The first thing that good jade pays attention to is delicate, the delicate texture. And then there's the degree of crystal clarity. Finally, look at the color, not necessarily a solid color, but there are also many particulars.

Only a corner of the leak, that one is full of green......

Beautiful, indescribably beautiful.

Almost every lady posted a close distance to take a closer look, and someone suddenly said: "It is rumored that Liu Juma said that the top one is called Supreme Glass Emperor Green, I don't know if this counts." ”

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

Such a quality made all the noble ladies as crazy as chicken blood.

In the evening, only more than 100 stones were picked out on the high platform, and they will continue tomorrow, but there is no noble lady in the square in front of the Taiji Hall who plans to go home, and the military thickened tents used on the northern grasslands that they sent people to transport, they are not leaving, and they are happy to look at the pile of stones.

I'm also more afraid that if I leave, the stone will be gone tomorrow.

The eldest grandson has completely removed the impurities from the outer skin and cut off the material of a bracelet.

Just a rough polish, the perfect jade even Li Shimin was shocked.

Even if Li Shimin cares that the land is higher than the stone, it will not affect his own love for jade, especially when he heard that the eldest grandson Wujian was the first to pick a stone and cut it and suspected that it was the best, Li Shimin trotted to the square of the front hall.

Compared with the piece of the eldest grandson Wuji, Dugu Lanruo's piece is a little worse, but it is also better than the ones collected by Liu Mu before.

There is another one with a similar grade to Dugu Lanruo, and the size can be bigger, which is a seemingly ordinary black-gray stone picked by the old lady of the Du family in the south of the city.

With that piece of jade, Li Shimin thought more about the impact of this treasure on the Tang Dynasty.

Especially at the price offered by willow wood, the stone and silver are one to one by weight, is it too ruthless.

It was here that a noble lady was asking Concubine Yang to come over and talk to the eldest grandson Wujian to help.

Concubine Yang said to the eldest grandson, "Sister, someone wants to buy the bracelet material you cut for forty gold, and plans to make two more jade plates in addition to the bracelet." ”

Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wujian to speak, Wei Guifei immediately said: "Whoever is so stingy, only forty gold, in my opinion, the piece buckled out of the bracelet, less than one hundred gold, is insincere." ”

As soon as Wei Guifei said far away, Concubine Yan De came to intercede on behalf of her sister, one hundred and twenty gold, and asked for this bracelet material

"Nineteen thousand two hundred, just for such a piece." Li Shimin sighed and gave the eldest grandson Wujian a look, and the eldest grandson Wujian said that he would receive 100 gold, and this piece would be transferred.

Such a piece is only equivalent to about seven to eighths of the whole piece of jadeite of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In other words, the piece of jadeite of the eldest grandson is worth 100,000 yuan before it is made.

100,000 yuan is exchanged for the banknotes of later generations, which is worth 500 million.

Wei Guifei said another sentence on the side: "Sage, should the Supreme Emperor Green set up rules, and it is not allowed to be used outside the royal family." ”

"You go and make a proposal. But this time it's not too much to do, not to mention that I don't know if this piece is Supreme Emperor Green. In this way, when I take the Jade Mountain, I will authorize you to take 100 of the top jade craftsmen in the palace and Chang'an, accompany Princess Changping to the Jade Mountain, and come up with the grading standards for the jade case in the shortest possible time. ”

"Thank you, saint." Wei Guifei was so moved that she almost cried.

Not because she went to Yushan, but because she finally had a chance to leave Chang'an to see the world.

The eldest grandson Wujian also said: "Don't think that this is an easy job, the guards must bring enough, and this time I will also take the young prince to see the world of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, by the Queen's orders." Wei Guifei said she understood.

In the early morning of the next day, the gambling stone was still the same, and some people opened a pure stone, and there were also ordinary jadeite. On the third day, two pieces of the best products appeared, one of which surpassed Dugu Lanruo's piece, and was very close to the one in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, but unfortunately it was too small, only the size of a fist.

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

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

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

In fact, Li Shimin worked in the Ministry of War, and the mountains of silver coins allowed Li Shimin to fight a big battle and win the Six Edicts, which was the most important foreign war plan of the Tang Dynasty Military Department next year.

Within three years, the entire Indochina Peninsula to the territory of the Tang Dynasty was cleared of some unstable existences.

Li Jing glanced at the approximate data of the silver coins piled up in the square in front of the Taiji Hall in the newspaper and said: "It is easy to do things with money, the minister thinks that he will start preparing 30,000 pairs of light armor now, and quickly start shipping 5,000 pairs of crossbows immediately, and order the Ordnance Department to work overtime, and strive to prepare another 30,000 pairs of light armor before the last batch of materials are shipped." ”

"The minister has a different opinion." Du Ruhui stood up: "The Ordnance Department should be allowed to divide its forces and strengthen the strength of the Mogadishu Armory Workshop." More importantly, expand the six compounds. The little six edicts, such as Liu Juma, said before, are already fierce tigers fighting rabbits, do you still want to arm all the tigers? ”

Li Jing immediately retorted: "The soldiers are outside, and more preparation is the best choice, what if Tubo sends troops?" ”

"Wenyue Pavilion is staring day and night, it is not easy to send troops, and it is too late for them to send troops to the southwest to forcibly fight, and now it should be considered five years later, Tianzhu must be fought, and it is the established national policy of my Datang."

"I still think......

What the two of them said is reasonable, one cares about the current strategic layout, and there is no room for mistakes. One cares about the development of the next five years, or even ten or fifteen years.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "Mu once mentioned a word to me in a small talk. ”

"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 the convenience of transportation, and the first step of this transportation convenience is the distance of twelve hours. I asked the Huayuan Workshop, and according to the latest steam locomotive in the workshop, under the condition of ensuring the railway, it can reach Yanzhou City in twelve hours. ”

Li Shimin added: "Of course, these twelve hours refer to non-stop all the way. There are many big state capitals on this road, and it is impossible to stop, so with the time of stopping, you can also get to Yanzhou in sixteen hours. ”

"Please let the saint speak." Du Ruhui didn't understand what Li Shimin was talking about at all.

Li Shimin stretched out a hand and opened it: "Wujing is the center of culture, economy, trade, and politics that Datang needs." The other four centers are all connected with Chang'an and can be reached day and night. ”
