Chapter 401: Got a Mine at Home?

Wang Qingyun didn't want to get the news of Spice Island from Chao Heng, as Chao Heng said, if the envoys of the Japanese State really knew about Spice Island, how could they not bring spices to the Tang Dynasty? Moreover, even if Chao Heng really knew the news of Spice Island, it was impossible to tell others, no matter who knew about Spice Island, it would be kept secret, after all, the fewer people who knew, the better, so he didn't want to get the news of Spice Island from Chao Heng's mouth, seeing that Chao Heng was only about to swear by a gambling curse, Wang Qingyun smiled.

"Lord Chao's words, of course I believe that I have not been here for the sake of Spice Island for the past few days."

Chao Heng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, wasn't it for the matter of Spice Island? What's that for? Puzzled, Chao Heng asked suspiciously.

"What is that boy looking for me?"

Wang Qingyun said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm very interested in the culture of the Wa Kingdom, but I don't know much about the Wa Kingdom, so I want to ask the Asah-sama."

Chao Heng was shocked when he heard this, and the people of the Tang Dynasty, from the monarchs and ministers to the people, all felt that the Wa Kingdom was a small and wild country overseas, but he didn't expect that there were still people interested in their Wa Kingdom, Chao Heng was suddenly excited, and hurriedly said.

"Although our country is located overseas, thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, it has a vast area, rich products, our people are industrious and simple, and our emperor is wise and martial......"

As soon as he talked about his motherland, Chao Heng gushed endlessly, and finally found someone who was willing to listen, it was not easy! However, Wang Qingyun listened very helplessly, you are still embarrassed to say that you have a vast territory? What the hell is the Emperor? Dare to call yourself the emperor? Where do you place the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Sure enough, it is a small overseas wild country, not measuring its own strength, sitting in a well and watching the sky, Wang Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Lord Chao, I heard that your country is rich in silver?"

Chao Heng was slightly stunned and said with a smile.

"Silver, there are some."

Wang Qingyun said with a smile.

"It's not just some, I've heard that there is a silver mine in your country, which contains more silver than all the silver in the Tang Dynasty combined."

Chao Heng quickly shook his head and said.

"I don't know where Wang Gongzi heard the rumors, we do have a lot of silver mines in the Wa Kingdom, and I have never heard of such a large silver mine in the Wa Kingdom."

Is there really a lot of silver mines? It's just that such a large silver mine has never been found? Did you never find out or didn't you want to tell? Wang Qingyun laughed.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect the products of the Japanese country to be so rich, it's really impressive!"

Chao Heng said with a smile.

"Where is it, the son has won the award, although our country is good, it is not as rich as the Tang Dynasty, and the people are outstanding."

Isn't this nonsense? You little Wa Kingdom still want to compare with our Datang? Wang Qingyun asked curiously.

"I just heard from Lord Chao that the territory of the Wa Kingdom is vast, and I don't know how big the Wa Kingdom is?"

Chao Heng said with a smile.

"Of course, it can't be compared with Datang, the vastness of Datang's territory is dozens of times that of our Wa Kingdom."

How big is the kingdom of the Japanese! It turned out that it was not as big as Datang's, Wang Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Then I don't know how many people there are in the country?"

In fact, Wang Qingyun wanted to know more about how many soldiers and horses there were in the Wa Kingdom, but that question was too direct, Chao Heng said with a smile.

"The population of our country is naturally far less than that of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Lord Chao has not been in Datang for a short time, do you think that our soldiers in Datang have the elite of your country?"

Chao Heng hurriedly replied.

"The Tang army deters the Quartet, of course, it is not comparable to the soldiers of our Japanese country."

"I had a great time talking with Lord Chao today! When the adults have time, let's drink tea and chat together. ”

Wang Qingyun said with a smile.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Chao Heng, who walked out of the teahouse, was still very puzzled, he didn't know what the son of the Taiyuan royal family was looking for him, originally he thought he wanted to ask about the spice island, but he didn't expect it to be not, why is that? Is it really just for small talk? Want to learn more about their Japanese nation? While walking, Chao Heng thought about it carefully, suddenly he stopped, his face changed drastically, the prince asked him if the country was rich in silver, and asked him how big the country was, and asked him how many people the country had, and asked him how powerful the soldiers of the country were, and recalled all these words, he couldn't help but gasp, what did this prince of the Taiyuan family want to do? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty actually wants to use troops against them? This is a big trouble, the longer he stays in Datang, the more he can realize the strength of Datang, the national strength of their Wa Kingdom is far less than Datang, the only thing he is fortunate about is that Datang and Wa Guo are separated by thousands of miles of oceans, but now he feels that even if it is across thousands of miles of ocean, it is not safe to blame that Huating Hou, who brought back dozens of carts of spices, and now up to the Xungui family down to the dawn of the people, they all want to go to sea to make a fortune, it is foreseeable that the next Datang will definitely be crazy about shipbuilding, build a lot of ships, Thinking that there will be many, many sea ships in the Tang Dynasty, this is very scary, thinking of the question of the prince of the Wang family, it is even more terrifying, and after a while, Chao Heng suddenly thought of a little, that person claimed to be the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, of course the Taiyuan Wang family is a big family, but the son of the Taiyuan Wang family is not a character like Hua Tinghou who can speak in the court, what are you afraid of? If these words came from the mouth of the Marquis of Huating, then he should hurry back to pack his things and return to the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible to report the news, so as to deal with the invasion of the Tang army, but these words are from the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, so there is a fart? Can the son of the Taiyuan royal family still say that the emperor can't move troops against them? Thinking of this, Chao Heng's heart suddenly calmed down again, what a false alarm! However, he still felt very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what the prince of the Wang family wanted to do with those questions? Is it simply curiosity about their Japanese country? Or is there another intention? He was suddenly stunned in his heart, the Taiyuan royal family wouldn't want to occupy their kingdom, right? Poof~ Chao Heng couldn't help but laugh out loud, although the Taiyuan royal family is famous in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Wa Kingdom thousands of miles overseas! If this is the case, then their Wa Kingdom can make a windfall, how many sea ships and how much equipment will the Taiyuan royal family send them? He suddenly looked forward to it, hoping that the Taiyuan Wang family really thought about their country, where is this Wang family's son, this is clearly a fortune boy, just when Chao Heng was thinking about it and laughing, suddenly a hand slapped on his shoulder, and Chao Heng jumped, wouldn't it be Wang Gongzi's guards who followed again? Chao Heng nodded a little weakly, only to find that it was a stranger, and it was also a person who looked like a guard, but it was not the same person, Chao Heng squeezed out an amiable smile on his face and asked.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

The guard gestured with his hand.

"Our son-in-law is invited!"

"Didn't you just separate?"

Chao Heng was a little weak-hearted.

The guard wondered.

"What has just separated? What are you talking about? ”

It's not the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, Chao Heng coughed dryly.

"Dare to ask who your son is?"

The guard said impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense, come with me!"

Rely on ~ It turned out to be so horizontal, the sons of the Taiyuan Wang family just now were not so horizontal, Chao Heng was indignant in his heart, I am also an envoy of a country, Chao Heng hurriedly smiled.

"Yes, yes, please lead the way."

The guards turned their heads and left, but Chao Heng followed behind, but he was lamenting in his heart, people had to bow their heads under the eaves! I just don't know who this son is, next to it is the branch of the Hailukong Restaurant, Chao Heng followed the guards into the Hailukong Restaurant, the Hailukong Restaurant is popular in Chang'an, Chaoheng is naturally thunderous, but he hasn't eaten once, it's not that he doesn't want to go, it's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but he can't get on the list at all! Unexpectedly, today, he actually walked into the sea, land and air restaurant, I have to say, this son is really atmospheric, pedaling on the second floor, the rich and attractive fragrance made him can't help but swallow saliva, so fragrant, it simply hooked out all the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs, followed the guards to a table near the window, there was only one person on that table, was eating happily, Chao Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it, what a waste! How difficult it is to book a table at the Sea, Land and Air Restaurant! It was too extravagant to eat alone, and when he got closer and saw it clearly, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that it was him! No wonder it was so extravagant, Chao Heng recognized who it was at a glance, so he became more and more respectful, the eldest grandson of the little grandfather of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, except for the prince, the one who removed Li Jiazhuang, this little grandfather can be said to be the biggest gentleman in Chang'an City, his father's eldest grandson Wuji is a high-powered Zhao Guogong, and his aunt is the queen of the world, and the emperor and queen are harmonious, and the couple is deeply affectionate.

"Chao Heng, meet the little grandfather."

Changsun Chong picked up a piece of tender mutton shabu and dipped it in the sauce, and then put it in his mouth, sighed beautifully, it was so delicious, Li Yong really could enjoy it, he could figure out such a delicious dish, not to mention the eating Changsun Chong, even Chao Heng who glanced at it couldn't stand it, it was too delicious to smell and look at, I didn't expect to be able to taste the food of the sea, land and air restaurant with the little grandfather of Zhao Guo's mansion today, swallowed the food in his mouth, and Changsun Chong turned his head and smiled.

"The envoy is coming?"

It stands to reason that the envoy of a country still has some cards, but the envoy of the Japanese state has no cards, on the one hand, because the Japanese state is lonely overseas and will not have any conflict with the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, because Li Yong does not want to see the Japanese state, so the attitude of the government and the opposition towards the Japanese state has changed.

"I don't know what the little grandfather is looking for me?"

Chao Heng asked respectfully, and glanced at the seat next to him, as if the eldest grandson had no intention of inviting him to sit at all! This is inevitably too ignorant of their Japanese country, right? It's just that Huating Hou doesn't take their Wa Kingdom in his eyes, you haven't participated in politics for a little grandfather, why? It's infuriating! It's so rude! Changsun Chong asked with a smile.

"There are a few questions I want to ask when I am looking for the envoy of the court, I heard that the Japanese country is rich in silver, is it true?"

Chao Heng was stunned when he heard this, how could it be about silver again? Why did the eldest grandson Chong also hear that their country was rich in silver? This is definitely not accidental, who do they all listen to? Chao Heng suddenly woke up in his heart, but did the eldest grandson Chong and the prince of the Wang family know? No, it is very likely that this matter has already spread, just like the Spice Island, thinking of the Spice Island, he thought of Li Yong, and suddenly his heart was awe-inspiring, this must have spread from Li Yong again, the question is how did Li Yong know that their country was rich in silver? They do have a lot of silver in the Japanese country, but the Japanese country and the Tang Dynasty are far away from each other, can Li Yong still be able to pinch it? If it was just that the prince of the Wang family said that their country was rich in silver, Chao Heng was not afraid, and even laughed out loud, but the eldest grandson Chong also asked so, and it was even likely that it was passed on by Li Yong, so he couldn't be happy, not only could he not be happy, but even felt a chill in his heart, Chao Heng shook his head and said in a loud voice.

"No, it's impossible, our country is just a small country hanging overseas, the land is small, barren, how can there be silver?"

Eldest Sun Chong stared at Chao Heng tightly and asked suspiciously.

"Really?"

Chao Heng nodded very sincerely.

"Really! I don't believe that the little grandfather looks at my sincere eyes, I Chaoheng has never lied in my life. ”

I don't remember if I lied, Chao Heng silently added in his heart, and Chao Heng asked tentatively.

"Where did the little grandfather hear these rumors?"

Eldest Sun Chong said lightly.

"It's just that I heard someone say something casually, and I'm curious, so I'm just looking for the envoy to ask!"

Chao Heng said sincerely.

"No matter who said it, the little grandfather can't say it lightly! Our country is far away from the ocean, and he has never been to our country at all, but it is just speculation. ”

The eldest grandson asked in a deep voice.

"But why have I heard that there is a silver mine in your country, which contains more silver than the silver of our entire Tang Dynasty?"

How is this statement again! Chao Heng's heart was shocked, Li Yong is really ruthless! actually made up such a lie, this is to pit their Japanese country to death! As a native of the Japanese country, how could he not know that there was such a large silver mine in the Japanese country? Chao Heng replied in a loud voice.

"What a silver mine! Nothing! How big is our country? How can there be such a big silver mine, as the saying goes, the puppet is innocent and guilty! There must be someone who has an enmity with our Japanese country, and seeing that our Japanese country is not pleasing to the eye, he made up such a lie, but the little grandfather must not believe it! I don't know why such a rumor suddenly came out, and I ask the little grandfather to defend us one or two! ”

Chao Heng barely raised his hand and swore an oath, and said very sincerely, because he really didn't know that there was such a silver mine in the Wa Kingdom, and Changsun Chong said with some suspicion.

"I just listened to someone say it casually, and asked out of curiosity, why do you seem so nervous?"

A smile appeared on Chao Heng's face and said with a smile.

"Nervous? Do I look nervous? I'm not nervous at all! ”

Eldest Sun Chong said with a smile.

"It's good not to be nervous, it's okay not to be nervous, just casual chat!"
