The first day of the trade conference was the opening ceremony, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Zhao Yao, the King of Han, and announced the opening of the first trade conference in Marsh Province.

At the opening ceremony, His Royal Highness Zhao Yao, the King of Han, first released a speech, and the content of the speech will not be repeated here, but it can be summarized as welcoming people from all over the world to do business in Marsh Mansion.

After giving a speech, Zhao Yao rang the gong for the official start of the trade conference. Then, a lot of firecrackers were set off, and it was very lively. Finally, the people of Marsh Province performed a dragon dance and a lion dance, which was very festive.

After the performance, His Royal Highness will lead the distinguished guests who came to the trade conference to visit the commodity exhibition.

At the pier of Marsh Province, each place will have its own "exhibition hall" to display the goods they bring. An "exhibition hall" is actually a simple room with a lot of shelves on which to attract customers.

Exhibits are distinguished by place, not by individual. For example, Lingnan Exhibition Hall, Beijing Exhibition Hall, Yangzhou Exhibition Hall, Annam Exhibition Hall, Johor Exhibition Hall, etc.

As the host of the trade conference, the Yeongnam Exhibition Hall is the largest. In the Yeongnam Exhibition Hall, not only the things of Marsham Province are displayed, but also the specialties of other Yeongnam state capitals are displayed.

Zhao Yao first led the distinguished guests to visit the Lingnan Exhibition Hall. The first thing you see is the special products of Lingnan, such as fruits, medicinal herbs, food, etc.

Before the trade conference, the people had already set up stalls to display these unique things in Lingnan, and the guests who came from afar had already eaten them.

The guests of the foreign royal family were not very interested in these specialties. In their eyes, these things are eaten by civilians, and they do not meet their status.

The things they are interested in are things like glass, soap, salt, and sugar.

When they saw all kinds of exquisite glass things on the shelves, they were stunned one by one.

These beautiful glass products are newly fired and have not yet been sold. When they heard that these very beautiful glasses had not yet been sold, the faces of the Gentile royals lit up.

Zhao Yao, as the honorable His Royal Highness the King of Han, led these people to visit the exhibition hall, and he had already lowered his figure. It would be too detrimental to his identity if he was still allowed to explain it, so it was up to someone else to introduce these things to the Gentiles.

The people in charge of explaining to the Gentiles are the "talents" who came to the Swamp Mansion before and failed to make the list.

The glass products specially fired for the trade conference this time are very high-end things, in line with the status of foreign dignitaries.

There are glass cutlery such as bowls, plates, basins, jars, cups, chopsticks, etc. These cutlery are very brightly colored and very opulent. These foreign guests like luxurious and rich colors, unlike the Great Zhou people who like to be plain and elegant.

There are glass jewelry, such as earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, hairpins, hairpins, etc. These glass jewels, which are very delicately made, sparkle in the sunlight, and shine more than gold and silver jewelry, are very popular with foreign guests, especially princesses.

There are glass vases, such as long-necked bottles, round bottles, square bottles, etc. There are also vases in the shape of various animals. These glass vases also come in a variety of colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, etc.

There are glass furniture, such as coffee tables, tables, chairs, beds, etc. These glass furniture also come in many colors, and they are also carved with delicate patterns, representing auspicious animal patterns.

There are glass lanterns, such as the lanterns of the Great Zhou, the lanterns of foreign countries, and the lanterns of the countries of the Western Regions.

……

……

……

There are also many glass products, so I won't go into detail one by one.

The foreign guests were dazzled by the exquisite glass products in front of them, and for a moment they did not know which one to buy, and they wanted to buy them all.

Not to mention that the foreign guests were shocked by these glass products, even the officials in Zhao Yao's small court were also amazed. Although they had seen a lot of glass things before, none of them looked as good as the glass in front of them.

Zhao Yao was very satisfied when he saw that the foreign guests were looking greedily at the glass products on the shelves. Many people have already started to ask him about the price and want to renew the glass business with him.

After visiting the glassware, Zhao Yao then led the foreign guests to see things such as salt, sugar, chili pepper and pepper.

Before the trade conference, these Gentile guests had already seen salt and sugar, chili peppers, and other things. However, the salt and sugar shown this time are more "premium".

As soon as these foreign royals heard the word "high-class", their expressions became excited. They have a noble status, and they feel that only high-end things are worthy of them, such as the salt and sugar in the Swamp Mansion restaurant, and how can things such as chili peppers be worthy of them, because these things are eaten by ordinary people.

Not only did the foreign royals like to put on a show, unwilling to eat the same things and wear the same fabrics as the common people, but even the officials and wealthy people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like this. They felt that their status was noble, and that what they ate, used, clothed, and lived in should be nobler than that of the common people.

The salt and sugar displayed in the exhibition hall are not high-end, but they are more delicate when they are made.

As Zhao Yao expected, the foreign royal guests were very fond of the salt and sugar displayed in the exhibition hall. After coming to the swamp mansion and eating fine salt, they realized that the salt they had eaten before was like pebbles. As for white sugar, they had never eaten it before. After coming to Marsh Mansion and eating white sugar, they fell in love with the sweetness of white sugar.

Since Zhao Yao made white sugar and promoted a lot of food made with white sugar, the people of Marsh Mansion, merchants from the interior, and foreign guests liked to eat these foods very much.

Seeing that the guests like to eat white sugar so much, the chefs of the restaurant in Marsh Mansion put a lot of white sugar in each dish.

During this time, because of eating all kinds of things made of sugar every day, the guests from other places and foreign countries have gained a lot of weight.

Zhao Yao felt that if they stayed in the swamp mansion for a month, it was estimated that they would gain at least two laps of weight. Eating too much sugar is not good for the body, so he specially posted a notice to warn him, but the result has no effect. I don't know if it was too hard to live in the past, but now everyone likes to eat sugar to sweeten their lives.

In addition to white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, and candies were also displayed. These were not available before, and they were specially made by Zhao Yao from Nanshan Farm.

I learned that brown sugar is good for a woman's body, and it can also maintain beauty and beauty. The princesses of the foreign countries did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered brown sugar from Zhao Yao. For princesses, a moment of hesitation is disrespectful to themselves.

There are two kinds of rock sugar, one is crystal clear white rock sugar, and the other is yellow rock sugar. Either way, it can be very sweet and is very popular with foreign guests.

There are also two types of candies, one is fructose and the other is lactose. There are many flavors of fructose, such as lychee, apple, banana, longan, etc. There are many flavors of lactose, one is pure milk, one is nougat, and the other is milk fruit.

After the gentlemen had tasted the sweets, they ordered them without saying a word, and they had to order a lot.

Next up is a tour of fabrics and embroidery.

The unique embroidery of Lingnan is different from the inland and different from the foreign, which is very distinctive. The gentlemen had never seen it, and they were very surprised, and they ordered a lot.

At present, the fabrics of Da Zhou include cloth, yarn, silk, Luo, silk and satin. Last year, Zhao Yao asked the embroidery girls to make the brocade, but it was unsuccessful until two months ago. Zhao Yao originally gave the name "Lingnan Brocade", but he felt that it was too awkward, so he directly called it "Yun Jin", borrowing the Yun Jin of Zhao Yao's world in his dream.

Zhao Yao originally wanted the embroidery girls to make the silk, but this thing is not easy to weave, so it has not been successful.

Yunjin is very precious, every inch of brocade is golden, which is in line with the identity of foreign royal guests. Knowing that Yunjin was very few, and the Great Zhou royal family did not have it, the distinguished guests of the foreign royal family did not hesitate and hurriedly ordered it from Zhao Yao.

Then, Zhao Yao led the foreign dignitaries to visit the display of agricultural tools.

The agricultural implements of these foreign countries were very backward, and there were no zigzag plows and no waterwheels. After listening to the introduction, after finding that Da Zhou's farm tools were so easy to use, they also ordered a batch from Zhao Yao.

Although the farming implements did not suit the status of foreign royals, they also wanted more and more food in their country.

Zhao Yao originally wanted to show the fertilizer, but then after thinking about it, he forgot it. If the grain production of these foreign countries increases because of fertilizer, there may be undesirable thoughts. Moreover, whether the people of other countries can eat enough or not has nothing to do with him.

Next is the weapons, of course, the old weapons on display, not the new weapons made by Zhao Yao, black fire, firearms, and pistols are impossible to display. On display are weapons such as bows and arrows, knives, swords, and spears that were eliminated by the Great Zhou a few years ago.

The weapons eliminated by the Great Zhou were very advanced for foreign countries. Their iron-smelting and forging skills are much more backward than those of the Great Zhou.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Han was still selling weapons, the dignitaries of the foreign royal family were very shocked, they felt that Zhao Yao was too bold and dared to sell weapons to them. They tried out the weapons on display and found them to be very sharp and easy to use. They were afraid that Zhao Yao would regret it, so they hurriedly ordered these weapons from His Royal Highness the King of Han.

Zhao Yao saw that these old weapons could make a lot of money, and his heart was happy. In the future, you can continue to use the waste and sell the waste that you don't want in the Great Zhou to these foreign countries.

After shopping around the weapon shelves, Zhao Yao led the foreign VIPs to the last row of shelves. There are several boxes on the shelves, and the boxes contain porcelain, but not ordinary porcelain, but blue and white porcelain.

At the beginning of this year, Zhao Yao asked the craftsmen of the porcelain factory to find a way to make blue and white porcelain. It wasn't until a month ago that the craftsmen finally succeeded in making blue and white porcelain.

When Zhao Yao opened the box, revealing the delicate and elegant blue and white porcelain inside, everyone present gasped in shock.

Needless to say, just look at the glaze of blue and white porcelain, and the royal guests of foreign countries know its preciousness. Zhao Yao hasn't said to sell it yet, these people are going to buy it, and the price is very high.

Zhao Yao told them that these blue and white porcelains could not be sold to them for the time being, because he had to pay tribute to the imperial court in the capital. After obtaining the permission of the imperial court in the capital, he could make blue and white porcelain and sell it to them.

Yun Jin made it, and did not pay tribute to the capital court as soon as possible. Blue and white porcelain can't stop paying tribute, otherwise it will definitely be scolded by the stinky father.

The guests of the foreign royal family knew that blue and white porcelain was by no means available to ordinary people, and must be exclusively used by the royal family. Although they were anxious to want it, they also knew that the tribute of the Great Zhou royal family could not be sold to them casually. They had to get the consent of the Great Zhou Emperor before they could buy blue and white porcelain.

Zhao Yao appeased these foreign guests, saying that they were friends of the Great Zhou, and the imperial court would definitely agree to him selling them blue and white porcelain, and let them wait for the time being.

Hearing His Royal Highness the King of Han say this, the dignitaries of the foreign countries said that they would always be friends of the Great Zhou, and they were willing to wait, as long as they wanted.

After all the things in the Lingnan Exhibition Hall were displayed, the foreign guests praised them and said that they had opened their eyes. They also want to see the things in the Lingnan Exhibition Hall again, and they don't want to go to other exhibition halls for the time being. (End of chapter)
