The envoys from various countries continued to offer gifts, but nothing aroused Mu Ci's interest.It was Santai's turn to be one of the surnames in power, known as the envoy of the Taili Dynasty, and Li Xueyi paid a visit.The elephants of the Tai Li Dynasty were not easy to bring to the hall, they brought other gifts.

Li Xueyi, the ambassador of the Thai Li Dynasty, said in a loud voice: "We did not bring exotic flowers and plants today, but only some seeds, and presented them to the great emperor and the miraculous King of Chu." Open the cloth tray...

"Although these seeds don't look good, they are rice seeds...Your Majesty! Your Highness! It represents the greatest sincerity of our surname Tai Li!" Li Xueyi presented it with both hands.

A sharp light flashed in Mu Ci's eyes, she stood up quickly, walked down the steps and walked to Ambassador Li step by step...

Because he has always been the focus of everyone's attention, and he is also a celestial figure, and his elegant steps have attracted everyone's attention.Everyone understands that Ambassador Tai Lichao has been favored by the King of Chu.

Mu Ci approached Li Xueyi, stretched out a hand as white as jade, and gently held up a handful of golden rice seeds. The golden rice seeds poured down from his fingertips, exuding the unique fragrance of green grass.

Mu Ci Qingrun asked gently: "These are the three-season rice of the Taili Dynasty?"

Li Xueyi's eyes widened in surprise, and he praised sincerely: "Your Highness, you really know everything. This is the three-season rice that I am facing." He raised his voice and explained to everyone loudly, "This rice ear is long without awn, and it is drought-resistant. It was born in any place, and it only took more than 500 days from planting to harvesting, and the yield per mu was [-] jin. I live in the south of the country, with plenty of water and sun, and three crops a year, so it is called "Tai San Rice."

All the people present, who knew a little about people's livelihood and economics, gasped... Especially Lu Dingguo, holding the wat board, stretched his neck long, looked at the rice seeds as if he saw a stunning beauty, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

Mu Ci smiled for the first time today, that smile was as pure and clear as an angel who parted the clouds and descended to the mortal world, holy and charming, easily sucking away all the souls of the people present.

"Ambassador Li, you are fine, Tai Sandao is fine, and Qin Lichao is fine..." Mu Ci took the whole tray from the stunned Li Xueyi, stepped on the steps step by step with a smile, and walked up to Mu Zan. Said, "Third brother, this is exactly what we want, besides oil palm, this is another kind of... In the future, hopefully there will be more."

Emperor Deguang took the tray, stared at the orange rice seeds excitedly, nodded to Mu Ci, and then said to Ambassador Tai Lichao: "Very good, you have brought a lot of sincerity, so that I and the ninth brother are like this." Glad, Ambassador Li, Tai Lichao has gained our great friendship."

Looking at the scenery of Thailand and Li Dynasty, several other ambassadors felt sorry for each other. Why didn't they think of this?Well, no, hurry up and write a book and go back to China, collect characteristic plants and seeds, especially good crops, and present them to Emperor Daxing.Oh no, it was given to the King of Chu. As long as he pleases the King of Chu, the emperor is really easy to please.

Mu Ci then said to Li Xueyi: "Thai and Li Dynasty will get Daxing's second business cooperation quota after Nanzhi Kingdom. Our country will buy more grain from Tai and Li Dynasty at a reasonable price, and at the same time send excellent farmers to Come to your court to cooperate in improving rice seeds and researching better varieties. Please discuss the details with Ambassador Li after the banquet with Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs of our country." He also said to Lu Dingguo, "Please entertain our friends with spring-like enthusiasm. "

Lu Dingguo nodded, more enthusiastic than newlyweds.

Wang Youlun's eyes were also shining, and he stared at Ambassador Li as if he were looking at a piece of high-quality fresh meat-the national grain reserve in Changping warehouse has been secured.Although the journey is long, there is a sea trade, besides, Tai Lichao is not far from Nantoe, and there is a road for palm oil transportation, and it is not troublesome to transport it from sea to various places.

All the ambassadors coveted the good luck of Taili Dynasty, and some envoys who hesitated to take out good crop seeds were also moved.What makes all ambassadors even crazier is yet to come.

Mu Ci actually asked openly: "Ambassador Li, is there any interest in making snow salt in Chu? Our two countries can cooperate."

This must have! !

Li Xueyi's head was about to drop, and he said happily: "That's great, King Chu, you are really...so kind and generous."

"How to cooperate specifically, we will discuss in detail later." Mu Ci raised his hand towards Mou Yu, and Mou Yu immediately took out a booklet from his arms, and Mu Ci handed it to Li Xueyi, saying, "I see you and I feel like you, come on! This is a list of some "small commodities" produced by some small industries under my personal name, if you are interested, you can talk about it, and I will give you a friendly price."

Emperor Deguang, King Ding, King Qinghe, King Hanshan: "..." They can get a real-time updated "small commodity list" every few months and half a year, which includes Chudi products and Julu products of ... certain products.

Li Xueyi couldn't help turning a page, then...swipe through the next few pages, and then...the whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind, not because he was afraid, but because he was too excited...

This……

This is really...

Although the other envoys did not see the content of the pamphlet, they were very grateful to see the expressions of the emperor and the kings, and Ambassador Li.After thinking about it, I know that it must be a good thing that others can't buy.

Chu King's special products, in addition to snow salt, the most famous is the "medicine box" that is said to be able to bring the dead back to life, and the most elite weapon produced by Julu.

The king of Chu is so generous, he actually sells weapons?

The envoys of Santai's other two surnames were as pale as paper.It is definitely not a good thing for the other two surnames that Tai Lichao got the support of great fortune.

The envoys of the two surnames almost wanted to stare at the king of Chu several times, but Mu Ci didn't care about this kind of stare.

Envoys from other countries offered tribute, and Mu Ci took a fancy to the two white mastiffs sent by Gaofan, and Emperor Deguang gave them to him with a big wave of his hand.Others are not too brilliant, so I won't mention them one by one.

Until noon, Emperor Deguang announced: For banquets in the palace, everyone will drive to Yongle Hall, the side hall of Qingyuan Hall. This is the place where the emperor holds banquets, watches music and dances, and entertains foreign envoys.

……

Emperor Deguang is the main seat in the center, and Empress Mei is also dressed neatly and sits on the right hand of Emperor Deguang.Mu Ci was originally sitting at the table on the left side of the emperor, but was summoned by Emperor Deguang to sit at the table beside him.The other princes also had positions in the central chairman area in turn, and sat down without mentioning it.

Also coming were the two princes Mu Qi and Mu Yu of Emperor Deguang, as well as several royal princesses and concubines.On such a formal occasion, the Empress Dowager and other concubines did not appear, they were all concubines, and their identities were inappropriate.

The lucky courtiers on the left and the envoys on the right have two rows of seats.The seats of the envoys were no longer drawn by lottery, but designated by Emperor Deguang. The seat of the Tai Li Dynasty was the first, and the Nanzhi Kingdom was the second. After all, the people would not die if they did not eat oil, and they would not die if they did not eat.The other envoys will follow in order according to the emperor's preference.

All meals are divided into meals, and most of the envoys are favored by stir-fry dishes. Everyone has only heard of this new cooking method of Daxing in legends, but few have tasted it.It's really lucky that there are few restaurants who know how to cook. After the Beirong envoy "bullied" the king of Chu, all the restaurants didn't welcome envoys, and didn't let envoys in to eat, even if they had money, they couldn't eat.

The banquet begins, singing and dancing.

Lu Dingguo and Wang Youlun led a group of officials and ran to the place between Taili Dynasty and Nanzhi Kingdom. They sat with the two ambassadors and chatted happily while watching songs and dances.

We have preliminarily finalized the plan of large-scale import of grains with Ambassador Li, and discussed the cooperation plan for introducing the three rice varieties from Thailand, and when will we send agricultural technicians to Thailand and Li Dynasty.He also promised to take a more open and supportive attitude towards border trade between the two countries, give the most relaxed border trade policy, and the cheapest tariffs...

The envoys of the Nanzhi Kingdom also got a preliminary plan for the cooperation model. Not only can they collect land rent, but they can also collect taxes when selling palm oil.He wished that the industrious and lucky people would go to Nanzhi Country to rent land to plant. Anyway, it was only renting land, and the land could not be taken away in pockets.

The envoy of Nanli who was sitting next door to the third place because the king married Princess Daxing looked at it, alas, the benefits were all taken by Taili Dynasty and Nanzhi Kingdom first, and there was nothing to lose After drinking it, I quickly figured out how to make it back.

Emperor Deguang didn't care about singing and dancing, so he grabbed Mu Ci and asked, "The rice seeds they gave are not expensive things, so why tell them how to make salt?" The reason why everyone praised them was just for attitude.

Indeed, for things like three-season rice planting, Mu Ci has a beautiful face. That guy bought a lot from Santai to give to Mu Ci. It's not worth much, so Mu Ci has another purpose, saying: "The method of drying salt is nothing Superb skills are easy to learn, and they won’t be worth much when everyone knows them later, so it’s better to take them out now and have some use value.”

Emperor Deguang was still not happy, and said: "Then why did you give him the pamphlet again, is it the same as what I saw?"

"How can it be? Yours is the latest product of the highest grade. What you give him is a batch eliminated by our imperial army. Repairing and repairing it is also a good thing for Tai Lichao, and it can be sold for a good price." Mu Mu Mercy.

Only then did Emperor Deguang ease his expression, he was happy in his heart, but his face was still serious, and he said: "This is not suitable, what if they take weapons and have a different intention?"

All the nearby kings listened with pricked ears.

Mu Ci saw that he was surrounded by his own people, and was very patient, dipped some water and wine with his chopsticks, drew the outline of Santai on the table, divided it into three, and said: "Look clearly, this is the position of Tai and Li Chao. "

It's wonderful, the other two surnames are at the seaside, and Tai and Li Chao are wrapped in dumplings by the two surnames and surrounded inland.With the method of drying salt, it is useless to have no coastline, so, for the sake of salt, we must first grab the coastline... It is inevitable to conflict with the other two, and then Mu Ci took the opportunity to sell arms.

Emperor Deguang immediately thought of it. King Ding and King Hanshan, who had military accomplishments and had seen the map of Santai, instantly understood, and thought: King Chu is indeed brilliant.King Qinghe had been to Santai on the spot, so he understands Mu Ci's intentions... not to mention sinister, at least... it doesn't do any harm to Da Xing.

Emperor Deguang was happy, and it was difficult for the public to touch his face and nod his nose, so he put his hand around Mu Ci's shoulder and said, "I mean, you are really a trickster."

Light and fluffy, like the tone of blaming a naughty child, but I don't know that this means earth-shaking changes for Santai.

Mu Ci finally revealed the truth, and said: "I checked, the Li surname of Santai was originally a member of the royal family surnamed Li in the Zhou Dynasty. He fled south a hundred years ago and entered the then Nantai, and took root in a foreign country. They are Chinese people of the same origin and the same race, so if you can help me, it's okay."

Because it is a foreigner, the Li surname has always been relatively weak in Santai, and it has been very tenacious to maintain a delicate balance with the other two surnames.Now, since Tai Lichao donated the rice seeds of the three seasons of rice and showed considerable sincerity, Mu Ci also reciprocated, helping a little "small favor" quietly, and talking about it is enough to set off a monstrous sky in Santai. Huge waves change the pattern of a country.

It has a sense of sight of "feather fan scarf, mast and scull disappear in ashes".

King Hanshan, who rushed back to preside over the embarrassment due to the deployment of the Imperial Army, had a new level of admiration for the King of Chu in his heart.This young man can stand up to one hundred thousand soldiers.
