Chapter 358: Different Values
More than 100 carts covered with black cloth left the tomb of King Liang and headed for Xudu.
Wei Yan walked in front with a big knife.
Cao Shuo took Wang Yan, Deng Zhan, and Zhu Ao to follow him.
"It's a long way away from Chen Liu, and there are still no bandits." Zhu Ao said to Cao Shuo: "Childe's previous worries are superfluous. ”
"How can you say superfluous!" Cao Shuo said: "If there is no immortal camp to take over, it is difficult to say whether there will be bandits who think about the good things of these burial goods." ”
"That's what Childe said." Deng Zhan said: "The reputation of the immortal camp is outside, even if there are bandits who want to interfere with it, they must weigh it. ”
"I asked the undead battalion to come, but I was thinking about the problem from the standpoint of the bandits." Cao Shuo said: "The Touching Gold Camp is only good at digging graves, and some of them are indeed very skilled, but it is not good to let them fight. The immortal battalion is the elite under my command, let alone dealing with bandits, even if there are thousands of troops, they have never coaxed. Knowing that it was an escort from the Immortal Camp, I don't think many thieves would dare to touch the idea of these burial goods. ”
"I got a lot of treasures this time, how much does Childe plan to keep?" Zhou Hao asked.
"Leave one percent." Cao Shuo grinned: "One hundred and sixty cars of funeral goods, I will keep sixteen cars, but I want fifteen cars of the best, and only one car of poor quality will be left." ”
When loading the car, Cao Shuo specially instructed the gold camp to touch the gold camp and put the gold and jewelry on the car marked with special marks.
When he returned to Xudu, he would have the sixteen carts of funeral goods sent to the barracks, and the rest to the treasury.
When he entered the barracks, the loot piled up outside for people to show would be the one that was very bad, and the remaining fifteen cars, he would change hands as soon as possible and send them to the market.
took the gold camp to dig the tomb of King Liang, of course he wanted to leave the best.
There are so many soldiers under his command, everyone has to open their mouths to eat, and they can't afford to support them if they don't have money!
"Childe, it's okay to come to Chenliu, just let us accompany us to watch the grave digging?" Wang Yan never understood the meaning of this journey, and asked Cao Shuo.
"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "I feel more at ease with you." With so many good things, of course, there are a few more capable people around. ”
Cao Shuo led the team to hurry up, and when they arrived more than fifty miles away from Xudu, it was still late.
It is a way to rush back to Xu overnight, but it is difficult to travel at night, in case any carriage overturns or the funeral goods fall out along the way, the loss is not small.
It is not far from the destination, and Cao Shuo is also a lot relieved.
Commanding the undead camp to be on guard, he ordered to camp on the spot.
The soldiers deployed the camp, and Cao Shuo instructed Zhou Hao: "Go and help me find twenty armbands." ”
Zhou Hao agreed first, and then asked, "What kind of armband does Childe want?" ”
"Jade." Cao Shuo said: "You are good at distinguishing textures, all of them must be the best." ”
"I'll go!" Zhou Hao bowed and retreated, and went to find an armband for Cao Shuo.
The so-called armband is an ornament that evolved from bracelets.
After the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains received the influence of the Western Regions culture, and many women from rich and noble families had a strong interest in armbands.
Unlike bracelets, armbands have snap buckles that can be adjusted to fit not only on the wrist, but also on the elbow or upper arm.
Because the size can be adjusted, the production process of the arm ring is more refined.
Compared with gold and silver armbands, jade and other jewelry are more expensive.
Soon after Zhou Hao left, he came back with a cloth bag.
Holding the cloth bag in both hands and handing it to Cao Shuo, Zhou Hao said: "Twenty armbands, all of them are jade, look at it!" ”
Taking the cloth bag, Cao Shuo took out an armband and looked at it: "What kind of jade is this?" ”
"It should be jade from the Western Regions." Zhou Hao said: "The jade in the Western Regions is warm and luster, and the jade in the land of Baiyue is emerald green and transparent......"
"The land of Baiyue you are talking about should not be called jade, but cui." Cao Shuo asked, "These armbands are all from the Western Regions?" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Hao said: "But some are green jade, and some are white jade......"
"The green jade you are talking about should be Kunlun jade!" Taking out a few armbands, Cao Shuo put them in front of him and said, "Replace all the Kunlun jade, and find me the mutton fat white or the emerald of the land of Baiyue." ”
"Childe actually knows jade so well!" Cao Shuo's words stunned Zhou Hao, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said in amazement: "I only know that the quality of jade is good and bad, and I really don't know what the difference is." ”
"Look at this!" Cao Shuo picked up an armband and said to him: "It is milky white, smooth and smooth, this armband should be the mutton fat white of the Western Regions." ”
He picked up another one and said to Zhou Hao: "This one is blue in color, although the texture is also very good, but it is Kunlun jade. The difference between mutton fat white and Kunlun jade is that although they are both mined from Kunlun, mutton fat white has to go through many years of glacier grinding, while Kunlun jade can be mined from stone. The value of the two is very different. ”
After robbing tombs for many years, although Zhou Hao could tell the quality of jade, he had never heard of these ways.
He licked his lips and said, "If it weren't for following Childe but meeting him by chance, I would definitely think that Childe was the ancestor of the tomb robbers!" ”
"I haven't even been a wife yet, but I don't have a great-grandson of your age!" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Don't be a sycophant here, hurry up and do something for me!" ”
Zhou Hao smiled, retreated and ran.
Looking at Zhou Hao's back, Wang Yan came to Cao Shuo's side.
She didn't even look at the cloth bag, and asked Cao Shuo: "It's getting late, and the son is still not resting?" ”
"You're just in time!" Cao Shuo took out an armband from the cloth bag and said to her, "I have something for you......"
"Don't!" As soon as Cao Shuo took out the armband, Wang Yan said: "It's useless for me to ask for this kind of thing." ”
"How can my daughter's family not have a few pieces of jewelry?" Cao Shuo said: "You Sister Zhen Ji and they all have ......"
"I don't want it!" Wang Yan still said very decisively: "I just need a sword." ”
"You're going to marry me sooner or later, and I can't give you a sword?" Cao Shuo said: "It's better to put it away, even if it's just to put that ......."
Wang Yan turned out to be an armband.
After a casual glance, she said to Cao Shuo: "I really don't know what this thing is for." ”
Cao Shuo's head was full of black lines.
The armband he gave Wang Yan, if he took it outside, not to mention that it was priceless, at least it would be expensive.
However, in Wang Yan's eyes, it is a completely useless thing.
After a while, Zhou Hao ran back with another cloth bag.
"Childe, look at these, okay?" In front of Cao Shuo, Zhou Hao opened the cloth bag.
Wang Yan stood aside and tilted her head to watch Cao Shuo take out the armbands one by one.
A very strange expression appeared on her face: "What does Childe want these useless things for?" ”
"You still don't say anything!" Wang Yan's values made Cao Shuo cry and laugh, and he said: "Back in Xudu, I'll find the best blacksmith to give you a sword." ”
