The empress glanced at Ren Baqian in the mirror, her eyes wandered, and after a while, she looked at herself in the mirror.

When the green kite coiled her hair, the empress just turned around and heard a crisp and pleasant music, which really felt like crystal, crystal clear.

The melody is delicate and warm, and it makes people feel warm in their hearts.

It's a style that I've never seen or heard before, but it's easy to touch people's hearts.

It's just a short time, but it stops in thirty seconds.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift that the minister has chosen for Your Majesty. Ren Baqian said with a music box in his hand.

"Is this the voice that came out of this?" asked the empress curiously, Ren Baqian had a base in his hand, a crystal ball on it, and three wooden horses in it also rotated when the music sounded.

It's exquisite.

At least the crystal ball and the crystal horse in the crystal ball look exquisite.

"Yes, Your Majesty, just twist the clockwork next to it to make a sound. Ren Baqian said.

The empress took the music box and twisted the clockwork next to it, and the sound sounded again. And the three Trojan horses were also slowly rotating with the sound inside.

"You have a heart. The empress fiddled with the music box and said.

Ren Baqian continued: "This is the candy that the minister brought back. There are also ministers who know that His Majesty likes spirits, so they specially sought out twenty-four bottles of fine wine to give to His Majesty. ”

"Bring it up. ”

Ren Baqian handed the candy to the green kite on the side, ran back and moved the two boxes over to open them, took out a bottle and unscrewed it to show how to open it, and then screwed the lid and presented it.

Ordinary glass bottles are extremely simple in China, and people in this world don't think so.

After all, Chinese people are used to seeing such things as glass, but it is still very rare for people in this world.

The empress held the mouth of the bottle with two fingers, her fingers were as delicate as tender wattles, and her skin was as white as clotted fat, and she couldn't tell that this hand could dismantle Gundam with one hand.

The bottle is transparent, and you can see that the wine inside is clear and transparent, and there are no impurities at all. That alone was enough to satisfy the empress.

"You can dine with me. Hongluan, let people inform the imperial dining room" The empress said to Ren Baqian, and casually threw the wine to the green kite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ren Baqian hurriedly said. This is the first time, it used to be the empress eating him and watching, and the empress sat and stood with him.

Now the treatment has improved.

In the past, the empress used to dine in this palace, and a table was placed in front of her, after all, the empress's life was not luxurious at all in terms of her status, and it was generally just four dishes and one soup.

This time, I came to another hall, and there was a table at least three or four meters long.

The empress is at the top, and Ren Baqian is standing with her hands on the side.

"Sit down. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ren Baqian sat down not far below.

"Tell me what your country is like, I'm very curious. I don't know what the outer world looks like. ”

Ren Baqian thought for a moment and asked, "What does Your Majesty want to hear?"

"What do you Huaguo powerhouses look like?"

Ren Baqian pondered for a moment, this is really hard to speak. The strongest estimate of Huaguo is equivalent to the commoners of the ancient race, at most a little stronger.

"Your Majesty, each world has different rules and different scenes. In China, it is not by force that the strong or the weak are judged, but by the mind, wisdom, and knowledge.

We make all kinds of instruments. There are vehicles that can run without horsepower, and they are lightning fast. There are planes that can fly with people in the air. There is also the Internet that allows people to know things thousands of miles away in an instant.

Individual prowess has been replaced by equipment. A firearm can take a person's life from a thousand paces away, and it can be fired more than ten times in an instant. Artillery can attack from a distance where the human eye can't see it, and nuclear weapons can destroy a city from thousands of miles away. ”

"Thousands of miles away, destroy the city, how can there be such a thing in the world?" the empress said with a slight surprise.

Ren Baqian looked up at the empress's somewhat surprised expression, and also smiled.

Although the earthlings are not strong in force, all kinds of technology can still shock you.

"Indeed, within a radius of ten miles is like purgatory, there are no people or animals, and such weapons are forbidden to be used because of their great power. ”

"Such a murder weapon should be banned. The empress said with a deep sigh.

"Yes, as the minister said before, the Chinese determine a person's status with their brains, wisdom, and knowledge, and develop a variety of social divisions according to their interests and abilities.

Gather the wisdom of many people to make life more convenient, explore the mysteries of the world, and understand the nature of the world as the purpose of development. ”

"Our society is more stable and people's lives are richer. Although there are rich and poor, most ordinary people can say that they are rich in life. ”

"The basics such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are not things that most people need to think about, most people think about getting a better life. ”

"The human heart is always insufficient. The empress said quietly.

"People are not enough, they want to get more, they want to know more, and the whole world will progress, otherwise it will become a pool of stagnant water. ”

Ren Baqian probably told the empress about some things about Huaguo, but he tried to say it as best as possible, after all, he also had the idea that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.

Just like on Earth, if your country is rich and strong, you will be more respected abroad.

Although the specifics still depend on the individual, when in a foreign country, the strength of the country is also a plus point for a person.

The treatment of a strong country is completely different from that of a weak country.

Although it doesn't have that much influence here, he is still willing to do it to say Hua Guo better.

While he was talking, the dishes were also delivered.

Ren Baqian stopped talking, but got up and poured a glass of wine for the empress.

The empress smelled the taste and drank it all before nodding and saying, "Not bad." "I like it from the look on my face.

"If there is enough food, this wine can be brewed. Ren Baqian said.

"I'll leave this matter to you, and after a while, I will go to the Qingxin Hall to select the exercises, and after you have the foundation, I will send someone to you to see if the iron mine can expand its production, and how to improve the ironmaking, and then brew the wine." You don't need much, just enough to drink in the palace. The empress said after thinking about it.

Ren Baqian nodded, this matter is not difficult.

In fact, Dayao is not lacking in food, but it is mostly meat, vegetables, rice and noodles, and there is a big gap. Therefore, the empress did not dare to make too much.

"In fact, it is possible to make wine and exchange grain, salt and even iron tools with Yunguo, Chen and Daxia, and this kind of high-grade wine must also have a considerable market in those two countries. It's just that I don't know what kind of wine the wine at the palace dinner is in those two countries?" asked Ren Baqian.

At the time of the dinner that day, the wine in the palace was much better than that taken out by the stone steward, but it was still quite different from the height of the earth, in terms of taste and color. Ren Baqian wanted to know what grade the wine was in other countries.

"It's kind of superior. ”

"That's it, if you can make better wine than them, you can sell it to other countries at a high price and buy the materials you need, and then you can make a profit. What others don't have but need will have high value. There has always been a big market for this kind of thing. Ren Baqian laughed.

The empress put the chopsticks aside, listened carefully to his words, and thought slightly: "It's a way, I have allowed this matter." Do this after you get the rest done. If you do it well, I will be rewarded. ”
