After the exquisite and tedious banquet, Han Du and others were led to the side hall to rest. In the side hall, there were benches with brocade cushions and sheets, carpets and exquisite mats that could be rolled up at both ends, as well as corresponding cooking utensils.
, cups, spoons and coffee table.
Shaharul was very happy and said to the officials and nobles, "Everyone, today Ming merchants have brought us treasures from the mysterious East. You can choose to buy them freely."
Everyone paid symbolic respect to Shaharul, but they did not think that these Ming merchants could really come up with a treasure like a mirror.
The people present had the impression that the Ming Dynasty was rich in porcelain, silk, tea, etc.
Hader received Yu Qian's signal and quickly stood up to express his thanks to Shaharul first.
Then he said to everyone, "Dear gentlemen, on behalf of the merchants of Ming Dynasty, Harder will show you this treasure."
Following Hader's signal, a small wooden box was brought in by the servant.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the wooden box, which was no wider than a palm. This wooden box was small, but the key point was that it was very ordinary. There was not even a trace of carvings on the surface, so it was completely useless.
Harder listened to the sneers one after another, but showed no sign of it. He opened the box and took out a strange-looking thing.
"Distinguished gentlemen, this is a pair of glasses." Harder showed it to everyone, pointing and explaining, "The frame made of twisted gold wire is elegant and luxurious, and the lenses made of glass are far better than any crystal."
Everyone listened for a while, showing little interest.
Perhaps for ordinary Timur people, crystal and gold are out of reach, but for these people, there is nothing rare about having them at their fingertips!
Harder was not in a hurry, smiled and bowed and said, "Does that noble gentleman have trouble seeing things blurred?"
A fat man stood up with a smile and said, "Sir, I have this problem. Is this thing of yours useful?"
Hader immediately recognized this person, it was Shaharul's Minister of State, Jaffe.
"Of course it works. If Master Jia Fei doesn't believe it, you can try it."
Jaffe waved his hand calmly, interrupting Harder's words. "Sir, I also have a reading stone from Byzantium. Do you think this thing is better than the reading stone?"
Jaffe's intention was very obvious, that is, Hader should never try to deceive him. Otherwise, he would expose it on the spot.
Harder was full of confidence and was not afraid of confronting Jia Fei. He said firmly, "Of course, I don't dare to deceive Master Jia Fei. If the glasses are not as good as the reading stone, I am willing to give up all my property."
Property is the guarantee of a person's credibility. As soon as Harder said this, even Jaffe
I believed his words for the time being.
"Okay, let me try it, sir." Jia Fei walked up and asked curiously, "How to use this? Is it the same as the reading stone?"
Hader smiled and shook his head, "That's how I put it on."
After saying that, I tried wearing it myself.
It was so simple. Of course Jia Fei knew it at a glance. He took the glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose. They were slightly heavy because they were gold frames, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Then he tried to open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He lost consciousness for a moment and did not recover for a long time.
His eyes have been blurry for many years, and they are becoming more and more serious. Even ordinary reading stones cannot solve his problem.
Originally, he had no hope for these glasses, but he didn't expect that these Ming businessmen actually gave him a surprise.
"Jia Fei?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Shaharul couldn't help but asked curiously.
Jia Fei quickly turned around and bowed to Shaharul, "Your Majesty, Jia Fei, please forgive me for being rude."
Shaharul smiled lightly and waved his hand, curiously asking, "No problem, tell me how you feel about these glasses?"
"I feel that the whole world has become clearer. It is unprecedentedly clear. This is far beyond the comparison of reading stones. This is an unprecedented feeling, so amazing!" Jia Fei, who was originally the Minister of State, should be mature and steady, but now he is
But he couldn't help but show his excitement.
"Give me a try." Another great nobleman who was also troubled by eye problems couldn't help it. He reached out and took Jia Fei's eyes off.
Jia Fei suddenly felt as if his eyes were covered with a layer of mist again, showing an unhappy look.
But when he recognized who had taken away his glasses, he did not dare to say anything. He could only secretly hope that there was more than one person.
"Huh?" The visitor had just put on his glasses and immediately discovered a completely different world.
"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, how many years, sir, I can finally find the feeling of youth."
When Hard heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This great nobleman knew how to praise himself. He was such a good person!
"How much does it cost? The master wants this thing." The noble nobleman was afraid that his eyes would be snatched away by others again, so he quickly asked the price.
Seeing this, Hader originally negotiated a price of two hundred dango, but he directly doubled it five times.
"Thousands of hangings
son."
"It's cheap. Leave me your address and ask someone to send the money to you." The nobleman bought it without hesitation.
To him, a thousand dollars was nothing, and it was incomparable to the brightness and clarity in front of him.
When other people saw that this man was so decisive in buying the eyes, people with the same problem criticized him one after another.
Since Shaharul came to power, the nobles originally installed by Timur to protect his son suddenly became out of control.
Even with the power of Shaharul's great victory, he could not make the nobles completely surrender and could only cooperate with them.
Therefore, in the Timurid Empire, the power of the ministers was far less than that of the great nobles, except of course those who had both identities.
Seeing that everyone was gradually noisy, Harder quickly explained, "Dear gentlemen, there are more than just these glasses. There are others. You don't have to fight for them." ??
Upon hearing this, Harder was instantly surrounded by more than a dozen nobles, all asking to buy it.
Harder quickly asked the servants to bring all the glasses, and everyone bought them without even looking at them. With the rush of buying, everyone couldn't help but move, even people without eye problems donated generously.
After all, there is no such thing as eye disease now. Who can guarantee that you will not have it in the future? Being prepared in advance can be regarded as being prepared.
There was such a lively scene in the first transaction, Harder's confidence doubled.
He quickly took out the second piece and said, "Masters, please take a look!"
"What is this?" Everyone's eyes widened.
A crystal clear glass bottle containing some liquid.
"This is the perfume from the mysterious East." Harder sang in a cadence.
"Fragrant water? Can water also be fragrant?" Shaharul couldn't help but be curious.
Hader quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Great Sultan, this is no ordinary water, it is more charming than spices."
"Is it really better than spices?" Shaharul was a little unconvinced. In his opinion, spices are gifts from God to mortals, and there is no way that anything can surpass them.
Harder didn't explain, and just twisted hard to open the bottle.
In just a few breaths, a strange aroma suddenly lingered on everyone's noses.
"Hiss~"
"This is too exaggerated. He just opened the bottle."
Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Hader suddenly raised his proud head and said, "This fragrance is not only very wonderful, but it can be applied to the body and clothes, and the fragrance can be retained for a whole day.
.”
Can it be applied on the body? This is more effective than spices!
Timur people generally have a strong body odor, so their obsession with spices is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even for these nobles and ministers, the clothes they wear every day must be smoked with spices.
Even if you don't smoke for a day, you will be ridiculed by others.
Shaharul couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly and walked to Hader.
He took the glass bottle over unceremoniously and asked excitedly, "How do you use this perfume?"
Hader stretched out his hand and gestured, "Press the mouth of the bottle with your finger, apply a little bit like this, and apply it on your neck or clothes."
Shaharul understood the idea and immediately followed it, smearing a little on his neck, and then quickly capped the bottle again.
After a while, everyone could no longer smell the fragrance, but everyone discovered that no matter where Shaharu went, he would carry a strange fragrance with him.
The fragrance can be so strong and last so long? It seems that this person was not lying when he said it can last all day.
"How much of this perfume do you have? There won't be only one bottle of this, right?" Shaharul asked, looking into Hader's eyes.
Harder quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed more than one bottle of perfume, but it is not much."
"How many?" Shaharul asked anxiously.
Harder quickly asked someone to take out all the perfume, "Including the bottle in your Majesty's hand, there are ten bottles in total."
Shaharul quickly motioned to the guards to come forward and take it, and then asked with a faint smile, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"My great Majesty, I hope to get the Uzi sword." Hard made the request according to Han Du's plan.
Shaharul was slightly startled and asked in disbelief, "It's just the Uzi sword? Although the Uzi sword is good, it is far from comparable to your perfume. You can change your request."
In Shaharul's view, it was his kindness and willingness to give Hader another chance.
Harder said firmly, "Your kind Majesty, if possible, I hope to get more."
Shaharul was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a slight smile, "Okay, since you insist, I will promise you that I will give you four thousand Uzi swords."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ten bottles of perfume are exchanged for four thousand Uzi swords. Even before the price of Uzi swords has been pushed up, the price is still very high.
"If you have any other treasures, please bring them out." Apparently Hader's performance made Shahalu very satisfied and made him impatient.
