Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

“Kingdom of Khmer Emissary meets Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Tang ~!”

“Kingdom of Funnan Emissary meets Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Tang ~!”

“Pyu City-State Emissary Meet Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Tang ~!”

As Li Xiaogong's voice fell, a group of people with different skin colors and costumes came down from the boat. They performed various kinds of etiquette and said respectfully to Li Er.

Some people use the language of their own country. Some people speak directly in a very blunt Chinese language. Li Xiaogong sees it and quickly assigns a middle aged scholar to help translate.

After Li Er listened to Long Yan Da Yue, as an emperor, there is no bad big joy, but each emperor's focus is different that's all.

"haha ~! Good~! What is Cui Minister?"

Cui Shanfu emerged from the Civil and Military Officials and vowed: "This old official is!"

“Bring the national Emissary to the Honglu Temple, there must be no scorn! After three days, I will call the envoys at the Imperial Court Great Assembly!”

In Tang Dynasty, Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples, the levy of the four levies, the feast of the tribute, the gift, the welcoming thing, and the murder of the country, the Zhongdu Temple, and the ban of the Daoji account. Long, make the price to see, identify the same, treat the guests with courtesy, give the building a name, give, banquet, or pretend to have the pre-sales, the translators under the jurisdiction of the translator Twenty, each knowing a different foreign language.

In general, Honglu Temple is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Foreign Affairs and adds the function of a translation bureau. Cui Shanfu is the Honglu Temple at this time.

An institution corresponding to Honglu Temple is called the Dianguan Department, but the functions of the two are substantially different. The Honglu Temple is the main foreigner, while the Dianke Department mainly deals with ethnic affairs.

"Chen is obeying ~!"

Cui Shanfu is not moving, but her heart is inwardly complained, because this time there are thirty-two countries of Emissary, the number is much, it can be regarded as a hundred years of rarely seen, so many Emissary from different countries, light It’s hard to communicate, let alone other, and the pressure on Cui Shangfu’s body is suddenly full.

Countries Emissary After Cui Shanfu left the dock and went to Cháng'ān, Li Er looked at the infinite ship on the river and turned back to instructed:

"Xiao Minister, Minister Yan, the two of you are coordinating the freight here. The food and goods on the Imperial Court's official ship are directly transported to Taicang, the goods on the folk merchant ship, you are statistics, the income is good, they pay the business tax. After that, let them start unloading! Pay attention to prevent some people from secretly deducting!"

When Fleet went south, the Imperial Court once said that all the merchant ships that went with the army had to pay 5% of the business tax based on the commerce and trade income, which can be understood as the protection fee, but it is the same as the 20,000 elite water army that Imperial Court dispatched. Compared to the luxury lineup, this protection fee is really cheap.

"This old official is the purpose of ~!"

Ministry of People High Official Xiao Yu, Ministry of Works High Official Yan Lide heard the name of Li Er, they quickly went forward and answered.

Li two points nodded, seeing that everything has been completed here, and immediately said to the ministers: "Back to the ~!"

His own mission, Court Eunuch, spread the command of Li Er, and the Civil and Military Officials came along with him. Li Er and Li Chaogong and the officials of the Chaoyang Hall were going back to the palace. Suddenly, he turned and looked at it. Li Zexuan, who is secretly playing soy sauce, said: "You also go back to the palace with you~!"

Li Zexuan was inexplicable and didn't know why "Lucky Goddess" suddenly fell on his head, making him unable to resist.

"Yes, Your Majesty ~!"

Since you can't resist, let's enjoy it. He just wants to hear about the whole country, the promotion of the public, and the trade in the south.

...........................

"Prince of Hejian, how come you for the benefits of this trip?"

After Li Er took the ministers back to the Taiji Temple, he sat at the top, looking at Li Xiaogong said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty ~!"

Li Xiaogong was prepared, he complied, and then took out a booklet and began to read:

"This time, the Imperial Court raised a total of 500 official ships. The minister used more than 3,000 silk and porcelain, and exchanged a total of 880,000 stone food, Gansong, Suhe, rest, turmeric, sputum. More, and Luo, clove, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, black agarwood, white brain incense, white peony, solo, Gansong, Sanchao and other spices a total of 170,000 jin, ivory 70 pair, tiger skin thousands, Nanyang There are countless specialties in various countries~! There are also Brass 50,000 jin, Silver thirty ten thousand taels ~!"

Quiet, as Li Xiaogong read out one by one, the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence!

8.8 million stone food, although this amount is a bit large, a little beyond everyone's estimate, but it can be attributed to the Small Countries of South East Asia rich in food, has not seen the gorgeous silk and porcelain of the Central Plains, but that ten 70,000 pounds of spice is what the hell ~? Are you a spice, is this weed or radish cabbage? Oh, this time the radish is not called radish, called Philippine (see "Book of Songs · Hurricane · Valley Wind" in the "Picking Philippine, no body"), cabbage is not called cabbage, screaming.

However, this kind of spice has always been a very precious existence in Great Tang. It is generally sold by two. Depending on the type, the price ranges from dozens of texts to several times. He has heard that someone can have it. Million pounds of spices ~? Li Xiaogong said that the 170,000 jin spice is too scary!

But this is not Li Xiaogong's lying, because some spices are on the islands of the South China Sea, and they are just like wild grasses. They are everywhere. The 20,000 water troops he brought, but many times The farmer of the grass.

As for Brass 50,000 jin and Silver 30 ten thousand taels, this is even more scary~! Now all the Great Tangs that have been mined in Great Tang are only twenty or thirty ten thousand taels, and Li Xiaogong has brought back ten ten thousand taels, and even more amazing is that they brought back 50,000 jin. Brass, many courtiers began to use weird eyes, looked towards Li Xiaogong, they would like to ask: "big brother, are you robbing a country?"

Nothing is not surprising to the courtiers. It is really too much difference between this pay and the harvest. According to Li Xiaogong, he only used more than 3,000 pieces of silk and porcelain for the change of things, but what brought it back? Light eight hundred and eighty thousand stone food, according to the current food price, can be worth more than 30,000, count 170,000 pounds of spices, thirty ten thousand taels Silver, 50,000 jin Brass ... Aiya, the amount of mother! Many ministers have a total in mind, and the whole person has even had difficulty breathing!

Profiteering! This is more than ten times the profits! It’s just a hundred times more profit for Tera! What else can there be more money in this world than this?
