Does it make any difference whether these things are for the people or for whom?
Niu Jinda didn't understand the rationale behind this.
To be honest, Ma Zhou didn't really understand either.
But he got a booklet with a beautiful handwriting that was obviously written by a woman. Each link was written very clearly, and the changes in the other party and the actions used here were all explained in great detail.
Ma Zhou knew that this was His Highness the King of Qin’s plan.
But His Highness the King of Qin said that this was the strategy of the General Staff Department, so this strategy came from the General Staff Department.
The first step is to move these things with great fanfare.
After the local workers in the sugar cane plantations, rice fields, and sugar pressing mills finished work, they were all called to the shipwreck. Everyone was given a mille-feuille cake first. Li Yuanxing would definitely not comment on whether this thing was good or not. Anyway, it was the dregs of caramel sugar.
Add flour, cornmeal, oil, salt, and sugar.
This is Datang’s most original biscuit.
The most important thing is that it can be stored for a long time, so there are hundreds of barrels on board.
This emergency food was distributed to the indigenous residents of Malay Island as a snack or reward.
After receiving the cakes, the natives happily waited for orders on the beach.
"Let's move the wine first. There are a hundred jars of wine here. Although it is not enough for everyone here to drink once, it is the wish of His Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty." A petty official shouted, and then three translators translated into the local language.
In a language that people can understand, the translations of the three people have some differences in wording, but there is not much deviation in meaning.
"One thousand six hundred and thirty-nine sets of tableware, Tang Dynasty crystal tableware. Be careful when moving this, the crystal can break!"
What a concrete number.
After several translators finished shouting, the local people here began to whisper. For no other reason than because they were all born and raised here. Although this place has hundreds of thousands of acres of land, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
How big it is, how many households there are when the land is sold, the people probably have an idea of how big it is.
"To move, first there are 1,640 sets of wine glasses, each set has four glasses. Be sure to handle them with care."
The official over there shouted again.
There are a total of about 1,600 households here, which is exactly the same as the number of residents here.
The people were already a little restless, because those who rented or bought land in the Tang Dynasty often gave them things for various reasons such as rush work or other reasons.
"Be careful when moving 1,640 sets of tableware and porcelain."
"Move one thousand six hundred and forty bags of flour, be careful not to get water on it!"
Order after order, both men and women here were lining up and placing themselves carefully. However, Ma Zhou found a sergeant under Niu Jinda and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The sergeant quickly ran to the local governor here: "Please arrange the rewards for our King Qin!"
The words are very vague, whoever listens will understand.
The petty official quickly came over with his men. Seeing the people who were queuing up to move things, he immediately called the guards around him to pass with whips: "Poor guys, be careful. Pile them all on the east side of the yard.
Already."
Ma Zhou and Niu Jinda were watching from a distance, and Ma Zhou was flipping through the book.
"According to what is written in the booklet, the seeds of this conflict have been planted. We need an opportunity to stimulate the conflict. Why don't General Niu invite those translators to dinner and let them taste the real delicacies of the Tang Dynasty?" Ma.
Zhou Qu Niu Jinda said softly.
Niu Jinda didn't understand: "Where's the egg meal?"
"Oh, it's not just about eating. It's also about this, this, and this!" Ma Zhou whispered, and Niu Jinda just nodded.
"Is this enough?" Niu Jinda asked.
Ma Zhou shook his head: "I will arrange some more people." After saying that, Ma Zhou shook his head: "I can't do it. General Niu will arrange some people to spread some interesting words among the indigenous people, and find a few more impulsive ones.
Those who are determined to serve the Tang Dynasty should do some great things."
Both sides immediately arranged separately and carried out the work at the same time.
Dinner was prepared by the chef from the big ship, and he cooked the dishes that Datang is now famous for.
It's in a wooden house on the seaside. There is a lamp supported by batteries hanging next to it. There are eight dishes on the table, followed by five crystal goblets. The four translators look at me and I look at you. The dishes in front of them are even theirs.
When I was doing business with people from the Tang Dynasty, I had never seen or imagined delicacies.
Especially among the main dishes, there is a bird spreading its wings. They don't know that it is a phoenix spreading its wings.
Niu Jinda came in, carrying a wine bottle.
This wine bottle was filled according to the red wine method of later generations, and was only used to contain the most expensive and top-quality fruit wine.
The deep red wine is poured into a tall wine glass, and just looking at it under the light feels indescribably precious.
"When I, His Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, came to this small place, even if I was just passing by, I would not dare to show any slightest indifference. I don't need to say more about the identity of our King of Qin. In the next five days, the most beautiful place here will be
, the most precious food, the most interesting, no matter what it is, you must try your best to find it, money is not an issue."
What does the King of Qin represent? Since the four translators are proficient in Chinese, they naturally know very well what the King of Qin is.
Niu Jinda invited them to dinner and asked them to attach great importance to His Highness King Qin's inspection. This is also reasonable.
The four translators knew very well that His Highness the King of Qin was much older than any of them, and could not be compared with others in terms of nobility.
"Twenty miles east from here, there is a seascape, which we call Crescent Bay. At high tide, you can see the silver beach. At low tide, all the bays appear, and the sky is as blue as the waning moon. In the sea
You can see transparent small fish, red starfish, and seashells floating on the surface of your feet. If you are lucky, you may find pearls when you pick them up."
An interpreter immediately picked out a place of beautiful scenery as he understood it and said it.
"Not bad, not bad."
Niu Jinda laughed and poured the wine for this person himself.
Then he picked up his wine glass and let the wine make a circle in the glass. Niu Jinda then said: "Try it, this wine is called Tianshan Xia. It is made from grapes steamed and brewed several times from the Western Turks, and then put into wood.
The barrels are transported to Chang'an, where they are steamed and brewed three times before being bottled in a vacuum state."
Niu Jinda knows how to drink strong liquor. When did he know how to taste red wine?
But you have to pretend to be noble. In short, this translation made the four translators' eyes wide open. This wine definitely sounded noble and high-end.
"Good wine will definitely leave a lasting aroma!" Niu Jinda pretended to take a sip of the wine in his mouth, swallowed it gently, and let out a long breath, his face full of intoxication.
Is it really delicious?
It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not, and whether you can taste it or not. What matters is that this precious thing is poured into your mouth.
"After entertaining His Highness this time, I will give each of you a bottle. You must know that this wine is in Chang'an City. A bottle costs a lot of money. If you have money, you may not be able to buy it. If you don't have enough status, the wine merchant may not sell it to you.
"
The four translators nodded sharply.
But after thinking about it, one of them sighed softly: "It's a pity that we don't have such a cup. I don't dare to ask you to reward me. It's just that we work hard, so let's save some money to buy a set."
"No cup?" Niu Jinda shouted.
"How could we have this precious crystal cup?" The translator looked puzzled.
"That's not right!" Niu Jinda scratched his head with an incredulous expression. After staring at the four translators for a while, he said, "I heard that among the rewards given by His Highness this time, there is a wine glass, and a
There are four sets for each household. Who dares to steal your wine glasses?"
Reward, four sets per household?
The translators were confused because they knew that the indigenous chief and the official had already had all the things moved to their home, and there was no room for them in the house, so they all piled them outside.
"This..." None of the four translators knew what to say.
But Niu Jinda stood up: "I'll ask you, I won't hear you wrong. This time there are not only cups, but also four exquisite bowls and four plates. Since our Highness the King of Qin has opened his mouth to reward them, there will definitely be no leakage."
The amount is whatever you have, and there is no discount at all."
A translator stopped Niu Jinda: "This guy should have taken over this."
That guy, just by using this word, Niu Jinda understood the meaning of this translation.
Just as he was talking, soldiers rushed in.
"General, there was a fight. Several workers in our workshop were injured, but it was the soldiers here who took action. We will definitely not be able to start work tomorrow." The soldier reported, and Niu Jinda slapped him.
: "You're a pig. It's a big deal if you can't get a job. Your Highness is here on patrol. If something like this happens, why don't you bury my face in the sand?"
"Ah!" The soldier suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted: "I will take someone with you."
Niu Jinda kicked him over again: "Bring a ball. We are just buying land for farming. If they fight, let's count the ball. Get out of here. I will go talk to the official in person tomorrow and see what happens.
thing."
"What else could it be? That guy must have gone too far." The four translators were all a little angry.
You know, the income from sugar pressing in this workshop is related to their rewards.
"Well, I'm sorry for today. I'll invite you to drink again another day!" Niu Jinda cupped his fists, stood up and went out.
The four translators discussed it and seemed to have made a decision. The four of them nodded at the same time and went out to gather people.
Late at night, Qiuxiang gently knocked on the door of Li Yuanxing's room: "Your Highness, seven people died and more than twenty people were hung from trees. Owner Bo, please give me instructions on what to do next."
"The Tang Dynasty will not interfere in the internal affairs of small countries." Li Yuanxing responded very calmly. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
