"Sir, are we going too? How about I stay here and guard our car?"
This is the third time Xiao Luo has expressed her desire to stay in the small courtyard where they live.
You must know that she positions herself as Tang Ping's little maid or little cook. Although they are not from Dongyue, the person who is treating them is the Emperor of Dongyue after all. How can she go to the royal banquet and bring her own little maid? ?
"No, didn't I tell you? That day I entered the palace, but even the Emperor of Dongyue was shocked!" Tang Ping looked around and said softly in Xiaoluo's ear.
Xiao Luo really believed the key words. In her opinion, her own young master was the most capable in the world.
"Besides, let's go see what delicious food there is in East Vietnam. If I meet something I like, can't you learn to cook it for me?"
"Yeah, okay!" Xiao Luo was finally convinced. She still had confidence in her cooking skills. There were so many noble people in Chang'an, including prime ministers like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. How big of an official were they? Everyone said the food they cooked was delicious.
What the young master said makes sense. If he meets someone he likes to eat, he will learn to cook it for him.
"Okay! Let's go change clothes then!" Tang Ping touched the little girl's head: "You and Sister Luyi should both wear the same outfit I brought you last time!"
Didn't Tang Ping bring gifts for everyone when he came back this time? Among them, a set of Tang-style skirts was given to Xiaoluo and Luyi.
The main reason was that when he went to Chang'an, the beautifully made clothes were too expensive for Tang Ping, and Xiao Luo refused to let him spend money to buy them.
So he took pictures, and when he returned to modern times, he found someone to order a few sets. When he went back this time, they were just finished, so he brought them back.
Soon Xiaoluo and Luyi changed their clothes. Xiaoluo was in a light yellow dress, and Luyi was in an emerald green dress.
"Not bad, hehe, Lao Yao, isn't our little Luo pretty?" Tang Ping felt that entering the palace with Yao Yuanzhi that day was like living and dying together, so they were quite affectionate in their titles.
"Oh, I've always wanted to have a sister, just like Xiao Luo!" Tang Ping touched Xiao Luo's head and said happily.
"Master Tang, are you ready? When we are ready, we will set off." Master Liu from Honglu Temple came specifically to take Tang Ping and others into the palace today.
The relationship between Datang and East Vietnam can now be considered to be in the honeymoon period. Both countries get what they need, so Tang Ping, as the envoy of Datang, will naturally be taken seriously.
On the carriage to the Dongyue Palace, Mr. Liu asked: "Sir Tang, I wonder when we can confirm the specific content of the tung oil transaction?"
After they received the Fuchuan model given by Tang Ping yesterday, they summoned all the relevant craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and finally concluded that as long as there are twenty such warships, they can completely stabilize the East China Sea coastal defense.
If there can be fifty ships, then all the forces on the sea can be pressed against the sea.
East Vietnam has begun to mobilize resources to build two large shipyards on the eastern coast, so tung oil, one of the necessary materials, is very critical.
"Just go talk to Lao Yao about this matter."
When they left Chang'an, Fang and Du gave Tang Ping a base price. If the deal was negotiated, it would be fine as long as the exchange was higher than the base price.
However, in transactions between countries, if the unit price differs even by a centimeter, the final total price will be an astronomical figure.
Therefore, Dongyue will definitely take a hard bite on the price, and we don’t know how long it will take.
And Tang Ping never bargains when he buys things. If you ask him to come here to bargain with the old people from Honglu Temple in Dongyue Kingdom, he will really have a headache.
Fortunately, Tang Ping had learned about Yao Yuanzhi's ability in the past few days, so he decided to let him argue with the people of Dongyue Kingdom. Anyway, as long as the final transaction price exceeded Datang's reserve price.
"Then I will wait for Master Yao at Honglu Temple tomorrow!" Master Liu said to Yao Yuanzhi.
Yao Yuanzhi returned the gift, but his heart was filled with emotion. Tang Ping was the official envoy on this mission, but now that he has entrusted such an important transaction to his own hands, and if he wants to complete it beautifully, it will be a great achievement, and it will be a great achievement for the future. Promotion is very beneficial.
Fuyang City is not as big as Chang'an, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Dongyue Palace. After inspection, they were let in.
From here on, you can't ride in a car or ride a horse. Yesterday, Tang Ping was preoccupied with something, so he didn't take a good look at the Dongyue Palace, but now he looked at it with great interest.
Xiao Luo, Lao Cui, Lao Du, and even Li Bai were a little excited. Although it was not the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, it was still an imperial palace after all. This was their first time coming in.
"Master Tang, how does our Yongchang Palace compare with the Daxing Palace of the Tang Dynasty?" Master Liu asked with a proud face. Garden construction was already popular in Jiangnan.
In addition, after East Vietnam occupied this land of plenty and had the economic advantage of the eastern coast, the entire East Vietnam palace, Yongchang Palace, was indeed magnificent.
The current Tang Dynasty still uses the Daxing Palace of the former Sui Dynasty, which was later called the Taiji Palace.
This is also the Jingda Nei among the three palaces of the Tang Dynasty. The construction of the Daming Palace in the east has not yet started. Because it is different from history, it is not known whether there will be a Daming Palace.
There is also a palace in Nanda that was expanded from the residence of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty when he was the vassal king. It is called Xingqing Palace.
Li Longji wasn't even born yet, let alone Xingqing Palace.
"Hey, I haven't been to Daxing Palace yet, so I really don't know."
Tang Ping replied, but he didn't care in his heart. Although the place is exquisitely built, it still lacks some grandeur or domineeringness as a royal palace.
Not to mention the Forbidden City that he visited during his trip to the capital, it was even inferior to the Daming Palace National Heritage Park that he visited during his spring outing in elementary school.
The interior of the Hall of Prayer for Heaven has been arranged, and it is divided into two parts from the middle aisle. On one side are Tang Ping and others, and on the other side are the officials of Honglu Temple of Dongyue Kingdom.
However, Tang Ping's mission this time has been completed, and he was not interested in making friends with the officials of Dongyue Honglu Temple, so after greeting them one by one, Tang Ping sat back in his seat.
Suddenly Tang Ping found a young man at the table opposite looking at him with an extremely unkind look.
"Old Yao, Old Yao!" He called Yao Yuanzhi twice, who was talking with officials from Dongyue Honglu Temple.
"Who is the young man opposite me?" When Mr. Liu introduced him just now, he went in one ear and out the other, not wanting to remember the names of these people at all.
In his mind, he would pay attention to the famous generals and ministers of the Tang Dynasty in history. There is a high probability that these people will never have the chance to meet in the future, so why bother to remember their names and positions?
Yao Yuanzhi replied without even looking: "I just heard the introduction that he was King Zheng of Dongyue Kingdom."
You must know that today Tang Ping, as the chief envoy of the Tang Dynasty, sits in the first position on this side of the aisle.
The first person across the aisle is the young man, which means that he is also the person with the highest status on the East Vietnam side tonight. It is not surprising to hear that he is the prince of East Vietnam.
But why does he look at me so unkindly? I have never offended him.
