Chen Shuda rubbed his head and said: "Du He has only been a county official for a few days, and his tail is already raised to the sky. He doesn't even give face to the Ministry of Rites... Huh, let's see how he handles himself. Keep talking.
, For this grand event, do not use anything that has nothing to do with the Dream Group. All the revolving wooden chairs that were previously planned to be used are cancelled. Also, the furniture is not from Datang Furniture Factory..."
This grand event was carefully prepared by the Rites Department and a lot of items from Dream Group were used. The furniture was from Datang Furniture Factory, the pens, inks, paper and inkstones were from Datang Study Room, and many other items were purchased from Chang'an International.
Center purchase.
Now, Chen Shuda got angry and canceled everything.
…
Royal Palace.
Ximen Qing reported Du He's intention to Li Er.
Snapped.
"Du He actually rejected my kindness? Huh, forget it, let him go. I heard that the Japanese prince Suga Yazi is interested in doing business with the Tang Dynasty. There must be big business to do. I originally planned to let Du He and Eda Yazi
Let’s talk and bring more business to Dream Group. Who knew this brat wouldn’t appreciate it? It’s really unreasonable. In that case, don’t blame me!” Li Er said angrily.
…
Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Have you heard? Du He actually refused to attend tomorrow's event!"
"It's so stupid. Such a grand event only happens once in a hundred years... no, it only happens once in a thousand years. You want to be recorded in history, but you don't participate. It's extremely stupid!"
…
Ministry of official affairs.
"Du He is a scourge, it would be better if he didn't show up!"
"This kind of person won't last long!"
"Yes, Du He is too arrogant!"
…
Sikong Mansion.
Changsun Chong said excitedly: "Dad, Du He didn't even go to see the Japanese prince. This is our Sikong Mansion's opportunity!"
"Chong'er, tell me, where is the opportunity?" Changsun Wuji asked slowly and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Changsun Chong analyzed: "Dad, I heard that Su Wo Yazi came to Chang'an this time to increase trade with the Tang Dynasty and to conduct more business with the Tang Dynasty... His Majesty is partial and wants Du He's Dream Group to take the majority.
, and the Dream Group has many goods that we don’t have for the time being. In this way, our Sikong Mansion will definitely suffer. It’s better now. If Du He doesn’t attend the grand meeting, he will definitely offend the Ministry of Rites and His Majesty. By then, as long as we work hard, we can get the same amount as
If Japan trades most of its business, then it will make a fortune..."
Changsun Wuji heard the words and nodded happily: "Chong'er, you are finally right this time. As a father, you have the same idea. You call the housekeeper here. We must discuss a countermeasure tonight and have a good talk with the Japanese prince.
, Although Japan is a small country, it still has many goods that are in short supply in the Tang Dynasty. If we can get the support of Eda Yazi, our eldest son's family's business can expand..."
"Yes, Dad!"
Immediately, the Changsun family began to prepare intensively.
In the second half of the night, Changsun Wuji and everyone finally came up with a perfect countermeasure, and were waiting to meet with Eda Yoshiko after the grand event tomorrow.
…
Early in the morning, the high officials of the court entered the palace in costume.
First, Li Er and Yi Qian, the civil and military ministers, met with the Japanese prince Su Wo Yazi in Taiji Hall. Su Wo Yazi presented the most precious night pearl on behalf of Japan, and then went to the side hall of Taiji Hall for dinner. The Ministry of Rites had prepared songs, dances, delicacies, etc. to entertain Su Wo Yazi.
Naturally, Li Er also prepared generous rewards for Su Wo Yazi and his party.
Everything starts according to procedure.
"Xuan Dongying's envoy Su Wayazi and his party have an audience!"
Zhao Yang stood outside the Tai Chi Hall and shouted loudly.
The civil and military ministers lined up on both sides and looked outside.
Li Er also raised his head and looked outside.
Soon, Su Wo Yazi and others came in.
Seeing this, many people frowned.
I saw a total of ten people including Suga Yazi, all dressed casually, and even had swords on their waists.
"Japanese envoys are rude and are not allowed to wear weapons when entering the palace, even foreign envoys are no exception!" someone whispered.
Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, stood up and explained: "My lords, please don't panic. I discussed this with Prince Suwa Yazi last night. The prince said that in Japan, all warriors have swords that are never separated from their bodies. The swords are like their hands and feet and cannot be separated. This matter
I have informed your majesty, and your majesty also agreed!"
"I see!"
"It's excusable!"
Everyone nodded.
At this time, I saw the Japanese prince Su Er Yazi walking to the center of the hall with a carefree attitude. Ten people stood like this, looking here and there, and finally looked at Li Er on the dragon chair. Su Er Yazi spoke.
Asked: "Are you the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
This guy can actually speak standard Chinese dialect.
His eyes were full of contempt.
The ministers immediately became angry.
"It's so rude for me to stop my teeth!"
"Why don't you bow when you see His Majesty?"
"Hurry up and see the gift!"
The civil and military ministers criticized him one after another.
Someone said: "You are indeed a barbarian from a foreign country and don't know etiquette!"
"Hopeless!"
Li Er also frowned.
He has also received many envoys, but he has never seen Xiang Suwo Yazi so arrogant.
Li Er stared at Su Wa Yazi and asked: "Are you Su Wa Yazi?"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"Well, since you are here to pay tribute, you can present your things and stay in Chang'an for a few days and then go back." Li Er said displeased.
There is no need to hold a grand event.
Don't even think about rewards.
As for trade, don’t even think about it!
Li Er is also a person with a temper.
Suga Yazi glanced at the courtiers around him, and the contempt in his eyes became stronger: "Your Majesty, the treasure is here with me, but it is not that easy for me to offer the treasure?"
Um?
Everyone was stunned.
Is this guy here to offer a treasure or to cause trouble?
Just listen to Su Wo Yazi say: "I have long heard that the Tang Dynasty has many capable people and is very rich...but I can't see it. Just in time, I, a Japanese craftsman, made an eight-treasure ship and wanted to compete with the best ships in the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty's ship can beat my Eight Treasure Ship, I will naturally offer this Night Pearl with both hands. If it cannot win, then I'm sorry, I can only take this Night Pearl back to Japan!"
What?
"What a loud tone!"
"This guy and Du He are in the same group, why are you talking so shamelessly!"
"You, a small country, dare to compete with me, the Celestial Empire!"
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities!”
Everyone yelled.
Su Wo Yazi turned around and sneered: "Are these the ministers of the Tang Dynasty? They all look weak and can only make loud noises, but they don't even dare to compete. It's really disappointing!"
"you……"
Everyone stared angrily.
At this time, Li Er spoke: "Okay, Su Wo Yazi, I will give you a chance today to see how my Tang Dynasty ship can defeat you. If you lose, not only will you present your treasure, you...
Su Wo Yazi, the prince of Japan, will live in Chang'an for three more years, and Japan's attack on Tang Dynasty will double every year, how about that?"
Li Er couldn't bear this tone and directly made the conditions.
Everyone thought that Su Wayazi would refuse.
Unexpectedly, Su Wayazi agreed very simply: "Okay!"
