Chapter 882: Curious Li Er (Page 1/1)

The steak made by Zhang Nan won unanimous praise from Li Er, Empress Changsun and Li Liqian.

The amount of food consumed by Empress Eldest Sun and Li Lizhi was not large, but under the temptation of the food made by Zhang Nan, the steak on the plate was also wiped out, and there was no meat left.

On the contrary, Comrade Li Er ate unhurriedly, and while eating, Comrade Li Er and Zhang Nan discussed the issue of the visit of the envoy of the Great Food.

"Qingquan, how do you think about this policy on big food? Xuanling and Wuji have both handed over their notebooks, you don't have any news yet, don't patronize and play, the envoy of the big food will arrive in two days. Comrade Li Er asked after taking a sip of red wine from his cup.

Comrade Li Er naturally does not only rely on Zhang Nan's lone seedling to live, when encountering major events, Comrade Li Er generally likes to work together, and Zhang Nan also belongs to one of Comrade Li Er's think tanks.

And Lao Li's job is to collect the opinions of his think tank, plus his comprehensive consideration, and finally give an answer, this is Comrade Li Er's work.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister dares to guarantee that there is nothing big for this big food envoy to come, and it is even more difficult to let the big food learn our three outlines and five constants than to ascend to the sky. In the end, they will still focus on business, and we just need to make sure that we don't lose money in business. Zhang Nan said disappreciatively.

"Oh? Are you so sure? Li Er was also very strange when he saw Zhang Nan's confident appearance.

When Zhang Nan heard Comrade Li Er's question, he hurriedly swallowed the beef in his mouth, and then said: "The minister is so sure, do you remember that the emperor still remembered that the minister told you that this big food is a religious country." ”

Li Er nodded after hearing this.

"I remember, but I'm also curious about this big food, what do you think they believe? Is it the Buddha or what? You can't believe in Sanqing like we do. Li Erdao.

Zhang Nan shook his head, and then said: "No, there is only one god in their country, that is Allah, and they believe that everything in the universe was created by Allah and is the master of all things in the universe at the same time, just as we believe that everything was created by Nuwa." ”

Zhang Nan naturally knew that man evolved from apes, but now if Zhang Nan told Comrade Li Er's ancestor that he was actually not Lao Tzu, but a monkey, Zhang Nan felt that Comrade Li Er was likely to hang him on the city tower to dry.

Therefore, Zhang Nan also found a statement that Comrade Li Er was more acceptable.

"And such a strange thing? As the so-called Zi is silent, strange and chaotic, do they rely on this to govern the country? Comrade Li Er was puzzled, and although Comrade Li Er was not an atheist, Comrade Li Er still found it difficult to understand the use of religion to govern the country.

After all, although the mainstream thought produced in ancient China occasionally included gods, such as the Mohists, its theoretical basis was definitely not based on gods. They are all human-oriented, extremely realistic ideas.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the Chinese to accept the concept of a concretized god, and it is even more impossible for such a god to dominate the life, society and even the country of the Chinese.

Whatever the thought, it claims that the process of realizing the ultimate ideal social state of the theory, such as Confucian Datong, requires only human effort, not the power of God. Such ideas of a hundred schools of thought laid the ideological foundation for the atheism of the Chinese.

Therefore, Li Er felt that it was difficult to understand the way of religious supremacy in the Great Food Country.

Zhang Nan also understood what Comrade Li Er meant, but Zhang Nan really didn't know about religion, as a materialist, Zhang Nan didn't believe in these things, and the only thing Zhang Nan believed in was science and technology.

"Your Majesty, there are still differences between this person and people, some people believe in Buddhism, some people believe in Taoism, and some people don't believe in anything, this is all normal, and the same is true for countries and countries, Your Majesty, you just use him as a means for rulers to control the people."

"Well, it seems like that's the only way to explain." Li Er nodded.

"Then what do you think is the best trade between Datang and Dashi?" Comrade Li Er also had a little selfishness at this time, and under Zhang Nan's constant chatter, Comrade Li Er also knew the importance of blockade technology at this time, that is to say, Comrade Li Er did not want to teach foreigners things unique to Datang, even if he wanted to give it, he would only give the finished product and not the steps.

"This is a lot, but the minister thinks that the best thing we want is crops, because we send a fleet to the sea, without exception, we want to get crops that Datang does not have, and the risk of doing so is not small, and now we can trade with each other, it must be the most profitable crop, and the rest of the things, the minister really has nothing to like." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Zhang Nan is also telling the truth, although the current Datang will not claim the title of the Celestial Empire, but the scientific and technological level of Datang does not know how many grades ahead of the surrounding countries.

Except for things that are not available in Datang, as long as they can be made by manpower, Zhang Nan can't look down on them.

In the Silk Road, when Westerners introduced to China, the most valuable thing was glass, and it was glass that didn't burn very well, so Zhang Nan would naturally not be stupid enough to let Westerners exchange glass for things.

Zhang Nan only needs seeds, except seeds, nothing else, of course, it's okay to give gold, no gold, no silver, no silver, then use the land in exchange.

"Just the seeds? Well, what you said makes sense, after all, our Datang is not much worse than his big food, so it seems that only seeds are the most suitable. So if we want seeds, what do you think Dashi will want? Comrade Li Er asked.

"When they ask us what they want, it's definitely something they don't have, and it's hard to say what it is, but there's one thing they'll definitely want." Zhang Nan said with an affirmative face.

"What?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Silkworms." Zhang Nan is still very sure about this.

"Silkworms? Do you mean the silkworm that spun silk? Li Erdao.

"That's right, it's it, this little thing is a treasure, our silk can be sold for one or two silk and one or two gold in the Western Regions, but it's all thanks to it, so profitable, I don't believe that this big food will not be tempted, after all, the places that our Datang can go to now are limited, if they get silkworms and the method of raising silkworms, their location, they can continue to sell silk far away." Zhang Nan said.
