After meeting the Saluto brothers and sisters in Xuanshi Palace, Liu Chan held a small banquet in Weiyang Palace to entertain the three brothers and sisters.
All the goods he brought were purchased by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and they were also received by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for a banquet in the palace. Before leaving, Liu Chan gave the three brothers and sister a large number of specialties of the Han Dynasty.
Shu brocade, fifty pieces.
Shu paper, ten boxes.
Tea, five boxes.
Silk, thirty pieces.
As well as Shu salt, maltose, preserved eggs, Shu wine, porcelain and other items, in short, they definitely exceeded the value of the goods they brought to the Han Dynasty.
"Get rich!"
"Get rich!"
In the small courtyard on Xiliu Street, after seeing off the Han sergeant, Salode looked at the goods in the courtyard and became excited.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is really too generous." Samis also said with a smile.
"Brother," Samis turned to Salotto and asked: "When will we return to Sassanid?"
Sallotto glanced at Salode first, then smiled at Samis and said: "We are going back to Sassanid...you..." Sallotto suddenly lowered his voice and said: "You just stay here.
Let’s go to Chang’an.”
"Why?" Samis was stunned for a moment.
They came to Chang'an to do business, and now all the goods they brought were sold to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty also gave them the goods they wanted, and the quantity far exceeded their expectations.
Now they should go back to Sassanid, sell these things to the Sasanians, and then prepare some goods to come to Dahan again to exchange for Dahan's specialties.
But, brother, what does this mean?
Just when Samis was puzzled, Salode came to her side and said with a smile: "Sister, don't you like Chang'an?"
"I like it, of course I do," Samith said.
Compared to Sasan, she really prefers Chang'an. There are many people in Chang'an, and there are many things in the market that she has never seen before. Moreover, the surrounding environment of Chang'an is beautiful, which is definitely much better than Sasan.
However, no matter how much she likes it, this is not her home. Her home is in Sassanid. She should go back with her two brothers and come to Chang'an in the future.
However, Sallotto called his sister into the house, and there were only three of them in the house.
"Sister, tell eldest brother;" Sallotto said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, how is this person?"
"" Samis was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Very good, very kind, and very friendly to us. He doesn't have the airs of a king at all. The most important thing is that he is very generous and has given us so much money."
Goods."
"Do you like him?" Sallotto asked.
"Ah" Samith was stunned.
Samis really didn't expect that her eldest brother would ask her this, but the image of Liu Chan appeared in her mind involuntarily.
'He is the emperor, but he does not have the airs of a king. I always thought that as the ruler of an empire, he should be unsmiling and aloof.'
‘But, this Han emperor is like a big brother next door.’
"Brother!" Salode glanced at his sister and said with a smile: "It seems that our worries are unnecessary."
"Yes!" Sallotto nodded, and did not go to talk to his stunned sister, but said to Salode: "Tomorrow, let's go see His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty again."
"Okay!" Salode responded, and then he and his brother left the room, went to the yard, and worked with the servants to move the goods into the room next to them.
When Samith came back to her senses from the daze, she was the only one left in the room.
"Brother!"
"Second brother!"
"What did you mean just now?"
As she spoke, she trotted out of the house and went to the yard to ask her two brothers. However, the two brothers were busy carrying goods at the moment. Sallotto smiled and said casually: "It's nothing. Have a good rest. I'll take care of the rest."
Let the elder brother do it."
......
The next morning.
Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.
Liu Chan was woken up from his bed by the eunuch Fu'an.
"Salotto," Liu Chan said slowly, "but you are not satisfied with yesterday's goods?"
Liu Chan was a little puzzled. The Sallotto brothers came to see him this early in the morning. Could it be that they were dissatisfied with the goods given to them yesterday?
‘Don’t have too much appetite.’
After yesterday's banquet, Liu Chan also went to see the goods sent by Salotto and the others. There were five full carts, most of which were spices. Four carts of spices alone were loaded with them. The remaining items were almost a cart, and Liu Chan liked them the most.
In this car, in addition to the bag of potatoes, there are two bags of corn, and a bag of pomegranate, pea, and mung bean seeds.
Compared to the four carts of spices, Liu Chan preferred this cart of seeds. Although mung beans and peas were already planted somewhere, as well as pomegranates. In fact, they were already planted near Chang'an. The number was not large, it should be
It was introduced to the Central Plains during the Eastern Han Dynasty or the early Three Kingdoms period.
What satisfied Liu Chan the most was naturally the bag of potatoes and the two bags of corn. According to historical records, corn and potatoes were only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, which is now more than a thousand years earlier.
Perfect——
As a history buff, I naturally have a certain understanding of these, because the introduction of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes not only changed the food structure of the Central Plains, but also helped the people of the Central Plains survive one after another in the following hundreds of years.
Natural and man-made disasters.
For ordinary people, these potatoes and corn may be just a kind of food, but for Liu Chan now, this is an important weight to stabilize the country in the future.
Just last night, Liu Chan had asked Fu'an to find Xu Shu, the imperial censor, and asked him to find a way to open up a piece of uncultivated land near Chang'an. After spring, the emperor would open it up as an exclusive royal farm.
Also because he valued corn and potatoes as high-yielding grains, yesterday Liu Chan had someone send a large amount of their favorite goods to the Salotto brothers and sisters.
But——
You guys ran into the palace this morning, aren’t you satisfied?
"No, no, no -" Salotto heard this and quickly waved his hands and said: "The goods given by your Majesty are too many."
‘Huh, I don’t dare think it’s too little for you.’
'If you dare to think too little, I will take back all the rewards immediately.' Liu Chan thought in his heart, but he said with a smile: "That's good, that's good...Then why do you come to the palace to see me today?
Important matter?"
Just after he finished speaking, Liu Chan was suddenly startled and seemed to have guessed their purpose.
‘You must have received the reward and prepared to meet the Sasanian people. Before leaving, you went to the palace to say goodbye to me. Not bad, not bad, and quite polite.’
But just as Liu Chan was thinking about it secretly, Sallotto paused and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
When Salotto was speaking, both brothers stood up, saluted Liu Chan, protected their chest with one hand, and then bowed deeply.
"You two are free of charge. If you have anything to say, please just say it!"
"We are friends!"
The Sallotto brothers were polite, so Liu Chan naturally responded with satisfaction. However, as soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Sallotto said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, in order to express our brother and sister's respect for you...for the many things you have given us.
Rewards express gratitude."
"What are you going to do?" Liu Chan was a little confused.
"You two are welcome, you have come all the way, you are my big man's guests;" Liu Chan smiled and waved his hand and said: "You should treat guests like this, as you should."
"Thank you!" Sallotto thanked him first, and then said: "We want to dedicate our little sister to His Majesty and let her serve His Majesty. We hope that Your Majesty will not dislike our humble status."
"What?" Liu Chan was shocked and asked, "Have you ever been so grateful?"
