Chapter 609: Glass for Grain and Grass?

The reconstruction of Chang'an has been stalled because of next year's disaster relief. However, this is not to say that Chang'an has been deserted. On the contrary, between the rivers and rivers everywhere, hundreds of people are in full swing to install water intake equipment such as cylinder trucks and overturned cars after receiving the Ma family's silver salary, along with the old craftsmen of the Ma Arsenal.

Among them, the hardest working person is Comrade Zhou Maitian. I saw that he was either measuring the water level or choosing a point to test, and naturally the most was that he was so angry that he used his grappling hand from time to time to throw a few clumsy guys into two pieces.......

However, none of these things involve Weiyang Palace. Especially when the Li family in Jinyang and the Guan family in the Western Regions arrived in Chang'an and saw the palace that symbolized the century-old majesty of the Han Dynasty, Ma Chao felt that even if he had no intention, he would also lose face to the Han family: there was no other reason, it was because Ma Chao not only built the palace like Boss Cao, but intensified the demolition of the Weiyang Palace!!

Ma Chao's idea is that there will be an earthquake next year anyway. And now the situation of Weiyang Palace is also in a semi-crippled state. Therefore, Ma Chao simply did not do anything, and directly demolished Weiyang Palace to build a large number of thatched huts and semi-bunker sheds, in case the earthquake came, the victims had a temporary place to stay.

And you can imagine what a great infrastructure project the housing plan for one million people is, and how much wood, masonry, and tiles are needed? At this time, every grass on the ground is an extremely valuable resource. Ma Chao had no choice but to hit the idea to Weiyang Palace.

At the end of the third year of the first peace, on the day when the new year was less than ten months. The Great Han Hussar General, Yongding Hou Ma Chao, and His Excellency Ma Mengqi quietly ordered, towering over the land of China for hundreds of years, the sacred totem of the Han people, the eternal pride of the descendants of China, standing in the center of Chang'an City, Weiyang City broke ground in an all-round way, 100,000 Ma Jiajun all participated in this historic destruction work, in addition to the Deyang Hall and the monk Shutai, and the city wall defense and other fortifications were retained, the other palaces were dismantled within a few days, and countless bricks and stone tiles were continuously transported out and handed over to the disaster victims outside the city construction team, Under the organization of Zhong Xuan, they established an outpost settlement along the Ma family military camp.

And the reason why it was built next to the barracks was naturally to ensure that when the catastrophe came, the stability of the Sili area was the first priority!

Of course, this kind of thing that was poked in the backbone by the world, Ma Chao was not stupid enough to do it openly. In the days when the Weiyang Palace was demolished, the Ma Jiajun was in strict accordance with the requirements of the hussar general, starting construction in the starry night, and going out at night. Moreover, Ma Chao also plans to wait for the Ma family to successfully resist this difficulty, and then use the research of cement bricks and other high-tech materials to repair the Weiyang Palace, so as to save it from being as it is now, with gold and jade outside and ruined in it.......

And the most unfortunate thing is that at this time, Ma Chao ushered in the Guan family, who came from afar in the Western Regions, and the Li family, who also came from afar, but they were also Hanmin.......

When these two heads of the family were introduced to Ma Chao, they were greatly shocked by the desolation and emptiness of Weiyang Palace along the way, and were deeply amazed by Ma Chao's generous gestures........

"Spring is coming....... It looks closer to nature........"

Li Zihao and Guan Shanxue clearly remember that when they first met Ma Chao, Ma Chao explained it to them like this. At that time, the two of them were shocked by Ma Chao's yin power, and they didn't see through the essence of Ma Chao's bones......

In general, the first meeting between the three parties was relatively harmonious and successful. After all, the two families are catching up with the Ma family, a military predator, and the Ma family is begging for food for the two families. What's more, among them, there are two outstanding beauty talkers, Liu Yue and Fu Shou, who act as explanations and threads.

As a result, the three families reached an agreement on the purchase of a large amount of grain under the pretext that the Ma family was to crack down on the rich households in Chang'an to raise grain prices. It's just that when it came to the payment link, Ma Chao smiled mysteriously and said: "Gold in troubled times, ancient times in prosperous times....... Treasure, both of them are from everyone's background, so they naturally know the truth of treasure preservation, and the Ma family is indeed a little short of money now, but there are some objects, the two of them may be interested in ......."

When he said this, Ma Chao couldn't wait to slap his mouth: What prosperous antique? In this era, even if you bring the night pot you used back to your previous life, it will probably be able to sell for millions! In this era, how can there be such a thing as an antique?

However, fortunately, the two of them are indeed people who have seen the world, and when they saw Ma Chao so far away, they didn't go straight away. Instead, after glancing at each other, they promised to take a look at each other. And when Ma Chao got up, he secretly smiled crookedly: It's okay to look at it, but if you really want those things, and they really keep them, don't blame me Ma Chao is a big profiteer!!

The group came to Liu Xie's dormitory as they spoke, and the reason why they chose this place was to make them think that the objects hidden in His Majesty's dormitory must be the best. And even so, Ma Chao was not satisfied, and asked the craftsmen of the arsenal to hastily build a small dark room after Liu Xie's secret grid.

After entering the dark room, Ma Chao lit the oil lamp in the dark room, and as the oil lamp was lit one by one, the eyes of Guan Shanxue, Li Zihao, and Yu Pan also changed from a sealed state to a ring eye that was rounder than Zhang Fei.

"Oh my God! Didn't you come to the Immortal Cave Mansion?! The first to make a sound was Li Zihao, he looked at the sparkling glass ornaments, and went completely crazy, touching this and looking at that, and felt that one was all good: the eagle standing on the stone ready to spread its wings, the horse with four hooves flying and stepping on the swallow, hey, these two fat and cute pigs are also good.

Guan Shanxue was inhaling cool air, and Yu Pan was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands: a room full of people, every piece taken out is a rare treasure, how can this be obtained.

"How much grain does this have to be exchanged for an immortal collection?!" Finally, Yu Pan carefully put back a wolf howling glass ornament of the howling moon and muttered: "If such a holy relic is passed on to Xianbei, Karasuma or the Xiongnu, it will at least lead to a bloody ending!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought in his heart: The Huns worship the heavens, earth, sun and moon, worship their ancestors, and fear ghosts and gods. Before marching and fighting, they must first divinate the evil fortune and do witchcraft to drive away evil spirits and avoid harm and harm the enemy. However, among the many beliefs of the Huns, they have always regarded the wolf as the totem of a family, believing that every Hun is a descendant of the wolf. The belief in it far exceeds the worship of the dragon by the Han people.

The Xianbei and Karasuma tribes were split from the Xiongnu. The firmness of the belief in the wolf totem is no less than that of the Huns. Therefore, can I grasp this point and give Huvro a little sweetness?

However, it is important to fool these two family heads in front of him. As a result, Ma Chao casually picked up a fist-sized transparent glass ball and asked Yu Pan: "Shopkeeper Yu, how much do you think this thing sells for?" ”

"Priceless! I dare not estimate, I can't measure it! Yu Pan was obviously frightened by the flawless, transparent and transparent glass beads, and continued to mutter, "I wonder where the general got such treasures?" Does the general really plan to exchange such priceless treasures for some kind of cheap and large quantities of grain? ”

"The two families are also big business families, haven't you heard that when they first entered the Hajj to meet His Majesty, they dedicated a sculpture of Nine Dragons?" Ma Chao smiled weirdly, and then pointed with his hands and said: "These immortals are the ones that Chao bought from the depths of the desert with the lives of thousands of soldiers!" ........”

And as soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at the glass in the room, and in addition to the previous shock, their eyes had a little more reverence and fanaticism: This is a holy relic that was exchanged for the blood of thousands of soldiers!!
