Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 784: Great harvest!

"The messenger of the Kingdom of Zhenla pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang~!"

"The envoys of Funan State pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang~!"

"The envoys of the Kingdom of Pui pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang~!"

As Li Xiaogong's voice fell, a group of people with different skin colors and clothing came downstairs. They performed various etiquette and said respectfully to Li Ergong.

Some people spoke in their native language, and some people spoke in very blunt Chinese. Upon seeing this, Li Xiaogong quickly assigned a middle-aged scribe next to him to help with translation.

After Li Er listened to Longyan Dayue, as an emperor, there is nothing bad about being happy. It's just that each emperor's focus is different.

"Haha~! Good~! Where is Cui Aiqing~?"

Cui Shanfu emerged from the hundreds of civil and military officials, and said, "The old minister is here!"

"Bring the envoys of various countries to the Hongyou Temple to be entertained, and there must be no difference! Three days later, I will summon all countries at the Great Dynasty Conference!"

In the Tang Dynasty, Hongxu Temple was one of the nine temples. It held tributes, banquets, gifts, and welcomes to the four barbarians, as well as the ban on the evil rites of the country, the temples of the Central Capital, and the Taoist Temples. The ruler of the four barbarians and the ambassador will distinguish their ranks, treat them as guests, give them speeches, gifts, and banquets when they are awarded with the premises, and they must not have the pre-organized tools and the professional translations under their jurisdiction There are twenty target languages, each of whom is fluent in a different foreign language.

In general, Honghe Temple is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the additional function of a translation bureau. Cui Shanfu is the Hongyousiqing at this time.

An institution corresponding to Honghe Temple is called Dianke Office, but the functions of the two are substantially different. Honghe Temple hosts foreign guests, while Dianke Office mainly handles ethnic affairs.

"Chen Zunzhi~!"

Cui Shanfu was silent on the face, but secretly groaned in his heart, because this time there were envoys from 32 countries. The number is so rare that it is rare to see in a century. There are so many from different countries. The messenger, it takes a lot of effort to communicate, let alone other things, and Cui Shangfu's pressure is all at once.

Envoys from various countries left the pier with Cui Shanfu and went to Chang'an. After Li Er looked at the boundless boats on the river, he turned around and said:

"Xiao Aiqing and Yan Aiqing, the two of you are here to coordinate the freight. The grain and goods on the official ships of the imperial court are directly transported to the Ministry of Households, and the goods on the private merchant ships, you order people to count the income of each family, and they pay commercial tax. After that, let them start unloading! Pay attention to prevent some people from secretly stealing!"

When the fleet went south, the court said that all merchant ships that accompany the army south must pay half of the merchant tax based on the business income, which can be understood as a protection fee, but the 20,000 elite navy forces dispatched by the court Compared with a luxurious lineup, this protection fee is really cheap.

"The old minister takes the order~!"

When Xiao Yu, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yan Lide, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry, heard that, when Li Er called his name, they hurried forward to answer.

Li Er nodded, seeing that everything was done here, and then he said to the officials: "Go back to the court~!"

The **** has passed the order of Li Er's order, and the hundreds of civil and military officials who came with him suddenly promised. Li Er brought Li Xiaogong and the court officials to the palace. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at it. Li Zexuan, who was secretly beating soy sauce, said, "You also go back to the palace with me~!"

Li Zexuan looked inexplicable, wondering why "Goddess of Luck" suddenly came to his head, making him unable to resist.

"Yes, your majesty~!"

Since he can't resist, let's enjoy it. It just so happens that he also wants to hear what the whole country has gained this time.

………………………

"Gun Hejian, you come to talk to Aiqing about the harvest of this trip?"

After Li Er brought the ministers back to the Taiji Hall, he sat right above, looked at Li Xiaogong and said with a smile.

"Yes, your majesty~!"

Li Xiaogong had already prepared, he responded, then took out a booklet and began to read slowly:

"This time the imperial court raised a total of 500 official ships. The ministers used more than 3,000 silks and porcelain to exchange a total of 880,000 shi for grain, such as Gansong, Suhe, Anxi, and Turmeric. A total of 170,000 jin of various spices, such as, Naduo, Heluo, clove, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, black agarwood, white brain incense, Angelica dahurica, Dola, Gansong, Sanqi, 70 pairs of ivory, on tiger skin Thousands, there are countless specialties of various Southeast Asian countries~! There are also 50,000 catties of brass and 300,000 taels of silver~!"

Jing, as Li Xiaogong said one by one, the court suddenly fell into a strange silence!

Eight eight hundred eighty thousand stone grains. Although this amount is a bit large and a bit beyond everyone’s estimate, it can be attributed to the small South Asian countries that are rich in grain. They have never seen the gorgeous silk and porcelain of the Central Plains, but those twenty thousand What the **** is Jin Spice~? Do you think this thing as spice is weed or radish cabbage? Oh~IndoMTL.com~ At this time, radish is not called radish, it is called Fei (see "Cai Feng Cai Fei, No Substance" in "The Book of Songs·Bei Feng·Gu Feng"), and Chinese cabbage is not called cabbage, but song.

However, spices such as spices have always been very cherished in Datang. They are usually sold in two terms. Depending on the type, the price ranges from tens of texts to several consistent one or two. Ever heard of anyone Can you have tens of thousands of catties of spices~? The 170,000 catties of spices that Li Xiaogong said is too scary!

But it’s not that Li Xiaogong lied, because some spices are really flooded in some island countries in the South China Sea, just like weeds. They grow everywhere. The 20,000 navy soldiers he brought, but many times Farmer "mowing the grass"

As for 50,000 catties of brass and 300,000 taels of silver, this one is even more scary~! At present, all the silver mined in the entire Datang might add up to only two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and Li Xiaogong unexpectedly brought back 300,000 taels, and even more surprisingly, he also brought back 50,000 catties of yellow silver. Tong, many courtiers began to look at Li Xiaogong with weird eyes. They wanted to ask: "Brother, did you ransack a country~?"

Nothing but the courtiers were not surprised. The difference between the pay and the gain is really too big. According to Li Xiaogong, he only used more than 3,000 pieces of silk and porcelain to change things, but what about the things he brought back~ ? Just 880,000 stones of grain, according to the current price of food, can be worth more than 30,000, including 170,000 catties of spices, 300,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 catties of brass...Oh, my mother! Many ministers summed up in their hearts, and it turned out that they even had difficulty breathing!

Wind profits! This is more than ten times the huge profit! It is hundreds of times the huge profit of Te Niang! What can make more money than this in this world~?
