Chapter 105 Baby
Coming to the City Lord's Mansion that had just been repaired in Monolith City, Yun Lang was very satisfied.
It is a building that is completely made of stone.
When it comes to wood building, it is naturally the Han people who are the first, but when it comes to stone building, it can only be said that the craftsmen from Rome are highly skilled.
Because of the time, there are no patterns carved on the tall stone pillars, and the appearance still retains the traces of craftsmen's axes and chisels, which look like they are inlaid with petals on the stone pillars, and the layers have been falling from the bottom.
The building was not tall, but it was extremely sturdy, and the porches were made of huge stones, and Yun Lang estimated that trebuchets were of little use to this thing.
The stone slab under your feet is also rough, and it is slightly awkward to step on it, so if you put on leather boots, you won't have this trouble.
Yun Lang looked up and saw only a gray roof, a series of huge iron candlesticks hanging in the air, and pillars of light falling into the room from the tall windows on the second floor, making this magnificent stone house seem less gloomy.
Yun Lang patted the pedestal wall with his hand and looked at Li Ling and said, "The pedestal of this house is chiseled?" ”
Li Ling said with a smile: "Instead of breaking the stone wall and reinstalling it, it is better to chisel it out directly, you see, there are countless wedge marks here, which cannot be removed."
Junhou, this city was almost piled up by the last general, and he never thought that those Great Qin craftsmen would have such a ability. ”
Yun Lang said with a smile: "Let's see, the things made by this foreign craftsman are not exquisite, but they give full play to the advantage of being strong." ”
Yun Yin was used to the Yun family's exquisite small building, and after looking at his room, he came out with a pout.
"That house can be used to raise pigs!"
Huo Guang smiled: "I've asked those people, and the place where their king lives is nothing more than that, the only drawback is that there is no time to carve patterns on the stone." ”
"The carved pattern is also used to raise pigs."
Yun Lang smiled: "It takes a lot longer to carve patterns than it does to build a house. The cost is also much higher.
Besides, we can't build a house that His Majesty would envy, and that would lose the purpose of building the house. ”
"What is the original intention of our family?"
"For many years to come, this will be the fundamental place of my Yun clan, even if I lose the manor in Lishan, this stone castle cannot be lost."
"Oh, but, why?"
Yunyin continued to ask.
Huo Guang hurriedly took Yun Yin's hand and left, he was very worried that Yun Yin would ask questions that the master would not answer.
Li Ling smiled and arched his hand: "Junhou, is it feasible for the last general to move the Li clan out of the Monolith City as well?" ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "The foundation of your Li clan is in Longxi, not here, I know what you think, it is not possible yet."
The Yun family will tolerate it in Liangzhou, if we hold together...... Think about the consequences for yourself. ”
Li Ling sighed and said, "Everything is up to the people's hearts. ”
Yun Lang smiled, pointed to the circle of markets outside the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Why do you have to migrate the Li clan over in a bright light?" ”
Li Ling was not a fool, looking at the empty street market outside the city lord's mansion, he seemed to understand something, and never mentioned the matter of the Li family's entry into Liangzhou again.
Yun Lang believed that his words and deeds in Liangzhou must be reported to the emperor word for word.
He was used to this kind of treatment, but he had some regrets, if Sui Yue could stay in the Liangzhou Pastoral Mansion and continue to hold an official position, he would be able to do more.
After dealing with the Qiang people for more than two years, the people here already have a deep understanding of Yunlang.
In their opinion, this man who likes to wander around with tigers must be a brutal person.
Some people even swore that they had seen Yun Lang use human flesh to feed the tigers.
Therefore, when the leaders of the Qiang people in Liangzhou walked into the hall of Dushi City one by one, the first thing they saw was the tiger lying on the ground and looking at them with a pair of ruthless big eyes.
The Tiger King's brutal gaze swept over everyone who entered the door.
When these people sat on the chairs tremblingly, Yun Lang said softly: "Just these people, right?" ”
Tiger King Huo Ran got up, and after walking around the hall, he lay down at the door, licking his paws casually.
Some timid Qiang people looked at the tiger lying at the door in horror, and they even felt that Yun Lang called them over today to kill them.
"After entering Monolith City, we will be a family in the future, but there are some rules that must be made clear.
It's better to be clear now than later, and if anyone violates it, don't say that I don't teach and punish him. ”
After Yun Lang finished speaking, he saw that the leaders of the Qiang people sat up straight and listened attentively, so he nodded with satisfaction and said to Huo Guang: "Read it!" ”
There are many rules in Monolith, the four most important of which are that the lord has the power to mobilize all the resources of Monolith City in time of war.
The second is that the lord of the city has supreme power in Monolith.
Third, the lord of the city had the power to collect taxes.
Fourth, the lord of the city has the power to judge cases and enforce punishments.
As for the duty of the lord of the city to protect the inhabitants of the city, this kind of thing has been deliberately forgotten by everyone.
After two years of confrontation, the Qiang people have come to believe that Yunlang is the master, even the only master, of this land.
For Monolith City to begin to have rules, they are prepared in their hearts.
It has become a fact that the Monolith City will become an important node between the Central Plains and the Western Regions of the Great Han Kingdom.
In two years, the wild land of Liangzhou gradually came to life, all thanks to Yunlang.
Just building a passage from Dunhuang to Wuwei County has brought great benefits to the natives of Liangzhou.
With this road, every city in the Hexi Corridor as a node will eventually become a land of abundance under the development of caravans coming and going.
Although Yun Lang asked for more benefits in Wuwei County, he completely emptied Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye, which was a typical behavior of wealthy people.
Facts have proved that as long as the real estate industry is chosen in the right place, no matter where it is, what time and space is the most profitable industry.
Once again, the model of Nirvana City has been a huge success.
There is nothing more precious in Liangzhou than human life, and the rich city built of all stone and the fierce Han army is the best place to protect their lives and property.
Some Qiang leaders have a surprising amount of wealth in their families, and even if they have been soil emperors for many years, even if their income is meager, after dozens or hundreds of years of accumulation, the total number is still extremely large.
Before Yunlang came to Liangzhou, most of the wealth in their hands was cattle, sheep and slaves, and some places in Liangzhou were rich in gold.
When trading with the Han people, they liked to use cattle and sheep, skins, herbs and other goods, so the gold slowly settled.
When these people heard that Yun Lang wanted to use gold as land to buy houses in Dushi City, the Qiang leaders were overjoyed.
After all, gold is not very important to them.
In the evening, Yun Lang lived in Monolith City, and the housing and land transactions in the city were naturally handled by Huo Guang and the officials.
In this regard, they are very good at it.
Just after Yun Lang comforted Yun Yin, who was pouting and unwilling to sleep in the stone room, Huo Guang came in a hurry.
He almost opened the burden he was carrying with a trembling hand.
Yun Lang only glanced at it and was stunned.
When Huo Guang came in, he had already fixed his eyes on the baggage, this thing didn't look light, and he thought it was a huge piece of bull head gold, but he never expected that Huo Guang took out a piece of natural gold wrapped jade.
The yellow gold nugget was inlaid with a piece of pure white jade, the texture of the gold looked pure, and the white jade wrapped in gold also emitted a sparkling treasure in the candlelight.
Yun Lang smiled dumbly, patted this treasure and said, "It's really rare." ”
Huo Guang didn't laugh, but pointed at Bai Yu and said, "Master, take a closer look here." ”
Yun Lang looked in the direction of Huo Guang's guidance and found that the place where Bai Yu was faintly dark.
He shook his head and said, "After all, nothing is perfect." ”
Huo Guang didn't say a word, took the candlelight and shone it behind Bai Yu, and said to Yun Lang: "Master, take a look again!" ”
Yun Lang looked at it again, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see that under the light of the candlelight, there was actually an emerald green plant inlaid in the middle of this thin piece of jade.
After pondering for a long time, Yun Lang said with certainty: "This is not jade, it should be a piece of amber!" ”
"Amber? It looks a lot like jade. ”
"This is impossible, jade is formed in the ground, and at the beginning of its formation it is melted by the earth's fire, and then it gushes out of the ground, and finally forms jade.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for plants to appear in jade! “
After finishing speaking, he carefully identified the appearance of the plant in the amber and said lightly: "This thing is at least 20,000 years old." ”
Huo Guang looked at the master in surprise and said, "Why do you know?" ”
Yun Lang smiled: "Why don't I know? I don't care where you got it, if you have one, you might be able to find a second.
If this thing was brought by the leader of the Qiang people, then ask him to continue to ask for it, don't use force, just exchange benefits. ”
Huo Guangdao: "Is it important?" ”
Yun Lang smiled silently and said, "It's very important to the emperor!" ”
