0208 Gift-giving (1st Update)

With all the power of the Tang Kingdom, only two pieces were made?

Everyone's attention was drawn to see what the hell was the baby.

In fact, Jin Rushan here took advantage of the information gap to induce, and in the eyes of outsiders, the Tang Kingdom has existed for at least a hundred years.

Only two things have been made since the founding of the country, and they understand that it took more than 100 years to make two things.

The gap between this back and forth is too big.

Seeing that everyone was successfully fooled, Jin Rushan revealed the mystery. The red cloth is lifted to reveal a huge mirror.

"Oh." Everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation, which was too shocking.

But there are also many people who frown, always feeling that something is missing. The mirror was shocking, but it was far from what they had imagined.

They've seen a small mirror before, and this one is just a little bigger, what's so weird?

Someone immediately said this question, is there any difference between a large mirror and a small mirror?

Jin Rushan said with a smile: "Jiupin Guan and Zai Fu are both officials, but are they the same?" ”

"Small mirrors and large mirrors are both mirrors, but the method of making them is completely different, and the difference in difficulty is even greater than that of the ninth rank official sitting in the position of Zaifu."

"I still only have two big mirrors in the Tang Kingdom, one is in the hands of the queen and the other is here."

Although they don't know how to make a large mirror, they can know that it is more difficult and more precious.

Everyone found another thing, there were a few lines of words on this mirror.

It's just written in simplified Chinese, although they can guess it according to the meaning of the context, but they are afraid that they will be embarrassed if they guess wrong, so someone simply asked Jin Rushan directly what he wrote.

"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed, with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and with people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses."

After listening to this, many people showed excited looks.

"Okay, a good one with copper as a mirror, history as a mirror, and people as a mirror, when a big white float."

"This is true, even the famous saying."

A few words directly raised the meaning of this mirror by several realms, and the scholars who were originally very interested in this mirror wanted it even more.

Immediately, someone shouted what the price of this mirror was.

Jin Rushan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this mirror is not for sale." ”

"After a month, our Tang Congress sent an envoy to the Jin Kingdom to submit the credentials, and the queen mother of our country has a decree to send this mirror to the queen mother of your country."

For the Queen Mother? Many people showed disapproving expressions, that girl was just a puppet, wouldn't it be a waste to give it to her.

But they only dare to think in their hearts, and they dare not say it to their faces. The royal family is also a royal family when it is weak, and it will be miserable to openly insult the queen mother.

In fact, it was Wen Yi who gave this mirror to the Queen Mother.

He knows history very well, this Chu Garlic Empress Dowager is an evergreen. Assisted six emperors, reigned for 40 years, and had a high historical evaluation.

Instead of wasting energy on those short-lived emperors, it is better to have a good relationship with Chu Garlic.

Don't expect her to speak for Tang Guo, as long as she doesn't jump out to oppose it at the critical moment.

And according to the seniority, Chu Lianzi is still Xie Daoyun's cousin, and there is no cousin in five suits.

Now Xie Daoyun is not good at revealing his identity, and he may be able to use this identity to make a fuss in the future.

The appearance of this large mirror pushed the atmosphere of the exhibition to the highest.

The scholars who were still reserved and unwilling to speak up before were also completely let go, and they all went to Jin Rushan to negotiate prices to buy various goods.

Before the banquet was over, the twenty or so ships of goods he brought were sold out, and there were countless orders.

But Jin Rushan also bought a lot of goods from the Jin Kingdom, and the medicinal materials were naturally the majority, followed by high-grade silk such as Shu brocade, and some other goods.

This also made the Jin State scholars breathe a sigh of relief, they were afraid that the Tang Kingdom had everything, and the quality was better than theirs.

Now that they know that they are short of medicinal materials and high-quality silk, they can also sell some goods to each other, and there are contacts before it is called trade.

The banquet ended smoothly, and everything that happened at the meeting spread throughout Huiji County as quickly as possible.

For example, the exquisite goods of the Tang Kingdom, the unique costumes, the banquets with strange forms, and so on.

That couplet still hangs at the door of Wangjiang Tower, but the reward has been canceled. But there are still many people who come to try to link down and save face for the literati of the Jin Kingdom.

It's just a pity that no one has been able to come out for decades, but Wangjianglou has become a place for literati to gather through this couplet.

Of course, this is all for the time being.

There is also news that a month later, the Tang State will send an envoy to Beijing to deliver the credentials, and will also send the Queen Mother a heavy treasure.

Many people are looking forward to the outcome of this meeting between the two countries.

When the news came to Jiankang City, even Chu Garlic was a little looking forward to it.

After the goods were sold, Jin Rushan did not leave directly, but went to visit some scholars from Huiji County.

The first one to visit was Wang Xizhi, and the reason he used was also very open, and he helped us out of the siege on the day of the banquet.

The reason for this is truly impeccable.

The gift to Wang Xizhi was a stack of paper and a box of the finest ink, the quality of the paper was equivalent to the hard yellow paper of the Tang Dynasty, and the ink was also the finest purple ink.

Purple ink is not purple, but well-made, and the ink ingots will change to appear purple.

In this era, it can be said that they are all unique existences, and Wang Xizhi likes them very much.

And then there is no then, many things are well known to both parties, but there is no need to say too much polite nonsense.

After that, he visited several scholars, all of whom were more friendly to the Tang Kingdom.

The reason is also above board, I am here to bribe and lobby them.

Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, this was a very normal phenomenon, and everyone recognized it, and no one would think that they were privately engaging in any traitorous transactions or anything like that.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the centralization of power was further strengthened, mainly because the scholars gradually came to an end, and this kind of lobbying became illegal.

The time chosen to go to Xie An's Mansion was neither early nor late, and it was not noticeable at all.

But the gifts to the Xie family are the most.

There are members of every family line, and most of them are given according to their preferences and personalities.

For example, what was given to the female dependents was a mirror, skin care products, cosmetics, and toiletries, and what was given to Xie Xuan was a 65-centimeter Tang horizontal knife.

The Tang horizontal knife is a short knife, and the longest of all the unearthed Tang horizontal knives is only more than 70 centimeters long. And the blade is not straight, with an internal arc.

The reason why it is made into a short knife is very simple. Whether it is a general or a soldier, when fighting, he holds a long weapon.

The role of the short knife is to take into account the accidental loss of weapons to save emergencies, so it will not be too long. It's too long and it's not easy to carry.

The style of the Tang horizontal knife that is now circulating on the Internet is hyped up by capitalists who sell knives. The reason why it is made into a straight blade is that it is convenient for lathe processing.

Straight to the point.

The most valuable gifts are three sets of blue and white porcelain vases, one is a mythical story pattern, Nuwa creates a man, Nuwa mends the sky, Hou Yi shoots the sun, and Kuafu chases the sun.

One set is an ancient legend, including Chao's, Suiren's, Shennong's taste of herbs, Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou, Dayu's water control, etc.

There is also a set of historical chapters, that is, you can find real historical allusions, do not eat Zhou Su, high mountains and flowing water, ghost valleys out of the mountains, and so on.

Even the well-informed Xie An was shocked.
