Chapter 683: Can’t grow long
Although the Parthian envoy did not say anything specific, the people present were all men. Everyone knows what the Parthian envoy said.
After everyone fantasized about it, they heard the Parthian envoy continue: "The marble floor beside the swimming pool is very shiny, the walls are hung with exquisite tapestries and murals, and the floor is also covered with soft Persian carpets, which are worth thousands of gold. nice one.
Gorgeous chandeliers hang from the ceiling, emitting soft light, rendering the entire banquet hall warm and harmonious.
Maybe you have never seen colored glaze. Crystal clear colored glaze exudes a soft light under the candlelight. "
When Li Si and others heard this, they couldn't help scratching their heads. They really had this glass, and it was definitely better than the chandeliers of the Roman Empire.
Because this is technology from two thousand years later.
It's just that there is no need to put colored glaze in the west courtyard, and even the decoration is just average. Because this is a side courtyard, envoys from various countries think that Feng Mansion is not rich.
Feng Quji and others did not explain and asked the Parthian envoy to continue.
"There are dining tables of different lengths placed next to the swimming pool. These dining tables are either made of gold or marble, and there are countless dazzling foods on the tables.
In addition to the food from the Roman Empire, there are also foods from other countries, especially food from other countries, which would be worth a house in the Roman Empire.
As for fine wine, it was served in bronze vessels in the Qin Dynasty, but in the Roman Empire, it was served in gold and silver vessels.
It's just that this wine is not as delicious as Da Qin's wine. Da Qin's wine can still exude an alluring aroma even if it is served in the cheapest clay pot. "
The envoys from other countries nodded. Da Qin's wine was really delicious, especially the wine, which was even better than what they brewed. ap.
Many people have already decided to ask for the secret brewing recipe before going back. Even if they can't find out, they have to buy some.
Feng Quji and others suddenly became proud. Although the wine vessels were a little inferior and could not be compared with the gold and silver, the wine was definitely the best in Da Qin, and it was more than a little better.
The Parthian envoy said again: "The banquet included not only delicious food, but also music, dance, and gladiator performances, all of which added color to the banquet.
As for the host of the banquet, the emperor of the Roman Empire would invite officials and nobles to the banquet hall.
Each of them wore gorgeous clothes and precious jewelry. They toasted, talked and laughed with each other at the banquet.
The entire banquet was in a lively atmosphere with constant laughter and laughter.
The emperor will reward loyal officials on this occasion. This reward can make me and my descendants rich for a lifetime.
Because I was an envoy from the Parthian Kingdom, I attended the banquet, but I didn't dare to do anything too extreme, so I just watched and didn't speak during the whole process.
Unless the emperor of Rome talks to me.
However, such a banquet was held for five days. During these five days, everyone was enjoying themselves. When they were full and wanted to sleep, they went to bed. When they woke up, there were beauties taking care of everything, including taking care of their physiological needs.
The delicious food never stops. When the fruits were finished, servants immediately came to replenish them. When the sheep's heads became cold, they were immediately taken out and replaced with new mutton.
The same is true for other delicacies. As long as it is cold, no, it should be said that it is about to cool down, someone will replace the delicacies.
Wine and juice are never cut off. As long as you want to drink, you can drink it.
When you are tired of playing, just lie down in the banquet hall and sleep. You can boldly hug two beauties.
And the most interesting thing is that in the banquet hall, the nobles will bring their women, and they are the most beautiful women. The emperor will also bring the queen.
The entire banquet may cost a businessman ten years of wealth. "
"It's so ridiculous," Li Si said.
Gan Mao said in a deep voice: "It's not just ridiculous, it's simply extravagant. No matter how strong the Roman Empire was, it was only strong for a while. Compared with our Great Qin, they were simply not strong enough."
Not our opponent. "
The Parthian envoy said: "Master Gan is right, I also think that the Roman Empire was only strong for a while and will be destroyed sooner or later in the future.
Only by having a wise emperor, like the Parthian Kingdom and the Great Qin Dynasty, can one's country be forever strong. "
"That's good." Gan Mao said with a smile, "It seems that we are on the same path. Come, let me offer the envoy a glass of wine."
"I don't dare take it. I offer a toast to the Gan family." An An Guo had already picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Gan Mao's wine glass in the air, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Feng Quji said: "The Roman Empire was indeed rich, but their people must not be living well. Such a country will definitely perish in the future.
We have to be prepared for such a country, because they are a group of barbaric countries. Once they have no money, they will definitely try to rob other people's money.
Therefore, the countries closest to them are oppressed. Parthian envoys, have you ever encountered such a situation? "
"Not yet. They want to overthrow our Parthian Kingdom, but it is not that simple. Not to mention that our Parthian Kingdom has a vast territory and strong national power.
Let's just say that the military strength of the Parthian Kingdom can compete with the military strength of the Roman Empire, and we are not afraid of them at all.
However, we love peace and hope that the two countries can have commercial exchanges instead of fighting each other. "
"That's right." Feng Quji said, "We, Da Qin, are willing to conduct business and cultural exchanges with all countries."
"By the way." Li Si said, "We also want to know about the Mauryan Dynasty and the Persian Dynasty."
The Anxi messenger said: "Actually, the Maurya Dynasty is closer to the Qin Dynasty, but there are countless mountains between the Maurya Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, but the two countries are not connected."
"What about taking the sea route?" Li Si asked.
"Sea route?" the Parthian envoy asked with some confusion, "What is the sea?"
"Hasn't the Parthian envoy seen the sea?"
"No, we have rivers and rivers, but no sea."
"I see. It seems we have to explore the sea route ourselves." Li Si said helplessly.
The Parthian envoy said: "If you want to go to the Mauryan Dynasty, it is best to go from the Yuezhi Kingdom or the Parthian Kingdom. There are countless small countries in between.
Especially the Capricorn Kingdom, which ruled the Maurya Dynasty in the past, has now been driven out and has become a small country. But if you want to go to the Maurya Dynasty, you still have to go through them.
However, the Capricorn Kingdom will not let you enter the Mauryan Dynasty, so I do not recommend that you go to the Mauryan Dynasty. "
"Then can your Parthian envoys enter the Mauryan Dynasty?" Li Si asked.
"Of course. If Magadha does not allow us to enter the Maurya Dynasty, then we will go with our troops. I wonder if they can handle it?" the Parthian envoy said proudly.
