Chapter 298 Win-Win
"It's still early. What Your Highness has learned is not even the basics." Wang Jian was also a little helpless.
Although Zhao Qingrui was not good at these things, he learned things very quickly, which made it both gratifying and painful for him to teach him.
Zhao Qingrui basically couldn't make use of the knowledge he had learned.
After some banter, Zhao Qingrui honestly started to learn these things.
If she really values culture over military affairs, something bad will definitely happen to the Qin Dynasty.
Two days later, at the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui also met the envoy of the Maurya Dynasty.
Looking at the group of people walking into the Qilin Hall, the officials all looked over at them.
As soon as these people entered Daqin, they were taken into custody by officers and soldiers. Since it involved diplomacy, they did not dare to contact these people easily. If anything went wrong, they would not be held responsible.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Qin." The envoy knelt down. Although he had long known that the crown prince of this powerful country was a woman, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
"No need to be so polite. You envoys have come from afar. Guests are welcome. Please take a seat." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daqin." The leader hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
The other officials also looked at his clothes with curiosity. The clothes they wore looked rougher than those of the Qin Dynasty, but the patterns on the clothes had a sense of mystery.
Their accents are also a bit strange.
These people came from countries other than the Xiongnu and Yuezhi tribes, and everyone was curious about them.
"Your Highness, the King of Maurya Kingdom is very interested in the specialties of Daqin, and asked us to express his greetings to His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin on his behalf." The leader nodded.
"I would like to thank King Sharishuka on behalf of my father." Zhao Qingrui smiled.
Zhao Qingrui's words made the envoys' eyes widen. How could the heir apparent of the Qin Dynasty know the king's name? How did she know that?
Several people's hearts were pounding. They had thought that it was unrealistic to try to trick Zhao Qingrui because she was so young.
Not only were these envoys surprised by Zhao Qingrui's words, but the officials in the court also stared at Zhao Qingrui with wide eyes.
Even Li Si and Feng Quji were secretly alarmed by Zhao Qingrui and were speculating about this matter in their hearts.
Could it be that the Black Ice Platform's intelligence network is so vast that it even has a clear understanding of the situation in a country thousands of miles away?
Fortunately, Dun Ruo is not in the court at the moment, otherwise he would definitely cry out for injustice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. However, I wonder how Your Highness knows the name of the king of my Maurya Kingdom?" The messenger smiled, as if asking a trivial matter.
"Of course we have our own way. The envoys want to come and trade with our Great Qin. Our Great Qin is not a stingy person. I have asked people to organize the tradable items during this period of time." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
The envoy's eyes darkened slightly as he didn't get the question he wanted to know. It would be terrifying if the people of Daqin knew most of the internal situation of the Peacock Kingdom.
There is no need to go back early and tell the king about this. We must be more vigilant against Daqin.
"I don't know what it is. Trade involves both countries, so we can't be careless."
"Of course, I have asked Brother Jianglu to prepare. Brother Jianglu, please tell them about the trade matters." Zhao Qingrui looked at Jianglu. This had been discussed long ago.
"I obey your command." Jiang Lu stood up and bowed.
"This trade is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. My Great Qin is also willing to make friends with the Maurya Kingdom. The things I am willing to give out are all treasures of my Great Qin. The first one is salt. I remember that the salt you envoys eat is still coarse salt. My Great Qin's salt-making technology is countless times better than your country's. I wonder if you are willing?" Jiang Lu asked someone to bring a small plate of refined salt.
When the envoys from the Peacock Kingdom saw the refined salt, their eyes flickered slightly. They naturally knew more about this thing after entering Daqin, and they really wanted such refined salt.
Looking at the expressions of these people, everyone present was a shrewd person.
"Your Highness, this is not possible. The output of refined salt is not high and cannot be used to trade with other countries." Li Si quickly stepped forward and said.
"I agree. Now that our Great Qin and the Xiongnu are at war, the consumption of salt is huge. We cannot use it for trade rashly." Feng Quji also quickly stood up.
There is no shortage of salt in Daqin. In fact, salt is continuously refined and circulated throughout Daqin.
"Your Highness, we are willing." After hesitating for a while, they really needed it.
"Refined salt is the very foundation of our Great Qin. We cannot trade too much of it..."
Zhao Qingrui sat at the top, watching Jiang Lu below talking skillfully with these people, exchanging a large number of items owned by the Qin Dynasty for various gems.
I have to say that these guys are very smart. They didn't take out the truly valuable things from their country, but only took some gems.
These things can be exchanged for more valuable treasures, which is a huge profit for them. Anyway, they have a lot of such gems and they are not worth much.
There are so many good things on the Qin side, and it is such a good deal to exchange them for these gems.
Although the two countries had only simple trade relations, it took two days of discussion to fully work out the matter.
The people of the Maurya Dynasty used dozens of carts of gems to exchange for the most popular cloth, refined salt, and paper in the Qin Dynasty. These things were all real good things.
Of course, he had heard about the high yield of grain in Daqin, and he also wanted to exchange it, but unfortunately these people in Daqin refused to agree.
But they were very satisfied to be able to exchange so many things.
