After listening to Dugu Lanruo's suggestion.

"That's it!" The eldest grandson Wujian didn't give anyone a chance to speak at all, and directly made a decision.

In fact, after careful consideration, everyone also thought that this method was good.

What's more, the Tang people are good at gambling, both men and women are good at gambling, and this kind of gambling is very exciting.

Xiao Linger was responsible for arranging this little event.

However, just after choosing a place to set up a platform, someone came to stop it, and dozens of nobles with the surnames Lu, Cui, and Zheng ran to block Li Shimin's door, and they also had to participate, so this opportunity could not only be given to the wife of the official's family.

Is a thousand stones too much?

For the nobles in Chang'an City, one person is not enough to divide a piece.

Li Shimin went to the eldest grandson Wujian for this matter, and after discussing it, he ordered that the first batch would only be given to the families of officials above the third grade in Chang'an City and the noblewomen of the five surnames and the thirty-six families with the surname Qiwang, and each family with the five surnames could send three people, and each family with two famous families could send two people.

Then it is distributed according to the number of stones and people, and each person can pick one piece at a time in the order of drawing lots.

Since then, the number of people has been suppressed within 200 people, plus the concubines of the harem, as well as Dugu Lanruo, Xiao Ling'er and Liu Ruyan's sisters, a total of 20 yuan.

But in addition to Dugu Lanruo, who can choose the second block according to his identity, the rest must also be drawn.

As for the jade master who opened the stone?

That nobleman can't invite an excellent jade master in his family, take Princess Changping's Mansion as an example, there are more than five jade masters and good craftsmen in the mansion.

The noblewomen and their maidservants, as well as the retinues and jade masters they brought.

More than 2,000 people sat around the high platform on the square of the front hall of the Taiji Palace, and a nine-story shelf was erected on the high platform, and a hundred stones were placed on the shelf each time.

Is there anything special?

The answer is no, Liu Mu is just a yard farmer in later generations, he has never heard of such a high-end activity as gambling stones, and he has never seen anything like the original stone in the modern era of the later generations, and he does not know how to distinguish which piece of rough stone is good.

Even if you have some jade with you, you don't know these rough stones at all.

The eldest grandson Wujian has her own set of methods, she believes that jade is formed by collecting the essence of heaven and earth for thousands of years, so go to find those stones that look very ancient and have a very primitive taste, so even if you can't produce good jade, there is at least one piece of jade.

Maybe the world should let the Li family sit in the world, or maybe God is destined to let the eldest grandson be innocent and mother in the world.

Just when the eldest grandson Wujian was standing on the stage and didn't know which piece to pick, she suddenly saw two green lights, one bright and one dark, from the perspective of sunlight.

It was the sun that shone on the crack in the stone, and it happened to reflect into her eyes.

"The fourth block from the left on the sixth floor." The eldest grandson Wujian immediately chose one piece, and at the same time secretly noted the location of the other piece, and whispered a few words when he passed by Dugu Lanruo after stepping off the high platform.

After Dugu Lanruo came to power, she only turned around and reported the position that the eldest grandson Wujian told her.

After Dugu Lanruo left the high platform, someone immediately raised two more pieces to make up for the vacant seat just now, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wujian suddenly announced: "Jade is a godsend, this palace only chooses this one, and the rest of the opportunities are given to the concubines in the palace." ”

The fourth lady was already qualified to be elected, and the status of the rest was not low, but after all, there were too few stones this time.

The eldest grandson Wujian called the names of several people, these concubines were originally just bystanders, and they couldn't be grateful after hearing their names.

After the name is called, the eldest grandson Wujian should have one more chance to choose again, that is, there is still a piece.

The eldest grandson looked at Dugu Lanruo.

Dugu Lanruo said she understood.

"I have five chances to choose, and I give up a piece to General Niu as a gift for General Niu's marriage daughter. The remaining three pieces are given to the fourth mother of the Liu family, one to the fifth mother, and the last piece. ”

Dugu Lanruo stopped.

At this time, Changsun Wujian said: "I and Changping are each together, Chang'an Ling recommends two rich businessmen who are meritorious, virtuous and righteous, and if the recommended person is considered inappropriate by one-third of today, then the qualification will be cancelled." The money raised was donated to the Chang'an Education and Elderly Hospitals. ”

Immediately afterwards, the five surnames Cui, Li, and Zheng also said that they would donate a piece each, and others may be unwilling, but some will donate.

The eldest grandson Wujian said: "There are not too many meritorious, virtuous and righteous businessmen in Chang'an City, and nine yuan is just right. If the rest are willing, they will pay double according to the first stone selected, and the extra part will be donated to the conservation, elderly care and medical sanctuary in Chang'an City. ”

"Queen......

The sound of singing the praises of virtue continued, and the eldest grandson Wujian kept getting up and asking you to continue to choose stones, without saying these useless words.

Under the stage, two groups of craftsmen have begun to cut stones, and it is the two pieces of Changsun Wujian and Dugu Lanruo.

Dugu Lanruo stared at the stone and closed her mouth tightly.

The eldest grandson Wujian asked softly, "I am not willing to donate a piece." ”

"Coins are a minor problem, and there are so many stones." Dugu Lanruo said exactly what many people were unwilling to donate stones.

The eldest grandson continued: "Some people are greedy to assign Yushan to the self-controlled mining area according to the original contract with the imperial court, you say that they are not greedy. ”

"Who is so ......" Dugu Lanruo was about to say who was so bold, but she immediately reacted, Liu Mu was the only one who had such a bold person and this kind of contract.

Looking at Dugu Lanruo's embarrassed appearance, Changsun Wujian said in a lower voice: "Erlang told me the night before yesterday that he discussed with Shangshu Province and was going to transfer a sailor to the open sea to be stationed in the open sea, and there are three ports where the sailor is stationed, Ceylon, Madaban, and Malacca West Exit. There are only two candidates, either General Liu Renliang or Dugu Shura. ”

"This ......" Although Dugu Lanruo doesn't understand military affairs, she knows the map of that piece.

It can be said that the periphery of Yushan is controlled by Liu Mu.

The Six Edicts are the area of Yushan close to Datang, where once it is defeated, there are only two candidates for at least ten years, Niu Jinda or Su Dingfang.

"Don't care about a stone, when you will still be like a child. Sister-in-law can see better than you, these stones are used by Erlang and Mu to amuse the nobles of Chang'an, and by the way, they prepared a little military expenses for Shen Cewei to go on the expedition. ”

A little?

There were already mountains of silver coins over there, and a thousand stones of silver as heavy as stones were a huge amount, even if they were the size of a melon.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty who care about this bit of silver coins, they want top-level jade.

Suddenly, a craftsman rushed to the Taiji Hall and knelt down and shouted: "God bless the Tang Dynasty......

On the craftsman's table, a piece of rough stone that has been cut in one-third and ground out of the jade surface is placed there.

The jade craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty don't understand jadeite, and they don't know what glass seeds, ice seeds, and bean seeds are...... But they understand jade.
