Chapter 539 The Tribute From Fusang

Chapter 539 The Tribute From Fusang

"Your Majesty, there are a total of [-] people from Fusang's envoy this time."

"Two hundred numbers?" The more Li Er heard about the matter of Fusang, the more he looked down on the small country of Fusang.

Just two hundred people, what kind of climate can they achieve?
Sure enough, a small country is a small country. For the first time to come to the court, only two hundred people can be sent, which is really a small country's capacity.

Maybe it's also because their country is small and there are few people, so they can't pick out many candidates who can represent the country as an envoy.

"I believe that although there are few people in Fusang, they are still carefully selected. The level of this envoy is still passable."

Li Er raised his eyebrows, Zheng Ming's "return" was regarded as favored by him, it seemed that now Zheng Ming spoke by looking at his face.

The chief envoy of Honglu Temple has a bit of vision and is suitable for this position.

"If Ai Qing thinks it's okay, then it should be okay."

Li Er smiled lightly, and Zheng Ming was relieved when he saw this.

Judging by Li Er's appearance, what he said was not wrong.Since this is not wrong, you can continue to speak.

Therefore, Zheng Ming rolled his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty, although this Fusang is not a big country, and its national strength is not very good, it is just some guys who have not yet seen their wisdom, and now they still need to learn from our Tang Dynasty. All kinds of stuff."

"However, they can be considered to have prepared some interesting things. The minister believes that although this country cannot be on the table, after all, one side supports the other side. There's still something to see."

Zheng Ming was talking nonsense, and Li Er couldn't help but opened the tribute booklet.

However, there is no tribute related to Fusang in the booklet. Perhaps the registration has not been completed, or it may be that the scribe of the registration has not yet arrived at the place of the mission of Fusang, and did not copy those tributes.

"Then Aiqing might as well tell me, what are the interesting things Aiqing said?"

Zheng Ming turned to Li Er with a mysterious look: "To tell you the truth, the tribute brought by Fusang's envoy team this time is not too much."

"Not too many?" Li Er frowned, "This is the first time for Fusang's envoy team to come to Datang, and they dare not bring more tribute, but bring less!"

Isn't this just looking down on them, Datang!How can such a small country dare not to take Datang seriously!
And if it's other countries, that's all. Fusang is just a small place, and they can ignore Datang. How infuriating is this.

"So what do these envoys from Fusang mean? Do they want to come in front of me to provoke me?"

Li Erzheng was furious, but Zheng Ming continued to say: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although the tribute is not much in quantity, the quality is extremely high."

At this time, Li Er's anger subsided a little, and he asked instead: "Aiqing, tell me, this tribute is not much, but you say it is of high quality, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, Fusang Xiaoguo only brought two tributes this time. The first one is a woman with a petite figure and fat skin. Open your eyes."

Li Er frowned, Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, where are all kinds of beauties?Is it possible that being a woman from the small country of Fusang can be called an interesting tribute?
"Aiqing, the people of our Tang Dynasty are beautiful, and it's not uncommon to see someone with the most beautiful appearance in the world. What you are saying is like bragging that the women of the small country of Fusang are more beautiful than the women of our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Er's tone was lowered, and Zheng Ming was startled when he heard the words, and realized that what he said seemed to be a little bit wrong, and added: "My lord misunderstood what I meant, please allow me to add more!"

Li Er raised his head, motioning for him to continue.

Only then did Zheng Ming breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "This woman's strangeness is not because of her delicate appearance and picturesque eyebrows, but her strangeness is because of her petite figure."

"Oh? What's so strange about being petite?" Li Er raised his eyes.

"The woman who came to pay tribute from Fusang is only about half the height of the minister, and even lower, just like a child. But in fact, the woman has already passed her age."

"Women who have passed the age of Jiji are only the size of a child?" Li Er was a little curious.

"Yes, my lord, when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was a beautiful child from the envoys, but I didn't expect it to be a woman who was already old. It is said that this woman once came to the Tang Dynasty to learn He is proficient in many things, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

So, the country of Fusang actually sent such a strange woman to Datang as a tribute?
What is the purpose of this small place?
"That's why I think that although Fusang is not a big country and doesn't have much cultural heritage, it is not worth looking at. But in terms of this attitude, it can be regarded as a considerable respect for Datang."

Li Er didn't listen to the flattery, but asked again: "Then what is the other tribute that Ai Qing mentioned?"

Zheng Ming thought for a while, and then replied: "The second tribute is the unique tea of ​​Fusang."

"Tea?" Li Er couldn't figure out what kind of exquisite tribute this tea was worth mentioning?
"Yes, the yield of this tea is not high, and only a small piece of land in Fusang can grow it. Even the lord and high-ranking official of Fusang cannot drink the tea brewed from this tea often."

"And this time Fusang's mission to the Tang Dynasty also took out the tea leaves that have been saved in the past few years."

"It's just a piece of tea." Li Er was somewhat disdainful.

"It is said that this tea not only has a strong tea fragrance and endless aftertaste, but also can be eye-catching and refreshing, making people feel refreshed, and the sleepiness can be swept away in an instant."

"How can such a small place like Fusang really grow such interesting tea?" Li Er didn't believe it.

Moreover, even if Fusang can grow this kind of tea, it must be because the people in the small country of Fusang have never seen anything in the world, so they are just boasting about this tea.

"I don't quite understand this matter. Your Majesty can make up his own mind after the tribute is delivered."

Li Er didn't take this matter to heart, it was just a small island country, so no matter how good the tea from such a small place with no background was, it would definitely not be as good as the purple leaf tribute tea from his Shu land.

If those Fusang envoys are lucky enough to see his purple leaf tribute tea, it is absolutely impossible to say anything good about their Fusang tea.
