Chapter 192: The Crazy Man of the Old Liu Family
A great fortune?
In addition to the method of smelting refined iron, what else in this world can touch Liu Ling's heart?
The old thief Cui Jiu pondered for a long time, and asked again: "What kind of wealth can compare to the method of refined iron smelting?" ”
Yang Chuan smiled, took out an object from his arms and threw it over: "Uncle Cui Jiu, do you recognize this thing?" ”
Cui Jiu stretched out his hand to catch it, and his face became strange: "This, isn't this the Khotanese jade you gave to Zhang Qian back then?" This thing is valuable, but it won't make Liu Ling dizzy, right? ”
What Yang Chuan threw away was indeed a piece of Khotanese jade.
It's just that, after some meticulous carving and polishing, it can no longer be called 'Khotanese jade', but should be called 'mutton fat jade'.
"This is what I polished and carved with my own hands," Yang Chuan said with a smile, "Uncle Cui Jiu, look at this jade Guanyin, cough cough, how many horses can this jade beauty get in exchange?" ”
Cui Jiu played with the 'Jade Guanyin' in his hand, and the blue and white aura on his face became more and more intense, and his whole body seemed to exude a cold and murderous aura.
"Yang Chuan boy, you honestly confess, what did Liu Ling's five thousand Hun horses exchange for?"
It's no wonder that Cui Jiu doesn't believe it, it's true, this matter is too outrageous.
Because, as far as the current Han Empire is concerned, Khotanese jade is indeed very precious, and Zhang Qian brought back dozens of truckloads of seeds, most of which have become exclusive to the royal family.
Only characters like Princess Pingyang, Princess Guantao, Empress and Li Meiren can be rewarded with one or two pieces when Liu Che is very happy.
Even, Liu Che once inadvertently said that Khotanese jade can not only be used as a 'ritual vessel' for the ceremonies of heaven and earth and the worship of Sheji, but also become one of the main funeral items of the emperor's mausoleum.
It can be seen from this that the preciousness and rarity of Khotanese jade.
But.
After all, this is just valuable and rare, for a person who plots the world, even if there is more Khotanese jade, I am afraid it cannot be compared with the 'strategic materials' such as 5,000 Hun horses, right?
Unexpectedly, Yang Chuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said no more.
If the people on the other side were Liu Che and Cao Xiang, it would be easy to guess Yang Chuan's intentions, but it's a pity that Cui Jiu's old thief went to the limelight and cut off his balls, and he didn't know much about men and women.
The old thief could not have imagined that at this time, a woman's preference for jade, treasures, and gold was almost as inseparable as that of the world.
After repeated trials and verifications.
Yang Chuan knew very sure that there was a vein of Khotanese jade.
An opportunity to enrich the world, comparable to the grandson of King Zhuo in Shuzhong, a treasure is enough to make her greedy heart crazy......
This is Yang Chuan's 'cramming plan'-
took out a deposit of Khotanese jade and asked Liu Ling to find a way to mine it in exchange for a large amount of gold, coins, land and mines in the Han Empire, so that she quickly became a first-class rich woman in the world;
Then, find a way to make the so-called 'mutton fat jade' drop in price quickly, so that the wealth of the princes and kings, powerful families, wealthy families and other big families who own jade shrinks overnight;
And then.
There should be no then, those big dogs who pay a lot of gold and land, who still believes Liu Ling's words? Who would dare to 'do business' with her?
Of course, this is only the first step, how to make Liu Ling, a fat and greasy 'roast duck', a dish for gluttons, there are still many things to plan and operate......
This kind of common play in later generations is called 'Kar Leek'.
In the current Han Empire, it is still a relatively new thing, and Yang Chuan is ninety percent sure that he will not let the situation get out of control; At the same time, it can also quickly raise enough money, food, and war horses for the field camp.
Chefs are best at handling ingredients, seasoning and mastering the heat......
……
Cui Jiu's old thief returned to Chang'an City overnight.
The stakes are big, even if Yang Chuan said it, it was to exchange a Khotanese jade mine thousands of miles away for Liu Ling's 5,000 Hun horses.
However, the old thief always felt a little unreliable, and he had to rush back to tell the emperor before he could make a move.
Yang Chuan visited Liu Ling again late at night.
"Yang Chuan, come, sit next to my aunt."
Liu Ling's sleepy eyes were hazy, his hair was scattered, like a long-haired poodle, and he lazily stretched out a finger and hooked it: "I saw you in my dream just now......"
Yang Chuan sat upright on a futon, and arched his hand: "Master Weng, you are mistaken, I am Yang Chuan, not Yang Guo." ”
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I hate it, who asked you to mention the name of that stinky man back then?" ”
This time, it was Yang Chuan's turn to be confused: 'Is there really a Yang Guo?' ’
This is a bit outrageous.
From this point of view, in fact, Liu Ling doesn't remember the name 'Yang Guo' at all, because she has experienced too many men, and she can't remember it for a while, anyway, it's just a show.
"Tell me, what good things are you trying to trick me again?" Liu Ling looked at Yang Chuan, who was in a daze, and laughed lightly, "Let me tell you the truth, you, you are really my Liu Ling's enemy in his previous life, five thousand Hun horses, that is my aunt's little savings over the years;
If you can't dig up the jade seeds, my aunt and I won't even be able to wear crotch pants in the future;
Tell me, how can I be a person in the future......"
Yang Chuan said expressionlessly: "Then don't be a man." ”
Liu Ling was furious, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he reprimanded: "Yang Chuan, you dare to scold me? ”
"When you continue to transport the mutton fat jade back to Chang'an City, what else are you going to do?" Yang Chuanhun ignored Liu Ling's scolding and continued: "Won't you be the queen? ”
"The country of gold, the richer than the world, even if the emperor hears about your reputation Liu Ling, he can only sigh with admiration, what else are you doing?"
Liu Ling turned over lazily, revealing two large pieces of white flesh, and sighed softly: "Yang Chuan, Yang Chuan, you little enemy, make my sister-in-law and me embarrassed."
Tell me, I haven't even seen the strengths and weaknesses of your kid, but you are familiar with the depth of your sister-in-law, this deal, I feel that I am destined to suffer. ”
Yang Chuan couldn't wait to stretch out his two fingers and poke his eyes a few times.
Listen, how similar are this woman's words to some 'jokes' that match meat and vegetables in later generations? It's exactly the same.
In this way, 'duanzi' is also one of the traditions of the Han Empire......
"Yang Chuan, you sit down here, my sister-in-law has a few intimate words to tell you," Liu Ling continued to tease Yang Chuan, but there was clearly a touch of coldness in his eyes.
"Liu Ling, I said, I, Yang Chuan, am only greedy for money and not lustful," Yang Chuan stood up and was about to leave, "Prepare your goods, and I will personally take people out of Yanmen Pass." ”
"Wait!"
Liu Ling sat up suddenly, his silk clothes slipped off, revealing some pictures that readers didn't like to see, and said softly: "Yang Chuan, I have already sent Guo Xie to the Western Regions." ”
"If the place you said can't be dug up from Khotanese jade seeds, I will kill you with my own hands."
"By the way, everyone around you will die."
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law has been skinning a few wild cats alive every day since she was seven or eight years old, and I like to hear that kind of miserable howl the most, and the pain and despair of others will make my blood boil, and I can't wait to peel off my own skin."
"Yes, it's just peeling off little by little, slowly, and painfully!"
Then, the woman suddenly went crazy and pounced on Yang Chuan, opening her teeth and claws, gritting her teeth, and her eyes emitted a cold and cold light.
At the same time, like a crazy female beast, there was a 'purring' sound from the depths of her throat, which made Yang Chuan's scalp explode, and he rushed out of the door with an arrow step.
"Yang Chuan, if you lie to me, I will let you die!"
"You give me death!"
"Dead ......"
Yang Chuan ran out more than a hundred steps before slowing down, listening to the sound of Liu Ling's gnashing teeth in the swarthy attic, only to feel a chill in his back.
He knew with certainty that in fact, Liu Ling was purely a madman......
……
Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.
A banquet was coming to an end, Liu Che was lying lazily on the embroidered couch, and two beautiful little women beside him were rubbing his shoulders and legs.
Liu Che drank too much wine, and looked a little drunk, but he still drank one cup after another, and his thick black beard had already been drenched and in a mess.
"Okay, this dance is very good, reward!"
"Li Yannian, the song 'There is a Beautiful Woman in the North' you played today, how is it different from the one from the other day?"
"Come here, let me see your hands......"
Hearing the emperor's call, Li Yannian stepped forward with a crawling trend, and with a 'poof', he knelt down next to Liu Che's embroidered couch and stretched out two white and slender hands.
"Li Yannian, you have lost a lot of weight." Liu Che squeezed Li Yannian's hand and stroked it gently, drunk and lovely.
Li Yannian called out 'Your Majesty' in a wail, and tears fell like rain when he landed.
Liu Che laughed, pulled Li Yannian to his side, and said heroically: "Don't cry, I understand your grievances, turn around, when I see Yang Chuan's thief, I personally beat him to give you anger, how about it?" ”
Li Yannian hugged Liu Che's arm, and cried again, his mournful eyes contained endless infatuation and dependence, staring straight into the emperor's eyes.
"Okay, okay," Liu Che grabbed Li Yannian's waist and was about to make a move, but Li Yannian pressed it with his fist.
"Your Majesty, the slave's heart is like colic, I'm afraid I ...... tonight," Li Yannian muttered, rubbing the back of Liu Che's hand with his cheek.
Liu Che laughed heartily again, and said, "Aiqing is inconvenient, then I won't get you, and I'll get your sister later." ”
As he spoke, the emperor withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, and spat out a strong snort, saying, "Stand down, I'm tired." ”
A group of musicians, dancers, and palace people withdrew from the hall one after another.
Li Yannian said softly: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are honest tonight......"
"You all go down, I'm going to rest," Liu Che waved his hand and pushed away the two little women beside him, "Let's all go down." ”
"Get out!"
So, everyone got out.
There was a sound of 'squeak', but the palace guards carefully closed the door of the palace, and in the huge dormitory, Liu Che was left lying on the embroidered couch, spitting wine.
After a dozen breaths, Cui Jiu quietly appeared from a certain shadow and arched his hand: "Your Majesty." ”
Liu Che slowly sat up straight, although there was still some drunken blush on his cheeks, his eyes were bright: "You're back so soon?" Unpredictable? ”
Cui Jiu said: "I was deceived by Yang Chuan's thief. ”
Liu Che was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, you have also been deceived by someone?" It seems that those stinky boys are slowly growing up now? ”
Cui Jiu let out a rare sigh and said, "Yang Chuan used a Khotanese jade mine thousands of miles away to deceive Liu Ling's five thousand Hun horses; As a result, he did not do anything himself, and waited for me to go and bring the horses back, and then give them eight hundred horses in the field camp;
That's all.
Your Majesty, that kid's guts are a little fat, and even Your Majesty has begun to deceive......"
Liu Che looked at Cui Jiu meaningfully, groaned a few times, and said, "Those stinky boys are not easy, for the sake of my Yulin Army, they have all begun to cheat and deceive."
Then, let them cheat for another two years! ”
In the last few chapters, there are many clues, court disputes, intricacies, and the fullness of the characters...... Well, the cook is actually almost bald, hurry up and eat a bowl of beef noodles and go to sleep
