"Holy Son of Heaven, the Heavenly Khan pacifies the Quartet, and all the countries where the sun and the moon shine are concubines.

Tubo lived in the wilderness and did not know the strength of the central dynasty, so he was not courteous.

In the battle of Songzhou, Tubo has already comprehended the power of the Holy Son of Heaven, and is willing to add wings for the Heavenly Khan to send in the future.

The Khan of Wangtian gave me the opportunity to worship Tibet, regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

Early the next morning, Lu Dongzan knelt on the smooth ground of the Taiji Hall and said these extremely humble words.

Before entering Gyeonggi Province, Lu Dongzan did not prepare this set of rhetoric.

However, what he has seen and heard in the past few days has made him deeply aware of the gap between the two countries.

Tubo was already in danger after the First World War, but now the Tang Dynasty seems to have been completely unaffected.

War is about wealth, and Datang is now so rich that he hires labor to build a country.

Such a powerful central dynasty, Tubo, could not be provoked, so Lu Dongzan could only use the most humble attitude to dissipate the anger in Li Shimin's heart.

After listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Li Shimin said: "Tubo is here to calm down for the time being. ”

After Lu Dongzan got up, Li Shimin continued: "I, Datang, have always been kind to my neighbors, and I have never taken the initiative to bully neighboring countries.

The battle of Songzhou was initiated by Tubo, and although I was angry in my heart, I did not have the intention of destroying your country.

Abandoning the sect and praising it is not enough to know that it is wrong, and it is not for oneself.

I only hope that in the future, the people of Tubo will be able to keep to themselves and not invade my Tang Tianwei again. ”

Although Li Shimin said in his mouth that he was not for himself, he also told Lu Dongzan vaguely:

Although Lao Tzu hit you very hard this time, he still showed mercy.

In the future, it is better for Tubo to give Lao Tzu some points, otherwise Lao Tzu has the ability to destroy you.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Lu Dongzan saluted and said: "My family Zampu has long known his mistakes, and he will definitely keep to himself in the future." ”

Li Shimin said: "It is really not what I wish to use the sword in vain, and it is best for your family Zampu to have such thoughts." ”

Lu Dongzan once again assured Li Shimin, and then requested: "The Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, and the products are abundant.

My family Zampu has also admired the culture of the Celestial Empire for a long time, and hopes that the Heavenly Khan will allow the trade between the two countries to be opened.

It is also good that the people of Tibet will have the opportunity to see the culture of the Celestial Empire. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said: "There is no need to rush the matter of trade for the time being, I will arrange someone to discuss with you in detail later."

Foreign history can also take this opportunity to take a turn in Chang'an City, and it is good to make a decision in his heart. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Lu Dongzan bowed down and agreed.

He had limited knowledge of Datang before, and originally just wanted to trade some silk, porcelain and other popular goods with Datang.

Now that he has seen the prosperity of Datang, he also wants to investigate again to see what other commodities can be traded.

So Li Shimin arranged for Tang Jian, the secretary of Honglu Temple, to personally accompany Lu Dongzan and others to visit Chang'an City.

Speaking of which, Tang Jian is also a wonderful person, and he can be regarded as an old man by Li Shimin's side.

However, apart from playing a small role in the campaign to destroy the Eastern Turks in the early years of Zhenguan, he did nothing for most of the time.

It can be said that Tang Jian has basically not sat in any official position for a long time over the years.

This is mainly related to Tang Jian's personality.

He belongs to the kind of personality that has a bold personality and is not informal, and basically does not pay attention to anything at work.

His only hobby besides playing is eating.

When Tang Jian heard that Li Shimin asked him to receive Lu Dongzan and his party, he immediately happily agreed.

He is familiar with this kind of business!

Speaking of playing, who else can compare to him in this Manchu Dynasty?

So Tang Jian took Lu Dongzan and others to leave the Taiji Hall and went directly to the West Market.

Not only does it sell a wide variety of goods, but it is also full of snack bars.

The reason why Tang Jian brought them here first was to satisfy his appetite while working.

So soon, Lu Dongzan and the others each held a sugar gourd in one hand.

Carrying a bunch of other snacks in one hand, he followed Tang Jian and shuttled through the crowd.

The main customers facing Xishi are the ordinary people in Chang'an City.

Therefore, the main items sold in it are wide variety and affordable prices.

Lu Dongzan and the others looked at the vegetables and fruits placed on the stalls one by one, and the seafood gluttony almost didn't flow directly into the saliva.

Deep inland, in addition to the fish and shrimp in the river, you can also see yaks, Tibetan sheep and horses all over the mountains.

When have they ever seen so much vegetables and seafood? It can even be said that they have never even heard of seafood.

When Tang Jian saw the appearance of several people, he immediately picked up a lobster more than a foot long from the stall of a seafood vendor.

He shook off the ice attached to the lobster and handed it directly to Lu Dongzan's hand.

"This thing is called lobster, and the origin is the southeast coast of my Tang Dynasty, so you can take a closer look."

Tang Jian said with pride on his face.

Tang Jian has enough reason to be proud.

With today's traffic conditions, it takes at least two months to get to Chang'an Road from the southeast coast.

In such a long time, the relative freshness of lobsters can be guaranteed, and no other country can do it except Datang.

All this is thanks to the cold chain transportation method proposed by Li Zhi.

After the seafood is salvaged, it is frozen in ice and then transported to Chang'an all the way to Chang'an by specially designed transport boats.

Whether it's flash freezing technology or a dedicated transport vessel, it all requires a lot of investment.

Therefore, if you want to eat a meal of seafood in Chang'an City, it will naturally not be cheap.

However, although the price of seafood is very expensive, it is completely affordable for many wealthy families in Chang'an City.

As a result, the income of the seafood vendors is very considerable.

Lu Dongzan held this huge lobster in his hand and studied it carefully for a long time.

Unfortunately, he didn't find anything other than the hard shell of the lobster.

Tang Jian looked up at the sky and simply said, "It's a big deal, and when you come from afar, this official naturally wants to entertain you well."

Now that it's noon, the official invited a few people to taste the folk food of my Tang Dynasty. ”

After saying this, he took the lobster from Lu Dongzan's hand and returned it to the vendor, and then took a few people to the Jin King Pavilion.

The office funds of Honglu Temple are still very rich, so Tang Jian can be said to be not distressed at all when he spends the money.

Lu Dongzan and the others were taken by Tang Jian to a private room on the third floor of the Jin King Pavilion like puppets.

Tang Jian took a menu and pointed out to the maid casually, and then began to chat with a few people.

It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then a row of maids took turns serving the food.

And Lu Dongzan and the others soon enjoyed the many delicacies they had coveted for a long time on the table.
