Chapter 321 The Arrogant Qin people
Because in the Buddhist saying, there are insects in the water, you must recite the water purification mantra before drinking water.
If this strange object called "Micro-Treasure Mirror" can see tiny objects in the water, wouldn't it confirm this Buddhist statement?
Buddhism is already powerful, and this statement has been proven. What is that okay?
It will only increase the miraculous nature of Buddhism in the eyes of the people and make the people believe in Buddhism more.
This is not conducive to the idea that the Peacock Kingdom wants to weaken the influence of Buddhism.
Yao Zhi said: "There are naturally in the water, and there are often more tiny things in the water than around us. If these tiny things enter the human body, they will sometimes cause disease for us."
A peacock king retorted: "According to the envoy's words, there is such a tiny thing in the Ganges water, but why did we drink Ganges water not cause illness?"
The Ganges River is their holy river. They bathe in the Ganges River, drink the water of the Ganges River, and bury their bodies in the Ganges River. They have been here like this for many years, and there is no major problem.
Yao Zhi smiled and said, "Because our body can prevent the invasion of most tiny objects, only a little can't."
Without giving the prince a chance to continue asking questions, Yao Zhi returned the topic to the microscope.
He said, "The reason why tiny things are invisible to the naked eye is that they are too small, but this microscope can enlarge its shape to the extent that we can see with our naked eye. If you don't believe it, we can now demonstrate it!"
After hearing this, some princes and ministers were ready to try this microscope and see what strange little things they could see.
But at this moment, the king of Peacock Kingdom spoke, "It's inconvenient today, so there's no need to demonstrate. When you have time to go, you can use this treasure mirror with your loved ones!"
Yao Zhi was stunned by the opposition of the king of Peacock Kingdom. He thought the king should be curious about the microscope and took the initiative to let the demonstration watch.
But it is not allowed.
This is definitely not the reason why the Peacock Kingdom said "today's inconvenience", but the king of the people said that there is no need to demonstrate, so don't ask.
And...
Judging from the expressions of some princes and ministers who are enlightened, they obviously know the factors behind this matter.
After skipping the microscope, he stopped talking about the tiny things. Yao Zhi introduced the box with a delicate cloth bag and said, "These tips contain a kind of medicine!"
Yao Zhi deliberately increased the tone of the word "medicine" in his words, making the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom seriously, and all their eyes looked at the tips.
The Qin people brought a drug here? What medicine is it? The Qin people want to treat them?
Yao Zhi continued to say in Peacock Mandarin: "These drugs can be used to treat malaria!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire palace became quiet.
In the environment of the Peacock Kingdom, malaria naturally occurs from time to time. Even in later generations, it is one of the most serious malaria countries in the world. Moreover, in this era, the severe attack is even worse than in later generations.
Of course, Daqin would not kindly give the Peacock Kingdom medicine, but instead used this to force the Peacock Kingdom to make concessions to the Qin Dynasty on certain issues, so that the Qin Dynasty could gain more benefits.
After Yao Zhi spoke, a minister said in a deep voice: "Envoy from Qin State, do you know what you are talking about? Malaria has no cure and no cure. Only by being protected by the gods can you have vitality!"
Yao Zhi glanced at the minister and smiled and said, "The country cannot be governed, but my great Qin may not be!"
This sentence made the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom unhappy and felt offended.
What does "The country cannot be governed, but I, Daqin, may not be!"?
Isn’t this looking down on them?
Their Peacock Kingdom is a country above the Celestial Empire. What is Qin Kingdom? At which level is it?
How dare the envoys from a barbaric country talk to them like this?
The minister said again: "Envoy from Qin, are you sure this medicine can cure malaria?"
Yao Zhi thought to himself, "Unless the people in your Peacock Kingdom are not humans, but a group of monsters covered in human skin, why can't you wait for medicine that people can use? ’
But I thought so in my heart, and couldn't say that. He said, "If you don't believe me, you can find a group of people with malaria to try it."
Seeing Yao Zhi's promise, the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom had already believed it: the Qin people may have really mastered the treatment of malaria.
But this is still a bit incredible!
That's malaria. Those who get it can only rely on their own strength to survive. How can they hear that there is a medicine to cure it?
The minister said again, "If this medicine is true, can you give the prescription to our country?"
When he decided to give the drug to the Peacock Kingdom, Li Nian realized this: when he learned that there was a drug that could treat nearly terminal illnesses in the era, with the character of the Peacock Kingdom, he would definitely find a way to get the prescription and imitate it by himself.
Unfortunately, the Peacock Kingdom is not the white elephant of later generations, nor the world-famous generic drug factory, and Li Nian also thought of a solution for the mission.
Yao Zhi smiled and said, "Even if the prescription is handed over to Guibang, Guibang cannot be used, because many of the medicinal herbs are available in my Daqin!"
The princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom instantly understood the sinister intentions of the Qin people:
They deliberately took out this strange medicine, but only Qin State had the medicinal materials for making this strange medicine. If they wanted to get the medicine, they had to agree to certain conditions of the Qin people and go to Qin State to seek it.
But this also further proves the authenticity of this medicine!
The Qin people were so hateful that they wanted to force them to submit in this way. They just felt that the Qin people liked each other now only felt that the Qin people were hateful.
If they also understood the language of the Qin Dynasty, they would have said angrily, "How dare you bully me like this, a little country?"
But after being disgusted, they found that they didn't seem to have any good ideas for these Qin people. They were obviously prepared for it. Even if they took them all down and executed, it would be useless unless they didn't want to get this medicine from Qin again.
What's more, although people have a purpose, they are indeed envoys sent by the King of Qin. They have brought so many gifts, and the etiquette is in place. There is no reason why others will arrest people if they don't hand over the prescription.
Yao Zhi and others were now happy, "Let you pretend to be a country in front of us, thinking that we are barbarians in small countries..."
The king of Peacock Kingdom asked, "If we want to obtain this medicine, how should we obtain it?"
Yao Zhi smiled and said, "We are here to establish diplomatic relations with Guizhou under the order of His Majesty the Emperor. The so-called diplomatic relations are not verbal agreements, but to hand over letters from both countries. The kings of both sides leave their names together and each retain one letter of nationality." As he said that, the Qin envoy handed over two letters of nationality that had been prepared long ago. In fact, several were prepared to prevent damage and loss on the road.
The letter of nationality was passed to the Peacock Kingdom.
This surprised the princes and ministers of the Peacock King. This is the way of establishing diplomatic relations in the Great Qin State. It feels very advanced and formal. Is it sure that the Great Qin State is a ignorant and ungrateful barbarian country?
The Chinese Book is exquisitely made, the cover is made of a special tree bark, with gilded fonts on it, and is painted with strange monster patterns (canglong and black bird). After turning it opens, there are pages of strange things called "paper".
But the paper is not white, and it is full of words.
It is an extremely beautiful character, square, generous, neat and orderly. Just looking at this kind of character, you can see a strong country.
Compared with this kind of character, their Peacock Kingdom's character is like a crawling insect, incomparable.
The Peacock Lord fell in love with this kind of word at first sight. Although he didn't know a single word, the beauty revealed in the word attracted him.
Unfortunately, this is a Qin person's character, not from his Peacock Kingdom. Why did his Peacock Kingdom fail to create such beautiful characters?
The characters on the national calligraphy that the Peacock king read were actually simplified regular script, which was specially made by Li Nian for the mission.
Because he thought that not only would the Qin Dynasty use simplified characters in the future, but also to let simplified characters go abroad and become common characters in the world.
The Peacock Lord read it once, but did not leave his name and stamp it?
I don’t know what the Qin people wrote on it, so who dares to sign it randomly?
Yao Zhi continued to say: "After the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, Guibang will be a friendly country between our Great Qin. Both sides can obtain needs and communicate whether they need them in many aspects. For example, this medicine for malaria can be obtained from our Great Qin..."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Yao Zhi talked about the benefits of establishing diplomatic relations. Everyone got along with each other and became stronger and more advanced together. From now on, you are strong and I are strong, and you have a bright future.
But when Yao Zhi's words were sneered at the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom. If you really have what you said, why don't you hand over the prescription first?
Whether we can find medicinal materials is our business, but if we don’t submit the prescription, you will be greatly reduced and you have no sincerity.
They can see now that Qin may be a small country, but it is definitely not ignorant, but it is crazy.
Are you not afraid that the Peacock Kingdom will launch an army to attack Qin?
With their Peacock Kingdom's strength, the Qin Kingdom would never be able to resist it!
I don’t know what gave the Qin envoy a arrogant confidence, maybe I felt that the Great Qin State was far away from the Peacock State and was not easy to reach.
Yes, if the two countries were adjacent, then the Qin Kingdom would have long been part of them. How could there be an envoy coming to speak out to them?
They actually thought about another possibility in their hearts, that is, the Qin Dynasty is not a small country, but a very powerful country, and its strength is not even below their Peacock Kingdom. Therefore, the Qin envoy dared to speak to them like this, neither humble nor arrogant, without the fear of a small country, and even a little arrogant and bold.
But how is this possible? There is no country as strong as their Peacock Kingdom in the world. The only country in the world is the Peacock Kingdom!
Perhaps there was once a powerful country in the west that could be compared with the Peacock Kingdom, but now it is nowhere near, and they have never defeated the Westerners.
King Yueguard drove away the Greeks in Punjab, repelled the invasion of the Seleucid Empire, and occupied Ariya (some areas of Afghanistan).
This Qin envoy may be an ignorant and fearless person. He was used to being king in their area, so he was arrogant and unfaithful.
In this situation, we can only take a heavy blow to make the Qin people realize that in the face of a truly powerful country, they can do nothing.
However, Qin was far away from them and could not hit hard!
In fact, Yao Zhi and others had the same idea. These people from the Peacock Kingdom were so lucky that they could not let them see the power of the Qin Dynasty, otherwise how could they be so arrogant?
The Peacock Lord said, "I already know the meaning of the messenger. The messenger must be tired because he talks so much. Please rest for a while!"
Yao Zhi understood that the Peacock Lord was asking them to retreat. He had something to talk about, so he smiled and said, "If the Lord doesn't say it, Yao has not yet felt it. Now, I am really tired and thirsty when I hear the Lord's words. I would like to thank the Lord for his kindness."
After Yao Zhi and others retreated, a Peacock King shook his head and said, "It's really a barbarian country. He is so arrogant. I really think that using a drug can threaten us? As a small country, I don't know how to deal with a big country. It's a good way to cause trouble!"
Another agreed: "The Qin people must be allowed to know that the Qin people are too far away and it is difficult to go there, so a drill will be held and they will be invited to watch it."
One of them smiled and said, "When we see the elite soldiers of our country are good at fighting, can't we scare the Qin people?"
Yao Zhi's words and attitude stimulated them. He dared to be so disrespectful to them. He had to punch hard to let the Qin people know that they were powerful.
After hearing the remarks from everyone, the Peacock Lord did not say anything, but handed out two letters of the country and asked the servants to pass them to the princes and ministers.
The princes and princes took it in confusion and looked at it. Some princes and ministers became more and more surprised as they looked at it, and their brows gradually frowned.
At this time, the Peacock Lord said, "This Great Qin may not be as we thought before. It is a barbaric country and a ignorant country. With such words, it can produce all kinds of strange things. It cannot be said that it is a powerful and civilized country. You need to be cautious when dealing with it. Can you see the things made by Lin Baoyu in the past?"
Indeed, the Qin people did not look like barbarians, they were courteous and well-founded in their work, and their attitudes seemed arrogant when facing them, but that was because they stood from the perspective of a big country believing in small countries and a strong country bent on weak countries.
But what if the Qin State is not weak and the other party treats them as a country of the same level?
The remarks made by the Qin envoy were not disrespectful to them or arrogant, but were equal in dialogue with them and stating the facts.
But the princes and ministers of the Peacock Kingdom do not want to admit this, and they also think it is unlikely.
A minister retorted: "It should be that he is skilled in the art of ingenious art, so he can make a variety of strange things. The microscope and purlin instruments must be made with great effort, just to show off to us."
"Among the people, the poorer the family, the better the face. They are afraid of being ashamed of others. This is the case with Qin State. The weak country is afraid of ridicule us, so they specially find treasures."
This has attracted many people to agree that the country is not as strong as them, but small countries are also countries and have treasures. Taking out some treasures that their Peacock Kingdom does not have, does not mean anything.
A prince and prince agreed, "It must be like this. The country is small and the people are few, so they do not know how big the country is and how strong the country is. They think that they are the king and dominate the land of their own. They are actually entertaining themselves. Some strange things cannot be represented. If our country wants to seek strange things, it can be thousands of times higher than that of Qin."
This is also true. The king is just a king, but he insists on pretending to be the name of "emperor". How great can that Qin emperor have? Can he be comparable to King Yuegu, or can he be equal to King Ashoka?
Obviously, it cannot be compared. That is, there is no elephant in the mountains, monkeys dominate the king, and have never seen a truly great and outstanding king, so they will feel that they are powerful. If they are in the same place as King Yuehu and Ashoka, the Emperor of Qin can only bow down and surrender.
