After all, the reputation of the Turks has spread in the Middle East for many years, but the Han Dynasty can completely wipe out even the Turks, do you call such a country no danger? Do you call this not invading people at will? If they didn't invade others at will, then how were the Turks wiped out?

"Don't be nervous, what I said is true, although the Han Dynasty eliminated the Turks, it was because the Turks offended the Han in front, so they suffered a catastrophe, otherwise, the Han would not take the initiative to destroy others." In fact, Ruras didn't know much, and he only knew a few words from the rumors.

But the reason why he said this is because he showed a little humility in the face of a powerful country...... Even if the other party is malicious, they may be able to live, at least there is a chance to pay the ransom, but if some reckless people who don't know the severity directly offend the other party...... Then there really isn't any room for redemption.

Of course, Della didn't know what Rulas was thinking, but when he heard the other party say this, he was somewhat relaxed, although he was still very nervous.

The huge merchant ships are constantly approaching, and Alura's port is not large, so it is impossible for such a large ship to dock, but the depth of the sea is not bad, so after the other party's large ships are close enough to the shore, several small boats will quickly sail towards the shore, and these small boats alone are larger than some of the fishing boats they fish every day.

When the dinghy approached, Della couldn't help but gasp, thinking that he had seen the person on the dinghy, it was a fully armed soldier, the other party was dressed in neat armor, the bright steel armor was extremely dazzling, at least he had not seen such elite armor in this land.

If it weren't for safety, Zhao Qi wouldn't want these soldiers to wear this armor, the weather here is a little hot even in winter, and these armors are not comfortable to wear. But it's nothing for these soldiers, they've already gotten used to it.

As a soldier, it is natural to adapt to all kinds of bad weather and fight in various conditions, which is the basic skill of a soldier.

Seeing that the other party was approaching, Della didn't worry too much, because the other party just lowered two small boats and came over, and there were only about thirty people on these two small boats.

Although the lethality of these thirty people ...... Della felt that the hundred or so soldiers around him couldn't beat the other party, but it proved that the other party was not hostile, didn't it? If there was any hostility, there were other dinghys on the ship.

Soon, the dinghy was already docked at the dock, and the ordinary people in the city watched from afar, the dock had been emptied by Dera, and Ruras was left behind by Dera, because he could not speak the language of the Great Han.

Although Ruras will not speak, but Rulas should be insightful.

"Hello." To Dra's surprise, however, when they walked up to them, the young man beside their leader spoke in fluent Greek.

"Hello, distinguished Han guests, welcome from afar." Della hurriedly said that he could not speak Chinese, but he could speak Greek.

"Thank you, what is this place, and who are you, sir?" How do you know we're from Dahan? Wu Min translated Zhao Qi's words.

"This is Alula City, I am the lord of Alula City, my name is Dera." Della hurriedly spoke, "As for knowing that the guest is from the Great Han, it is because of this Mr. Rulas, who is a Byzantine merchant. Della gave Zhao Qi an introduction to them.

After listening to the other party's words, Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, although he didn't show it, but he didn't expect to come into contact with Byzantine merchants this time, so some of his tasks could be completed.

Suppressing these emotions in his heart, Zhao Qi thought about what the other party had just said, and he asked quietly: "It turned out to be a Byzantine merchant, so speaking of which, you are the master of this land, Lord of Dara?" ”

The reason why Zhao Qi asked this was because he was testing the political system of this place and what the specific situation was here, and when this city lord of Draa was just introduced, he said that he was a Byzantine merchant, which meant that his Alura city was definitely not from the Byzantine Empire.

But this place, except for one Byzantium, they don't know about other countries at all, so Zhao Qi deliberately asked.

"This ...... Yes. Della hesitated, but agreed.

As soon as Della said this, Zhao Qi's eyes lit up...... A city lord would dare to say that he was the master of the land...... Then it means that there should be no country in this place! Is it the kind of city-state system of commerce? He had learned such a system from the geography of the Han Dynasty.

Obviously, such a system is good news for the Han Dynasty, because it means that there is naturally no state on this land, and there are many such city lords, but they are obviously competing with each other.

This city lord of Draa only has about a few hundred soldiers who can gain a foothold here, and the state here can be imagined, and it is estimated that you don't need to think about it to know that there is no too strong strength here.

It's obviously good for their trade.

"Hello Dera City Lord, I am the shopkeeper from the Dahan Blackwater Trading House, my name is Zhao Qi, these people are the sailors I hired, we came this time to trade in Alura City of Dera, and I hope that the City Lord of Dera can agree." After Zhao Qi made a courtesy, he asked with a smile.

To be honest, in fact, Della was very nervous, but when Zhao Qi finished speaking, I don't know why he wasn't so nervous, the main reason was naturally because of Zhao Qi's attitude.

Looking at the dozens of heavily armed soldiers following behind Zhao Qi, he actually wanted to say, you tell me this is called a sailor? I'm afraid you don't have some misunderstanding about sailors.

Have you ever seen a sailor with such neat armor, this set of armor alone is probably a huge astronomical amount for many small merchants, not to mention that there are at least dozens or even more than a hundred sets of such armor.

And whether there is more on his ship, no one knows.

Della didn't doubt this, because it was impossible for the other party to say that everything was taken out directly, and that the huge ship alone didn't know how much gold it would take to build it.

"Of course, we welcome anyone here. Of course, Zhao Qi is also welcome. Della hurriedly spoke. When he said this, Della was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that what this Ruras said was true, is this big man really so polite?

Even if they have a very big advantage, even by force, they are actually willing to buy and sell things politely?

"But I don't know what shopkeeper Zhao Qi brought over this time?" Della couldn't help but ask.

"Porcelain, tea, silk, cloth, cashmere, spices." Zhao Qi smiled and said, he almost has these things in his hands, but how to say these things, their value is different from the traditional value in the Han Dynasty.

Don't say anything else, let's talk about porcelain, in Datang, the value of porcelain is actually not low, high-end porcelain is a luxury in Datang, but in Dahan, the value of this thing is the wisdom of the benevolent.

The Han Dynasty did not really popularize high-end porcelain, not that it could not be popularized, but if it did, then how could the surrounding countries be willing to take out their gold coins in exchange for these exquisite porcelain.

For the people of the Han Dynasty, they prefer to use inferior porcelain than to use such high-end porcelain, and then give them more gold coins so that they can live a better life.

Therefore, what is popularized in the Han Dynasty is actually a kind of thing between pottery and porcelain, which is very easy to fire, without any special patterns, and the color is not good, probably the basic color of the material, gray or brown and the like.

Of course, in addition to the color, in fact, their surface is very smooth, and the performance of porcelain is actually not found, at least there is no difference for ordinary people in daily use.

What's more, this thing is cheap, they can buy ten ordinary gray porcelain bowls like this for a penny, and the other plates and the like are actually about the same price.

As for the larger porcelain jars and pottery urns, the price is not expensive, for ordinary people, it is not distressing at all for them to break a few of these porcelain bowls.

After all, now the ordinary laborers of the Han Dynasty can buy a lot of such porcelain bowls with their monthly salary.

This kind of thing is now almost all machine-made, and large-scale firing, the requirements for firing are not high, so the price of the finished product is also very low, the cost has naturally been reduced to a certain limit, and it does not have high requirements for the soil.

To put it bluntly, the soil used in this thing can even be artificially mixed, although it affects the quality, but how good do you expect it to be if it is worthless?

And those real so-called high-end porcelain, with patterns and even a variety of white craftsmanship of high-end porcelain is actually ...... Well, it's about a hundred times more expensive than these gray ordinary porcelain bowls.

Porcelain bowls that cost five pennies are one or two hundred times more expensive, and everyone will know by themselves, but the price of their exports is about tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan.

So this thing is a real profiteering, in addition to silk and cloth, the real high-end embroidery is very expensive, that is not a machine can be made, the machine of later generations may be able to embroider a very good pattern, but the real top pattern is still artificial.
