
it!
Well, it's up to the person.
Wang Chi called the lord of the country, pointed to the row of words and said, "Look at the lord." β
The lord of the country can't understand it!
The interpreter translated, and the lord of the country did not hesitate to stretch out his palm, "Five thousand taels!" β
This one......
It's not cheap!
If this price is made into a bronze mirror, it can directly fill a merchant ship.
Wang Chi hesitated, and the lord patted him on the shoulder and said, "The rice in the country, you can load as much as you can!" Spices, give you 500 catties for free. β
Rice is produced in real wax, and it tastes quite good.
With the addition of spices, the price is intimidating.
Wang Chi slapped his thigh, "Okay!" β
Li Ping was already drooling on the side.
"Although Guixinhou didn't go to sea, with this treasure, he earned more money than all of us."
Five thousand taels of gold, rice Shen An definitely doesn't want, and the other is spices.
I'm rich!
The lord of the country asked someone to hand over the gold and other goods, and Wang Chi asked someone to carry the rice onto the ship, and then prepared to sail back.
The lord of the kingdom watched all this from the sidelines, and thought of the row of words in his heart.
The Song people said that the meaning of those words was ...... It's a treasure, and it takes a moral prowess to have it. β
The interpreter stood there, took the opportunity to look in the mirror, and felt beautiful.
The lord said, "Really? That is, this treasure will choose its own owner? β
He felt that this would increase the legitimacy of his rule.
Oh, yes!
This kind of treasure is mine, even if it costs a lot, but it's worth it!
But if the lord of the country knew that in Izumokan, this thing was not valuable, I am afraid that he would go crazy.
"No...... The Song people didn't say that. β
Seeing the increasingly crazy eyes of the lord, the interpreter took a step back.
"The Song people are leaving."
Wang Chi came, he arched his hand and said: "I'll wait for this and go back, if I go to sea next time, we will trade again at that time." β
The lord of the kingdom didn't care about anything else, so he asked, "Is it possible to bring such treasures again?" β
Wang Chi shook his head and nodded, "It should be difficult to get such things out, so the foreign ministers don't know." If there is, the foreign minister will bring it with him the next time he goes to sea. β
"Good!"
The lord felt that one side was not enough, and after a short period of research, he felt that it was best to put one side in front of him and one side behind his buttocks.
And then......
Hahahaha!
Now this mirror has become the favorite of the lord of the country, and he can take it wherever he goes.
In order not to be destroyed by others, the lord of the kingdom even equipped it with the most loyal guards.
When he saw Wang Chi on the warship, he turned around and looked at the mirror held by the two guards, and said intoxicatedly: "This kind of treasure is really dazzling!" β
He narcissistically looked at his figure in the mirror and asked, "Is it mighty?" β
"Mighty."
The officials were all praising the majesty of the lord, but they wanted to come over to see their heroism.
So everyone grinded over, you take a photo, I'll take a photo, it's not cool.
The lord of the kingdom did not stop when he saw it, he thought that he would face this mirror day and night, and that day would ...... Beautiful!
When he saw a very ugly official scratching his head in front of the mirror, the lord frowned and coughed dryly, and walked over.
He felt that it would be blasphemy to let this person look in the mirror.
"Get out!"
He drank the man away, and he was smug in his heart, but accidentally stepped on a small stone......
Then his body staggered towards the mirror.
He watched in horror as the mirror approached, and then his body crashed into it.
Bang!
The courtiers bit their fingers and watched in horror as the mirror shattered, and then shattered into countless pieces......
it!
The lord of the kingdom fell to the ground, his buttocks and thighs cut by splinters and unconscious.
He picked up a small piece of shard, looked at himself inside, and couldn't help but cry.
"It's providence!"
At this moment, the quality of glass and mirrors cannot be compared with that of later generations, and they will be broken if they are not careful.
Shen An's row of words is more like a clear of responsibility.
Zhenla Junchen was stunned, and someone murmured: "This is the will of heaven? β
"Isn't Providence forbidding Zhenla to possess such treasures?"
"Yes, look, Song Cai began to go offshore, and this treasure was broken, so it can be seen that that is right."
The lord of the country is still crying, on the one hand, heartache, on the other hand, panic.
Am I not ethical?
The thought kept flashing through him, and he feared that his rule would be unstable.
"Buy again! Buy again! β
The lord of the country got up and roared: "This kind of treasure should not be taken out, buy it again, go and tell the Song people, next time I will send it again, and at the same price, Zhenla will buy it." β
Someone rushed to the dock to shout.
Wang Chi and the others had already seen the scene where the lord of the country smashed the mirror, and they were all dumbfounded.
"This ...... Why did it shatter like that? β
This baby is too fragile, isn't it?
Someone muttered, "How does it look like crystal?" β
Wang Chi also felt very embarrassed, "What if the real people say that we lie to people?" β
The baby who was about to shoot was shattered as soon as it was hit, won't your conscience hurt?
He felt a little guilty of deception, and when he saw Zhenla Tongyi running to the dock, he couldn't help but say with a fierce look: "Don't think about Lao Tzu handing over the money you get." β
Someone on the side said, "Commander, isn't there a word on it?" It is said that the virtuous get it, and the lord of the country is crushed...... He lacks virtue! β
Wang Chi patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, he lacks virtue!" β
The interpreter shouted to the warship slowly leaving the shore: "The lord of the country said, next time I will bring treasures, the same price ......"
it!
Wang Chi blurted out: "This is going to be sent up to the pole for us to slaughter!" β
There are countries with such mallets, Wang Chi is already looking forward to the next overseas trade.
And the businessmen were even brighter, thinking that they would become extremely rich because of the sea trade......
"Long live the Great Song!"
Someone shouted in excitement.
"Long live the Great Song!"
