Chapter 303: Who is bigger, Qin or me?
The middle-aged local people also felt the same way. Could it be that the Qin tribe was really powerful? He returned the gift to Yao Zhi and said something that might be a welcome to Yao Zhi and others.
After the two parties saw the ceremony, Yao Zhi pointed to the wooden box in the hands of Gan and Yu, and smiled at the middle-aged local people: "This is the treasure given to the leader!"
With that said, Yao Zhi opened the wooden box that Gan Yu was holding, and the contents in the box were immediately revealed to everyone. It was a sculpture. Due to the distance, it was difficult to see the specific details, but judging from its general shape, the sculpture was It should be an elephant.
But what kind of material is this statue made of, and why is it so transparent and pure? Under the sunlight, it seems to have no flaws at all, it is clean and translucent, with a divine beauty.
Everyone who saw the elephant sculpture had an idea in their hearts that this was an incredible treasure, including the middle-aged local people.
The eyes of the middle-aged local people showed joy, and at the same time they were a little surprised. Are these outsiders going to give him such treasures?
He couldn't wait to appreciate this treasure up close, see its details, texture and material, but he held back. There were still two wooden boxes left unopened. Maybe the treasures inside were not inferior to this elephant. Where's the carving?
Yao Zhi noticed the change in the expressions of the middle-aged local people, and opened the wooden box held by the second person. The box also contained a sculpture, but this time it was a sculpture of a horse. It was made of copper and looked like it was running. Three legs flew into the air, and the right rear foot stepped on something.
Regarding this treasure, the middle-aged local people's reaction was not as surprised as when they saw the elephant sculpture. The elephant sculpture really surprised him and attracted his attention at the first moment. He thought it was rare and was filled with joy.
The third wooden box was also opened. This time the treasure inside was no longer a sculpture, but a plain object. Because of the distance, it was impossible to see what it was, so naturally there was not much surprise.
But even if the last two treasures are not that good, the elephant sculpture treasure is enough. The middle-aged local citizen asked Yao Zhi.
Yao Zhi guessed that these treasures were all going to be given to him. He nodded to the middle-aged local people, "These three treasures are all given to the leader!"
Seeing Yao Zhi nodding, a smile appeared on the middle-aged local citizen's face, and he immediately asked six guards to walk towards Gan Yu and the others. He couldn't wait to see these three treasures up close, especially the elephant sculpture.
In fact, it only took three people to retrieve the wooden box, but he sent six people to keep the other three people watching to prevent the wooden box from falling and breaking the treasures inside.
Soon, the three guards carefully carried the wooden box back to the high platform and presented the three treasures up close to the middle-aged local people.
The middle-aged local citizen immediately looked at the elephant sculpture. They were at a distance just now, so they could not see the details of the elephant sculpture clearly, but now they can see it clearly.
This elephant sculpture is not big, but its workmanship is extremely exquisite. However, he cannot tell what technology it is made of and what materials it uses. The elephant sculpture is lifelike, as if it is active. The entire sculpture is transparent and pure, without any flaws. , simply perfect.
The more the middle-aged local citizen looked at it, the more he liked it. Looking at such a pure and transparent treasure, it seemed that his soul had become pure, calm and spotless.
‘This object must be a top treasure among the Qin tribe. The outsiders of the Qin tribe are very thoughtful. ’
The middle-aged local people secretly thought that it would be difficult to find the materials to make the elephant sculptures, let alone carve them into shape.
Such a precious treasure was given to him by an outsider from the Qin tribe, which showed that the outsiders from the Qin tribe did not despise him and respected him. This feeling of being respected and valued made the middle-aged local people feel very comfortable.
But the people from the Qin tribe would give him such treasures, which also shows one thing. The Qin tribe may be really powerful and wealthy, because only if they have enough, they will not hesitate to give it away.
The middle-aged local citizen took the elephant sculpture out of the box and looked into the wooden wall to show it to the local people. He also deliberately walked around the high platform and saw the treasure held in the hands of the leader. The local people also His eyes were immediately caught, and he let out an exclamation of surprise.
After showing it off to others, the middle-aged local people carefully put the elephant sculpture back into the wooden box, handling it with care for fear of damaging it.
Then, he looked at the horse sculpture in the second wooden box. When he looked at it from a distance, he thought this treasure was ordinary and far inferior to the elephant sculpture. Now when he saw it up close, he found that it was not what he thought.
The horse eagle is neighing and running, and it is a galloping horse. The thing that the horse eagle is stepping on with its right hind foot is actually a flying bird. After the bird was trampled by the horse, it looked back in surprise, as if it did not expect that it would be trampled by the horse. A horse caught up.
The horses and birds are carved lifelike, the horses' high-spiritedness and the birds' panic are vividly displayed.
Although they still prefer elephant sculptures, middle-aged local residents have to admit that this sculpture of a horse trampling a flying bird is also a rare treasure.
An outsider from the Qin tribe actually gave him two such rare treasures, which made the middle-aged local people happy but also felt a little heavy at the same time.
Although I have never heard the saying "If you want to take something, you must give it to him first", but the middle-aged local people know this truth. If the people of the Qin tribe have a conspiracy, they may have a big conspiracy.
The middle-aged local citizen also showed the second treasure to the local people in the audience, which caused another burst of exclamation. This was actually a beautiful treasure.
Then he looked at the third treasure. This one was indeed not bad. It was a treasure that could reflect his own face. It was surrounded by cyan copper and inlaid with something he didn't recognize in the center. It was smooth and silvery. Like the calm water, your face can be clearly reflected.
The eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows can all be clearly seen from it. When he blinks, the person reflected in this object also blinks.
The middle-aged man played with the treasure for a while before putting it back in the box. He looked at Yao Zhi and others and said something with a smile on his face.
Yao Zhi and others looked at the "Village Chief", who gestured to them and guessed: The leader of the local tribe was very happy with the gift, thought they were guests from afar, and welcomed them into the market. .
The wooden village door that had been closed just now opened, and a group of local soldiers led Yao Zhi and others into the tribe's market.
All they could see were the local people watching them curiously. The middle-aged local people had come down from the high platform and were welcoming them from the front.
When he came closer, he opened his arms and hugged Yao Zhi while saying something. Yao Zhi knew that this might be the local etiquette and did not hide.
After being hugged, the middle-aged local citizen kissed his cheek, then let go, and invited Yao Zhi and others to visit him deep in the market.
While walking, the middle-aged local people talked enthusiastically, and deliberately taught the local names for certain things. For example, pointing to the sun and making a sound, Yao Zhi replied with the name of the sun in Da Qin.
During the exchange, the two parties came to the residence of a middle-aged local resident. The middle-aged local resident wanted to show off his house. He was very happy to introduce it to Yao Zhi, as if asking: Look, these are my houses. Are they big? very beautiful? Yao Zhi understood that the middle-aged local people were showing off to them, and did not refute. He just smiled and nodded. These houses are not even as good as some of the residential buildings in Xianyang City.
After entering a large room, I saw that there were no chairs or stools inside, but there was a carpet made of animal skins. Everyone was sitting on the floor. The middle-aged local people were sitting in the main seat. On the left side were the "village chief" and a group of others. Local people, on the right side are Yao Zhi and others.
The middle-aged local people asked Yao Zhi questions, and the pronunciation of "Qin" appeared several times in his words, as well as the pronunciation of the local tribe's name.
Yao Zhi guessed that what the local people were asking was where Da Qin was and how far away it was. They might also have asked who was bigger, Da Qin or their tribe.
His guess was indeed correct. The middle-aged local people asked: "You claim to be from the Qin tribe. Where is the Qin tribe? How far is it from our tribe? Who is bigger, the Qin tribe or our tribe?" < br>
How dare a small country dare to compare with Great Qin? No, they are still in the tribal era and have not established a country at all. Even the concept of a country does not exist.
Yao Zhi smiled and asked Gan Yu to take out a paper map, display it in front of the middle-aged local people and others, pointing to the area with the word "Qin" written on it, and said: "This is the Great Qin!"
The middle-aged local people heard the pronunciation of "Qin" by the outsider and understood that the outsider was showing them where the Qin tribe was located on the scroll.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it, but when Yao Zhi moved his finger down, pointed to a place, and pronounced the pronunciation of their tribe's name, the middle-aged local people looked shocked.
In order to let the middle-aged local people know the difference between them and Da Qin, Yao Zhi thoughtfully drew a circle on the map with his finger to indicate the location of other tribes.

Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Seeing the size of the circle drawn by Yao Zhi, and then looking at the area where the Qin tribe was located, the middle-aged local people suddenly became excited and said something to Yao Zhi, probably saying that he didn't believe it, how could his tribe be like this? Small, how could the Qin tribe be so big?
Their tribe is not that big, there are bigger tribes than them, like the big tribes in the south that are said to have tens of thousands of people, and even big tribes with more than 100,000 people, but none of these tribes have as big a land as the Qin tribe. .
This outsider from the Qin tribe must be lying to him!
Yao Zhi smiled and said: "You may not believe it, leader, but this is the fact. Yao did not lie to you. Our Great Qin is unparalleled in the world and is the strongest country in the world in terms of population..."
Yao Zhi explained the concept of "ren Ding" to the middle-aged local people, and then explained with signs on the street stall: "If the number of people in your tribe is one, the number of people in our Qin Dynasty will be thousands."
When Yao Zhi struggled to explain the population comparison between Da Qin and theirs through words and gestures, the middle-aged local people and others were shocked, with only one thought left in their minds: If what this outsider said was true, then How many people must it be?
The most powerful tribe they knew only had more than 100,000 people, but this outsider actually said that the population of the Qin tribe was a hundred times that of the strongest tribe they knew.
Is there such a powerful tribe in the world?
If there are really so many people, then it is understandable that the land of the Qin tribe is so large. With more people, they need wider land and can occupy wider land. Compared with the Qin tribe, they are so small that they can even stand in the forest. Not even bugs.
The more the middle-aged local people thought about it, the more they felt that this outsider might not have lied to him. The Qin tribe might really be so powerful. No wonder this outsider was confident in the tribe they came from, and no wonder they could give him such a precious treasure.
In his view, the extremely precious treasure may not be considered a big deal among the powerful Qin tribe. What Amin from Wata Village said may be true. The people of the Qin tribe can eat snow-white salt and make delicious dishes. Food…
What kind of powerful tribe is that, and what kind of land is it? Are there beautiful jade everywhere, honey flowing in the river, and gorgeous clothes growing on the trees?
It might be a beautiful place like the residence of gods. People there have no worries about food and drink. Even the most ordinary people there can enjoy things that he, the leader of the tribe, can hardly imagine.
These people from the Qin tribe left the Qin tribe and came to a remote and remote place like theirs. They were probably ordered by the leader of the Qin tribe to inform the outside world about the existence of the Qin tribe and spread the gospel of the Qin tribe.
Judging from the performance of these outsiders, his conjecture may not be impossible. Even if the Qin tribe is not that good, it is definitely not a tribe they can afford to offend.
The middle-aged local people had several thoughts in their minds: First, they could not be enemies with these people from the Qin tribe. Not only could they not be enemies, but they had to be entertained. The Qin tribe was behind them. If the Qin tribe was invited, they would not be able to resist; 2. Try to get close to the Qin tribe and make good friends with the Qin tribe. Maybe you can rely on the strength of the Qin tribe in the future...
After thinking about it in his mind, the friendly smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged local people again, much closer than before. When he thought of Qin, the sky and the earth widened in an instant.
He had no idea that although Da Qin was far stronger than them, if they encountered trouble, they would not be able to directly help them. They were not far apart, but the road was too difficult to walk, and they could not send troops or supplies.
A middle-aged local citizen said: "Your department is so powerful, why are you here?"
After some vague understanding, Yao Zhi replied: "We are following the order of His Majesty the Emperor to go to the Peacock Kingdom, which is a country in the west. Does the leader know the news about this country? How can we get there? ”
Yao Zhi made some drawings on the map. After the middle-aged local people understood what Yao Zhi meant, they said: "You want to go to the Peacock Tribe in the west? I do know something about it. It is said that the people there call their tribe the 'Peacock Kingdom'." ', believe in the god 'Buddha'."
"There are Buddhist believers from the Peacock tribe in the south. They wear very strange clothes and shave their heads. They preach Buddhism in the south. Many people in the south follow them and believe in Buddhism. I know this from someone who comes from the south. These!”
As a tribal leader, he knew more than the villagers of Wata Village. The middle-aged local people made gestures while talking, shaving their hair, and clasping their hands together in a solemn gesture.
Yao Zhi and others quickly realized that this was telling them news about the Peacock Kingdom. Yao Zhi and others were very happy after receiving the news: It would be great if there was news, they would be able to find the people of the Peacock Kingdom based on the news, and then they would lead the way there. Peacock Kingdom.
But the news also surprised them. People from the Peacock Kingdom were also sending out envoys?
Little did they know that Buddhist monks from the Mauryan Dynasty had arrived in the south of this land many years ago to spread Buddhist ideas to the people.
