583 Tang merchants in Europe

"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for?"

In the king's castle, Dagobert I from the Kingdom of Burgundy said impatiently: "We have been here for many days, but you don't let us see your collection of Tang porcelain first?" ”

Jindila smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness Dagobert, isn't this the Byzantine Heraclius who has not yet arrived?" ”

"Humph!" Dagobert snorted dissatisfiedly: "Heraclius's invincible fellow will come to this banquet?" ”

All the kings and nobles who had received the invitation from Kindira had basically arrived, and the only one who was absent was Heraclius, the king of the Byzantine Empire.

"Heraclius, that guy is really lucky, he was beaten to Constantinople by the Arab Empire, but I didn't expect that a Tang Dynasty appeared at this time and wiped out the Arab Empire!"

"No, otherwise we wouldn't know if we'd ever be able to meet Heraclius!!"

None of you have a good relationship with Heraclius, or the Byzantine Empire.

In particular, the Frankish kingdom reached its peak after they were defeated by the Byzantine Empire in 554 AD.

Had it not been for the emergence of a powerful Arab empire in the south, the Byzantine Empire would certainly not have stopped expanding westward.

But on the other hand, it was the powerful Byzantine Empire that had been defending itself against an even more powerful Arab empire that allowed these countries to live in peace.

So for the feelings of the Byzantine Empire, they are still very complicated, probably a love and hate!!

Of course, Jindila knew that the Byzantine Empire did not have a good relationship with the countries next to him, but it was because of this that he invited them.

His birthday party is fake, and it's real that he wants to take the opportunity to auction things.

In addition to the two precious Tang Dynasty porcelains brought by Fabianlo, he also took out a batch of treasures that he had collected, intending to sell them all at a good price this time.

If everyone who comes is hello, hello, everyone, then this thing won't be able to sell for a price.

On the contrary, if you put together a few people who are somewhat contradictory, you can make them raise each other's prices.

This is also what Fabiano taught him, so now he values Fabiano more and more.

Listening to the other kings' discussions, Jindila hurriedly reassured: "Don't panic, everyone, isn't it my birthday on November 11th, and there are still three days to come?" When the time comes, I will definitely let everyone see my treasured porcelain! ”

At this time, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, His Highness Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire has arrived. ”

"Oh? Here it comes? Jindila didn't expect to be talking to the other party, and the other party arrived.

"Wait a minute, everyone, I'm going to greet His Highness Heraclius." Kindira said.

They are all the lords of a country, and the necessary respect must still be had, and when these kings arrive, they are all greeted by him personally, of course, they cannot favor one over the other, otherwise they may even provoke a war.

"Let's go too!" Dagobert I also stood up and said, "I want to see what Heraclius is so busy with, and this time has come." ”

The other kings also wanted to join in the fun, so it became Kindira who went outside the castle with the kings next to him.

Heraclius' convoy looked gorgeous, full of Macedonian character.

Seeing Kindira come out to greet him, Heraclius also got out of the carriage, but at the same time as he got out of the carriage, he was followed by a person. "Your Highness Heraclius, welcome to the Visigothic Kingdom!" After greeting Hiraclius, Kindira looked at the people beside him with some confusion and asked, "Who is this??" ”

Those who can ride with Heraclius and get off together will inevitably have a low status.

"This is a businessman from Datang, I heard that this birthday party of His Majesty Jindila will auction two treasures of Datang porcelain, very interested. At the same time, he also brought two pieces of Datang porcelain, hoping to participate in His Majesty's auction together! ”

Jindila sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that a Datang businessman really came!

This Tang merchant must be more familiar with the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty than they are, and his cowhides have now been blown out, and it can be said that he has to be sent on the string.

You can't shut up the mouths of the people of the city at this time, right? If this Tang businessman debunks his lies at that time, it will be really shameless.

But at this time, he could only bite the bullet, Jindila smiled a little embarrassedly, and said to the people next to Heraclius: "Welcome, Your Excellency the businessman from Datang!" ”

Although the other party is just a businessman, they dare not despise it, I heard that the cause of this great war between the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire was because the Arab Empire slaughtered a caravan merchant of the Tang Empire, and finally caused the entire powerful Arab Empire to collapse.

"You're welcome! You can call me Lee!! Li Zhi said in a somewhat strange pronunciation.

He was just an ordinary merchant in the Tang Dynasty, who went to the Arab Empire to buy booty with the merchant federation.

However, he is very talented in languages, and after a few months here, he gradually became able to speak some local languages.

He was also very bold, relying on his talent, and began to venture through bandit-ridden Eastern Europe, bringing some goods brought from the Tang Dynasty to Byzantium.

In the first half of the year, he was able to communicate with the locals without barriers, and the goods he brought not only sold for a large price, but also became a guest of King Heraclius.

Even in this auction, because I heard that the finale of Jindila's auction was fine porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, I brought him too.

Heraclius, as the king of the Byzantine Empire, certainly has a lot of money, but he is not the kind of person who is stupid and has a lot of money.

Naturally, we can't let Jindila be pitted.

When they entered the city just now, their people heard all kinds of rumors in the city, and Li Zhi scoffed at this.

What Flame of Heaven fired porcelain? How could Datang have such a thing, and it was even more impossible to say that this was something used by His Majesty.

How could something used by His Majesty spread so far away?

After giving Heraclius a rough explanation, Heraclius decided that it was a hoax by Kindira.

Of course, he didn't mean to debunk the other party, he just wanted to see how other people were fooled and didn't know it.

Dagobert I didn't like these people he knew, and it just so happened that he didn't like these people either.

So it's not bad to take this opportunity to see the jokes of these people.

What's more, he also brought the Tang Dynasty treasures porcelain and silk that Li Zhong sold to him, and he could also sell them at a good price at the auction of Jindila.

The Arab Empire, which had previously threatened him, was defeated by an even more powerful Tang Empire, could he not guard against it?

Naturally, it also requires a lot of money to expand the armament.

Only fools like Dagobert I would indulge in those luxuries.
