Since it demonstrated the status of Qin Dynasty, it also took care of North Korea, so that North Korea would not be too embarrassed.
As for the contrast between the rivers, seas and streams, the sun, the moon and the stars, the gap between them is visible to the naked eye anyway. It was with the help of Qin that even the founding of Joseon was established, let alone the culture, military and social system of Joseon.
, almost all of them imitated or even copied the system of the Qin Dynasty.
Regarding the Qin Dynasty as the main country and the superior country, this is a matter of course in the eyes of the Korean people.
After Li Chen finished speaking, he raised his wine glass first.
Then the officials of the Qin Dynasty and the envoys of the Joseon Dynasty all picked up the wine glasses on their tables, turned to Li Chen and saluted from a distance, and said in unison: "I, please... remember your highness's teachings."
According to the diplomatic etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, after the opening words were spoken and the first glass of wine was drunk, the following banquet officially entered a relatively relaxed stage.
As long as Li Chen at the top doesn't say anything, the people below can toast more casually. Of course, the first glass of wine must be toasted to Li Chen first.
Li Chen can drink or not. Basically, officials below the third rank are not qualified to toast Li Chen directly. For officials below the second rank, Li Chen only dips his lips into the wine glass, but this is already considered a great honor.
It's just that the North Korean mission has another more important thing in mind.
"Princess, you can present your gift now."
The man with a goatee on his chin whispered to Jin Xueyuan.
At this moment, Jin Xueyuan's heart was in chaos, and she still had not recovered from Li Chen's change in identity.
But after three rounds of drinking, if you don't start giving gifts, it will be a waste of time.
Jin Xueyuan nodded, biting her lip, and glanced at Li Chen, who was sitting high up, looking down at the entire hall. At this moment, Li Chen's eyes also fell on her.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Jin Xueyuan didn't know if Li Chen could understand her doubts, complications and questions, but she could see a hint of amusement in Li Chen's eyes, which were as deep as the stars.
Lowering his head slightly, Jin Xueyuan stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.
As she stood up, the Kangtai Hall, which was still talking to each other and the atmosphere was quite lively, suddenly became quiet. Everyone knew that Jin Xueyuan, as the envoy of the North Korean mission, was about to start the process.
"Jin Xueyuan, the envoy of the Joseon Dynasty, entered Liaodong from the Joseon Dynasty and traveled more than a thousand miles. This time he came to the capital to meet His Highness. He was grateful for the selfless help of the Qin Dynasty to the Joseon Dynasty. He was also grateful for the hundreds of years of good relations between the two countries and the special preparations for the country.
I present three copies of the gift to Your Highness to express the gratitude of the Korean royal family and the gratitude of the subjects. Please allow Your Highness."
Li Chen sat on the high platform, his expression showed no emotion or anger, and said calmly: "That's right."
Even if an envoy from a foreign state wants to send gifts, he still needs the permission of the suzerain state.
After obtaining Li Chen's permission, Jin Xueyuan suppressed the complicated emotions surging in her heart and turned her hand. Naturally, someone came up respectfully holding a wooden plate covered with red brocade.
Jin Xueyuan said: "This is the first national gift."
Jin Xueyuan raised her hand and opened the brocade, followed by a sound of exclamation.
Although they know that North Korea is rich in ginseng, and that it can be sent as a national gift, it must be a rare treasure, but when people see this old ginseng that is as long as an adult's arm, and its meridians spread out like the crown of a century-old tree,
, I still can’t help but be shocked.
"This ginseng was discovered by an old farmer in our country deep in the mountains. However, it grows on extremely high altitude peaks that almost no one can reach. It is precisely because of this that it can grow safely for hundreds of years.
The royal family learned the news and organized a team of the most experienced ginseng pickers. After half a month and dozens of casualties, they finally dug it out completely."
