My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40: Emerald Planning



Back at the old house, Li Yin checked the jade information on the Internet. Currently, ninety-five percent of commercial-grade jadeite in the international market comes from Myanmar, so jadeite is also called Burmese jade. The amount is extremely high, reaching eight billion U.S. dollars in just one year, and with the depletion of raw jadeite mines in Myanmar, the price of jadeite is rising steadily. In an auction of rough jadeite in Myanmar last year, a piece of 112 kg The heavy ice-bottomed green flower jadeite rough even set a single transaction price of 500 million yuan.

  Seeing this, Li Yan was stunned when he thought about the three-meter-high, five-meter-wide, and dozens of tons of rough jadeite in the ring. Once this rough stone came out, wouldn't it be a shock to the whole world?

  The next day, Li Yin arrived at the Datang Auction House before dawn. Xiao Zhao, the receptionist at the front desk, was startled when he saw Li Yin, and hurriedly hid the half-eaten breakfast. Li Yin saw this scene and smiled.

   "Call Director Yang to come over!" Li Yin said, and then added: "Keep eating, it's not time for work yet."

"Yes, chairman!" Xiao Zhao, whose name is Zhao Yuanyuan, just graduated from school this year and has worked in the auction house for three months. She will become a regular in a few days. Looking at Li Min who was going upstairs, she gently He let out a breath, hoping that he didn't leave a bad impression on Li Yin.

  Yang Suxin's family lives in a neighborhood not far from Paibushang. When she received a call from Zhao Yuanyuan, she hurried over with some light makeup on. The chairman, who is always on the go, rarely comes to the auction house a few times.

  "Chairman!" Knocking on the door and coming in, Yang Suxin sat opposite Li Yin, "You are really mysterious, you have always been looking for us, and we have never found you!"

  Li Yin said: "The mysterious one is called the chairman, and the one who stays in the company all day is the professional manager."

   "Yeah, working for the boss like us is hard life!" Yang Suxin and Li Yin are also acquaintances, and they can talk freely.

Li Yin said with a smile: "Don't be modest. You are also the second boss. By the way, let's talk about business. You go to an internationally renowned auction house and say that you are going to auction the rough jadeite. Here are some photos of the rough jadeite. Let’s find some authoritative emerald appraisal experts.”

  Yang Suxin was stunned, and said: "Chairman, how did you start the jadeite business!" She picked up the photos and looked at them, covering her mouth in surprise, "Such a big rough jadeite!"

   "That's why I asked you to find a large international auction house!"

After being surprised, Yang Suxin calmed down. After all, she was someone who had seen the world, and said: "Chairman, you won't be fooled, right now the stone gambling business is very risky, you must have spent a lot of money to buy this stone." Come down!"

Li Yin was also confused, he just saw that the corner of the stone was emerald, how could he know what the other places looked like, but he believed that Piao Kingdom would not pick this rough stone for no reason, Li Yin said: "Gambling stones Of course, it is a gamble, spend money to recruit Chinese and foreign media, make the momentum bigger, and cut the original in front of the media in the auction house, the fake one is right to be a joke, really, it is enough to become famous all over the world! "

   Li Yin is the boss, and when the boss spoke, Yang Suxin didn't say anything else, and reported the company's operating situation to Li Yin. Yang Suxin followed Li Yin's words and went to find the sh city international auction house first.

   It is not a matter of a day or two to organize the media and experts. Li Yin went back to the palace to explain the matter, and then returned to the auction house. Li Shimin entrusted him with the task of building underground pipelines. He must have some refreshments.

Holding the Chang'an underground pipeline diagram he drew, Li Yin asked the company's driver to drive him to an engineering design company, and asked them to design a set of drawings based on the actual situation. Professionals do it.

  The engineering design company is located in a commercial area of ​​sh city. After talking to the design company about his requirements, Li Yin didn't bother to wait, so he went shopping in the street.

Walking on the street, Li Yin was looking at the products in the store while thinking about how to get these things to the Tang Dynasty. After living for a period of time, the lack of living materials in the Tang Dynasty made him miserable, so he should think of a way Yes, passing by a watch shop, Li Yin stopped, with a flash of inspiration.

   "Boss, can you customize watches here?"

   "Of course, but we won't do one or two!"

   "A hundred lines?"

   "This is fine, what style do you want?"

   "I want an older automatic mechanical watch. The time on it is replaced by the traditional Chinese Zishi Maoshi, is that okay?"

"no problem!"

  Leaving the watch shop, Li Yin bought some snacks and went back. The Tang Dynasty food was really unbearable. One day he had to kill the cook of the palace and let him cook the dishes of the 21st century.

  The efficiency of the design institute is very fast. In the afternoon, Li Yin got the blueprint. Check the time, he should go to the Ministry of Industry to report.

  Lv Shang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Li Yin. Li Shimin's will has reached the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Highness, the emperor has explained that you are responsible for all the underground plumbing, and you can just open your mouth as much labor and money as you need!" Lu Shang pulled Li Yin aside and said in a low voice, "It's just that your Highness needs to be more careful. The emperor is watching, and His Royal Highness is also watching." After speaking, he glanced at an official in his twenties sitting in the northwest corner.

Li Yin didn't know that official, but Lu Shang's meaning was obvious, that person was the prince, "Master Shangshu, since Li Yin has taken the official position of Yuanwailang, he is your subordinate. Your Highness wants to say that it is enough to treat Li Yin as an ordinary official."

   Lu Shang understood that Li Min was acting, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really approachable, so Lu Shang will be bold!"

The construction of the underground pipeline was imminent, and after exchanging greetings with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, Li Yin opened the blueprint and began to explain to these officials how to construct it. At the same time, he also knew that the official's name was Zhao Jie, who served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and was his immediate superior. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Chengqian rebelled against him. There was also a man named Zhao Jie. I don't know if it was him.

   "The construction method is very simple, dig trenches, bury pipes, and finally backfill. The most important point is the slope. This **** must be well grasped, otherwise the water will not drain out."

   Li Yin couldn't be a polished commander when he took office, so Lu Shang sent two more nine-rank Ministry of Industry chiefs to Li Yin, one named Kong Chi and one named Wang Shen, both of whom had just joined the Ministry of Industry.

   "My lord, these are not problems. What is difficult is how to make this pipe?" Kong Chi asked.

Li Yin had prepared for a long time, and took out the pipe joint drawings designed by the design institute, all of which were the specific shapes and sizes of the pipes. It’s gorgeous and looks good, and it’s durable.”

   "Yes, my lord!" The two took orders and left.

After leaving the Ministry of Industry, Li Yin's mood was a little gloomy. He has been reluctant to participate in the government to avoid attracting the attention of some people. He still understands the reason that the emperor's family has no family ties. Although Li Chengqian is firmly seated as the prince now, He still hasn't let go of his vigilance against his younger brothers. This is evident from the fact that Li Yin has inserted his confidants in as soon as he took office in the Ministry of Industry.

"It's time to plan ahead!" Thinking of the tragic fate of Li Ke and Li Yin after Li Shimin's death, he felt the unsettling crisis for the first time, "Yesterday Li Yin died, and today's Li Yin will never die again." It’s the wrong course of history!” Li Yin swore secretly.

  As if feeling the change in Li Yin's heart, Hong Haier let out a high-pitched horse cry, and ran forward with hoofs.
