Section 0871 A group of thieves
Liu Mu turned sideways and asked the translator beside him, "You seem to have seen that kind of golden statue." ”
"Yes, my subordinates know."
Liu Mu instructed: "Then you can go and negotiate the price with them later, and then go and negotiate with them the price of various items according to the value of the gold statue that you have learned." ”
After the translator responded, Liu Mu said, "Tell them how much they can afford to buy these gold and silver valuables." There are always quantities of these things, and you ask them if they've ever seen an amethyst. ”
"Yes!"
The interpreter asked Yanagi what he said, and all three of them shook their heads, but instead asked, "What is a crystal?" ”
Liu Mu asked again, "Ask them if there are any crystalline semi-transparent purple stones." ”
After asking again, one of the three thieves took an amethyst from his bosom and offered it with confusion.
"Nobleman, one of my subordinates dug it in Gyeongju, and it seems that more can be dug in the mountains."
Liu Mu took the amethysts and looked at them carefully, and then threw them to one of his guards: "Let Baoqin take a look." ”
The hugging qin is ten times higher than the willow wood's vision on the gem.
Liu Mu leaned over there and continued to read the book in his hand, this is a manuscript of Xiao Wengong's biography sent by Xiao Shi, which is about Xiao He's biography.
The three thieves knelt there and didn't dare to move, and if Liu Mu didn't speak, they could only wait.
After a while, Liu Mu's personal guard came back and whispered in Liu Mu's ear: "Horse, this is the finest blue amethyst, a rare high-grade gem in the world." ”
"Good."
Liu Mu said to the interpreter: "Tell them to dig this and come back, and give them cloth, rice, incense, and everything else they want." Including weapons, they can ask for as many as they want, and you can negotiate the specific price. Delivery to the mountain castle of Juqi, there is an immediate transaction. Then I gave them a slave girl from Rome, which was my reward, and I loved this purple translucent stone. ”
"Yes, purple translucent stone." The translator specifically repeats this phrase from Yanagi.
The bandits of Silla left, carrying a large number of weapons and ordnance, as well as digging tools, cloth and food.
The three thieves discussed that only with sophisticated weapons can they protect themselves, and with these weapons, they are not afraid of encirclement and suppression by officials and soldiers.
Three days, just three days later.
It was still the rattan boxes with weapons, and the three bandit leaders were once again carrying them back.
These rattan boxes contained large and small amethysts they had collected, as well as a cluster of crystals the size of a watermelon.
"Ask the nobleman for some more knives and bows."
Liu Mu held a fist-sized, unpolished piece of fine amethyst, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
This piece is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of dollars in the modern era of later generations.
"Good. Swap for them. After Liu Mu finished speaking, he glanced at his personal guard. The guards immediately untied the knife on their bodies and held it with both hands, and then the rest of the people had unsolved the knife and some had not.
Liu Mu knew very well that these guys sometimes didn't bring their own good knives when they were guarding the honor guards, and they only brought gorgeous honor knives.
If you don't want to untie the knife, you must bring your own sword.
"Two handfuls each, and five Roman slave girls."
The interpreter said on the side: "This is the high-grade Tang knife used by the princess of the horse country, and the purple translucent stone you sent is very fond of the princess." Therefore, I will give you the real high-grade Tang Dao, and then give you five beauties. ”
"Thank you." The three thieves felt that their spring had arrived, and their lives had sublimated.
This time, the bandits who came to Juqi Mountain City were not only these three thieves, but also dozens of people they brought, and these people were taken to carry ordnance, cloth, food, etc.
A knife came in through the side door and whispered to Yanagi, "These thieves will immediately start expanding their men and horses when they get their weapons back. We heard that they had organized themselves to rob some of the petty nobles, snatched the slaves from their families, and prepared to dig up the mountains. ”
Yanagi asked, "How many tens of thousands of people do they have?" ”
"Well, it's estimated that there are more than a thousand people." A knife heart said, how can a group of mountain bandits have tens of thousands of people.
Liu Mu said to Yidao: "This matter, you arrange it, let them continue to expand, how can the number of tens of thousands." Their presence was definitely a nuisance for the Park clan in Silla.
Yidao said: "Even if they have tens of thousands of people, they will inevitably die in the face of the comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the regular soldiers of Silla." ”
"Dead, what does it have to do with us, you can support a few more."
"Understood." A knife will be understood, Yanagi's method is very simple, as long as it makes the Silla Park clan unhappy, he will be happy, he will be happy.
Some mountain bandits, if these people have a large number of weapons and ordnance, I am afraid that they will really bring a lot of trouble to Silla.
Liu Mu said to Yidao: "I'll tell you, it's not a way to fight." I have a new plan, you arrange someone to ask, Xiao is not going to send someone to Goguryeo to discuss the purchase of white porcelain vases. Did the people go? If so, whether to start talking, and to what extent. ”
"Yes, I'll send someone to investigate." A knife lightly clenched his fist and was about to retreat, but Liu Mu stopped him: "Wait a minute." ”
After the knife stopped, Liu Mu threw an egg-sized amethyst at the knife.
A knife was taken, and a new retreat was held again.
There's no need to say thank you, no need to ask why, and no more asking if they can use purple.
When the people in the house retreated, and Liu Mu was alone, Liu Mu held the largest amethyst and carefully observed it while wiping it with a fine cloth.
Yanagi doesn't know about gemstones, but he's heard that stick purple is quite famous among crystals.
It didn't take much effort to hold the piano.
Liu Mu didn't look up, and when he heard the footsteps of Huqin, he asked, "What have you been busy with these two days?" ”
"Have a drink with the sisters, it's very interesting for them to stay here, Park Silla has compiled a lot of news, it seems that the Yuan family and the Park family are not so close."
"It's just a matter of using each other."
Yanagi never thought that Park would be willing to be a dog for the Yuan family, and from the perspective of cooperation, the Yuan family would not treat the Park family as an equal collaborator.
The pride in the heart of the Yuan clan is afraid that he didn't even pay attention to himself, the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Silla Pu clan.
Baoqin took the piece of amethyst that Liu Mu was studying, and after carefully comparing it for a while, he put the crystal on the table with a regretful face.
Yanagi leaned over and asked, "What, there's a flaw?" ”
Baoqin shook his head: "Not really, this piece is very good, but it's a little small." ”
Liu Mu took the fist-sized amethyst in his hand again, and said in his heart that this piece is not very expensive, this is a rare amethyst, or blue amethyst.
