Just when Du He was selling tea in front of the king and nobles of Dashi with his eloquent words.

The caravan led by Fang Jun also came to the Kingdom of Champa.

"Master Fang, according to the map, this is the capital of the country. Many ships traveling from north to south like to dock here to replenish fresh water and food."

The person escorting Fang Jun this time was Xue Rengui. After the ship approached the dock, he followed Fang Jun.

Except for the ten soldiers who were brought off the ship, everyone else stayed on the ship.

Several people entered the capital.

In Fang Jun's opinion, the Champa Kingdom is not even comparable to places like Chang'an and Luoyang.

Even compared with some remote prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, it is far behind.

"Let's go and ask if there are high-yielding crops and various spices that the governor mentioned here!"

The main purpose of Xue Rengui and Fang Jun's visit this time was to look for the high-yielding crops and spices that Yang Fan mentioned.

You must know that high-yielding crops are the foundation of agriculture, and spices are scarce in the Tang Dynasty, and can sometimes be used as currency.

Of course you can't let go of such a valuable thing.

You know, Champa is very famous for its pepper, cinnamon and other spices.

In Chang'an City, noble families store pepper just like they store copper coins.

If you have dozens of kilograms of pepper in your house, it is like having dozens of gold ingots in your house.

In Chang'an City, a relatively ordinary small courtyard can be purchased for only a few hundred guan.

You can imagine the price of pepper, a proper luxury store of value.

Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Its value is so high that it definitely exceeds the imagination of future generations.

This is why Yang Fan specially sent Xue Rengui to escort Fang Jun and his party here.

Even in the warm Jiangnan, the weather has turned cooler in November, but Champa Kingdom is still shrouded in heat waves.

Xue Rengui and his party had just arrived at a market and saw several shops selling grain.

There are also many spice shops.

"Commander Xue, there are a lot of spices and grains in Champa, I don't know the price."

Nanyang multi-spice, but Fang Jun has no idea what kind of multi-spice it is.

Now he saw several shops selling spices, which gave him an illusion.

In particular, many retail spices are placed directly on the ground, which is almost like garbage. Could it be that spices are everywhere in Champa Kingdom?

"Haha, Mr. Fang, the Governor said that Champa is not only rich in spices, but also has high-yielding crops. That is the main purpose of our coming here."

"However, the Governor is really good at predicting things. Judging from the scene, there are a lot of spices and grains, so the price should not be expensive!"

Xue Rengui's most important purpose this time is not spices.

After all, it's Fang Jun's business to make deals.

"Let's first ask how to sell ginger spices and wait a while to find those crops. What does Commander Xue think?"

Xue Rengui nodded, followed Fang Jun with a few soldiers and turned around and entered the largest shop next to him.

As soon as he entered the shop, a shopkeeper came to Fang Jun and started croaking without knowing what he was saying.

"Mr. Fang, what is this shopkeeper asking us for?"

We were accompanied by a guide and translator, who naturally knew Champa dialect and started translating immediately.

"This is pepper and star anise, how do you sell it?"

Looking at the spices in the shop, Fang Jun found the best-selling spices in Datang and started to ask about the price.

Pepper and fennel are absolutely the best in stewed beef and mutton. Adding a little bit in it will have a very good effect on removing the fishy smell. They are the most popular in Datang.

However, because the price is very expensive, it is something only nobles can afford.

According to price calculation, a pound of pepper costs about ten dollars.

The price of fennel is not low either, costing seven to eight pounds per kilogram.

"Master Fang, he said that pepper costs two hundred cents per pound, and fennel only costs 100 cents..."

"However, he wants to barter!"

Maybe he recognized Fang Jun as a businessman from the Tang Dynasty, and the shopkeeper was also a smart man.

Propose bartering directly.

After all, things from the Tang Dynasty are considered luxuries here and are extremely scarce.

There were so many spices in his shop that they couldn't be sold for much money.

If he paid with money, he wouldn't make much.

If you can exchange it with something, it will be different.

The goods from Datang, no matter what they are, are 30 to 40% higher than the market price, which can definitely make him a fortune.

The shopkeeper had tasted the benefits before, so naturally he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

And of course Fang Jun was happy.

The goods he pulled out this time were mainly barter.

According to Yang Fan's words, the Champa Kingdom was very poor, and scarce items would be valuable only if they were exchanged for them.

Since the other party spoke first, Fang Jun naturally agreed.

"Okay, tea, silk, porcelain and colored glaze are all available..."

"Liuli? What products does Liuli make? Can you take a look?"

The shopkeeper looked at the translator curiously.

Be it tea or silk, although he couldn't afford it before, he had traded it.

But Liuli was a high-end thing, and he had never traded it before.

After all, it is too precious.

The most important thing is that he also wants to see what products are made of colored glaze?

"This is it!"

Fang Jun waved his hand to the guard on the side and took out a two-foot glass mirror from the bag.

He had already made preparations before coming, and naturally brought some of various commodities.

"The glazed mirror is so beautiful!"

When he saw the glass mirror he took out, the shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaimed.

This glass is also a bit too big.

The shopkeeper once heard that there were colored glazes in the palace, but they were only as big as a palm.

This glass mirror was more than two feet long, which shocked the shopkeeper.

What's more, a beam of sunlight happened to shine into the shop.

Under the reflection of the sun, the glass mirror emits a shining light, which makes the shopkeeper's eyes shine even more.

If those guards weren't so tall, the shopkeeper would have wanted to snatch them away.

After swallowing, the shopkeeper asked cautiously: "Dear guest, can you let me take a look?"

Looking at the other party's reaction and the surprised expression, I knew that the glass mirror was definitely a priceless thing here, and the other party wanted to get it.

Since the other person wants to see it, let him see it!

Although this thing was not valuable in Datang, it was different here.

So after the shopkeeper took it over, Fang Jun said in an awesome voice: "This glass mirror is made of natural colored glaze. It takes craftsmen ninety-nine and eighty-one days to make it. It belongs to the emperor and nobles of the Tang Dynasty and can only use it."

s things!"

Fang Jun's serious introduction made the glass mirror blow up to the sky. He almost didn't realize that it was used by a fairy!

Xue Rengui on the side almost dropped his eyes after hearing Fang Jun's words.

Aren’t glass mirrors ordinary and not ordinary?

Glass mirrors were sold for several hundred pieces in Chang'an at first.

But now this thing is much cheaper.

There was no way, after Yang Fan sold the craftsmanship, the price naturally dropped.

Although I have not personally experienced it, I heard that the manufacturing process of glass mirrors is not difficult.

Nine-nine and eighty-one days...
