In order to explain the business experience to several veterans in person, Li Kuan deliberately changed his new appearance.

On his feet are a pair of black leather boots that can reflect the figure, and looking up, the sky blue tight over-the-knee trench coat sets off the small body neatly. A row of golden buttons on his chest is dizzy, and near a pair of white little hands, the two cuffs are each dotted with three gold buttons. The delicate little face, lined with the slightly casual ball head on the head, and the slight smile on the face, make people feel a kindness that hits the soul.

This kind of two-dimensional style that is extremely beautiful directly shocked the Tang Dynasty turtles present.

Seeing this smile that could almost melt the heart, the three great cannibals bowed to the ground again. They no longer doubt the words of those Tang people, this is the angel who came to the world! Such a warm smile, they have never seen it in the world!

"The noble king of the Tang Dynasty, the great food merchant Shi Wanli, I would like to extend my highest respect to you!"

"Shi Wanli?! Your Tang dialect is good, and the name is good. Li Kuan raised his hand and helped him, and the three of them were straightened by the magical power: "You are a big cannibal?" Well, wasn't that bearded Muhammad just doing something in that area? ”

Shi Wanli looked shocked: "Honorable king! Do you also know the Prophet Muhammad? ”

Li Kuan smiled and waved his hand: "What a prophet!" That is, to deceive you poor people...... Forget it, don't mention him. Datang is a tolerant place, we don't care about your beliefs, but we don't allow you to denigrate our own beliefs. No matter where you come from or which god you worship, here we can live together peacefully. In the words of those literati, it is called seeking common ground while reserving differences! Do you understand? ”

Shi Wanli knelt down again, his face was brushed into a stream with tears: "Honorable king! Your heart is as boundless as the sky, and your will is as deep as the ocean. I am willing to offer you the most pious offering! ”

Afterwards, the three big cannibals sang a ballad in unison in a very strange tone.

Li Kuan remained silent, but Su Lie, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Zhao Yuanjing and others were all moved, this was a kind of allegiance ceremony they had heard mentioned. But I have never seen anyone who has done this kind of ritual to anyone. But these guys, who traveled tens of thousands of miles, and the first time they saw the prince, they actually surrendered!

The prince is the prince in the end!

The so-called allegiance is nothing more than the pursuit of higher profits. Businessmen also talk about loyalty? Are you trying to tease me!

Li Kuan understands very well that this is just a kind of recognition. But this kind of heartfelt recognition is more acceptable than using a knife holder to make people surrender on their necks. Obviously, these people are poor worms who have been pitted by Mu Dabeard's set.

After waiting for the three Hu people to finish performing, Li Kuan ordered a banquet.

"Come on, serve tea! You are the first caravan to set foot on this land since the restoration of order in Liangzhou. Therefore, this king gives you the most favorable treatment. ”

Shi Wanli and the three of them knelt down behind the table very carefully, and said after considering the words: "Venerable King, we have brought frosting sweeter than honey and whiter than snow this time. We are willing to offer all these frostings to the noble King. I hope that the noble king will give us a little tea or silk, as long as it can support the cost of returning to our homeland. ”

Li Kuan was almost amused, people in these years are really simple, and even that little bit of caution is on his face. Also, what did the Han people in the Central Plains do in the past to make these foreign businessmen have such an illusion?

At this time, several maids held silver stainless steel trays to serve tea. As soon as they saw the tea set on the tray, everyone was messy.

The teapots and cups are all white porcelain, and there are three exquisite small cups next to the teapot. In the black clay pot, there is sugar-like snowflakes; In the sky-blue porcelain bowl, there is crystal clear rock sugar; In the transparent glass cup, there are loose and slender fried tea leaves.

In these years, no one has ever seen such exquisite utensils and food, and they are deliberately placed in contrasting techniques to make the color more vivid and the effect more shocking. The four generals and assassins who enjoyed the same treatment were also frightened by the prince's generosity and were speechless. I didn't even dare to make tea, so I could only wait for the maid to do it.

Shi Wanli couldn't believe what he saw, and he didn't care about the rudeness, so he pinched the sugar in the cup with his hand, tasted it carefully, and burst into tears again.

"Your Majesty! Your kingdom is the abode of the gods, and I am not worthy of such a beautiful tea set......"

Where is the problem of tea sets, no matter how fine the porcelain, it will not affect his interests. These porcelain and crystal wares are priceless treasures at a glance, and he can't even think of them.

The key is that the two kinds of sugar, the sweetness and crystal structure beyond imagination, destroyed the only bit of confidence in Shi Wanli's heart. Datang has such exquisite sugar, and the color of the goods in his mouth is like shit compared to this. What's going on!

Li Kuan smiled and said, "This king knows that your hometown is not as peaceful as you say. And this king knows that the goods you have brought are not as good as you have boasted. But it doesn't matter, Datang is big. Lots of things needed and we had such beautiful utensils and refreshments. But in the same way, we also need other levels of common utensils and food that ordinary people can afford. So you can rest assured, no matter what grade your goods are. For the first goods you bring to Liangzhou and Datang, this king will give you gifts that are enough to satisfy you. ”

"O noble king, your most pious servant, Shi Wanli, confess to you. Our hometown has long been burned to the ground by the flames of war. In order to save our lives, we did not dare to go back. They can only trade in Tianzhu, Persia, and Tocharo, and those who have no homeland are like duckweed without roots, and can only wander around......"

Listening to Shi Wanli's narration, Li Kuan also knew a little more about these places. The three veterans who sat with him, Cheng, Niu, and Su, were at the same time brightened their eyes, and their demeanor became more amiable when they looked at Shi Wanli, and they admired the prince's foresight more and more. No wonder the prince values these people so much, with such a team of merchants in hand, it is even more important than the spies specially sent by his own family.

After listening to Shi Wanli's history of blood and tears, Li Kuan comforted: "Now the winter is cold, and the snow has interrupted the trade route. You can stay in Liangzhou City with peace of mind, go around more, and see more. It's never too late to wait until the snow melts next year and then return! Well, you can't let go of it here. I went back to the post house to rest for the time being, and relaxed my mind to stay. All expenses should be paid by the king! Those sets of tea sets are brought back, which is a welcome gift from this king to you! ”

Wow! This one? Shi Wanli really wondered if he had hallucinations, what the king said was to give us these priceless treasures? Oh, my God! Don't say three sets, it's just one set, no! It's just one, even if any one is taken to Tianzhu and Persia, it can be exchanged for a street!

The three Hu people were so excited that they didn't know what to say, so they hummed and chirped on the ground for a long time, before Zhao Yuanjing was next to him, carefully holding the wooden box specially made for the tea set, and left step by step.

As soon as Hu Ren left, the three veterans looked at Li Kuan and rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his face that was extremely inconsistent with his identity.

Li Kuan smiled: "A few sets of tea sets...... Yes, I see. And what is before you is given to you. But I'll make three wooden boxes, and you can find your own stuff. Broken no matter what! ”

"How can it be broken!" Cheng Biting Jin jumped up anxiously: "Which turtle son dares to break one and hang him to the flagpole to dry!" ”

Niu Jinda sighed: "Such a treasure, it is not your Royal Highness's business." Those mustaches are earned! Damn, 10,000 catties of sugar, I can't even exchange this black pottery! ”

Su Lie picked up the teacup with the posture of holding the confinement baby, and admired the translucent tea soup in the cup: "Obediently, those mustaches are here, and I am not embarrassed to drink tea." Drinking tea with such a treasure will cause more evil! Tsk, it's sweet when it's cold! How much sugar is this, what a loser! ”

That's right, sugar! Isn't today's topic a big cannibal with 10,000 catties of sugar? Why didn't you say a word from beginning to end, and it just passed? This, although those beards were loyal, and said that they would give sugar to the prince, but the prince gave out three sets of tea sets, which was a loss!

Li Kuan smiled: "When those guys put the sugar into the warehouse, they will all pull it back." I'll take half of it back to Beijing, and I'll give you the rest. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's two bull's eyes were round: "Your Highness, do you also purify the icing?" Can that gray sugar ......?"

Li Kuan pointed to the white sugar and rock sugar in their cups: "Otherwise, what do you think it's made of?" But don't think about sugar, I'll leave it to someone else. ”

Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "There is sugarcane in Lingnan that can be squeezed for gray sugar, and Feng Ang has made a lot of money from this over the years." If it can be refined into frosting, this old man dares to plant the whole of Lingnan into sugarcane! ”

Niu Jinda thought thoughtfully: "Hey, if Feng Ang can only squeeze gray sugar, wouldn't he have to send it to the door obediently to be rubbed?!" ”

In the end, he is a veteran, and he can see the key points at a glance. For Li Kuan, the reunification of the Tang Dynasty is only the first step in the long march of 10,000 miles, and his purpose is to unify his beliefs and collect merit all over the world! And in order to achieve this great goal, it is first necessary to raise the strength to the extent that it is enough to suppress all kinds of disobedience.

Li Kuan's generosity didn't wait for the next day to have feedback. As soon as Shi Wanli returned to the post house, he directly gave all the goods he brought, including tens of thousands of catties of slightly yellow frosting, hundreds of Flynn gold coins, hundreds of catties of Uzi steel, and more than 1,000 catties of spices, all of which were given to the "noble king".

Even so, several veterans still feel that it is too much of a loss. If I hadn't gotten a set myself, I might have attacked those guys.

Then the next day, something shocking happened. Shi Wanli and the others actually sent the three sets of tea sets back to Su Mansion. They only left three black pottery teacups and two kinds of sugar, and even the loose fried tea leaves were sent back!
