Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 417 Exotics

Su Yizhao got up quickly and thanked her. Anyway, she is used to drinking coffee, which happens to refresh her mind and remind her of the previous days.

"What is this telescope?" The emperor looked at the items on the gift list and asked in doubt.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. It is said that a merchant from Bangladesh brought it back from Western countries."

The emperor was very interested in Western countries, so he ordered someone to bring the telescope up.

Su Yizhao looked over immediately, it was a copper monocular, the tube was very long, it didn't look as light as in the previous life.

"What is this?"

The emperor looked at it curiously, and then he suddenly thought of the kaleidoscope, so he immediately put it in front of his eyes.

Seeing this, he was very surprised.

"Why can I see things so clearly on the opposite side? It's obviously very far away, as if it's right in front of me."

"Your Majesty, that's why I call this telescope. But we don't understand their language, and we don't know what their name is. It's the name I gave myself."

Su Yizhao was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Shiquan to be right when he hit the right one.

"Your Majesty, if it is daytime and there is no shelter in front of you, you can see farther. I have seen it before. If you stretch the tube, people from a mile away can see clearly!"

Su Yizhao felt a bit exaggerated when he heard that. How skilled is this ancient telescope technology?
If you are a mile away, you may be able to see people, but you can only see portraits of people.

The emperor was very surprised and liked it very much.

Then came some ginseng, cloth, some gold and silver objects, and finally some glass objects.

"Could this be Liuli?" The emperor was very shocked, and picked up a glass teacup in front of him and looked at it again and again.

Su Yizhao looked up and saw a tall glass, which was obviously used for drinking in Western countries.

Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of Western objects in Bangladesh. It seems that their merchants often communicate with Western countries.

"Such clear glass? That's a treasure!" Some ministers immediately praised.

In fact, in Su Yizhao's opinion, the workmanship of this cup is not good, and the workmanship is a bit rough, but the others present have never seen it before, so they naturally find it strange.

Su Yizhao didn't dare to be interested in the rest. After all, she had seen those exquisitely crafted items in her previous life, and these were really nothing to her.

Finally, the horses brought from Liguo, a total of fifty horses, occupied a ship.

"These horses are carefully selected BMWs, and they are no worse than our hard-earned BMWs."

The dinner lasted until the beginning of Haishi, and the atmosphere was very lively. It could be seen that everyone had great enthusiasm for maritime trade.

Next, discuss the previous plan to see if there is any need for improvement.

"Your Majesty! I found that the Sun Country seems to have some hostility towards us. Although it looks enthusiastic on the surface, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, their country's special products are few, and the strength of the small country is weak. I can only exchange some gold and silver. came back."

Su Yizhao's heart moved. Even though history has changed, the Sun Kingdom still has hostility towards us.

It's just that this country is closer to her. When the emperor designated the country to have it, Su Yizhao couldn't object. After all, she had never been there, so she couldn't explain it clearly.

"Oh! Looks like the country has nothing to trade with."

The emperor looked at the gift list in his hand, and found that the gifts from the Sun Kingdom were only pottery and gold and silver objects, and he was not very interested.

"Although they are very interested in our things, if there is no barter, it will not be easy to trade merchants' merchant ships in the future."

Zhao Shiquan felt that it would be a waste of time for the merchants to go, and it would take more than half a year to wander at sea, and there would be danger of their lives. Isn't this a waste of time?

"So on the side of the Sun Kingdom, I didn't propose to trade with each other, and they didn't know our real purpose."

Before going, Su Yizhao reminded him to investigate first, and then put forward the idea of ​​mutual market.

The emperor nodded, "Then let the Sun Kingdom go!"

Next, we discussed the plan for going to sea next time. Although it is an official ship going to sea, there are still many countries in the west. How could the emperor let it go?

After all, from the perspective of the tribute being paid, Western things are very advanced.

Next time when the big ship is built, I will go to these two countries first, and then the ten ships will continue to travel to the western countries.

But at that time, these officials will have to change a batch, so that the courtiers can learn more.

Su Yizhao thinks that those western countries advocate freedom more, and the monarchy system is not so strong.

People who have gone to the West, will they have other ideas after returning?
Although this is developing in a good direction, after the emperor realizes this, he might close the country again.

Zhao Shiquan took officials to other countries, and made a lot of jokes because he didn't understand the language.In the end, even guessing and gestures, many things are not the original names.

Everyone talked and laughed, but they had their own plans in their hearts.

The goods returned from the voyage sold out quickly, but they were sold out in only half a month.

It has to be said that risking your life to barter is the most profitable.

Su Yizhao gave 50,000 taels of silver at that time, and unexpectedly got 25 taels.

Five times Li Lan, no wonder those merchants are red-eyed.

But this time it was an official ship going to sea, so those pirates did not dare to act rashly.When merchants go to sea, luck may not be so good.

Su Jinxun was very excited when he gave him 5000 taels from Su Jinxun.

"I didn't expect that Lilan, which opened a sea market, would be so big. It's no wonder that those merchants have to sharpen their heads and get on board."

Su Jinxun sighed very much, even he was tempted.

Su Yizhao smiled, "This is the first trip, and it does make more money. There may not be such a big profit in the future, unless there are new and novel things every time."

After leaving Su Jinxun's side, Su Yizhao went to the main courtyard.

"This is an imported product, and it is very clear according to the person, leaving a side for you."

Su Yizhao put the box of huanghuali on the table, and there was a mirror inside.

Taking advantage of her position, she left behind three mirrors, but only spent more than 100 taels of silver.

If it is sold to others, it cannot be bought without seven 80 taels of silver.

"It's the kind of mirror that can illuminate people very clearly? Your aunt bought one, and she was showing it off in front of me the other day!"

Tang was very surprised, the mirror was so expensive, she couldn't bear to buy it.

"You don't have to be too frugal. Isn't it worthwhile to earn money without spending money?"

Su Yizhao watched Li's mother touch the box, and planned to leave.

"Hey! How can this be so clearly seen, even the creases on the servant girl's face are clearly visible!"

Seeing his wife picking up the mirror to look at herself, Li's mother also poked her head to look. When she saw her face clearly appearing in the mirror, she was startled.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Su Yizhao chuckled, and then left the main room.
