Chapter 605: Bright Identity
The business of Tiangongfang began to get better. Porcelain and silk were high-end goods after all. After the popularity of the first few days, it became deserted. There was only a part of the people who had the ability and intention to buy in Yancheng. After these people bought it, it was not easy to drag the rest. Unless the price was reduced, it was not cost-effective and unnecessary. You could wait until the beginning of spring and vendors from other countries arrived one after another before selling.
The business of Tiangongfang is different. Although it was not popular at the beginning, as the reputation became popular and the price of things was not expensive, it soon spread in Juyan City. What is interesting is that whether it is the houses built by Tiangongfang or the farm tools or furniture, there will be dragon-shaped carvings on it, and some simple Chinese characters.
No one knows why, but the people in Juyan City are becoming more and more intimate with the Han family, and Liu Yi and others are becoming more and more loved in Juyan City.
King Juyan sent someone to invite him again. This time, he was relatively formal. A palace envoy came to invite him, but Liu Yi still did not agree.
"Wouldn't this be bad?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi with some concern. After all, she didn't hit the smiley person. After all, she was also a king. Liu Yi wiped out the other person's face twice, which made Lu Lingqi feel a little guilty.
"If in the Central Plains, a county magistrate invites your husband and sends a county official here, do you think it's appropriate?" Liu Yi held the wine glass and tasted the wine, and asked back.
Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. Isn’t Juyan just a county town? It’s not that big, and then she felt something was wrong: “But my husband is here now as a merchant.”
"But that King Juyan is not the magistrate of my Dahan County!" Liu Yi took a sip of wine, looked at Lu Lingqi and smiled, "And next, I will meet him in the name of the Emperor Envoy of the Han Dynasty."
"My husband wants to show his identity?" Lu Lingqi asked with a smile.
"It's almost done." Liu Yi nodded: "I didn't use my identity to suppress others before, because I was worried that the people of Juyan were rejected. Now that our reputation has been revealed, the people in the city have supported me. At this time, it will not only not be rejected, but will be more popular."
"Why should you come here in person for this matter?" Lu Lingqi said with some amusement: "I'm still suffering."
The previous experience in the desert made Lu Lingqi unforgettable for her life, and it was too cold.
"Our capital in the Western Regions will be here in the future!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
The location of this Juyan is very good. Of course, what is more important is that it is close to the desert and can burn a lot of glass. Liu Yi's glass factory is ready to be built here. In addition, the cement factory and smelting factory are also ready to be built here. He had calculated the five elements here before, which is suitable for casting a five element furnace. Smelting can also be done here just now, but it will take until summer, when the yang energy is the strongest.
This is also why Liu Yi came here in person, environment, geographical location and resources. Liu Yi even wanted to try to change the climate here. If the sand table created by the power of creation has a certain ability to affect the surrounding climate. If more water resources can be absorbed and precipitated here can be increased, this Juyancheng has the potential to develop into a large county and can also become a springboard for controlling countries in the Tianshan Mountains in the future.
Although Lu Lingqi didn't understand why Liu Yi chose this place far away from the Central Plains to gain a foothold, since Liu Yi decided, she would not ask too much.
...
"Your Majesty, this Han merchant is too presumptuous. Please allow me to lead troops to capture him!" In the Juyan Palace, Juyan General Che Liji said furiously on the spot after learning that Liu Yi refused King Juyan's good intentions for the second time.
Although he is a Han Chinese, he is too rude. After all, he was invited by King Juyan.
"Forget it!" King Juyan waved his hand and said, "I heard that this Han man is not simple. His people call him the owner of the manor. He can bring so many porcelain and silk. His status in the Central Plains is not low. He is not an ordinary merchant, and maybe a scholar. If this is true, we have indeed neglected others."
A weak country has no diplomacy. Although Juyan has broken away from the status of Zhangye vassal state in recent years, facing the Han people, especially those with some identities in the Han Dynasty, they are inherently lacking confidence.
The other ministers didn't say anything else. Just talking about the other party's reputation in Yancheng now, you have to consider this matter seriously. You can't offend others brainlessly.
"Let's go tomorrow, I will invite you in person." Seeing that no one was talking, King Juyan stood up bored and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, this..." The general was even more dissatisfied. The king of their country saw a great merchant in the Han Dynasty and actually wanted to go in person.
"It's settled." King Juyan waved his hand and said.
The next morning, King Juyan personally came to Liu Yi's Tiangongfang, requested to meet and invited him warmly.
"Madam, change my clothes, change my official uniforms, and let King Juyan wait outside." After Liu Yi received the message, he did not go to see him immediately, but asked King Juyan to wait outside, and asked Lv Lingqi to take out his official uniform and seal and dress neatly. Then he walked out of the door to meet King Juyan.
Outside the Tiangongfang, many people of Juyan who had good things gathered. Although Liu Yi has been constantly showing kindness in Juyan City during this period, he felt a little dissatisfied when he saw his king being left outside.
"What's wrong with these Han people? They are very kind to us, why are they so disrespectful to the king? Even if they are Han people, this is over?"
"Who knows?"
Just as everyone was talking, they saw Wei Chang and Wei Rong strode out of the Tiangongfang in military uniform. Twenty soldiers were on both sides, wearing bright armor, and a stream of iron blood filled the air.
"Who are you waiting for?" Che Liji's expression changed, he pressed his waist knife and stared at these people coldly. The guards of King Juyan Wangting also became alert.
But these soldiers in military uniforms didn't say much. After leaving the door, they stood on both sides and stopped talking.
Soon, Liu Yi walked out of the Tiangongfang dress and looked at King Juyan, a short and fat old man in his sixties, and said calmly: "Is King Juyan?"
"That's right." King Juyan looked at Liu Yi in surprise and asked, "I don't know if sir is..."
"Ju Yan Wang's Han words are right, but I don't know why Ju Yan wanted to leave me?" Liu Yi didn't say anything, but just asked with a smile.
"This..." King Juyan's chest stagnated, Liu Yi had been in a high position for a long time, and was at the decision-making level for a long time. His aura was much stronger than King Juyan's. In addition, this question was a bit difficult to answer. If you are not careful, it was the diplomatic relationship.
"Who are you? What qualifications are you to question my king!" Cheriji frowned.
"Rare!" Wei Chang, who was standing beside him, took a step forward and shouted: "You are optimistic. This is my great Han Sikong, the third Duke of the current dynasty, who is also the governor of Xiliang and the 100,000 troops of Xiliang. How dare you disrespect me?"
Beside Liu Yi, Lu Lingqi raised her seal and swept her phoenix eyes coldly over Che Liji. As a general Juyan, Che Liji was also a person who fought on the battlefield. However, when facing Lu Lingqi, Lu Lingqi's eyes were staring at her chest and her chest was slightly stagnant and she couldn't speak.
The Great Han Sikong!?
King Juyan's face changed. He knew a little about the official system of the Han Dynasty. In the past, Juyan's country saw the largest Han officials, but they were only those prefects. When facing these people, they had to pay careful care, let alone the Han Sikong came in person.
Many people around who could understand the official language were also in a stir. No one knew what the great man Sikong was, but when he saw that the momentum was an amazing person, no wonder he had such a style.
King Juyan finally understood why the other party refused his invitation twice. Not to mention the messenger coming to invite him, even if he came forward in person, he would usually not be able to invite such a person.
"Let's go." Liu Yi looked around and said calmly: "Don't bother the people. I am here to be considered the envoy of the Emperor of Han."
"Yes." King Juyan didn't dare to say no, so he obediently led his people to lead the way for Liu Yi and headed towards the direction of the Juyan Palace.
