Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 442
Although Datang was brewing a crisis, overall, it was quite calm.

Especially since the Chinese New Year is coming, except for the corvees who are working in the Vientiane Shrine in the cold wind, other people are busy, but they have sorted things out more or less.

As for Li Tai's efforts to get the corvees to rush to work, it was because they rushed to work these days and could finish building the Vientiane Shrine before the new year.

When the time comes for the Lantern Festival to let Li Shimin board, he will forget about one thing.

Of course, it was also winter, and Lu Chengji was sent as the envoy of King Wei to go to Goguryeo to find Yuangai Suwen.

In the past few years, the trade between agricultural colleges and Goguryeo has become more and more close. Lu Chengji, a wealthy family in Youzhou, is Li Chunfeng's assistant in managing Youzhou.

So it was not the first time that Lu Chengji came to Goguryeo, but as the Lu clan of Youzhou, Lu Chengji was more or less a little bit troubled by the task assigned to him by the imperial court - to reach a tacit understanding with Yuan Gai Suwen in the name of King Wei.

Lu Chengji was naturally not a fool, this thing was an order from the imperial court, and it was obvious that the imperial court was calculating something.

It's just that his position is too low, and he doesn't know the complete plan of the court.

But Lu Chengji knew very well that if he did a good job in this matter, then Li Chunfeng or Liu Rengui would be transferred away, and it might be his turn to take charge of Youzhou, but the premise was that he could go back alive.

"It's true that Tianjin and Goguryeo have been in business for many years, and the gifts I brought are true, so there's no doubt about Mo Lizhi!

"I heard that ginseng invigorates qi and velvet antler invigorates kidney. Tang pharmacists can turn this into a miraculous medicine for invigorating yang. After eating it, it can protect hundreds of girls at night! I think the king of Wei needs it every day!" Yuan boy replied.

All in all, Lu Chengji accomplished the task very well and reached a tacit understanding with Goguryeo.

"At the beginning, the Great Sui Dynasty was defeated under my Goguryeo city. If the Great Tang Dynasty wanted to try it, why would I be afraid!"

After Yuan Gai Suwen actually entertained Lu Chengji the next day, the trade between the two parties continued very smoothly.

Anyone who entered the inside and looked at such a scene would feel somewhat dazed, as if they were really in the realm of the gods!

Although they have always wanted to express their national self-esteem in Goguryeo.

"King Wei... the King Wei who founded Tianjin?!" Yuan Gai Suwen knew Li Tai's name clearly.

"Of course!" Yuan boy replied hastily.

Lu Chengji said, "If Mo Lizhi doesn't want to accept King Wei's kindness, please kill me and wait until the war between the two countries resumes!"

Seeing Lu Chengji's departure, Yuan Gai Suwen was somewhat puzzled and said, "You said... the king of Wei really wants to befriend us?"

All kinds of voices came in an endless stream. After everyone saw the true appearance of the Vientiane Shrine, they felt that it was not like a building in the world.

"You said, they want to collect so much ginseng, what are they doing with deer antler?" Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but wonder.

"Boy, I don't know very well!" Boy Yuan said, "But the gift he brought is real, and the king of Wei has been doing business with us all this time, so nothing has changed."

It has to be said that this poem is naturally a rescue masterpiece of King Wei.

Although the guy in front of him is indeed an abnormal person, but behind him, there is a powerful Datang.

They always feel that because such a building wants to be built, they are afraid that they will have to start with thousands of dollars, and there will be no ceiling.

After Lu Chengji saluted, he proudly followed his servants to the posthouse to rest first, without saying anything more.

But it was Li Tai who actually installed the stained glass on the outside walls...

Therefore, the windows are detachable, ensuring that a new batch of glass of the corresponding color is replaced directly every year, making it more and more transparent and smooth, which is more or less a test of the glass process.

Needless to say, the paintings and calligraphy decorated in this room, the silk and satin on Yuan Gai Suwen's body, and even the sharp sword in front of him all have the style of the Great Tang Dynasty, even from the Great Tang Dynasty.

If it wasn't for the fact that Tianjin was not a town built by the king of Wei, and it was even more closely related to the trade of Goguryeo, do you think anyone in the entire Tang court would really care about Goguryeo except the king of Wei! "

As for transparent glass, it has also been researched, but the technology is not good, and the cost of burning transparent glass is still too high.

As long as the food can finally fall on his own Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen doesn't care whether it is traded from the king of Wei or collected from the people.

However, Yuan Gai Su Wen is considered a soldier in power, although he also attaches great importance to food, but he does not care about how the food comes from.

After all, the food sent is real, and the goodwill of King Wei is real, but if some Tang people get lost in Goguryeo, the idea of ​​sending troops to Goguryeo for a while is also very reasonable, but at that time King Wei didn’t care. No!

"Yes! King Wei congratulates you on becoming Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, and hopes to further increase trade with Goguryeo!" Lu Chengji said calmly,
"I hope to buy a lot of special products such as jade, ginseng, deer antler or fur from Goguryeo.

At the beginning, they only listened to how fast and efficient the corvée under King Wei worked, but they never noticed any problems.

It is not impossible to make a deal with this person if it can save Emperor Tang from attacking me, Goguryeo!
There will be a banquet tomorrow, let us reward the envoy of King Wei, and send more ginseng and deer antler to nourish the Yang of King Wei!

Lu Chengji smiled calmly, "When Mo Lizhi said he wanted to kill me, I naturally believed it. But what good does it do if Mo Lizhi kills me?
King Wei didn't want the change of Goguryeo's throne to affect the normal trade between Tianjin and Goguryeo, so he suppressed the Tang Dynasty's call to take the opportunity to attack Goguryeo.

But now this building is used by King Wei to honor Li Shimin...

No matter whether it is a bit uneven or not, no matter whether there are impurities or not, it is enough to open the eyes of people in this era.

For example, Datang bought unlimited ginseng antlers at all, and they also had the Datang copper coins, and they could easily buy grain from Datang, even these grains were cheaper than the grains sold by their own farming.

Unknowingly, when passers-by pass by, they can't help but look up, wanting to see what's on the top!
But until a few days before the Spring Festival, the weather was very clear. When people passed by this building on this day, they suddenly saw a group of buildings shining with colorful lights breaking into everyone's field of vision.

However, after reaching a tacit agreement with Tang Jun, Yuan Gai Suwen finally let go of his mind and began to clean up the opponents in Goguryeo in an orderly manner.

In order to show his sincerity, King Wei even sent food and silk to congratulate you on becoming Mo Lizhi. "

Even I couldn't help but have a thought, does such a palace really belong to me?

But when I was killed, Goguryeo lost your only ally in the Tang Dynasty, and what you have to face is the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty! "

But now watching this huge tented palace made of linen and bamboo rise day by day, in less than a year, this Vientiane Shrine has been built.

I don't know why, but they feel pain from the bottom of their hearts, how much money did it cost!
Li Shimin looked at the Vientiane Shrine covered with iridescent glass in front of him. He didn't know why even though he, as an emperor, had seen strong winds and waves, he couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the building in front of him.

"Miracle, it's really a miracle!" "Is this the wonder that King Wei is building?" "I can't even imagine it!"...

Originally, Li Tai wanted to change it to Weihe River, but after thinking about it, of course the Yellow River should be used, the Yellow River is so majestic!
Moreover, the Weihe River can also be regarded as a tributary of the Yellow River. It is naturally no problem to say that it is the Yellow River.

However, it is Yan Lide's design that really brings these materials to the extreme, and the joint efforts of Wang Zhenru and the entire craftsman and corvee.

"You are not afraid that I will kill you, all these things you brought now are mine!"

On the contrary, these colored glasses have colorful colors from a distance, but the light transmittance is not enough when viewed up close.

It has to be said that the combination of glass and architecture, when it first appeared in front of everyone, it really blinded everyone's eyes.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengji became more confident.

"You are the envoy of the Tang people!" Yuan Gai Su Wen casually looked at Lu Chengji and said contemptuously.

In addition, the top floor is actually built according to the standard of a greenhouse, and almost all the transparent glass in Li Tai's hands is used. What stands out is that it is transparent but warm, and it can also plant out-of-season flowers in it.

Through this trading port, they introduced all kinds of luxury goods from Tang Dynasty into Goguryeo, thus changing their lives.

To be honest, compared with transparent glass, colored glass is much easier to make. According to the addition of different proportions of materials, it is often possible to adjust the glass of the color you want.

"Your envoy came all the way from thousands of miles away, why not go to the post house to rest first, we, Goguryeo, will carefully consider the request of your envoy!"

To be honest, neither Yuan Gai Suwen nor Yuan boys noticed the food transportation that Lu Chengji said.

After all, only this floor of the whole building is the real shrine, so it is natural to use reality to highlight the magic!
Of course, after the unveiling of the Vientiane Shrine, there was also a five-character poem accompanying the Vientiane Shrine:
"The Yellow River flows into the sea in the daytime. If you want to be a thousand miles away, you can go to the next level."

But when this self-esteem encountered the luxury goods derived from the Tang civilization, it was completely shattered.

These censors looked at the rainbow-like buildings in front of them, but they couldn't accept it for a while.

It has to be said that this Vientiane Shrine is not only a manifestation of the efficiency of Li Tai's corvees over the years, but more importantly, he has smashed the glass for so many years, and he has achieved corresponding results more or less.

By the way, tell the emissary to include the prescription of the miracle medicine in the terms of the conversation! "

"I am the envoy of the King of Wei!" Lu Chengji was determined, but at the moment his demeanor was lingering and fearless.

If a normal civil servant is in power and hears that the other party can deliver food, why should he ask.

Lu Chengji entered the room, and looked at the burly man who was sitting upright in the room.

"Why did the envoy of the King of Wei say such angry words!" Yuan Boyan, the son of Yuan Gai Su Wen, came out to mediate,

The skin on his face had some obvious scars, and the rough tiger's mouth was covered with thick calluses. When he looked at him, the evil spirit revealed made Lu Chengji's heart shudder. He didn't want to die here!

While the interior of Goguryeo was turbulent, the interior of Datang was also counted as the last winter before the storm.

Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and purple are arranged in front of everyone in order like a rainbow, especially when the sun shines, these lights become so dazzling at a glance.

As for food, there is a steady stream of food at the docks every day, and it is much lower than other places.

This caused the common people to see the profit, and decided to dig ginseng next year. Anyway, Goguryeo has a lot of ginseng, and it can even be weighed by the catty.

Facing Lu Chengji's words, Yuan Gai Suwen snorted coldly, slapped down the chopping board heavily, and said: "But if someone is willing to be friends with my Goguryeo people, we Goguryeo people will not make friends difficult, but I don't know if this friend is Sincerely and sincerely!"

After all, Li Tai built Tianjin and at the same time allowed Goguryeo to open the treaty ports. This matter may not have much impact on Goguryeo's internal economic structure, but it has a great impact on Goguryeo's upper class.

"Mo Lizhi would like to see you, so you just come here!" The waiter soon notified Lu Chengji.

After all, these people have been working all these years, not to mention becoming master craftsmen, but as long as they make their requirements clear, they can build this building with their own hands.

"Huh?" Yuan Gai Suwen said with some understanding when he heard what Boy Yuan said,
"In this way, I kind of understand why the king of Wei didn't want to cut off the deal with us, and even bought a lot of them!
It seems that although King Wei has some talents, he is just a hungry ghost after all.

Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Lu Chengji and said disdainfully, "As for King Wei, he is far away in Tang Dynasty and can't control me!"

So Lu Chengji thought about a lot of words, but found that there was no need to use them at all.

This Vientiane Shrine was finally completed before the Spring Festival, and the work efficiency of continuous work in three shifts day and night really frightened those important court officials who relied on corvee for construction work.

Relying on this five-character poem that shines through the ages, and this rainbow-like building, the Vientiane Shrine and the poem "Climbing the Vientiane Shrine" have become the subject of discussion throughout Chang'an, and everyone looks up from time to time This towering building.

At least for all Tang people, seeing such a building appear in Chang'an City is naturally an indescribable pride!

But at this moment, Li Chengqian couldn't help gnashing his teeth while listening to the poem written by Li Tai and looking at the towering buildings:
"If you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level." "If you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level." "If you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level."...

"Qingque, you really covet my crown prince! Then don't blame me for not being a brother!"
