"No, the Hongwu Kingdom and our Da Chu are allies and have already signed a hundred-year friendship treaty. However, the prince of our Da Chu and His Majesty the Hongwu Kingdom are also here. I wonder if City Master Lu Hai wants to meet them?"
Kuvadicanas really didn’t know what Dachu was, and he didn’t understand much about what he heard from the prince. However, since they said that the two countries were allies, and the king of Hongwu Kingdom was there, he would meet them together.
.
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded: "Of course I want to meet you, and I also ask for your introduction."
Seeing him like this, Jiang Hongxuan felt quite uncomfortable.
In his opinion, the Great Chu is much better than the Hongwu Kingdom. Needless to say in terms of military force, but also in terms of materials, the canals have been opened and there is no shortage of water. Given time, the Great Chu may catch up with the Hongwu Kingdom. Maybe.
It won't take long, it will be done in three to five years.
It's just that the countries on the other side of the sea now only know the Hongwu Kingdom, but they don't know about Dachu. It can only be said that Dachu has been closed to the country due to inconvenient transportation over the past few years.
But it doesn't matter, since they have come out this time and brought books with them, sooner or later Da Chu's reputation will be promoted.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hongxuan suppressed the emotion in his eyes, turned his head to call the shadow guard, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then he looked at Kuvadikanas with a smile and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord Luhai!"
Kuvadikanas was now also interested in Jiang Hongxuan, who had always been very calm from the time he appeared until now, and immediately asked: "What is your country like? Is it far away from Hongwu Country?"
When Jiang Hongxuan heard that he finally asked about Dachu, he said with a smile in his eyes: "My Dachu is very good. It can be said to be more powerful than Hongwu Kingdom. It's just that we were inland before and there was no sea, so we rarely interacted with the countries on this side of the sea.
We have some exchanges. So far, the only country on this side of the sea that has good relations with Dachu is the Frankish Kingdom. Their Countess Campbell and my Dachu Princess Mo are like sisters. It is also appropriate for us to come here this time.
Countess Campbell of the Frankish Kingdom invited them to be their guest. There was a lot of chatter when passing by."
Jiang Hongxuan said this very deliberately. He actually didn't know how the Frankish Kingdom was in the countries on the other side of the sea. However, judging from the reaction of the people at the Maritime Safety Administration when he was in Hongwu Kingdom, it should be considered powerful.
At the moment, he doesn't want Da Chu to be looked down upon by this Luhai City Lord, so he can only move Campbell out.
I mean, you see, our Da Chu is so good with the Frankish Kingdom. You small countries should not look down on us just because you don’t know about our Da Chu.
Kuvadicanas naturally knew about the Frankish Kingdom, which was far away from their Cangming Kingdom, but that country was very powerful. A few years ago, their countess passed by their Cangming Kingdom by boat, but she did not visit him in Qiaobo.
Instead of staying in Fuzhou, he chose another city.
According to the words of the man in front of her, His Excellency Jiang Hongxuan, the countess was probably looking for their Princess Mo.
From this point of view, this country called Dachu should not be underestimated.
Just now he said that if the Hongwu Kingdom was on good terms with them, then their Cangming Kingdom could also be on good terms with such a powerful country.
After sorting out these things, the smile on Kuvadikanas' face became more friendly, and he changed the topic: "What kind of glass mirror did you use to mortgage the money for your house? I wonder what it is. Can I have a look?"
Kuvadikanas seemed to have forgotten that he had just seen the glass mirror from the innkeeper. He even pretended that Jiang Hongxuan had not seen it, so he opened his eyes and lied and asked directly.
Jiang Hongxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "This time I came out, the goods I brought were limited, and those were meant to be taken to the Frankish Kingdom. Before, our Princess Mo came to take them with nothing to do.
When we went out to take a look in the mirror, we were seen by the innkeeper. They said they liked the glass mirror very much and asked us to use the glass mirror as collateral for the rent. We also offered to buy it. We haven't figured out how to decide yet. The goods are all on the ship.
I won’t be able to come up with anything new for a while. If City Master Lu Hai wants to see it, he might as well discuss it with the inn owner and borrow it for a look."
This was the first time for Kuvadikanas that his request to see something was rejected, but he was not angry either.
In his opinion, if it is a good thing, it is naturally much more precious and cannot be carried casually. Anyway, he has seen the exquisiteness of the mirror.
As the gentleman in front of me said, if the owner of the inn hadn't accidentally seen it, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been spread.
Since there are such good things, he should first borrow them from someone and look at them carefully. It would be best to ask him to take them back. Maybe these things are not available in Hongwu Kingdom.
If Hongwu Kingdom also has it, then he can ask the merchants of Hongwu Kingdom to make demands later.
Jiang Hongxuan saw that there was no displeasure on Kuvadikanas's face, but he turned around and got up to find the innkeeper. He felt proud of his wit.
The more popular glass mirrors are, it means there is a market. When the Maritime Safety Administration is contacted by Qi Lie, they can write a letter back and let people start this overseas trade. With glass mirrors, rouge and gouache, maybe they
You can also make a lot of money.
Whether it is the Hongwu Kingdom or Dachu, the glass kiln is a poetic sister.
Sister Shiqing makes a lot of money. Anyway, most of it is used to develop Dachu, which can be regarded as being used on the people.
And relying on these, it may be able to improve the lives of many people.
After all, if we want to grow bigger, it is not something that the current people can do, and we will definitely have to continue to recruit workers.
In the small wooden house, Emperor Dexuan had been reluctant to go out. Even if someone came to call him, he still kept his airs.
Yan Shiqing, who originally wanted to go out with him, glanced at Chu Ximo when he heard the guards came to report that he did not want to go out to see the Lord Qiao Bo.
"Qingqing, just wait here and come as soon as you go for your husband."
Chu Ximo said, squeezed Yan Shiqing's hand, then let go and let the little baby hold her, and walked towards the wooden house where Emperor Dexuan was.
Emperor Dexuan in the wooden house heard a knock on the door and couldn't help but smile. When he was about to ask Eunuch Quan to refuse again, Chu Ximo's voice came from outside the door.
"That's it. She's not a newlywed, so she needs to be invited twice. Don't forget, the main reason why you want to see the Lord of Qiaobo City. If you don't come out, I will take the first step, and then your talks will collapse.
Don't look for me or anything like that."
Chu Ximo knew Emperor Dexuan fairly well, and his words seemed to have pinched the lifeline of Emperor Dexuan, and he was also quite rude.
He was sure that as long as Emperor Dexuan wanted to get the gold, he would definitely come out!
When Quan Gonggong heard Chu Ximo's words, his face turned pale with fright. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at his emperor for fear of being angered and killed on the spot.
Emperor Dexuan was a little unhappy when he heard Chu Ximo's words, but he also understood that what he said was the truth.
If this were in his Hongwu country, he could always be on air, but unfortunately not here.
In this strange country and strange language, the only people he could rely on were King Mo and his entourage.
Even if you want to discuss something with City Lord Qiaobo, you have to ask them to be present.
Chu Ximo listened to the rapid breathing inside and knew that Emperor Dexuan was adjusting his emotions, so he did not rush and just stood outside the door.
Not long after, Emperor Dexuan was seen coming out with a serious face, followed by Eunuch Quan.
"Let's go, don't keep people waiting!"
After Chu Ximo finished speaking, he left first.
Emperor Dexuan felt more and more aggrieved, but he had to tell himself that it didn't matter. When he met the lord of Qiaobo City in the hall, he could get back a lot of gold.
And once this is resolved, the Wei family of Hongwu Kingdom can also steal it, and more gold will belong to him.
Thinking about it like this, he felt a lot better.
When Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo arrived in the lobby, they saw a man with three-dimensional features holding a glass mirror in his hand, talking to Jiang Hongxuan in high spirits and not knowing what to say.
Jiang Hongxuan heard the footsteps, turned around and saw the people coming, and immediately said to Kuvadikanas: "Our King Mo and Princess Mo of Chu are here."
Kuvadikanas also understood their identities at this moment. They were the royal people of Da Chu.
"Lu Hai has met King Mo and Princess Mo of Chu!"
Kuvadicanas performed the highest etiquette of their country towards Chu Ximo and Yan Shiqing to show their respect for them.
Chu Ximo was surprised at first when he heard his awkward words, and then said: "Are you the city lord of Qiaobo Mansion?"
"Exactly!"
Yan Shiqing never said a word, but just sat down next to Chu Ximo.
Kuvadikanas was just about to sit down when he heard footsteps coming again. When he saw the person, he hesitated for a moment and guessed the identity of the person. Then he heard the sharp voice of the father-in-law Quan reported: "The emperor has arrived...
…”
As soon as he said this, several of the guards they had brought with them came out of the darkness, knelt on the ground, and loudly said: "I will bow to the emperor!"
When Emperor Dexuan saw this, his dissatisfaction eased a lot: "Ping Shen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"xdw8
When he appeared, it was difficult for Chu Ximo and others to ignore him. Everyone seemed to be watching a show, seeing Emperor Dexuan putting on airs, coming towards this side, and finally sat down not far from Chu Ximo.
Upon seeing this, Kuvadicanas confirmed the identity of the person in front of him and immediately stood up, showing unprecedented respect to Emperor Dexuan: "Lu Hai has met His Majesty Hongwu."
Emperor Dexuan looked Kuvadicanas up and down without leaving a trace, and then nodded slightly arrogantly: "Why did you come here late at night?"
Kuvadikanas can speak Chinese, but his language is nondescript, and communication is slightly inconvenient.
But if it were spoken in plain language, you could still get a general idea. When Emperor Dexuan suddenly said the words "Ru, etc.", he was completely confused and had no idea what it meant.
Yan Shiqing glanced at Kuvadikanas who was confused, and then saw Emperor Dexuan who was still holding his chin high, waiting for an answer. She couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then looked at Jiang Hongxuan.
