Chapter 295: Chang'an Changes

Repair took advantage of the sunny weather, went out for more than half a year, and finally set off to Chang'an to return home, although there was no big war, but the march all the way was very difficult, fortunately, there was no hurry, only to spend it peacefully.

When he came, he came hard, and when he returned, he came more than 10,000 people, and when he went back, he went back to more than 20,000 young people, but he became 20,000 captives, and several thousand of them were supplemented by the Wa State, because there were too many materials, and there were not enough mules, horses, and camels, so they needed to be carried on their shoulders, and whether it was gold, silver, jewelry, or jade and ivory, they were very expensive and heavy, and they needed to be carefully carried to avoid loss.

For going to Datang, Feng Daiwen took them back, so these people did not resist, but looked forward to going to the legendary Central Plains, just like a rural teenager who was about to enter the city, with mixed feelings.

When passing by Shuzhong, Niu Jinda was stunned by the continuous team carrying the boxes, and never thought that the wilderness in the eyes of the Central Plains would have such a huge wealth.

Niu Jinda sent people to escort out of Shuzhong and brought back 8,000 young people, this is because after leaving Shuzhong, all of them were transported by horse-drawn carriages, saving a lot of manpower, and it happened that these 8,000 people were left to work in Shuzhong.

From Shuzhong to Chang'an, the prosperity along the way, the distance of the road, have left a deep impression on the young and strong people who came out of these countries, the weather is already cold near Guanzhong, and the latest supply of cotton clothes makes them reluctant to take off, which is much better than their animal skins, Mai.

Back to Chang'an City has been Zhenguan five years in February, Chang'an City is now more and more prosperous, although the weather in February is also cold, but the crowd in and out of the city, cars and horses are endless.

Anhuamen is still the same old look, but after entering, it is eye-catching, almost making Feng Daiwen think that he is back in the future, the spacious cement pavement, lined with three-story buildings full of red bricks and green tiles, can be vaguely seen through the glass window The busy figure in the house can be seen.

The trees on both sides of the street, the evergreen trees add a lot of vitality to the city, and the deciduous trees also begin to sprout, continue to move forward, turn into Suzaku Street, thousands of people and hundreds of carriages, the surprise is still quite large.

"Holy Decree! Feng Daiwen, the general manager of the march, led people to see the driver outside the Vermilion Bird Gate! "As soon as I entered Suzaku Street, which had been expanded and expanded, an attendant came to deliver the message.

Originally, Feng Daiwen also wanted to send the gold, silver and bronze to the household department, and the jewelry was sent to the palace and went home, but it had been almost a year since he came out, thinking about the lovely daughter at home and the pregnant wife, he couldn't wait a little in his heart.

It seems that Li Shimin got the news and wanted to show off, as a junior, the courtiers naturally need to cooperate well, so Feng Daiwen led the convoy to Suzaku Gate.

Feng Daiwen was almost startled when he arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate, densely packed with thousands of civil and military ministers, family members, gathered here, and there were one or two thousand people around the onlookers, and the spacious Vermilion Bird Gate seemed narrow.

"Chen Feng Daiwen see the saint, respectfully ask for the saint!" Feng Daiwen strode forward and knelt down on one knee to give a big salute!

"Sincerely, St. Ann!" The warriors behind him, the young and strong people of the country of Bi all saluted, and their strong voices sounded outside the Suzaku Gate.

All the soldiers are flat! Li Shimin happily stepped forward and said loudly with both hands.

"Xie Shengshang, the minister went out to conquer the country of Pi for ten months, captured two cities, successfully obtained the jade, and now returned victorious! Please review it! Feng Daiwen got up and said loudly.

"All the soldiers have worked hard for the country, and they will have their own rewards in the future!" Li Shimin nodded and smiled, which also showed his affirmation of the merits of the soldiers who went out on the expedition.

"Gift!" Feng Daiwen turned around and shouted loudly.

As Feng Daiwen shouted, the soldiers behind him began to carry the trophies down from the carriage and placed them in front of Li Shimin one by one.

All the boxes are opened, forming a mountain-like mountain of gold, silver, more than a thousand bronze statues of various expressions, standing around, the largest bronze statue is more than two people high, and two horses alone pull it.

Ivory, rhino horn, like sundries are stacked randomly, all kinds of gemstones sparkle in the sun, and finally jadeite, a large amount of jadeite, emitting an attractive green light, carved and placed together.

The number of uncarved jadeite is huge, the color is deep and shallow, more is the rough stone that opens a little skylight, in a large circle around the surroundings, imitate the eye to see, but also think that it is a pile of stones through the air, deliberately stacked to protect the treasure in the middle.

This time there are too many jewels and jade, and the remaining gold and silver are also non-ferrous metals, and they are in the sun, which looks colorful, and the refracted jewels are particularly dazzling, the onlookers, the surrounding guards, including many ministers, many eyes are getting wider and wider with the accumulation of jewelry, and finally can only see a little black in the white eyeballs, staring at all kinds of jewelry, scanning back and forth, eager to take it for themselves, reflecting the greedy side of many people.

Li Shimin obviously also discovered a little, anyway, the jewelry was also displayed, so he asked all the guards to move into the palace again.

"This pile of stones is jadeite?" Li Shimin took his courtiers to the pile of jade rough and asked.

"Yes, Father, because of the lack of manpower, he can only be transported back for cutting." Feng Daiwen replied respectfully.

"It's a pity that the Emperor Taishang went to Jiangnan Weifu for a private visit again, otherwise he would be very happy." Li Shimin thought that Li Yuan had always been obsessed with jadeite, but he didn't see it for the first time when he came back, so he was inevitably a little regretful.

"Jadeite is different from white jade, and no one can guarantee what it looks like inside, so there is a saying that the gods are difficult to break the jade.

It's like this, maybe it's all green on the inside, maybe it's all other colors, maybe it's just the outside.

So it's okay for the emperor to come back later, and it is also a pleasure to choose the stone and cut it by himself to gamble on luck. Feng Daiwen picked up a piece of ore and explained to Li Shimin.

"Oh yes, it's interesting, I'll pick two and give it a try." Li Shimin immediately became interested, and pointed to two pieces at random.

Human beings have a natural interest in things that are gambling in nature, but they have different control over different people.

In response to Li Shimin's request, a craftsman immediately took a tool and began to peel off the stone skin layer by layer along the perimeter of the ore.

"Why is there so much gold and silver? Could it be that the barbaric border passes, overseas are richer than the Central Plains. Li Shimin was very happy that Feng Daiwen could bring back a lot of wealth every time he went on an expedition, but he was also a little puzzled, feeling that the Central Plains had become the poorest.

Obviously, many people are very curious about this issue, and they want to hear what Feng Daiwen, the living god of wealth, has to say, which is also related to their vital interests.

"My father filtered, although there are some special products in various places, but the overall is still the Central Plains, the land is vast, the products are abundant, there are fewer natural disasters, and the climate has four distinct seasons, which is the most suitable for human habitation." Feng Daiwen explained with a smile.
