The furnishings of this store are very simple, a simple counter, the counter is a little old, and there are some small ornaments on the shelves behind the counter, Liu Han just glanced at it casually, and didn't ask at all, any jewelry store is a big road of goods outside.

The shopkeeper greeted him, and he was very enthusiastic to lead Liu Han to the chair on the side, and was about to pour tea again, Liu Han stopped him: "Call your shopkeeper out, I heard that you have a hundred birds and phoenix screen, I want to see it." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng nodded slightly, and Xiao Er hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper went to the backyard to ask the shopkeeper, Liu Han looked at the small shop again, this small shop is indeed very small, the counter and shelves take up most of the space, and there is a landscape map hanging on the wall on the side of the counter, Liu Han has no research on landscape painting, not only does not understand this life, but also does not understand the previous life.

"Spring Mountain travel map, Wei County Zhang Jingluo to the thirty-eighth year of the spring graffiti. Liu Han walked to the side of the picture and read the signature at the bottom of the picture: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to draw well." ”

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Calligraphy and painting, Xiaodao," he paused: "Mr. still knows how to paint?"

Liu Han laughed: "I don't know anything about painting, and I still know a little bit about calligraphy." But I can see something in your painting. ”

"Please advise. Zhang Meng arched his hand and said.

"The mountains are full of wind, the water gathers rain, Mr. Zhang, I don't know what happened to you, but you are unwilling to do this painting and that word. ”

Liu Han sighed, Zhang Meng's heart trembled, he looked at Liu Han with some disbelief, this businessman who looked like he was full of copper smell, he could actually see the secret he hid in his heart, remembering the past, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

The two of them fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, and the shopkeeper came in. Liu Han looked at the shopkeeper, who looked to be in his fifties, wearing a half-new cyan robe, with gray hair, a thin face, and a long beard under his chin, which hung down to his chest.

After a little greeting, the two sat down, and the shopkeeper asked, "I don't know where the guest officer came from?"

Liu Han smiled and said lightly: "I came from the Cheshi, and I want to go to the imperial capital." ”

The shopkeeper nodded slightly, and was about to continue asking, Liu Han got up: "I'd better take a look at the hundred birds and the phoenix first, this Mr. Zhang said it amazingly, it sounds, it sounds better than the Qizhen Pavilion and the Cheshi's Shuyuzhai, which makes me curious." Do you know, this time to Dajin, I brought all the best treasures of Shuyuzhai, the shopkeeper, can you let me see it. ”

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, got up and led Liu Han to the backyard, the backyard is also not noisy, one foot of the yard is piled up with some accessories, from the open door of the wing room, you can see that several jade workers are concentrating on work, and the shopkeeper opens the door of the main house.

Sunlight shone through the doorway and sprinkled on an object covered with white cotton cloth in the room, and the shopkeeper stood on the side: "Guest officer, please." ”

Liu Han and Zhang Meng stood in front of the object, although the object was covered with white cotton cloth, it could still be seen from the appearance of a screen. Liu Han's first feeling is that the host attaches great importance to this screen, you must know that cotton cloth in this era is a high-end consumer product, the key to cotton cloth is that the textile technology is not up to standard, it is very difficult to remove cotton, and the efficiency of the textile machine is very poor.

Over the years, Liu Han has vigorously promoted cotton planting in the Western Regions and improved the loom, which is the only machinery he knows from his previous life, and he understands this thing because of his father, his father is a technician in charge of repairing looms in the textile factory, and there are a bunch of structural drawings of various models of looms in the world at home.

When he made Tianna weaving, he found that there was not enough cotton, so he bought a large amount of land and began to grow cotton, and now the cotton cloth production in the Western Regions has far exceeded that of the Great Jin, and the price in the Great Jin has even exceeded the silk and satin, and the profit brought by cotton cloth has been the third largest profit in his kingdom.

But now such a precious cotton cloth is used to wrap this screen, which is enough to show the importance that the owner attaches to the screen.

The shopkeeper pulled the cotton down, and Liu Han was stunned for a moment.

On the way here, Liu Han made countless ideas, what is this hundred-year-old Chaofeng like, in terms of materials alone, it is difficult to choose the materials of this hundred birds, the largest jewelry store in the Western Regions is Liu Han's, he knows the situation of jade.

Ninety percent of Liangzhou's jade came from the Western Regions, and seventy percent of the jade trade in the Western Regions was controlled by him, which was his second largest source of profits. The vast majority of jade in the Western Regions is white, and there are very few other colors, and among the hundred birds and phoenixes, the phoenix is either red or cyan.

But as soon as the cotton cloth was pulled down, Liu Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a fiery red phoenix hovering proudly in the sky, like a king patrolling his territory, with a golden head held high, red wings and a long tail sweeping the sky, and those eyes flashed with demonic light, looking at all things, making the beasts bow their heads.

The sky seemed to be burning, the air was trembling, and the king of birds was lifelike, ready to break through the wall.

Hundreds of birds chase the miracle of the phoenix and worship like believers.

Joy, fear, apprehension, and different styles.

The goshawk flies low, humble and cautious, the lark is cheerful, but does not dare to make a sound, the black eagle circles, the ferocity is gone, and it is full of tenderness;

Hundreds of birds fly, different shapes, or coquettish, or smart, or honest, all different.

All surrendered to the light of the phoenix.

Liu Han looked stupid, not only was he stupid, but even Liu Tie was stupid, Liu Tie's appreciation of jewelry was higher than Liu Han's, this was because Liu Han's main time was spent on cultivation, and in business, he just deployed plans and provided strategic directions, and how to implement them was handed over to Liu Tie and Lao Huang, so Liu Tie had seen far more treasures than Liu Han.

After a while, Liu Han came back to his senses, he stepped forward and carefully examined the screen, from the tail and wings of the phoenix were actually carved with large pieces of red jade, no wonder the color was so pure, without the slightest flaw. Legend has it that the head of the phoenix is golden yellow, and the head of this phoenix is carved from a whole piece of topaz, and the eyes that make Liu Han a little afraid to look at it are cut by two pearls.

Liu Han was a little afraid to look at the eyes of this phoenix, the flickering light in these eyes was a little demonic, there was a kind of demonic attraction, as soon as his gaze fell on it, Liu Han felt his heart move slightly, and his blood was uneven.

"What kind of pearl are these eyeballs made of?"

"Oh, the guest officer has good eyesight, these eyes are made of snow beads, a specialty of the Great Snow Mountain. The shopkeeper replied.

"Snow beads in the Snow Mountain?" Liu Han was a little puzzled, this Snow Mountain is also called the Big Snow Mountain, in the territory of Tubo. This big snow-capped mountain is a holy place for the Tubo people, there is a snow palace on the snow mountain, which is the holy palace of the Tubo people, and a large number of Tubo people go up the mountain to worship every year. On the other hand, the Snow Palace martial arts is unique in the martial arts, there are countless masters in the Snow Palace, Liu Han once met one when he left the country in the mountains, and the two competed once, and they stopped without distinguishing the winner.

In addition to the status and martial arts of the Snow Palace, the most famous is the Snow Bead, this Snow Bead is a special product of a glacier near the Snow Palace, the vast majority of the Snow Beads are white, and a very small number are black, in line with the principle that the rare is precious, the value of the black Snow Beads is far greater than the white Snow Beads, but this craftsman actually dissected such a precious Snow Beads.

In addition to the snow beads, the material of the bird is also precious, the material of the bird is less precious than the phoenix, some of the materials are very ordinary, that is, ordinary jade, and some are obviously the scraps of the carved phoenix. But it is these ordinary materials that constitute a hundred birds with different postures.

After watching it for half an hour, Liu Han finally saw it completely, he let out a long breath, stared at the jade screen, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Devil's work, ghost's work, shopkeeper, I heard that this is made by your son, can you meet your son?" Liu Han asked with a sigh.

"Guest officer, it's really unfortunate, my son went to buy goods, and now he is not at home. The shopkeeper replied with a little surprise, you must know that the people who can afford this screen are by no means ordinary people, and the craftsmen have a very low status in the eyes of these nobles, and the ordinary craftsmen are attached to a certain family of gate valves, and independent craftsmen like them are often troubled by the government, and the taxes and fees levied far exceed those of those families of gate valves, and those shops almost do not pay taxes.

"Shopkeeper, I like this screen very much, but I don't dare to make a price, so please quote a price. ”

Liu Han's attitude made the shopkeeper and Zhang Meng a little surprised, too sincere, Zhang Meng frowned hesitantly, he couldn't figure out what this Liu Han meant, the shopkeeper hesitated, and then sighed softly: "The guest officer knows that this screen, it took five years before and after the dog, and it was finally made, it took countless efforts, and it cost countless people to collect materials, alas, if the guest officer wants, he will dare to offer 100,000 silver." ”

"100,000?" Liu Han repeated softly, the shopkeeper and Zhang Meng were a little nervous, this is a sky-high price, not to mention anything else, Liangzhou, the entire state, the annual income of the whole state is only four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, this screen will be two percent of the annual income of the entire Liangzhou, you can know how high this price is.

Liu Han glanced at the shopkeeper and Zhang Meng, and then looked at Liu Tie and Xiao Qi, the shopkeeper and Xiao Qi looked a little nervous, Liu Tie's face was expressionless, his expression remained unchanged, Zhang Meng's expression was a little strange, nervous and nervous, it should be worried.

"100,000?" Liu Han repeated again, then smiled and said: "The price is reasonable, it is estimated that there will be no second one in this world, but the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper had just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard it, his heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't have so many silver tickets with me, by the way, did you accept the silver tickets of the Huiyin number?"

"Of course. The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, this Tonghui silver number was established in Liangzhou five years ago, the first was only those caravans who ran the Western Regions to use his silver tickets, and then gradually local merchants also began to use, until now, the silver tickets issued by the Tonghui silver number are not only in Liangzhou, but also in the Yongzhou desert, I heard that even the imperial capital began to use.

"That's good," Liu Han nodded: "Liu Tie, take 10,000 silver tickets, shopkeeper, I will take 10,000 silver tickets now, and within two days, I will send the remaining 90,000 silver tickets." ”

"Good, good. The shopkeeper nodded again and again, Liu Tie took out a stack of silver tickets, pointed out 10,000 silver tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper, Zhang Meng quickly drew up an agreement, Liu Han felt that there was no problem after reading it, and the shopkeeper immediately signed it, the agreement was in triplicate, and Liu Han and Zhang Meng were each in charge.

In addition to this screen, Liu Han asked what else, for such a generous customer, the shopkeeper did not hide it, and took out the treasures at home.

This Zhang Meng is really not wrong, the craftsmanship of this jade Zhai is really not said, especially the concept and design, extremely exquisite, Liu Han is not polite, buy them all, of course, the price of these things is far worse than the jade screen, more than a dozen treasures cost a total of 40,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Meng drafted another agreement, also in triplicate, with each of the three holding a copy.

Coming out of Pinyuzhai, Liu Han took a long breath, Zhang Meng asked carefully where to go, Zhang Meng's heart was a little complicated, just two bags of cigarettes passed, Liu Han spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, this is a rare big deal, Liangzhou may have never seen such a big deal, this will definitely shake the entire Liangzhou Mansion if it is spread.
