When Qin Yuanhao heard this data, he was shocked. He didn't expect that the cattle and sheep production on the grassland would be so abundant.
Just now he just thought that it would be great if the breeds of cattle and sheep in Daqin could be improved.
And now.
Qin Yuanhao stretched out his hand and interrupted the Minister of Revenue who was about to continue speaking.
"That's not necessary."
"They naturally bring us the best things on the grassland. I believe these cattle and sheep must have their own characteristics."
The two envoys were already feeling irritated after listening to what the ministers had to say.
Unexpectedly, before they could refute, the Emperor of Qin had already spoken.
And what he said really touched their hearts.
They have not been able to withstand any war in recent years, and now they can only bring the best things on the grassland to Daqin, hoping to be protected by Daqin.
As for the neighboring countries, they have already sent them.
It’s a pity that they were sent back the same way they came, and no country was willing to trade with them.
The two men immediately stood up with their hands washed, folded their arms across their chests, and performed the barbarian royal etiquette to Emperor Qin Yuanhao.
General Yang was a little surprised when he saw this.
Among the barbarians, only the royal family and those who are highly recognized are worthy of such etiquette.
He was fortunate enough to experience it once, and he will never forget it.
"Your Majesty, I never expected you to be so wise."
"The cattle and sheep we just brought here are the best breeders on our grassland. Not only are their meat delicious, but they are also large and plump."
"But we are here this time, as Your Majesty said, to discuss a deal."
The two envoys admired Qin Yuanhao from the bottom of their hearts.
The officials standing by all opened their eyes wide.
The barbarians actually came to trade cattle and sheep, not to pay tribute.
How did Your Majesty know?
Could it be that your majesty's power has already penetrated into the barbarians?
Let me see what they want to do?
They sent cattle and sheep to every country, but only our Great Qin was willing to cooperate with them.
Their original intention was to continue trading new warhorses developed by any country willing to engage in friendly exchanges with them.
[That warhorse has been developed and is being mass-bred. The horses of the grasslands are naturally tall and fast, but they are never sold.]
[Now they have bred a new batch of war horses. If our Great Qin's war horses were compared to them, I'm afraid they would look like foals.]
[This batch of war horses is also ten times faster than before.]
"Okay, as I expected, you are here to trade."
"And this deal is very pleasing to me."
Qin Yuanhao raised his wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and felt very satisfied.
[As long as the cattle and sheep trade is successful, the subsequent war horses will follow naturally, and by then, the military strength of the Qin Dynasty will be greatly enhanced.]
Barbarians are straightforward and don't like beating around the bush.
[Having the Emperor be direct during bargaining would have been much easier.]
[However, the Emperor had already anticipated that they were here to trade, so he must have been prepared.]
Qin Yuanhao smiled and took a sip of wine. His preparation was exactly the little princess in his arms.
"Since you two have come from afar, we at Great Qin are certainly not indifferent. The condiments and vegetables on the table today are part of the trade we at Great Qin would like to have with you."
All the officials were stunned.
Can condiments be traded?
The two messengers were extremely shocked.
They never expected that Daqin would actually trade vegetables with them.
Vegetables are so precious in winter.
Does Daqin have such a large amount of vegetables to trade with them?
And the Emperor of Qin just mentioned one of them?
Is there something else?
"No rush, let's eat and watch at the same time." Qin Yuanhao said with a smile.
"I believe that since you have come so far, the transaction between us will definitely not be limited to cattle and sheep."
The two messengers' hands suddenly froze.
"Your Majesty, you are truly too resourceful."
"Under your rule, the Great Qin will surely endure for thousands of years, unrivaled by any other nation."
Even the officials standing by looked at him sideways.
This sounds like there is something mysterious!
What did His Majesty say that the two envoys spoke so highly of him?
[The two envoys' friendship with the Emperor has skyrocketed. This is a great opportunity.]
Qin Zhenzhen had just finished her chatter when Zhou Mian came in with his men.
Behind him were baskets of fresh vegetables, now neatly placed in front of the two messengers.
“So many vegetables.”
Qin Yuanhao nodded and said with a smile: "I picked these specially this morning because the envoy came."
Upon hearing this, the two messengers suddenly stood up from their seats.
"Your Majesty, you said these were picked this morning, not taken out of the ice cellar."
They always thought that His Majesty the Great Qin prepared these things just for the sake of face.
Now you tell them it was picked this morning.
How is that possible?
Moreover, how much can we have? If we trade with them, I am afraid that even if we give up everything in the entire Qin Dynasty, it will not be able to meet the needs of their grasslands.
It seems that the Qin Emperor is still a bit vain and likes to show off his power.
[Barbarians always believe that seeing is believing, so I guess they are just half-believing.]
[Maybe he was still complaining about his father, the emperor, in his heart, trying to show off in front of them.]
Qin Yuanhao found it a little funny.
After all, the disbelief in the eyes of the two messengers was too obvious.
"Don't worry, I'll take you to pick fruits and vegetables tomorrow to experience it. Picking vegetables and fruits by yourself is a unique experience."
The eyes of the officials standing by were filled with shock. Some of them wanted to step forward and persuade them many times, but they did not dare to speak.
How can the secret of greenhouse cultivation be easily leaked to other countries?
Many people couldn't even hold their chopsticks steadily, and felt that His Majesty's behavior was becoming more and more absurd.
The two messengers felt a little guilty because of their previous suspicion.
"It just so happens that the two of you have entered the palace directly this time. In the next few days, you can stroll around our capital and experience the customs and culture of our Great Qin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Before leaving the palace, Emperor Qin Yuanhao specially asked someone to deliver those baskets of vegetables to the post station.
This moved the two envoys again.
*
Inside the Ducheng Posthouse.
The two envoys looked at each other. They were the few warriors among the barbarians who could speak the language of Daqin.
Today, the Qin Dynasty is so hospitable that it even trades precious vegetables.
"Let us quickly deliver the letter to His Majesty, using the warhorse we brought with us. It will be in His Majesty's hands tomorrow."
"Well, we can also give His Majesty the Qin Emperor an explanation for the time it took to go back and forth."
"Then the Great Qin accepted our deal. Do we still need to follow His Majesty's instructions and go to Qi?"
"Before we set out, His Majesty said that since Chu would not accept our deal, we should go to the enemy state of Qi to sell our war horses."
"That's fine, let's see how much Daqin can take."
The messenger who spoke was none other than Keta, the younger brother of the barbarian emperor, and naturally he was the more respected between the two.
"Let's change our clothes and go out and take a look."
