Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Four years at St. Ann's.

May 15th.

Luo Hong personally led the Beiyuan delegation to the Valley City in Kyoto, South Vietnam. The Beiyuan King of the Beiyuan Dynasty personally visited. In accordance with diplomatic etiquette, the Vietnamese Emperor Murong Zhengming sent a group of civil and military ministers headed by Zhongshu Ling Gao Yanqing out of the city to greet him.

"Hahaha……"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, has personally led a delegation to visit the Kingdom of Yue. It has been a tiring journey all the way. Your Majesty, please get in the carriage. Let's go to the Embassy to rest first."

Luo Hong quickly returned the gift, "Zhongshu Ling went out of the city to greet him in person. Jin Hong was honored."

After the two sides met politely, Luo Hong and Gao Yanqing got into a luxurious four-wheeled carriage together, and then the motorcade began to enter the city and drove directly towards the embassy.

Xinghe Street.

The mission's motorcade was walking majestically on the street, and soon the news of Luo Hong's visit to South Vietnam spread throughout the entire River Valley City. People in the city were talking about it, speculating on the purpose of Luo Hong's trip.

Yuzhuxuan.

Two middle-aged men in official uniforms were drinking tea and playing chess. At this moment, the motorcade of the Beiyuan Mission passed downstairs.

"Brother Chen, Yuan and Yan are currently at war. The Yuan Kingdom sent an envoy to our country at this time. What do you think?"

Chen Zheng smiled, "Haha! Of course I'm just sitting and watching! Do you still want me to go downstairs to greet the Yuan Dynasty envoy? Besides, I'm just a sixth-grade Sesame Officer. I'm afraid Gong is not qualified yet." Represent the imperial court to welcome foreign envoys."

Liu Zong shook his head helplessly, "Okay, haven't you just not been promoted in seven years? Complain to me, a person who hasn't been promoted in ten years, you have chosen the wrong person!"

Chen Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Brother Liu, our court has been following the Central Plains imperial examination to select scholars for more than a hundred years, but how many scholars are there in the court today?"

"I really envy the scholars of Yan State. Most of the officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court came up through the examination, and the rest were promoted step by step through military merit."

"The sage Lin Feng was granted the title of Marquis at the age of eighteen and became a third-rank official in the imperial court at the age of nineteen. If he had been born in the Yue Kingdom, I am afraid he would have been like me."

"Brother Chen, I advise you to speak less of these complaints in the future. Be careful that walls have ears. If someone from the Fengyu Tower hears it, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Speaking of Feng Yu Tai, Chen Zheng nodded with fear on his face, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for reminding me. I couldn't hold it back just now, and I won't do it again in the future."

Liu Zong nodded, "Brother Chen, let's get back to business and tell us what you think of the Beiyuan Mission!"

"Brother Liu, the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Sheng Kingdom have occupied the sixteen northern states of Yan State, and are now fighting with the Yan army in Qingzhou. I feel that the Northern Yuan Dynasty sent envoys to my country at this time just to persuade His Majesty to send troops to Yan State. country to contain Yan’s military power in the south.”

"Jin Hong will definitely promise your Majesty many benefits when he goes to Vietnam as an envoy. Brother Liu, do you think your Majesty will agree to send troops to Yan State?"

Liu Zong shook his head, "No matter what conditions Beiyuan offers, I personally think it is unlikely that His Majesty will send troops."

"Why? Tell me your reasons."

"First, the military strength of our country of Yue is very different from that of the country of Yan. If it were not for the natural danger of the Nanjiang River on the border of Yue and Yan, Yan State would have probably sent troops south to attack our country of Yue at the beginning of the dynasty."

"Second, although there have been frictions between Yue and Yan in recent years, the relationship between the two countries has always been good. It is impossible for Your Majesty to offend the powerful Yan State for some petty gains."

"Third, even if His Majesty is persuaded by Jin Hong, the civil and military officials will not agree, because once the war between Yue and Yan begins, their interests will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Chen Zheng looked at Liu Zong with a puzzled expression, "Significant loss? What does Brother Liu mean by this?"

"Brother Chen doesn't know something. Our industry in Dai Viet is very backward. Almost all the good things sold on the market are produced by Yan State. The owners of those chambers of commerce that travel between Yan and Yue are the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China. Once If the two countries go to war, Yan Guo will definitely interrupt the supply, and the losses will be too great."

"Brother Liu, Lin Feng was forced to hand over all his advanced technologies for Lu Qiuya, and soon after that Yan Guo announced all their advanced technologies to the world through Fengyang Daily. Is it possible that we can't make anything even if we have the technology? "

"Brother Chen's idea is too simple. If you want to make things, it's not enough to have skills. You have to have skilled workers who can make things."

"For example, if you are building a four-wheeled carriage, even if you have detailed drawings of the four-wheeled carriage, do you have to make so many components of the four-wheeled carriage first?"

"Our industry in Dai Viet is very backward. Even if we manage to make a four-wheeled carriage, the cost is horribly high, and we simply cannot compete with the four-wheeled carriage produced by Yan Guo."

"In a word, for a long time in the future, my country, Yue, will be unable to live without Yan's products."

Chen Zheng nodded thoughtfully, "I see. It seems that we, Da Yue, still have a long way to go before we can catch up with Yan Guo!"

"Yes! Yan Guo is a big country in the Central Plains, and there are many aspects worth learning from us." Liu Zongdao.

……

Similar conversations took place in the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants of River Valley City. The sudden visit of the Beiyuan delegation made the peaceful River Valley City suddenly become lively.

The Embassy, ​​located on Tianhe Street in River Valley City, is a hotel specially used by the State of Vietnam to receive foreign envoys.

Two-quarters of an hour later, the Beiyuan Mission's motorcade arrived at the Embassy. As soon as Luo Hong and Gao Yanqing stepped out of the carriage, they saw a young man in his thirties wearing imperial robes standing at the door of the Embassy.

Gao Yanqing and the accompanying civil and military officials immediately stepped forward to salute, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Luo Hong saw this, he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Foreign Minister Jin Hong pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yue Kingdom. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally greets you. Foreign Minister is not very honored!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite. My dear friends, please excuse yourself. I will hold a banquet at the Ambassador's Hall to welcome your Majesty. Please come in."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Luo Hong was overjoyed that the Crown Prince of Yue personally came out to greet them, which was enough to show that the Emperor of Yue valued the Beiyuan mission and was more confident in completing the tasks assigned to him by Emperor Jin Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty.

Next, Prince Murong Haotian of the Yue Kingdom and Zhongshu Ling Gao Yanqing warmly received the Beiyuan delegation headed by Luo Hong on behalf of the Yue Kingdom.

At the banquet, all kinds of wine and delicacies with Yue characteristics were served, and dances with Yue style were performed in turn. Both parties drank and talked happily, and the whole embassy was filled with joy.

Half an hour later, the reception banquet ended successfully in a lively atmosphere. Luo Hong personally sent Murong Haotian and Gao Yanqing out of the embassy, ​​and then went directly back to his room to rest.

According to the rules, the Yue Emperor Murong Zhengming would meet with the delegation on the second day after the Beiyuan delegation arrived in River Valley City, so Luo Hong went to bed early after getting drunk.
