The wind was howling and heavy rain was pouring. The Danluo Palace was still moving in the wind and rain. In the hall, the Danluo King Gao Li, who was receiving the Baekje envoy, listened to the sound of rain outside and signaled the envoy to continue watching the song and dance.

Wuji is the original Wuji in Zhongyuan. Its dances beautifully and looks like a fairy descending to earth. There is also a musician of Zhongyuan playing music on the side. The sound is extremely wonderful. Gao Li can't see or hear enough every day, so now he wants to share his joy with the messengers of Baekje.

Today's Danluo Palace is a newly completed palace built by craftsmen in the Central Plains. It is both sturdy and beautiful. It also uses magical "glass windows". It can guarantee a certain amount of light even on cloudy days, not as dark as the old palace.

The palace was changed, and Gao Li's outfit was also changed. He and the nobles were dressed in silk and satin, no longer the shabby appearance they used to be.

The incense burner is ordered overseas incense medicine, and the food is made of white porcelain tableware as white as snow, as well as crystal clear glass cups and glass bowls. They eat the delicious dishes cooked by the chefs of the Central Plains and drink the fragrant tea.

The one who slept was a charming maid in the Central Plains.

The palace guards were all wearing iron armor, sharp steel knives, and full outfits, all dressed as the King of the Celestial Dynasty, and looked very majestic.

Gao Li was very satisfied with his current life, and the nobles were also very satisfied. So when he met the messenger from Baekje, everyone's smiles were all from the bottom of their hearts.

But the smile of Baekje messenger Yan Feilian was purely squeezed out.

Looking at Gao Li, the lord of Danluo, who was similar to a monkey in the past, now he was like a human being. Yan Feilian remembered an idiom in the Central Plains, which was "bathing the monkey and being crowned". If it were in the past, the other party would have too late to please him, the envoy of the upper country, so how could he be so domineering like now?

However, today is different from the past. Danluo, who surrendered to Baekje in the past, has now changed to a sect leader country, that is, Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains. The strength of Zhou Kingdom is not something that Baekje can compete with.

The vassal was forcibly taken away, and Baekje was unwilling to accept it, and there was no way to do so.

The year before yesterday, Baekje assisted in defense of Danluo, but it was defeated completely. The Baekje army stationed in Danluo was almost wiped out. Zhou's fleet even arrived at the mouth of Baijiang, and acted as if he was entering the river and attacking the capital of Baekje.

Now that things have come to this point, Baekje has no other way except to compromise.

Baekje, which was attacked on both sides, could not afford the Zhou Kingdom, which could cross the sea to expedition. For Baekje, the enemy of life and death was the treacherous Silla and Goguryeo, which was eyeing her in the northwest.

Zhou was in contact with Japan and had increasingly close contacts. Baekje was unwilling to accept it and could only watch it now. However, Zhou seemed to be devoted to doing business, so it was also an excellent opportunity for Baekje.

Yan Fei raised his glass and drank against Gao Li, the Star Lord (Baiji's title to King Danluo). After putting down the wine glass, he smelled the faint fragrance coming from the incense burner and couldn't help but lose his mind.

Yan Feilian was a Baekje nobleman. He knew that this kind of overseas incense medicine was of great value. Even in China, it was only affordable for upper-class nobles and royal families. In the past, the monkey-like Danluo Star Lord and the so-called nobles in China could afford it.

But now it’s different. The Lord of Danluo and the nobles actually used precious incense medicine. It seems that they are not just taking it out for the scene, but are used on weekdays, with sufficient inventory and no worries about not being able to afford it.

Looking at this brand new palace, Yan Feilian knew that it could already be compared with the Baekje Palace. If the transparent "glass window" was added, it would be even better than the Baekje Palace.

The Baekje King knew this fact, so he was eager to buy glass windows from Zhongyuan to decorate the palace. The nobles were eager to buy overseas incense medicines, various rare treasures, and white sugar that they could not live without.

The official office of Zhou State to manage the maritime trade was named "Maichuan Division", and the Marichuan Division had a "concession" on Danluo Island. The Marichuan Division official office within the concession was responsible for contacting various transactions.

Therefore, the strong demand for overseas incense medicines and Central Plains specialties in Baekje can be met by contacting the Zhouguo Maritime Administration Office in the Danluo Island Concession.

But for Baekje, the biggest demand is not these, but hopes that Zhou will provide help to help them fight against Goguryeo and alleviate the huge military pressure faced by Baekje.

Therefore, Yan Feilian was actually ordered to go on a mission to Zhou State to meet the Emperor of Zhou State and submit a letter of state. The reason why he stays in Baekje is because he must come here to "check his identity" before going to the Central Plains.

This is the newly established rule by the Zhou State Maritime Bureau. Whether it is Japan, Baekje or Silla, if an envoy goes to Zhou State, he must first go to the Zhou State concession last year of Danluo Island to check his identity and go through the "Entry procedures".

Only by obtaining the "identity certificate" issued by the Maritime Bureau in the Concession Office of the Danluo State, the envoys who go to Zhou will not be considered as "prodigal businessmen" who impersonate them, and can successfully berth in the Central Plains Port and receive formal reception from the Zhou State government.

Before arriving in Tanluo and going to the concession to handle the procedures, the envoy must first meet the King Tanluo to show respect.

The Zhou State's actions were obviously to raise the status of Danluo State and the king. The former small country is now becoming more and more decent.

According to this regulation, how should the Zhou State Maritime Bureau check the identity of the envoy?

After all, officials of the Zhou State Maritime Department must not be clear about the domestic situation in various countries, and it is difficult to find out the authenticity of the person who comes in a short period of time.

In response, the Zhou State adopted the method to require Baekje, Silla and Japan to send officials to station in Tara as the "minister" and work with officials from the Zhou State Maritime Bureau to coordinate the handling of maritime trade affairs in various countries.

When the imperial courts of various countries sent envoys to the Zhou State, they had to go to the concession to go through the procedures, and the "immigrants" of various countries in the concession were responsible for distinguishing the authenticity of the envoy's identity.

Of course, if you know it is fake and say it is true, you will bear the consequences if the incident occurs.

Although it is a bit strange to establish a "minister" in Tanluo, it does facilitate contact between countries and Zhou. Therefore, even though Baekje and Silla are hostile relations, the "ministers" of the two countries live next to the Zhou concession on Tanluo Island.

The place of residence is called "Embassy",.

Japan also set up an "embassy" in the concession. The "embassy" of the three countries are very close. The "immigrants" bowed their heads and saw each other without looking up. It was convenient for them to contact each other, quarrel, and negotiate trade matters with the Zhou State Maritime Bureau.

The little Danluo Kingdom has now become a stronghold for exchanges between countries in Haidong. Baekje lost a vassal, but it has obtained an excellent diplomatic and trade channel. I don’t know whether to be happy or cry.

Thinking of this, Yan Feilian looked out of the hall. The storm was coming, and it would take a few days to calm down. He felt that he could communicate with the "minister" of Japan and how to strengthen exchanges between the two countries.
