Chapter 90 Things That Shouldn't Appear

It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. Now, they not only solve the problem of employment, but also solve the problem of supply and demand for jade. Wang Ye is in a very uncomfortable mood.

After returning yesterday, Wang Ye directly called Liu Xiaowei, who was stationed in Tingyu Pavilion, and asked him to arrange a person to go to Chang'an to inform Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin to come to meet and discuss mining matters.

Just now, before eating morning food, the two generals heard that they had a big business that made money, so they set off before dawn and rushed to the dark.

Tingyu Pavilion, tea room.

After Wang also told the two of them that Baruo told him, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other silently, obviously there was something difficult to describe.

After a long time, Qin Qiong said, "City Lord, the Khotan mutton fat jade you mentioned was hard to find during the Warring States Period. It was called Kunshan jade at that time. The seals and seals in the palace were made of this kind of jade carving. Even today, this jade is worth a thousand gold."

Wang Ye nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "That's right, I know this, so I said it's a big business that makes money. There are several mountains there, and there are endless jades."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said helplessly: "Are you really stupid or you are obsessed with interests? Since you know you can make money, would so many people have never expected it from ancient times to the present?"

Wang Ye thought about it when he heard this, he was really confused and asked, "Is there any reason?"

Qin Qiong picked up the teacup, thought for a while, and said slowly: "There are three reasons. One is: the journey is long and people are not in a position; the other is: the territory of other countries is very dangerous; the third is..."

When Wang Ye saw him stop, he asked anxiously: "What is the third one? You said it."

Seeing that the king was also anxious, Cheng Yaojin continued: "If it was the first point, we could arrange the army to change clothes and guard, and we would not be afraid of thieves or those who were blinded by interests; and the second point, if we consider the original Kingdom of Khotan and the current Kingdom of Gaochang, we could also suppress it with force and exchange grain and iron tools for jade, but this third point is the biggest reason that hinders the mining of Yushan."

When Wang Ye saw him stop and was about to get angry, Qin Qiong, who was beside him, put down his teacup and spoke, "Do you know why the former Kingdom of Khotan had lived in this endless Dayu Mountain, but later he was still so poor that he could not bear the blame and was then destroyed?"

Wang also shook his head. In ancient times, when the country was destroyed, the people in power were foolish. However, when Qin Qiong asked, it was definitely not the reason, so he had to listen patiently.

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Everyone knows that the mountains near the ancient city of Khotan are all mutton fat jade. Even the Kingdom of Khotan has built the capital next to it. For more than a hundred years, by digging jade, Khotan was considered a prosperous country. However, they later found that the jade could not be dug."

"Can't dig anymore?" Wang also asked curiously.

"Yes, the old local miners are all experienced jade diggers. According to their description, it was easy to dig jade at the beginning, and there was no need to dig. You could pick up a few pieces of jade as long as you walk a few steps in the river.

Later, they couldn't pick it up, so they started digging the ground to dig mountains and rivers, and the harvest was even more than before. Later, the jade exposed on the surface was dug out, so they went to dig the mountains, but there were many huge stones in the Kunlun Mountains, and the stone was harder than iron tools (the iron tools at that time were bronze), so they couldn't dig them at all." Qin Qiong looked helpless after saying that, and took out a cigarette and lit it, just looking at Wang Ye.

After hearing his explanation, Wang Ye was stunned for a while. Just when Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin thought he had given up, Wang Ye suddenly burst into laughter.

Wang also remembered the scenes of workers mining and exploding mountains in many modern movies and TV series, and also remembered the jade mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles. He said in his heart, "If you can't dig, it doesn't mean I can't dig, hahaha."

"No, no, I can't take it out at this time. I'm the second, the second." Suddenly, the king seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself, which made Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin look confused.

The two thought that the king could not stand the change in mood between gains and losses. Just as they were about to comfort him, they saw the king standing up and paced back and forth, as if there were any troubles that could not be solved, and they were browsing deeply.

After a while, Wang also spoke to Qin Qiong, "Brother Qin, you can find a way to get the saint to Tingyu Pavilion and say that I have a powerful weapon to conquer the country and need to talk to him in person."

Qin Qiong frowned when she heard this and said displeased: "City Lord, are you swelling? Let the saint come in person? Even if it is a big deal, you should go to Tai Chi Palace to meet in person."

The king didn't want to explain, even though he knew he had to pass it, the damn limit of scope had to force himself to show off, so he spoke, "Just say, I have a powerful weapon to attack the city, as long as there is enough quantity, the skill of tea can break a city."

Wang also suddenly remembered their last plan to throw tincture oil from the hot air balloon. If it were replaced by explosives, that scene, alas, it would be a sin.

······

Tingyu Pavilion, in the yard.

Luo Xiaoyi danced with a bright silver overlord gun, and the grass leaves in the yard were flying. From time to time, the sound of the piano sounds came from the study, making Luo Xiaoyi, dressed in military uniform, feel a little more heroic.

After dancing for a while, Luo Xiaoyi placed the overlord gun on the weapon stand in a corner of the yard, picked up the towel prepared beads on the side and wiped off the fine sweat beads on his forehead. He walked to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. His originally dark and rough skin felt much brighter and smoother, as if he had turned white. He smiled charmingly and wrung the towel through the water with satisfaction, and began to wipe the dust on his body.

At this time, Du Sanniang and Wang Yu in the study also came out together. The three girls ate and lived together these days, and their relationship went further, and they almost got together with Jinlan Lily.

"Xiaoyi, is your brother out again?" Wang Yu habitually asked Wang Ye's movements.

Luo Xiaoyi hung the towel on the clothesline and looked at the tea room. Seeing that Wang Ye was staring at a broken booklet, he shook his head helplessly, walked to Wang Yu, and said with a smile: "I didn't go out today. Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng came in the morning, and then he stayed alone in the tea room, and I don't know what he was doing."

In the morning, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin happened to meet Luo Xiaoyi, who was also riding a horse to Tingyu Pavilion on the way. Only then did they realize that she was tired of Tingyu Pavilion these days. Both of them looked at the well-behaved Luo Xiaoyi meaningfully, just smiled and didn't ask much.

After hearing Luo Xiaoyi's words, Wang Yu smiled and asked Du Sanniang to help her walk to the tea room.

"elder brother!"

In the tea room, Wang Ye was staring at the booklets that recorded all kinds of golden fingers. The page he opened was written with two big words [Gunpowder], and the others were recorded in some materials. When Wang Ye saw the three girls coming in, he hurriedly closed the booklet and put it in his coat pocket.

"Haha, Xiaoyu has finished practicing the piano?" Wang Ye asked with a smile when he heard Wang Yu's call.

Wang Yu was embarrassed when he heard this, and embarrassedly pulled Du Sanniang over and said, "Xiaoyu was stupid. Thanks to Sanniang's patience, otherwise he would not know how long it would take to learn the transformation between Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu."

When Du Sanniang saw that the king was looking at him, he said shyly: "Sister Xiaoyu is smart and can now play nursery rhymes. I guess he will surpass Sanniang in a short time."

When Wang also saw their love-loving relationship with Wang Yu, he was also happy for Wang Yu from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was a big man and was not the best person to talk to. Wang Yu’s mood changes these days have made Wang very satisfied.

Luo Xiaoyi, who was standing beside him, was also happy on the face, but he still looked worried and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you worried?"

Du Sanniang and Wang Yu were also curious when they heard this. Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by Luo Xiaoyi, Wang Ye smiled helplessly: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little entangled."

Wang Yu asked worriedly: "What's wrong with my brother? Now that the family is well-fed and well-dressed, what else is there to worry about?"

Wang Ye saw the three girls worried and blurted out: "If there is something, its appearance may cause the loss of life and millions of people will die, then is it necessary to appear?"

Xiaoyu and Du Sanniang exclaimed when they heard this. Luo Xiaoyi was calm and said, "It depends on who it holds!"
