Datang Live Room

Yan Kai always felt that Qu Yong looked at him strangely just now, but he didn't think much about it.

"His Majesty the King has ascended the throne. I'm afraid he should treat us to a meal!"

Hearing what Yan Kai said, Qu Yong quickly nodded: "Please, I definitely have to ask!"

After he finished speaking, he remembered something and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "That...that...those Slavs seem to have emptied all the rice and noodles from the imperial chef."

Yan Kai suppressed a smile and said, "It's okay. Since it's to celebrate the king, let us make the arrangements."

At this state banquet of Gaochang Kingdom, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, took the host seat.

Then several Slavic tribal leaders were invited.

There were many seats in the palace of Gaochang State.

Qu Yong had no airs at all and poured wine into Li Chengqian's glass himself, and then said with a dogged face: "Please take care of me in the future, Prince."

He thought it was Li Chengqian who was in charge this time, indicating that he would seek refuge with the prince in the future.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Your Majesty will just give more conveniences to the merchants of Tang Dynasty in the future."

This is their main purpose.

"Don't worry!" Speaking of this, Qu Yong patted his chest: "In the future, as long as businessmen carry the Tang Dynasty to pass, we in Gaochang will never collect taxes from them!"

Gaochang is not considered poor in the Western Regions because they strangle the throat of the Silk Road.

In the past, merchants from the Tang Dynasty had to pay a lot of customs duties when passing through here.

Every year just by collecting tariffs, Gaochang will become extremely rich.

Hearing what Qu Yong said, Yan Kai smiled and said, "It's not necessary to exempt everything, just charge less."

This is the economic pillar of Gaochang, and it cannot be exhausted.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qu Yong's head was like a chicken eating rice: "We will collect as much as Yanzhi County says!"

Anyway, he will listen to Yan Kai's words now.

"Hahaha, let's talk about these things later." Yan Kai waved his hand, and the delicacies from Kuoding County were served.

The Gaochang people and the Slavs looked at the things brought to them, their eyes widened.

Only Yan Kaizi said modestly: "The march is not easy. Let's make do with these things. When we come to Kuoding County in the future, we will definitely treat you to better food."

"What... is this?" The Slavic leader took a bite of the meat that was served.

The meat is not only cut evenly in thickness, but also beautifully presented. The most important thing is that it tastes so fragrant.

"This is my first time eating it too!" Yan Kai said, "They use Hun Yang Changhu's method."

Hunyang Shihu is to process the whole sheep, empty its belly, and fill it with a goose that has been processed in the same way. The goose's belly is also hollowed out, and filled with glutinous rice and various spices.

Put it on the fire and roast it. After it is roasted, you mainly eat the goose.

The cooks in Kuoding County put the eggs in the belly of the anchovies, then put the anchovies in the belly of the chicken, then put the chicken in the belly of the goose, then put the goose in the belly of the sheep, and finally the sheep Put it in the camel's belly and set up a grill the size of a house to roast the camel.

Finally, the best parts of chicken, fish, goose, sheep and camel meat are sliced ​​and served with dipping sauces.

After listening to Yan Kai's introduction, the Slavs were stunned.

They usually eat barbecue, but they didn't expect this barbecue to be so delicious?

When it comes to food, China has really never lost in thousands of years.

Even if they use local ingredients, this meal almost makes the Gaochang people and Slavs almost swallow their tongues.

The Slavs were invited by Wang Xuance, so Li Chengqian sent him to follow up. There was no need to return to Kuoding County. He only needed to take money to Yiwu County to buy grain and send it to the Slavs.

Yan Kai and the others have established trade and employment relationships with the Slavs. Under Yan Kai's deliberate guidance, these tribes plan to gather together in the future.

In fact, these tribes were separated in the past just because their productivity was low, and it was difficult for everyone to feed so many people in the same place.

But now with Yan Kai's support, new grain seeds, and the use of grain to trade some special products with them, they can feed all the people in the tribe even if they don't separate.

The Slavs are not stupid either. If they are separated, their combat effectiveness will be low and they will be easily bullied by the Western Turks.

But if they gather together, even the Western Turks will not dare to provoke them easily.

Basically all the wealth they collected in Gaochang City was given to Yan Kai, because Yan Kai exchanged weapons with them.

After using the weapons of the Tang Dynasty, the Slavs completely felt that what they were using was garbage.

At first, the Slavs had no intention of changing, but Yan Kai woke them up with just one sentence.

"Between Dashi and Western Turks, there are many small countries such as Kang, Shi, Mi, Shi, An, etc. Where can Slavic warriors go without these weapons?"

The Slavs thought about it, yes, these things were originally stolen.

With better weapons, can't we continue to the north and west to grab it?

They can't afford to offend Dashi and Western Turks. How can they still afford to offend these small countries similar to Gaochang?

After robbing things, he continued to exchange weapons and food with the Tang people. It was simply a virtuous cycle.

"Yan Kai, you are a good person!" The leader of the Slavic tribe patted Yan Kai on the shoulder: "From now on, as long as the Tang people report your name, they will be friends of our Slavic people."

They are not stupid either. They know that Yan Kai and the others just want to do business in the west. Although they don't understand how to do business quickly, but think about it again, they are enough to rob.

The Tang Dynasty did business with those countries, and exchanged the goods for money in those countries. After the Tang people left them, they would rob those goods, and then use those goods to exchange for food and weapons with Yan Kai and other Tang people.

This is simply a perfect closed loop!

After receiving Yan Kai's advice, the Slavs finally left happily.

Hundreds of people were sent to send Qu Wentai to Chang'an first, while Yan Kai and others settled in Gaochang.

Mainly because I was so tired from the journey here, so I took this opportunity to take a rest.

Tang Xuanzang said goodbye to Yan Kai and continued on his way to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Yan Kai didn't care about him. Anyway, he had never liked the character Tang Monk. Even in Journey to the West, he also liked Monkey King.

Whether Tang Monk can retrieve the scripture later depends on his own ability.

Even if the scriptures were retrieved, given the current soil of the Tang Dynasty, they might not be able to bear fruit.
