Chapter 157: Diamonds

"Isn't there too little planned to be in the library? After all, in the plan, in the next five to ten years, a number of libraries will be built in Jingzhou and Luoyang. Rather than printing again at that time, it is better to print more at once. ”

"For classics, only one copy should be left in each branch. After all, no one studies these books now, and few people read them. Zheng Sheng thought again, "In addition to the classics of the various families, how many poems and works of the previous generations are there?" ”

Ren replied: "There are about ten articles. For example, Fu Yi, a fufeng man during the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote "Wu Zhong Poems", which the prince can see. ”

"Oh!" Zheng Sheng thought about it, but he really couldn't remember who Fu Yi was.

Eastern han dynasty? Zheng Sheng didn't know anyone except for the literati Ban Gu, Zhang Heng, Cai Wenji and her father Cai Yong in the Three Kingdoms!

On April 14, Zheng Sheng took a sufficient amount of charcoal from the warehouse, placed it in a hidden corner of the bamboo forest, and finally picked up a small piece and returned it.

At night, go to bed on time. The exchange space arrived as promised, appearing in his dream.

Put the "carbon mountain" on the right tray, and after the word "ask" appeared above the left tray, Zheng Sheng read a sentence silently.

He waited expectantly.

Suddenly, the dim halo on the left tray lit up, and a small thing emerged. Zheng Sheng blinked, confirmed again, and set his eyes on the tray on the right.

"Damn! This is? What is the difference between a mountain and an ant? Or is it the gap between the sun and the earth? ”

Zheng Sheng felt like he had blown up."

When he opened his eyes, he saw the "ant". Zheng Sheng frowned and put it in his hand, a small one, not much bigger than his thumb.

"How many grams is this? No, Carat? Uh, how many carats is a gram? Zheng Sheng scratched his head, this knowledge is beyond the outline!

Then he roughly touched it, and it felt much lighter than an egg.

Three hundred kilograms of charcoal were exchanged for a maximum of twenty or thirty grams of diamonds, which should be ...... Earned, right?

He took a closer look at its crystal clear surface, and the diamond he exchanged for was the one Zheng Sheng remembered and appeared on TVβ€”round diamonds with dozens of facets.

"It's beautiful indeed!" Zheng Sheng muttered to himself, carefully gazing at the most expensive gem in the future. However, he suddenly had a question in his heart, how did this thing be sold for the most expensive gem in the future life? Is it because of scarcity? Or is it the "allegorical" it contains?

His strange behavior finally caught the attention of the girls.

Qing'er ran over, staring at the thing in Zheng Sheng's hand with shining eyes, "Shizi, what is this?" ”

"It's a diamond." Zheng Sheng replied, and then explained to her, "This is the strongest and most beautiful gem in the world!" ”

"Wow!" Qing'er took it in her hand, shook it from side to side, and pouted: "Shizi, you lie!" This diamond is no different from white glass. It's also beautiful, and the white glass is much bigger! White glass is better than diamonds. ”

Zheng Sheng almost choked to death with his own saliva, he couldn't accept Qing'er's logic, "Glass can't be compared to diamond!" ”

"What's not to compare? I also think the white glass is good. Okay, stop the ink, hurry up! Wen Xiaoting looked at it from the side and said indifferently.

"White glass is fragile, but diamonds are the strongest thing in the world." Zheng Shengdao, if he didn't add extra value to the diamond, just by the appearance of the diamond, in the current Western Jin Dynasty, it might indeed be inferior to the "fire" white glass.

"The sturdiest thing? Sneerβ€”β€”, I don't believe how strong it is? Wen Xiaoting was skeptical.

"If you don't believe it, then you can try!" Zheng Sheng was thinking about it and responded casually.

"You don't regret it!" Wen Xiaoting took the diamond from Qing'er's hand, and then slammed it to the ground.

"Ahh Don't! Qing'er hurriedly picked it up, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Huh? Didn't break? ”

In an instant, Qing'er noticed its peculiarity, "It's really not broken!" Is it really the strongest object in the world? ”

"There are a lot of things that don't break. I don't believe it's going to be the strongest! Wen Xiaoting snatched it from Qing'er's hand and thought for a while, "I'm going to smash it with a stone or chop it with a knife!" ”

Without waiting for Zheng Sheng to regret it, she turned around and ran out. Qing'er hurriedly followed, "Don't! Please don't do that! ”

Liu Wen'er asked Zheng Sheng, who was still thinking about things, "Shizi, why don't you stop her?" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "I said, it is the strongest object in the world!" ”

Liu Wen'er was suspicious, and the two quickly caught up with them.

Qing'er ran back in fear, "Shizi, Sister Xiaoting, she ...... It's scary! She didn't break the diamond with a stone, she was already chopping it with her knife! ”

Zheng Sheng sighed in his heart, although the diamond is known as the hardest substance, but if it is used to collide with the iron knife, Zheng Sheng is really worried that it will cause damage to the diamond.

Zheng Sheng's feet sped up, but in the end, he could only see Wen Xiaoting standing quietly in front of a wooden stake from a distance, and suddenly waved the short knife in his right hand and slashed at the surface of the pile.

"Shizi, she really cut that diamond!" Qing'er said urgently.

It was too late to stop it, and Wen Xiaoting didn't know how many times she swung the knife, anyway, Zheng Sheng saw more than two or three times......

Zheng Sheng twisted in his heart, looking at her actions as if venting his emotions, he suddenly gave up saving the diamond, "Forget it, she's 'enchanted' again, let her chop and play!" ”

Anyway, he can continue to redeem!

At this time, Wen Xiaoting suddenly stopped, and then screamed loudly: "Ah~~~"

Then, she rushed over violently, and Zheng Sheng wanted to retreat, but was blocked by Qing'er, who retracted behind him.

Zheng Sheng grabbed Liu Wei'er, who wanted to step forward, and looked at the imposing girl in front of him in a defensive posture.

"Zheng Sheng! You're ruthless! You pay for my sword! She said viciously.

Zheng Sheng was a little surprised, "What did you say?" ”

"Your broken stone has broken my sword! Compensate me! Wen Xiaoting handed the blade to him and said angrily.

Zheng Sheng looked at the gap in the blade and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It's not my fault, right?" You cut it with a knife. ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then unceremoniously cracked his mouth and laughed.

Qing'er looked at this scene in shock, "Wow! It's so sturdy! She didn't see Wen Xiaoting having the gem in her hand, so she ran briskly to the wooden stake in front of her.

"You pay me!" Wen Xiaoting was in front of her with a horizontal knife and said coldly at Zheng Sheng.

Zheng Shengdun was creepy, "Hey! Don't be impulsive, this knife can hurt people! Okay, okay, I'll pay you a knife. ”

"Sister Xiaoting, where's the diamond? Why are the diamonds missing? Qing'er ran back to the hurried road.

Wen Xiaoting's expression that had just been relieved suddenly froze, she thought about it, and replied with some hesitation: "It seems that I split it and splashed it out?" ”

Qing'er pursed her lips and wanted to cry.

Liu Wei'er hurriedly grabbed her, "Maybe it's not bad!" Let's find out! ”

Liu Wei'er relieved Wen Xiaoting from the siege, but after they left, she continued to question Zheng Sheng: "This knife is a treasure knife given to me by my father, you will never use an ordinary iron knife to fool you through!" ”

Zheng Sheng said impatiently, "Please, it's obviously your fault." It was you who cut the diamonds with your father's relics, and I will compensate you......"

Zheng Sheng's words couldn't be said again.

Listening to Zheng Sheng's words, it seemed that the forbidden area in her heart was touched again, and Wen Xiaoting cried.

Zheng Sheng couldn't help but think of her situation in his heart, and Zheng Sheng had to comfort: "Okay, okay." I'll pay you a good knife. It's even more ...... than this one No, it's not much worse than this knife! ”

Wen Xiaoting wiped away the tears on her cheeks, "Hello?" I've been to the Iron Smelting Valley, and I've seen the knife you can forge now, but it's far worse than my sword! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then you wait and see! Zheng Sheng left a final reply.

He walked over and helped in the search.

"Shizi, Shizi, it's really not bad! Sister Xiaoting's knife didn't cut it either! Qing'er finally recovered the diamond under a green grass. Moreover, the diamond was not broken at all, which really shocked everyone!

Wen Xiaoting was stunned: "It's not bad? My knives are broken...... "She took the diamond from Qing'er's hand, and in the bright sunlight, its light was even brighter, like a small sun, which made it almost impossible to look at directly.

Qing'er said angrily: "Sister Xiaoting, how can you be like this!" ”

Wen Xiaoting returned the diamond to her, turned around and continued to talk to Zheng Sheng: "Zheng Sheng, where did this thing come from?" I want one too, but it's too small, but there are bigger ones? Are there any different shapes? ”

Zheng Sheng looked at her in surprise. Wen Xiaoting stared back with a silent gaze.

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to reply: "The biggest is so big, but it can have various shapes." What shape do you want? Round or square? ”

Wen Xiaoting opened her mouth, but she didn't say her "favorite" shape, "Forget it, I don't want it." ”

Zheng Sheng tasted something unusual from her eyes and words, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zheng Sheng sensed that she seemed to have other plans, but Wen Xiaoting chose to ignore his doubts, and Zheng Sheng did not have the slightest way to explore her inner thoughts.

However, Zheng Sheng soon stopped caring about her problem.

Qing'er held the diamond tightly and leaned over to Zheng Sheng's side, "Shizi~"

Zheng Sheng immediately understood her thoughts, but he was a little embarrassed, and it was nothing to give it to Qing'er, but there was also Liu Wei'er!

If you favor one over the other, something will definitely happen! Not to mention...... Giving girls diamonds is of great significance in the future generations! Well, although the Western Jin Dynasty and the later generations are two completely different worlds.

Zheng Sheng spread his hands: "I only have this one, how do you and Sniff want to divide it?" ”

Qing'er looked at her partner, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, yes, and sniffing!

Liu Wei'er shook her head at Zheng Sheng, signaling that she could not have this gift.

"In that case, I don't want it either!" Qing'er reluctantly returned the diamond to Zheng Sheng.

Zheng Sheng suddenly thought of an idea, "It's better like this!" Qing'er, you count how many faces it has, and when you count it, I'll reward it to you! As compensation, Sniff can go to the warehouse and pick up a few white glasses. ”
