In the evening, Khan Murong Fuyun met with the Zhou envoy Pei Shiju, and expressed his gratitude for the gift given by the Zhou emperor. Then he reiterated Tuyuhun's wish to have a good relationship with the Zhou country, hoping that the two countries' borders will be peaceful and trade with each other.

Of course, this is purely a scene. Yesterday, the nobles decided to guard against the Zhou Kingdom first, wait until winter goes and spring comes, and then decide what to do according to the situation.

The Zhou State had no sincerity in making good friends, so the nobles and people in Tuyuhun tended to take advantage of the troubled waters.

The envoys of Tuyuhun arrived in Yecheng and knew that the envoys of Turks also arrived in Yecheng. They asked for marriage to the Zhou Kingdom, and were rejected. So now Murong Fuyun and the nobles wanted to see if the Turks would launch troops to invade the south, so they would take the opportunity to get a chance.

But before that, we must maintain friendly relations with Zhou Guo and gain more benefits, so the scenes must be spoken more beautifully.

Murong Fuyun pretended to be interested in doing business with Zhou State and asked carefully how the two countries should benefit each other. The princes and princes present also asked questions in an interesting way, pretending to be eager to try.

In response to this, Pei Shiju calmly introduced a huge bilateral trade plan to the Tuyuhun monarch and ministers.

He didn't know what the true thoughts of the monarch and ministers of Tuyuhun were, but he could see that the other party was playing the show. Pei Shiju made the worst plan when he went on a mission to Tuyuhun this time, but even if he knew that it might be futile, he still wanted to continue the show.

Before leaving, the emperor gave him a brief explanation, saying that Tuyuhun was afraid of power but did not have virtue. If he did not teach the other party a lesson first and let the other party know the consequences of non-cooperation, just talking about the big truth will inevitably be fooled by the other party.

It is not good to show off your power as soon as you come up. The Celestial Kingdom emphasizes first etiquette and then military force, so Pei Shiju, who was sent to Tuyuhun, must first show sincerity.

The benefits of doing business are said to be too empty after all, so he used facts to explain to Tuyuhun’s monarch and ministers what is mutual benefit.

The two countries trade with each other, which means they have different or not. Zhou Guo is rich in land and wealth. Tuyuhun is a bit shabby compared to it, but wool can be bought at a good price.

The Longyou Weaving Department of Zhou Kingdom has a new wool spinning workshop, which uses a hydraulic felt making machine to produce products with significantly higher quality than traditional felts by the "needle felt method", so the sales of new wool felts are good.

Tuyuhun's monarch and minister have seen such a new wool felt. The quality is indeed better than the felt made from the traditional "wet felt method", but the price is cheaper.

Longyou Weaving Co., Ltd. also has a new wool textile machine, which can spin wool into wool, and then weave carpets or towels and sweaters, so the sales of new wool textiles are increasing every year.

However, due to the insufficient supply of wool, the production capacity of wool is affected. Compared with the increasing demand, the production capacity of wool textiles has grown too slowly.

These are all reasons why raw materials cannot be supplied, so if Tuyuhun can supply large amounts of wool, it will be beneficial to both countries.

Wool trade is one of them, and the second is that Zhou State now wants to cooperate with Tuyuhun to promote the cultivation of cotton in Tuyuhun.

Cotton is the new name of "Jibei". The fruits of this plant are flocs, white like flowers. They were used to be regarded as ornamental plants, but in fact, this floc (cotton floc) is of great use.

Like cotton wool, cotton wool can be used as filling for clothes and has a warm effect.

Clothes filled with cotton wool, the bedding is a "cotton coat" and a "quilt". The effect is very good to protect against cold, but the price is much lower than that of "milky clothes" and "quilt".

Not to mention that cotton wool can be spun into cotton thread and woven into cotton cloth. The quality and sweat-absorbing effect of cotton cloth are much better than linen cloth. Therefore, the demand for cotton cloth in Zhouguo has skyrocketed year by year, and cotton planting is being promoted in various places.

However, because there has never been a tradition of growing cotton in the Central Plains, the plum blossom planting area in Zhou State is generally small, and the same is true in Longyou area.

The cotton textile industry of Longyou Weaving Department and the cotton planting industry are in its infancy, and the cotton planting area is small, so I hope that cotton will also be planted in Tuyuhun and then sold to the textile factory of Longyou Weaving Department, which is mutually beneficial.

The Hehuang land in Tuyuhun is fertile, which is a good place to plant cotton. Because it is located at the intersection of Huangshui and Yellow Rivers, water transportation is convenient. After loading locally picked cotton, it can be transported downstream to the Zhou State very conveniently.

Zhou State now has a lot of experience in how to grow cotton, and can provide cotton seeds and technicians to teach Tuyuhun the people to grow cotton. As long as Tuyuhun makes up his mind, within three years, the Hehuang land will inevitably become an important cotton production area.

The Hehuang land became a cotton-producing area, which not only brought a large amount of income to Tuyuhun, but also benefited the people of the country. With cotton coats and quilts, the long winter will not be so difficult.

You can even sell wool textiles and cotton textiles to the surrounding manpower to make a profit.

Hearing this, Murong Fuyun was quite surprised. He felt that if Zhou Guo just wanted to lie to him, the lies he made up would be too realistic.

He looked at several nobles and shook his head without any emotion when he saw everyone, so he calmed down and continued to listen "seriously" to listen to the Zhou envoy painted a beautiful picture for him.

In addition to wool textiles and cotton textiles, Zhou Guo also plans to cooperate with Tuyuhun to develop the cheese products industry and make a fortune together.

Cheese products are not unfamiliar to nomads. Goat's milk, cow's milk and even horse's milk can be used to make cheese, and butterflies are also a daily drink. For Tuyuhun's tribes, this is nothing strange.

However, the cheese product mentioned by Pei Shiju is a dairy product made with a new process, that is, it uses goat milk, cow's milk or horse milk as raw materials to make delicious cheese.

This cheese is similar to solid food, resistant to storage and convenient for transportation.

Pei Shiju asked his followers to bring a piece of round cheese as big as a cutting board. After cutting it, he asked Tuyuhun monarch and ministers to taste it. He also ordered people to make tea and ask Tuyuhun monarch and ministers to taste it together, and at the same time he could relieve the greasiness.

Murong Fuyun looked at the blocky object emitting a milky smell in the silver plate in front of him, and he was a little hesitant.

This cheese exudes a milky aroma and is indeed a dairy product, but it has many holes on it, as if it has been bitten by a mouse.

It’s really okay to eat it? What if the envoy of Zhou Guo poisons it?

Murong Fuyun thought so, hesitating a little. Pei Shiju didn't say anything about it when he saw this. He looked outside the tent and saw it getting late, so he suggested watching a wonderful fireworks show and feeling Zhou's determination to be friendly with neighbors.

The emperor and his ministers of Tuyuhun did not agree to it after hearing this. Anyway, they made up their minds and no matter how much Pei Shiju said, they wouldn't be trapped.

Cheese? Tea? Tasty, so what if it is delicious?

Even if we starve to death and die of thirst, we will not care about the smelly cheese or strange smell of water in Zhou State!

The guest of honor walked out of the tent, Murong Fuyun looked at the open space ahead, where some people were busy around several carriages, all of whom were Pei Shiju's followers, preparing for the "fireworks".

Pei Shiju reminded that the monarch and ministers of Tuyuhun knew that this kind of "fireworks" would make sounds, which were quite loud, but would not hurt people, so they held their breath and saw how spectacular the "fireworks" in Zhou State were.

A moment later, the performance began. After a gong, the carriages suddenly burst into thick smoke, and then a fire roared into the sky. After a few breaths, beautiful sparks burst out in the air.

Murong Fuyun was stunned by the strange scene, and the flashing fire illuminated his gradually pale face. The expressions of the other princes were the same as those of Khan. If Pei Shiju hadn't reminded him in advance, they would have thought that the gods were angry.

Amid the thunder, sparks bloomed above Fuqi City, colorful and colorful, causing widespread panic in the city.

Many horses were frightened, and they kept neighing and struggling, trying to break free from the reins and run out. The people who didn't know the truth thought that the gods were angry when they saw this. Both men, women, young and old were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtow.

After a long time, Murong Fuyun, who had not been able to recover from his senses for a long time, looked at Pei Shiju and exclaimed: "Empress... This... this fireworks are really spectacular!"

After the translation of the news, Pei Shiju smiled and said, "Khan, this is the wish of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please don't laugh at Khan."

"Where are, these fireworks are so mysterious!" Murong Fuyun admired him sincerely. He had never seen such a spectacle, and he felt that he would never forget it for the rest of his life. "Can you see fireworks often in the Great Zhou?"

"That's not, it's a bit dangerous to fireworks and will not be released often." Pei Shiju replied with a smile, "It's okay for these fireworks to go up to the sky, if they run towards the crowd..."

“What will happen?”

Murong Fuyun subconsciously asked, and the nobles listened.

Pei Shiju still smiled and said, "If the fireworks run towards the crowd, it will be like a person who is on the back and there will be heavy casualties."

After a time when Murong Fuyun felt a cold back, the other nobles who had a good news translation changed their faces when they heard this, and then looked at each other.

Threat, this is a naked threat from the envoy of Zhou State.

It means that if Tuyuhun knows the appearance, everyone will have fireworks to see it. If they don’t know the appearance, Zhou Jun will shoot it with this thing...

The soldiers will collapse then!

Thinking of this, many people were sweating profusely and saw panic in each other's eyes. Their eyes looked at Pei Shiju, all with awe.

The power of fireworks is amazing. The nobles felt that not only people could not stop it, but horses might not be able to bear it. The envoys of Zhou State were not performing, they were obviously intimidating by force.

Of course, this may be a magic trick, but for the Tuyuhun monarch and minister, they dare not take risks, so the idea they made before was probably to change.

After the fireworks performance ended, the guest of honor returned to the tent. Murong Fuyun and the nobles sat down with thoughts. Listening to Pei Shiju continue to introduce the beautiful prospects of cooperation between the two countries, Murong Fuyun suddenly asked:

"Well, I'm not sure if I can say more about wool textile and cotton textile just now?"

After hearing what Khan said, the nobles pricked up their ears. They didn't listen carefully at all, but now it's different.

If Zhou State really wants mutual benefit, it seems to be good, it is better than fighting.

The attitude of the monarch and ministers of Tuyuhun changed drastically, and Pei Shiju was very satisfied with this. He still smiled and repeated what he had said again.

This time, Murong Fuyun and the Tuyuhun nobles present were all listening attentively.

While listening, eating cheese and drinking tea, many people suddenly think that the tea is delicious and the cheese is really delicious.
