"Actually, we just want to sneak in and see what good things they bring when the foreigners are not around." Song Ming whispered, obviously Lu Siyu looked younger than them, but he was always in front of Lu Siyu. A little lack of courage.

"Sneak in, and then what?" Lu Siyu asked.

"After that, there is no more. We just heard that those foreigners brought a lot of novelty gadgets. We want to go and have a look, and come back after reading." Song Ming said quickly.

"What if you get caught?" Lu Siyu asked again, he felt it was necessary to clarify this matter.

"Um, we won't be caught. We have always been very careful in doing things. How could we be caught?" Song Ming quickly waved his hand, wanting to immediately veto the possibility Lu Siyu said.

"What if? If you are caught, do you want to find grandpa or uncle, or let uncle go to the emperor to solve it for you?" Lu Siyu asked back.

"This...you shouldn't be caught." Song Ming said in a softer voice than before, no longer confident.

However, Ying Han and Ye Xingshu had quietly stepped back a few steps, intending to stay away from the battlefield.

"And you two," Lu Siyu called to stop the two who were about to leave quietly, and looked up at them, "You are not too young, don't do things so capriciously, think about the possible consequences before doing anything. "

Ying Han and Ye Xingshu looked at each other, lowered their heads and whispered, "Got it."

"It doesn't matter if you know it, I know, and you will definitely take my words as a deaf ear, but you have to know that the identities of the people who came this time are not simple, let's not talk about the purpose of their coming thousands of miles away, the emperor's attitude we It’s not clear yet, you’re planning to make small moves, but have you ever thought about how your elders will behave if these foreigners happen to be honored as guests and you are caught?” Lu Siyu asked.

"We..." the three of them murmured without further words.

"I know you may have ten thousand ways to not get caught, but what if, what if you get caught secretly looking at the things of those foreigners, even if the emperor doesn't like these foreigners, this matter is publicized Come on, the emperor will lose face." Lu Siyu explained seriously.

In his opinion, these three people are from very good family conditions, so they are a bit spoiled. It's not that they have bad tempers, but they don't need to bear so much pressure relatively, so their dispositions are more like modern children. , Occasionally do things regardless of the consequences.

"We know we made a mistake, and we will never do it again," Song Ming quickly raised his hand, "But Si Yu, you are more and more like your cousin, and you always like to scold others with a straight face."

"Brother Zhuang scolding others with a straight face?" Lu Siyu raised his eyebrows, "I've never seen this before, isn't it because you always get into trouble that you are being scolded by Brother Zhuang?"

"Where is it, it's all trivial things, Si Yu, you don't know, my cousin is really fierce, but my aunt always said that my cousin was cute when he was young, why didn't I see it?" Song Ming tilted her head, as if talking to himself.

"Regardless of Brother Zhuang, the three of you remember, don't make trouble," Lu Siyu frowned, and then said, "No matter what these foreigners bring back, isn't it easy to see them as you? You want to learn how to behave in a sneaky way, have you memorized the Four Books and Five Classics? Have you mastered piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Still have time to think about these messy things?"

The power of Lu Siyu's words is no less powerful than the "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation".

The three of them trembled when they heard it.

"We still have something to do, so let's go first." Song Ming said quickly.

"Yes, yes, we still have something to do, let's go first." Ye Xingshu answered the words quickly and nodded immediately.

"Don't cause trouble." Lu Siyu frowned.

"Naturally, we will definitely not cause trouble."

The three of them said, and immediately turned to leave. When they finally left the courtyard, they were sure that Lu Siyu would never hear them, and then the three of them let out a long breath.

"It's too scary. When did he become so scary?" Ye Xingshu patted his chest, still a little shocked.

"It must be because I have been with Song Ming's cousin for a long time." Ying Han answered from the side.

"It's a pity that the good seedlings are destroyed like this." Song Ming shook his head, helplessly.

"Then shall we go to see things about foreigners?" Ye Xingshu asked.

"Don't look, didn't Si Yu say, let's go and see, what if we get caught, that's the case, our consequences will be very serious!" Song Ming said seriously.

"That's right. Si Yu is right. Even if we have ten thousand ways to escape, if one of them goes wrong and we get caught, wouldn't that be a disaster? What's more, we haven't escaped yet." I can think of [-] ways, so let’s forget about it.” Ying Han said seriously.

"No, why did the two of you change your mind so quickly? It seems like I was the only one who was going to peek at the things of foreigners before." Ye Xingshu said angrily.

"Then you still want to go?" Song Ming and Ying Han asked in unison.

"No, I might as well eat something delicious when I have time!" Ye Xingshu finished speaking, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

"It's as if you haven't changed your mind," the two followed behind, shoulders crossed.

"What do you think those foreigners will ask for? I heard that the things they brought seem to be good things?" Song Ming asked.

"Who knows, but no matter what it is, if they dare to raise the price, they will definitely let them come and go!" Ying Han said.

"That's right, it's just a few foreigners who really think they are great. We have bicycles, do they have them? Of course not, that is, in those barbaric lands, things from foreigners are popular. When we come here, what are you sure about?" No, what they brought must be some crap." Ye Xingshu said contemptuously, completely forgetting that they were curious about what the foreigners brought over.

"That's right, they are all broken things, we don't care about them!" Song Ming also said.

"presumptuous!!!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Calm your anger? It's just a few pieces of colored glaze, and you want a million taels of gold. Do you think I'm a fool?" The emperor pointed at a few foreigners and said, dissatisfied in his tone.

At this moment, the foreigner babbled a lot again, which seemed to be more respectful, but before he understood what he meant, no one responded, except for one person.

"Your Majesty, what they mean is that these pieces of colored glaze are given to the emperor. What they want to exchange is the method of making colored glaze. They say that they can make more beautiful colored glaze with their method." As one of the few people who can speak multiple languages , even after returning to the country, Yu Xia was still served with good food and drink, but he had no freedom like before on the boat.

"The method of making colored glaze, a million taels of gold, what does Xiang Zhuang think?" The emperor suddenly calmed down, looked at Xiang Zhuang, and asked Xiang Xiang for his opinion.

"I don't think so. One million taels of gold is just not worthwhile in exchange for the method of making colored glaze." Zhuang Xiang said, expressing his strong rejection.

"I also think it is impossible, Your Majesty, a million taels of gold is not a small amount, and colored glaze is just an ornament, so it is not worth exchanging so much gold." Another minister also said, also expressing his denial.

After that, a few more adults came out to express their refusal. Only a few of them felt that this was not good and did not want to offend the emperor, so they were somewhat ambiguous when they spoke, neither agreeing nor objecting. Attitude.

And these words, Yu Xia didn't translate a single word before he got a hint.

Those foreigners can only see and hear these people talking, but they can't understand what they are saying, even by looking at their expressions.

People who are officials in the court have learned how to control their expressions well. No matter they are good or bad, they can use one expression to deal with them. This is the so-called invisibility of emotions and anger, and it is also a must-learn course for officials.

"Song Jue, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Song Jue again.

The rest of the people also looked at Song Jue. After all, Song Jue is an imperial businessman, so he has more say in this matter.

"I think this matter is impossible. The matter of a million taels of gold is of great importance. Not to mention mere colored glaze, even if it is the best thing, I am afraid it is not worth the price, except for one thing." Song Jue said seriously.

"Oh? What is it?" The emperor asked curiously.

"Sweet potatoes, of course," Song Jue said with a smile, "Liu Li is just an external possession, no matter how beautiful it is, it is an external possession, but sweet potatoes are different. Since the planting of sweet potatoes, the lives of the people all over the country have improved a lot, and many ordinary people even praised the emperor for his wisdom." , It is precisely because of the presence of the emperor that they have a good life. As far as I know, buying sweet potatoes only cost 1000 taels of silver. unstable."

"What Master Song said is very true. A million taels of gold is no small matter. Please think twice, Your Majesty." On such an occasion, even though Song Jue has no official position, other people still call him an adult, which is also a respect for him. A kind of respect.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty." The rest of the adults came out one after another.

"Did I say I want to buy it? Are you all so restless?" The emperor frowned, and looked at Zhuang Jinhan again, "Jinhan, what do you think about this matter?"

"I think these people's appetites are too big." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile. He was sure that these people could not understand what they said, so he directly expressed his thoughts in front of the public. Anyway, he should understand Can understand.

"Oh? What does Jinhan think I'm going to do?" the emperor asked.

"I think you can get the Liuli Fangzi, but the price is a little higher." Zhuang Jinhan smiled. In fact, everyone knows that the price of a million taels of gold is not only a little higher, but a lot higher.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is really interested in Liuli Fangzi, but he didn't make a decision because the price was too high. After all, the emperor himself knows very well that even if he is interested, he must also consider the thoughts of the common people, so he I've been thinking of someone giving him a best-of-both answer, but each of these people will only make him think twice.

"Then... Jin Han thinks?" The emperor asked again.

"I thought I could let them hang out for a few more days. This matter is of great importance, so we naturally have to think about it in the long run." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile.

"Okay, then we will discuss this matter in a long-term way." The emperor said immediately.

Standing below, Yu Xia cautiously looked at the people present. He still couldn't calm down for a long time. Hearing the emperor's last words, he cautiously looked at Zhuang Jinhan: "A long-term plan?"

"Well, the price of glazed prescriptions is too high, so it should be discussed in the long term." Zhuang Jinhan nodded, which was also an explanation.

Yu Xia nodded quickly and passed the sentence to several foreigners.

The foreigners were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't understand what these people said, but they couldn't accept it after seeing so many things they said. But the business matter is not impossible to discuss.

They were about to say something, but someone asked them to leave, and they couldn't say what they wanted to say.
