After Hemar left, Xuanzong looked at the civil and military ministers on the left and right of His Majesty Dan, and asked: "The envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire want to use their heavy armor technology, horse armor technology and horse training technology in exchange for our dynasty's weapon manufacturing and What do you think of the crossbow manufacturing technology?”
Li Linfu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, compared to the Eastern Roman Empire, the civilization level of our Tang Dynasty is obviously much higher than theirs.
This is all the result of your Majesty's rule.
Moreover, the Eastern Roman Empire is ten years away from us.
Eighteen thousand miles, separated by the nine surnames of Zhaowu and the Dashi Kingdom, even if they get the technology of our dynasty, they cannot threaten us, the Tang Dynasty. , and they are also the enemies of the Great Food Country.
The Great Food Country has been provoking the authority of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions over the years.
As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
From this point of view, we should agree to carry out technical cooperation with the Eastern Roman Empire.
In exchange, wouldn't it be great to let the Eastern Roman Empire deal with the big food countries, while our country concentrates on dealing with the small surrounding countries?"
At this moment, Prince Li Heng gritted his teeth and stood up to salute Xuanzong and said: "Father, I am opposed to exchanging our dynasty's weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology for the armor technology, vest technology and horse training technology of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Because in the In terms of these technologies, the technology of the Tang Dynasty is no worse than that of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Why should we trade leading technology for the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire?
Later technologies, they have no effect on us.
The grudges between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Great Food Country have nothing to do with our Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, the borders around our country are unstable.
Being on good terms with the Eastern Roman Empire is tantamount to being at odds with the Great Food Country.
We The DPRK is having a hard time dealing with Tibet and the Turks in the north, and if it turns against the big food country, it will make things even worse."
After Prince Li Heng finished speaking, officials from Li Linfu's line stood up to refute.
Officials from the Prince's line were also not to be outdone.
It was really up to you to sing and I to appear.
Xuanzong was so noisy by these ministers that he had a headache.
Seeing Zhao Ziliang taking a nap there comfortably, his heart suddenly moved and he immediately shouted: "Zhao Ziliang, you were very eloquent when you talked about the Eastern Roman Empire.
Now tell me, should I change it?"
Change" When Zhao Ziliang heard Xuanzong calling him, he had to stand up and salute: "Your Majesty, there is no need to consider this matter at all.
Our dynasty's weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology are unique to our dynasty and are not available to any other barbarians.
We, the Tang Dynasty, rely on these technologies to He created sharp weapons and powerful crossbows, making our army of the Tang Dynasty invincible.
We are invincible, and the technologies that the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire proposed for exchange just now are not what our Tang Dynasty urgently needs.
If we exchange them back, they will be of no use at all, and it will be a pity if we don’t use them.
This is simply useless and tastes meatless. , it’s a pity to throw it away, so what do we do in exchange for it?
And as far as I know, the Eastern Roman Empire The situation is not as dire as Hemar said.
They will never lose to the Great Food Country in a short time, so there is no need to consider the saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
They are mortal enemies.
With or without me, Datang, They will fight each other to the death, and if we switch with them, he will demand that we are not guilty.
By releasing Galolin, this move of theirs can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Their purpose of sending an envoy to our country is not pure.
They actually want to steal our technology, which is definitely sinister.
If they are just and aboveboard in asking to exchange technology with our country, we It's still possible to consider it, but they chose to take such extreme measures, which is unforgivable."
"Your Majesty, our civilization in the Tang Dynasty has a history of several thousand years.
Many technologies were successfully developed by the wise men of the past who spent their entire lives working hard.
Some technologies were even developed by our predecessors at the cost of their lives.
To name two For example, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs and obtained the Shen Nong's Herbal Classic.
His whole body was filled with poison and he almost lost his sex because of it.
Fate, this is the earliest drug classic of our Chinese civilization.
Later generations will use this as a basis to understand pharmacology and learn to prescribe the right medicine to treat diseases; also, the general Mo Xie even threw himself into the fire in order to build a peerless sword.
These skills are left by the predecessors.

The priceless treasure given to us, if we just give it to others casually, wouldn’t it be a national treasure?
Aren’t the sinners the sinners of history?
To put it bluntly, Tian is sorry.
If we lose such precious technology, future generations will never forgive us, and we will also leave a heavy stain on the history books.
Please If Your Majesty Mingjian really wants to trade with them, Wei Chen thinks we can use some of the technology from the previous dynasty to match theirs.
Change, the technology of the previous dynasty is not as advanced as the technology of our dynasty, but it is not too bad, but we cannot ask for armor technology, vest technology and horse training technology.
We want their sea ship manufacturing technology.
If they bring it, Then use the technology of the previous dynasty to replace it.
If they don’t have it, then don’t change it.
Otherwise, our dynasty will suffer a big loss.”
These words were too serious.
Xuanzong felt that if he used the latest weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology to exchange with the Eastern Romans, he would become a criminal in history.
Of course, other ministers would not dare to stand up and take the blame.
Who is the minister in the DPRK?
Not paying attention to reputation, let alone the notoriety that may be recorded in history books Xuanzong was a little hesitant.
He was a face-loving man.
Now that the Eastern Roman envoys came to him, he couldn't save his face, so he said to Zhao Ziliang: "The Eastern Roman envoys have come to me to ask for help.
If I don't agree to give him If we change them, wouldn't it seem that I am too petty?
The ship manufacturing technology of the Eastern Roman Empire that you just mentioned is really very good.
Could it be that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty can't build it?
Why do I think the ships of our dynasty should be okay?"
.
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the ships built by our craftsmen are suitable for sailing on inland rivers.
Once they go out to sea, they will not work.
The wind and waves on the sea are too big.
Inland ships cannot adapt to the huge waves on the sea after entering the sea.
It is easy to The ship was destroyed and people died.
Our dynasty has naval forces, but these naval forces can only operate in inland rivers and offshore waters, while the Eastern Roman Empire had A specialized naval fleet can conduct long-distance voyages on the sea.
This kind of ship-building technology is not available to our craftsmen.
For example, ships sailing from Japan to our country meet five times out of ten. was overturned by wind and waves, but if it was a naval battleship of the Eastern Roman Empire, such a problem would rarely occur.
As for what His Majesty said, if it is not replaced, it will appear Your Majesty is very petty.
In fact, His Majesty's concept has not changed.
Maybe in the eyes of His Majesty and other ministers, gold, silver and jewelry are the most valuable things in the world, but in the eyes of the ministers, there is money to be made if the gold, silver and jewelry are gone.
We are back, but the skills to build the sharpest weapons cannot be earned back.
Our ancestors have been consuming hair and blood since the very beginning.
Nowadays, we wear gorgeous silks and satins, eat exquisite and delicious food, read books, and use the sharpest weapons.
Thousands of years of accumulation have gone through, and countless generations of predecessors have accumulated wisdom.
These are definitely not money.
What can be measured is the most precious wealth of our dynasty.
Even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, these skills must not be sold."
Xuanzong felt a little irritated and felt that his face was not good-looking.
He waved his hand and said to Gao Lishi: "Send someone to tell the Eastern Roman envoys that weapons and crossbow technology are the best in our country and will never be sold.
Let them give up on things that cannot be exchanged."
"No" Gao Lishi quickly agreed.
Zhao Ziliang stood up again and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Galolin and Sakai Ryuichi already know most of the process of manufacturing weapons and crossbows of our dynasty.

This can be seen from the fact that they copied those techniques in their own native language.
Come out, please tell me what to do with these two people."
Xuanzong looked at the civil and military ministers and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
The ministers all looked at each other, and finally the prince gave a wry smile, stood up and saluted: "Father, when things have reached this point, I'm afraid it's impossible not to kill the two of them.
If we keep them, no matter whether we continue to lock them up They still let them go.
Our weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology are very impressive.
Can leak out, only by killing them and then strengthening the confidentiality of the technology can we prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
As for whether it will cause the problem of diplomatic relations between the two parties, this can be ignored for the time being.
After all, they have evil intentions and violated me.
The law of the court comes first, so it is natural for me to kill them both."
Zhao Ziliang said at this time: "Your Majesty, please leave this matter to Wei Chen.
Let Wei Chen go to see Na Hemaer.
Wei Chen will make him willing to accept this result and it will not affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries." .
Xuanzong pondered for a moment and then agreed, nodding: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you.
Qing Honglu Temple will go with you.
Zhao Qing, after you finish this matter, come see me.
I have something to tell you." ".
"promise" Zhao Ziliang and Honglu Temple Minister came to the embassy together.
Hemar was very happy to see Zhao Ziliang and Honglu Temple Minister.
He welcomed them into the embassy and sat down.
He also asked the attendants to bring tea, and he couldn't wait to ask: " You two are here, has your country’s court made a decision?”
Zhao Ziliang and the Minister of Honglu Temple looked at each other, and then Zhao Ziliang said to Hemar: "Yes, Your Majesty the Envoy, I am really sorry.
Our court has decided not to sell weapons and crossbow making skills, nor to exchange them.
If The purpose of your visit this time is just this, so we can only disappoint you.
If the envoy has other purposes besides this purpose, we would be willing to listen."
Hemar was indeed very disappointed, but he immediately began to care about Carolin and asked: "What about Carolin?
What are you going to do with him?
He is a member of our mission.
Can't His Majesty the Emperor of your country pardon him?"
Zhao Ziliang spread his hands: "I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do about this matter.
Galolin is the main planner and executor of stealing our dynasty's weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology.
He must be punished.
He will be beheaded in public.
As for the envoy, we I hope you and others in your mission never If you have thoughts and plans in this regard, it will be very dangerous and will cost you your life.
I hope you will remember this.
We in the Tang Dynasty do not want to be enemies of the Eastern Roman Empire, but please do not actively provoke us or touch us.
Our bottom line is, otherwise, we will never be polite
