Chapter 259: Another Miracle
Throughout the dynasties, Kyoto was the center of the world's economy, and the demand for luxury jewelry was endless.
In particular, the treasures from the Western Regions are even more distant countries, and they are even more popular.
After the opening, the entire West Market simply became a feast of wealth, amber, gems, opal, glass, and extremely expensive treasures from the Western Regions, but in the eyes of those wealthy families, they didn't look at the price at all, and directly swept the goods.
Merton couldn't help but marvel at how rich the rich people in Chang'an City were, and they were even more willing to spend money.
Princess Changle was excited to walk among the Hu merchants in the West Market, and she was amazed to see that everything was new.
"This Persian carpet is so beautiful, the queen mother must like it."
Princess Changle stroked the softened Persian carpet in her hand and said happily.
She now owns an ice cream parlor, and one summer is a rich woman who is famous in the palace.
"Miss really has a vision, this is made of pure Persian lamb wool, which is a collection of hundreds of skilled craftsmen from Persia, it took a year to compile and it was transported to Chang'an City." A Hu man shopkeeper spoke fluent Guanzhong dialect and said to Princess Changle.
"Not far?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but smack his tongue.
Merton nodded and said: "It will take at least a year to come to the Tang Dynasty from Persia, if the camel team travels fifty miles a day, except for the time to rest on the road, then it will be tens of thousands of miles away, and if it is a more distant Great Qin Empire, it will be even more distant." ”
According to the research of later generations, the entire Silk Road is 7,000 kilometers, that is, 14,000 miles.
"These people are really crazy to come so far to do business." Li Chengqian said with emotion.
"The long journey is nothing, what is even more difficult is the treacherous environment they encountered on the way, the vast desert, the fierce sand bandits, and the extortion of the countries along the way, this whole is a history of blood and tears." Merton nodded.
"It's crazy!" Li Chengqian smacked his tongue and said.
"No, I think it's the most courageous of all." Merton shook his head.
The people who often walk the Silk Road are probably the most adventurous people of this era, and it can even be said that they are a group of people who changed the world, and China's four great inventions were transmitted to the West through the Silk Road, thus changing the course of the world.
Soon, Princess Changle chose a Persian carpet, stretched out her hand, and a maid happily picked up the gold leaf to pay the bill.
Subsequently, Princess Changle opened the woman mode, and began to walk around the West Market with great interest, Hetian jade with a big fist, precious camel skin, and strange pearl treasure did not hesitate to take it when she saw it, and the expensive Su Hexiang was directly bought with a full box.
Even Li Chengqian couldn't help but see that he was happy to hunt and started a few things, but his financial resources were limited, and he couldn't compare to Princess Changle's generosity.
"Brother Mo is a well-known new rich man in Chang'an City, don't buy some of these things." Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask when he saw that Merton was still empty-handed along the way.
Morton shook his head and said: "The Mo family advocates frugality, some things are enough, and the Mo family doesn't need these precious things." ”
Although these things are relatively expensive, Merton, who has this experience in later life, can naturally not look down on these things, let alone spend such a large price to buy them.
"Then why did Brother Mo agree to participate in this grand event in the Western Regions?" Princess Changle asked reluctantly holding a jewel.
If Merton hadn't taken the lead in nodding and agreeing to participate in the Western Regions Grand Event, allowing him to take advantage of the situation, the entire Western Regions Grand Event would not have been carried out on such a large scale.
Merton smiled mysteriously and said, "That's naturally what these Hu merchants need in their hands. ”
"Precious?" Princess Changle asked.
Merton nodded, "Worth a fortune." ”
Princess Changle and Li Chengqian looked at Merton in shock, but seeing Morton's solemn look, it didn't look like they were joking.
"That palace is waiting to be an eye-opener." Princess Changle glanced at Merton charmingly, she trusted Merton very much, and did not think that Merton would lie to herself.
There are a lot of people who pay attention to the Mo family in the entire Western Regions Festival, but since the grand ceremony began, the Mo family village has not taken any action except for letting Gongsun Yue perform on stage.
Xie Qianchou sold a lot, but Zheng Qian and the others were so happy that they couldn't find the north, and the Mo family, the commodity of the Western Regions Festival, didn't buy a penny.
In the entire Western Regions event, there were many people staring at the Mo family, and many of them speculated that the reason why the Mo family participated this time must have found a great business opportunity, but for some reason there was no business opportunity.
The Western Regions Grand Gathering lasted for a total of five days, a full four days, but the Mo family did not make the slightest move. Until the evening of the fourth day, a powerful news came that Mojia Village had bought all the diamonds for the Western Regions Festival, and would show the charm of diamonds tomorrow.
"Diamonds?"
For a moment, everyone didn't understand the purpose of Mojia Village's move.
"Is Mo Jiazi stupid, diamond is extremely hard, difficult to carve, and of no use at all." Many people questioned.
In addition to the characteristics of hardness, diamond is difficult to use at all, and the price in the west of Chang'an City is not high at all, and it is generally collected as a rare thing. Rao is like this, and there are very few people who can buy it.
"How can it be useless, if it is not used, the Mo family will buy it, then it is the Mo family!" More people believe that this diamond must be worth a lot of money, otherwise how could Mo Jiazi be so fanfare.
There are different opinions and expectations, and Mo Jiazi is about to create another miracle.
Chang'an City was restless overnight, and on the fifth day, the entire Chang'an City was surging and gathered in the West Market.
In the heart of the West City. It's still crowded.
On the stage, the sword was shining, and Gongsun Yue was dancing and was extremely fit.
After the dance, Gongsun Yuexiang was drenched in sweat.
Although everyone applauded repeatedly, their thoughts were already not on Gongsun Yue's body.
"Why hasn't Merton come out yet?" Offstage, in an excellent position, Qin Huaiyu frowned and asked.
"It should be soon! By the way, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd this time? Cheng Chumo raised his head and looked left and right.
Qin Huaiyu and Yu Chi Baolin shook their heads in unison and said, "This kid Mo Dun didn't say anything at all. ”
The unknown is the most curious, and the hearts of the three of them are like a kitten, and they keep scratching.
There are many people who feel the same way, and everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that Merton will once again create a legend of wealth.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, a handsome young man in black slowly walked to the front desk, this person was Merton.
"Mo Jiazi!"
"Mo Jiazi!"
………………
The people of Chang'an City in the audience shouted in unison, and the atmosphere of the whole scene was extremely warm, and everyone was looking forward to Merton creating a miracle again.
