Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 964

The first thing that good jade pays attention to is fineness and fine texture.Then there's the level of crystal clarity.Finally, look at the color, it is not necessarily a pure color, but there are many things to pay attention to.

Only a corner leaked out, that one is full of green...

Beautiful, too beautiful to describe.

Almost every lady looked at the posts from a very close distance, and someone suddenly said: "There are rumors that Liu Concubine said that the top one is called the Supreme Glass Emperor Green. I don't know if this counts."

It doesn't matter whether it is or not, this is the first piece to be cut right now.

Such appearance makes all the noble ladies go crazy like they have been beaten with chicken blood.

In the evening, only more than 100 stones were picked out from the high platform, and we will continue tomorrow, but none of the noble ladies in the square in front of the Taiji Hall planned to go home. Thicken the tent, they don't leave, they are happy looking at the pile of stones.

I was even more afraid that if I left, the stone would be gone tomorrow.

As for the part of Changsun Wugou, the impurities of the outer skin have been completely removed, and the material of a bracelet has been cut off.

It was only roughly polished, and even Li Shimin was shocked by the perfect jade.

Even if Li Shimin cares that the land is higher than the stone, it doesn't affect his own love for jade, especially when he heard that Changsun Wugou was the first to pick a stone and cut it and suspected that it was the best, Li Shimin trotted to the front hall. square.

Compared with the piece of Changsun Wugou, Dugu Lanruo's piece is worse, but it is also better than the ones in Liumu's previous collection.

There was another piece of similar grade to Dugu Lanruo, and it could be even bigger. It was picked out of a seemingly ordinary black-gray stone by the old lady of the Du family in the south of the city.

Putting that piece of jade, Li Shimin thought more about the influence of this kind of treasure on Datang.

Especially the price offered by Liumu, stones and silver are compared by weight, isn't it a bit too harsh.

Right here, a noble lady is asking Concubine Yang to come over and speak with eldest grandson Wugou.

Concubine Yang said to her eldest grandson Wugou: "Sister, someone wants to buy your bracelet cutting material for forty gold, and plans to make two more jade plaques besides the bracelet."

Without waiting for eldest grandson Wugou to speak, Concubine Wei immediately interjected, "Who is so stingy, only forty gold, in my opinion, the one that is buckled from the bracelet, less than one hundred gold is not sincere."

As soon as Concubine Wei said it was far away, Concubine Yan De came to intercede on behalf of her sister, asking for 120 gold for this bracelet
"[-] guan, just for this one piece." Li Shimin gave his eldest grandson Wugou a wink after feeling emotional, and his eldest grandson Wugou said that he would accept one hundred gold, and this piece was transferred.

Such a piece is only equivalent to about [-] to [-]/[-] of the whole piece of jade that Changsun Wugou had.

In other words, Changsun Wugou's piece of jade was worth one hundred thousand guan before it was made.

The [-] guan is exchanged for banknotes of later generations, worth [-] million.

Concubine Wei Gui added another sentence: "Saint, shouldn't the supreme emperor's green be a rule that people outside the royal family are not allowed to use it?"

"Go and make a proposal. But don't worry about it too much this time, not to mention that I don't know if this piece is the Supreme Emperor's Green. How about this, after taking Yushan, I will allow you to take the most important part of the palace and Chang'an. 100 top jade craftsmen accompanied Princess Changping to Jade Mountain to come up with grading standards for the jadeite case in the shortest possible time."

"Thank you saint." Concubine Wei Gui was so moved that she almost cried.

Not because of going to Yushan, but because she finally left Chang'an to see the world for the first time.

The eldest grandson Wugou also said: "Don't think it's an easy job, you have to bring enough guards, and this time you also want to take the young prince to see the world of Great Tang."

"Yes, obey the queen's order." Wei Guifei expressed her understanding.

In the early morning of the next day, the stone gambling was still the same. Some people produced a pure stone, and some produced ordinary-looking jadeite.On the third day, two top-quality pieces appeared astonishingly, one surpassed that of Dugu Lanruo, and was very close to the one held by Changsun Wugou, but unfortunately it was too small, only the size of a fist.

But for the lady who offered this piece, she fainted on the spot.

The other one is purple, white and green, and the texture is excellent, but because it is three colors, people discuss whether the grade of this piece is high or low.

Li Shimin stopped court for seven days on the grounds that the Tai Chi Hall was occupied.

In fact, Li Shimin was working in the Ministry of War. The mountain of silver coins allowed Li Shimin to fight a grand battle and win the Six Edicts. This is the most important foreign war plan of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty next year.

Within three years, the entire Indochina Peninsula to the territory of the Tang Dynasty cleared away some unsettled existence.

Li Jing glanced at the approximate data on the silver coins piled up in the square in front of the Taiji Hall and said, "It's easy to do things with money, I thought I would start preparing [-] sets of light armor right now, and [-] sets of crossbows would be shipped immediately, and ordered the Ordnance Department Work overtime, and strive to prepare another [-] pairs of light armor before the last batch of supplies is shipped."

"I have a different opinion." Du Ruhui stood up: "The Ordnance Department should allocate its strength to strengthen the strength of the Mogadishu Ordnance Workshop. More importantly, expand the six courtyards. The little Liuzhao, like Liu's son-in-law As I said before, it’s already a tiger fighting a rabbit, so why should the tiger be fully armed?”

Li Jing immediately retorted: "The soldiers are out, and more preparations are the best choice. What if Tubo sends troops?"

"Wenyue Pavilion is watching day and night. Sending troops is not an easy task. It will be too late for them to send troops to the southwest to force a transfer. Now we should think about it five years later. Tianzhu must be fought. It is the established national policy of my Tang Dynasty."

"I still think...

What both of them said was reasonable, and the one cared about the current strategic layout, and there was no room for any mistakes.One cares about the development of the next five years, or even ten or 15 years.

Li Shimin said suddenly: "I never mentioned a word in a small chat."

"saint?"

All the courtiers turned their heads to look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "He said that Datang should implement a new model. The first is convenient transportation. The first step of this convenient transportation is the distance between twelve o'clock. I asked Huayuan Workshop about the latest steam locomotive in Yigong Workshop. , under the condition of ensuring the railway, we can reach Yanzhou City in twelve hours."

Li Shimin added: "Of course, these twelve hours mean non-stop along the way. There are many big state capitals along the way, and it is impossible to stop, so adding the stop time, you can reach Yanzhou in sixteen hours. of."

"Let the sage speak clearly." Du Ruhui didn't understand what Li Shimin was talking about at all.

Li Shimin stretched out one hand and opened it: "Five capitals, that is, the Tang Dynasty needs five centers of culture, economy, trade, and politics. The other four centers can be reached from Chang'an in a day and night."
