Chapter 137: Tian Huang
Li Anran, who left Xiangyang, piloted the helicopter and landed four more times, first in Jiangxia County, Ezhou, that is, Wuchang City in modern time and space. Since it was already dark when I landed, I didn't rush to the road anymore, but set up a tent in the field for the night, and then drove to the county seat of Jiangxia County, just like I had done in Xiangyang before.
After leaving Jiangxia, the third place to land was Hongzhou, which was Nanchang in later generations. As for the fourth landing, it was originally intended to land directly in Fuzhou. But because there are no satellites for GPS positioning in Datang space-time, even if the course has been corrected because of several arrivals along the way, it is still inevitable that there will be some deviations, and the last time I have to fly again before I finally found the right place.
The five ups and downs before and after, including the purchase of jade materials and antiquities, as well as proper play and rest, only took less than ten days in total.
Starting from Chang'an to ending in Fuzhou, even if it does not deviate from the course and fly more, it has flown about 2,000 kilometers, that is, a distance of nearly 5,000 miles.
Although there was a saying in ancient times that people traveled 800 miles a day, it was just a legend. Even in ancient times, there was an "express" service of 800 miles of expedited, which could run about 300 miles without changing people every day, and it was almost possible to run 30,000 miles in ten days. But the problem is that transportation in ancient times was far less convenient than in modern time and space.
Li Anran's flight distance of more than 2,000 kilometers and nearly 5,000 miles is almost a straight line, if it really makes people use the 800-mile expedited way to run this road, let alone ten days. Whether or not you can run down in 20 days is a question. This is still not counting the fact that people and horses have a high chance of encountering natural and man-made disasters on the road.
Before arriving in Fuzhou, Li Anran also exchanged artificial gemstone jewelry in modern time and space for a lot of excellent jade materials in the previous landing sites. Judging from the market at the last auction, the jade material obtained along the way can be auctioned for another 100 million. If you count the finished jade ornaments, especially some ancient jade from the Qin and Han dynasties or even earlier, if they can be auctioned as antiques as expected, the auction price can be even higher.
Such a harvest naturally makes Li Anran very hi-skin, but the high-skin is hi-skin. But he has not forgotten the true purpose of this trip.
Wait until a group of three. When he drove an off-road vehicle to the outside of Fuzhou, it unsurprisingly caused a wave of chaos. Fortunately, this kind of battle is not the first time Li Anran has encountered it, and before approaching the city gate, he shot Zhao Er in advance and rushed over with the token and official documents.
When the head of Fuzhou City heard the news of the arrival of the observation envoy, he hurriedly brought a group of officials to greet him.
Li Anran, who has experienced this kind of thing more than once. It's long gone with the novelty it was original. But. Considering that the funds needed for the development of modern time and space in the future still need to fall on this place. So. It was not like the previous footholds, just purchasing a batch of jade materials and jade ornaments to flash people, but fighting with these officials.
There is a decree, a token, and an official document as proof. Li Anran's identity was verified without taking too long to observe. Because it was in the morning when they arrived, after everyone sat in the government for a while, they went to the best restaurant in Fuzhou County to engage in the "administrative entertainment" of later generations.
Don't look at this Fuzhou Thorn History, the position is in the third grade, and Li Anran's observation makes although the grade is not low, but it can only be observed and cannot be disposed of. This is like a tiger without claws, and the "danger" coefficient has suddenly dropped by several notches. But the problem is that the position of this observer is ordained by the Holy One. In the officialdom, as long as there is no problem with the brain, no one will dare to mess around because of this. Therefore, the atmosphere on this wine table is naturally very harmonious.
Fuzhou is close to the sea, and there will naturally be no shortage of seafood on this table. Although the cooking skills are still relatively limited, they are better than the original, fresh and tender. Especially the big yellow croaker, Li Anran was very happy to eat. At the wine table, Li Anran did not forget to take out a small barrel of red wine from his own winery in modern time and space, which was very well received by a group of officials.
What surprised Li Anran a little was that when he proposed that he wanted to find the right place called Shoushan County and wanted to mine a stone on it, Thorn Shi, who was the head of Fuzhou Mansion, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, according to later generations, the official in charge of commerce said that there were also requests in this regard not long ago.
After asking, I realized that it was none other than the Tongfu Ji caravan from Chang'an City who had made the same request before.
It's not surprising to think about it, it was more than a month or almost two months ago when the original request for this kind of Tian Huangshi was raised. It was not surprising that the caravan of Tongfu Ji was able to reach Fuzhou and begin to search for and excavate Tianhuangshi for such a long time. Moreover, with this Tongfu person as a "pathfinder", the rest of the matter is obviously much easier.
In fact, it is true, after lunch, Li Anran came directly to the branch of Tongfu Ji in Fuzhou City under the leadership of the reception staff arranged by the assassin Shi. As a result, by chance, I actually ran into a certain shopkeeper and account office that I had met in Lantian County.
Just when Li Anran was greeting the caravan shopkeeper and the account room who recognized him, the receptionist standing aside was secretly relieved, and at the same time, he also sent someone to report the situation to the Assassin's Mansion.
After the meeting, Li Anran quickly learned that Tian Huangshi had been mined some, but he didn't know if the road met the requirements. So, under the arrangement of the shopkeeper in charge of this caravan, the group soon came to the warehouse of Tong Fu Ji.
To be honest, Li Anran's understanding of Tian Huang is limited to the Internet. What is the whole stone is clear and transparent, like solidified honey, moist and incomparable, it is the best Tianhuang jelly in Tianhuang, and the color is like orange peel, bright and bright, its quality is delicate and condensed, slightly transparent, the texture implies radish lines, and the extremely rare "orange peel red field" has only seen the picture, and has not even seen the real thing. Therefore, when facing the pile of stones of different shapes, it is impossible to tell whether these are Tian Huang or not.
Fortunately, Tongfu Ji did things very well, and after mining these stones, the relevant people were arranged to select some more reliable stones for careful cutting and grinding. Not to mention, I really found a few pieces of material that were very similar to the photo Ueda Huang Jelly given by Li Anran at the beginning.
After pulling these pieces of material from the shopkeeper of Tongfu Ji, Li Anran, who didn't understand it at all, pretended to be very good at playing with it, and then didn't say whether the stone was or not, but said: "Shopkeeper, please arrange it, tomorrow I want to go to the place where these stones are found to see." ”
For such a request, the caravan shopkeeper who had been repeatedly instructed by Zheng Chenggong before setting off naturally had no reason to refuse. At the moment, arrangements were made with the Fuzhou branch.
As for the stones that had been cut and ground out, they were brought back to the courtyard arranged by the Assassin Mansion by Li Anran on the pretext of trying to refine magic weapons. In addition to this, several suspected Tianhuang stone wool materials were also selected, that is, raw stones that have not been cut and polished.
After returning to the courtyard that had torn down a section of the wall and deliberately opened a new door for off-road driving, Li Anran, who had arranged Zhao Er and Su Xiaomei, took the off-road vehicle and this harvest back to modern time and space.
It didn't take long for this courtyard to be surrounded by the elite soldiers of the Assassin's Mansion, no, it should have been guarded. There was also a small group of soldiers in armor, armed with weapons, patrolling the perimeter of the courtyard. It made several large families in the vicinity very confused, but they invariably instructed the people below to settle down during this time, so as not to cause big trouble.
After returning to modern time and space, Li Anran first took all kinds of photos of the suspected Tianhuang stone brought back this time, and then uploaded it to the domestic professional Tianhuang Stone Exchange Forum and Tieba.
Don't look at the current California is more than three o'clock in the morning, but in China it is more than seven o'clock in the evening, plus the camera used to take pictures is the best kind at present, the photos are very clear, and there are details from different angles, so, it quickly got the attention of those experts who have been mixing in forums and post bars all year round.
