Thinking through the total correlation node, Bai Liyan concealed the ups and downs of his heart, and he said:

"Master Zhao, Ben Hou wants to redeem the two sisters, so it's convenient for Master Zhao."

"Since Yongxing Hou spoke, he naturally wants to do his best to satisfy Your Excellency, but I don't know how Your Excellency is going to make a price."

"Open in half, Ben Hou out 1,600 inches of silver cash, ten golden silkworms of the highest quality silk, and this bull's eye pearl, the discount of the three in one should be more than 3,600 silver, what is Zhao Fang's idea."

Bailiyan took out a brocade box, which contained a large purple gold pearl, which was as big as a bull's eye and like a star, which was extremely rare. Zhao Sheng took a closer look, and was surprised in his heart, he knew that Xianguo produced pearls, but he had never seen such a big one.

But then I thought about it, there are as many salty pearls as beans and rice, although the one in front of me is very big, but if there are a lot of them, it is also worthless. Zhao Sheng was vigilant, and hurriedly said:

"Everyone in the world knows that there are many pearls in Xianguo, this pearl is indeed rare, but it has to be folded more than 2,000 inches of silver, and Zhao does not dare to make decisions without permission, Yongxing Hou, you can see if you can use other things as funds."

"Bastard, something with no eyes!" Baili Yan scolded, and then said: "You go to find a grain of these jewels and show them to Ben Hou, are the treasures of the world really worthless like dung!" ”

"No, no, no, Yongxing Hou is angry, Zhao has no such intention. It's just that the amount of 2,000 inches of silver is huge, and Zhao really can't be the master, can Yongxing Hou allow Zhao to reply after the master. ”

"Hmph, only for you one day, tomorrow the Japanese Hou will come to mention people, if you don't give it, don't blame Ben Hou for stepping on the Four Seasons Fang."

Bailiyan is violent, with a non-negotiable look, but in fact, his heart is also very empty.

The price of large pearls produced in Xianguo is 2,000 inches of silver, and since it was launched seven years ago, it has been unpopular, and the reason is that it is not only the technical batch cultivation, which has made the commodity lose its rarity, but also many people take it for granted that six-year-old pearls can be as easy as two-year-old pearls, and the two factors are superimposed, so that the pearl market is no longer as easy to make money as in the early days.

Coupled with the development of industrial technology in Xianguo, the production and processing of jade materials have achieved mass production and a large number of foreign exports, while jade pearls have a longer period of preservation value than pearls, and the price is lower, so pearls have lost their due market and status.

Zhao Sheng's remarks made Bai Lifang a little annoyed, and when she retreated, she said:

"This eyeless thing is so infuriating. Dad, this dog won't be perfunctory to us. ”

"He doesn't dare, your father just won't give a penny and forcibly take people away, and he won't dare to do anything. But this is not good after all, and face still has to be given. 1,600 inches of silver is already a lot of money, even if others come to redeem themselves, they will definitely not be able to take out 1,600 inches of silver, not to mention that there are ten golden silkworm silkworms, they will weigh it. ”

After speaking, Bai Liyan instructed Xu Weidao:

"Xu Yan, you bring someone to accompany Fang'er to continue here, and you must go back to the house before dark."

"No!"

1,600 inches of silver is a lot of money even in Xianguo, and it is even more sky-high in foreign countries where precious metals are scarce.

The pair of sisters are worth a thousand silver at most, and he gives one thousand six, plus ten golden silkworm silkworms, which is already enough for the Four Seasons Fang to face, and the Four Seasons Fang should also give him Yongxinghou a face, and that pearl is at best a free gift, and it is obviously unrealistic to want the other party to recognize the pearl.

After instructing Xu Wei, Bailiyan left twenty people to guard at Sijifang to take Bailifang back home. At this time, just after noon, he took Wei Qi and others to Sun Guoguan to see Zhen Kuo, the prince of Sun Guo.

Since the Black Turban Rebellion, although Sun Guo has existed in name only, he has changed three lords during the period, and the current Sun Guozhu has a very weak bloodline with the Zhen family twenty years ago, but his surname is Zhen, and he has little to do with the old royal family of Sun Guo in his bones.

Although the lord of the state was only a nominally favored king, Sun Guoxi's flight to the west took with him the vast majority of the imperial bureaucracy, so Sun's civil and military aristocratic system was basically sound, and important cabinet members and family factions were retained.

Therefore, nominally, as long as the surname of the head of the country is Zhen, the nature of the country has not changed. Since the bureaucracy was spared, there was political space for Sun's restoration, and Liang also needed Sun's promotion of Zionism in order to seek further expansion.

The fall of the Black Turban Liang State captured one county of Sun State, and after the defeat of the Patriotic State, Liang State could get another county or two counties. When Sun Guo recovers the country, Liang will inevitably use land as a condition to support Sun Guo's recovery, so that not only will he get land, but also mess up the Central Plains again, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. If he Bailiyan doesn't do something to get cheap, it is really intolerable.

Knowing that the Marquis of Yongxing of Xianguo personally came to the pavilion, Prince Zhen Kuo was very surprised, and he was busy dressing up and went to the outside of the museum to greet him:

"Sun Guo Zhen Kuo has seen Yongxing Hou."

"The prince deigned to greet him in person, Yan was deeply frightened, please accept Yan's worship."

Bailiyan bowed down, the number of courtesies was extremely courteous, Zhen Kuo was greatly moved, and he was busy stepping forward to help:

"Yongxing Hou, please excuse me, please take a seat in the hall."

"Prince Xie."

Put away their manners, and everyone followed Zhen Kuo to the middle hall of the pavilion. After Bailiyan sat down, Zhen Kuo couldn't wait to ask:

"Yongxing Hou came, Zhen Kuo felt flattered, and I didn't know where Zhen Kuo could serve."

"The prince's words are serious, how dare Yan bother the prince to serve. Coming here today is also a coincidence. ”

"Oh, what a coincidence?"

Zhen Kuo asked, and Bai Liyan explained in detail the music box that Xinlingjun gave to his new wife Zhao. Seeing that Zhen Kuo's face was different, Bailiyan decided that Zhen Kuo was secretly peddling to raise funds for recovery.

"I thought that this thing was very exquisite, and I wanted to ask your country for the method of making it so that I could present it to my king."

"I see, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Yongxinghou."

Zhen Kuo said in frustration, Bai Liyan pretended to be surprised:

"Oh, why is that?"

"It's not a secret, the treasure that Yongxing Hou saw was called 'Bailing Box', which was secretly made by Xinling Jun when he hired skilled craftsmen, and there are many people who know it, and this is the only one in the world. After the Black Turban Rebellion, his whereabouts are unknown, and I don't want to have such a coincidence to be captured by Yongxing Hou, it's really touching to think about it......"

Zhen Kuo did not admit that the Bailing Box was sold by him, obviously because he did not want to publicize Sun Guo's pursuit of funds to restore the country.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan did not continue to probe the temptation, and pretended to be sympathetic:

"Alas...... Thinking about how powerful Sun Guo was back then, Ben Hou also deeply sympathized with what happened to your country. And my Xianguo couldn't help himself back then, occupying the land of the four counties, and I was ashamed to come to Benhou. ”

"Yongxing Hou said this is wrong, throughout the world, all the countries are greedy and violent like tigers and wolves, only your country is benevolent to treat the people of my grandson, and my subjects are all grateful and grateful, only hate and have nothing to repay, I can't sleep and eat. Seeing Yan Gongzi today, I can finally return Zhen Kuo's long-cherished wish. Come, fetch my crate. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not, this marquis has no merit and no gain, how can he receive the prince's gift."

Baili Yan was busy refusing, and the prince's attendants had already taken a two-foot-square, one-foot-high wooden box, which was carried into the hall by two wrestlers and put on the ground. Bai Liyan looked at and wondered, and then Zhen Kuo said:

"This is the great treasure of my grandson, Yongxing Hou might as well appreciate it and then make a decision."

"There is no merit, the prince has a good intention, the marquis has it, and the treasure is also asked by the prince to find another good lord to give it."

"Eh, the Marquis of Yongxing didn't see the true face of the treasure, so he excused himself first, and Zhen Kuo bet that the Marquis of Yongxing will regret it for the rest of his life."

Bai Liyan didn't think that Zhen Kuo could come up with any shocking "magic weapon" against the sky, but he felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had some means of being a man. If he didn't come this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably have thought about it and was looking for an opportunity to come to the door, and he gave him a chance when he came.

Thinking of this, Baili Yan reluctantly said:

"What's more, the prince is so gracious, if he pushes it back, it will be rude. Then please ask the prince to come out of this treasure and see the real face. ”

"Hehe, okay, come on, open the treasure chest."

"No!"

Sun Guolux stepped forward in response and opened the treasure chest.

I saw that it was a royal blue irregular object, which at first thought was some kind of gemstone or jade. Gemstones are obviously not very similar, and it is unlikely to form a rough stone larger than a microwave oven in a natural state, but if it is jade, dark blue is not expected to be rare, and the Central Plains is white, yellow, and emerald as the top grade, and some swords go off the edge of sending blue jade.

When he got closer and took a closer look, Bai Liyan's face suddenly became strange, and he was sure that this was a "stone", a stone with a metallic luster.

At this time, Zhen Kuo was still very proud, and he asked Baili Yandao:

"Can the Marquis of Yongxing recognize this treasure?"

After all, it was a diplomatic occasion, even if he sent a stone, he Bailiyan couldn't pull down his face to express his dissatisfaction, so he shook his head quietly:

"I am lonely and unheard of, and I also ask His Excellency the Prince to give advice."

"Hehe......" Zhen Kuo smiled lightly, and then said: "Yongxing Hou has never seen this thing, but he must have heard of the 'Blade Stone'. ”

As soon as these words came out, Baili Yanmeng was taken aback:

"What, this thing is the legendary 'Blade Stone'!"

"Exactly, it's exactly the 'Blade Stone' is also."

Legend has it that the "Blade Stone" is as soft as glue, and it is simply stabbed into it with a notched sword, then pulled out again, and the blade recovers on its own.

Baili Yan had indeed heard of such legends, but he had never believed them, after all, legends were inevitably exaggerated, not to mention that with the current technology, where could there be any technical basis for automatic blade repair damage.

Zhen Kuocha took out the "Blade Stone", thinking that it would never be to be happy with him. But if there is really any miraculous use, from a scientific point of view, it is difficult to believe that breaking stones so quickly can have the "miracle" of repairing physical damage.
