Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 948 Crazy Stone

Does it matter who wins?

Hearing Liu Mu's words, Li Yuan smiled heartily: "That's right."

Willow continued:

"Father, the Tang Dynasty will eventually be a great empire that accommodates all races. The most important thing to integrate all races is not weapons, nor national power, but belief. It may be belief in coins, or belief in life. Taoism and It is time for the new Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty to contribute to the country."

After listening to Liu Mu's suggestion, Li Yuan asked back: "New Buddhism, what are you doing?"

"It's very easy. First claim that Tianzhu has been invaded by evil Buddhas. The orthodoxy was introduced into the Tang Dynasty in the early years. As for who is orthodox, steel knives and cannons have the final say. The new Buddhism and Taoism have one thing in common, that is, self-cultivation , Believe in the Son of Heaven. If there is a god, then heaven and earth are gods.”

Li Yuan nodded: "It's a good idea, let those who have read a few books in the court study this matter carefully. By the way, I don't understand why you stay here and don't go back to Chang'an."

"Oh!" Willow sighed heavily.

Li Yuan immediately said: "What's the matter, I'll be your father. Is Erlang making things difficult for you again?"

"It's not the second brother, it's Lan Ruo. I'm also to blame. There is something that Lan Ruo found out too early. I showed something to my father. I sent people to find it secretly. Because not many people were sent. I only found more than a dozen yuan. I was lucky, and one piece was barely considered high-grade."

Liu Mu took Li Yuan to his house.

"Father, the rest are stored in the Zhuangzi in Jingyang, and I keep them in the cellar. Lan Ruo has seen it several times, but she doesn't know what it is. I only bring one piece with me."

What Li Yuan looked at was a stone, a very ordinary stone, round and bare, it looked like it was picked up from the river.

"It's nothing special."

Willow turned the stone over, and a touch of green appeared on the other side of the stone.

"Emerald, the supreme emperor jade in the world, is the emperor green of the supreme glass species of jadeite. If jadeite is divided, it can be divided into more than a dozen types, dozens of different grades. I haven't cracked this piece completely. Judging from this section, I think it should be ice bean green, barely considered top grade."

Then Li Yuan picked up the stone with a diameter of about seven centimeters and looked at it carefully.

After a full stick of incense, Li Yuan spat out a word.

"nice!"

"Lan Ruo returned to Chang'an, probably to ask the second brother for an order. She wants to capture the only production area in the world. I am actually very concerned about that place. Apart from emeralds, there is another use that can continue to capture westward, and then the north can be attacked. Tubo, you can attack Tianzhu in the south."

Li Yuan didn't hear what Liu Mu was saying at all, he had already tapped the skin lightly with a dagger.

Liu Mu thought that Li Yuan heard it, and continued: "By the way, this Tubo is actually not very friendly. They are also ambitious. The strategic plan has been discussed. Our Tang Dynasty will never invade the territory of other countries. I have a clever plan." , is to find some miserable oppressed Tubo serfs, and then..."

While Liu Mu was talking, Li Yuan suddenly threw away the dagger and asked Liu Mu, "Do you have a pedal millstone here?"

"Moshi?" Only then did Liu Mu notice that Li Yuan didn't listen to his own words at all.

Well, there are millstones.

There must be millstones in the military camp, and there are many types, such as long, square, small round, tapered, etc., hand millstones.Then there are pedal-type fast-rotating coarse whetstones. In the military camp, knives, gun heads, and arrowheads need to be sharpened every day. There are a large number of whetstones in various varieties.

Soon, all kinds of millstones were moved in.

Hearing Li Yuan's arrival, Hou Junji, who was in the truce period, also arranged the army and rode over quickly.

He came to give gifts, and he got a few pieces of high-quality topaz. These are indeed good things in South Asia, but jadeite cannot be counted among them.

The best piece must be given to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and he plans to give the other piece to Liumu.

It was Liu Mu who helped him get the opportunity of the Southern Expedition, and raised his position in the Ministry of War. He also wanted to get an overseas fief, not too big, just a spice garden.

So I want to ask Liu Mu to help him choose another one and guide him to choose a good place.

Hou Junji begged to see Li Yuan, but was refused.

In the end, under the leadership of Liu Mu, he met Li Yuan on an informal occasion. Hou Junji was surprised to find that Niu Jinda and other generals, as well as Sima who accompanied the army, surrounded Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's dragon robe was already covered with mud, but he was working in person. It was impossible to wash this grade of silk, even if it was washed, it could not restore its original luster.

Li Yuan obviously didn't care about this dragon robe, this kind of dragon robe for ordinary clothes can be given to Jiangnan, and dozens of sets can be given casually within a month.Compared with this dragon robe, the stone in front of him makes Li Yuan's heart more peaceful.

Everyone's eyes never left the stone, of course not including the willow.

Liu Mu bit his pipe and was researching with a map at the side. In fact, Liu Mu couldn't figure out where the old pit of later generations was in this era, but he could still tell the difference.

If you dig, you will definitely find a piece of supreme emperor green in a few months.

When Hou Junji arrived, he also joined the crowd.

It has been three hours since Li Yuan saw that stone for the first time. Li Yuan stared at that stone without eating or drinking.

Finally, Li Yuan stopped what he was doing.

"Mu, come here."

Li Yuan suddenly drank together, so frightened that Liu Mu even threw away his pipe, and trotted over.

"Look." Li Yuan handed the emerald which was only the size of a goose egg to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu hung the jade with a very thin silk thread, then took out an agate stick from his bosom and tapped it lightly.

Everyone who heard the clear, metal-like voice was fascinated.

The furniture prepared by Liumu is complete. Although the site has not been occupied yet, it is Liumu's habit to prepare tools in advance.

Wearing a monocular magnifying glass, hold a condenser and point it at the sun.

If Liumu can see something, the answer is no.

A code farmer of later generations also knows what jade is, how could he know what the best jade is, but it doesn't affect Liu Mu pretending to check it out.

Li Yuan stared at Liu Mu closely, and the people beside him didn't dare to take a breath.

After a full cup of tea, Liu Mu handed the piece of jadeite and the tools in his hand to Li Yuan: "Father, it is almost the same as what I guessed at first, it is barely top-grade, and it is far from the top-grade, and it is as good as the Supreme Emperor. The level difference is even further. But this piece, if my son was back then, would definitely be a family heirloom."
