"Of course it has something to do with it!!"
"Please tell the prince clearly."
Bruce said with a mysterious face.
"There are often fallen leaves and even mosquitoes clearly identifiable in the amber, but if you burn the amber with fire, you can find that it is the smell of turpentine.
Therefore, some people speculate that it must have been a long time ago that the pine resin dripped and covered the mosquito, and after a period of time it became amber. "
Lu Chengqing's eyes widened when he heard this, he only knew that amber is a gemstone and also a medicinal material, and eating it can facilitate urination.
But amber has never been burned, let alone how amber is formed. After all, this is a gem, who would burn it with fire.
If Bruce is right, then this glazed ball...could it be...
Thinking of this, he blurted out: "Could it be that the dragon in the glazed jade seal is also formed by this principle?"
"Of course not, there are no such small dragons." Belus said with contempt.
"That's right?" Lu Chengqing nodded and thought it made sense: "That's it?"
"There is a person who is alchemy and treasure hunting, and when he is looking for treasure, he unintentionally dug up the dragon's vein.
This one is the colored glaze condensed by the dragon's veins, so there is still a mouthful of completely dissipated dragon energy in the colored glaze. "
Belus said with a very cautious expression.
"Dragon Qi?" Lu Chengqing frowned, thinking.
He knows about the dragon veins, and he also knows about the earth dragon turning over (earthquake). Every time the earth dragon turns over, the earth shakes, the houses collapse, and the plague will break out afterwards, which is very terrifying.
But he had never heard of the Dragon Qi, nor had he seen the Dragon Qi. Lu Chengqing couldn't tell whether it was real or not, but just looking at this big colored glaze was worth a fortune.
"The dragon energy in this jade seal can protect the dynasty and prolong the life of future generations.
It's a pity that the dragon spirit dissipated after a long time, and Persia's situation went from bad to worse, so I had no choice but to mortgage the jade seal in exchange for some money and food. "
Patronage dynasty?If there is such an effect, how can it end up in exile?
Lu Chengqing couldn't help but found it funny and asked: "Then why did the prince mortgage it to me instead of others?"
Belus explained helplessly: "This is my Persian jade seal. Even if it is dedicated to His Majesty, His Majesty will not give money or food."
Lu Chengqing nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Normally speaking, he would not think of sending reinforcements to help Persia, it was beyond his reach.
"Today's five surnames, Cui Lu is a first-class family, then Master Cui Ren is useless, everyone knows that he supports the king of Wei.
And the relationship between King Wei and his majesty's father and son is very close.
If they do business with them, Cui Renshi will definitely please King Wei, and His Majesty will know about it.
At that time, instead of getting money and food, he might even be reprimanded by His Majesty and King Wei, and even be driven out of Tang Dynasty. "
Lu Chengqing nodded again and again, Cui Lu's first-class family is right, it's just that Cui Renshi has no brains, can't be used, and secretly supports Wei Wang.
Giving things to him is not the same as handing them over to Li Shimin, and it is thankless.
"The Lu family is no worse than the Cui family. I heard that the county magistrate is handsome, benevolent, and well-read.
There is no second person in the entire Tang Dynasty, such a god-man as the Duke of the county, Wang Ji and Kong Yingda are not worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Duke of the county."
"Hahaha, the prince was joking, joking." Lu Chengqing was obviously very comfortable in the photo: "How dare I compare with them..."
"No, no, in my prince's heart, it should be called 'Qianzhang Lulang'.
If it weren't for the fact that this prince is older and is a Persian, this prince will definitely regard the county magistrate as his adoptive father, and he can't wait to serve him by his side day and night. "
"The prince must be drunk..." Lu Chengqing was speechless for a moment, the barbarians still wanted to treat me as a foster father, which was so beautiful.
Chapter 106 Deal
"No, I don't get drunk after a thousand cups, how could I get drunk!"
Although Belus's face was flushed, but his eyes were clear, he asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know, this jade seal may be able to get into the eyes of the Duke?"
Lu Chengqing made no secret that he wanted to own this jade seal. Although he didn't know if the story was true or not, anyone who saw it knew it was a treasure.
"The prince is really joking. This extraordinary treasure, not to mention the joy of the Duke of this county, I am afraid that the world wants to treasure it."
"However, I dare to ask the prince, how to evaluate the price of this jade seal? Should it be sold at an estimated price? Or mortgaged?"
"Mortage, of course it is a mortgage." Belus said without hesitation.
"mortgage?"
"This kind of treasure can only be mortgaged." Belus said with heavy reluctance, and the corners of his eyes gradually became moist, as if he was about to cry.
"This is not only a treasure, but also the jade seal of the Sasanian Persian Kingdom."
He held it in his hands, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't know what sad thing he thought of, so he choked up.
"If it weren't for the collapse of the country and the death of the family, no one would hand over the jade seal of his throne to others at the time of life and death."
Seeing his true feelings revealed, Lu Chengqing couldn't help feeling emotional.
Just imagine, if you are in exile and can't take care of yourself, how can you care about the ruin of the country?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration in his heart: "Prince, don't be sad, as the saying goes, you can see the blue sky when you push through the clouds, and you can see the moon when you keep the clouds open.
The prince can have such courage and determination, he is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and when the wind and clouds meet, he will surely leap and see the blue sky guarding the clouds.
Wouldn't it be great if the prince ascended to the throne at that time and sent someone to take it? "
"The justice of the county is unparalleled in the world." Belus was moved, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said.
Lu Chengqing has slightly changed his opinion of Belus>
Although he is a little stupid, but he speaks nicely, and he can not forget his family and country, he is actually not bad.
But admiration is admiration. I am a businessman. The biggest taboo in doing business is to bring personal feelings.
It's easy to hurt feelings like this, and at the same time, you don't earn money.
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqing asked: "Then I don't know how long the prince wants to mortgage, and how?"
Bruce thought for a while and said.
"With 30 shi of grain, you can make 600 taels of gold.
And this jade seal is enough to make 3000 taels of gold mortgage, the mortgage period is five years, and the interest is calculated according to nine out of thirteen.
How about the first month's interest waived by the county government? "
"Mortgage 3000 taels, five years?" Lu Chengqing silently calculated in his mind.
30 shi of grain is worth 600 taels of gold, which is actually not bad.
As for Yuxi's mortgage of 3000 taels of gold, that is to say, he has to pay 400 taels of gold.
Nine out is the interest of thirteen returns, and the handling fee is waived, so if you want to redeem it after five years, it will be 900 taels of gold.
If all goes well, if the other party repays the money after five years, then I can get 900 taels of gold.
Of course, this is only when everything goes well, but the stakes are also high.
Relying on this idiot prince to pacify Persia for five years?This is a bit too much thinking, let alone five years, I'm afraid I have to make a plan for him to die there.
If the other party is really dead, all he can get is such a jade seal, and the compensation will be 30 shi of grain and 400 taels of gold.
Is it really worth it to exchange such a glazed jade seal for 30 shi of grain and 400 taels of gold?
Lu Chengqing thought for a moment, weighed it for a long time, and frowned for a long time.
He felt that the price was not expensive, and he wanted to get this jade seal very much, but at the same time he was very reluctant to part with so much money and food.
Thinking of this, an idea could not help but emerge in Lu Chengqing's heart.
Why don't you just come to kill people and rob goods, so that you can have both fish and bear's paw soon?
Immediately, murderous intentions filled his heart, but with a smile on his face, he approached Bellus and said.
"Night~dark~wind is high, long road~long, if the prince never comes back, wouldn't the Duke be in a big loss?"
Belus saw that he was hiding a knife in his smile, with malicious intentions, instead of being afraid, he leaned closer and looked directly into his eyes.
"How come~, people and horses outside the house are noisy, candles are brightly lit, and the brilliance is dazzling."
While speaking, he looked confidently and raised his eyebrows.
It turns out that there are people outside the house!
The corners of Lu Chengqing's mouth raised slightly, expressing his disdain, since everyone is here, the people outside are nothing.
Seeing that he didn't scare Lu Chengqing, Belus said: "Your Majesty is wise and benevolent today, and will definitely protect this prince's safety. What do you think?"
"Huh?" Hearing the other party mention Li Shimin, Lu Chengqing felt a little troubled.
He didn't care that the people of Bilous came to close the door and beat the dog, and then a robber broke in and put it off.
But if the other party notified Li Shimin, then he had to take Li Shimin into consideration.
Back then, when Li Shimin led his troops all the way to Fan Yang, Lu Chengqing's father surrendered on his own initiative, so Li Shimin couldn't find a reason to attack.
If this matter gets out, the loss of credibility is a trivial matter.Once Li Shimin is given an excuse to do something, it will be a big deal.
It's not worth it, it's not worth it, it's not worth doing such a stupid thing for a jade seal.
Good for you!
Lu Chengqing looked at Belus with some reluctance, and resolved the confrontation with a smile: "I feel that what I said is reasonable, and this county has agreed to it!!"
A confrontation was thus resolved.
"Your Majesty is so righteous!!" Belus let out a breath, his whole back was wet with cold sweat, obviously not as relaxed as it looked.
"Then this matter is settled like this. When the Duke prepares the food, how about the Duke and the prince paying both money and goods?"
While speaking, Belus put the box kingdom in his sleeve.
Seeing the brocade box being taken back, Lu Chengqing agreed reluctantly, "Okay."
But he changed the subject and suggested: "However, the county government has a better idea."
"Oh, what's the county's opinion?" Belus was taken aback, and looked at Lu Chengqing.
"It's getting late, the prince is carrying treasures.
If it is missed by thieves, the damage to the treasure is a small matter, but if it hurts the prince, it is a major matter.
Why don't you stay here for one night and hand it over to me tomorrow? "
"Tomorrow?" Belus frowned, pretending not to understand.
"Master Tomorrow can prepare 30 shi of food, even if it is ready, the prince will not be able to find the fleet for a while!"
Lu Chengqing smiled like a fox, waved his hand and said.
"Hey, it's just a fleet of ships, as the saying goes, sending Buddhas to the West.
Mere fleets, I will send you a fleet. By tomorrow morning, everything will be ready.
The prince only needs to set sail quickly before he can head back home. "
"The Duke of the county is really benevolent and righteous. Looking at ancient and modern times, he is really comparable to the sage of Confucius." Bellus pretended to be moved, and two lines of tears slowly fell, and said excitedly.
"The prince is drunk again, how can I compare to that Confucius sage?" Lu Chengqing said a little speechlessly.
The business has been negotiated, Belus poured out his bitterness, and Lu Chengqing began to comfort him.
In the end, both of them fell on the wine table.
Soon, the guards outside the door carried Bailusi away and arranged him in a room.
But Lu Chengqing, who was drunk, was sober at this moment.
"Go, take out 400 taels of gold from the warehouse, and then order people to load the old grain from the warehouse for more than three years on board.
The new grain and the old grain are mixed together, a total of 30 stones are loaded, and the Persians must not be allowed to check out the problem.
Remember to arrange more swordsmen on the boat, and wait until the boat leaves the dock and leaves Chang'an before sending the Persian prince to see Jesus.
It must be done cleanly, and no mistakes can be made. "
"Yes!" The housekeeper hurriedly left after hearing this.
"Do you really think my Lu family's money and food are so easy to get?" Lu Chengqing looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer: "You dare to threaten me with the Li family, I'm really tired of work."
