Chapter Ninety-Nine: Black Eats Black

Tuyuhun is a nomadic regime, the territory is about west of Qiangcheng (Huangyuan County, Qinghai), east of Jimo (Xinjiang County), south of Qilian Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Bayan Kala Mountain, Anima Qing Mountain north, east to west 4,000 li, north and south 2,000 li, the territory is not small.

The current leader is called Fu Yun, who calls himself Busabo Khan, and can also call him Murong Shiyun.

Yes, Tuyuhun is a nomadic regime established by the Xianbei Murong clan, and the first generation of leaders is called Murong Tuyuhun.

Xianbei Murong's hometown is in western Liaoning, which means that they are actually from the Northeast.

Around the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, the first generation of chieftain Murong Tuguhun led his tribe to migrate from western Liaoning to the Qilian Mountains, and gradually took root to establish political power.

Their popular languages are Xianbei and Chinese, so they have no barriers to communication with the Great Sui, and their clothing is no different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains.

If it weren't for the fact that these people had to register in the store, they wouldn't have been able to tell whether they were Han or Hu.

Registration, it's time to talk about the name, the name is a small wooden nameplate, engraved with your name of origin, which can be regarded as the ID card of the Great Sui.

And there is also a talisman bag specially used to place the name of the symbol, the law of the Great Sui stipulates: people do not leave the talisman, and the talisman does not leave the bag.

This thing has to be carried with you, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to go out.

Yang Ming's ID card is a fish charm, the fish charm is only owned by lords or officials, and the bag where the fish charm is placed is called the fish bag, which is decorated with gold, silver and copper foil according to the status level, which is a status symbol of the aristocratic class.

Yang Ming's fish talisman is divided into two pieces, the left piece is used as the base root in Zongzheng Temple, that is, the archive, and the right piece is kept by himself, and the fish bag is decorated with gold leaf.

The Great Sui was a relatively open dynasty, and there were often Turkic and Hu people from the Western Regions who came to the Great Sui to do business, and these people wanted to apply for ID cards, so they had to find Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple is in charge of ethnic affairs and foreign affairs reception activities.

The names of these Hu people are also different from those of the people of the Great Sui, which are oval in shape, and the Great Sui is rectangular.

The rectangle represents orthodoxy, and the oval has no corners, which is of course unorthodox.

The last time I came to do business with Goryeo Hu Shangji, I only bought a total of 245 horses, which was too shabby.

In the Great Sui, there was no explicit provision that ordinary people could not raise horses, but in fact, there were basically no ordinary people raising horses.

Why? Because I can't afford it.

Therefore, horses are only raised by the state and the nobility.

The state department responsible for raising horses is called Taifu Temple, and the largest pasture is in Longxi, bordering Tuyuhun.

And the aristocracy also has to pay taxes for raising horses, Yang Ming is not very clear in this regard, anyway, it is similar to giving birth to a foal and having to hand it over to the imperial court, and after handing over a certain amount, there is no need to pay it.

So it is more difficult for Yang Ming to buy a horse in Dasui.

So Yang Ming didn't have the heart to listen to any piano skills anymore, Gao's daughter shouldn't have the level of Ryuichi Sakamoto, right? Although this instrument is not the other, it is appreciated by the ear.

Under the guidance of Yu Wenlan, Yang Ming personally rushed to Yulan Pond, intending to meet the Hu people.

These people are quite good at picking places, and the magnolia pool is a relatively high-end guest room in Jinyang Building, and the maids who are responsible for entertaining here are under the age of twenty in Yishui.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yang Ming heard the rude sound of drinking, they spoke Xianbei language, Yang Ming could understand half of it, because Dugu Jialuo sometimes spoke Xianbei language.

….

After Yang Ming came in, the group of people in the courtyard instantly quieted down, and looked at Yu Wenlan strangely.

One of them said in proficient Chinese, "We have already secured this place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Yu Wenlan smiled politely: "I'm bothering the guests, I have a friend here, maybe I can talk to you about some business."

"We don't have any business to do with the Han Chinese," the Hu said.

Yu Wenlan was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "You are in my Great Sui right now, if you are not here to do business, then I really have to ask, otherwise I will not be able to explain when I patrol the street Wuhou to inspect."

The man didn't seem to want to be targeted by Wu Hou, and after weighing it, he nodded and said:

"We have a few things for sale, but I'm afraid you don't

Know the goods."

Yu Wenlan said with a smile: "If you don't know the goods, you have to give me an explanation, after all, you are not my race, you are the object of Wuhou's special observation, I know the purpose of your coming to my Great Sui this time, so I can deal with you in front of Wuhou."

In fact, Wuhou, who patrols the streets, almost never comes to Jinyang Building for inspection, and occasionally passes by as a process.

Several people got together and discussed it in Xianbei words, and it seemed that they had compromised.

It was the same person just now, who took out a fist-sized jade from his arms and held it in the palm of his hand, with a rather proud expression.

Yang Ming saw all this in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he didn't need to see these people at all, looking at the stupid man's deterioration, as if he was holding the jade seal of the country in his hand.

Isn't it Hetian jade? In ancient times, it was called Kunshan jade, which was the best in the jade material, and in the Great Sui, jade was mainly decorated and appreciated, and basically only the aristocratic class had this thing.

Who is Yang Ming? He has no shortage of jade made of Hetian material, and he is not interested in such impractical things at all.

"I see,"

After Yu Wenlan noticed Yang Ming's expression, he raised his hand at the group of Hu people, signaling everyone to take care of themselves, and then he glanced at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming saw it in his eyes and turned to leave the courtyard.

Outside a quiet bamboo forest, Yu Wenlan said in a low voice:

"When these people came, they unloaded a few large parcels, and there were servants in the stables who were going to help unload the carts, but these people were not allowed to touch them, and the servants told me that the indentations on the wheels of their carts were very deep, and the contents of the parcels were extremely heavy, and if it was Kunshan jade, it was worth a lot of money."

Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Do we have any maids here who understand Xianbei language?"

"Yes!" Yu Wenlan nodded.

Yang Ming said: "Find a reason, pick a few clever girls to change into the magnolia pool, and listen to what they say every day."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the villain will definitely do it," Yu Wenlan nodded.

Because of the backward mining technology, the Hetian jade of the big material is indeed a rare treasure.

The Great Sui and the countries of the Western Regions often have trade contacts, and Hetian jade naturally imports a lot, the most precious of which is mutton fat jade, and ordinary scholars can have a piece of mutton fat jade jewelry the size of an egg, which is something worth showing off.

In fact, this thing is often used to symbolize identity, which is the so-called pretending.

Aristocrats have the habit of wearing jade, especially women, as soon as they see this person wearing mutton fat jade, they know that the other party's identity is not ordinary, and they will look up to you.

….

There is a superb product in Kunshan jade, called Khotanese jade, that is, mutton fat jade, you can imagine it when you hear the name, it is as fine as clotted fat, crystal white, warm and flawless.

Yang Ming has a few pieces of jade carved from Khotanese jade, there are Dugu Jialuo reward, and the mother concubine rewarded, but the material is not big, the largest piece is the size of a pineapple, carved with a pair of unicorns, and the bottom is made of red sandalwood.

Useless except for viewing.

When Yang Ming left the bamboo forest, he heard the sound of the piano coming from the direction of the high pavilion in the distance.

As soon as the piano sounded, the noisy sounds around it instantly fell, leaving only the insects and frogs in the pond and the rustle of the wind blowing the bamboo forest.

In the quiet garden, Yang Ming admired the sound of the piano attentively.

He is a layman, and in addition to thinking it sounds good, he can't describe it, probably because he thinks the sound of the piano is a little sad.

After the end, Yang Ming found Yang Zhao and left the metropolis.

On the way home, Yang Zhao didn't say a word, and seemed to be immersed in the sound of the piano.

.......

Yu Wenlan was still able to do things, and about three days later, Yang Ming received a message from Yu Wenlan.

This group of Hu people from Tuyuhun is a rogue thief, and the leader is called Shibuya, and the things in their package should be the Kunshan jade, which was snatched from a camel team in the Western Regions, and lost a lot of manpower during the fight, leaving them with about 30 people.

And because these people are robbing Turkic caravans, they are currently in the Western Regions

The wanted thieves, so they came all the way to Daxing, planning to sell these things, and then find a way to dredge the government, planning to settle in Dasui.

What Yu Wenlan means is that since these big materials are black goods, you might as well hack them, as for these Hu people, they are naturally destroyed corpses.

The relationship between the Great Sui and Tuyuhun is actually not good or bad, at the beginning of the emperor, Tuyuhun often invaded the border of the Great Sui, and what he did was to burn, kill and loot, and after being cleaned up a few times, he was a lot more honest, and often paid tribute to the Great Sui over the years.

However, the Han people of the Great Sui, especially the Longxi area, hated Tuyuhun to the core, so killing some Hu people of Tuyuhun was not a crime in the Great Sui.

After thinking about it, Yang Ming directly dispatched fifty palace guards to enter Jinyang Tower under the arrangement of Yu Wenlan, and then on a dark and windy night, there was a black and black night.

The body was thrown into a cargo ship on the Yong'an Canal, and the next day Xu Jing sailed out of Daxing with the access token, and after entering Weishui, the body was dumped directly.

When Yang Ming came to the Magnolia Pool again, after looking at the huge pieces of jade, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

There is a big piece of material in it, which turned out to be Khotanese jade, the size of a lamb, crystal clear, and flawless.

This is the best, and it is definitely worth a lot of money to find a famous craftsman to carve it.

Yang Ming waved his hand, and everyone gave me a bounty, and closed their mouths tightly.

Among them, there was a maid who knew Xianbei language in order to listen to the news, and even sacrificed her hue, and she was tortured a lot, and Yang Ming immediately rewarded fifty horses of silk.

Then he had the jade material wrapped up and brought back to the palace.

In the bedroom, when Chen Shuyi saw the piece of Khotanese jade, her eyes also lit up, and she circled the jade for a long time, and couldn't help but touch it.

Women like gold, silver and jade, as if they were born like this.

"What do you want to do with such a good material?" Chen Shuyi asked.

Yang Ming has calmed down from the excitement earlier,

is the so-called husband is not guilty of his crimes, such a big material, Yang Jian and his wife don't seem to have it.

Then you shouldn't have it.

Yang Ming was thinking, what would he do if he handed over this piece of jade to his father Yang Guang?

He will definitely dedicate himself to Yang Jian and Dugu Garo as soon as possible.

If some things are too valuable, you can't just have them, and there are many treasures in the Forbidden City, can you have them?

After thinking about it, although he was reluctant, Yang Ming still planned to hand over this piece of Khotanese jade to Yang Guang, because he couldn't cross Yang Guang and offer it directly to Yang Jian and his wife.

Besides, isn't the Thousand Autumn Festival just around the corner?

Father Emperor Yang of Sui.
