Alas, as the king of a country, when he opens his eyes every day, he just thinks about the people he raises. Do you have enough money to eat today
He is so difficult!
The emperor couldn't help but feel sorry for himself again.
Princess Zihua of the Xihua Kingdom said at this time: "Mr. Nalan, our emperor has carefully selected a bunch of high-quality raw jade stones to give to the King of Nalan, but those jade stones look like ordinary pieces on the surface. The ministers of our Xihua Kingdom are worried that some people in your country will think that the birthday gifts from our Xihua Kingdom are stones!"
The emperor smiled and waved his hand: "How could it be! Xihua Kingdom is famous for being rich in beautiful jade, especially Hotan jade! No matter how stupid we people in Nalan Kingdom are, we will never think that your country is giving us stones!"
Princess Zihua nodded: "Our emperor also said that the Nalan Kingdom is full of talented people. People can tell at a glance whether these rough jade stones are stones or jade. How can they regard them as stones!"
The emperor smiled: "Haha... The Lord of Xihua Kingdom is ridiculous. I know that the Lord of Xihua Kingdom will not really give me a stone!"
Even if you can't see it, you still know that Xihua Kingdom will not send stones, and the king of Xihua Kingdom is not a fool!
Wouldn't it offend someone to give a stone as a jade stone
The Xihua Kingdom is a subsidiary state of the Nalan Kingdom. Unless the two countries are at odds with each other, they will not do such a thing!
Just like the current relationship between various countries is low and undercurrent, but harmony is maintained on the surface!
Because even though the Beiming Kingdom really wants to defeat the four Central Plains countries, it is not confident that it can dominate the world now!
Zihua County smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Nalan for your trust in our Xihua Kingdom! But no one can guarantee whether this rough jade stone is jade or stone before it is opened! So I would like to ask the Manchao of Nalan Kingdom Civil and military officials, don’t any of you think what we are sending is stones?”
Nuan Nuan looked at her. Princess Zihua was always asking if anyone thought they were sending stones. She was deliberately guiding her.
Are you trying to lure an official out to gamble on stones
Nalan Jinnian looked at the pile of jade stones with no expression on his face.
Whether it was high-quality Hetian jade or not, it was better. He asked the imperial brother for it and gave it all to the little girl!
It seems a little bad to think so.
At most, when the time comes, carve a jade pendant and give it to the imperial brother as compensation!
All the civil and military officials in the court almost rolled their eyes.
Are they idiots
How could you think that Xihua Kingdom sent stones!
The Minister of Rites: "Princess Zihua is joking, how could she think it was a stone? Xihua is a country that understands etiquette!"
The implication is that if you give a stone, you don't understand etiquette.
Are you sorry, Xihuaguo
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance put on a tall hat and said: "I have never seen raw jade, but I also know that the King of Xihua will not joke with stones! Your country is rich in jade, and your vision is naturally vicious. Since the King of Xihua ordered people to be careful, Forget it, these rough stones must all be high-quality jade!"
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "These rough jade stones are different from ordinary stones at first glance! Although there are not many jade mines in Nalan Kingdom, there are still some people who know about stones! I can tell at a glance that they are rough jade stones!"
The Minister of Industry likes to play with stones, so he knows a little bit about it.
I would also go to Jade Street on weekdays and gamble on stones. I even tried to buy a high-quality jade stone at a low price. Although it was not big, I still made a lot of money.
Princess Zihua looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry and said with admiration: "This sir is really amazing. He can tell at a glance that these are raw jade stones. I guess you must have done a lot of research on raw jade stones! Nalan Kingdom is really full of talents. ah!"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said politely: "I play occasionally and I know a little bit, but I don't dare to call it powerful. On this gambling stone, there are many people in Nalan Kingdom who are better than me!"
At this time, Princess Zihua raised her hands and said to the emperor: "Mr. Nalan, Nalan is indeed a great country with a lot of talents! Our emperor said that there is a jade king among these jade stones. If anyone in Nalan can find it at a glance, If we come out, then our Xihua Kingdom will send another jade mountain to Nalan Kingdom! Why don’t we invite this lord to come up and recognize it?”
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "..."
Identify the Jade King among so many stones
Does Princess Zihua think too highly of him
The Minister of Industry felt a little regretful at this time. If he had known earlier, he would have stopped talking!
The provocation is coming! After hearing this, the officials of Nalan Kingdom couldn't help but straighten their backs and think of ways to deal with it.
A jade mountain
There is no free lunch in the world!
Xihua Kingdom's provocation has come, and everyone is waiting for her next step.
I want them to have a city in Nalan Kingdom!
It's just that although the Minister of the Ministry of Industry knows a little bit, and once bought a high-quality jade rough stone at a low price on the Jade Street, but choose the jade king among a pile of rough stones
Okay ah
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not believe in the Minister of Industry!
The emperor also knew that most of Xihua Kingdom was betting on stones this time. He thought they wanted a city, but he didn't expect that they wanted to produce thousands of kilograms of rice and wheat per acre!
Princess Zihua didn't wait for the emperor's reply, and looked at the Minister of Industry: "My lord, couldn't you recognize at a glance that these stones are jade rough stones? Why, do you dare to come up and identify them? If this lord recognizes them, Jade King, then our Xihua Kingdom will send another jade mine to Nalan Kingdom. If this gentleman loses, Nalan Kingdom will teach us Xihua Kingdom how to cultivate and grow rice and wheat with a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu. ? Even if you don’t recognize it, it doesn’t matter. It just gives us the breeding and planting methods of rice and wheat that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre in Xihua. It doesn’t cause any loss to Nalan! Lord Nalan, what do you think? Yes or no?"
Shangshu Hube almost rolled his eyes!
Whoever farted on her had nothing to lose!
The loss is huge!
And wouldn’t this cause trouble for Nalan Country
There are endless troubles!
You really have nothing to lose by farting!
The emperor smiled: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry cannot go up and make this bet with the princess. Not only the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but also other people, I cannot agree to the conditions stated by Princess Zihua!"
Princess Zihua smiled: "Nalan is a big country, doesn't anyone know how to recognize raw jade? Come to think of it, our monarch said that Nalan is full of talents, which is also a lie! There is not even a person who can gamble on stones. No? Tsk tsk, is this worthy of having an outstanding person in the city? And the gentleman just now was just bragging!"
"..."
Who is bragging
It almost pissed him off!
The secretary of the Ministry of Industry's adrenaline shot up!
All the civil and military officials in the court were furious after hearing this!
The people of Xihua are really barbaric, and they always speak in such an uncultured manner!
The emperor's smiling face remained: "Princess Zihua has misunderstood! We in Nalan Kingdom have no shortage of people to recognize this raw jade stone! It's just that the rice and wheat that produce thousands of jins per acre cannot be used for betting, because the wheat and rice that produce 1,000 jins per acre are not It’s from Nalan Kingdom! It belongs to Princess Hui’an!”
The eyes of all the civil and military officials of the court lit up!
The emperor is really too smart!
This is perfect!
