Just as Gawain was about to leave for Fort Medens, to meet with Bohemond, who was "eagerly awaited there", Zhao Zhao, who had just arrived in front of the gate of Tarsus, respectfully handed a stab to the guards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guard also bowed to Zhao Zhao, he really had never seen such an elegant person, whether it was a nobleman or a businessman.

The name of the stab was sent to Anna and Gao Wen's hands, and the regular script written on it was neatly written, "Zhao Zhao, who tried to pass through Zhilang (because he was famous in business, was titled), I would like to arrive at Hou Shen Sandao to defend the envoy Gao Gong's text, listen to the decree, and be cautious." ”

As a result, Gawain was stunned, and Anna was very curious, she was attracted by the text on the thorn, because Greek and Saracen also pay attention to calligraphy, and Anna can fully feel the essence of this font, "Can such a person speak Greek?" "Because according to her knowledge and pride, those who could not speak and write Greek were barbarians, so when Gawain could now read and write, Anna rarely called him a great barbarian in public.

"Honorable envoy, what kind of message and request did you bring with you?" When Zhao Zhao walked into the hall, bowed very gracefully and sat down, Anna behind the curtain took the lead in asking questions, and Gawain sat next to him and watched first.

Then Zhao Zhao's expression was indifferent, and he didn't answer, because he didn't understand what the princess said, "This is the princess of the breeze, and the one in purple is the most expensive, although her appearance is beautiful, it is a pity that what she says seems to be the same bird." This is what Zhao Zhao said in Chinese to the long-bearded slave who came with him.

So the princess could only rely on the translation of the communication, "Your Excellency Everder, the Governor of the Privy Council of Malopa, wishes to end the war with you and maintain trade. ”

When she said this, the princess immediately suppressed the arrogant sentence "Do you know Greek", and she could feel in the tone of the merchant envoy's conversation that the civilization he came from was by no means inferior to Rome - this was the first time that Anna, a Roman princess, received outsiders, and surprised both Hertomia and Agnes beside her.

"That's all right, I have made an agreement with the Venetians and Amalfi that even if war breaks out in Jerusalem, I will still trade with His Excellency Everdall, and I will arbitrate this war as soon as possible, and in the future maintain the border between Ashkelon and the mountains of Judah, and not invade each other." Before Anna could answer, Gao Wen's huge figure turned out from behind the curtain, and Zhao Zhao realized that this was the "Minister Gao Gongwen" he had longed for a long time, so he hurriedly got up and bowed down, and Gao Wen hurriedly walked down the steps to support him.

Then the guests and the host talked very happily, and Zhao Zhao also felt relaxed after completing the mission - Gao Gong was really a straightforward and generous hero, and heard that Gao Wen and Anna had just swallowed, so they hurriedly presented the gifts, "The contemptible people are ashamed, they are trapped in the science field, and there is no way to advance, and the rear follows the Aledse (Israel) caravan by sea, first to Sujdan (Java Island), Pengaro (Bengal), and then to the shore with the wind, to Persia, Maga (Mecca), and then to the land of Malopat." However, most of the trade in Malopus was occupied by the Aledsers, and the privy envoy Everdelle tried to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it was not easy to open up the situation there. ”

"Well, I'll set aside a special port for you in Seleucia, and lease you two warehouses at a low price for five years. In exchange, you can present your valuable gifts, and if the gifts are good, then I can consider giving you exclusive rights to certain supplies, such as lake salt or saffron. After the communication channel struggled to explain the conversation between the two, Zhao Zhao was flattered, so he asked the long-bearded slave to take out a box with a partition, "The contemptible gift is not just as simple as a mane and a mane technique. ”

Then Anna also stood up curiously behind the curtain, and she could see clearly that Zhao Zhao's box was filled with bright and bright grain seeds, "millet on one side and rice on the other." The former was purchased by the contemptible people from Tianzhu, and the latter was purchased by the contemptible people from the occupied city. ”

"Please tell us a little bit about the difference between millet and the buckwheat we promote." Anna asked politely.

"Millet is the most hardy by nature, and the plateau hills to the north of most of the numbers are particularly suitable for the promotion of this grain. In addition, Ji is the god of ceres, which also shows that they do not choose the earth, the sky and the water, they are not chosen for the three, and they are easy to live and easy to live, which is quite the temperament of the Buddha. I view the border area of the past is mostly bitter cold mountain, this thing can be used as the capital of the military tun, the valley can be eaten, can also be wined, its grass can eat war horses and beasts, one fell swoop. ”

This explanation made Anna and Gawain very happy, and Zhao Zhao said the benefits of rice seeds, "The radius of Dashu (Tarsus) is mostly a land of plains and rivers, which is suitable for mixed cultivation of rice and wheat. ”

"I also know the beauty of rice, but many rivers are silted up, not connected to each other, and irrigation is not effective, so I have never dared to plant rice, because growing rice is the most labor-intensive and water-intensive." Gawain said embarrassed.

"It's okay, you can mow a few reed fields along the river first, and plant this thing a little, one to see the success or failure, and the other is to choose good seeds." Zhao Zhao is very optimistic.

Next, the Oriental merchant offered a citrus sapling, "a lot of gifts, but not like that!" This is Zhao Zhao's self-admiration, presumably he came to Tarsus, he has investigated a lot of terroir in detail, "After a little Xianggong can call the common people, each household in the mulberry tree and plant this thing, can also be concentrated in the farm nursery cultivation, in the eyes of the contemptible, citrus this thing is most suitable for planting in the majority, its fruit is sweet and delicious, multi-functional, if it is cultivated, after a little public can be firmly in power." After speaking, Zhao Zhao was afraid that Princess Fu and Gao Xianggong would not believe it, so he presented a vermilion ripe citrus fruit, Gao Wen laughed, took it and handed it to Anna, who had some index fingers behind the curtain, "Eating this is especially good for pregnant women." ”

But between her skirt and her knees, Anna, who was holding the citrus fruit, didn't know what to do, and thought it was like an apple, so she raised her finger at the girl of the Orson family, and prepared to get the knife for cutting meat. But Gawain smiled and waved his hand to stop it, making a few gestures.

Anna understood, she stretched out her slender white fingers, and very delicately pierced the red and clear skin outside, and then peeled off all the skin with wide eyes, and then placed the flesh of one petal on the faience dinner plate naturally, like a flower, beautiful. At this time, even Hetomia and the little sunfish couldn't hold back, and leaned their heads over, "What is this called, I think it can be called 'Golden Apple'." The Orson girl proposed.

"That's a good name." Anna said she was satisfied.

"The biggest difference between this and apples is that they are naturally divided into petals, and they are naturally a fruit to share with friends." ”

The implication is that the little sunfish can't wait.

After eating, the three women's bodies, minds and eyebrows stretched and moved, "It's so sweet, sweeter than purified white cane sugar." Anna twitched her lips slightly, her eyelashes closed, intoxicated. (To be continued.) )
