Li An is not very clear about the prices of various medicinal materials, after all, Li An's level in this area is still relatively low, and he does not have any decent research, let alone think of using the sale of medicinal materials to make a living, so he naturally does not know the price of various medicinal materials.

Especially stalactites, which are unpopular medicinal materials, are very likely not to be available in general pharmacies, let alone know his price, however, Li An feels that although this stalactite is relatively rare, it is a stone after all, and the amount will not be very large, so if you want to raise the price, I am afraid that it is impossible, and it is estimated that the price should not be very expensive.

Of course, if you buy a few tons of landscape stalactites, the price will definitely not be low, after all, huge stalactites, transportation will have a great cost, and the weight of the price itself will be very expensive, plus it is a landscape stone, the price is conceivable.

In the later generations of the Great Song Dynasty, the royal family and ministers all like the strange appearance of the stone, and from the whole world to collect, the formation of a special flower stone class, if the stalactite shape is good enough, into the flower stone class, then, the price is going to turn the sky, will be very expensive.

Li An took a look, there are many stalactites in the cave in front of him, there are many shapes are very good, can be regarded as excellent landscape stalactites, the price is naturally relatively high, and some of the fine stalactites are not worth much.

"Although even Li Shilang doesn't know how much these can be worth, but if they can really be used in medicine, they will definitely not be cheap, and they will definitely be worth a lot of money?"

Li Xiaolu said with a smile.

Li An smiled slightly, looked at Li Xiaolu, and said, "What, Xiaolu is planning to sell these stalactites as medicinal materials?" ”

Li Xiaolu shook her head and said, "How come? I just think that I should be happy that there are such treasures in my hometown, and besides, these stones are so beautiful, it would be a pity to sell them, and it would be nice to put them here. ”

Ang Lee agreed with great approval: "Xiaolu is right, these stalactites are the treasures of Gibraltar, and they must not be damaged, this is a treasure given to Gibraltar by nature, and it must be well protected." ”

"So, does Li Shilang also want to make a protection area for this cave?"

Li Xiaolu asked curiously.

Li An smiled and said: "This is natural, macaques need to be protected, the same way, this cave also needs to be well protected, this is the treasure of Gibraltar, any damage is a great loss, however, there is no need to build a cave reserve, because this cave is in the macaque reserve, it is part of the macaque reserve, and naturally it is necessary to strengthen protection, in the future, every grass and tree on this mountain will be protected, and no one can destroy a single grass and tree here at will, so, The landscapes, flora and fauna here will always be there, and they will always be so beautiful. ”

"Huh! Li Shilang, let's go to the lower level and have a look! It's a little cold on the lower floor, so let's put on some clothes! ”

Li Xiaolu smiled and brought two warm clothes, when he set off, Li An also wondered, what is Li Xiaolu doing with cold clothes on a hot day, isn't this an extra move, but when he entered the cave at this moment, he found that Li Xiaolu was prescient, it turned out that the temperature in the cave was so much lower than outside, this is still a large space on the upper floor, and the temperature on the lower floor is even lower.

Li An obediently put on his clothes and walked along the rugged road in the cave to the lower level of the cave, followed by only a few soldiers, two in front and two in the back, and the rest were waiting in the upper cave.

After walking into the lower floor, Li An found that the temperature of the lower floor was indeed much lower than that of the upper floor, which really gave people a bleak feeling, if there were no warm clothes, it would be difficult to stay in such a scene for a long time.

For example, the cold storage of later generations, the temperature is about ten degrees, and because the temperature in summer is very high, people are wearing short sleeves, so if you need to enter the cold storage, you need to wear additional cotton clothes, otherwise, you will be frozen for a long time.

Several soldiers did not wear additional clothes, and after entering the cold storage, they all made a sound of freezing, although it was not too cold, but if they stayed for a long time, they would obviously feel an uncomfortable cold.

Li An walked down cautiously, and at the same time reminded the soldiers in front of him to be careful, don't fall, the terrain inside is a little dangerous, if you fall into the pool, it is very likely to be seriously injured.

"Li Shilang, look, this is the pool in the cave, isn't it very beautiful, this water is very cold."

Li Xiaolu said.

After Li An walked down, he also saw the pool at the bottom of the cave, this pool is really very beautiful, the water in it is very clean, and it is pure mountain spring water at a glance.

There was a place around the pool where you could go down, and since Ang Lee was here, why didn't he try the spring water himself? If you don't try it yourself, it won't be for nothing.

"Li Shilang, be careful, wait for me."

Li Xiaolu also has to follow.

Ang Lee helped her down from below, and then walked to the side of the pool step by step.

After approaching the pool, Li An obviously felt that the temperature was lower, but looking at the clean water, Li An felt very happy, such a pure water source is rare, if you don't try the temperature, wash your face or something, I'm really sorry for myself.

Li An squatted down and gently picked up some spring water, and immediately felt the coldness and comfort of the spring water.

The reflection of the stalactites on the top of the head in the water in the hands feels so beautiful, and it looks particularly comfortable, and with the shaking of the palm, the stalactites reflected in the hands also shake, and it feels so beautiful.

"This lake is really beautiful, it's so beautiful, the water here is so pure, it's like melting snow on an iceberg, it's very pleasant to see."

Ang Lee praised from the bottom of his heart, and said, "How can no one come to appreciate such a beautiful lake?" Don't the people who live here come to enjoy the coolness? ”

Li Xiaolu said: "This cave is relatively hidden, after our local people were driven away, the Moors who live here may not have discovered this cave yet!" ”

Li Xiaolu observed for a long time and made sure that there were no traces of human beings here, so he spoke.

Li Ang also found it when he first entered the cave, and he was also very puzzled at that time, how could there be no one in such a beautiful and comfortable cave? It's so hot, someone should come in to escape the heat! Or if someone has been here before, there will be certain traces inside, but when Li An entered, he didn't see any traces, and there was no sign of anyone coming.

"This cave is indeed relatively hidden, if you people who have been driven away don't say it, the Moors are really not easy to find, haha! It's so good to keep hiding, not telling these guys. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Such a beautiful cave, of course Li An is not willing to let people come over and destroy it, even if Gibraltar is obtained by the Tang Dynasty in the future, he will not let people enter it casually, so as not to cause damage to the stones in the cave, so it will be the loss of the entire Tang Empire.

Sometimes, Ang Lee would also consider that it would be nice if he could move the entire cave of Gibraltar to Chang'an City, but this is obviously very unrealistic, such a huge cave, no machine can have such great capacity.

Even if all the stones in the cave were cut and coded, and they would be reassembled, it would require huge manpower and transportation capacity, which would be a waste of money and labor, and Li An was unwilling to do it.

Of course, in the history of China, there are still some people who do things that work hard and hurt money for the sake of personal enjoyment, regardless of the lives of the common people.

For example, Song Huizong, a literary master of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a very elegant emperor, he not only had a high cultural literacy, but also was an emperor who loved flowers and strange stones, and he liked the most beautiful strange stones and the most distinctive flowers and plants in the world, and hoped to keep them for himself.

Since the emperor likes exotic flowers and stones, the sycophants below will naturally not be idle, and they will try to search for exotic flowers and stones, just to make the emperor smile, so as to gain the emperor's favor.

And for the sake of personal enjoyment, the emperor will of course condone the misdeeds of these traitorous ministers under his command, and almost all the evil consequences are borne by ordinary people.

In order to better collect the strange flowers and stones all over the world, Song Huizong, the faint king, actually made a bureau of Yingfeng, the address is located in Suzhou, the function is to collect the flowers and plants all over the world, and transport them to the capital Bianjing for the emperor to enjoy and play.

At that time, because there were too many exotic flowers and stones collected, a large number of ships needed to be used to transport, and even directly mobilized the grain carriers of Caoyun, and in order to marshall, they turned ten ships into one gang, which is the so-called Huashi Gang.

In the Song Dynasty, most of the materials for land and water transportation were organized into a compendium, such as horses, rice and so on, among them, the horses were 50 horses for a compendium, and 10,000 deniers of rice for a compendium.

Collecting exotic flowers and stones, it costs a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and the key is to disturb the people, which is the most impactful, because many exotic flowers and stones are not in the wild, but in the homes of ordinary people.

And once these strange flowers and stones are taken by these officials in charge of the flower stone gang, it is the emperor's thing, just use yellow paper to paste, the common people must guard it every day, and not let it have the slightest damage, otherwise, it will be punished for the crime of disrespect, a light fine, and a heavy prison sentence.

Some of the families were requisitioned with tall flowers and trees, which were inconvenient to carry, so the soldiers demolished the houses and destroyed the walls. Those errand officers and soldiers took the opportunity to extort money, and the families of those who were expropriated from Huashi were often ruined, and some people sold their children and daughters, fleeing everywhere, and the common people were miserable, and they hated the people in charge of Huashigang.

The most hateful thing is that Song Huizong once got a tribute of Taihu Lake stone, up to four zhang, which can be described as very huge, and in order to transport this huge stone, all the facilities that can block the boulder along the way must be demolished, such as the city wall is in the way, then the city wall will be demolished, if the bridge is in the way, then the bridge will be demolished, in short, for the enjoyment of the emperor's old man, what is in the way will be demolished, and then, after a lot of hard work, finally this huge Taihu Lake stone was transported to Bianjing.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the emperor's old man, it is a very happy thing to get a good-looking Taihu Lake stone, and he can show off to his concubines, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is too laborious and costly, and they are all ruined.

Of course, the purpose of the emperor's old man is just for personal entertainment, as long as he can get strange flowers and stones, and he doesn't mean to kill the common people, but the officials who do the specific things below don't think so, they work for the emperor, of course, they want to take the opportunity to make some benefits.

For example, after taking a fancy to the flowers and trees in the people's homes, they will put a seal on the flowers and trees, so that the people can keep them well, and then, just find an excuse to say that the flowers and trees are damaged, and the people should be treated for the crime of unfavorable custody, and then it is extortion.

And because Huashigang made too many people ruined, so, soon, in the Huashigang area in the south, a vigorous Fangla uprising was set off, and the rebel army attacked the city all the way, and the troops grew to nearly one million people, shocking the southeast area.

Since ancient times, the growth of any rebel army needs the most basic condition, that is, public opinion, if there is no support of the people, no rebel army can get the opportunity to grow, and Huashigang makes the people in the southeast have no way to live, so they are naturally very willing to join the rebel army, so that the rebel army continues to grow and develop, forming a great climate.

In addition, the largest garden built in the Northern Song Dynasty Empire, it is to spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources, there are all kinds of strange flowers and stones collected from all over the world, the largest garden circumference of this empire is about six miles, the area is about 750 acres, there is a three-peak Shou Mountain built, the peaks on both sides are the guest position, the main peak in the middle is as high as 150 meters, there is a mountain stream and the second peak Wan Songling is separated. It is a mountain system with clear distinction between guests and hosts, and echoes from far and near.

The southeast of Shoushan is the Furong City that spreads for a mile, and the southwest is the pond and marsh area, and the pond water is divided into two branches through the Huixi, one of which flows into the mountain stream and flows into the Dafang Marsh and the Wild Goose Pond;

The other flows around Wansong Ridge and into Fengchi. There are more than 40 buildings in the whole garden, there are both palace-style pavilions, pavilions, buildings, and platforms, and there are cottages and cottages in the countryside style, and the architectural shapes are different. In addition, there are two gardens in the western part of Genyue, the famous Yaoliao and Xizhuang, which imitate the scenery of a farmhouse.

Between the mountains and rivers, there are also dotted with precious flowers and trees collected from all over the country, forming scenic spots dominated by ornamental plants, such as Meiling, Xingxiu, Dingzhang, Jiaoya, Longbaipo, Banzhulu and so on. There are also a variety of exotic birds and beasts in the forest. Genyue stacked mountains are cleverly conceived, Shoushan is saggy, two peaks stand side by side, and the columns are like screens. The scenery in the mountain, stone paths, pedal paths, pavilions, and caves emerge in endlessly. The water system of the whole park is complete, the rivers, lakes and streams are integrated into it, the mountains are surrounded by water, and the style is natural.
