Li Er was very happy, because the envoys of the Western Turks were very knowledgeable.

Li Yuanxing was looking forward to it, hoping that among Goguryeo's gifts, there would be a pearl.

The box was carried out, and nine little eunuchs began to tour outside the hall with wooden boxes, and some elderly eunuchs shouted, this is the first return gift from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Turks.

Under the shed outside the main hall, there were envoys from various states sitting, as well as officials below the fifth grade of Chang'an City who were not qualified to enter the main hall. Without exception, they were amazed because of this treasure-grade pearl.

The only one who gasped was Goguryeo.

Pearls are part of their gift. Their pearls are like diamonds and grains of sand. A hundred pots of pearls, the largest of which is not half the diameter of these, not to mention the color, and the degree of sleek beauty.

Li Er didn't care, because he had seen more haode, and in his eyes, these were not big.

The second thing, Li Yuanxing is purely a spoof.

This is a gift given to him by Heimins in modern times, but in modern times, Li Yuanxing has no place to put it, and he sold it at a high price under the pretext, but he brought it back to ancient times several times, opened it, and put it tighter, Li Yuanxing brought it to Datang three or five times, and it was originally intended to be placed in his own Qinwangzhuang.

But Wu Cao thinks that this thing is too weird, and it is not very auspicious to put bones in ancient Zhuangzi.

The main reason is that this thing was not hunted by Li Yuanxing himself, so if you want to put it on the table, you can put one that you got yourself, and it was Datang who got it himself.

Therefore, Li Yuanxing took out this thing as a gift. Purely waste utilization.

What is it?

A complete whale skeleton!

The skeleton of a killer whale, nine meters long, is the skeleton of a fish three zhang long in ancient times, killer whales have teeth, and the rows of huge teeth bring people a huge sense of shock.

"This fish is called a whale, and it's not the biggest. The largest one is ten zhang and weighs three million catties, and this one only weighs 200,000 catties. It's just a pity that the skin of the whole body is damaged. Otherwise, it would be a pity to make a complete specimen that is gorgeous, and only the skeleton is available. ”

Li Yuanxing shouted that it was a pity, but the people in the hall couldn't say a word.

Such a big fish. Who has seen it. Who has heard.

People on the outside are more curious. The second box has been opened, but there is no movement in Weishenme?

"There was a legend of Kunpeng in ancient times, and now I see this fish. The ancients did not deceive me. I don't know if it was the official who suddenly came up with such a sentence, which broke the silence in the hall. Baiguan kept talking about this huge fish skeleton.

And Li Yuanxing ushered in Li Er's vicious glare.

Li Er's attitude is obvious, you don't stay in Datang with such a thing, you actually give it to a foreigner, don't beat you for your brother, see how your father cleans you up.

Li Yuanxing smiled heartlessly.

"Carry it out!" This time, it was Li Er who took the initiative to speak, and he didn't wait for the Western Turk envoy to say anything, which would still be angry with Li Yuanxing in his heart.

Li Yuanxing was helpless, so he had to approach Li Er and whispered: "Brother Huang, within three years, my brother will let Brother Huang personally hunt one, ten zhang long." This one is too small, and even the courtiers can't look down on it, how can he be worthy of the royal brother. ”

Hearing Li Yuanxing say this, Li Er's face became a little better.

At least Li Yuanxing has not promised a blank check.

The third box was opened, and this box was purely prepared for the Western Turks, a gift and a strategy.

Li Yuanxing stepped down from the imperial platform and went to open the box in person, the breathing of the Western Turkic envoys stopped, a box that could be opened by the noble King of Tang Qin himself, and the value of the gifts was unimaginable.

Outside the main hall, the exclamations of the ten-meter-long huge whale skeleton did not affect the people in the main hall in the slightest. It can be said that no more than ten people knew what was inside this box.

Li Yuanxing took out a piece of cloth from the box, a gray-blue cloth.

Cloth?

Is this a gift? The Western Turks were a little puzzled, and even had a lot of doubts, but he still did not doubt that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty could personally open the gift, and the preciousness of this gift must be that he was too dull.

"It's an edelweiss." Li Yuanxing picked up a flower scissors from the box in advance, cut the haode squares and put them in the hands of the Western Turkic envoys: "This kind of cloth requires more than 100 processes, and it takes three months from raw materials to cloth, and it is extremely difficult to make. ”

The Western Turkic envoy did not understand clothing, but he was a nobleman.

This kind of cloth is extremely soft to the touch, but it is thicker than silk, and in terms of feeling, it is a different feeling compared to silk, and if you calculate it, it should not be cheaper than silk.

Could it be that the gift of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is this new style of clothing in the Tang Dynasty?

"The nobles of the Tang Dynasty wear silk in summer. Winter is this edelweiss, this is also the king's hands of tens of thousands of craftsmen, it took nearly a year to successfully trial-produce, the transaction over there in the Western Regions, within three years, you are alone! ”

You're alone!

The Western Turkic envoy didn't finish his words, but this Duyou family completely listened.

"At least 10,000 horses per year, you are the only one in the Western Regions." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he took out three more cards in the box: "These are the three edelweiss firms recognized by the royal family." The king's order has been sent to the Ministry of Foreign Commerce! ”

"Your Highness!" The Western Turkic envoy's thank-you salute didn't seem to be very high, wasn't he satisfied?

What if he was satisfied or not, the smile on His Royal Highness King Qin's face was not a fake. Datang officials believe that this gift must be very, very 'special'. But what kind of special law, they don't understand.

Li Erhaha smiled: "I will give another 100,000 catties of steel, 100,000 catties of horse iron, 10,000 catties of snow salt, 1,000 jin of brocade, and 500 people will be enrolled." ”

Li Erxin said, the other party has taken out 20,000 catties of gold, how can it make people feel that it is worth 20,000 catties of gold first. As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 100,000 catties of stainless steel, this number startled everyone, even Li Yuanxing was a little surprised, 100,000 catties of stainless steel. In the past, the value of Datang was almost a million yuan.

If it is placed on the grassland, 100,000 catties of stainless steel, dare to ask for 200 to 3 million yuan.

Li Yuanxing regretted a little, he shouldn't have told Li Er about the cost of the steel in his hands, this time he gave the Western Turks too much.

However, it's also a good thing to think about it, and see how the Western Turks still talk about peace.

"Thank you......" The Western Turkic envoy wanted to shout thanks, but as soon as his hands were raised, he fainted without taking a sip. It's all about fainting with excitement.

The people outside the hall saw the imperial doctor running into the hall, and immediately shifted their attention to the main hall from the orca skeleton.

Immediately, there was news of the disappearance. 100,000 pounds of stainless steel. 100,000 catties of horse iron, it seems that there is something else, and the Western Turkic envoy fainted on the spot with excitement.

Seeing that the Western Turkic envoy was carried out, he seemed to have woken up. The Imperial Physicians are still busy.

The eunuch on duty was shouting again: "Goguryeo envoy presents!" ”

The Goguryeo envoys were really sweating profusely. Among their four officiating ceremonies. There are three things that have lost their meaning, and Zuihou really doesn't know what else will happen.

There were three people in the Goguryeo envoy group, who were naturally the chief and deputy envoys and a small official.

The little official is Yuan Gai Suwen.

After entering the main hall. Shi Li, sit down, and then Yuan Gai Suwen cautiously glanced in the direction of the imperial platform, this glance made his heart really full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The position where King Qin of the Tang Dynasty sat was actually on the side of the throne of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and in the historical records of the emperors of the Central Plains, there was almost no man who could do this position.

But King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was sitting there.

At this time, however, the Goguryeo envoys were in a state of great strength, reciting more than a thousand praises, and then began to report the gift list.

The gift of "100 pots of pearls ......" would definitely be one of the most important gifts if it had been placed in the past. But this will, only said a quantity, but did not show the pearls, naturally people are not optimistic, there is a little booing on the hall, at least most of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty still have excellent cultivation.

The Goguryeo envoy also knew that he didn't dare to take out this pearl, and it was even more embarrassing to compare. I had to continue: "Goguryeo red ginseng 500 catties, white ginseng 500 catties, sugar ginseng 500 catties!" ”

Hearing this gift list, Li Yuanxing's heart moved, and he summoned Gao Gonggong over and whispered: "You go and check if the ginseng presented by the Khitan people and the Goguryeo people is the same." Gao Gonggong didn't dare to ask more, so he was ordered to go out.

Li Er was puzzled and motioned for Li Yuanxing to explain.

Li Yuanxing was about to speak, but Yuangai Suwen stood up at this time, first gave a salute to Li Er, and then gave a salute to the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and then said: "The ministers of the lower kingdom are puzzled, whether the king of Qin of the upper kingdom looks down on me Goguryeo, when the ministers are outside the palace, although they can't hear the words in the palace, they can see it. When the first three states offered gifts, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Shangguo Kingdom has always regarded it as a courtesy, and when it came to my Goguryeo, why did His Royal Highness the King of Qin not only look left and right, but also summoned the attendants to pass the word. Even if there is an important government matter, you should not despise me Goguryeo! ”

Interesting!

It's a lot of fun!

The courtiers of the Tang Dynasty had an expression of watching the play, and even Li Er felt very interesting. Li Yuanxing thought of a way to get along with Goguryeo, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were supported and discouraged, and today you Goguryeo dared to take the initiative to jump out to find trouble with King Qin, you guys are really interesting.

Sure enough, Li Yuanxing's reaction did not exceed the expectations of the Tang Emperor Li Er and the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing stood up with a straight face.

"Call the imperial doctor at the door to come in, this king happens to have some doubts to ask."

Everyone was puzzled, but they were even more expectant in their hearts, and a royal doctor came in at the moment.

Li Yuanxing opened his mouth and asked: "The ginseng in the mountains for ten years weighs only two or three dollars when it becomes dried ginseng, and the ginseng is only four taels when it is fresh for a hundred years, and it is only one or two halves when it is dried, but you Goguryeo people have a craft, and you can plant ginseng as flowers and plants. (To be continued......)
