12dz Chapter 278
Chapter 278
Everyone knows that there is a country next to ours that is very good at stealing our traditional culture, such as calling Chinese medicine Korean medicine.
Another example is stealing our Spring Festival and claiming it is their country’s traditional festival.
[They even stole an ancestor for themselves. They were clearly in the Three Han region, but they insisted that their ancestor was Goguryeo.]
[However, what they stole was culture, while two countries stole our economic interests.]
Daqin
Qin Shi Huang was filled with surprise. He thought that Xiao Han was too shameless. Why did he steal everything? Didn't their country have any traditional culture?
"Father, this little Han is within our sphere of influence. It should be easy to deal with them, but the other two countries are probably extraordinary. If they stole less, they probably wouldn't be talked about so much in the future."
"Well, I want to see which dynasty is shameful."
Tang Dynasty
Li Zhi felt that he had gone too easy on Goryeo. He had never imagined that later generations would be so shameless. At the same time, he was also somewhat curious about the other two countries. If they were neighboring countries, he wouldn't mind taking care of them.
……
Silk, porcelain, and tea have always been major exports of our country, especially silk, which saw its value multiplied dozens of times in the Roman Empire to the west.
[Of course, we didn't earn all of this money. Persia, which stood between my country and the Roman Empire, also earned a share.]
[Later, when the Roman Empire wanted to produce silk itself, it went to Persia and learned that this material came from further east, and they didn't know how it was produced.]
[After asking the prophet, I learned that it was related to a kind of insect on a tree.]
Later, after the Roman Empire reached India, they sent two monks to my country to steal silkworms. They hid the silkworms inside bamboo poles and secretly brought them out of the country.
[It was probably during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when the world was in chaos, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.]
However, perhaps due to acclimatization issues, the silk produced by silkworms after arriving in the Roman Empire was still somewhat inferior to that produced in my country, so silk products will continue to be imported.
[What they produce themselves will be sold to those further west.]
Daqin
Qin Shihuang felt that the emperors of later generations were extremely incompetent. Just look at the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the various countries were fighting each other, but they still suppressed the surrounding ethnic groups.
Everything is in your own hands.
Northern and Southern Dynasties
The emperors of the north and the south accused each other, believing that the other side had leaked the technology, and they asked the literati around them to write manifestos, scolding the other side as a sinner.
A few ministers who knew a little about the affairs of state felt that this was definitely not acceptable, and began to write letters to people at the border, urging them to strictly investigate those coming from foreign countries.
Especially those who carry bamboo poles.
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Di was so angry that he screamed in the palace. These Westerners were so shameless that they actually stole silkworms. Did they think they were a small country?
what?
You said why condemn Luzon.
It is a small country and should pay tribute to a big country like us. Chen Zhenlong has done nothing wrong and he should be praised by having a statue erected.
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong stroked the celadon bottle in his hand with a scornful smile on his lips. It was indeed not good during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Look how powerful his Qing Dynasty was.
With so many missionaries coming here, our dynasty has not lost anything.
……
[In addition to silk, tea was also stolen by foreigners. They planted it in India and quickly seized the Chinese tea market.]
The incident occurred in 1848. The East India Company, which had long coveted the interests of Chinese tea, arranged for a Scotsman named Robert Fortune to steal tea seeds and seedlings.
After arriving in Shanghai, Fu Jun disguised himself as a nobleman and wandered around the tea-producing areas without the local officials even asking him questions.
[In just three months, he obtained more than 10,000 tea seeds and learned how to grow tea.]
The tea plantation owners who gave him tea seeds and taught him how to make tea probably didn't realize they were cutting off their future generations' financial resources. Even today, the largest tea company isn't Chinese.
[However, in terms of quality, they are indeed inferior, but their prices are cheaper. ]
big man
Emperor Wu of Han cursed the Qing Dynasty, which was a rubbish dynasty. Tea trade was a very important project. Couldn't they even control it?
It’s not as good as the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
At least when the Romans stole the tea, they arranged for someone to come quietly. The person who stole the tea was named. I'm afraid the British have also publicized it.
I don’t know what the porcelain looks like, or whether it has been stolen by anyone.
Song Dynasty
Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty sat powerlessly in the palace. Ever since Tianmu called him one of the ten most incompetent emperors, he could no longer manage the court. So he abdicated early and handed power to the next emperor.
But after looking at the sky today, he felt that he had something to say to the next person. There are still many foreign businessmen in the south, so he must hold on to the technology.
If it were gone now, the country’s finances would probably be ruined, and then we would not be able to stop the Jin people.
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong threw the celadon bottle in his hand hard to the ground. Judging from the year, it was during the Daoguang period. How could the Qing Dynasty choose such a person to be the emperor?
Opium could not be stopped from entering, and tea could not be stopped from being stolen. Were these officials in later generations just sitting there doing nothing?
It allows foreigners to roam around.
At this time, we must also keep a close watch!
The tea merchants during the Daoguang period felt like the sky had fallen. They never expected that they had caused such a disaster. They had just looked at the information searched by the anchor, and it seemed that a movie was made about this incident later.
I don’t know whether my real name was mentioned in it. If it was, I would probably be infamous for eternity.
I must have been blinded by greed to give tea seeds to foreigners!
What should I do? There must be a way to solve this problem.
……
After carefully observing Fu Jun's theft of tea, Qi Cheng smiled and said, "According to the information, the stolen tea seeds were not brought back to Britain, but were planted in their colony of India."
"It should be in Assam, India. No, the data shows that they first cultivated tea and noodles in the British Concession in Shanghai, and then sailed to India."
"Tea seedlings are supposed to be quite delicate. I wonder if there are any insects in Shanghai that like to eat tea trees."
……
After watching the video, Qi Cheng remembered a recent news report that said a thief from Han had stolen the sauce-making process, but then he turned around and found that his Korean clothes had also been stolen by the general from the north.
It will be called North Korean clothing from now on.
Although information is developed nowadays, there are still foreigners who come to steal things. It is said that some come here to collect blood under the banner of the United Nations.
There are also people who come here for the various delicious foods. After learning how to cook, they go back and use local ingredients, and it becomes a local delicacy.
