Origin Chapter 540: External audience

Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, and the person in charge of the summons walked out of the hall quickly and invited Zhou Raoguo's embassy in.

There are six people in Zhou Raoguo's embassy, ​​led by the great noble of Zhou Raoguo, namely the eldest princess. These people are only about four feet tall, like fake dwarfs, but they are different from common dwarfs. , Although they are small in stature, their proportions are very well-proportioned, and their length is very delicate.

Wu Zhongyuan was very curious about this modern extinct special race, so he asked a few more questions and asked about the customs of Zhou Raoguo. Zhou Raoguo is a small country with a population of more than 1,000, so they make a living The method is farming and creation. They can only barely make ends meet by farming. If they want to easily change other living utensils, they mainly rely on creation.

The so-called creation, as the name implies, is to make various utensils. The people of Zhourao are ingenious and can make very beautiful utensils, including daily necessities and other miscellaneous utensils.

This time, Zhou Raoguo brought two boxes, one large and one small. The large box is rectangular, about two meters long and two meters wide. It is a wooden box. According to the noble man, this box is a group of festive Fireworks, after lighting the fuze, will shoot Hershey fireworks into the sky. The small box is a copper box, but the size of a slap. This is a music box, and it is also wound. There should be many small chimes in it. After starting, it will emit a crisp percussion sound.

Wu Zhongyuan was not very interested in the music box, but he was very interested in the fireworks. He left the throne and came down to inspect it. After opening the wooden box, he could see eight thick bamboo tubes erected inside. The bamboo tubes were covered with copper. The hoop, the bamboo tube and the bamboo tube are connected by a fuze.

This structure is similar to the structure of modern fireworks, but it is very difficult to make such fireworks at this time. At this time, there is already gunpowder, but gunpowder cannot be used to make fireworks, because fire. After the drug is ignited, it explodes, and the manufacture of fireworks requires the use of propellant. The propellant is very different from the gunpowder. The former has a softer chemical reaction and produces high-pressure impact gas, while the latter has a chemical reaction. Violent, resulting in a violent explosion.

Being able to make fireworks means that Zhou Raoguo has prepared a pill, and the copper hoop on the bamboo tube shows that they are very familiar with the air pressure generated by the pill and know how to use the copper hoop to restrain and control it.

Theoretically, if you can make fireworks, you can make guns. Of course, this is only possible in theory. As for whether it can be done, you have to try it in practice.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to say it, but accepted the gift and asked what the other party wanted.

Zhou Raoguo really has appeals, and their appeals are very similar to Zaiguo. The area where they live is also very close to the sea. There are often huge seabirds attacking and preying on them. save them from fire and water.

When I ask about the specific location, it is also very close to the South China Sea, but Zaiguo is to the west and they are to the east. Wu Zhongyuan was going to go to Zaiguo. I didn't say it to death, but I was not worried that it was not the opponent of the huge seabird, but worried that those seabirds were also related to the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea. If this is the case, it means that people don't offend me, but I do, and it's a repeat offense. Isn't this an obvious provocation for the South China Sea Dragon Clan to fight in anger?

After Zhou Raoguo was the Red Hair Country. The Red Hair Country had the largest number of embassies. Eight people came, all of them strong men. All of them had bare backs and bare feet, and their hair was a rare red.

Each of them carried a basket on their backs, and the baskets were full of live animals, and they weren't any precious species, just some common southern animals.

After a short conversation, Wu Zhongyuan knew the real purpose of the other party's visit. These guys are here to beg.

Fortunately, they don't have much appetite, cloth, salt, weapons, give a little less of each, and send them away.

The next audience was the Gu clan. It was not the patriarch Miba, but his son. This boy Wu Zhongyuan had met by the river. The gifts they brought were a few boxes of medicinal herbs, mainly Panax notoginseng and tuckahoe. , Tianma and other things are more expensive but not very expensive.

The Gu clan just came to congratulate him without any requirements. Wu Ji and Wu Rong were very pleased about this, and Wu Zhongyuan knew the real motive of the other party's coming here. Before that, he had obtained the concentric Gu of the Gu clan , and Wan Shanhong once promised that if the Gu clan was in trouble, she would go to help. The Gu clan came here to deepen the relationship between the two parties. To put it bluntly, it came to hug her thighs. There is no requirement now, and there will definitely be in the future.

The mission of the Gu clan did not mention that they had seen Wu Zhongyuan, and pretended to have never seen it before. This was also their cleverness, because Wu Zhongyuan had already acquired their Concentric Gu, and used the Concentric Gu. It is a very secret thing, and if they talk nonsense, they will reveal it.

If I don't say it, I actually said it. The meaning of the wordless is 'Look at how well we can do things, we won't leak any rumors. ’

Those tribes in the Southern Wilderness generally lack clothing and fabrics, and the return gift to the Gu clan is ten pieces of silk cloth, not too much, but not too little, after all, the bear clan itself is not rich.

The envoy was summoned by the Ma Clan. The Ma Clan is the tribe that produced the dragon foal. When Wu Zhongyuan first came back, he also lied to the Bear Clan that he was from the Ma Clan.

The horse family is very generous and brought three mares. Ordinary mares are worthless, but they brought three pot-bellied mares. Ordinary pot-bellied mares are not valuable, but they are pregnant with dragon breeds. The mares are worth a hundred times more. These three big-bellied mares are all of the black dragon breed, and they will give birth to three dragon foals in the coming year.

If a female horse is used as an analogy to a woman, it will be slandering and contemptuous, but the nature of the two is actually similar. Every woman can have children, but it is who they give birth to children that decides their fate, and the children of the traffickers She is a woman, and she gives birth to a child to a general and a doctor is a wife, and she gives birth to a child to a king, and she is a queen.

Wu Junyue just came back when she summoned the Ma clan. The envoys of the Ma clan were very familiar with her, and Wu Junyue was also very close to them. The reason was very simple. The three horses of the horse clan this year were given to Wu Junyue.

In front of Wu Junyue, Wu Zhongyuan distributed three mares, one for Zuo Fudian, one for Youbi Palace, and one for the imperial guards. public.

Dragon foals are different from dragon foals. The three dragon foals born every year are one black and two gray. The black one is the best, and the gray one is the second. The horse clan has experience and knows which horse is black. Longju, Wu Zhongyuan left the best horse to the guards, saying that it was for public use, but in fact it was prepared for Wang Xinran.

What is the gift? The gift is sincerity. With such great sincerity, the Ma clan cannot be without demands, and their request is similar to the request of the barbarians. They hope that after the five seals disappear, the bear clan can send masters of purple energy to protect them.

Just as Wu Junyue was present, Wu Zhongyuan handed over the matter to her, "Junyue Taixuan, this matter will be handed over to you."

Wu Junyue answered the call.

The last person I met was the Fire Clan. The Fire Clan also came from northern Xinjiang. The reason why they called themselves the Fire Clan was not because they knew how to control fire, but because they used fire as a totem, and the gifts they brought were ten black altars. Oil, the so-called black oil, is a special kind of oil that can burn for lighting.

The Fire Clan didn't want anything, they just came to pay their respects as usual.

Northern Xinjiang is not very suitable for growing corn, so I gave a few hundred kilograms of rice grain as a thank you gift, and a dozen kilograms of purple sweet potato.

Wu Junyue returned to Wu Zhongyuan when the envoys of the Huo clan retired, and the Niu clan promised to come to congratulate him before he ascended the throne. In order to show respect for him, he would appoint as many people as the Niu clan came and who would come. Decision, the cattle follow the order. .

After Wu Junyue finished speaking, Wu Ji looked puzzled, "What is his intention?"

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "He is not at ease when he comes alone. If he leads the crowd, he is worried that we will think too much."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, all three nodded, and Wu Junyue asked again, "How many people does Wu allow him to bring?"

"It doesn't matter, he can bring as many as he likes." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"Then I will send someone to tell me." Wu Junyue turned to leave.

"Wait," Wu Zhongyuan stopped her, "How is Jiang Zheng?"

Wu Junyue did not understand why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question and tilted her head in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan was inconvenient to speak clearly, so he had to retweet and ask, "How does he look?"

"I look good, but I don't know why I'm missing two front teeth..."
