Chapter 186: Menglang

Di Renjie's character is a middle-aged handsome guy, he is the first Wenchen in Wu Zetian's Great Zhou, and he has become the prime minister twice in history, honest and upright, which can be said to be the conscience of the Great Zhou - even if the Tang Dynasty is restored, he will also posthumously give the titles of "Da Sikong" and "Liang Guogong".

"I wonder what happened to the Holy Monk coming?"

Di Renjie brewed a cup of coffee for Yan Luo.

This is not Di Renjie's non-mainstream, but the surrounding resources of Shendu, and he didn't find tea leaves, only coffee - he also asked Li Yuanfang to step aside, open a drawer and take out a few pieces of dark chocolate, and put them on a small ceramic plate as a snack for guests.

Source: Cocoa.

Yan Luo picked up his coffee, took a sip and checked the life source of the Heroic Soul clone at the same time, he had consumed a lot of it in a hurry, but after entering the city, there were players and NPCs everywhere, each of them sucked a little, and the loss had been replenished - in fact, even now they are absorbing the lives of the people around them, but they are only very small, so Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang will not feel that the life is -1, -1......

"I'm here this time to represent the leader of the Atlantean civilization: the Chinese boss and the Great Zhou to develop friendly trade."

Yan Luo took out the talisman and then took out the fiery red coral tree more than a foot long from it: "This is a gift for Empress Zetian." ”

"In addition, both coral and pearls are a specialty of Atlantis." Yan Luo grabbed a large handful of pearls, all full, smooth and round.

These two are top luxury goods in ancient China! However, Di Renjie is a virtuous minister after all, and he doesn't value luxury goods, so he just glanced at it and said, "What do you want to develop trade?" As the prime minister, he understood that the trade he was talking about was not to open trade routes, but to exchange their own resources.

"You Da Zhou, what resources do you have?" Yan Luo asked.

There is no need to hide this.

"The location of the Shendu is near the Pyrenees in a riverside hill, with coffee, cocoa, copper mines, stone, and in addition, the eastern part of our branch city is built on the Hulunbuir steppe, with cattle, sheep, and horses."

Wu Zetian has divided the city so soon?

"Atlantis wants copper mines."

"Oh?"

Di Renjie's IQ is not low, at least much higher than Wang Situ, and he said quietly: "You Atlantis lack copper mines...... In this way, it is impossible to enter the Bronze Age, but copper ore is an important strategic resource, and it is not possible to exchange pearls and corals. ”

He's clearly driving down the price.

Yan Luo made a smiling expression: "Master Di, you don't need too much copper to open the metal smelting technology. ”

"The use of copper is not only to open metal smelting, but also to make metal weapons." Di Renjie also said with a smile.

"Atlantis is on an island cut off from the mainland, we don't need bronze, we will forge iron directly later - we have iron ore."

Di Renjie picked up the pottery cup, scraped a layer of foam floating on the top with the lid, and took a sip before saying slowly: "The use of copper is not only for weapons but also for coinage, and a country cannot develop without currency." ”

"Atlantis has no copper, but there is gold and silver."

"Really? Copper was a necessity for the manufacture of cables in the electric age. ”

Clearly, the prime minister is very good at negotiating.

Yan Luo was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke, "Atlantis has sugar and salt. ”

Di Renjie put down the pottery cup he picked up.

The most important food resources for a civilization are not rice, wheat, and fruits, which can be grown even if they don't have them, but sugar and salt! Sugar can increase happiness a lot, and the lack of salt is terrible! Not only are civilians dissatisfied, but even the combat effectiveness of soldiers will be reduced.

"Salt and sugar, if these are the two things, can't they be exchanged for copper ore...... We can develop a long-term trade route out. ”

"Copper mines alone are not enough." Yan Luo said.

"Hmm...... We have a strategic resource: horses. ”

"There are grass and mud horses, what do you want horses for? Besides, Atlantis is an island country, and if you don't want to send cavalry, you just want to send cavalry...... We also have elephants. "Yanluo counts Treasure Island, Trade Island, and Kauai all in his territory - although the other three islands have not yet begun to be built.

"If, Lord Di can push Atlantis to form an alliance with the Great Zhou and Egypt......"

"Can you tell me about your country?" Di Renjie said.

Now the game doesn't start for long, players are doing tasks around the city, and no one will wander too far in the wild, after all, there are barbarians, as well as dangerous animals such as wolves, lions, and tigers. In the Bronze Age, after the player changes to a metal weapon, the range of motion becomes larger, and Atlantis will definitely be able to poke out.

So Yan Luo didn't hide it, and gave a brief description, Di Renjie thought about it again for a while, and felt that an island civilization was not a big threat to the Great Zhou.

Moreover, Atlantis is too rich in resources.

"I'll take you to Her Majesty the Empress now."

The diplomatic venue of Da Zhou is very simple, after all, this is not modern, there are no reporters and no flashing lights, in a simple stone house, wooden tables, stools, the only eye-catching thing in the room is a miniature marble statue on the table.

Shangguan Wan'er beside Wu Zetian was not there, nor were the three sturdy men carrying the sedan chair in Cleopatra, and the two queens didn't seem to be discussing the alliance, but meeting in private.

Since there are no outsiders, the two empresses can also show their true colors without wearing masks.

Cleopatra scolded: "Dido's slut, I originally issued a declaration of friendship with her, the day before yesterday, Napoleon's team of soldiers drove to my city to plunder, I sent troops to fight with him in anger, Dido's slut sent an army over, I thought it was to help, but together with Napoleon, if I didn't resist with my own hands, the farm would have been destroyed!" ”

"Carthage has nothing to worry about, I am willing to conclude a treaty of friendship alliance with you to resist this enemy together." Wu Zetian's political intelligence is extremely high, Cleopatra is a natural barrier for her, once she is destroyed, she is not afraid of Dido, and it is Napoleon who is really on guard!

The French civilization in the rise of civilizational powers had two leaders, one was the Sun King Louis XIV and the other was Napoleon.

Needless to say, Napoleon's historical status was extremely popular throughout Europe!

Qin Shi Huang has great charm, but there are too many leaders of Chinese civilization, and some of them have been diverted, and there are 60,000 players under Napoleon! There are only three leaders of the Egyptian civilization, one is Ramses II, one is Tutankhamun, and the other is Cleopatra, and there are many players under Cleopatra, more than 18,000, but compared with Napoleon, it is too far behind.

Wu Zetian felt that once the war started, Da Zhou was not Napoleon's opponent, and Da Zhou's current two neighbors were Cleopatra and Dido, both of which were barriers.

But Dido, this woman, seems to be mentally abnormal? Don't you know about the united against France? Still is...... She took refuge with Napoleon?

"Your Majesty, Chen Di Renjie asks to see you."

"Come in." Wu Zetian knew Di Renjie's character, and if there was nothing important, it was impossible for him to come and disturb him when he met with foreign leaders.

"The minister brought the envoy of the Atlantean civilization."

While Di Renjie was speaking, he walked into the room with Yan Luo.

"Is that you?"

Cleopatra noticed this beautiful man who had entered the capital of the gods and saw before.

"Ahh

Wu Zetian's gaze was fixed on Yan Luo's face, and in an instant, the empress seemed to be stunned by a point.

"Menglang?"

This word came from the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, and Yan Luo happened to know it, so he hesitated for a moment and responded tentatively: "Menggu? ”
