Chapter 1854: Trade Fair (II)
As we said earlier, those alien races are different from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty implements the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, the centralized system, and there is no strong military strength in various places, only Chang'an is surrounded by sixteen guards, and the sixteen guards are the most elite forces of the Tang Dynasty.
But those alien races are different, although the king of their country also bears the name of the emperor, but he does not have as much power as Li Chengqian, there are many princes under the emperor, these princes have their own territory, on the surface they are subordinate to the emperor, but in fact they are all people who do not listen to the noise.
These princes have their own armies, and they are independent in taxes and everything, so it's good if they meet an emperor who is a little cowardly. If you encounter a pervert or a stronger one, it will be miserable, there are countless troubles in keeping, and it is not good to be destroyed by the emperor sending troops.
Therefore, these people extremely hope to find what they need from Datang, such as weapons, such as soldiers, which are needed by those foreign nobles.
Of course, in addition to these other things, they also want to get, after all, everyone has the right to pursue better and have fewer children, which is the same for all people who come to the welcome building.
However, the purchase of weapons was only an information that Xiao Wu had inadvertently revealed, and this was not a matter suitable for discussion in public, so after only a short period of surprise, the big nobles and big businessmen of those foreign races returned to normal, as if they had never heard Xiao Wu's words just now.
After putting down the matter of weapons and equipment, the businessmen's flexible brains quickly got to the point, and someone raised his hand and asked loudly: "Your Royal Highness, we want to buy the kind of bulldozers and tractors in your country, I don't know if it?!" ”
"Of course this can be discussed, but the price is not cheap, this gentleman should think about it carefully, don't lose money after buying it back!" Xiao Wu smiled slightly and said jokingly.
Of course, the people below knew that Xiao Wu was joking, and laughed a few times: "The imperial concubine said that she was joking!" You know that people like us won't let themselves lose money! ”
"Okay, today's meeting will officially begin, I believe everyone is in a hurry, we won't delay everyone's time, everyone, farewell!" Changle saw that things had begun to get on the right track, so he had no intention of continuing to stay, nodded slightly to the people below, and left slowly with Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu, accompanied by a group of maids.
Their identities are too sensitive, staying in this kind of place for a long time will not do any good except to attract criticism, and the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty are not the same as those of those foreign races, so the two of them simply showed up and returned to the palace.
But then again, although most of the people who came this time were nobles, if they really talked about their identities, they were actually not particularly prominent, and they wanted the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial concubine to accompany them, it is estimated that even if they knelt down and begged each other, the two women might not be able to look at each other squarely.
It's just that these people are also self-aware, they know very well that they are some pioneer officers who come to explore the way, and the real bigwigs will only travel alone if they want to come, and they will definitely not mix with them.
So these people didn't expect the eldest grandson and Xiao Wu to stay forever, and even they wished that the two daughters would leave quickly, so that they could give up this place to them, so that they could talk about business freely.
……
The words are divided into two ends, not to mention that Changle and Xiao Wu discussed the next plans after returning to the palace, but said that the welcome building where businessmen gathered.
After the two royal families left, everyone was obviously much more relaxed and natural, whether it was people of different races or people from the Tang Dynasty, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then, in a soft and soothing sound, they began to talk to each other.
The Byzantines and the Tang Dynasty have never had any conflict, so they are the most natural group of people in this negotiation, and Hadrink, as the leader of the Byzantines, is also like a fish in water in the crowd.
And accompanying him was Peng Cheng, a rookie who had just been promoted by Li Chengqian.
This guy has been helping Changle before, and when it was inconvenient for Changle to come forward, he was the spokesperson.
"Master Peng, I have heard people say how rich and powerful Datang is, but I really didn't know until I arrived in Datang, and those rumors are not enough to describe Datang!" Hadlink held up the delicate glass in his hand, the crimson liquor rippling in the glass.
Peng Cheng naturally didn't understand his words, but out of politeness, he still listened to his speech with a smile, and after understanding his meaning under the explanations of the translator, he said with a smile: "Hadrinkxian, there is an idiom in Datang, it is better to be famous than to meet, which refers to what Mr. just said!" ”
"It's better to be famous than to meet?" Hadlink repeated it word by word in stiff official words, smacking his lips and saying, "I don't know who said this, but it is really well summarized." ”
"There are many such idioms in Datang, but most of them can't be traced to their origins." Peng Cheng shook his head and sighed before continuing to ask, "Mr. Hadlink, I don't know what Byzantium plans to purchase from Datang this time?" If you don't mind, can you tell me? I know a lot of wealthy businessmen in Datang, and I should be able to help introduce them. ”
Hadlink was overjoyed after hearing Peng Cheng's words, and said with a laugh: "Hahaha...... that's great, just now I was thinking about how to solve this problem, and now with Master Peng's help, it's really good." ”
"Then let's go, there are a few of the most wealthy businessmen in Datang over there, mainly dealing in silk, porcelain, and some glass products, these people have a deep background, and they should meet some of your needs."
"That's great, Lord Peng, please!" Hadlink gestured with a sincere smile on his face.
You must know that before coming here, the nobles and businessmen of various countries had actually communicated, what their country needed, and what Datang was worth shipping to their own country, these have already been communicated.
After all, they came to Datang to represent their own country, a complete mission rather than a group of stragglers, if they didn't even have their own opinions, wouldn't it be a joke for other countries.
So Hadlink knew very well what he needed, and Peng Cheng's introduction was exactly what he wanted.
So this old man followed Peng Cheng to the middle of a group of Tang businessmen, and chatted happily with those guys who had been waiting for him for a long time.
