Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Can you imagine how much vibration it will cause when such a large diamond mine is discovered?  The price of Kun Stone will definitely come down slowly. If, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, there are many countries in the world that can compete with the Tang Dynasty, then the imperial court may hold it back and pick it up from the cracks of its fingers.  A little bit leaks out, and the water flows slowly.  But what if there is no enemy who can compare with Datang?  There is no need to cover it up. The amount released will definitely be large, and the impact on the market will definitely be huge.

    "Erlang, do you know where there is a large amount of Kun Stone?" Changsun Chong didn't believe it. According to the shopkeeper of Changsun's jade shop, there are very few of these Kun Stones in the world, and it is quite difficult to get them. Some people spend their entire lives to get there.  It was impossible to find one bigger than a soybean in the place of origin, but Wang Kuang actually asked him to throw away all the Kun stones in his hands?  Doesn't that mean there are a lot of them?  Otherwise, why would it need to be thrown out?  In three or two years?

    "Anyway, so-and-so's words have been mentioned here in advance. It's up to you how to deal with it. By the way, Mr. Wei went to your eldest grandson's house, but for the Yong'an Palace?" Wang Kuang ignored him and discussed the topic of diamonds.  , being able to point him to this level is already a bit protective. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Changle is the daughter of Queen Changsun and a nice person, he wouldn't bother to remind him. Is it a loss for the Changsun family to do something wrong to him?  ?

    The Changsun family has always been mainly traveling to the Western Regions, otherwise they would not have opened so many jade shops. Wang Kuang can imagine that their family must have stored a lot of diamonds, thinking that diamonds are just like white jade, and there is only one  Where it is produced.  But they don¡¯t know that the current origin of diamonds is mainly the Indian Peninsula, but within a few hundred years, a large number of diamonds will be discovered in southern Africa, but these are nothing. If the reserves in other places are added up and multiplied by ten times, it may not be possible.  It can keep up with the large mineral reserves in the north.

    Changsun Chong still plans to take a look before talking about it, for him.  Three or two years is too late, even if Wang Kuang does find such a large mine, from the time it is found to the time it is mined in large quantities.  That also takes time, right?  You can wait until Wang Kuang actually brings him a big kun stone, and then decide whether to take action or not. The so-called high-ranking people, naturally the news comes faster than the people, right?

    So he just smiled, let it go, and replied to Wang Kuang: "It's not that bad. I just returned home. I saw Wei Xianggong was already sitting in front of the hall, debating something with his father. The person in front of me was not there.  Hearing this, his father asked him: "Why, I lost a bet with the Marquis of Jian'an some time ago and my confidence is low, but this time I want someone to come forward?" Wei Xianggong's face was red at that time. Well, and Sanbai  Your ass is worth it."

    Sanbai, who was leaning against Wang Kuang and rubbing Wang Kuang's thick sheepskin fur robe for warmth, actually mentioned it when he heard it.  He raised his eyes and glanced at Changsun Chong, just in time to see Changsun Chong's smile that was a bit obscene and thief-like. He thought that this guy was talking bad about him, so he quit now, grabbed a handful of snacks in front of him, and drank.  He jumped over and stuffed Changsun Chong's mouth full, then jumped back and continued to lean against Wang Kuang, while he was screaming.  One hand was hooked around Wang Kuang's neck, and the other hand was still gesticulating.

    The two little squirrels that were originally nestled on Wang Kuang's shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right, not only keeping Wang Kuang warm but also keeping themselves warm, were as fast as lightning when they heard Sanbai's chirping.  A jump.  One left and one right actually slapped Chang Sun Chong's head down on the chair, and then jumped back to Wang Kuang's shoulder to ask for credit to San Bai. It must be said that San Bai's talent is unmatched. These two little guys  Not long after they returned to Chang'an, they were subdued by Sanbai again. Sanbai saw that they were brought back by his own master, so there was no point in forcing them. Otherwise, these two guys would be reduced to Sanbai when they first met.  The thugs were fighting, but the current situation was not much better. Sanbai didn't dare to order them squatting on Wang Kuang's shoulders. If he dared, Changsun Chong would be more than just slapped on the head.

    It was rare for Li Ke to see this scene, and he burst into laughter when he saw it. Changsun Chong had become accustomed to this, just like whenever he wanted to make an analogy, he always thought of Sanbai first. It can be said that  , has been prepared for it, and he is not a masochist. Sanbai is really too smart, so smart that no one who has seen it dislikes it, and Sanbai has always ignored outsiders, no matter how he teases or how  To please, Sanbai was always indifferent and had no other choice, so Changsun Chong had to occasionally use some small methods to irritate Sanbai, and let Sanbai take the initiative to "provoke" him, and then he could fight Sanbai.  Making a fuss has become a habit.

    But today, he didn't expect that even two little squirrels would team up to bully him. These two little squirrels are not big on airs. As long as there are peanuts, melon seeds, etc. that they like to eat, they are willing to jump on it.  Come in the palm of your hand.  So I was caught off guard and was photographed by two little guys, which made me a little embarrassed.

    "Haha, you deserve it. Who told you to always offend Sanbai? Who are you using as an analogy? You have to?Looking for Sanbai?  "Wang Kuang laughed loudly, but he didn't have time to lower his hand. He patted Sanbai's head as punishment: "Don't go too far!  "Sanbai squeaked in aggrievedness, and then lay down quietly, never looking at Changsun Chong again, which completely failed Changsun Chong's plan, and made Changsun Chong roll his eyes in anger.

    "Okay, let's get back to the subject. I know that Xianggong Wei must be against the construction of Yong'an Palace. Did you rush forward again and repeat what I said to you? Then Xianggong Wei changed his mind and jumped to say it as soon as possible.  Are you coming to build Yong'an Palace?" Wang Kuang asked, taking over Chang Sun Chong's previous topic.

    "Hey, it's true. A certain person said that most of the physical weakness from the Supreme Emperor to the little princess was related to the Taiji Palace. He also told Erlang about the terrain of the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong where Chang'an is located. Wei Xianggong just thought about it.  When it was time for a cup of tea, he changed his mind and said that the Yong'an Palace must be repaired and that it had to be repaired as soon as possible. He didn't finish the cup of tea and left in a hurry, saying that he was going to find those who might oppose the construction of the Yong'an Palace.  The big guys said to go ahead, lest Gao Sheren's excuses come up and they have to argue for a long time in the court. He said that in half a day's work, if there are enough craftsmen, they can build the beams of a hall, haha  ."

    All this was expected by Wang Kuang. Old Wei was an upright man. He had just lost a bet with him not long ago, but Wang Kuang did not ask him to give anything. Instead, if Wang Kuang lost, he would give ten dollars.  Wan Guan, so the bet at that time was very unfair to Wang Kuang. He, Old Man Wei, was already in an invincible position, so today when he said that he wanted to build Yong'an Palace, Old Man Wei was not too embarrassed to immediately lose face.  To come to him, he must first find allies. If there are many opponents in the court, he will have the confidence to come to Wang Kuang.

    For an alliance, the most powerful person is naturally Changsun Wuji, so it is not surprising that he would find Changsun Wuji, but he did not expect it to be so soon. Wang Kuang originally thought that they would argue in the court for a long time, and then Old Man Wei  To start his journey of defeating each one, he came to the door one by one. It seems that Gao Lengmian and Old Man Wei are not far away. Gao Lengmian must have gone to discuss with Old Man Wei first, and then Old Man Wei felt that the matter was related.  It¡¯s important, I¡¯ll go find Changsun Wuji immediately.

    Old Man Wei would probably not object to raising the salary of officials. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. He still understands, and the income of officials is indeed not enough. He himself only wears court clothes and lives at home.  Wearing a patched robe, therefore, when Wang Kuang proposed a salary increase, he would not object, but he would not jump out and say yes, because this was an issue related to the work enthusiasm of thousands of officials in the Tang Dynasty.

    But the construction of Yong'an Palace, on the surface, is for the enjoyment of the emperor alone or the emperor's family, and has little to do with the officials. The size of Yong'an Palace can be said to be unprecedented, covering an area of ??more than three square kilometers.  Four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty!  If it had not been destroyed more than two hundred years later, it would have been the largest building in the world, one of the largest!

    It can be imagined that such a grand building requires an astronomical amount of manpower, material and financial resources.  If it had been ten years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a waste of people and money. But at that time, it was built for the Supreme Emperor, and Old Man Wei was a die-hard loyalist of the Supreme Emperor. If Li Shimin had not been moved by his refusal to kill, I am afraid that he would have died sooner.  It has been many years since he was reincarnated. Of course, this would only happen if there were real ghosts in this world.

    "Now that the Supreme Emperor is gone, there is no reason to build the Yong'an Palace anymore. Taiji Palace is enough. I am the husband, but I can live in such a shabby place. Why don't you officials be a little more crowded?"  Therefore, when he heard that the reason for building Yong'an Palace was because the current Taiji Palace did not match the power and status of the Tang Dynasty, he felt that this reason was too far-fetched. However, since it was Wang Kuang who proposed it, there must be others later.  I had other ideas, so I immediately went to Changsun Wuji to discuss the construction of Yong'an Palace. Maybe it was the emperor's instruction. After the emperor surrendered, the last official he saw was Wang Kuang. Who knows what the emperor said to him?  Already?  As for Changsun Wuji, he is the emperor's wife's uncle, so there may be some rumors about him.

    And when he heard that the Tai Chi Palace was responsible for the early death of the Supreme Emperor, and that everyone from the emperor down to the little princess who was loved by everyone was affected by the cold and damp conditions of the Tai Chi Palace and was not in good health, Old Wei naturally had to change his mind.  .

    There is no doubt that the emperor is a good emperor, but the prince is not a good prince. This is also obvious. And the emperor has not deposed the prince. Among the several powerful competitors, some of them either have not strong enough status, and some have strong enough status.  , but people also have problems of one kind or another. Therefore, in Old Man Wei's opinion, the emperor must not return to the west as early as the Supreme Emperor, otherwise it will cause the world that has just recovered to have trouble again.  If you fall into chaos, even if someone needs to come to pick you up, you must at least wait until the foundation is laid. Once the foundation is laid, even if the emperor is incompetent, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be irreversible.  ??To be continued.  .
