Kangxi's face was expressionless, but he looked at Yinreng with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Yinreng raised his head, met Khan Ama's eyes, and nodded slightly to show that he would keep his sense of proportion.
Seeing that the crown prince understood, Kangxi smiled and said, "My Qing Dynasty is a great country compared to the surrounding countries. As a big country, it should have the tolerance and tolerance of a big country. I already know that the envoy does not mean disrespect, so naturally No more blame."
When the officials heard this, they all knelt down and praised: "My emperor is generous, and I respect you!"
"Everyone is in peace." Kangxi said with a smile.
Miles, who was still kneeling down, was still blue. He didn't know why these orientals all knelt down in unison, and he didn't understand why they all got up.He only thought about it, if he offended the monarch of this country today, he wondered if he would be able to leave tomorrow.
Seeing that he was still kneeling, Yinreng gave a look to the little eunuch standing beside him.The little eunuch was also obedient, and stepped forward to half-handle and half-pull Miles up from the ground.
Miles felt that his legs were still a little weak, but with the strength of the little eunuch, he got up from the ground.He looked at the handsome oriental man on the steps in astonishment, and asked tremblingly in English: "My lord, has the emperor of the Qing Dynasty forgiven my fault?"
Yinfeng stared at him and said, "You don't have to be afraid, my father has already forgiven you." Hearing what he said, Miles was completely relieved, thinking that his life was finally saved.
But before he could finish his breath, Yinfeng continued in English: "But according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, those who don't abide by the rules will be punished with death and live with other punishments. But we respect Yuandao Those who came to trade with the Qing Dynasty, for your hard work, my father ordered you to be expelled from the territory of the Qing Dynasty."
"What!" Miles was taken aback. If he was expelled from this country, wouldn't the things he did before come to nothing?It's nothing if he can't find out the details of the ancient eastern country, and he can't even do business. Even if he goes back, he will still be exiled by his own monarch.
He said anxiously: "I am very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for understanding our previous impoliteness, but please also believe that His Majesty the Emperor believes that we have indeed come to trade with the Qing Dynasty with the sincerity of the British monarch."
Seeing him climbing along the pole, Yinreng tried his best to suppress the ill intentions from his eyes, frowned slightly with pity in his tone, and said, "Sir, you have to know that not everything is as you hoped. As expected. You have lost my father's trust, how dare we trade with Britain again?"
"I once again apologize for my previous mistakes!" Myers's face became more anxious, "Please think about it carefully, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, we have brought enough sincerity." His only thought now is that he must not Just leave.
He hurried forward two steps: "To express my sincerity, I promise you on behalf of Britain that we will never bargain when we trade!"
Hearing what he said, Yinfeng almost burst out laughing.The elder brothers who are closest to him have even seen the look in his eyes that only profiteers have.
Yinfeng stared at Miles closely, and the coercion in his tone was undisguised: "My Qing Dynasty has never cooperated with countries that have no strength. If the British envoy really came here with sincerity, why don't you let us see what you said?" Say, what about the real strength?"
"Okay, okay." Miles touched his pocket, took out a dozen gold coins from it, held it in his hand, and said, "I don't have so many gold coins with me, but gold coins like this, I have brought many chests. I have also brought dozens of chests of silver coins, which I believe are enough proof of Britain."
Yinfeng stood taller than him, so he naturally saw the gold coin in Miles' hand.From his eyes, which is used to seeing good things, this foreigner's act of taking out gold directly is really petty.Even his teasing mood was affected.
However, the quality of these gold coins looked really good, so he didn't show too much disgust, but let the little eunuch come forward to verify it.
After getting a reply confirming that it was pure gold, Yinfeng ordered people to carry the thing.He had long ordered Yang Yanqiu to send all the things he brought to the palace, just to show foreigners directly today.
Mysle was in a disturbed mood, and his face became even more anxious.After the gold returned to Dao's hands, he was arranged to return to his seat.His gold was not taken over by the adults above, and now he didn't understand what he should do to facilitate this trade with the eastern country.
The journey from Yuqing Palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony was not short, and it took a while for the eunuchs to carry their things here.Yinfeng asked Kangxi again for instructions, and after getting permission, the singing and dancing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony sounded again.
Kangxi listened to it for a while, but didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.It was not until the music sounded that Yinfeng was signaled to come forward.
"Can you be sure?"
"Khan Ama, don't worry, my minister will not insult the Qing Dynasty."
Kangxi nodded, "Don't be rude, but don't let the Britons look down on me."
Yinfeng said to himself: "My son, please remember."
His Highness Taihe and the ministers were also whispering to each other.
Suo'etu approached Mingzhu, "It is said that the emperor gave the banquet, why do I see that His Royal Highness seems to have other preparations?"
Mingzhu glanced at Miles, who was far away from him, and said inexplicably: "It's not that there are other preparations, it's a long-planned plan."
"What?" Suo'etu was even more puzzled.
"You just sit and watch the show." Mingzhu stroked her beard.He looked up and stood beside the emperor, the heroic prince thought to himself: "In the past, I underestimated him."
A moment later, all the rituals, music, singing and dancing were over, and Yang Yanqiu's things were brought up, there were forty or fifty items, the poor ones, the medium ones, and the high-end ones, all of which were placed on a huge table.
Miles has been staring at it since he was lifted up from the things.Those fabrics were piled up like hills, and under the faint light of candles in the night, the delicate patterns shone with golden threads, which almost dazzled him.
The courtiers stopped discussing and began to watch quietly.Most of the ministers didn't understand why the prince suddenly gave people so many things. Could it be that it was given to the messenger to appease the other party?
Yinfeng asked someone to pass Miles forward, and he personally took Miles to look around.
Miles stood in front of him in a daze, without blinking his eyes.Listening to Yinfeng introduce these things to him one by one.Those with poor quality are fine, when he sees more gorgeous porcelain or jade, his eyes want to pop their eyeballs out of their sockets.
He wanted to reach out to touch those commodities, but he was afraid of being accused of being impolite again, so he had no choice but to resist the urge, staring hungrily at the dazzling array of beautiful things on the table with the eyes of a thief staring at treasures.
Yinfeng stopped in his tracks, and casually handed him an emerald ring, "This is the ring on the man's hand, do you want to try it?"
Miles quickly took it, put it on his thumb, and gestured a few times, becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.He hurriedly asked, "How much gold is this kind of treasure worth?"
Yinfeng smiled slightly, "Thirty."
Please note that a gold coin of pure gold has at least five or six grams, and thirty gold coins have at least 150 grams.Converted into silver, it would cost at least 30 taels.But in fact, the finger wrench that Yinreng took out was just the average quality of the goods that Yang Yanqiu brought out. It was already a scam when it was sold on the market for two taels of silver.
"It's so worth it!" Miles said excitedly, "The treasures of the Qing Dynasty are not only beautiful, but the price is also very fair!"
The smile on the corner of Yinrong's lips deepened, "There are better products than him here, I can explain them in detail for you."
"Please sell them all to us!" Miles' eyes lit up.We got a big deal, Master, if we bring all these things back to Britain and resell them, we will definitely make a lot of money.
The next half an hour will be a real good show of "profiteers catch people who are stupid and rich buyers, lions open their mouths and slaughter them fiercely".Whenever Miles asked about the price, Yinfeng would increase the price by ten or twenty times the original price of the item.Even a rough porcelain tea bowl was sold to Miles for five taels of silver under the name "it is an antique from the previous dynasty".
Miles kept buying and buying, until Yinfeng was thirsty and went to ask someone to serve tea, and then he had a chance for an intermission.After stopping to buy, buy, buy, he roughly calculated the amount in his mind, estimating that he would spend all the gold coins this time, and then hesitating whether he should stop with enough.
How to put it, the gold coins he brought are also the last gold coins of the master, if they are all spent, he will still be reprimanded when he returns.
Yinfeng just turned around at this time, and he saw through his mind at a glance.But he did not expose him, but took out the firecracker from his arms in a hurry, and said to Miles with a smile: "For the sake of your sincerity, I will give you a show alone, and I will treat it as a gift for these things." .”
As he spoke, he suddenly hit the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a flying bird landed on the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a daze.A little eunuch trotted over to pick up things.
Miles didn't realize what he was going to do at all, and only realized what happened after hearing the movement of the firecracker.He can't help shrinking his neck.This kind of noise reminded him of the scene at the gate of the city that day, and he was not afraid.
He looked at the firecracker in Yinreng's hand tremblingly, and said with a forced smile: "Is this also among the commodities that can be sold?"
Yinfeng blew the remaining smoke from the muzzle of the gun, played with the still warm revolver in his hand, and said with a smile: "As long as you can afford the price, this one can also be sold."
"My lord, don't scare me." Miles smiled even more forcefully, "I'll just buy the leftovers."
"That's good." Yinfeng didn't seem to see his fear at all, "This kind of thing is too dangerous, and it's easy to snatch it away."
Just at this time, the little eunuch offered the teacup.Miles took it tremblingly, his hand trembled so much that the teacup made a crisp sound when it was knocked.He took a sip of tea, wiped off the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, and said, "Then please continue to introduce me."
"It's easy to say." Yinfeng looked him up and down a few times, pretending to be puzzled, "Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Miles swallowed his tea, turned his head and continued to look at the table where the goods were piled up.
Yinfeng looked at him a few more times, and the ridicule in his eyes was even worse.It was he who asked someone to release the bird just now, in order to prevent the foreigner from retreating.
Although the courtiers were all watching the play, they were far away, and they couldn't understand English. They only knew that the crown prince chatted with the foreigner a lot, but they didn't know what they said, and their expressions became more and more confused.
Kangxi was also at a loss, especially after Yinreng let go of the firecracker.However, he believed that Yinfeng would handle it well, so he just waited for his son's reply.
On the other side, the brothers who could understand a little bit leaned forward one after another, trying to understand what their second brother was saying.Only the elder brother who didn't understand at all was asking the ninth elder brother, "Old Jiu, what are the prince and that foreigner talking about?"
Because he was busy with official duties of the warlord, he didn't attend Yinreng's English class for a day, so naturally he knew everything.
"It's deceiving people." Brother Nine's tone was firm, and there was a bit of schadenfreude.
"Is that so?" Eldest brother said in a delicate tone, "That foreigner is in great trouble."
"Isn't it?" the third elder brother beside him sighed.He hadn't seen the prince try to deceive others, and sometimes he missed it.
After everything was introduced, Miles decided to buy them all.There is no way, he now understands that if he doesn't buy this eastern monarch, he won't let him go.
Yinfeng began to report the situation to Kangxi.After he finished speaking, all the officials gasped.
Those clothes and the like, their wife in Yinfeng's family often talked about them, so they naturally knew the approximate price. There were clothes that were suitable for the status and slightly more expensive, and there were no less than a hundred taels per piece. The price of 300 taels is sky-high for an official whose salary is only a few dozen taels a month.
What they didn't expect was that such a person would buy it without hesitation. (If Miles knew what they were thinking, he would definitely be very angry. There is no hesitation in the master, the master was frightened by the firecracker in his hand, okay!)
Kangxi was also shocked. He didn't know that Yinreng had prepared these things. He thought that his son followed the principle of giving a sweet jujube for every slap.
But he wouldn't blame his son for being unfavorable. After all, it wasn't the first time his son had done such a good thing to fill the treasury.
Kangxi smiled and said a few polite words, and asked someone to prepare some rewards for Miles.But how to put it, the wool comes from the sheep.
Miles thanked him for the reward, thinking that he hadn't been frightened in vain all these times, and it was not a loss to give gifts after buying things.He bought everything, and he also participated in the banquet. He felt that he could probably resign.
When he was about to speak, Yinfeng took a step ahead and said, "Since you are here to trade on behalf of Britain, and now that the trade has been completed, we should sign a formal contract with you. The goods will not be returned or exchanged."
As he spoke, he asked someone to present two contracts.He wrote one in both Chinese and English early on.
Miles didn't quite understand this, so he just glanced at it and signed it.
Yinfeng knew that this might be a one-shot deal, but with this treaty in hand, the Qing Dynasty would become stronger in the future, so it could be used as a constraint on Britain.
After signing the contract, Miles thought for a while, and asked to see the king's army as an envoy. He also emphasized that they always respect the strong, and he hoped to tell his king what he saw today.
Miles felt that since the trade was completed, the eastern monarch would not refuse such a small request.If the monarch does not refuse, then his two tasks are considered completed.
This was very much to Kangxi's liking. He always liked to show the power of the royal family, so he ordered someone to pull out the imperial guards in the palace to show off.
Yinfeng has long been prepared.Even if the British envoy didn't ask, he would find a way to remind himself that Khan Ama pulled the Xiaoqi battalion out of Lianlian.So he ordered people to change the equipment of the guards early. The silver armor was equipped with a unified long-barreled firecracker, and there was also a sword. .
Miles was shocked by the astonishing neatness.He now knows that this country is not lucky, and it does have the strength to defeat Russia.
After the guards practiced and withdrew, Myers stepped forward without any urging and said: "The villain of the Qing Dynasty has seen clearly, and will tell our monarch truthfully when he returns. I hope that in the future, the Qing Dynasty in Britain will be able to Be the most solid partner."
Kangxi smiled proudly: "I have the same wish as the envoy."
Yinfeng heaved a sigh of relief, and finally his planning was not in vain.
The system in his mind followed suit: "His Royal Highness has completed one more task."
On the second day after the palace banquet, Miles was entertained by Bai Jin to play around the capital again. The two of them were present last night, so they naturally knew that Miles was cheated of a lot of money by the prince. They looked at Miles with sympathy.
But Miles didn't realize it.After staying in the capital for a few more days, he led his people on the road back home.
Yang Yanqiu's goods, as well as those of all other merchants, were sold out.Yang Yanqiu asked for an order to enter the palace to thank him, but Yinfeng didn't see him, because after sending the foreigners away, he began to think about how to persuade him to fight Dongying.
Yinreng raised his head, met Khan Ama's eyes, and nodded slightly to show that he would keep his sense of proportion.
Seeing that the crown prince understood, Kangxi smiled and said, "My Qing Dynasty is a great country compared to the surrounding countries. As a big country, it should have the tolerance and tolerance of a big country. I already know that the envoy does not mean disrespect, so naturally No more blame."
