The people of Western Turks have been isolated. Meeting at the door is a shameful thing after all. If your king and other princes are not in the relationship between the suzerain country and the vassal country, using this common courtesy will already look down on you very much. But that’s it for today.

Therefore, the Western Turk Khan ordered all the people to stay away from the city gate. He did not want this embarrassing scene to be spread. However, there were so many people here that it was impossible to completely seal it off. Instead, because of some rumors, It will make this matter become more and more outrageous.

"This is our Turkic palace."

The Western Turkic Khan said with a little pride, after all, they re-established this palace, and this palace can be ranked among the entire Western Regions. But Li You looked at it from the side, and this guy curled his lips, Not to mention compared with Li Shimin's palace, even compared with his own Prince Qi's Mansion, this place is a bit shabby.

According to his knowledge, among the yamen at all levels in the Tang Dynasty, let alone the rich places, even the poor places may be slightly better than this one. This is simply a bigger wealthy household. Even Gaochangguo can't compare.

Although the area of ​​Gaochang is not as large as that of the Western Turks, because they control the Hexi Corridor, there are still more businesses between them, and they collect more taxes every year. The palaces in Gaochang are also better built, while the Western Turks can only be regarded as Choose the bigger one among the short ones.

"Not bad."

Li You said a few perfunctory words, which made the Western Turkic nobles very hurt. We spent more than ten years to build this palace. I didn't expect that it would look like this in your eyes.

In fact, many businessmen from the Western Turks have been to Chang'an, and some people have gone to Chang'an to study, but they did not dare to talk nonsense after they came back. In order to make the people above happy, they can only describe Chang'an as slightly better than here, or even They are not as good as us in some aspects.

The nobles of the Western Turks also grew up in the past ten years. The places they usually travel are the countries in the Western Regions. Those small countries will definitely not be able to catch up with them, so they are still very confident in their princes, but they did not expect that in exchange for Got this.

Some people thought that the people of the Tang Dynasty were bragging, so they wanted to make King Qi Li You look bad later, but when King Qi came down, the minions around him also came from behind to see the luxurious clothes these people were wearing, especially These gold threads on the body.

When the curtain of the carriage was lifted just now, someone saw everything inside. It was indeed much more sophisticated than their Turkic counterparts, and many things looked more noble. Although they also had furs of various beasts here, their production technology was much higher. Tang was much worse.

"Your Highness, please."

The Western Turk Khan stood up straight, and then stretched out his right hand. Li You next to him also raised his hand and cupped it, but when Li You raised his hand, the huge emerald ring on his hand was revealed.

There is a shortage of these things on the grassland. Although they also have very good mutton-fat white jade, due to the lack of craftsmen, the ones made are relatively rough. It is obvious that the things brought by Qi Wang Li You are much better than theirs.

The Western Turk Khan unnaturally put his hands into his sleeves. Just now he wanted to show that his gems were indeed bigger than King Qi's, but then again, his gems were much more exquisite than his own. Ah, if you put the two together, this one will be compared.

After entering the palace, not to mention, I originally thought that it would be very luxurious inside, but compared with Prince Qi's Mansion, it was like heaven and earth.

"This is the tea I got from your country. It is said to be of the highest grade in Baoli. Your Majesty, come and taste it to see if it tastes the same as the one you had in Chang'an."

The Western Turkic Khan said proudly that he had specially asked a merchant to buy it. It was said to be of the highest grade and cost two hundred guan per tael.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you guys are just going to use this thing to make tea. That's really too much. This thing is fine for drinking water, but if it's used to make tea, this tea leaf can be used for making tea." It’s all in vain, Old Han…”

King Qi doesn't usually drink tea. His favorite thing is drinking. But when he comes to the territory of the Western Turks, he has to show off no matter what he does. According to the rules of the princes, when traveling, there is naturally a special person to make tea. of.

At this moment, these people have already taken action. People in the Western Turks all make tea in silver pots and throw the tea leaves directly in. They don’t know how to make tea at all. Even so, the fried tea leaves are Much stronger than those tree leaves.

When the exquisite tea sets were taken out, the Western Turkic nobles were dumbfounded. Porcelain already existed in the Tang Dynasty, but compared with the porcelain of the Song Dynasty, it was indeed inferior. The common people still use pottery, but the nobles still use pottery. Porcelain has been used.

However, the porcelain used by the nobles also had a lot of impurities, but after the treasures were released, exquisite porcelain appeared. When these things were taken out, the people of the Western Turks immediately did not know how to show off.

The main reason is that we don’t have these things. When those businessmen came back, they said that Zhizhidao also had very exquisite porcelain, but the Western Turkic nobles said that we don’t need those things. We just have gold and silverware, and porcelain. No matter how valuable it is, it cannot be compared to gold and silverware.

"Khan, please try it. There are many things to pay attention to when making tea, especially the use of gold and silver utensils. If you use these things, it will ruin the taste of the tea. You must use this kind of special porcelain. This is We in the Tang Dynasty all understand."

When Li You spoke, he sounded like a teacher. In his opinion, you people are just a bunch of barbarians. Of course, you are slightly better than barbarians, but compared with us people in the Tang Dynasty, they are really inferior. Too far.

People in Western Turks have been drinking tea for a while, and of course they know what is good and what is not. When they took a sip of tea brewed in porcelain, their eyes widened instantly.

It’s not impossible to make tea with gold and silver utensils, but the smelting technology of this era is too poor, and there are still a lot of magazines in them. If you drink too much with these utensils, you are likely to get various diseases. It’s just that They don't know this at ordinary times, so they keep drinking it. After drinking the tea made from this porcelain vessel, they probably won't be able to get rid of the gold and silver vessels...
