Just when Li Anran couldn't help but complain that he didn't know how to get something new, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion suddenly reported that a guest had come to visit.

Seeing that another time and space is also the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran, who is somewhat greasy, is not in a hurry to pass.

It's just that the space-time portal will pass the information to the exploration team at a fixed time, so that they can further collect the information of that space-time, especially the Datang of that space-time.

With Li Anran's own understanding of himself, he knows very well that this space-time landmark will definitely not be so simple. But what is going on will take some time to figure out.

Seeing that time is still very rich, it is natural that he is not in a hurry to leave this time and space.

After hearing that a guest was visiting, he first gave a good command to carry it out, and then came to the hall in the front yard to entertain guests unhurriedly.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or something else, but this visitor is not alone, or to be more precise, it doesn't belong to the same place.

According to the housekeeper's previous report, there were two groups of guests who visited this time.

One group is from the Dengzhou Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and the other group is the Dengzhou government officials who are responsible for receiving foreign maritime businessmen.

If you really want to talk about it, the level of these two guests is not high, and there is no need for Li Anran, a family member, to appear to receive them.

The reason why the housekeeper reported it was just to let his master know about it, and he didn't think that his master would be interested in receiving it in person.

It didn't take long for Li Anran to enter the hall in the front yard surrounded by the housekeeper and two personal guards.

After seeing those two guests. Li Anran felt that whether it was the government or the chamber of commerce, the façade work was good.

At least the two people who came to visit are very good in terms of appearance alone, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as dignified.

"Li Anran, a remnant of the Qin Dynasty, is belatedly looking at Haihan." Li Anran, who hugged his fists and saluted, said with a smile.

I have to admit that having a good skin does have many benefits.

No, although the gift just now seemed a little casual and frivolous, it became chic and uninhibited in the eyes of the two visitors.

Although it is not possible to confirm the specific identity of the person in front of him, it is only the large Galen ship parked in the port of Dengzhou. There is also a steady stream of cargo being carried down from the ship. It is enough to show that the person in front of him must have an extraordinary background.

Regardless of whether he is the one who is the maritime chamber of commerce or the other person in the government, he has been mixed in Dengzhou for so many years, and there is still no problem with his eyesight.

Not to mention that such a large Galen ship is the first time to enter Dengzhou. Wrong. It should be in the territory of Datang.

Just those goods that are huge in quantity and variety. By the way, there is also the seemingly casual and rude, but the uninhibited posture that makes people not have the slightest idea of anger. It shows that the identity of the person in front of him is not as simple as it seems.

With this school newspaper acquaintance, the two will naturally not be stupid enough to take on any identity.

After a harmonious communication, the reason for the visit was made clear.

The purpose of this visit from the Maritime Association is very simple.

Since Li Anran is a maritime businessman on the surface, it is natural to involve matters related to business and sales.

Although no one knows what kind of Great Qin Kingdom is in, it is enough to have that large shipload of goods.

After the establishment of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, the greatest use is to coordinate the purchase and sale between maritime merchants, such as the exchange of goods, the development of new routes, and so on.

For this requirement, Li Anran, whose mind is not on buying and selling at all, is naturally indispensable.

Directly call your housekeeper to you and let the other party deal with these trivial things in business.

For such an arrangement, the clerk of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce would not be despised in the slightest.

Just kidding, you can buy this mansion for so much money at will, and it has an extraordinary origin.

Such a person is not something that a small clerk can offend, not to mention that the status of the housekeeper is not low, even if he sends a subordinate to entertain him.

After the housekeeper took the clerk of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to discuss specific matters, Li Anran quickly learned the other party's intention from the official's mouth.

If it's just an ordinary maritime businessman, even if it's a foreign maritime merchant who hasn't appeared in Datang yet.

After entering Datang, you only need to register the relevant identity, origin, and the variety and quantity of the goods.

At most, it is a process of checking the identity to confirm that it is not a dangerous person, that there is no contraband and so on.

In addition, the various laws and regulations issued by Dengzhou against maritime merchants will also be notified in place, so that you don't know what mistakes you made when you are arrested in the future.

But Li Anran's situation is very different, who asked him to take on the name of a part-time envoy in addition to the identity of the maritime merchant of the Great Qin State.

No matter where the Great Qin State is, no one knows how strong the national strength is and how big the territory is.

But even if there is only one country with a small island, appearing on the territory of Datang as an envoy, it will be paid attention to accordingly.

And this time, the officials who came to the door just wanted to confirm the situation of the Great Qin State, so that the next work could be completed more smoothly.

For such a request, Li Anran, who had already built the Great Qin Empire, naturally had no reason to hide it, and immediately asked his attendants to take a sea chart made of the skin of an unknown animal.

If you want to talk about such a thing as a nautical chart, it is not a rare thing in Datang.

In the past 300 years of development, the waters near Datang have long been explored.

Not to mention the inhabited islands, even the uninhabited islands are also recorded on the shore.

However, this kind of nautical chart is not available to ordinary maritime merchants.

After all, having an accurate chart means that you can avoid a lot of risks and earn more benefits at the same time.

From a military point of view, once this accurate chart leaks out, it also means that war is likely to come.

It is said that more than 80 years ago, the Tang Dynasty fought a fierce naval battle with the navy from Arabia.

Although the final result was a draw between the two sides and the signing of an agreement on maritime trade between the two countries, it did not mean that the war between the two countries would not be ignited again.

Even with the authority of this official, he is not qualified to look at the accurate chart that is firmly in the hands of the Tang royal family.

However, as a department specializing in foreign maritime business, it is not uncommon to see a variety of nautical charts on weekdays.

But when the huge chart taken out by the attendant of the Li Mansion was almost one person high, and slowly unfolded, the official who came to visit was immediately stunned.

There's no way, who made this chart in front of him not only exquisite to the extreme, but also the lines marked out by looking at the graphics above, obviously belonging to the top category.

What's even more surprising is that the place where the Great Qin Empire is located is actually on the Australian continent at the bottom right of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason for the surprise is not that no one knows about the Australian continent, on the contrary, this continent has long been recorded by the Tang Dynasty's charts.

But it is precisely because of this that it is even more surprising, because there has never been any Great Qin Empire on this continent.

Well, as an official of the relevant department, this also knows that the overseas situation in his hands is not perfect.

So after just a little surprise, I buried my doubts in the bottom of my heart.

After indicating the continent where the Great Qin Empire was located, the Li Mansion's entourage showed various certificates that a country should have, such as a document stamped with the jade seal of the Great Qin Empire.

Of course, as a diplomatic envoy, it is definitely not enough to just have a clerical master.

No matter how small your country is, you have to show a little sincerity to a greater or lesser extent, such as your own specialties.

For this point, Li Anran, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not really take out a little special product as a gift, which would also be too much of a loss to the identity of the Great Qin Empire.

So after the relevant formalities were completed, the official who came under the command of Honglu Temple was directly dumbfounded by the thick gift list.

When you figure out that the items on the gift list are just some specialties, they are not real gifts. The real gift list is directly engraved on a flawless jade, which is even more confused.

There is no way, as a low-level official, even because Dengzhou Port is one of the important ports of the Tang Dynasty, what he usually sees and hears can be regarded as some knowledge.

But after seeing the content recorded on the flawless jade, I couldn't help but have a very intuitive understanding of the strength of this Great Qin Empire.

Strong! Very strong! (To be continued......)
