System, help me be an empress

Chapter 128 The Envoys Visited the Divine Works Bureau
The cold wind in the first month is already strong, let alone in this kind of wilderness.In addition to wrapping five or six more pieces of clothing in the official uniform, Rong Yingran also put on the only thick cloak at home.

Think about which Tanhua Lang in the imperial court, he didn't pay special attention to his clothes and grooming, and was deeply afraid of humiliating his status as a "Tanhua".However, Rong Yingran did not have this awareness at all. With his current attire, even if he stood with his housekeeper, it would be difficult to tell who is the one who guards the gate.

Seeing the envoys driving in turns against the howling winter wind in the wasteland, they even kept cheering.

Rong Yingran hugged the stove even more tightly, trying to maintain a smile on her face.

Maybe he's the only one who feels cold.

The envoys were so excited to exchange and drive, turning over this small piece of wasteland over and over again, and they didn't feel bored at all.

Ugh.

He really shouldn't feel that His Majesty has a dark heart.

This is clearly a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer, both sides agree.

After driving the steam truck for several hours in a row, the envoys seemed to feel that the game was not enjoyable enough, so Rong Yingran could only bring them over to plow the ground on the second day, and on the third and fourth days, they changed it to one that could sow seeds. steam car.

After the envoys had plowed the entire wasteland, Rong Yingran immediately dragged the envoys who were still reluctant to leave, and went to visit other places including the Shengong Bureau.

……

"Is this the Divine Work Bureau?"

When the envoys came to visit, the head of the Shengong Bureau, Wen Deyi, was wrapped in brown clothes, and ordered the workers next to him to pour water on him with buckets.

After a while.

Smell proudly shook the accumulated water on the clothes, and gently took off the outermost brown clothes that were stained with water.It wasn't until now that everyone realized that even after being poured with so much water just now, the commoner clothes inside Wen Deyi were not wet at all.

"Wen Shangshu, what you are wearing is also an invention of Shengong Bureau? Waterproof clothing?" Rong Yingran walked over with a face full of surprise. This thin piece of clothing looks much lighter than a coir raincoat!

Wen Shangshu took off his gloves and rain boots one by one, and slowly said: "This is a new material called rubber. I heard that places where rubber is planted often use this material to make raincoats, so I was curious and tried it."

"It's really waterproof." Wen Deyi murmured to himself in a low voice, "It's just that the amount of this kind of material is not too much, which leads to high cost, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it. In this way, this thing is still not as good as the coir raincoat. .”

Wen Deyi was still immersed in her own world, until when she raised her head, she realized that there were suddenly a bunch of completely unfamiliar faces in front of her.It was only then that I remembered that these people seemed to be the envoys from neighboring countries whom the empress had sent to greet him before.

"Emissaries, this is Mr. Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Industry, and concurrently the Director of the Bureau of Divine Works." Rong Yingran introduced several envoys, "Including the steam car that was driven just now, Mr. Wen They made it."

"Master Wen is amazing!"

"I've heard the name of Shenjiying for a long time!"

……

When the envoy first arrived, he still felt that Wen Deyi's clothes were not decent enough, but now he knew that the steam engine was invented by him, and when he looked at him again, he felt that this person was full of superior demeanor!

"There is a corridor next to the finished products. There will be craftsmen from the Shengong Bureau responsible for explaining to the envoys. You can take them there first." Wen Deyi said to Rong Yingran, "I have to change clothes, and then to find you."

"Okay, Mr. Wen has worked hard."

Rong Yingran then took several envoys to visit the finished products of Shengong Bureau, from lime to matches, and from soap to perfume.

After Wen Deyi changed his clothes and came out, he also brought a piece of 'soap' and 'small bottle of perfume' as gifts to each messenger.

After visiting the Shengong Bureau, Rong Yingran led the envoys to the Shenji Camp for lunch.In the afternoon, under the guidance of Teng Xuesheng, a group of people admired several firearms commonly used by Shenji Camp.

Everyone was shocked again by the excellent accuracy and power of the matchlock gun!

The envoys sent by Wala this time also participated in the battle of Shangjing last year.At this time, he was also looking at the matchlock gun in disbelief. He clearly remembered that Dagan hadn't produced such a thing at that time!
Or did Dagan already have arquebus guns at that time, but their emperor regarded this thing as the decisive hole card?Seeing the skillful appearance of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion shooting the birds easily with their guns, the Oala envoy even had the illusion that the bullets were all hitting himself.

"Master Rong." The Oirat envoy couldn't bear it anymore, and took a step forward to stop Rong Yingran, "The Emperor Dagan once promised himself that he was willing to sell your country's firearms to Oirat, so as to keep the mountains and rivers safe for a hundred years? Now? Still counting?"

"Naturally." Rong Yingran said without hesitation, "Since His Majesty promised that the price of firearms sold to Wala will always be [-]% lower than that of other countries, then we will do as His Majesty says."

Upon hearing this, the Oala envoy finally felt a little relieved.The rest of the envoys suddenly became enlightened when they heard Sir Rong say this, as if they had been opened the door to some new world.

Is there any hope for them to buy these firearms made by Daqian?As long as you can get something, the price is a little more expensive, so what!

"Master Rong, can we Jin Chengguo also buy some firearms from Dagan?"

The Jin Chengguo envoy asked cautiously.

Rong Yingran seemed a bit embarrassed: "This is the Wala that His Majesty himself promised at the beginning. If you also want to bring firearms back to the country, I have to send someone to ask His Majesty."

After hearing this, Jin Chengguo's envoy was a little afraid that the emperor would suspect that his country had different intentions, so he quickly declined: "Forget it, and don't bother the emperor with such a trivial matter."

Seeing that Jin Chengguo's envoy retreated so quickly, the rest of the envoys began to hate iron for being weak.

Another envoy from a small country couldn't help but said, "Lord Rong, our Yuliao country is small and weak, and our borders are often violated. Every year, we have to send a lot of money and goods to the neighboring country to barely keep it safe. But in recent years , the neighboring country is also becoming more and more rampant, and even plans to go to war. Can you help us ask His Majesty, can you distribute a small amount of firearms to us to deter them. My Yuliao Kingdom has been a subordinate country for generations, and I am absolutely loyal ah!"

Rong Yingran seemed to feel the same way: "Then let me ask His Majesty for you."

Rong Yingran recruited a subordinate, and after whispering something in the other's ear, he called everyone to continue to visit the firearms of Shenji Camp.

After a while, the subordinate came back, and Rong Yingran briefly exchanged a few words with the other party, while nodding non-stop.

"Embassadors, just now there is news from the palace that His Majesty is willing to sell some of the firearms to Dagan's vassal states. However, considering the difficulty of making firearms and taking a long time, Dagan must first ensure the firearms soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. There are indeed not many firearms left to sell to you, all types combined, it is estimated that there are only a few hundred pieces, I wonder which envoys need it urgently?"
