Just as Amao was about to speak out, Descartes stopped him with a look, and stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture, indicating that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.
After a while, Taro Kishizumi knocked on the window again, raised his voice and asked: "Descartes-san, aren't you in the room?"
Not here.
Descarnato responded in his heart, but saw the window suddenly shaking.
The old window sills made a "squeaking" sound, which was particularly harsh. Descartes thought a lot about the servants who often walked around here, and was afraid that Taro Kishizumi would attract Daxing servants from Saiyi Hall again, and he would not want to cooperate with Taro Kishizumi at that time. , Zhou Qian will also hear the news and treat them as one, and may be more vigilant about the countries in the Western Regions, and their defense power will be greatly increased.
He could only walk to the window himself and push it open.
At a glance, he saw Taro Kishizaki standing in front of the window with a triumphant smile, and the guard beside him who looked the same short and wretched.
"Mr. Kishizumi, are you okay? I just woke up. When did you come?"
Descarnato yawned, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to be sleeping.
Taro Kishizumi was well aware of Descartes' pretentiousness, but at this time, he could only turn a blind eye and comfort himself: when he could rely on the power of the countries in the Western Regions, he could only turn a blind eye. , after taking over the Central Plains of Daxing, he will definitely train the strongest army and kill all these Beidi barbarians who look down upon others!
With this thought in his mind, Taro Kishizumi became more respectful towards Descartes's attitude, and he bent down and bowed.
"I'm extremely sorry for disturbing Descartes-san."
Straightening up, Taro Kishizaki showed a smile that he thought was sincere, but in Descartes's eyes, it was flattering and obscene.
Descartes felt that he couldn't bear to look directly at him. In order to prevent Taro Kishizaki from dragging him into the water again, he shouted outside the window and could only gesture to the inside of the room.
"It's not an interruption. I should be awake at the right time. Mr. Kishizumi came just in time. Stop standing outside the window and come in to talk."
"Hi hi!"
Taro Kishizaki, who successfully entered the house, had a triumphant smile on his face.
After Descartes led him to a chair and sat down, he observed the furnishings in the Xiyi Pavilion and couldn't help but sigh: "Descartes, your Xiyi Pavilion is much more luxurious than our Dongyi Pavilion. The furnishings in ours are simple. It has not been repaired for many years, and it hardly looks like a place where people live. As expected, the Xiyi people are more powerful, and this Daxing is used to seeing what others do."
Descartes put on a false smile and did not refute these words, but he knew in his heart that this damn guy was really telling lies with his eyes open.
Daxing is a country of etiquette, and the etiquette culture of the Eastern Yi countries originated from Daxing. Even the countries in the Western Regions are now following the example of Daxing in many aspects.
The gap between the Xiyi Pavilion and the Dongyi Pavilion is not big at all, but it is true that it is in disrepair. After all, the countries in the Dongyi Pavilion are more shameless than the countries in the Western Regions and often harass the Daxing border.
Once the army moves past, they will give in and surrender. They will pay tribute for two years and then continue to harass.
When Emperor Daxing was young, he often went to war on horseback. He often led troops to fight against Goguryeo and clean up the Japanese pirates along the coast. If he remembered correctly, the last time the Japanese came to pay tribute was more than ten years ago. There was no one in the Dongyi Pavilion every year. Come, the furnishings must be maintained at a very high level. No one would waste this money on entertaining these immature Dongyi envoys who cannot speak human language.
It’s much more affordable to buy a few more meat buns to feed your dogs than to let them enjoy them.
Taro Kishizaki originally thought that by slandering Daxingguo, Descarnado would think that the two countries had the same experience, so as to draw out the topic.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Descartes smiled like an old monk in meditation, and suddenly became cold.
"Amao, I'm thirsty. Go get me a pot of tea."
"Descartes-san, don't be in a hurry to drink tea just yet."
Taro Kishizumi was afraid that he had to serve tea to see the guests off. For him who finally knocked on the window and came in, if he was kicked out this time, he would have no chance next time.
In addition, his men said that the people from the Western Regions who came to participate in the competition had already set off, and they had already gathered manpower here, waiting for him to give orders along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then came to join in the fun.
"Mr. Kishizumi, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. It will be time to serve dinner later. It will probably be very troublesome for the Japanese country to let others see you, the Japanese country, sitting with us, Beidi, drinking tea."
Descarnato took the pot of tea handed over by Amao and motioned to Amao to put the two teacups away.
After he also poured a cup of tea for Kishizataro, Taro Kishizata, who had been worried about giving tea away, breathed a sigh of relief and thought that this was a hint from Descartes.
Hint him to treat each other as friends!
But in fact, Descartes did it deliberately. Not to mention hints, even if it is a written agreement, Beidi can trample it with iron hooves at any time. Whoever takes it seriously and believes it will be the loser from the beginning.
He just wanted to see what the Japanese could do and what they wanted to do. If it was beneficial to Beidi, he would agree to it. If it was not beneficial, it would not be impossible to just give the tea away.
Hasn’t the initiative always been in his hands?
Descartes played with the warm tea cup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Kishizumi has been thinking about it for so long and still hasn't decided how to speak?"
"No...no, I've already thought about it. I'm just worried that Descartes-san will reject my proposal."
Taro Kishizumi is still playing hard to get?
But Descartes didn't intend to accept the move at all. Instead, he picked up the lid of the tea cup, gently rinsed the tea leaves, took a sip, and let out a comfortable sigh.
"The taste of freshly picked tea in Daxing is different from that of tea shipped to Beidi after a long time. Mr. Kishimi, don't you think so?"
He has already opened up the topic. If Taro Kishizumi still doesn't understand, today's conversation will end here.
Japan was a small country, and Beidi had no intention of having a close relationship with it.
Seeing Descarnato holding the tea cup, Kishizumi was trembling. He did not dare to use moral kidnapping anymore. He first asked Descarnato to agree, and then talked about other things. He quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Daxingdi has great things to do." , rich in various resources, continuous output, especially outstanding people, and countless inventions made by various talented people throughout the ages. It is really enviable, but then I thought about it.
If we, the Japanese people, can live and work in peace and contentment in such an inland environment without worrying about livelihood and safety, then we Japanese people will definitely have enough energy to invent and create, and our lives will definitely be better than those of Daxing, Descartes-san, you What do you think? "
Descartes cannot judge whether the Japanese people would be better than the Daxing people in inventing and creating things to live their lives.
But Taro Kishizaki was indeed a bit clever in being able to find out that he was the person in charge among the envoys.
"In this competition, if the countries in the Western Regions win, they will ask Daxing to open up trade outside the customs and rent the land within the customs to us for planting, in order to promote friendship and mutual assistance between Daxing and the countries in the Western Regions. We in Beidi don't have the thoughts of the Japanese people. We want Jiu Occupy the magpie’s nest.”
Descartes took another sip of tea and spoke half-truths and half-false words.
But just talking about the scene was enough to make Taro Kishizaki excited.
He put his hands on the table, his face flushed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Descartes-san, we also want to participate in the competition. As long as our Japanese country wins, we will follow Beidi's example and use the coastal land for fishing and planting. By then, If the people of Daxing don’t welcome us, we can help each other and look at each other from the north to the south, separated by the river!”
