Lu Dongzan's head retreated groggyly, the impact of what he saw and heard in the court was too great for him, and he needed to take some time to sort out his thoughts.

Li Shimin saw Lu Dongzan's appearance when he left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, he knew more about the situation in Tubo than Cai Cong, if it weren't for the fact that altitude sickness couldn't be overcome for a while, he would have found a guy who was a soldier who stirred up trouble in three days.

For this guy who wants to use the Wenhua of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen himself, Li Shimin is happy to draw their attention to the guy who hates foreign countries the most.

Lu Dongzan didn't know that Li Shimin's family and Cai Cong were all calculating themselves, and as soon as they returned to the annex, they were thinking about what to send, and even asked Du Chuke for advice.

Du Chuke smiled implicitly, his smile was full of disdain, the Cai family is rich and rivals the country, this is not empty talk, just saying that there are swimming fish in the sea, beasts in the snow mountains, and lambs in the grassland for a meal, it is no longer comparable to the lord of Tubo.

What's more, the Cai family also deliberately set up storage farms everywhere, just to raise ingredients with a better taste of taste.

Lu Dongzan only felt ashamed and humiliated, could it be that his Cai family had nothing to ask for? If Lao Tzu puts 10,000 taels of gold in front of him, I don't believe that the Cai family can still change their faces?

Lu Dongzan did what he said, if there are no ten thousand taels of gold, then prepare a thousand taels, three carts of treasures, a hundred servants and maids, a thousand cattle and sheep, and the rest are not counted.

Lu Dongzan opened the boxes of gold and treasures, two hundred servants and maidservants held bejeweled plates, and the group swaggered through the market on Chang'an Street, earning enough envy of the people to come to the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion.

"The head of the family, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, came to visit the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, this is a post and a gift list, please pass it on your behalf."

Lu Dongzan's servant stepped forward to hand over a post, and the guard at the door took a look at the post, and then looked at the treasure light on the street, and entered through the small door with the post.

"Sixth master, the prime minister of Tubo came to visit, this is their gift list, what do you think?" The guard found Liuzi and asked respectfully.

The sixth son took the list and glanced at it, threw the post on the table and said: "It's quite willing, return the gift list to them, and tell them that the master of the family is not there, and the young master is too young to entertain guests, so please go back!" ”

"Gotcha!"

Lu Dongzan sat in a sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, thinking about how to speak for a while, and at what price in exchange for the Enlightenment School, it would be better if he could say that the two countries could be traded.

When he was imagining a better life, the small door was pushed open, and the guard came out and returned the gift list to the servant, and said with a blank face: "The head of the family is far away in Yangzhou, and the young master is too young to entertain guests, please go back!" ”

"This, I'm afraid that the house has misunderstood, the prime minister is the eldest lady who came to visit the house, and there are important things to discuss."

The servant hurriedly said, he even doubted that this attendant had not gone to report, and walked out of the small door after a short while, could it be that this waiting house is not as big as it seems?

"If you don't see a guest, you won't see anyone when you visit. Please come back! ”

The guard said coldly, and the servant suddenly took out a handful of broken silver and stuffed it into the guard's arms. The guard smiled coldly and took out the silver and returned it to him, and casually took out a few large ingots of silver from his arms.

"Lao Tzu is a candidate for the house, will he be short of silver?"

"I'm afraid you're sick, so don't you panic with so much silver in your arms? Look at me, I'll put gold, not only is it not heavy, but the style is much higher. ”

The other guard smiled and pulled out a few ingots of gold from his bosom and taunted the previous guard.

Lu Dongzan's servant is speechless, piercing his heart! Everyone is mixed at the bottom, why is the difference so big?

"This eldest brother, you see that my master came with sincerity, can you bother to spread it again, my master will be grateful."

The servant said with a smile, people are not short of money at a glance, what can they do?

"Lu Dongzan came to visit the eldest lady of the Cai family, and invited the eldest lady to see her."

I don't know when Lu Dongzan was already standing at the door and said loudly, he personally spoke, and the people around him were talking about the excitement.

The guards at the door were at a loss, and it was the first time that such a big man had encountered such a big man talking on the street, and it would be better if he hit the pillar like Wei Zheng, and they could still come forward to stop him.

At this time, the small door opened again, and Shi Shiran, the little sixth son, walked out, looked at Lu Dongzan with a torch-like gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose and said to him unhurriedly: "Today, the Houfu is closed to thank you, please go back!" ”

"The Yama gatehouse came out to speak, it seems that this Tibetan official must not have given him a gift."

"Yes, yes, if you give a gift, you won't even be able to enter the door."

"This Tibetan official is not sensible, last time I saw the prince being extorted a piece of jade pendant before entering the door, this old boy wants to enter without giving anything?"

"Whimsical, wishful thinking, I'm afraid that this Tibetan official hasn't inquired about this master's temperament."

The onlookers and the people who ate melons spoke one after another, one of them was a member of a book club, and he was terrible at gossiping, and he insisted that Li Chengqian was blackmailed when he saw the scene when Li Chengqian rewarded the little sixth son with a jade pendant.

Lu Dongzan frowned and looked at the small door that was closed again, he could only order to go home.

When he returned to Honglu Temple, he wanted to find Du Chuke to understand where the gatehouse of Caifu was sacred, and he could be so arrogant.

It's a pity that he is destined to be in vain, Du Chuke has already gone to those craftsmen to upgrade the half-baked apprentice to a craftsman.

"You can think clearly, if you are willing to go by yourself, it is fine, if you are not willing to go, you have to consider my opinion."

A petty official of the Ministry of Industry said lightly with his hands behind his back, and in front of him were craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. One by one, they all slumped over, looking at him worriedly, and from time to time they peeked at Du Chuke who was enjoying the scenery in the distance.

"We are all lowly families who are bitter and haha, Shangguan said that I will listen to it, even if you command, we will obey."

The craftsman said respectfully, they may not be afraid of Du Chuke's senior official, but this junior official in front of them is their direct superior, and it is not much more difficult to kill them than to pinch an ant to death.

"Press, this is a good thing for you and your disciples, you must know that Your Majesty will select a group of people from among the craftsmen to send to Tibet, if you go there, you will definitely die in a foreign land in the future. You don't have to say that you are rich now, but the family is full of belly, and you don't have to worry about a few new clothes a year, if you go to Tubo and can't take it with you, you are afraid that you will starve to death if you stay in Chang'an.

Your disciples are different, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking when they go to Tibet, there are rewards on top, and there are people to feed the family, so how to choose you and think for yourself. ”

The petty official said in an official tone, this is not all false, when it comes to Tibet, he is nominally a free man, but in fact he is a slave. The little official still hasn't said anything, that is, the craftsman will definitely be able to live if he goes, but those apprentices are afraid that they will be beaten to death by the angry Lu Dongzan.
