Everyone was waiting anxiously, everyone wanted to see what treasures the Governor of Ceylon would give to Emperor Hongzhi.
Ceylon Island is a treasure island. It not only produces gems, but is also extremely rich in various resources. It is also a transit point on the Western routes, where treasures from all over the West can be gathered.
¡°It¡¯s coming~ It¡¯s coming!¡±
A small yellow doorman ran over in a hurry, shouting as he walked. Suddenly all the ministers looked in the direction of the door.
Soon, Hu Xian, who was wearing a crimson robe, walked up with his head held high. Behind him, the treasure-presenting boy and the treasure-presenting maiden came in a neat line. The gems he held in his hands shone charmingly under the sunlight. of light.
After receiving the news, Emperor Hongzhi in Fengtian Palace also walked out with a smile on his face.
It is of course a good thing for someone to offer you a treasure.
????????????????????? Don¡¯t worry about it, you can collect a large amount of tax from Ceylon Island every year, plus a large amount of treasures are paid as tribute every year.
This is completely different from the tribute from a vassal country. Emperor Hongzhi does not need to return the gift. He can accept it calmly. It is like a son paying filial piety to his father. As a father, he will naturally cross his legs and enjoy it peacefully. That¡¯s it.
¡°Well, that¡¯s how Emperor Hongzhi felt at this time.
Ceylon Island is far away from the Ming Dynasty. Whoever rules it is also a rule. In this case, why can't it be ruled by the Ming Dynasty themselves?
The entire Ming Dynasty can obtain a steady stream of benefits from the Island of Ceylon.
Not to mention anything else, Silanda was occupied by the Western United Trading Company. From now on, the Ming Dynasty will have a solid bridgehead on the Western side. Whether it is the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty or the people of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they go to the Western Ocean, there will be a place where they can settle down. The ground is gone.
Under the attention of everyone, Hu Xian slowly came to the dragon steps, and then knelt down very respectfully. After the ceremony, he shouted loudly: "The Holy Grace of the Emperor, the might of the Ming Dynasty, and the majesty of our Western United Trading Company." I have gained a little from the West, so I came here to pay tribute to the emperor!"
After Hu Xian finished speaking, Xiao Huangmen immediately took the gift list and began to read the donated treasures loudly.
"A pair of sapphires~"
As the Xiaohuangmen read out, the two boys also stepped forward and bent down, raising the sapphires in their hands high. Then the Xiaohuangmen in the palace also stepped forward to accept their contributions on behalf of Emperor Hongzhi.
"Wow~"
¡°What a big sapphire~¡±
¡°It¡¯s so pure, these two sapphires alone are priceless treasures~¡±
When the ministers looked at the two sapphires, Zhang Heling, one of the Zhang brothers, couldn't help but marvel.
When everyone heard this, they were slightly shocked, but they were relieved when they saw that it was the Zhang brothers. It is estimated that only these two brothers would sigh on such an occasion.
But everyone was actually similar to him, and their eyes were dazzled by these two huge sapphires.
The key to such top-quality pure sapphires is that they are so big. It is simply unheard of, let alone seen with your own eyes. Today, I was lucky enough to see two.
¡°The name of the Treasure Island of Ceylon is indeed well-deserved~¡±
Someone sighed softly that the island of Ceylon is rich in gemstones. Everyone knows this, but they never expected that there could be such top-notch pure sapphires.
"Two pairs of purple gems~"
"Xiaohuangmen continued to recite, and two pairs of treasure-presenting boys came forward and raised the purple, fist-sized gems high. Under the sunlight, the gems shone with a charming luster.
The many ministers present were all well-informed people and had seen many kinds of gems. However, when they saw such top-notch gems, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes, and then quickly My eyes turned red.
As for the ministers who owned shares in the Western United Trading Company, they straightened their backs slightly. This thing is my family's property. There are gem mines on Ceylon Island, and there are many gems.
Teams of treasure-presenting boys presented various kinds of fine gems. The small yellow gates that accepted the treasures stood together. Under the sunlight, this area shone with dazzling light. The colors were so bright and charming. , people are intoxicated by it.
"Ten thousand taels of gold~"
With the chant from Xiaohuangmen, the spirits of all the ministers could not help but be shaken.
I saw a strong man walking with a golden burden. The small box inside the burden was filled with gold bars. The mouth of the box was opened, and the golden light was dazzling.It turns out that there are no lions here. In history, merchants from the Western Regions donated lions, so stone lions came into existence. Emperor Hongzhi had his own animal garden, which contained various rare and exotic animals donated from various places. But most of them are tigers, leopards, deer, wolves and the like, but there are no lions.
The one walking in the front now is the lion. With its majestic body and huge mane, it is also the first time for everyone to see a real lion.
Even Emperor Hongzhi straightened his back slightly, trying hard to see more clearly.
"Haha, okay~"
"It's really big, really fierce, bigger than a tiger. I just don't know who is more powerful in a fight between a tiger and a lion?"
"This white tiger is very rare. I didn't expect that there are white tigers here in Ceylon."
"And this is a crocodile?"
"What a big crocodile! It's much, much bigger than our crocodiles in the Ming Dynasty! (There were still alligators in the Ming Dynasty, so don't criticize me.)"
"Of course it's big. This may be the Nile crocodile, the largest crocodile in the world~"
"What a big turtle~"
"That's a sea turtle, not a tortoise. How could a tortoise be so big~" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
