"No comparison, no comparison!"
After seeing the white fine salt sold on the streets of Xianyang City, King Donghu couldn't help but shook his head.
Things that their country regards as treasures are actually sold on the streets in Daqin. This shows how big the gap between the two countries is!
Several people's Adam's apples rolled and they swallowed saliva unconsciously!
"If you want to find His Majesty, leave quickly. Don't wait any longer!"
Seeing that they looked like they had never seen the world, the city guard curled his lips and urged.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After this reminder, the Donghu people recovered from the shock brought to them by Xiaoyan, nodded repeatedly, and took a few steps to follow.
"Your Majesty, look...!"
The subordinate held the newspaper and handed it to King Donghu. He said in shock: "Does the king know what material this is made of? It is so soft, light and thin, and the handwriting is clear?"
King Donghu took it and looked at it carefully, "It should be the paper rumored by the outside world, right?"
"Well, the paper should be correct!"
An old minister looked at it for a while and nodded, "It is said that the young master of Da Qin invented something called paper, which can be used to write instead of bamboo slips. This must be the one in front of you!"
Paper is already a common thing in Da Qin and cannot be more common!
Even the most ordinary people can afford it!
But paper is never sold to foreigners. Even though Donghu is not far from Daqin, he has never seen it!
Even the Xiongnu were destroyed by the Qin Dynasty before the paper gradually spread!
"This paper is really good, thin and smooth. Writing on it will be smooth!"
Dong Hu's subordinates did not hide their envy.
"yes!"
King Donghu also kept stroking the soft newspaper, as if caressing the woman's tender skin.
The city guard who was walking in front heard their muttering and turned around. He found that dozens of strong men were muttering around a newspaper with an incredible expression on their faces. Call me a country bumpkin!
"The train test went very smoothly, and it is expected to be officially opened in about ten days...!"
After the shock, the minister read the news above to King Donghu as he walked. When he read about the train, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Um! This should be it!
"Little brother, little brother, there are often strange calls for things in the city, but is this the train mentioned in the newspaper?"
King Donghu ran two steps with a smile on his face and went to the soldiers guarding the city to ask.
"That's right...!"
The soldier nodded, "This train was invented by our young master. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and carry thousands of people. It is in the testing stage. In a few days, we Xianyang people will be able to take the train to Yanmen County!"
"Hiss..."
After hearing his explanation, the Donghu people suddenly took a breath of cold air.
After they arrived in Daqin, they walked non-stop for more than half a month before arriving in Xianyang!
And the train can arrive in just one day?
"Okay, stop dawdling, let's go quickly!"
After the city guards explained, they urged him impatiently.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The Donghu people also saw his impatience and quickly quickened their pace.
Even if I saw something new, I didn’t say anything again!
It is estimated that even if they ask, the young soldier will not pay attention to them!
The situation in Loulan is similar. If you see anything new, you have to ask about it.
In the end, the city guards became impatient with the questions and shut up and stopped paying attention to them!
Half an hour later, the two teams arrived in front of the palace gate one after another. The task of the city defenders was considered completed, so they turned back immediately!
…
"Your Majesty, King Donghu and Queen Loulan each bring a team of people to visit!"
The soldiers came to the imperial study room to report.
"Oh? Donghu and Loulan?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, very confused.
One is in the east and the other is in the west. How come they came together?
"That's right!"
The soldiers bowed their hands in a salute.
"Do you know your purpose?"
Ying Zheng grimaced.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the two countries, they came to surrender!"
"surrender……?"
Ying Zheng twitched his lips slightly and waved his hand, "Go and inform all the princes and ministers to come to Qilin Hall immediately!"
When foreigners came to visit, Ying Zheng wanted to show off his great power, so he chose to meet them at the Qilin Palace.
"yes!"
The soldiers responded and quickly sent someone to inform them.
…
About half an hour later, all the princes and ministers hurried to Qilin Hall.
"Zhang Shangshu, Tongwu Marquis, Hiccup... you are usually the most valued by His Majesty, do you know what happened? Hiccup... why did you suddenly call us all back?"
A minister asked while hiccupping.
Apparently I was having lunch at home and suddenly received the message, so I chewed it twice in a hurry!
Normally, after the morning court, if there is no official business, they can move around freely.
It’s time to go home, it’s time to drink, no one can care!
But today, they were suddenly called back to the court, which really left them confused!
Zhang Han and Wang Bi looked at each other and laughed, "You really asked the right person!"
"We don't know either!"
"No……"
The minister flattened his mouth.
After working on it for a long time, I didn’t know it, so I was happy for nothing!
"You're asking this. We all went to the morning court together. It's not even two hours yet. Where can we get the news?"
Zhang Han glanced at him and said with a smile.
The minister shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow the flow of people and continue to the Qilin Hall.
No matter what he does, he can't run away, he can just leave!
When everyone entered the gate of Qilin Hall, Ying Zheng had already arrived and was sitting on the dragon throne with great dignity!
The ministers no longer dared to say anything, and obediently walked to their positions and stood still!
"King Xuandong Hu and King Loulan are here to see you!"
After everyone arrived, Jing Fu held his voice and shouted at the right time.
"King Donghu, King Loulan? It turns out they are people from a foreign country. This scared me!"
After hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine, why are they here?"
"Who knows!"
"King Hu of Xuandong and King Loulan have an audience...!"
There was also a little eunuch outside the door who continued to pass on messages, which was very ritualistic.
After a while, two teams of people dressed in exotic costumes quickly arrived at the main hall!
The difference from before was that all the sabers on their bodies had been confiscated, and their expressions were very cramped and nervous!
"See His Majesty Da Qin!"
The two teams awkwardly raised their hands and saluted Ying Zheng.
There is no way, since you are here to surrender, you must leave a good impression on Ying Zheng.
If you still use the etiquette of your own country, the matter will most likely not be negotiated!
"No gift!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two groups of people puffed up their chests and glanced at the entire hall unconsciously, and then their eyes showed shock unconsciously.
The entire hall is decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, and there are hundreds of ministers alone.
Holding white jade court boards, they were neatly lined up on both sides!
There is no way small countries like them can compare!
