614 Egbert who only buys Karma (II)
What Egbert didn't expect was that instead of knives and axes, these people handed over ......
"Ping Guogong, this is the pheasant that I plan to sell in the city today, you see that you have lost weight recently, you can take one back to eat!"
"This is the fat pig that our family has just slaughtered, Ping Guogong heard that you like to eat pig ears, both ears are given to you!"
"Ping Guogong, try the camellia grown by our family, this is fried according to the method you taught, and it tastes delicious!"
Tang Ping could only smile and refuse, if you want to accept one person, others will not let him go.
Now I don't know how many people are gathered here, if you want to collect yourself, how can you collect it?
At the same time, he was also very moved, these people wanted to give themselves the best things when they came back after knowing that they were missing.
"What are they doing?" Egbert asked puzzled, seeing that these people were all smiles on their faces, it was obvious that they were not here to ask for trouble.
However, as far as he knows, if Tang Ping's uncle is the emperor, he should also be a high-ranking nobleman in this empire.
How dare the common people talk and laugh in front of the nobles like this?
If this is in Wessex, no, if it is in Europe, no matter which country, the commoners dare to run over and surround the nobles, and laugh and talk like this, they will be beaten!
"I left Chang'an for a while, didn't I just come back? They just want to give me the good things they have in their hands!! Tang Ping said with some pride: "How is it?" Haven't you ever experienced such a feeling? ”
Egbert shook his head, not to mention the experience, but also never thought about it.
When the commoners saw that the noble lord did not hide far away, and then hid his good things so as not to be taken by the noble lord, they rushed up and offered to give them away.
He could see now that the guards were trying to prevent the people from bringing things, but they didn't seem to be able to stop them.
Tang Ping could only open the car door and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I have received these gifts, today I brought the king of Wessex to talk to our Majesty, so please let you go!" ”
Hearing Tang Ping say this, those people split their ways.
"So that golden retriever is the king of other kings!"
"I'll just say why you look so weird, those eyes are all blue!"
"Don't talk about the eyes, look at his skin, Lao Lin next door to my house has not been white for three days after he died!!"
The road was out of the way, but there were still many people who threw the things in their hands into the body behind his pickup truck when Tang Ping drove by, and Tang Ping didn't have any way.
After entering the city, Tang Ping also took Egbert to Suzaku Avenue, a straight road, leading directly to the imperial city.
The bustling shops on both sides of the road, as well as the various vendors on the roadside, dazzled Egbert even more.
"These are your merchants from the Tang Dynasty?" Egbert suspected that the merchants in Chang'an City alone were estimated to be more numerous than their Wessex army.
In fact, he really didn't guess wrong, if you count these small traders and the clerks in those shops, the number of people is definitely far greater than their army.
Egbert knew that the wealth of a country could be seen from the degree of commercial prosperity it had.
And now that there are lively crowds in the shops on both sides of Suzaku Street, he knows that the wealth of Datang is beyond his imagination.
Not to mention that he saw a lot of shops selling goods, if they were placed in Europe, they would definitely be regarded as top luxury goods, and they were treasures sought after by countless nobles.
But it seems that many ordinary people here can buy at will.
No wonder Tang Ping would say that he was poor that day, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Driving to the gate of the palace, Tang Ping got out of the car with Egbert.
Egbert looked at the guards at the gate of the palace, these guards were naturally wearing the best equipment of the Tang Dynasty, and the bright armor could blind people's eyes in the sun.
It is not that Europe does not have such all-metal armor, but it is something that only the aristocracy can afford. But here, there are hundreds of guards in front of this palace castle, all of them are exactly the same all-metal armor.
I'm afraid that the whole of Sywix doesn't have as much of the all-metal armor as anyone here.
"Ping Guogong, it's really you!" As soon as Tang Ping parked his car in the parking space, he heard someone calling him from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw that it was still an acquaintance, Li Yu, an acquaintance of the Mining Bureau, who played a big role in the last time he targeted those bald monks in Chang'an.
So the guy in the back is also promoted, and now the entire imported mining industry in Datang is going through his hands.
Li ...... What kind of official are you now?? Tang Ping wanted to be called, only to find that he didn't know what the other party was.
"Haha, the blessing of Tuoping Guogong, now he is the left servant of the Ministry of Works."
"Hey, it's all your own ability, and it has nothing to do with me." Tang Ping asked curiously, "So you are now resident in Chang'an?" ”
Last time, Li Yu was in Fusang for a long time.
"No, this time I'm back from Fuso escorting Baiyin."
He looked at Egbert beside Tang Ping and asked curiously, "Who is this adult??" ”
"Just right!" Tang Ping pointed at Egbert and said: "This is now the king of Wessex, Egbert, should go to Africa to mine in the future, and you will definitely have more contact with him at that time." ”
Tang Ping introduced the two of them as interpreters, and then asked casually, "How much silver did you bring back this time?" ”
"More than sixty tons!" Li Yu said a little proudly.
Of course, these are not the output of one mine in Iwami Ginzan, Fuso developed several more mines with the support of Datang, and then the minerals in these mines were exchanged by Datang for various commodities.
No way, now Datang's products are the most popular everywhere.
Datang's words alone are already selling crazy in Fusang.
The Seven Cats Script Specialty Store in Asuka Kyo is crowded every day.
Tang Ping smiled and said to Egbert: "Look, this Master Li has brought back more than sixty tons of silver from Fusang this time. You should believe we're rich, right? ”
"How much?" Egbert didn't understand the meaning of the ton.
Tang Ping converted it for him and said, "It's 60,000 kilograms." ”
This Egbert questioned Datang's financial resources, so naturally he had to know how huge Datang's financial resources were.
"Six...... Ten thousand...... Public...... Jin ......"
Egbert didn't know what to say except for being shocked, and the materials he and Tang Ping had broken with yesterday to take away were probably worth ......
A thousand kilograms of silver!
If it was yesterday, Tang Ping said this to himself, he must have felt that Tang Ping was lying and fooling himself.
But what he saw and heard along the way today, coupled with the majestic city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, made him choose to believe Tang Ping's words.
