"The four beloved ministers are exempted from courtesy. This time, they all work hard and have made great contributions. They can calmly and calmly face dangers when encountering things. They will adapt to the situation and return to their country smoothly. They even bring back the envoys of the country who are the country. I am very relieved. This time, the mission will greatly increase our power. I will reward you very much. The Su Mansion Order will draw an order..." The First Emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, spoke with a smile.

The CRRC Mansion Order Su Yue had already knelt at the desk at this time, spread out the edict and picked up the brush to wait quietly.

"The imperial edict was issued to the chief of the envoy Li Shun as the marquis of Xicheng, and rewarded 20 hectares of grain and 50 acres of property, one marquis' mansion, and a fief of 1,000 households, and there were also gold, silver, slaves, chariots, horses and ceremonies, and the Ministry of Rites followed the old rules..."

"The imperial edict was given to Zhang Jiao, an adjutant of the envoy, and was given the title of the lower minister, and rewarded ten hectares of grain and thirty acres of property, and added three hundred households with fiefs. The rest of the rewards were as follows the old rules..."

"The imperial edict was issued to the deputy commander Meng Buhui as the title of the lower minister, and rewarded ten hectares of grain and thirty acres of property, and added three hundred households with fiefs. The rest of the rewards were as follows the old rules..."

"The imperial edict was issued to entrust the military post of Colonel Qi Xuan, the Imperial Army Captain, and rewarded 20 hectares of grain fields, 30 acres of real estate, and additional 500 households with fiefs. The rest of the rewards were as follows..."

"The imperial edict, the rest of the envoys, civil servants, servants, etc., all have been given a title of three or more level 3. The rewards are all followed by the old rules. Those who are slightly injured are given another thousand coins, those who are heavily rewarded with 3,000 yuan, and those who are deceased are given a reward of five,000 yuan, those who have children are given a son to join the office, and all personnel of the envoys are exempted from taxes for ten years..."

It seemed that the First Emperor had already thought about the rewards of the mission. He had not stopped at all and had finished the rewards of the missions. Su Yue also kept brushing the pens and wrote the edicts one by one and sent them to the First Emperor for inspection. After the First Emperor confirmed that it was correct, he then stamped the emperor's jade seal and sent it to the Secretariat for issuance after the court was dispersed.

"I am grateful to you, Your Majesty for your great reward!" Li Shun and the other two were excited and lay on the ground to express their gratitude.

Li Shun's thin cheeks were flushing and his breathing was a little unsmooth. If Chen Xu hadn't come to the door yesterday to remind everyone that he might be the marquis, I'm afraid he would have fainted in excitement at this time.

A few years ago, the family still had to eat but not eat, relying on their wife, children, and mothers to make some small living, and even planned to sell their property to make a living. However, they did not expect to meet Qinghe Hou. In just eight years, the whole family underwent earth-shaking changes. Now they have become a hot top noble in the Qin Dynasty. This feeling of going to heaven and earth is like a dream.

Li Shun's title also made the whole court unrest. Since conquering the Hun and Hu, the First Emperor had not been granted a marquis for five or six years. The closest one was Jiang Hu's title of a marquis in Yinshan. Although Li Shun's mission made great contributions, he was just a mission. If you want to say that hard work is a result, it may not be possible for him to be a great success. He also cheated back the fiancée of the King of Anxi, creating a strong enemy for the Qin Dynasty in the West. It is fortunate that the First Emperor even awarded a marquis, which was indeed beyond expectations.

"Several ministers and the missions are all working hard. I promise you to take a half-year vacation and return home and have a good time to enjoy the rest of your life. There will be other appointments at the end of the holiday. You will be ready for each of you when you go home. Later, an envoy will go to the mansion to pass on the orders. Let's retreat!" The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will leave!" Li Shun and the other two got up and bowed again. They all left the court as if they were drunk, and then cheered and went straight to the house.

At this time, there were two groups of people outside the court hall, one group of four women, the leader was Asia, the other group was the envoy of the Physical Poison Mission, and the servants carried more than a dozen leather pockets, waiting for the summons of the First Emperor under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites.

"Xuan Su's envoys from the country of poisoning came to the court to meet him!"

Shortly after Li Shun and others left, as the envoy standing at the gate of the convention hall shouted a long shout, several officials of the Ministry of Rites quickly brought a group of body poisoned messengers wearing thick sheepskin gowns and numb-soled shoes along the long steps under the surveillance of the majestic imperial guards, trembling step by step.

When summoning foreign envoys, the civil and military officials in the court saw a lot of civil and military personnel, but the body poisoning was a Western country, so everyone was still very interested, especially the more than ten leather pockets that were carried into the court together.

The envoys of the State of Sin Poison paid greetings in the clear Central Plains language, presented letters to the country and conveyed the blessings of the Sixth King of the Peacock Empire to the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and expressed their ardent hopes for friendly trade exchanges. They also expressed their hopes to purchase large quantities of the Great Qin porcelain, enamel, steel knives and crossbows.

Faced with these requests, the First Emperor did not make a promise in court, but promised to carefully consider it and give the mission and King Salishuga a satisfactory reply. Then the envoy who was poisoned opened all the leather pockets and took out various gifts for the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the Left Prime Minister. Among them, there were not only gold, silver and jewelry, silver and tin, magical instruments, various Indian specialty ivory products and lions, tigers and bear skins, but also cotton and cotton cloth and dozens of different fruits and vegetables seeds, all over the floor.

The Body Poison Messenger came from all over the world, and the gifts were also dazzling. The specialty of these were tin, silver and ivory sculptures, which were very beautiful, and all kinds of statues with three heads and six arms were amazing. If eight or nine years ago, these gifts would have been full of interest from the emperor to the civil and military officials. However, now these exquisite handmade products fell in the eyes of civil and military officials in the court, but I really couldn't raise any interest.

Faced with the gifts all over the ground, the First Emperor praised a few words, but only made people take the cotton and cotton cloth that Chen Xu was interested in for a closer look, and then discussed with Chen Xu a few words. The mysterious appearance of the monarch and minister aroused the interest of civil and military officials in the court, Feng Quji and Meng Yi and others. Someone asked the envoys to watch and discuss the cotton and cotton cloth, and soon they were attracted by this snow-white thing and soft and smooth cotton cloth. Someone asked the envoys of the Shandu Kingdom to inquire about it, and soon the news spread in the court. This was a Western specialty cotton. Chen Xu specifically instructed Li Shun's delegation to get it back from the Shandu Kingdom and could be used to spin and weave cloth!

"Your Majesty, this cotton is naturally fine and soft. The spinning is much simpler than silk thread. It can be planted on a large scale. The yield is expected. It can be picked and processed after it is mature. It is very simple. Therefore, I wrote a memorial last night. I hope Your Majesty will agree!" After muttering and discussing with the First Emperor, Chen Xu took out a memorial from his briefcase and submitted it to the First Emperor.

After taking it, the First Emperor opened it and watched for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I think this strategy of the Grand Master is feasible!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu saluted respectfully.

"It must be that I thank the Grand Master. If it weren't for the Grand Master, I might not have seen such a good thing that benefits the country and the people in my life. I will arrange this later!" The First Emperor put down his memorial and knocked on the imperial case a few times. All the civil and military officials and the envoys of the body and poison were quiet.

"I am so pleased that the envoy of the Mandarin Kingdom came from afar and offered so many gifts. I have always paid attention to etiquette and exchanges. How can I let the envoy of the Mandarin Kingdom return empty-handed? Where is the order of the Ministry of Rites?"

"I'm here!" Yang Zhu quickly stood up and bowed.

"Immediately, according to the etiquette of the country's communication, prepare gifts for the poisonous king, and allow the delegation to purchase any goods in the goods market in Daqin. I heard that they like my Daqin's ceramic toilet..."

"Hahahaha... I actually like toilets...hahahaha..."

The civil and military officials in the court instantly burst into laughter, and some people were even laughing so hard that they could not straighten their waists.

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing, and grabbed his beard and waited for the laughter of the civil and military officials to calm down before continuing with a smile: "Qinghe Marquis has promised each person to give him a toilet, so I will not give it to him. It is difficult for the envoy of the Poison Kingdom to come from afar. In order to make friendship, in addition to the return gift from the Ministry of Rites, each person will be rewarded with ten kilograms of sugar and two kilograms of tea. These will be discussed by the Shaofu and the Ministry of Rites. Please make careful arrangements and do not miss them!"

"I will obey the order!" The Ministry of Rites ordered Yang Zhu and the Shaofu Order Zhao Wei quickly bowed and accepted the order.

He was summoned by the First Emperor and ordered to give him a gift. Although the Physical Poison Mission had not completed the task completely, they all danced happily. After thanking him repeatedly, they withdrew from the court and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go shopping and opened their eyes.

After a busy day in the court, some palace servants and commissars packed all the gifts all over the floor, and sent all the gold, silver, jewelry and gifts to the Shaofu warehouse. In the end, only seven or eight bags of seeds, a bag of cotton and more than ten rolls of cotton were left behind.

"My dear friends have just read it. The Grand Master said that this is an excellent crop recorded in the Book of Heaven and can be promoted and planted on a large scale. In the future, it will inevitably become the main clothing and household fabrics for the people of Daqin. In order to complete this process as soon as possible, the Grand Master asked to prepare a special cotton cloth, which is a five-year temporary fifth-rank yamen, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, and is specially used for promoting cotton planting. This matter is assigned to Feng Xiang and Gao's Ministry of Revenue. After the scattered court, officials will be assigned to the Quick Establishment Office, and the Agricultural College and the Agricultural Office will be arranged to go to the south to choose land as soon as possible to sow and transplant it after spring. Within one year, I will see the cotton cloth produced by Daqin. After five years, I hope that all counties and counties that can plant cotton in Daqin must have cotton planting. In addition, all farmers involved in the cultivation of cotton will be exempted from 30% of the grain tax and will be exempted from cotton tax..."
