Chapter 128: One Hundred and Two Gold
The two co-authors didn't really ask him about the war, they just wanted to take a trick and solve the other party as soon as possible, saving troops, time, and money, which was really beneficial everywhere.
Li Chuan's head shook like a rattle, "How can there be such a good thing in the world, wars are fought with real swords and guns, if you really take shortcuts, maybe the result will be worse." β
"You don't have any suggestions?" Li Daozong asked.
Li Chuan continued to shake his head, his head shook halfway, he remembered something, he paused for a moment, and was caught by these two thousand-year-old foxes.
"What comes to mind? Go ahead. Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"There's something here, which will probably help the war, but it needs to be exchanged for gold." Li Chuan's eyes turned, the Huanhai mudslide needed gold, and he was worried that he had nowhere to go.
"Gold? What could be more expensive than gold? Li Daozong stood up, walked in front of Li Chuan in a few steps, and asked, "What is it?" Where? Take it out and take a look. β
Li Chuan was a little hesitant, there was no problem with taking it out, but what should these two people do if they want to repay the debt?!
Li Daozong widened his eyes, pursed his mouth, and blew his beard and said, "What? We don't have any credibility in your heart? β
Li Chuan took a step back, wiped his face, spoke as he spoke, what kind of trick was it to spit at him, "The division of tea?" β
It's useless to say anything, it depends on how you do it, anyway, what Li Chuan knows is that since he gave this business to Li Daozong and his group, he hasn't received a copper plate.
Li Daozong was silent for a moment, a rare little embarrassed, but if you expect him to be ashamed, it would be naΓ―ve.
"Where did the share come from before they were sold? Are you so patient? It's stingy, it's really useless. Li Daozong continued to spray Li Chuan.
Li Chuan silently retreated, retreated again, and fought silently, he was stingy, and there was no interest, you have a chance, you don't give a share? !
The accusatory gaze shot straight at Li Daozong, putting on an expression of 'I'll see you beep, I won't say anything'.
"Cough~" Li Shimin coughed lightly and said, "Gold is fine, but you have to make sure that your things are worth the gold." β
Li Chuan was surprised, "What's not worth it?" It's not worth the same weight, it's worth ten taels. β
After speaking, Li Chuan remembered,, is there a telescope ten taels? Anyway, it's quite light to hold, and it's also very small, but it's very high-end.
If you calculate it this way, it seems that he is still expensive.
It doesn't matter, anyway, there are only things he has, and the price is whatever he decides.
"Take it out and take a look." Li Shimin's expression became more serious, and he also wanted to know what it was that could be worth ten taels of gold?
Li Chuan put his left hand behind his back, and when he took it out again, he had an extra telescope in his hand.
The corners of Li Shimin and Li Daozong's mouths twitched, who doesn't know that you can take things out of thin air? Is it really as if everyone else is blind when you are so lame in disguise?!
"What is this?" Li Daozong snatched it up, fiddling around and didn't know how to use it.
Li Shimin instinctively leaned back.
This thing was similar to the microscope he had seen in some places.
"I call it a telescope, you can call it a claireye." Li Chuan took a few steps forward and raised the telescope in front of Li Daozong's eyes.
"Ah~~" Li Daozong took a step back in shock, if Li Chuan hadn't foreseen it and held the telescope tightly, this telescope would have been thrown out by Li Daozong, "So, what is that?" β
Li Chuan glanced back, "The stamens on the vase." β
Fortunately, Li Daozong is taller than him, otherwise what he sees in the telescope will be Li Chuan's face, and he must not be regarded as a monster by Li Daozong.
"Why is it that big?" Li Daozong was mentally prepared, took the telescope again, and began to look around.
Li Chuan quickly took a few steps back, sincerely hoping that Li Daozong's psychology would be stronger.
After all, all the objects and people in front of you become larger, which will make people feel a sense of dislocation.
He remembered that when he used to play with the telescope, he had seen other people's faces up close, half of the face, the one with the big eye, and he almost swung his fist out.
"Claireye? You mean, this little thing can see thousands of miles? Li Daozong basically understood the purpose of the telescope, but unfortunately it was already dark outside at this time, and there was no way to verify how far he could see.
"It's impossible to go a thousand miles, that's a description, but you can see far away." Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it worth ten taels of gold?" β
"Value! It's worth it! "With this thing, it can anticipate the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield, accurately mobilize troops in war, and even accurately assassinate enemy generals, so to speak, it can almost determine the outcome of a war.
Not to mention ten taels of gold, even a hundred taels, he will buy one back.
"Do you still have it?" Li Daozong sent the telescope in his hand to Li Shimin's desk.
"Not much." Li Chuan didn't think about taking it out, but think about it, if this thing is not for the general, what else can it be used? He can't just take a telescope to look at the scenery when he's fine!
"Take ten out first." Li Daozong calculated, there are ten for the time being, which is enough.
Li Shimin finally mustered up the courage to aim his eyes at the lenses, and then, emmm~~
"One hundred taels of gold, yes!" Li Shimin was very happy this time, and immediately signaled Wang Dehai to pick it up.
Li Chuan was so surprised, the stingy ghost suddenly became generous, isn't there some conspiracy here?!
Wang Dehai came back with a plate of gold and walked to Li Chuan's side.
Li Chuan picked up a gold ingot, looked at it, thought for a while, and put it to his mouth and bit it.
Li Shimin: "......"
Li Daozong: "......"
Wang Dehai: "......"
"Do you say, 'It's pure gold?' Li Chuan was not sure, so he asked for the opinions of the sailors.
[It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, can the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty refine pure gold? γ
[This...... Say no, okay? γ
[No, whether it is copper coins, silver ingots, or gold ingots, they are not pure, the difference is only in the amount of impurities. γ
"So, I don't know how much gold I have in my hand? At least better than 18K gold, right? Li Chuan was a little disappointed, but he did feel reasonable.
[Then it's not clear.] γ
Li Chuan took the tray, no matter what, the gold still had to be wanted.
can only let the Huanhai mudslide melt again by itself at that time.
"Boy, you're really eye-catching." Li Daozong shook his head speechlessly, and then asked puzzledly: "But what's the use of asking for gold?" I can't spend it. β
This is not a lie, as long as you don't buy too expensive things, in fact, you don't even have much money in the market, and most of the transactions are made with copper coins.
Gold can only be used to give gifts to others.
Or melt to make gold jewelry, make a head, make a gold lock for children, or draw gold thread and embroider on clothes?!
Li Daozong really couldn't think of what Li Chuan could use it for.
