575 unpopular backcountry Porto

Something was wrong with the little old man from the beginning when he took out the bowl on his side.

If Tang Ping didn't know the value of silk at the beginning, forget it.

But now that we know the value of silk here, we can also know that porcelain from the Tang Dynasty must also be a luxury here.

After all, in the English pronunciation, Huaguodu and porcelain are the same pronunciation.

Old Peter saw that the porcelain bowl had tried his best to conceal it, but his hand holding the bowl betrayed him.

When someone serves a bowl and drinks soup, they hold it in their hands for fear of falling off.

And with such a big wind and waves on the sea, he returned to the other side with his bowl of soup, and he was afraid that there would be a few drops left.

So Tang Ping could see early in the morning that this old Peter was eyeing his porcelain bowl.

But it didn't matter, he also hoped to be able to establish some contact with the nobles here by the hand of old Peter.

Old Peter is such a shrewd person, and he has connections here, so he hides behind him and establishes some relationships with the nobles here.

In the future, it will be much easier to do things and do things.

Who knows how long it will take for this ghost system to be upgraded, and there has been no news about him, and now Datang is afraid that it has become a mess.

Therefore, if you establish some relationship with these nobles, it is best to find a safe route back to the Tang Dynasty from them.

On the European continent, too, only the aristocracy and the Church had a say.

The people of the church are more troublesome and domineering than these nobles, so it is safer to go the route of the aristocracy.

Old Peter, a merchant, must have used his porcelain bowl to curry favor with the nobles.

"The next time Old Peter comes, replace all our cutlery with local pottery." Tang Ping said to Lao Cui and them.

"Childe, you said that old thing came to steal our bowl?" Lao Cui also reacted at this time.

He turned over the bowl of soup in his hand and looked at it: "Isn't he a rich merchant here?" How do you want a handkerchief to blow your nose, and you want a bowl for drinking soup? It's almost the same as our Chang'an City. ”

Lao Cui has followed Tang Ping for so many years, and Tang Ping often shares everything he gets back from the palace, so he eats the best food, so he can't understand that this old Peter is also a local wealthy businessman, and he shamelessly came to cheat a bowl back.

"What is this bowl!!" Tang Ping smiled slightly: "The next time he comes, you take out the night pot you pee in the night, and he is willing to exchange ten cows with him." ”

"What??" This time it was Lao Cui and Lao Du's turn to be surprised, and the two looked at each other: "Our night pot is also valuable here?" Ten cows? ”

In the past, Datang cattle were a scarce commodity, and the price of cattle was not low, and many villages could not make up two cows in one village, let alone ten cows.

"Don't believe me? I don't believe you guys will try to exchange their night pot with him. Tang Ping looked at the construction site over there: "Anyway, when the house here is built, everyone will definitely reclaim some land on this island." ”

These fools don't know yet, they all use celadon night pots sent from the official kiln of the Guoyue kiln in Dongyue.

After listening to Tang Ping's words, Lao Cui turned his head and was about to leave.

"What are you doing?" Tang Ping asked.

"Wash the night pot!" Lao Cui said as a matter of course: "Where is urine not urine?" Come back with ten cows, we can either plow the land or eat!! "Oh, you're disgusting!" Tang Ping said disgustedly: "It's good to have pilaf right away, you have to wash the night pot, and I'm going to lose my appetite when I talk about it, so you can't eat it and go again?" Old Peter won't be back for a while. ”

Lao Cui thought about it for a while, and then sat down again.

Tang Ping and they have temporarily settled down on the island, although they have spent all the money, but at least the house here is slowly being built.

The grain will last for more than a month, and when old Peter returns, it will be good to talk to him about the deal.

Since he knew that the things around him were very valuable here, could Tang Ping still starve himself to death?

The residents of the dock were kind enough to take him in at first, although they made money in front of them, but it was also because of themselves that they left the original dock and moved to this desert island.

There is a smell that I don't kill Beren, and Beren dies because of me.

So Tang Ping felt that he still had to take care of their lives.

Now everyone will wait for old Peter while the house is being repaired.

Tang Ping was waiting for Old Peter, and Old Peter was also waiting for the return of the city lord of Porto.

However, at this time, the city lord of Porto had just reached the national capital.

In this era, Portugal, Spain, and France basically belonged to the Visigothic kingdom.

Originally in Toulouse, France, it moved to Toledo, Spain, in 507 AD, which is much closer to Porto.

The current king is Kindira, who has only recently ascended the throne in 636 AD.

This was also the first time he entertained all the nobles of the country.

"Fabianlo, it's a pleasure to see you here!" William looked at the lord of Porto and greeted with a smile.

Watt City and Porto border, there are always some large and small frictions at the place of handover, so as the lords of the two territories, the relationship between William, the lord of Watt City, and Fabianlo, the lord of Porto, is not harmonious.

"William, I didn't expect you to be here, has the rebellion in your territory been resolved?" Saying that, Fabialo approached Big William and whispered: "I heard that the rebels killed dozens of your soldiers, and then ran away without a trace??" ”

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the two places are adjacent to each other, and the people of the Great Williams have suffered a big defeat, and naturally it has reached Fabiano's ears.

"You!" William glared at Fabianlo, but there was no way to refute it.

"Humph!" With a cold snort, he stopped pretending, and raised his voice by three points and said: "Fabiano, I remember that the previous king invited you to a banquet, but you were so poor that you couldn't even afford a decent gift, are you embarrassed to come this time?" ”

The economically developed regions of Europe in this era were all around the Mediterranean Sea, and the once prosperous Roman civilization, Greek civilization, and later Persian civilization were all around the Mediterranean.

Porto was on the Atlantic side, and a few decades ago it was the border between the Suebi Kingdom and the Visigoths, so the war was fought for many years.

Later, the Suebi was defeated by the Visigoths, and it was completely incorporated into the Visigothic Kingdom.

Compared to the rest of the Visigothic kingdom, Porto is a border zone that has just experienced war, and it is naturally much worse economically.

When the other noble lords heard Big William's words, they all turned their heads to look at Fabianlo.
