After the exquisite and tedious banquet, Han Du and others were led to the side hall to rest. In the side hall, there were benches with brocade cushions and sheets, carpets and exquisite mats that could be rolled up at both ends, as well as corresponding cooking utensils. , cups, spoons and coffee table.
Shaharul was very happy and said to the officials and nobles: "Everyone, today Ming merchants have brought us treasures from the mysterious East. You can choose to buy them freely."
Everyone paid symbolic respect to Shaharu, but they did not think that these Ming merchants could really come up with a treasure like a mirror.
The impression of those present on the Ming Dynasty was that it was rich in porcelain, silk, tea, etc.
Hader received Yu Qian's signal and quickly stood up to express his gratitude to Shaharu first.
Then he said to everyone: "Dear gentlemen, on behalf of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Harder will show you this treasure."
Following Hader's signal, a small wooden box was brought in by the servant.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the wooden box, which was no wider than a hand. This wooden box is small, but the key point is that it is very ordinary. There is not even a trace of carving on the surface, and there is no sense of value at all.
Harder listened to the sneers one after another, but showed no sign of it. I saw him opening the box and taking out a strange-looking thing.
"Distinguished gentlemen, this is a pair of glasses." Harder showed it to everyone, pointing and explaining: "The frame made of twisted gold wire is elegant and luxurious, and the lenses made of glass are far better than any crystal."
Everyone listened for a while, showing little interest.
Perhaps for ordinary Timurids, crystals and gold are out of reach, but for these people, there is nothing rare about having them at their fingertips!
Harder was not in a hurry, smiled and bowed, "Does that noble gentleman have trouble with blurry vision?"
A slightly fat man stood up with a smile, "Sir, I have this problem. Could this thing of yours be useful?"
Hader immediately recognized this person as Shaharul's political minister Jaffe.
"Of course it works. If Master Jia Fei doesn't believe it, you can try it."
Jaffe waved his hand calmly, interrupting Harder's words. "Sir, I also have a reading stone from Byzantium. Do you think this thing is better than a reading stone?"
Jaffe's meaning was obvious, that is, Hader should never try to deceive him. Otherwise, he would have exposed it on the spot. Z.br>
Harder was full of confidence and was not afraid of confronting Jia Fei. He said firmly: "Of course, the villain dare not deceive Master Jia Fei. If the glasses are not as good as the reading stone, the villain is willing to give up all his property."
Property is the guarantee of a person's credibility. As soon as Hader said this, even Jaffe temporarily believed him.
"Okay, let me try it, sir." Jia Fei walked up and asked curiously: "How to use this? Is it the same as the reading stone?"
Hader smiled and shook his head, "That's how you put it on."
After saying that, I tried to wear it myself.
Of course Jia Fei knew how simple it was, so he took the glasses and put them on his nose. It was slightly heavy, it was a gold frame after all, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Then he tried to open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He lost consciousness for a moment and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
His eyes have been blurry for many years, and they are getting worse. Even ordinary reading stones cannot solve his problem.
Originally, he had no hope for these glasses, but he didn't expect that these Ming businessmen really gave him a surprise.
"Jia Fei?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Shaharul couldn't help but asked curiously.
Jia Fei quickly turned around and bowed to Shaharul, "Your Majesty, Jia Fei, please forgive me for being rude."
Shaharul smiled lightly and waved his hand, curiously asking: "No problem, tell me about these glasses. How do you feel about them?"
"I feel that the whole world has become clearer. It is clearer than ever before. This is far beyond the comparison of reading stones. This is an unprecedented feeling, so amazing!" Originally a minister of state.
Jia Fei should be mature and steady, but now he can't help but show his excitement.
"Give me a try." Another great nobleman who was also troubled by eye problems couldn't help it. He reached out and snatched Jia Fei's eyes off.
Jia Fei suddenly felt that his eyes were covered with a layer of fog again, showing an unhappy look.
But when he recognized who had taken his glasses, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only secretly hope that there was more than one person.
"Huh?" As soon as the visitor put on his glasses, he immediately discovered a completely different world.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..How many years, how many years have passed, sir, I can finally find the feeling of youth..."
When Hard heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This great nobleman knew how to praise himself. He was such a good person!
"How much does it cost? The master wants this thing." The noble nobleman was afraid that his eyes would be snatched away by others again, so he quickly asked the price.
Seeing this, Hader originally negotiated a price of two hundred shillings, but he directly doubled it five times.
"A thousand tricks."
"It's cheap. Leave your address and ask someone to send the money to you." The nobleman bought it without hesitation.
To him, a thousand dollars was nothing, and it was incomparable to the brightness and clarity in front of him.
When other people saw that this man bought the eyes so decisively, people with the same problem began to accuse him.
Since Shaharul came to power, the nobles originally installed by Timur to protect his son suddenly became out of control.
Even Shaharul with his great victory could not make the nobles completely surrender and could only cooperate with them.
Therefore, in the Timurid Empire, the power of the ministers was far less than that of the great nobles, except of course those who had both identities.
Seeing that everyone was gradually noisy, Harder quickly explained: "Dear gentlemen, there are more than just these glasses. There is no need to fight for them."
Upon hearing this, Harder was instantly surrounded by more than a dozen nobles, all asking to buy it.
Harder quickly asked the servants to bring all the glasses, and everyone bought them without even looking at them. With the rush to buy, everyone couldn't help but move, even people without eye problems donated generously.
After all, there is no such thing as eye disease now. Who can guarantee that they will not have it in the future? Being prepared in advance can be considered as a precaution.
There was such a lively scene in the first transaction, and Harder's confidence doubled.
He quickly took out the second piece and said, "Masters, please take a look!"
"What is this?" Everyone's eyes widened.
A crystal clear glass bottle containing some liquid.
"This is the perfume from the mysterious East." Harder intoned in a cadence.
"Fragrant water? Can water also be fragrant?" Shaharul couldn't help but be curious.
Hader quickly bowed and said, "Your great Sultan, this is no ordinary water, it is more charming than spices."
"Is it really better than spices?" Shaharu didn't believe it. In his opinion, spices were gifts given by God to mortals, and it was impossible for anything to surpass them.
Harder didn't explain, and just twisted it hard to open the bottle.
But in just a few breaths, a strange aroma suddenly lingered on everyone's noses.
"Hiss~"
"This is too exaggerated. He just opened the bottle..."
Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Hader suddenly raised his proud head and said, "This fragrance is not only very wonderful, but it can be applied to the body and clothes and can keep the fragrance for a whole day."
Can it be applied to the body? This is more useful than spices!
Timur people generally have a strong body odor, so their obsession with spices is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even for these nobles and ministers, the clothes they wear every day must be smoked with spices.
Even if you don't smoke for a day, you will be ridiculed by others.
Shaharul couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly and walked to Ha
In front of virtue.
He took the glass bottle over unceremoniously and asked excitedly: "How do you use this perfume?"
Hader stretched out his hand and gestured, "Press the mouth of the bottle with your finger, apply a little bit like this, and apply it on your neck or clothes."
Shaharul understood the idea and immediately followed it, smearing a little on his neck, and then quickly capped the bottle again.
After a while, everyone could no longer smell the fragrance, but everyone discovered that no matter where Shaharu went, he would carry a strange fragrance with him.
Can the fragrance be so strong and last so long? It seems that this person was not lying when he said it could last all day.
"How much of this perfume do you have? You can't just have this bottle, right?" Shaharul asked, looking into Hader's eyes.
Harder quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed more than one bottle of perfume, but it is not much."
"How many?" Shaharul asked anxiously.
Harder quickly asked someone to take out all the perfume, "Including the bottle in your Majesty's hand, there are ten bottles in total."
Shaharul quickly motioned to the guards to come forward and take it, and then asked with a faint smile: "Tell me, what do you want?"
"My great Majesty, I hope to get the Uzi sword." Hard made the request according to Han Du's plan.
Shaharul was slightly startled and asked in disbelief: "It's just the Uzi sword? Although the Uzi sword is good, it is far from comparable to your perfume. You can change your request."
In Shaharul's view, it was his kindness that was willing to give Hader another chance.
Hader said firmly: "Your kind Majesty, if possible, I hope to get more."
Shaharul was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a slight smile: "Well, since you insist, I will promise you four thousand Uzi swords."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ten bottles of perfume were exchanged for four thousand Uzi swords. Even before the price of the Uzi sword has been pushed up, it is still a very high price.
"If you have any other treasures, please bring them out." Apparently Hader's performance made Shahalu very satisfied and made him impatient.
