Under the attention of all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, Leheke led more than 300 envoys to the dam outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Fortunately, the dam outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony is big enough, otherwise so many people would not even have a place to stand.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yang Yiqing, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Qiong and Xia Yuanming stood together, but did not stand in the formation of the officials.

The reason is nothing special, because it is too embarrassing. It can also insult the dignity of the imperial court officials and the qualities of the gentleman of scholars.

When Wang Qiong saw Lehe Ke bringing people to him, he felt a little nervous. He couldn't help asking Yang Tinghe beside him: "Sir, can the trick of Grand Tutor Jiang do? Why do I feel that my heart is always unstable?"

Before Yang Tinghe could answer, Yang Yiqing hugged his hands in front of his chest and said, "What if it doesn't work? There are only 700,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and it is not enough to give it to Na Yili as a gift. Only Taifu Jiang could think of such a solution. If it were us, could there be a better solution?"

"This is, this is," Wang Qiong nodded.

Seeing Leheke approaching, Jiang Xia immediately raised his hands above his head.

The civil and military officials suddenly took out a small red flag from behind. They danced the small red flag in an orderly manner and shouted in unison: "Welcome, warm welcome."

Leheke was startled by the sudden situation and hurriedly asked the translator around him what these Ming officials were saying.

After translating the words of the officials to Leheke, Leheke suddenly felt very excited.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, and all civil and military officials even sent him to welcome him. I am afraid that some kings of small countries may not necessarily have such treatment.

Lehe Ke looked at Jiang Xia with a sarcastic look, and enthusiastically opened his hands and said to Jiang Xia: "You are so polite, Lord Jiang is so polite."

Jiang Xia also endured the disgust and hugged Leheke and said, "We have been in contact with your country for many years. To our Ming Dynasty, your country is like brothers and sisters. No matter how complicated the etiquette of brothers and sisters is, it is not polite, but a kind of respect."

Le and Ke were embarrassed by Jiang Xia's words.

He himself was the pro-war faction of Yiliba, and he always advocated joining the Oirat to attack the Ming Dynasty. This time he came here with a deliberate embarrassment, but he did not expect to be treated so politely.

The so-called "human heart" is made of flesh. For the first time, Leheke thought that it was actually quite good to be friends with the Ming Dynasty.

Leheke nodded and said, "The Central Plains is indeed worthy of being known as the country of etiquette. I am sorry for some of our rude behaviors after we came to the Ming Dynasty."

"General Leheke said this so politely. You are not used to the customs and customs here when you came to the Ming Dynasty. There is a slight friction between the people on both sides, which is inevitable. You also apologize specifically for this. You are so polite, so polite."

Jiang Xia skillfully talked to Leheke in Mongolian, and praised Leheke for the first time to understand what shame means.

Leheke held Jiang Xia's hand and said excitedly: "No matter what relationship Yili has with the Ming Dynasty in the future, I, Leheke, will always regard you, Lord Jiang as your friend."

"Good brother." Jiang Xia also looked excited.

He clapped his hands, and the palace guards immediately lifted the red cloth from the twenty carriages. The twenty carriages were filled with various vases, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and books.

Of course, there is no gold, silver, jewelry and jade.

Leheke was slightly stunned when he saw it, pointed to the vases, porcelain and other things and said, "Are these rewards from the Ming Dynasty to us?"

Jiang Xia nodded with a painful face. He took Leheke's hand and walked to the carriage on one face, saying, "I believe you must be thinking about why there is no gold, silver, right?"

Leheke nodded very frankly.

Jiang Xia's hands were clenched and Ke's hands, and the expression on his face seemed to be moved and was about to cry. He said excitedly: "General, our officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue have checked what you Yili gave us together. It is estimated that it is worth 1.8 million taels of silver!"

Lehe Ke was startled by Jiang Xia. He himself knew that those things might not be worth 100,000 taels of silver.

But now Jiang Xia said 1.8 million taels, of course he could not refute, so he could only nod and said, "Indeed, in order to show sincerity, our country brought all the most precious things in Yili."

"That's it!" Jiang Xia patted Leheke's shoulder heavily and said, "Yilibali is our friendliest friend of the Ming Dynasty. If you are so sincere, how can we let you suffer?

So, we have concentrated all the most precious things in the Ming Dynasty here. A rough estimate is that the things here are worth at least 10 million taels of silver."

"One to ten million taels?" Leheke stared at Jiang Xia with wide eyes, and then looked around at the things on the carriage.

He asked in disbelief: "You said these things are worth ten million taels of silver?"

Jiang Xia looked righteous and asked, "What? The general doesn't believe it?"

Jiang Xia clasped his fists at Leheke and said in a deep voice: "Please send someone who understands Central Plains culture."

Leheke thought for a while and turned to look at the translator he brought.

Jiang Xia stretched out his right hand and pointed it at him, then hooked his index finger and signaled him to come over.

The translator bowed to Jiang Xia and walked over.

Jiang Xia took out a green porcelain from the carriage and handed it to the translator, asking, "Look, what is this? How much silver do you think it is worth?"

The translation result looked at the green porcelain carefully, and then said weakly: "This seems to be a chamber pot, right?"

"Yes, this is a chamber pot, but it is not an ordinary chamber pot." Jiang Xia said with a serious look: "This is a chamber pot used by Qin Shihuang, and later Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, also used it. Its value is so precious, I believe you should know a little or two without me saying it, right?"

Jiang Xia said as she secretly raised her right hand.

When the civil and military officials saw it, they immediately shouted loudly: "Oh my God, no, Grand Tutor, that's the relics of the late emperor and the national treasure of the Ming Dynasty."

The civil and military officials suddenly yelled like this, and Leheke and the translator were shocked. The translator's hand shook, and the chamber pot in his hand almost fell to the ground, which scared him so much that he hurriedly held it tightly in his arms.

Tian Yuan, the principal of the Zhan Shi Mansion, was a sixth-rank official, actually ran over excitedly and reached out to grab the chamber pot in the translator's hand.

Jiang Xia grabbed him and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​the overall situation is the most important thing."

"That chamber pot is priceless. It was bought by Shen Wansan, the richest businessman of the Ming Dynasty, for 80,000 taels of silver for Emperor Taizu. The inheritance has been worth at least 200,000 taels. How can such a national treasure be given to others? Oh my God, I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty."

As he said that, Tian Yuan actually sat on the ground and started to cry out loudly.

Jiang Xia shook her head secretly in her heart, thinking that Lord Tian’s play is a little too exaggerated, right? A bad review!

Although Tian Yuan's play was exaggerating, it still shocked the translation and Leheke.

Leheke whispered to the translator what was going on. Jiang Xia heard the translator say to Leheke in Mongolian language: "This is the beloved thing of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is priceless. The Ming ministers are reluctant to send it out. According to my estimate, this thing is worth at least 100,000 taels of silver."

"Hundreds of thousands of taels?" Leheke looked at the translator in surprise, looking in disbelief, and he whispered: "How can such a thing be worth so much money?"

The translator whispered to Leheke: "General, you don't know anything. This thing is an antique in the Central Plains, and has been passed down for hundreds of years. Such things are often priceless in the Central Plains."

Leheke finally understood this time, nodded and whispered: "Please hold it up, you must not cause any damage."

"Yes." The translator responded and stood behind Lehke with the chamber pot in his arms.

Then Jiang Xia pulled out a painting scroll from the carriage and unfolded it. He saw a picture of "The Chicken Eats Rice" on it.

The brushwork was so immature that it looked like it was created by an unknowing child. Jiang Xia showed the picture to the translator and said with a proud look: "Do you know whose masterpiece this is?"

The translator actually wanted to say that this was the creation of a little brat, but he guessed from Jiang Xia's expression that this painting must have its extraordinary features.

The translator looked at the painting carefully, and Yang Yiqing, who was standing at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Xia seemed to be fooling the tribute ambassador, but where did he get these things?"

"Some of them were dragged from the kiln factory, and some were collected from the Imperial College. He originally advised him to go to the street to find a painter to buy some paintings, but he thought those paintings cost money, so he was unwilling to do so." Li Dongyang whispered.

"Just like that, how much is his estimated silver?" Yang Yiqing couldn't help asking.

Yang Tinghe pulled the corner of his mouth aside and finally said: "Ten thousand taels"

"Ten thousand taels? Is he treating the tribute ambassador as a fool?" Yang Yiqing couldn't help but whisper in surprise.

Yang Tinghe said angrily: "I haven't finished talking yet. That ten thousand taels refer to silver, but gold."

"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Yang Yiqing felt that Jiang Xia must have been crazy.

But at this time, the translator suddenly shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent: "Yan Liben! Is this Yan Liben's painting?"

Jiang Xia reached out and patted the translator on the shoulder, looking at him with admiration: "I have insight."

In fact, what is insightful is nothing more than that he deliberately wrote the three words "Yan Liben" in the lower right corner of the painting, waiting to be discovered by this translation.

Jiang Xia said: "Yan Liben, a painter in the early Tang Dynasty, was known as "a painting of ten thousand gold". His "Steping the Celestial Arts" is even more known as "a thousand gold is not easy". However, this "Chicken Eats Rice" is the first painting he drew in his life when he learned to paint at the age of seven.

Its significance and value are not comparable to it even the "Steping and Celestial Map". This painting was accidentally obtained by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and then it was carefully sealed and brought into the tomb to bury it.

Later, the imperial tomb of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stolen, and this painting was reappeared on earth. I thought that most people would not recognize this as the original work of Yan Liben, but you didn’t expect it to be seen at a glance. Master! You are definitely a master who is proficient in calligraphy and painting!"

The translator was praised by Jiang Xia, and his chest was immediately raised. He pretended to be modest and said to Jiang Xia: "You are welcome, I just understand the surface."

Jiang Xia looked at the translator suspiciously and shook her head, "Highly, the real person does not show his appearance, we understand."

The translator whispered to Leheke: "General, this is a rare treasure. It is worth at least ten thousand taels of gold."

"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Le and Ke's excited breathing was a little disordered.

He endured the excitement in his heart, hugged Jiang Xia with a touching look on his face, and said, "Mr. Jiang is so polite. I have already felt the enthusiasm and sincerity of the Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Xia nodded and handed the painting to the translator.

Before the translator could reach out to answer, Jiang Xia raised his left hand slightly.

The civil and military officials immediately looked heartbroken and shouted loudly: "Master Taifu, if you send this out, you will become a criminal minister of the Ming Dynasty. That is the treasure of the Ming Dynasty's country."

At this moment, the censor Feng Jingli walked out and spat in front of Jiang Xia, cursing angrily: "Traitor! You are ashamed of being with you!"

After saying that, Feng Jingli shook his sleeves and left with great strides.

Jiang Xia commented in her heart: "Well, Feng Jingli's play is pretty good. She just now had two simple lines, and her anger and disdain in her heart were all shown. The action of swaying her sleeves when she left pushed her emotions to another level."

The translator whispered to Leheke: "General, I think Lord Jiang should have taken out all the treasures collected by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. So now the officials of the Ming Dynasty are very angry.

Otherwise, we should not check it one by one, take the things and leave first. After leaving the capital, we will find an valuation for insiders."

Leheke also saw that the atmosphere on the dam was a little wrong. According to Jiang Xia, this was a thing of ten million taels of silver.

Even if Jiang Xia exaggerates, it will be worth at least five million taels, right?

How could I make a big profit when I went to the Ming Dynasty this time? If the Ming ministers united to repent, I would probably have to spit out the meat in my mouth.

Thinking of this, Leheke had already made a decision. He said to Jiang Xia, who was taking out the third item: "No need to say anything about your country, we have deeply felt the friendship of your country. The weather is getting late, so we will take our things on the way first. After returning to China, I will definitely convey your country's friendship to us Khan."

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "General, although I have been under a lot of pressure this time, I believe that my efforts and efforts will not be in vain. I hope that our Ming and Yili will continue to be friendly."

Leheke was also ashamed. He had deceived others so many treasures and had some sincere feelings, but the sound of war in China was getting louder and louder.

Leheke couldn't help but say to Jiang Xia: "Let me remind Lord Jiang, any situation may happen, please be careful."

Jiang Xia nodded heavily and said sincerely: "Good friend, I wish you a good journey!"
