In the midst of warm and friendly chat, it didn't take long for the four dominatrixes to return with wine and porcelain, and poured a large glass for everyone!

Xie Gongyi is secretly puzzled, porcelain was produced in the Later Han Dynasty, the specific age is impossible to verify, in short, the output is very small, the common people, or a slightly worse scholar is likely to have never seen porcelain in their lives!

Xie Gongyi's incomprehension lies in the fact that he feels that Wei Feng's enthusiasm for these Roman merchants is too much, and he can't wait to give his heart and liver to others, when it comes to understanding Wei Feng, although he is not as good as the women around Wei Feng, he has also figured out some of them, and understands that this is a guy who can't afford to be profitable early, and today's Wei Feng is very abnormal!

You know, the porcelain of the authoritative family is not easy to use, only used to entertain friends and distinguished guests, in most of the time, drinking is still with pottery and lacquerware, but under the persuasion of Wei Feng, Wang Xie and other big families have gradually abandoned lacquerware.

Xie Gongyi couldn't help but look at the Roman merchants, but unexpectedly found that these exotic merchants who looked similar to the Qiang people were staring at the porcelain cups!

In Antonio's eyes, the small cup in front of him, smooth and delicate like clotted fat, the whole body is pale cyan, people can't put it down at first sight, if you subdivide it in detail, you will also find that there is a layer of uniform and slightly cyan translucent substance on the surface of the cup, exuding a hazy, and full of infinite mysterious brilliance!

"Your Excellency Antonio!" Wei Feng retracted his gaze and said with a slight smile: "This cup is called porcelain, and it is only produced in Shangyu County, Huiji County. It is the only one in the world, it needs to be made of unique porcelain clay or kaolin into an embryo shape, and fired at a temperature sufficient to melt gold and iron for 7749 days before it can be formed. ”

"Oh?" The Roman merchants picked up their wine glasses one after another, which really became more and more fond of it, and there are quite a lot of treasures in the country of Seris!

All of a sudden, the whole house was full of admiration!

Out of the instinct of a businessman. Antonio subconsciously asked, "May I ask the envoy." How much does this porcelain cost? ”

If you want to say how much porcelain is worth, Wei Feng is still not clear, he came to this era, except for cloth, silk, grain, rice, armor and arrows. No idea about the price of other items. But that doesn't affect his nonsense.

Wei Feng said seriously: "Porcelain is extremely rare because of its beautiful appearance and production. In my dynasty, the price is more than gold, only the real nobles and royalty can own, it is a status symbol! Anyone who dares to harbor ordinary people is a great crime of rebellion! If you have to denominate it according to your Eastern Roman coins. I think there should be no less than fifty gold coins! ”

Xie Gongyi and the dominatrix led by Miss Chen were about to fall out, they really dared to pull it, although they didn't know the price of the porcelain cup, but the jade cup similar to the porcelain cup didn't have much money, in the market of Jiankang, two silk horses can be exchanged for a set of eight jade cups with wine jugs of exquisite workmanship, how can two silk horses not be worth fifty Roman gold coins, not to mention that this person also folded a complete set of wine utensils to count the money one by one?

It's just that as soon as Wei Feng's words fell, the Romans clenched the arms in their hands one after another, as if they were holding fifty gold coins in their hands!

Due to the large number of bad coins minted in Rome in the second century, which caused prices to skyrocket, the people were poor, and domestic uprisings and riots broke out, so in 300 A.D. gold and silver coins were reminted in full value, and the Edict of Prices was issued by Deric, which set the maximum price of goods.

One Roman pound of gold was equal to 72,000 dinars, the ratio of gold to silver was one to twelve, every 27 kilograms of army wheat was worth 100 dinars, one Roman pound of beef was equal to 8 dinars, a baker was paid 50 dinars a day, a peasant was paid 25 dinars a day, a haircut was 2 dinars, every 100 lines copied was 20 dinars, and so on.

Constantine followed this policy after his accession to the throne, and one Roman pound was equal to 325 grams, while Constantine issued about four and a half grams of gold, which is worth 1,000 dinars!

In Wei Feng's mouth, this broken wine glass costs fifty Roman gold coins, which is more expensive than the same weight of gold!

The corners of Antonio's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Envoy, is the price of this porcelain cup too expensive?" Can it be cheaper? ”

"Eh~~" Wei Feng waved his hand: "Fifty gold coins are my own estimate, in fact, this thing can't be bought even if you pay five hundred gold coins, its output does not exceed a thousand per year, it is not enough to enter the royal family as a tribute, how can it be sold on the market?" Those who are not sold, such as me, can only get them if they are rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor for their military exploits!

What's more serious is that the porcelain production area was rebellious two years ago, although I led the army to recapture it with blood, but all the porcelain kilns have been destroyed in the war, and I am afraid that it will have to wait a few more years to restart. ”

"Oops!" Wei Feng finished speaking, and after a crisp and strange scream, there was a crisp snap!

Everyone looked towards the sound, a Roman woman of about twenty years old was pale, looking at the pile of water stains and a few pieces of broken porcelain under her feet in a daze, don't think about it, she must be too excited to break the cup!

Antonio's face turned green for a moment, this is fifty gold coins, and he immediately said with an almost roaring rage: "Julia, what's the matter with you? Why can't you even hold a cup? You shit! ”

"Uncle me!" The woman's tears were about to flow out, their group was all from the Odoxia family, although Antonio was her real uncle, but Westerners were clearly divided, one was one, two was two, and there was no ambiguity in money, her annual salary for going to sea was thirty gold coins, and the profits from each trip were divided into nearly 100 gold coins in addition to most of the profits handed over to the powerful in the clan, and the rest were divided according to status, with her identity, she could get nearly 100 gold coins, according to the calculation that it would take four years to go back and forth, that is, a year for nothing!

This is really unlucky, I went to an invitation, I didn't say a word, I didn't drink wine, and my salary for a year was gone!

"You!" Antonio snorted angrily, and then said to Wei Feng: "Envoy, my niece is to blame me, it's my poor discipline, but please rest assured, I am willing to compensate according to the price!" ”

Wei Feng frowned, and said unhappily: "What compensation?" Do you look down on me? Isn't it fifty gold coins? What is this? Our Jin people are known for their hospitality, if the guests break the tableware and ask for compensation, if this spreads, tens of millions of people across the country have to point to my backbone and scold! ”

With a humiliated anger on his face, Wei Feng instructed a dominatrix, "Is there any cup left?" Take another one and pour a new cup for the lady named Julia! ”

"The last two left!" The dominatrix replied knowingly and walked towards the apse.

Suddenly, Julia's turquoise eyes flashed with disbelief, and she looked at Wei Feng in a daze!

Antonio hurriedly praised: "Envoy, you are so generous, I feel it, the country of Seris is a warm and hospitable country, his nobles and citizens, kind and simple, after returning home, I will tell all the Romans and Her Royal Highness the Queen what I have seen and heard in the East, especially your friendship with you, so that every citizen of Eastern Rome can share my joy!" As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and urged: "Julia, why are you stunned?" Don't thank you yet? (To be continued......)
