"It's ......"

The people from the auction house and Lord Liu from the Dongyue Honglu Temple both opened their eyes wide and looked at the contents of Tang Ping's box.

Inside was a delicate wooden ship.

"This is a wooden ship!"

Tang Ping took out the wooden boat in the box, which was actually a wooden model airplane.

Its prototype is the Fu Boat that only appeared in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and it is recorded in Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao Xinshu": Fu Chuan City Wind Presses down, like a car rolling mantis, fighting the boat force but not fighting manpower, is to win every time.

This is the highest level of ancient Chinese naval warships, and later Zheng He's treasure ships used to go to the West are actually the collective name of various ships, among which the warships escort are actually lucky ships.

Tang Ping said as he began to disassemble the model aircraft: "You see, this sail and here can be disassembled, and the internal structure can be seen here, as long as there is this, it will not be a problem to build an identical ship at all." ”

"Lord Tang, wait!" Lord Liu grabbed Tang Ping's hand tightly, if he had known that Tang Ping was going to sell this thing, he would not have brought him here if he was killed.

You must know that the biggest enemy of Dongyue now is not the Tang Dynasty, but the Wa and Buyeo people on the sea, as well as the Goguryeo people.

Dongyue and Datang have been at peace with each other for more than ten years, and although the two countries are not dealing with each other, at least there are only occasional small frictions in the past ten years.

However, those threats on the sea are different, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, and the east and the east are close to the sea, and a large part of their financial income comes from the sea.

In order to compete for the ownership of the sea area, the Dongyue Kingdom had many frictions with the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo.

Although he doesn't know much about maritime affairs, it is obvious that through Tang Ping's introduction just now, the model of the warship in his hand is far more advanced than the warships of the active East Vietnamese Navy.

How can such a thing be auctioned off in this mixed seafood market?

Once its manufacturing process is lost to several other countries, it will be a catastrophe for the East Vietnamese Navy, and once the maritime power structure is broken, then East Vietnam is likely to fall into a crisis.

"What's wrong? Lord Liu? Tang Ping looked at Lord Liu with an innocent look on his face. This is the preparation he made in advance, long before coming to Dongyue, he inquired in detail from Fang Du and the others.

With his understanding of Dongyue, he believed that Dongyue would definitely not want such a thing to be circulated.

To tell the truth, this model aircraft is still a birthday gift from Gou Shaoqun, and the big dog still boasted to himself how professional this model aircraft is, and he is really reluctant!

"I can't help it, I can't help it! Lord Tang! "Lord Liu's tears are going to stay, you dare to sell such a thing?

"Hey, Lord Liu, do you think I want to sell? This is a gift from one of my siblings, and I really don't want to sell it if I could! You can see that I am the envoy to Dongyue, so you can imagine the importance of this thing to me. ”

Tang Ping's expression on his face was as fake as he wanted: "But there's no way, so many people follow me, I can't let them go hungry, right?" ”

Hungry? When I went to your courtyard just now, I saw that your two guards were all meat buns the size of a fist in one hand, and they looked hungry?

But the things belong to Tang Ping, and they are envoys of the Tang Dynasty, so if they want to sell their own things, can they really stop them?

Yes, there are also contraband items in East Vietnam, that is, things that are not allowed to be traded publicly, but those things do not contain this kind of model aircraft.

Tang Ping also understood what he meant, either he would find a way to let His Majesty see him now, or he would sell this thing with great fanfare through the auction house.

Of course, Dongyue can pay for this thing at his own expense, but how do you know that Tang Ping won't find two nurseries when it is auctioned?

What if people keep raising the price with you? Add to a price that Dongyue can't accept, do you follow or not? If you don't, what if it's not childcare, but a Buyeongee or a widow?

There is another way to come hard, but to grab the treasures of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, what is the difference between that and declaring war on the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty sends troops, it will not be regarded as a nameless division.

It was possible to wait for the things to be sold before starting, but no matter how you deal with it, this matter is now beyond the authority of Lord Liu.

"Lord Tang wait for me, wait for me, how about waiting? We'll go back now, and I'll give you a letter before noon!" ”

He didn't say what this quasi-letter was, but both of them knew that it was whether Xuan Ying, the king of Dongyue, wanted to see Tang Ping or not.

"Okay, Lord Liu also takes a lot of care of Zaixia, so I'll give Lord Liu this face." Tang Ping put away the model airplane with a sigh.

sent Tang Ping back to his small courtyard, and when he entered, Lord Liu smelled a strange fragrance, and his stomach began to growl.

But this will not be the time to inquire about these things, and I rushed back to Honglu Temple.

After listening to Lord Liu's report, Dongyue Honglu Siqing did not dare to slack off, and immediately entered the palace to face the saint.

Originally, Wang Xuanying's illness was faked, but after listening to Honglu Siqing's report, he nodded: "This is called Tang Ping's kind of interesting, then arrange to meet in the afternoon!" ”

Waiting for Honglu Siqing to go out, he picked up the secret report on the table, two secret reports, one south and one north, and they arrived this morning.

The content is almost the same, that is, the Northern Corps and the Southern Corps of the Tang Dynasty have received orders to advance eastward, and they are preparing for the eastward march of the army.

The east of the Tang Dynasty is Dongyue, although everyone has been peaceful for more than ten years, Wang Xuanying does not think that the two countries can always be so peaceful.

Especially now that there is about to be a locust plague in Datang, it is completely reasonable for Datang to send troops to Dongyue at this time, firstly, it can transfer domestic contradictions, and secondly, because Dongyue sits in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most important thing is food.

This was the reason why he made up his mind to summon Tang Ping, he wanted to know the specific intentions of Datang.

You must know that they only exchanged ducks for a batch of iron ore from Datang this year, and these iron ores have not yet been turned into weapons and installed in the East Vietnamese Army, they are going to fight with Datang, and it should not be now, but to wait for the iron ore over there to become knives and guns.

Dongyue has never lacked money, food and manpower, what he lacks is iron, and now with these iron ores, as long as he can build enough knives and guns, he has the confidence to confront Datang.

Since it is not the wisdom of the people to start a war, then let's talk about it, if the other party can hand over the model aircraft, and let Dongyue dominate the East China Sea, then this transaction to Datang grain is not an unacceptable situation.

So when Tang Ping was having lunch, they saw Lord Liu running in panting.

"Lord Liu, have you eaten?"

Still the familiar greeting, Lord Liu glanced at Tang Ping's sumptuous dinner table, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and endured the hunger in his stomach and said, "Not yet, Your Majesty invites Lord Tang to enter the palace in the afternoon to face the saint." ”
