Chapter 320 The Gift of Daqin

The last few wooden boxes were even more special. There was a box with a strange-shaped utensil, and there were many exquisite small cloth bags in one mouthful. Each cloth bag was bulging, obviously there were things inside, and the materials used for the cloth bag were the kind they thought they were very good.

Although this Qin State is a barbarian country, there are quite a lot of good things!

The Peacock King and Ministers said in their hearts that they claimed to be knowledgeable, but they had never seen many of the things brought by these Qin people.

But they are in the upper country and cannot show their lack of knowledge. They have to fall in front of the Qin people. Instead, they have to pretend to be "The things you bring are just like that. Our Peacock Kingdom is the upper country of the Heavenly Kingdom. What treasures are there? They cannot arouse our interest at all!"

But when Yao Zhi started to introduce them, they immediately sounded carefully: "These utensils are made of '绿' jade. '绿' is an extremely precious jade in my Great Qin Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to mine, let alone make it into utensils?"

"This complete set of 王lin products is even rarer. In the Qin Dynasty, only His Majesty can produce a complete set, including cups, plates, bowls, and plates... can be used for daily use by the king. But it must be noted that 王lin is fragile and must be taken lightly. If it falls on the ground, it will often break and cannot be repaired."

"This is also a major reason why Wu Lin is difficult to make utensils. Just like its shape and color, it is clean and flawless, without any flaws and filth, it will naturally not tolerate damage."

When giving gifts, what is important is not how expensive the gift is, but to make the recipient feel that the gifts he receives are very expensive.

Anyway, bragging is not taxable. Only by bragging these glassware can it be more precious if you blow it into a rare and royal style. It is also said that glass has a noble quality that cannot tolerate flaws.

After Yao Zhi spoke, the eyes of the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom changed a little, becoming even more rare.

In their status, what they want is no longer practical, but rather has a special meaning, giving them face and demonstrating their status, and these purlin tools can be very obvious.

Especially the point of being noble and not tolerate flaws has hit their hearts, because they are also such people, with a pure soul, noble character, and no flaws.

Just like diamonds and love, is it really related to the two? No, it is just because someone connects the two, that more people equate love with diamonds.

Therefore, the ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's ulin's u

Unfortunately, the Qin people didn't bring more. Even if they still brought them, they probably didn't have such a complete set. If they wanted to, they probably would have to go to Qin to obtain them.

But this not only did not make them lose interest, but wanted it more because the process of obtaining it is difficult, which means that the more precious the item is.

The king of Peacock Kingdom also nodded secretly, thinking that this set of 材材ware is very good for him and should be obtained by him. He is also a person with noble character and no flaws. Therefore, he believes in Jainism and wants to promote Jainism, but unfortunately many people cannot understand it.

Yao Zhi continued to introduce: "This is pottery, which is made of soil and special techniques. This pottery is made in the form of our Great Qin soldiers and chariots..."

With Yao Zhi's introduction, the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom looked carefully and found that the thing called "pottery" was delicately crafted, with very distinctive colors and beautiful colors. The chariot seemed real, and the Qin soldiers were also lifelike, and even the smiles on their faces could be seen.

But this is how the Qin soldiers and chariots fought? Carrying this chariot to rush back and forth on the battlefield?

"This is a bronze ware, made of copper. This is a cauldron. It is often used to cook food in our Great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, there is a saying that the bells and cauldrons are eaten. This is a sword given to the king by His Majesty the Emperor, symbolizing that our Great Qin and Guidi have good relations..."

The sword is nothing good, but this thing is used to cook food. Not to mention the shape is quite unique, with three legs, two ears, and a round body, which looks quite interesting.

Later, Yao Zhi introduced that the box weighed other bronze and jade products, but the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom were not very interested. Their Peacock Kingdom also had these things, but they were different from the Qin people in terms of workmanship and shape.

It was the turn of those boxes with cloth, Yao Zhi introduced: "This is brocade, a precious fabric of my Daqin, made of silk woven."

"Silkworm is a kind of small insect with noble nature. In my Great Qin Dynasty, there is a saying, "The wool wool thiang grows in the South China Sea and flies in the North Sea. It does not stop without sycamore trees, does not eat without practice, and does not drink without sweet springs." Silkworms are like sacred birds, do not eat without mulberry leaves, and are very clean."

In order to go on this mission, Yao Zhi and others made up some cultural knowledge before coming. Otherwise, when they arrived in the Gentiles, how could they talk about the culture of the Qin Dynasty to outsiders?

"When the silkworms are raised for a certain period of time, they will spin silk and form pupae. Silkworm breeders must pull out the silk from the pupae and weave them as brocades through multiple techniques. The process is complicated and the time is very long, and the brocade is not easy to obtain."

"Ran brocade is light, smooth and delicate, and it does not hurt the skin. It has a refreshing and light feeling. Moreover, brocade can weave a variety of colors and patterns, and is a top-notch fabric!"

When I saw it, I realized that the fabric was extraordinary. Now I heard it, I feel even more extraordinary.

Weave fabrics into silk sprouts from small insects that only eat mulberry leaves. How many insects should be raised, how many silks should be drawn, and how many complicated processes should be gone through to turn the silk into the cloth in front of you?

After this introduction, the princes and ministers of the Peacock State had a thought in their minds: This Great Qin does not sound like a barbarian country, but rather like a very civilized and powerful country...

Ordinary barbarian countries will use silkworm brocade to make those exquisite utensils? Could it be that they think it is bad? Maybe the Qin Kingdom is not worse than their Peacock Kingdom?

A prince looked at the strange "white cloth" in another box and asked, "What kind of fabric is this?"

Yao Zhi shook his head and smiled, "This is not fabric, but 'paper'. 'paper' did not exist in this world. It was made by Master Li Nian of the Qin Dynasty, and then it was found! One of the objects of 'paper' is mainly used to write and record texts. It is extremely thin and easy to carry and store."

"In my Daqin, it has been used to record its classics by hundreds of schools, so it is easy to tell the world."

It turns out to be a kind of thing that writes and records words, just like the bark and bamboo slips. No wonder it is so white and neatly cut.

But the paper that Yao Zhi said was originally not in this world, but was made by Mr. Li Nian, and then there was a saying that the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom did not believe it. This was obviously the Qin people deliberately elevating themselves.

The prince who asked the question said curiously: "Who is Mr. Li Nian? What are the hundreds of schools?"

Yao Zhi explained: "Prince Li Nian is a great wise man of my Great Qin. He has a talent for conquering the world and the earth. He knows astronomy and geography. Even if we come to Guibang for an envoy, it was Mr. Li Nian who proposed to His Majesty the Emperor. Mr. Li Nian is also his son-in-law of His Majesty, and he is highly valued by His Majesty!" These words made the princes and princes of the Peacock Kingdom even more curious. Is these Qin people going to their envoys because of Mr. Li Nian?

The Peacock King who asked, said again, "Well, Master Li Nian, knows our country?"

Yao Zhi nodded and said, "It is reported that the young master has traveled to many places and returned to China the next year before. Therefore, he learned various news and heard from many places."

The prince said again: "Since Mr. Li Nian has traveled to our country, why don't we know his talent? His name?"

But before Yao Zhi could answer this question, a minister from the Peacock Kingdom replied to him: "Maybe he has never been to our country, but he has learned about our country from other places, or maybe he has been there, but his reputation is not obvious, and we have never heard of it."

This is, even if Mr. Li Nian has been to their Peacock Kingdom, they would not have noticed it if he had not done anything amazing.

A person who has no reputation in their Peacock Kingdom was treated so strongly in the Great Qin Kingdom. It seems that the so-called great sages of the Qin people are just like that.

Yao Zhi said again: "'Hundred Schools' refers to the 'Hundred Schools of Thoughts'. The sects are wise and wise men of the Great Qin Dynasty. Their teachings have been passed down from generation to generation. The Hundred Schools are the schools that learn to spread their teachings."

"In our Great Qin Dynasty, there are many scholars and hundreds of schools. They discuss the study of governing the country through the world and strategies to safeguard the country and strengthen the country. They also have the words of cultivating oneself and establishing one's nature, and also have theories of observing the world and observing nature."

If you understand, you are the same wise as Buddha and Nobita, but the Great Qin State cannot have so many wise people, and it is definitely a lie made up by the Qin people.

Because they are not as wise as the Peacock Kingdom, how could Qin be a barbaric country?

This is the same as the thoughts of Master Moye, the mayor of Danmolidi, and others. Because my family does not have it, it is impossible for your family to have it.

Another prince asked, "There are the 'hundred schools of thought' in the Great Qin State. Wouldn't there be a large number of sects? So it won't cause chaos?"

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

In their understanding, if the "Scholars" are wise people like He Buddha and Nobita, then the sects established by them are naturally religious sects, and religious sects must absorb and recruit believers. This Qin envoy said that there are many schools of thought in the Great Qin State, but there are many religious sects.

If so many sects exist together, will they not compete for believers or territory with each other?

As soon as this question came out, the eyes of the princes and ministers all fell on Yao Zhi, and even the king of the Peacock Kingdom looked at Yao Zhi with deep meaning.

There are many religions in the Peacock Kingdom. He wants to solve them, but he has not yet decided how to solve them. Now that he hears that the Qin Kingdom also seems to have such problems, he may learn from them.

Yao Zhi smiled and said, "You have misunderstood. In my Great Qin, the 'All Schools of Thoughts and Doctrines' are schools, not sects. They establish schools based on their thoughts and doctrines. The hundreds of schools often sit and discuss the Tao and exchange ideas with each other."

"Now under the guidance of the great emperor, our great Qin has set up a hundred schools of thought in Xianyang. As long as we abide by the laws and regulations of the Great Qin, all the schools of thought can teach knowledge and teach the world in this palace."

After saying this, Yao Zhi added, "Xianyang is my capital of Qin, just like the city of Huafa in Guizhou!"

Hearing this, a prince immediately asked, "Which is the biggest, Xianyang or my Huashi City?"

Yao Zhi understood what the prince was trying to ask about this, and wanted to learn from him that Xianyang was not as good as their Huashi City, so as to satisfy their vanity.

But Yao Zhi was really satisfied with the prince. He said to the truth: "Of course, Huafa City is bigger, Xianyang is worse. Yao has never seen a big city like Guibang Huafa City."

Although it was the truth, it greatly satisfied the vanity of the Peacock King and the ministers, and the face he looked at Yao Zhi became more friendly and close.

Who can be a Gentile who praises his country as strong as his country and is more vain and proud?

Yao Zhi did it on purpose and said halfway: Your Fahrenheit City is bigger, but in other aspects, it is not as good as Xianyang, and Xianyang is changing with each passing day, and sooner or later it will surpass your Fahrenheit City in scale.

The king of Peacock Kingdom was a little disappointed after hearing Yao Zhi's answer. The Qin State was difficult to apply to the methods of the various schools of thought in other countries. Letting a group of religions with different doctrines and ideas and believe in gods sit together to discuss the truth, which is probably a human brain that can make the dog brain.

If you force them together, the scene will be: What do you believe in? I believe in Buddha, and the Buddha leads people to goodness and saves all sentient beings, so what do you believe in?

I believe in the Three Lords. Without the Three Lords, you create the world and create sentient beings, your Buddha is not even a root!

How dare you slander my Buddha? The three gods you believe in are all from myths and legends, and you don’t know whether they are true or false. My Buddha is a great wise man who has truly existed.

Then, the double convenience changed from language communication to physical communication. Then I heard someone laughing next to me. When I turned around, I saw that he was a person who believed in neither the Three Lord Gods nor the Buddhas, but believed in other gods.

The king of Peacock Kingdom calmed down his disappointment and asked, "Then will there be no disputes or conflicts among all schools of thought?"

Yao Zhi continued: "Of course there is, but what if there is disputes and conflicts? Any disputes and conflicts must be placed under the laws of our Great Qin. If you dare to violate the law, no matter which one hundred schools of thought, you must be punished according to the law."

This is another point that cannot be learned. If the laws of the Peacock Kingdom can control those sects, he will not be distressed.

The law is for ordinary poor people and low castes, and it is not enough to control Brahmins and religious believers. For example, Buddhist monks do not work in production, do not serve labor service, do not pay taxes, and ask believers to donate every day, so he has no good way to deal with it.

What's more, this Buddhism was promoted and promoted by his grandfather Ashoka. If he wanted to change it, he had to overturn some of the rules set by his grandfather.

The king of Peacock Kingdom came up with an idea: the emperor of the Qin people was really easy to be, and he was much more comfortable than the king of Peacock Kingdom.

But then he thought, the barbarians of Qin would naturally not encounter problems that only a big country would encounter. Sometimes the country is too big and it is also a kind of trouble. This kind of trouble is something that the Qin emperor wants to experience, but he cannot.

Seeing that no one asked again, Yao Zhi continued to introduce the artifact that was considered strange by the Peacock King and Minister: "This object is called the 'Micro-Girl', as the name suggests, is a treasure that can see tiny things."

"At this moment, there are many things around us, but they are very small and therefore invisible to the naked eye..."

Before he finished speaking, a minister from the Peacock Kingdom asked, "Is there a tiny thing in the water that is hard to see in the naked eye?"

After hearing the questions asked by this minister, the eyes of the king of Peacock Kingdom and some princes and ministers changed slightly.
