Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 115
Every morning, in the bustling city of Chang'an, foreigners in strange costumes can always be seen wandering around.

Whether it's Dongliufang or Xiliufang, as long as you want to go out to buy something, or go to a restaurant for a drink, you will always meet a few foreigners around you.

It's not that these foreigners especially wanted to go shopping and were looked down upon by the people of Chang'an City.

In the past, every time they came to pay tribute, they heard the words from some knowledgeable people:
"It's these shameless things again, trading their useless things for our Datang's treasure." At that time.

I can't wait to find a seam in the ground to get in.

In their own country, they were all well-known big men, but they came to the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how much white eyes they suffer and no matter how harsh words they hear, they can only endure it.

But they can't help it.

Every time the bell rang for the opening of the East and West Market, they would be kicked out by the officials of Honglu Temple for cleaning.

They are also not allowed to gather in large numbers outside.

No need to ask, this must be another crooked idea that Li Cha came up with.

They don't even want to visit Chang'an City.

The envoys from all over the world had no choice but to walk on the streets of Chang'an City under the eyes of the Tang people.

Talk to people from their country who are doing business in Chang'an City.

But what they didn't expect was that the businessmen of their country in Chang'an City couldn't wait to see them.

Not long after entering Dongshi, before entering a shop, the envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom were approached by a fellow villager.

As the saying goes, when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears.

In the city of Chang'an, the envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom finally found a little bit of respect from the merchants of their own country.

This incident was not an exception, not only the envoys of the South Vietnam, but also the envoys of many countries were approached by businessmen from their countries as soon as they appeared on the streets of Chang'an City.

Merchants from various countries who set up stalls in Chang'an City were more happy to see their envoys than to see their own father.

Nodding and bowing, admiring the name for a long time, all kinds of worship.

After a while of flattery, he began to express the unfortunate treatment he received in Datang.

Needless to say, the excited foreign fellow meeting immediately turned into a fellow complaining meeting.

The envoys of various countries are also human beings, and when they finally found someone willing to listen to their grievances, they blurted out their grievances immediately.

"Hey, you said that this time the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only returned two carts of useless books from our country. How can we go back and have business with the king?"

The South Vietnamese envoy complained to the businessmen in his own country.

"Well, I also heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave our country two sets of Confucianism collections to help us educate the people. Although it was a good intention, the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not know what we really wanted. This It will be difficult the next time.”

The South Vietnamese businessman echoed.

"There's nothing we can do about it, and we don't dare to ask the Emperor Tang for it."

"Now we can only use the money that a few of us collected to buy some things that our country doesn't have."

"You have been in Datang for so many years, do you know anything that is more precious and rare? Let us introduce it as follows."

The envoy of Nanyue Kingdom asked the businessman.It's better to ask your own people who are more familiar with Datang about this kind of thing.

In fact, there is one thing that our Majesty the Tang Emperor made a mistake.Envoys from countries like Li Shimin would pay out of their own pockets to buy something and go back on business.

But what he didn't know was that what the envoys of these countries brought to the Tang Dynasty were not only those rare treasures that were tributed to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

There is also a lot of money and treasures used to manage the officials and families of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can say a few words to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also because of Li Shimin's erratic rage that the money and treasures remained in their hands before they could be given away.This doesn't happen to come in handy.

But this kind of thing must never be told to outsiders.Even businessmen from their own country can't do it, so there is a saying that they raise money by themselves.

Hearing what the envoy of his own country said, the businessman of Nanyue Kingdom made a particularly embarrassed look.

"My lord, the treasures of the Great Tang Dynasty are really too expensive. I still know you very well in Nanyue Kingdom. How can you, good officials with a clean sleeve, scrape together the money to buy the treasures of the Great Tang Dynasty?"

"I would like to help you adults, but I have worked hard in Datang for ten years. Although I have saved hundreds of family property, I can't buy much."

The Nanyue businessman said with a bitter face.

"How about it, my lord, I have two treasures here. I bought them with all my belongings and three hundred Tang coins. I planned to bring them back to Nanyue in a few days and sell them to make a fortune."

"I especially admire the adults. Now that the adults are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch. The adults should take these two treasures back and deal with them. I think His Majesty the King will be happy."

The South Vietnamese businessman finally gritted his teeth and said.

Then he carefully took out a very delicate box from the booth behind him, and handed it to the leading envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom.

The envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom opened it and saw that the two ends of the elephant were completely crystal clear, and the whole body was made of high-quality colored glaze, which was displayed in front of them.Perfect and flawless, it is a rare and peerless treasure in the world.

The envoy of the Nanyue Kingdom struggled to move his eyes away from this peerless treasure and closed the delicate box.

The merchants of Nanyue Kingdom have been watching the reaction of the envoys.After seeing the reaction he wanted to see, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by the two elephant models made of glass, and no one noticed his weird face.

Seeing the envoy closed the box, the Nanyue businessman said bitterly:
"My lords, I am a small businessman, and there is only so much I can do to help you. Since the things are given to you, I will leave first."

After saying this, he didn't step out, but smiled wryly and muttered to himself:

"The valuable things have been sent out, and I won't be returning to Nanyue Kingdom for a while. Let's continue to do some business in Datang. I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown."

"I really miss the things in my hometown. It would be great if I have a few ivory from my hometown to accompany me in the days of Tang Dynasty."

After speaking, he took a slow step and wanted to leave.

"Brother, wait. If you leave like this, how are we going to behave?"

The South Vietnamese businessman finally got what he wanted to hear.

"Brother, we really need these two rare treasures. We really can't get the three hundred guan coins, but we still have the high-quality ivory."

"It just so happened that Honglu Temple was going to clean our room, so we took all these things with us. I'll give you four good ivory first."

"There are still these copper coins, you can take them too. We don't know enough. But it's enough for you to do some small business."

"And this, this is my token, you take it, no matter when you go back to Nanyue, you must come to the mansion to find me, I will definitely not treat you badly."

The leading envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom asked the people behind to take out four high-quality ivory, and then handed the copper coins on their body and the token representing their identity to the benefactor who solved the problem in their hearts.

"My lord, I agreed to give it to you, and I can't take it. How about this, I just keep the ivory for a thought. I don't need anything else."

After receiving the ivory, the businessman from Nanyue Kingdom hastily declined.

"How can it be done? This is a treasure bought with all your belongings. How can we accept it? Take it quickly."

The envoy of Nanyue Kingdom persuaded again.

"Well, I'll take this money too. This token is a symbol of an adult, and I will never accept it anyway."

The Nanyue merchant took the coins from the envoy again and said.

"My lord, you don't need to say any more. I'll take my leave first. We have a destiny to see you in Nanyue."

After speaking, he got into the crowd and disappeared in a flash.

As for the booth on the ground with few valuables, he didn't care.

The leading envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom sighed, put away his badge and said emotionally to the people behind him:

"The people in our country are simple and kind. This time I went out and met a noble person. Let's go too, don't delay the benefactor's business. He will not come back when we are here."

What they don't know is that no matter whether they leave or not, the benefactor in their hearts will never appear in front of them again.

Moreover, the image of myself as a fellow villager and benefactor only lasted in their hearts for a day before being scolded by them.

Only then did they know what it was: fellow countrymen meet fellow villagers, and you didn't discuss it if you cheated to death.
