Chapter 800: Harvest!

"The messenger of the Kingdom of Zhenla pays a visit to His Majesty the

Emperor of Tang~!"

"The Envoy of the Funan Kingdom meets His Majesty the Emperor of Tang~!"

"The Envoy of the Kingdom of Pui pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of

Tang~!"

As Li Xiaogong's voice fell, a group of people with different skin colors and

costumes came downstairs. They performed various etiquettes and respectfully

said to Li Er.

Some people spoke in their native language, and some spoke in very blunt

Chinese. Upon seeing this, Li Xiaogong hurriedly assigned a middle-aged scribe

to help with translation.

After Li Er listened to Longyan Dayue, as an emperor, there was nothing bad

about being happy, but each emperor had a different focus.

"Haha~! Good~! Where is Cui Aiqing~?"

Cui Shanfu emerged from the hundreds of civil and military officials, and

said, "The old minister is here!"

"Bring the envoys of various countries to Hongyou Temple to be entertained,

and there must be no difference! Three days later, I will summon all countries

at the Great Dynasty Conference!"

In the Tang Dynasty, Honghe Temple was one of the nine temples. It held

tributes, banquets, gifts, and welcomes to the four bari people, as well as

the ban on the evil rites of the country, the temples of the central capital,

and the ban on the exclusion of Taoist books. The ruler and the ambassador

sees him, distinguishes his rank, treats him with courtesy, awards his speech,

gift, and banquet with the premises, abstains from the pre-determined tools of

the company, and the translator who specializes in translation There are

twenty people, each fluent in a different foreign language.

In general, Honghe Temple is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Foreign

Affairs with the additional function of a translation bureau. Cui Shanfu is

the Hongyousiqing at this time.

An institution corresponding to Honghe Temple is called the Dianke Office, but

the functions of the two are substantially different. The Honghe Temple hosts

foreign guests, while the Dianke Office mainly deals with ethnic affairs.

"Chen Zunzhi~!"

Cui Shanfu remained silent on the face, but secretly groaned in his heart,

because this time there were envoys from 32 countries. The number is so rare

that it is rare to see so many envoys from different countries. It was

strenuous to communicate, let alone other things, and Cui Shangfu's pressure

suddenly became full.

Envoys from various countries left the dock with Cui Shanfu and went to

Chang'an. After Li Er looked at the boundless ships on the river, he turned

around and said:

"Xiao Aiqing and Yan Aiqing, you two are here to coordinate the freight. The

grain and goods on the official ships of the imperial court are directly

transported to the Ministry of Households. The goods on the private merchant

ships, you order people to calculate the income of each family. After they pay

the commercial tax, Let them start unloading! Take care to prevent some people

from secretly stealing!"

When the fleet went south, the court said that all merchant ships that

accompanied the army south must pay half of the merchant tax based on the

business income, which can be understood as a protection fee, but it is as

luxurious as the 20,000 elite navy troops dispatched by the court. In

comparison, this protection fee is really cheap.

"The old minister takes the order~!"

Xiao Yu, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yan Lide, Shang Shu of

the Ministry of Industry, heard that when Li Er called his name, they

hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

Li Er nodded, seeing that everything was done here, and then he said to the

officials: "Back to the court~!"

The eunuch, who had his own decree, spread Li Er’s order loudly. The hundreds

of civil and military officials who came with him suddenly promised. Li Er

took Li Xiaogong and the court officials back to the palace. Suddenly, he

turned his head and looked at the side secretly. Li Zexuan, who is playing soy

sauce, "You also go back to the palace with me~!"

Li Zexuan looked inexplicable, wondering why the "Goddess of Luck" suddenly

came to his head, making him unable to resist.

"Yes, Your Majesty~!"

Since he can't resist, then enjoy it. It just so happens that he also wants to

hear what the whole country has gained this time.

………………………

"Hejian County King, you come to talk to Aiqing about the harvest of this

trip?"

After Li Er brought the ministers back to the Taiji Hall, he sat right above,

looked at Li Xiaogong and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty~!"

Li Xiaogong had already prepared, he responded, and then took out a booklet

and began to read slowly:

"In this trip to sea, the imperial court raised a total of 500 official ships.

The ministers used more than 3,000 silks and porcelains to exchange a total of

880,000 stone grains, including Gansong, Suhe, Anxi, Turmeric, and Naduo. ,

Heluo, clove, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, black agarwood, white brain incense,

Angelica dahurica, Doraemon, Gansong, Sanqi and other spices totaling 170,000

catties, 70 pairs of ivory, thousands of tiger skins, Nanyang There are

countless special products from various countries~! There are also 50,000

catties of brass and 300,000 taels of silver~!"

Jing, as Li Xiaogong said one by one, Chaotang suddenly fell into a strange

silence!

Eight hundred and eighty thousand shi of grain, although this amount is a bit

large and a bit beyond everyone’s estimate, it can be attributed to the small

South Sea country rich in grain. I have never seen the gorgeous silk and

porcelain of the Central Plains, but the 20,000 jin of spices is What the

hell~? Do you think this thing as spice is weed or radish cabbage? Oh, UU

Reading www.uukahnshu.com At this time, radish is not called radish, it is

called Fei (see "The Book of Songs·Bei Feng·Gu Feng" has "Cai Feng Cai Fei, no

body"), and cabbage is also not called cabbage. Cabbage.

But the spice is a thing that Datang has always treasured very much. It is

usually sold in two terms. Depending on the type, the price ranges from tens

of texts to several consistent one or two. Ever heard that anyone can have it.

Where's the spice~? The 170,000 catties of spice that Li Xiaogong said is too

scary!

But this is not Li Xiaogong lying, because some spices are really flooded in

some island countries in the South China Sea, just like weeds. They grow

everywhere. The 20,000 navy soldiers he brought with him have been used for

many times. "The farmer.

As for 50,000 catties of brass and 300,000 taels of silver, this is even more

scary~! At present, all the silver mined in the entire Datang is probably only

two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, but Li Xiaogong unexpectedly

brought back 300,000 taels, and even more surprisingly, he also brought back

50,000 catties of yellow silver. Tong, many courtiers began to look at Li

Xiaogong with weird eyes. They wanted to ask: "Brother, did you ransack a

country~?"

It was nothing more than the courtiers were not surprised. It was really that

the gap between the effort and the gain was too great. According to Li

Xiaogong, he only used more than 3,000 pieces of silk and porcelain to change

things, but what about the things he brought back? Just 880,000 stone of

grain, according to the current price of grain, can be worth more than 30,000,

including 170,000 catties of spices, 300,000 taels of silver, and 50,000

catties of brass...Oh, my mother! Many ministers combined together in their

hearts, and it turned out that they even had difficulty breathing!

Profiteering! This is more than ten times the huge profit! It is hundreds of

times the huge profits of Te Niang! What can make more money than this in this

world~?
