In the case of the same payment of a bag of tea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu got his wish and changed the back cover near Chang'an City to Shoushan Township below Minxian County, Quanzhou, Jiangnan Province.

In addition to these, Li Mu also asked the military department for a piece of paper and other things, and temporarily seconded twenty soldiers in the twelve guards.

It was used to go to Shoushan Township with Mei'er, Li Mu's naturalized viscount fiefdom.

Du Ruhui, who was originally the secretary of the Ministry of War, disagreed, but at Li Mu's repeated insistence.

There is also a place in Quanzhou where the folk customs are indeed stronger.

After Li Mu promised the cost of the twenty soldiers' journey, Li Mu covered it all, and at the same time, Du Ruhui extorted him two catties of tea.

Li Mu finally got the document about borrowing soldiers.

After everything was discussed, Li Mu also left the military department as a matter of course.

As for the twenty soldiers that Du Ruhui promised him, they would automatically go to his mansion to be dispatched.

Li Mu, who returned to the house, saw Mei'er packing up her things in the front yard, and selecting some reliable domestic servants to prepare for Li Mu's return.

He immediately set off to Min County and began to buy land for Li Mu and look for those things.

The reason why Li Mu replaced the precious Chang'an fief in the eyes of the Tang magnates with Shoushan Township, Min County, Quanzhou, was actually for a kind of stone.

A stone that is almost impossible to mine in modern times.

Shoushan stone, also known as Tianhuang stone, is known as one of the four major seal stones in China.

Similarly, Shoushan stone also has the reputation of imperial stone.

Shoushan stone has a mining history of 1500 years, and Suiranshou stone has such a long mining history.

Shoushan stone is widely known, and it did not begin to prosper until the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty.

Legend has it that in the early Qing Dynasty, the emperor sacrificed to the sky, and the gods were indispensable on one side of the Huangshi.

Therefore, Tian Huangshi has always been famous, and his value has doubled, and there was an ancient saying "one inch of Tian Huang and one inch of gold".

There is also a saying that one or two fields of yellow and three taels of gold.

Because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, dignitaries and nobles had the habit of collecting Tian Huang, especially in the Qing Dynasty, Tian Huang was used as a stone for rituals to worship heaven and earth.

In addition, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was very fond of Tian Huangshi, and Qianlong once had a triple chapter, which was carved with Shangpintian Huangshi.

This trifecta also has a story in it

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong once had a dream that he was summoned by the Jade Emperor, who gave him a yellow stone and the three characters of "Fu Shoutian".

Qianlong summoned his ministers to "realize his dream", and a Fujian minister hurriedly knelt down after hearing it and told him that the Jade Emperor gave the emperor must be Tian Huangshi produced in Shoushan, Fuzhou, because this is in line with the three words "Fu Shoutian" given by the Jade Emperor.

Emperor Qianlong was extremely happy when he heard this, and from then on, he offered Tian Huangshi in the center of the sacrificial table when he was sacrificing to the heavens.

After the Ming and Qing dynasties of large-scale mining.

In modern times, Tianhuangshi can be said to be extinct.

Its preciousness, a piece of high-grade Tianhuang stone reached 150,000 yuan per gram, and Tianhuang already had to be sold in grams.

As the saying goes, "gold is easy to obtain, but Tianhuang is hard to find." ”

Li Mu asked Mei'er to find for him, which is Tianhuangshi, which is known as the emperor's stone, and for this reason, Li Mu also changed his 500 food towns from Chang'an to Minxian County, Quanzhou, which is remote compared to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mu, who walked into the mansion, saw the large and small boxes placed in the yard, and had to sigh.

In ancient times, it was a little inconvenient to travel, that is, as long as you went far away, you had to carry a lot of boxes, which did not have to contain clothes.

But be sure to pack the money, it's more convenient.

The boxes prepared by Mei'er had to contain a lot of money, gold or copper coins, which had been used to buy land in Shoushan Township.

There should be no silver tickets in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of paper silver ticket, Li Mu remembers that it should appear in the Song Dynasty at the earliest.

The Song Dynasty was not called a silver ticket, but a Jiaozi.

A paper coin that facilitated the merchant's trade, with the silver taels represented written on it.

I don't know what will happen if this kind of thing appears in Datang, Li Mu saw the box in the yard and began his divergent thinking.

Think about it, if Datang has a silver ticket, Mei'er will directly carry a large silver ticket in her pocket, and she will easily go to Quanzhou.

It can also facilitate the trade of Tang merchants.

However, if Li Mu wants to be like those silver numbers in the TV series, if he can issue silver tickets, he must have enough gold or currency reserves.

In Chang'an and Quanzhou, each opened a silver number to facilitate the exchange.

From the current point of view, Li Mu does not have the strength to issue a silver number, he not only needs enough reliable manpower, but also needs a large amount of cash reserves.

Just like a modern bank, with the state as a backer behind it, it will make the people trust and be willing to deposit money in exchange for a card or a passbook.

Similarly, if Li Mu opens a silver account in Datang, in addition to finding a very reliable backer, he must also have enough reserves that those businessmen can trust.

However, the matter of opening a silver account will be a matter for the future.

Li Mu found that Mei'er at this time was becoming more and more like a housewife.

I saw Mei'er standing in front of the main hall of the front yard, and from time to time instructed those subordinates to prepare the things that should be prepared.

also asked Lan'er to help her choose some clever and loyal people from among the few servants in the mansion to go out with her on this long journey.

In addition, after Mei'er leaves, the affairs inside and outside the Naturalized Viscount's Mansion will be handed over to Lan'er for the time being.

Mei'er had to explain clearly before leaving, and after explaining everything clearly, Mei'er handed over the work at hand to the others and walked towards Li Mu.

"Sir." Mei'er made a slight blessing and said: "I'm afraid it will be a few months long for the slave and maid to leave this time, and I can't serve by the master's side, I hope the master will forgive." ”

Speaking of this, Mei'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red, in these days in the Naturalized Viscount's Mansion, she was more warm and comfortable than in the palace, and she was reluctant to leave this mansion.

Even if it's just a short absence.

Mei'er really regarded the Naturalized Viscount's Mansion as her home, Li Mu as her only relative, and of course the three little sisters.

It's just that Li Mu is heavier in Mei'er's heart.

"It's okay, Mei'er went to Quanzhou this time, although it has been a few months, as long as I find Shoushan Stone, I will go to Quanzhou and meet Mei'er."

The sudden parting, after seeing Mei'er's red eyes, made Li Mu feel sad, and took a step forward and naturally stretched out his hand, stroking Mei'er's face, comforting.

"Mei'er will definitely find the stone that the master wants." I heard that as long as she found Shoushan Stone, Li Mu would immediately go to Quanzhou.

Mei'er secretly made a sure in her heart that she would definitely do her best to find the Shoushan Stone that Li Mu said as soon as possible.

"These things are for you." Li Mu handed over the things he had asked for in the military department to Mei'er

"There are documents for the secondment of twenty soldiers from the Ministry of War, as well as the official document for me to transfer the fief, and a handwritten letter from Lord Du Ruhui, as long as you hand it over to the Taishou in Quanzhou when you arrive in Quanzhou, he will look at the face of the handwritten letter and try to help you."

Mei'er took what Li Mu had prepared, she didn't expect that Li Mu would put so much effort into her trip.

This made Mei'er even more determined to live up to Li Mu's trust in her.

The reason why Li Mu was able to ask for a handwritten letter from Du Ruhui was that in addition to Du Ruhui being a good man, there was also Quanzhou Taishou, who could be regarded as Du Ruhui's protégé.

A handwritten letter can be regarded as a gesture, and Du Ruhui has not yet been pedantic, just like Wei Zheng.

Everything was almost ready, and the twenty soldiers who had been approved for secondment by the Ministry of War had arrived.

After loading all the luggage into the carriage and sending it all the way to the canal of Chang'an City, I watched Mei'er and his group of fifty people get on the boat.

Li Mu, who stayed on the shore, and Mei'er on the boat said goodbye, and it was not until Mei'er and their boat left far away that they withdrew their gaze.

Li Mu knew that Mei'er's departure would open another chapter in Datang for him.

It is because Quanzhou is close to the sea. Group number: 486748154.
