After only one night's sleep, Li Chengzhi became full of energy and vitality. He is still the handsome boy with red lips and white teeth.
Guo Cunxin stood under the horse and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Really going to look for Hu Hai?"
Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment and then sighed: "I will definitely go, even if I don't make it, I can feel at ease!"
After asking Yang Shu last night, I found out that this was not the first time that Xi Kangsheng had trapped and killed thieves and rioters by tens of thousands.
His reputation as a famous general in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties was built up by piles of dead bodies.
Therefore, it is not groundless to say that the two Buddhist caves in Qingyang were used to suppress the ghosts of injustice.
This is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lives. Li Chengzhi really can't just treat them as a bunch of cold numbers and leave them to Xi Kangsheng to kill them.
Instead of doing this, wouldn't it be more comfortable to raise armies and quell chaos, and just sit on Kongtong Mountain and watch the storm surge?
So since you have encountered it, you must take care of it and give it a try.
It has nothing to do with the Holy Mother's heart, it's just the conscience of a human being...
Guo Cunxin gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't express his pain.
The Guo family was passed down by Confucianism, and what he had learned from childhood was etiquette, integrity, filial piety, and loyalty. How could he still persuade Li Chengzhi to let it go?
But the price is too high, right?
For the sake of peace of mind, you actually want to return those treasures?
Two squares of jade, each about a foot square, are definitely rare objects that can be found but cannot be found. You actually don’t want them even if you just say you don’t want them?
Shouldn’t this be your character, Li Chengzhi?
To put it harshly, the court is not in a hurry, so what do you think?
Are you obsessed with ghosts, or have you been bewitched by Yang Shu?
Seeing Guo Cunxin trembling anxiously and looking like he couldn't say anything, Li Chengzhi felt a warmth in his heart and advised him gently: "Uncle, don't worry, I know what I know!"
At the same time, he was still a little bit dumbfounded.
What kind of treasure is this?
He learned this, but still can’t he recognize it?
It’s just two pieces of Afghan jade. In later generations, they were sold by the pound.
The reason why it is worth thousands of dollars in this era is that firstly, large-scale mineral veins have not yet been discovered, secondly, the mining technology is not up to standard, and thirdly, the Li Te people, that is, the Hu merchants are too shrewd and deliberately hesitate to sell.
In fact, there is something similar in China - Jingbai Jade.
The main components of these two types of jade are quartz. The only difference is that most Jingbai jade does not contain dolomite, which is the main component of Hetian jade.
In fact, the dolomite content in Afghan jade is not much, which is about 34%.
With just such a small difference, Afghan jade can be mistaken for genuine Hetian jade, and profiteers in later generations even directly sell it as Hetian jade...
To put it bluntly, just like glass, the Han people have been taxed on IQ by the Li Te people for more than a thousand years.
Keeping these two things at hand, whenever you look at them, you feel like you have been charged an IQ tax.
So Li Chengzhi is not curious at all.
If you really want to give me two pieces of mutton-fat jade, do you think I’ll accept them?
But he couldn't explain it.
What if he says he doesn’t care and Guo Cunxin asks him to take out two yuan?
For scholars, this thing is as obsessed with high-end cosmetics and high-end bags as the women of later generations. It is too attractive...
We can only wait for the opportunity to find a good one for Guo Cunxin, otherwise he will remember it for a lifetime.
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will never suffer any loss!" Li Chengzhi replied ambiguously, lightly raised the reins, and urged the horse away.
A group of personal guards followed closely behind.
Guo Cunxin cursed in anger: "What a bastard!"
After breathing heavily for a long time, he sighed helplessly and prepared to return to the camp.
But as soon as he turned his head, he found Yang Shu standing not far away, looking in the direction where Li Chengzhi left.
We chatted too late last night, so he did not return to the city. He stayed at the military camp for the night. It seemed that he had just gotten up.
As soon as he saw Yang Shu, Guo Cunxin felt that every part of his body was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this what you wanted?"
Yang Shu was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "What does it have to do with me? I'm just angry that he was obviously a God-given opportunity, why didn't he take a heavy blow, and when did he persuade him to trade jade for fields?"
Guo Cunxin became even more angry: "If you and your eldest brother hadn't repeatedly advised him to be upright and behave like a gentleman, what about Chengzhi...how could he be like this?"
He originally wanted to say that Li Chengzhi, who had just woken up, was cunning, cunning, selfish, and ruthless. He was clearly a replica of Li Shixian. If you hadn't influenced him day and night, how could he be so pedantic now?
But when the words came to his lips, he realized something was wrong and turned a corner abruptly.
Yang Shu felt that he had been wronged and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Can this be blamed on me? Aren't you the one who gave the most advice and preached the most?"
Guo Cunxin’s nose was almost crooked with anger.
How could he not know, but because of this, he became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, feeling as if he had personally crippled Li Chengzhi?
"Stop talking sarcastically!" Guo Cunxin said angrily, "Mr. Yanrong, ask yourself, if it were you, would you be willing to part with such a treasure?"
Would you rather be me?
Yang Shu's expression froze.
If it were two pieces of real gold, he would definitely not blink an eye, but what if it was beautiful jade?
Let's forget it...
"That's why I really admire him..."
Yang Shu sighed sadly, "I feel relieved about Liu Shi, but Chengzhi was trained by you and me, how can I let him suffer?"
"I'm wide..."
Guo Cunxin almost followed Li Chengzhi’s example and used foul language.
"That's a square white jade..."
Seeing that he was in so much pain, Yang Shu actually felt a little bit distressed.
If I had known that you were renting land instead of exchanging land, and that you were using jade as rent, why would you have gone to that old fox Hu Hai?
Can I do it for you?
You and Hongnong are not far away, so what if I rent you 10,000 to 20,000 acres of private land in the clan, even if it lasts for ten or eight years?
Unfortunately, my skin is still too thin...
……
If Li Chengzhi knew that Guo Cunxin and Yang Shu thought this way, he would definitely laugh to death.
Is the trashy stuff in the future worthy of your heartache, just like losing your son?
Believe it or not, if I spare some time, I can open a White Jade Mountain for you?
But he also knows that although he doesn't care, in the eyes of others, this is a real treasure.
If they are exchanged for money and food, the value of these two pieces of jade is not much lower than that of one thousand real gold. Even if it cannot be exchanged for one hundred thousand, it is absolutely no problem to exchange it for fifty or sixty thousand kilograms of copper.
If you meet someone like Guo Cunxin who likes it to the core, you might even be able to do it several times over.
On the other hand, Hu Shiyong is actually very courageous. How can he just give something like this away?
If he hadn't acted so despicably, and if his appetite hadn't been so big that he wanted to devour even the tens of thousands of troops he led, I would have agreed to him in all likelihood.
