His Majesty Li Er formally received the Tibetan envoys at Taiji Palace.
"Dear Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am here on behalf of the Regent of Tibet, Kili Xu Shangnian."
"The regent said that long-term war is not good for either of our countries, and he hopes that the years of war can be ended."
"Therefore, I want to marry and make peace with the Tang Dynasty."
The Tibetan envoy got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
His Majesty Li Er, who was a little distracted at first, perked up after hearing these words!
In-law reconciliation?!
His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"I heard that Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty has now reached the age of marriage, so I am here to formally propose to the Prince Regent to marry Princess Changle," the messenger continued.
Upon hearing these words, His Majesty Li Er's expression changed, and a ferocious emotion surged into his heart!
That old man who is nearly fifty years old, Kili Xu Shangnian actually wants to marry Princess Changle who is still in her prime?!
These words of the Tibetan envoy not only made His Majesty Li Er angry, but even the generals in the hall could not contain their anger!
"Go away! You Tubo are so brave! How dare you plot against my princess of the Tang Dynasty?! I'll be the first to chop you to death!" Li Jing pulled out his saber and was about to go forward and slash!
Fortunately, the guards on the side took action in time, otherwise the Tibetan envoy might have been splashed with blood on the spot!
Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, Changsun Wuji said: "I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot agree to this matter!"
After saying that, he secretly glanced at His Majesty Li Er, fearing that he would actually kill him in anger!
Fortunately, although His Majesty Li Er's face was not good-looking, he was not ready to go berserk.
However, what surprised Changsun Wuji the most was that the Tibetan envoy faced such a battle without any fear, and even had a trace of pride in his eyes?!
After taking a deep look at the Tibetan envoy, Changsun Wuji paid attention to him.
Yes, the Tibetan envoy is indeed very proud now!
Because the current situation is all within his control!
As early as when he was traveling to and from the Tang Dynasty, the beggar Li Shang Xu Nian had warned him carefully.
Their goal is not the Princess of the Tang Dynasty at all, but their farming technology!
As the envoy recalled that speech in his mind, the hall gradually became quiet.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Tubo envoy said: "I, Tubo, do not understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and my request is indeed too rude. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Seeing that he had such a good attitude in admitting his mistake, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer so serious.
"However, I, Tubo, sincerely want to make peace and hope to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. We have nothing else to ask for except peace and marriage."
"Here, I change my request on behalf of His Highness the Regent. I just want to marry a noble lady of the Tang Dynasty. I hope it will come true!"
With the previous foreshadowing, his current request does not seem so excessive.
His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Do you really have nothing else to ask for?!"
"I, Tubo, greatly admire the farming culture of the Tang Dynasty and want to exchange experiences with the Tang Dynasty. I hope that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will make it happen!"
"Let's do this for now. We'll discuss this later."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and did not want to say anything more.
Seeing that the plan seemed to be successful, the Tubo envoy raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Okay! Then I will wait for the emperor's voice!"
After saying this, the Tibetan envoys withdrew.
After the Tubo envoy left, the whole hall exploded!
This time, not only the military attache was very angry, but even the civilian officials couldn't bear it!
"Your Majesty, this Tubo is really bullying others!"
"Your Majesty, let's start a war! I, the Tang Dynasty, can't swallow this breath no matter what I say!"
"They talk so nicely, do they really think we don't know what they are thinking?!"
For a time, there was a rare unity of opinion in the hall, and the ministers were excited, saying that they would go to war with Tubo!
"I have my own way of dealing with it, but I must not be reckless!"
His Majesty Li Er raised his hand and said: "Let's deal with this barbarian casually first. It's best to gather more information and then let him go back to Tibet!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Listening to the praises in the hall, His Majesty Li Er didn't look happy at all.
Today's meeting with the Tibetan envoy did not make him feel any better, but made him even more angry!
However, now is really not a good time to send troops. This matter can only be discussed in the long term!
Unlike His Majesty Li Er, who was furious, the Tibetan envoy was actually in a good mood now.
In his opinion, everything will go according to Qili Shangxunian's plan, and he can just go back with the farming technology when the time comes.
So, he wandered around Chang'an City happily.
Although he has been in Chang'an for some time, he is still a little shocked every time he sees the prosperity of Chang'an City.
Yanpingmen.
At this time, a group of people from the Tang Dynasty were seen surrounding the city gate, and the scene was very heated.
This made the Tibetan envoy very curious, so he walked up.
When I got closer, I saw that they were pointing at a picture posted on the city wall.
There are some strange patterns and words on the pictorial, and there is a basket of sweet potatoes next to the pictorial.
Naturally, the Tibetan envoy had never seen sweet potatoes, so he went up and took a closer look.
Looking at the drawings in the illustrated magazine, he knew that this was a method of growing crops!
The Tubo envoy was immediately overjoyed. He did not expect that the farming technology of the Tang Dynasty could be obtained by him so easily!
It’s really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get it!
Although he couldn't understand the text of the Tang Dynasty, there were pictures in the pictorial!
At this moment, the Tibetan envoy was really happy and quickly remembered the method of planting the pictures above.
There is no doubt that these pictorials and sweet potatoes were arranged by Su Chen.
After the first batch of pictorials was completed, Su Chen led thousands of people from Wannian County to Chang'an City and started the first promotion.
In just one morning, sweet potatoes were promoted to the entire city of Chang'an!
In addition to detailed graphic tutorials, each pictorial also contains baskets of sweet potatoes. This will facilitate the promotion of sweet potatoes.
Su Chen also wandered around Chang'an City, wanting to see what the people's attitude towards sweet potatoes was.
Soon, more and more people noticed the sweet potatoes, and the baskets became increasingly empty.
Su Chen was very happy about this. It seemed that the first promotion was very successful!
"As long as they don't take it back and eat it directly."
Su Chen muttered softly.
This time, Su Chen was not impatient. He no longer said that sweet potatoes could produce fifty acres per mu, but instead said that it was a new type of crop.
In this way, the people will not be too resistant.
After they discover that sweet potatoes are so high-yielding, they will actively grow them themselves.
By then, the Tang Dynasty would no longer be afraid of famine.
However, when Su Chen came to Yanping Gate, he saw something unexpected.
That was the Tibetan envoy picking up the sweet potatoes in the basket.
