After showing it off, the guard took the things and put them aside.
Then Chang Lin took a deep breath and said: "A set of thin and exquisite porcelain bowls."
This time it was carried up by two people. Everyone knew about porcelain, but they had never heard of this thin and exquisite porcelain. When this set of porcelain bowls, which would cost a set of several thousand yuan in later generations, was placed on the table and opened, everyone was still confused. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
It is completely white jade-like. It is obviously ceramic, but it feels like jade. The entire porcelain bowl is extremely thin and exquisitely clear. On the outside of the porcelain bowl, there are peonies composed of slightly whiter stripes. The whole thing looks like It’s just one color, but you can tell it’s expensive at first glance.
Li Shimin: "..." Do you know that your father doesn't even have one? ! But since he was preparing it for his sister, forget it.
"A set of enamel natural ceramic vases."
This is a set of vases with so-called light and luxurious enamel craftsmanship from later generations. In fact, this set is made of highly transparent glass craftsmanship and has nothing to do with ceramics. When it was carried in by the guards.
WOW~ ⊙O⊙
Everyone looked like this. If the set of white porcelain bowls just now was still within their understanding, this set of porcelain was beyond their comprehension. First of all, its surface was not of ceramic nature, and the crystal was transparent. It is made of light glass, so the surface is crystal clear and reflective, and its color is alternately dark blue and black, just like looking down at hills and ravines from a high altitude.
There are small golden dots in the middle, and on the outside of the bottle, there are raised flowers and leaves composed of dark green and white yellow. They are raised on the bottle and inlaid on it.
Everyone who saw a set of four large porcelains was extremely speechless. How many skilled craftsmen did His Highness King Qin have? How did you burn all this? Take this thing out... it will cost astronomically! Because even His Majesty doesn’t have one!
"A set of white jade carved porcelain vases with lark playing in the water."
Two more half-person tall white porcelain bottles were brought in. They were all made of jade-like white porcelain, but what shocked everyone was that there were a pair of larks and green, pink, purple and other colors on the bottle. Wisteria, this thing really makes them a little numb.
Especially how did you get the pink, yellow, and green colors on this porcelain? The entire pattern is extremely delicate. What's more important is that there are two lines of poems written on its bottle: In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth, I wish to be a branch.
This... was obviously written by His Highness King Qin himself for His Highness Changle. Although there is only one sentence, it already shows His Highness King Qin's good expectations for His Highness Changle's future married life.
Hey, this is a set of ceramics using the later Jingdezhen half-knife clay carving technique. If it weren't for the poem from "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", Li Ke wouldn't have taken it out.
If these two poems are read separately, the meaning is quite good.
Next came several sets of porcelain, all of which they had never heard of. All the ministers were dumbfounded, but everyone's expressions were a little weird when they were shocked. These things... are not easy to price... but they are definitely in the Tang Dynasty. It’s a sky-high price. Can the Changsun family afford it?
After porcelain comes silk. All of these silks are high-end silks produced in Youjian Shopping Mall. To be honest, the Changsun family can get these silks. It just takes time. But these silks that Li Ke took out... just a few The embroiderer never fails to embroider a set in a year.
Li Ke prepared more than twenty sets, and then Li Ke prepared thirty pieces each of various high-end silks.
After these daily necessities are prepared, the big deal comes.
"King Jiang of Xuannu Qiang Kingdom goes to King Hu to go to the palace." When Chang Lin read out the latest sentence.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, huh? What's this? What does this have to do with dowry? Even Li Shimin looked confused.
Then they saw a man in his thirties or forties walking into the hall, holding a document similar to a memorial in his hand.
"My former King Jiang Quhu of the Nuoqiang Kingdom met with His Majesty the Emperor Tiankhan of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that His Highness Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty had reached the age of leaving the cabinet. I was deeply moved by the favor of His Highness the King of Qin, but His Highness the King of Qin refused. I would like to give you any gift. Therefore, on the occasion of Your Highness Princess Changle leaving the cabinet, I would like to donate a total of 370 million acres of land of the Nuoqiang Kingdom and the entire country of the Nuoqiang Kingdom to Your Highness Changle as a dowry. I also hope for your majesty’s permission. This is my credential. ." Jiang Quhu directly handed over the credentials in his hand.
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Wei Zheng: "..."
Li Jing: "..."
Cheng Yaojin: "..."
Yuchi Jingde: "..."
Hou Junji: "..."
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Chengqian, Li Tai: "..."
I'm... I'm not going to play anymore... Changsun Wuji is all stupid now! What is this? Are you fucking telling me this is a dowry? !
Li Ke smiled. As for the 370 million acres of land in Jiang Quhu's mouth, although most of it is the Gobi Desert and yellow sand, it is still land! Li Ke hasn't gone so far as to include the entire Taklimakan Desert, although no one wants that thing.
Everyone was a little stunned. The main thing was... it was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone was shocked by the previous things, but that was just a shock. After all, there was a mall that sold super expensive things. Everyone I am somewhat mentally prepared.
But Li Ke... is having too much fun. He directly uses a country as a dowry. Don't worry about whether it is a small country. If you have the ability, can you come to one? Who can survive this?
Li Jinghou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and other generals were even more speechless. Our feelings were fought from life to death. It is not as good as the dowry you gave to your sister, your highness, right? Although it is a small country, it is not easy for Datang to win over a small country.
It turned out that you were lucky enough to give your sister a dowry directly. What else could they say? All I can say is...His Royal Highness King Qin is awesome!
Among these people, Chang Lin was probably the calmest. He first silently took the credentials handed over by Jiang Quhu, then turned around and walked to Li Shimin and presented them to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took the letter of credence and saw that it was a standard letter of credence, with all the above procedures in place. That is to say, starting from today, Jiang Quhu voluntarily became a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and merged the entire Nuoqiang Kingdom into the Tang Dynasty, and the Nuoqiang Kingdom became the territory of the Tang Dynasty from today on.
After delivering his credentials, Jiang Quhu stood up and turned around to leave like the others.
"More, the special envoy of the king of Xuanqie Dynasty, comes to the palace!" Chang Lin said again.
Again? Everyone was dumbfounded. It didn’t matter that there was a Nuoqiang country, but now there is a Qiemo country? This... How many things did Li Ke get back from going to the Western Regions? That’s outrageous…
"I have met with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan... On behalf of the King of Qiemo Kingdom, I announced that starting from today, all trade taxes between the Qiemo Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty caravans will be donated to Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."
The envoy still had his credentials in his hand.
Everyone is numb, all the taxes on trade with the Tang Dynasty caravans? There is no time limit here, that is to say... the cumulative number of years is an astronomical number. At this moment, many ministers began to think crazy and wildly. At this rate, it is absolutely impossible for Changsun Sikong to come up with more than this. Dowry, then does my son have any chance? !
Your Majesty’s daughter will always get married!
At this moment, Chang Lin has already begun to read out the last item: "His Royal Highness King Qin has prepared another 280 stones of gold for the dowry of His Highness Princess Changle."
Everyone thought they heard it wrong. The unit of gold uses stone?
Following Chang Lin's words, the last group of people outside the hall had already walked in, and the small boxes they carried were placed on the ground one by one. These boxes were not large in size, mainly because it was impossible to put too many in one box.
After carrying dozens of boxes, all of them were opened, and a golden light instantly blinded everyone's eyes.
Looking at the crazy amount of gold, all the ministers had weird expressions. Did His Highness even bother to use copper coins?
The Tang Dynasty is not without gold, but no one has ever seen so much gold at one time!
280 stones of gold... A minister with better numeracy skills converted it. This is... 5.37 million gold? ! ! ! ! ! Everyone was dumbfounded. Isn’t this half of the treasury? !
"This is the dowry I prepared, eldest son Sikong, please." Li Ke smiled and stretched out a hand to make a gesture of invitation.
