Tang Ping looked in the direction where the sneering voice came from.

The man was sitting in the first row and was looking at Tang Ping and the others coldly.

One of the servants hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Prince Yamabei, this is a ...... invited by the Nakato-chan Kamazu-sama."

This person is none other than the Yamabei Emperor who lost in the last battle for the emperor.

"Am I wrong? Now that Datang Fusang trades with each other, the entire Fusang, I'm afraid there are more than 100 Datang businessmen, why don't you invite them all over? ”

Tang Ping smiled slightly when he heard this: "The prince of the mountain, but you question our qualifications to participate in the auction?" ”

The eldest brother of the mountain did not speak, but the meaning revealed was undoubtedly what Tang Ping said.

He targeted Tang Ping so much, in fact, because he knew that Tang Ping was likely to have a lot to do with the Soga Ezo family.

He was originally the designated heir of the previous emperor, but because of Soga Ezo's power, he sent the son of Tamura, who is now Emperor Shumei, to the throne.

Therefore, he has a good relationship with Su I Ezo, even if he is a businessman from Datang, he is extremely dissatisfied.

"Qinglian Gongzi, after all, today is an auction donation for the relief of our country's disaster victims, so if it is ......," an official who knew Li Bai next to the eldest brother Wang of Shanbei said.

I didn't finish it, but it meant that if you don't have any money, don't come to such an occasion, so as not to embarrass everyone.

"Yes, the amount of money needed to help the victims is not a small amount, and there should be no less than ten percent of the value of today's auction items."

"I heard that although the convenience store where Qinglian Gongzi is located sells goods from Datang, they are basically the necessities of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

I have to say that the big brother Wang can become one of the three major forces in Fusang, and naturally there are still many supporters, and in addition to the pro-Tang faction in the Fuso political arena, there are also some people who are secretly hostile to the Tang Dynasty, thinking that the Tang Dynasty has squeezed their space in the East China Sea and suppressed the development of Fusang.

If Fusang wants to develop, it can't rely too much on Datang.

Such a small auction is a microcosm of the current Fuso political scene.

Li Bai smiled slightly: "It is true that many auctions in Datang require capital verification or payment of deposit, it just so happened that I bought a watch last year, I don't know that my pocket watch may be used as proof of assets?" ”

As he spoke, Li Bai took out a pocket watch from his arms and showed it to the people around him.

"Oh my God, pocket watch!"

"This ...... This is a new product launched by Datang Tang Commercial Bank last year! ”

"I heard that this pocket watch is full of parts the size of rice grains, and each part is ingenious, and only the top craftsmen in Datang can make it."

"When my caravan came back from Datang, it was said that the Tang family firm launched twelve such pocket watches last year, that is, in the first year."

"That's right, such a pocket watch is said to be the strength of the Tang Firm, and it only has an output of twelve yuan a year."

"It seems that one of the twelve pieces last year was sold to King Zhao and one to the crown prince, but in fact, only ten pieces circulated in the market."

"The price of each piece seems to be above a thousand times, by the way, the pocket watch dial is engraved with the twelve zodiac signs, you see this watch, it's a pig."

Before the auction began, the entire royal palace was boiling because of the pocket watch that Li Bai took out.

In fact, the watch is a thing, the Tang royal family, important ministers and senior generals basically have modern mechanical watches sent by Tang Ping, but they will not pass it on.

The reason why such a batch of mechanical pocket watches was made was that the craftsmen of the Tang family firm wanted to hone their skills, and secondly, they were to create a new luxury to make money.

No matter how high the technical content of this thing is in Datang, no matter how exquisite the production is, its own value is definitely not worth more than a thousand yuan, and Tang Ping has set such a standard after hype.

Since then, the Tang Merchant House has introduced twelve numbered pocket watches every year, and as long as the craftsmanship of these pocket watches cannot be copied, these pocket watches will always be the top luxury goods.

This kind of thing, now the whole of Fuso doesn't even have the emperor and Soga Ezo, how can it not cause a sensation.

Li Bai showed it for a while and then retracted it in his arms: "If we take pictures of things today and can't pay for them, I'll take this watch as a pawn." ”

"What did Qinglian Gongzi say?"

"I wonder if Qinglian Gongzi has a channel to buy another piece of this pocket watch?"

"Qinglian Gongzi, is this pocket watch really exactly like the legendary indication time?"

Li Bai immediately became the center of everyone, and even the high-ranking Fusang officials sitting in front of him surrounded him, wanting to get close to him.

Some people even began to speculate about his identity, since he is also surnamed Li, does it have something to do with the current Tang royal family?

I have to be a lot more respectful to Li Bai and Tang Ping.

"Ahem, everyone, Your Majesty is coming." At this time, the minister Kamazu, who was planning to organize this disaster relief auction, walked in, he was originally doing the work of greeting outside, and he had just heard that Li Bai had taken out a pocket watch.

In addition, the emperor is indeed coming soon, so I hurried out to maintain order.

Although there is not much power in the hands of the emperor now, his identity is still supreme in Fuso.

So everyone retreated to their positions and waited for the emperor to arrive.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" As the chamberlain shouted, the Emperor walked in, surrounded by him.

Tang Ping was slightly stunned, this style really taught the Tang Dynasty ninety out of nine, whether it was clothing, honor guards or those palace maids, Tang Ping almost thought that he had returned to Chang'an.

But thinking about the streets of Nara now, all the buildings are Tang-style buildings, everyone wears Tang clothes, and everyone speaks in Tang dialect, Tang Ping is relieved.

However, Fusang's cultural identity with the Tang Dynasty will not make Tang Ping happy, because he understands this nation, he will grovel to you when you are strong and secretly learn everything about you, but when you are weak, he will jump up and want to bite the last piece of meat on your body.

Just when Tang Ping was full of thoughts, the voice of the eldest brother king of the mountain back came from his ears: "Bold, why don't you kneel when you meet His Majesty the Emperor of our country?" ”

Tang Ping woke up and turned his head to look at the venue, except for himself and Li Bai, everyone else knelt on the ground.

sighed slightly, how could I forget this stubble.

But it was impossible for Tang Ping to kneel, he didn't kneel when he saw Li Shimin, did he have to kneel when he ran to Xiaori?

It's a big deal to show his identity, Tang Tang and Tang Pingguogong, who would dare to ask him to kneel.

"It's okay, it's a guest from afar, and I heard that the Tang Dynasty is gradually not prostrating the bow now."

Emperor Shu Ming looked at Tang Ping and smiled slightly: "I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
