Fang Xuanling's words reminded everyone of a question.
The thousands of excellent warhorses brought by the Qin country this time were not a free gift, but an exchange.
What they wanted was the Great Tang's saddles, stirrels, sabers, and armor, as well as its excellent smelting techniques.
The Qin army was strong, but the smelting technology was backward.
As a result, the powerful combat power of the army could not be fully displayed, and the equipment and weapons were barely satisfactory.
If the State of Qin could obtain the smelting technology of the Great Tang, then its national strength would be greatly improved in a short period of time!
"The iron smelting technology must not be handed over to the Qin country.”
Li Shi Min said without hesitation, his eyes cold.
Most of the civil and military officials in the court looked down on the Qin country, but he knew the potential that the Qin country had and the great talent and strategy of that Qin Wangzheng!
As an emperor, he was naturally proud, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that he was far inferior to the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
Therefore, even though he was allied with Qin, he would not give Qin a chance to become stronger, especially when it came to fundamental skills such as smelting iron. No amount of warhorses could be exchanged for it!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others were relieved when they heard this. They had the same thoughts.
At this moment, Du Ruhui remembered something and said,""Your Majesty, there was an accident when the Mysterious Armored Army welcomed the Qin Country's diplomatic mission into the city today."
He recounted everything that had happened outside Chang 'an today.
"That unfilial son always does these boring and useless things. He's really childish!”
Li Shimin said angrily.
Hou Junji didn't have the guts to change his orders. Only Li Chengqian would dare to do so.
However, he could not reprimand him because Li Chengqian had cleverly made use of the rules. It was indeed a ban in Chang 'an Fortress that a large number of people were not allowed to bring weapons into the city.
But in his view, these methods to make things difficult for the Qin country's diplomatic mission were too crude, and they did not look at the big picture.
"But speaking of which, that Young Master Qin Fusu is quite good. He easily resolved the difficulties of that unfilial son.”
Li Shi Min nodded and said.
Compared to Li Chengqian's methods, Fu Su's response appeared to be very brilliant.
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and said," This Young Master Qin is indeed extraordinary. As expected of the future monarch that the King of Qin values and grooms. He is magnanimous and has the demeanor of a monarch."”
Today, Fu Su's calm and confident attitude in the hall was recognized by everyone.
"The seven emperors of the Qin Country were all wise emperors. If you count Fusu, then it would be the eighth generation.”
Fang Xuanling also admired Fu Su.
Hearing their praises, Li Shiming felt a little jealous of Ying Zheng, the King of Qin.
It's fine if you're better at governing the country than me and more diligent than me, but the descendants you've nurtured are actually so outstanding!
Compared to Fu Su, Li Chengqian was far inferior.
Comparisons were infuriating!
"Forget it, I finally found a good husband for Lizhi.”
Li Shi Min sighed and comforted himself.
.......
Fu Su and the others were settled in the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
Li Shimin had specially instructed them to receive the highest standard of state guest treatment, giving them enough attention.
However, Fu Su did not really care about this.
He was more concerned about how the Tang Empire would hand over the goods to them and what kind of " price " they would give in return for their big gift.
It was not easy to get so many excellent warhorses. He was already prepared to negotiate.
This concerned the interests of the State of Qin, and he attached great importance to it.
"Leave these matters to me, Young Master need not worry.”
Zhang Yi smiled at Fu Su." It's not easy for you to come to Chang 'an. You can go out and take a look."”
"Chang 'an is much more prosperous than Xianyang. If you don't go there, you will regret it.”
These days, Fu Su had been in the Chamberlain of Dependencies, discussing with him how to carry out the exchange and negotiation of interests with the Tang Empire. He did not go anywhere.
He admired her spirit and attitude.
"Since Father has entrusted me with the important task of being an envoy to the Tang Empire, Fusu naturally cannot slack off.”
Fu Su closed the book and said seriously.
Not far away, Meng Yi's expression became even more bitter when he heard this.
Fu Su did not go anywhere. As a guard, he naturally could not leave at will. This made him want to see the prosperity of Chang 'an.
Zhang Yi saw this and smiled in his heart. He said to Fu Su,""If Young Master is free, why don't you accompany me out?”
"When I was young, I studied in Chang 'an and received the guidance of the great scholar, Mr. Chongyuan. Now, I'm going to pay a visit.”
"Mister Chong Yuan?"
Fu Su was shocked when he heard this.
Mr. Chong Yuan was the name of the great scholar Kong Yingda!
Zhang Yi actually knew Kong Yingda? Shouldn't his master be Guigu 'zi?
In fact, he did not know that although Zhang Yi was Guigu 'zi's student, it was normal for him to visit famous people on a study tour.
Kong Yingda was the number one scholar of the Great Tang!
"Go, Young Master! Haven't you always advocated Confucianism? This is a good opportunity!"
Meng Yi immediately perked up and tried his best to persuade him.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Fu Su's handsome face. In fact, he was not interested in Confucianism at all.
However, when he saw Meng Yi's excited expression, he still nodded and said,"Since that's the case, let's go pay a visit.”
"Alright!"
Meng Yi stood up with a kip-up, then hurriedly ran to prepare the carriage.
........
Not long after, Meng Yi drove the carriage, carrying Fusu and Zhang Yi to the Residence of Confucius.
Along the way, he also saw the prosperity of Chang 'an.
The streets were bustling with people. There were various shops and restaurants on both sides of the street. People dressed luxuriously could be seen everywhere.
Other than that, they could also see merchants from other regions, as well as women dressed in Hu clothes. They were dressed beautifully and were much more open than the Qin country.
There were even bold women who noticed Fu Su in the carriage and secretly made eyes at him.
Apart from this, there were also guards patrolling the streets to maintain order.
Chang 'an was full of prosperity and the atmosphere of the secular world, but this was the charm of Chang' an City!
Even though Fu Su had transmigrated here and was used to seeing true prosperity, he could not help but be attracted by this unique charm.
"Prosperous Chang 'an!"
Fu Su praised in his heart. No wonder everyone in the world regarded Chang 'an as the number one city. It was indeed unique.
If the State of Qin wanted to reach the prosperity of the Great Tang, it would still need many years of development.
But he was willing to fight for this goal!
