In view of the popularity and shortage of enamel tableware in the Western Regions, some officials and forbidden troops who accompanied Li Shun's envoy did not resist this temptation, especially in Kangju and Daxia, the locals were even more crazy after seeing the enamel, and some merchants and nobles and even kings sent officials to carry large bags of gold to the envoys to ask for the purchase of their enamel equipment, so some people did not resist and sold their equipment and exchanged it for a large lump of gold.

But money is good, but life is not good.

On the next long journey, under the condition of extremely poor food and accommodation conditions, there was no enamel pot for cooking, no military kettle for boiling water, no tea jar for drinking water and eating, from Dawan to Kangju and then to Daxia, all the way thousands of miles down, many people fell ill on the road, and under the premise of lack of medical treatment, some people died holding the money bag containing gold.

Later, Li Shun had to strictly order everyone not to sell the enamel equipment, so the casualties along the way from Daxia to Sabbath were much smaller.

Seeing that they finally came to the Rest Empire, and they were warmly received by the king, Li Shun and the others quickly relaxed.

In the palace, Antiochus III hosted a banquet for Li Gui and others, and summoned the women of the palace to play songs and dances.

During the banquet, Antiochus III and some aristocratic officials also asked about some news of Daqin, and Li Gui and others introduced the customs of Daqin without humility or arrogance, and also warmly invited them to Daqin as guests.

This was the first time that the two great civilizational powers of the East and the West had come into direct contact.

Both sides were very warm and courteous.

After all, they don't know each other.

Even so, after all, both sides are big power figures who have seen the world.

Li Shun and others are from Daqin, and they have long been familiar with the situation of the Seven Kingdoms of China and the perennial fighting of tens of millions of people, and they have personally faced the sneak attack of the Yue people, and there are Taiyi Shenlei and Qinghe Marquis behind them, so they are not afraid at all in the face of the emperor of the Rest Empire, and they are calm and calm when they drink and eat meat and chat at the banquet, and the same is true for a group of officials and leaders of the forbidden army who came with them.

In the past 30 years, from a province of the Seleucid Empire through three generations of emperors to the largest empire connecting Europe and Asia, although it has not yet reached the peak of controlling the two river basins, it is also the time when the national strength is thriving.

Great Qin and Anxi, almost at the same time, rose and expanded at the same time, and at the same time faced many contradictions and threats inside and outside.

But Daqin is now open, and there is one more BUG character, Qinghe Hou Chen Xu.

Under the impetus of Chen Xu, the Great Qin Empire, which unified the rear car, the same track, the same text, the same system, and the implementation of the legal system, has now been swept away, and the Great Qin has ushered in an unprecedented peak of prosperity, and has long extended its tentacles to the edge of the West.

Now, the tentacle finally reached out over the mountains and touched another equally powerful and stout body.

Right now, the soul banquet on this tentacle was in the middle of unfolding the national letter of the Great Qin Emperor, standing in front of the Emperor of the Rest Empire and reading it aloud.

"I am the first emperor of the Great Qin, send envoys to visit your country, only for the friendship between the two countries, Great Qin is a country of hospitality and etiquette, in order to show my heart, I specially give your monarch a set of porcelain tea sets, a set of glass wine cups, ten horses of silk, two catties of tea, I hope that your country will treat our country's envoys well, and you can also send envoys to my Great Qin, send envoys to exchange trade and exchange, and forever form a good neighborly and friendly relationship!"

This edict of the first emperor was written by the Marquis of Qinghe himself, written very tactfully and low-key, mainly to express the friendship of trade with each other, read in Dawan, read in Kangju, read in Daxia, and now read it again as usual when it comes to rest.

If the edict had been drafted by other officials, it would have been aggressive.

However, it is not easy to predict the consequences of threatening others from tens of thousands of miles away, just some local decrees of the emperor of the mountains in the country of Great Qin are not very easy to make, rebellion and turmoil occur from time to time, and send a few envoys to threaten other people's kings, this should indeed be regarded as a relatively brainless behavior, not to mention that the two sides have almost no contact at all, and they don't know each other at all, just like you are playing well at home with your old skin, and suddenly a fool not only wants your money and woman, but also wants you to kneel and shout Dad, I'm afraid that I will be pressed to the ground and rubbed on the spot, and I will have to hang up to dry the body.

Therefore, the goal of Li Shun's Great Qin mission, which was purely to explore the way, was not to promote national prestige, but to explore the road and understand the strength and customs of various countries.

Therefore, Chen Xu decided to let the mission keep a low profile as much as possible, and also sent some local products from Daqin to express his courtesy.

Huaxia has always paid attention to courtesy before soldiers, and paid attention to convincing people with morality, and it is not Chen Xu's style to be sent to the door to be beaten so far.

So the First Emperor agreed to this letter after listening to Chen Xu's suggestion, but after all, he was the Emperor of Great Qin, he never won a quarrel, never lost a fight, and his mentality was also a little swollen with the support of Daqin's national strength, and he insisted on using the word 'ci' in the national letter to indicate the high status of Great Qin.

However, this kind of wordplay does not matter in Chen Xu's opinion, because those countries in the West do not know the difference between giving and giving.

Sure enough, after the simultaneous interpretation of a group of businessmen passed on by word of mouth three or five times, Li Shun and others no longer knew what the content of this letter was about, but they only understood the two foreign words of porcelain and glass that spread from Daqin.

Antiochus III and a group of ministers and nobles did not look unhappy after hearing this, but they all stood up excitedly and asked the interpreter to urge Li Shun and others to take out the gifts that the Great Qin Emperor had dedicated to them.

The two emperors of the East and the West tried to maintain their supremacy in writing, but the atmosphere instantly became lively and harmonious under the fucking translation and mutual tacit acquiescence.

Under Li Shun's arrangement, several officials of the embassy accompanied by the foreign minister went to the hotel where the envoy was staying to pick up gifts.

Half an hour later, several officials returned to the palace with the Foreign Secretary.

Several officials walked in front, each holding a square and exquisite wooden box, and Foreign Minister Agato's face was very solemn and cautious at this time, and he didn't dare to walk too fast, and even felt the blood in his body flowing rapidly.

He had just been at the hotel, and he had watched as several mission officials had the Janissaries carefully take out the beautifully made fragrant wood gift boxes from the layers of oilcloth and wooden boxes filled with corn grass.

These boxes are made of never-before-seen fragrant wood, covered with delicate patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish, and in addition to the gorgeous decorations inlaid with gold and jade pearl shells, there are also delicate copper fasteners and copper locks.

Therefore, when these gift boxes appeared in the palace, they immediately caused a commotion and exclamations from dozens of nobles and officials.

And Antiochus III couldn't help but stand up, staring straight at the gate of several mission officials entering the palace, and then at the beautiful wooden boxes placed on the desk in front of him.

Just by looking at the appearance of these wooden boxes, we know that this gift from the Great Qin Emperor must be very valuable, because these wooden boxes inlaid with luxurious ornaments and covered with delicate patterns are worth a lot of money at a glance.

Antiochus III was excited, but at the same time even more expectant, and he even felt that he could not control the urge to drool.

"Your Majesty, please look!" An official took out a key to open one of the wooden boxes, and the moment it was opened, a colorful light radiated under the sunlight shining through the window.

Antiochus III's body trembled violently, his eyes bulged out, and he looked straight at the items in the wooden box, his face was dull, and his mouth was open, as if his spirit had already floated out of his body.

As the king of a powerful empire, as the inheritor of an ancient civilization, Antiochus III was definitely not a rich man in the countryside, he had seen countless treasures, although the ancient civilization of the two river valleys had gradually collapsed, but the two powerful civilizations of Greece and Persia left behind countless exquisite treasures, but he had never seen this treasure more exquisite than porcelain in front of him.

Six crystal glass wine glasses, like the most precious treasure bestowed by the gods, lie quietly on the silk brocade of the five colors intertwined inside the box, transparent and flawless, shining seductively in the sun.

"Read hard, wow, wow, @%...... ￥#……”

After a long time, Antiochus III finally returned to his body, drooling excitedly and saying words that he did not understand at all, bending down to look at the six glasses carefully, and then touching them lightly with his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a crystal glass, you can pick it up and watch it......" the mission official said with a breezy face.

They had seen this many times on the way here.

The king of Dawan and Daxia behaved even more than Antioch, and it took half a pillar of incense to come back to his senses, and Harazi also flowed all over the ground.

No matter who is in the world, as long as he becomes a king, his wishes and extravagances have been very single and convergent, except for the desire for territory, that is, to collect the treasures of the world, Qin Shi Huang is no exception, and other monarchs are no exception.

The nobles and ministers sitting on both sides did not know what treasures were in the box, but the multicolored light reflected by the sunlight could still be faintly seen, and seeing the king's gaffe, all of them were as eager and uncomfortable as a cat's paw scratching, and they all stood up and looked at it.

"Crystal ...... Glass ......" Antiochus III twitched vigorously as he muttered these two new foreign words, trembling slightly under the encouraging eyes of his envoys, and finally reached out to pick up a crystal clear glass, and slowly raised it.

In the afternoon sunlight shining obliquely through the window, the crystal glass shimmered in the sunlight with a strange light, as if there was no clear sight, as if it existed in another time and space.
