Chapter [-] Big Business

Make trouble, fail, make trouble again, fail again, until perish-this is the logic of the Tubo domestic movement towards the prosperous and powerful Tang Empire.They will never violate this logic.

The spring offensive that Tubo tried to launch in Tuyuhun was once again stifled by Cheng and Su. The place where the Tibetans swept.

The representatives of the Tuyuhun peace talks became tough again, and the envoy of the Tubo Prime Minister adjusted the negotiation strategy appropriately in response to the failure of the offensive, emphasizing that everything that happened on the front line was a small misunderstanding, which belonged to the differences in ideas and understandings between the two confronting parties. And the unexpected incidents triggered by it, and made small concessions on the issue of compensation and troop withdrawal, promising that the above-mentioned large-scale conflicts will not recur.

I have become numb to the good news from the northern front, and every time a small change can make the negotiation table rise, I am already annoyed.It can be seen that the negotiators of all parties are still very serious, especially the Tuyuhun delegation, which is a victim, is doing everything they can to strive for the best interests at the negotiating table to compensate their devastated motherland.

I can't, it's as boring as knowing the ending before the movie begins.Different from the mentality of the representatives of Tubo and Tuyuhun, the Tang Empire delegation led by Li Yifu did not expect any brilliant negotiation results when they were not criticized by the outside world. One more day of turmoil in the domestic situation in Tubo would give the Tang Empire time to strive for a more favorable strategic position.

It was originally a good thing, and anything that is in the interests of the country is a good thing, but it would be too dishonest to drag me into it. When I was asking Teacher Gao about the key points of upland rice planting, I was summoned to the negotiating table, which is simply murdering my youth.

On the wine table, leisure activities of singing and dancing are always arranged at the end of each meeting.I euphemistically expressed to Li Yifu that I have been busy with official duties recently, and it is difficult to escape, and I pointed out that unless it is a decisive meeting, there is no need to attend frequent meetings like this. The food, vegetables and fruits come to be well-off and so on.

Li Yifu was very pleased. First, he praised my great, noble, and selfless spirit of international feudalism, and then from the side criticized my poor health due to my sleepless nights and busy schedules.Promise that I will never disturb my schedule again as a last resort.Then the two raised their glasses to wish the great leader Red Sun Li Zhi a long and boundless life... Of course, out of etiquette, before leaving, they also greeted the artists who performed at the banquet, and expressed their gratitude to the foreign female artist who led the dance. With deep respect.

"There is no decent person!" Lan Ling is quite self-confident, and especially feels good about her figure, and the last thing she wants to see is a person of the same sex who is more handsome than her. "Why don't you tell your mother-in-law about this?"

"Oh," this question has been bothering me, and the same thing is said on Lanling's side without any scruple.But when he got home, he became serious, as if he had never made positive parity with other women in front of Ying and the second daughter.After pondering for a moment, "Is it caring, does it mean that we are childhood sweethearts?"

"It's really shameless." Lan Ling smiled and slapped, "I won't talk to you. Remember, let the shopkeeper of Nanjinchang talk to the steward of my house. I don't want to talk to you about these things."

"That's great!" He rushed forward and gave Lan Ling a few hard kisses, "Take it as if you don't agree. It made me spend so much effort on planning. If I had known it, I wouldn't have wasted so much energy."

"I'm too lazy to compete with you on money, since you don't do it once or twice, this time you can win me." Lan Ling twisted a few times under me, and stretched out his arms to wrap my arms around me, "I'm here There is a Zhuangzi set up next to Fenghui Canal, and they will move there tomorrow, and they will go to my side next time."

Fenghuiqu, the one that flows up from my Zhuangzi is called Fenghuiqu! "East or west?"

"It's right above your house. Damn it! The first Zhuangzi who got off Maling, hehe..." Lan Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed two fists at me, "What are you happy about?"

In this way, it is more convenient to find Lanling. It is only a few steps away from my house, and it is less than four miles away. It forms an equilateral triangle with Wangjiazhuangzi and Chengjia Nature Reserves. ,

Bai Juyi mentioned in his pipa practice: She said that she was originally a girl from the capital, and her family lived under Xiamaling.Few people know about Xia Maling.But mentioning Hama Mausoleum is indeed a household name.But there has never been such a thing as Hama Mausoleum in the Guanzhong area.In fact, Xiama Mausoleum and Hama Mausoleum are said to be the same place, which was originally the mausoleum of Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty.Just because the Guanzhong dialect pronounces the sound of "toad" when saying "get off the horse", it has been rumored for thousands of years, and a toad mausoleum has been created for no reason.

"Then you will become a neighbor. Whose good land have you taken?" Xia Maling is surrounded by rich and prosperous villages. It is rumored that Dong Zhongshu's favor was there, even when there was a severe drought in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no bad harvest there. Self-proclaimed, in a place that has been rich and prosperous for thousands of years, there are all literati and poets in a radius of more than ten miles.

"There was such a small Zhuangzi, it was originally the property of my master," the Lanling thief smiled, "I exchanged Baqiao's Zhuangzi with him, and he got a lot of money."

"Don't tell me, I'll trade with you. My Zhuangzi in Qishan is not small, how good is it?" It's a bit of a loss, the Zhuangzi on Baqiao is so good, it's big, flat and has a beautiful view, it's farther away than Xiamaling.Lanling is not a material for real estate. If it is a fake replacement mallet, Ying will be crazy to covet the riverside real estate one day. There are even small melon seeds here.

"Okay, I still want to get closer to you. If the Yun family's real estate was not annexed by your family, I would find that girl to exchange it." Lan Lingbai glanced at me, "See if your wife has the ability to give it to me." Rush to the wasteland to dig ponds."

"Don't come here before it's too late, there's not enough money to mess around. No one is fuel-efficient, should I hit you or scold her?" Fortunately, Ying took down the Yun family decisively, or if Lan Ling really got it... the consequences would be disastrous.Be a neighbor and don't get too close to members of the royal family. If Lan Ling comes, Ying will definitely miss the good times when the Yun family was here, and then suggest that I flee with my family.

"You have a conscience, you know how to hit me," Lan Ling turned over gently, and put it on my face comfortably, "I won't serve you today, and I have to order them to move some things. Ming's new home will be fine. Come here to accompany my concubine." He gently pushed me away.Feeling unwilling again, she stuck it up and kissed her twice, then rolled aside with a smile and adjusted her dress. "Wait a minute," seeing that I got up to leave, I stepped forward and called to stop, "I showed you something." As he spoke, he opened a small drawer of the long cabinet and took a paper bag and handed it over.

It was opened inexplicably, and a small bag of irregular crystals appeared to be scraped from somewhere with a tool.Pick up a scum, put the palm of your hand and look at the sun, interesting, "Glass?"

"Like it?" Lan Ling leaned over and imitated me to pinch the light to see.

Squeeze the largest piece and put it on the bluestone board to smash it. There are no regular crystals, not like crystals and other naturally formed crystalline minerals. Show off?"

"Really?" Lan Ling looked surprised, and put away the paper bag.At the end, he still didn't forget to wrap up the broken bits on the bluestone board, "Are you sure?"

"Idiot!" Wen Lanling asked for a glass bead, took a hammer and slammed it a few times, twisted the scum and handed it over, "Bibi. It's exactly the same. If you don't believe me, try smashing a few gemstones and see the difference. "

"Always be like a connoisseur," Lan Ling compared the scum for a long time, rummaged through a jewelry box, took out a piece of high-end gemstone that he didn't know, picked up a hammer and smashed it randomly.Gemstones are gemstones, harder than glass, and hard to smash. "The edges and corners are really different."

My heart aches, there is no need to destroy such a valuable gem because of a piece of rotten glass, judging by the size, I am afraid that it will disappear in just a few minutes, so let Lan Ling pull it aside.Wrap the torn baby with a towel, fortunately, it is big enough, and the broken particles are enough to inlay several rings.Except for making rings for a few women close to me, I have never seen anyone else wear this thing, maybe it is not fashionable in this era.

"Since you know what to do, why don't you ask?" Lan Ling pointed to the paper bag wrapped in glass slag, "Is it okay to come up with an idea?"

"I don't understand. You have to work hard to study it." I was good at chemistry in high school, and the book mentioned the principle of glass manufacturing.Forget it, that's fine.

"It was picked out of a porcelain kiln." Lan Ling cast a dissatisfied glance, "I usually love money so much, but I always shirk when it comes to serious things."

"Elder sister, you have already dug it out, why do you still ask me? There are only a few things in the construction of a porcelain kiln, and the sand is soiled. You don't use it to arrange and combine it and burn it a few times before you know it?" Stupidly ,so stupid.IQ is not as good as the ancient Egyptians who like to marry close relatives. "Also, I won't participate in your development stage, but if the development is successful, you have to ask me to sell it as an agent. It's agreed, and you can't go back on your word!"

"Die!" Lan Ling pushed me angrily, "Lazy!"

"Hey, you messed with you, don't rely on me to find shortcuts, you're just on the threshold and you're just one step in, you should be lucky." On the soft couch in Lanling, there are so many related ancient firing glazes, and even Glass craftsmanship, when I first came here, I saw her transcribing the formulas of glass firing from the Eastern Han Dynasty classic "Lunheng", such as melting five stones into a utensil, smelting in three days, and Tiancheng Yicai, etc. These are all ancestors experience left behind.

The technology of firing colored glaze has been circulated in China for more than a thousand years, and the theory of glass has appeared many times. It is said that the real glass should have come out after such a long time.But the unworthy descendants don't seek out the truth, and buy those junk products from foreign savages at high prices. Let alone the hard work of the ancestors, this kind of bad behavior should not appear in the so-called Great Tang Dynasty.

"Where is the sense of responsibility gone? The ancestors burned half of them, and if you run away, you will regress? What about the kidnapped foreign technicians? It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it yourself. Let's learn, let the teacher destroy it, who dares to say we Are you a student? Just know how to buy, the ball is at the bottom line, and it goes in with one kick. Ask me to sell it on behalf of me, and I will wait for your glass products." No, we should also have the aura of not being able to say no It's over, it's a shame.To make Lanling feel ashamed of his ancestors if he doesn't burn out the glass, he must inspire and convince others with virtue.And profit from it?

Lan Ling nodded frequently, approaching with a shameful look, but when I thought she was about to admit her mistake, she suddenly punched me in the stomach, and then whispered softly in my ear: "The old ancestor can't forget himself, the foreign technology of kidnapping The staff will soon arrive in the capital, I will ask you if I don’t know how, and if you don’t know how to do it, then don’t put on airs. In short, I won’t ask the Wang family to sell it on my behalf. When I move in tomorrow, my stomach won’t hurt, I will blame myself The allusion starts with you, you have to learn the lesson."

"Oh," nodded, clutched his stomach and walked away despondently.

"Husband, don't you want some?" The Yun family netted a lot of shrimps when they cleared the pond.Picking a large place to give away two baskets, fried golden in warm oil, Ying has recently become obsessed with this food, there are always a few in the small bowl, "You usually like to drink, today I have reserved a bowl for you."

"Oh, I'm inconvenient today." Lan Ling hit the ground very carefully, and the pain stopped.Not hungry either.Next time, let her go to the disaster area and punch her alone to solve the big problem and save the country a lot of relief supplies.

Ying covered her mouth and smiled, and put the crispy shrimp in front of her. She took a wine glass and filled it up and handed it to me, "It doesn't taste good if you are not in front of me during the meal. Eat as much as you want, and have a glass of wine to appetize."

"Oh," too.Not eating at the dinner table made everyone unhappy, so I took a cup and drank it, the effect was good, I squeezed a shrimp and threw it in my mouth, it was delicious.Also strange.Not hungry doesn't affect appetite, it's fine if you eat it, and your appetite doesn't decrease. It seems that Lanling ordered the acupuncture point of not hungry?

I am eating happily.The fourth child ran in, pinched a shrimp and threw it into his mouth, "Brother-in-law, you go to the dew workshop to see, that Tubo stinky man has come running again, and he wants to see you if he doesn't buy anything."

ah?Didn't you tell that smelly man to get the goods directly from Jiannan?Traveling to Chang'an after trekking mountains and ridges, is there such a boring businessman?Quickly ordered: "Prepare the bath water, and Ying will avoid it when you come back. The second daughter will serve you."

The stinky man looks very arrogant, and the smell is still the same, but this time he is dressed more gorgeously, all kinds of valuable gold and silver jewelry are hung all over his body like a display stand, and he brought a few Tubo guards with big arms and round waists, all of them are stupid Sitting around the stinky man, it looks like passers-by owe them money.

The fourth child pointed all the way, "Brother-in-law. Go support me. I'll go back to eat." After speaking, he turned around and ran away, very disrespectful.

Did not pull the car.Still dressed so conspicuously, could it be possible that you miss me as an old friend when visiting relatives and friends?Vigorously took two deep breaths to accumulate enough oxygen, and stepped forward with a smile on my face to make out with my old friends. Even I admired my courage, I am so brave.

Lawang Maozan was still the same, seeing me coming, he kicked away the guards around me and rushed forward without waiting to open his mouth.

"Why are you here at this time? Now should be the best time to do business. Going to Chang'an will waste a lot of income!" The manager of the dew water workshop was assigned by the old four. After coming up, the person who greeted me disappeared immediately.

"Visit old friends, visit old friends on a special trip!" The stinky man is still heroic, lifts the jug and pours it into the glass without saying anything, pours a few sips into his mouth before handing it to me. "Chang'an is good!"

"Okay, okay!" While he wasn't paying attention to wipe the spout of the jug with his cuff, he poured him a cup first, and then pretended to pour me a cup.Could it be that the rich Tubo people are also interested in traveling in mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles in spring and coming to Chang'an for vacation? "Specially for playing and visiting friends?"

"Yes, visiting friends!" The stinky man picked up a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and took a sip of wine, "Come and see my old friends, and come and see the village that once brought me endless wealth."

The smelly man seems to be a literati, at least he has the potential. "Then stay a few more days and walk around."

The stinky man nodded happily, "Not only that, I also have a good deal that I want to discuss with Brother Wang. If you have money, you can earn it with your good friends!"

"Oh?" It's a good way to say it, with loyalty, at least it's loyalty, I don't know what business he wants to discuss with me this time.In fact, I really like to do business with stinky men. I don’t have so much attention to status and etiquette. It’s very happy to bargain for money and goods. It would be perfect if he didn’t have that smell on him.He said with a smile: "Then we have to make money together, talk about it!"

"Food," the stinky man yelled as he ate without any scruples, "no toilet water, as long as you allow me to pull food from your country, you can do whatever you want. I found out that Brother Wang is the great Saqian (tribal leader) of Tang State ), as long as you allow, it is not difficult to pull food!"

According to the title, I may be considered a small samurai, but the old samurai did not have the guts to work in the Tubo grain trade. He knew foreign countries and bought the country for glory. Notoriety, even if the government doesn't punish you, the disdainful eyes and general saliva around you can make your life worse than death.

"No, I can't do this. Brother, you should earn the money yourself." Refused, made up his mind, since the stinky man came here, there is no reason to make friends with him, so as not to hurt Chi Yu.After this meal, he hurriedly drove him away, and he did not hesitate to let the second lady come to force him to drive him away.

"Cowardly person," the stinky man gave a contemptuous glance, "I know your reputation, I can pay you first, just ask!"

"Oh, no." Ban Xiayan shook his head, put down his chopsticks and prepared to go out to call for someone.

"Then I'll see your Highness Princess of the Tang Kingdom!" Seeing my change of expression, the stinky man threw down his chopsticks in dissatisfaction, "I inquired in Jiannan, and the one who does the most business in Tubo is your Highness Princess, take me to see her !"

"A joke!" Flicking his sleeves, he sneered and said, "Did you see it?"

The stinky man saw that I turned my face as fast as I turned the book, and felt a little uncomfortable, "You shouldn't have this expression among friends. I came to see her on behalf of Duoling Sanbu. Don't look down on her! It has nothing to do with Tubo, you have to help me. "
