Although the Tang Dynasty was brewing crisis, it was still quite calm as a whole.
Especially when the Chinese New Year is coming, except for working on the corvee service in the cold wind in the Wanxiang Temple, although the others are busy, they are already doing things to some extent.
As for Li Tai's efforts to get the corvee workers to work, it was because he was able to build the Wanxiang Temple before the New Year.
By then, Li Shimin will be allowed to take over on the Lantern Festival, and he will also make up for one thing.
Of course, in the same winter, Lu Chengji was sent as an envoy of the King of Wei to Goguryeo to find Yoon Gassuwen.
In recent years, the trade between the Agricultural Institution and Goguryeo has become increasingly close. As a large Youzhou clan, Lu Chengji was Li Chunfeng's assistant to manage Youzhou.
So it was not the first time Lu Chengji came to Goguryeo. But as the Lu clan of Youzhou, Lu Chengji had more or less a headache about the task assigned to him by the court - to reach a tacit understanding with Yuan Gai Suwen in the name of King Wei.
Lu Chengji is naturally not a fool. This thing is the order of the court, and it is obviously the court calculating what it is.
It’s just that my position is too low and I don’t know the complete plan of the court.
But Lu Chengji knew very well that if he did this, Li Chunfeng or Liu Rengui would be transferred from now on, and it might be his turn to take charge of Youzhou, but the premise was that he could go back alive.
No matter whether there are any unevenness or not, it is enough to open the eyes of people in this era.
If it weren't for the town established by the King of Wei, it would have a close relationship with the trade in Goguryeo. Do you think that except for the King of Wei, the entire Tang Dynasty, would anyone really care about Goguryeo!"
However, with the tacit understanding with the Tang army, Yoon Gaisuwen finally put down his mind and began to clean up the opponents within Goguryeo in an orderly manner. That was really the case that those who were in line would prosper, and those who were against would perish. It was very lively for a while.
If you make a deal with this person, it would be impossible to save Emperor Tang from attacking me, Goguryeo!
We will hold a banquet tomorrow, so let us reward the King of Wei. The envoy of the King of Wei will give the King of Wei some ginseng and deer antler to replenish the yang!
In order to show sincerity, the King of Wei even sent grain and silk to congratulate you on becoming Mo Lizhi."
As for transparent glass, we have also developed research, but the process technology is not good, so the cost of burning transparent glass is still too high.
Yoon Gaisuwen snorted coldly in response to Lu Chengji's words, slapped the chopping board hard, and then said: "But if someone is willing to be friends with me, the Goguryeo, we Goguryeo will not make it difficult for friends to do, but I don't know if this friend is
Sincerely!”
"Yes! The King of Wei congratulated you on becoming Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, and hoped to further increase trade with Goguryeo!" Lu Chengji said calmly,
"I hope to buy a large amount of specialty products such as jade, ginseng, deer antler or fur from Goguryeo.
In short, Lu Chengji completed the task very well and reached a tacit understanding with Goguryeo.
When Lu Chengji thought of this, he became more confident.
"Your envoy comes from afar, so it's better to go to the inn to rest first. We, Goguryeo, will carefully consider the requirements of your envoy!"
"At the beginning, the Great Sui Dynasty was defeated under my Goguryeo City. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to give it a try, what would I be afraid of!"
"You are not afraid that I will kill you, and the things you bring now are mine!"
Originally, Li Tai wanted to change it to the Wei River, but after thinking about it, of course, the Yellow River is so grand!
Moreover, the Wei River is also considered a tributary of the Yellow River, so it is naturally no problem to say that it is the Yellow River.
"It is true that Tianjin and Goguryeo have been engaged in business for many years. The gifts I have brought are true. What can Mo Lizhi have to doubt?
But when I was killed, Goguryeo lost your only allies in the Tang Dynasty. What I had to face was the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!”
But Yuan Gaisuwen is considered a soldier in power. Although he attaches importance to food, he will not care about how food comes from.
I couldn't help but have an idea, does such a palace really belong to me?
As for food, there is a constant stream of food at the wharf every day, and it is much lower than in other places.
The skin on his face was slightly scarred, and the rough tiger's mouth had thick cocoons. When he looked at him, the evil spirit that was revealed made Lu Chengji feel cold. He didn't want to die here!
Through this trade port, they introduced various luxury goods of the Tang Dynasty into Goguryeo, thus changing their lives.
This led to the people seeing profitable experiences and decided to dig ginseng next year. Anyway, there are many ginseng in Goguryeo, and it can even be praised by weight.
But now this building was used by the King of Wei to honor Li Shimin...
But in fact, Li Tai installed stained glass on the outside wall...
"King of Wei... the King of Wei who established Tianjin?!" Yuan Gai Suwen knew Li Tai's name clearly.
So Lu Chengji thought about it a lot, but found that there was no need to use it at all.
"I heard that it seems to be ginseng to replenish qi and deer antler to replenish kidneys. It is a rare medicine for Tang people to replenish yang. After eating it, you can control hundreds of girls at night! I think that King Wei needs it every day!" Yuan boy replied.
However, what really brought these materials to the extreme was Yan Lide's design and Wang Zhenru's joint efforts with the entire craftsmen and corvee workers.
Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Lu Chengji's departure and said with some confusion, "You said... this King of Wei really wants to make friends with us?"
There were endless sounds. When everyone saw the true appearance of the God of Wanxiang, they felt that this was not like a building on earth.
After all, the entire building is just this floor, which is the real temple, so it is naturally used to highlight the magic!
Of course, after the unveiling of this Vientiane Temple, there is also a five-character poem that is accompanied by the Vientiane Temple:
"The sun is over the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. I want to see you thousands of miles away and go up to a higher level."
Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Lu Chengji and said disdainfully, "As for King Wei, he is far away in the Tang Dynasty and can't control me!"
As long as the food can eventually fall into Goguryeo, then it will be obtained from the King of Wei or collected from the people, Yuan Gaisuwen doesn't care.
By the way, tell the messenger that the prescription of the strange medicine can also be considered in the conditions for conversation!”
These censors looked at the rainbow-like building in front of them, but for a moment they were a little unacceptable.
After all, these people have been working for the past few years, not to mention becoming craftsmen, but as long as they make the requirements clear, they can build this building with their own hands.
After all, the food delivered is real, and the kindness of the King of Wei is real. But if something really happens when the Tang people get lost in Goguryeo, the idea of having to send troops to Goguryeo is very reasonable, but at that time, the King of Wei also cared about it.
No!
"Miracles, really miracles!" "Is this the wonder that the King of Wei is building?" "I can't imagine it!"...
Lu Chengji smiled calmly and said, "Mo Lizhi said he wanted to kill me, so I naturally believe it. But what are the benefits of Mo Lizhi killing me?
The King of Wei did not want the change of the Goguryeo throne to affect the normal trade between Tianjin and Goguryeo, so he suppressed the Tang Dynasty's call for taking the opportunity to attack Goguryeo.
"You said, they want to collect so many ginseng, what do deer antlers do?" Yuan Gaisuwen couldn't help but wonder.
Anyone who enters inside and looks at this scene will be somewhat dazed, as if he is really in a divine realm!
I have to say that this poem is naturally the rescue masterpiece of the King of Wei.
For some reason, they felt really painful from the bottom of their hearts. How much money did they spend!
Li Shimin looked at the Wanxiang Temple covered with rainbow glass in front of him. For some reason, even as the emperor, he could not help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the building in front of him.
"I am the envoy of the King of Wei!" Lu Chengji calmed down, but his demeanor was unafraid of his current demeanor.
"Why should the envoy of the King of Wei say such an angry word!" Yuan Gaisuwen's son Yuan Nan came out to adjust,
"The boy is not very clear!" said Yuan Boy, "but the gift he brought is real, and the King of Wei has been sitting with us in business, so there is no abnormal movement."
To be honest, compared to transparent glass, stained glass is much easier to get. Depending on the addition of different proportions of materials, you can often adjust the color of the glass you want.
Lu Chengji entered the room and looked at the strong man who thought he was burly and thought he was burly.
"As for order!" The boy Yuan replied quickly.
Although the guy in front of him is indeed an abnormal person, behind him is the powerful Tang Dynasty.
For example, the Tang Dynasty purchased ginseng and deer antlers without limit at all. With the Tang Dynasty copper coins, they could easily purchase grain from the Tang Dynasty. This grain was even cheaper than the grain sold by themselves.
It has to be said that this Wanxiang Temple is not only a reflection of Li Tai's efficiency in the corvee service over the years, but more importantly, he has smashed the glass for so many years and has also produced corresponding results.
After the second day, Yuen Gaisuwen really invited Lu Chengji, the trade between the two sides went smoothly and continued.
If a normal civil servant is in power, he will ask any questions when he hears that the other party can deliver food.
I have to say that when glass is combined with architecture, it really blinded everyone's eyes when it first appeared in front of everyone.
But when this self-esteem meets the luxury goods derived from the Tang Dynasty civilization, it is broken completely.
At the beginning, they only listened to how fast and efficient the corvee work under the King of Wei was, but they never noticed any problems.
But now, seeing this huge tent built of linen and bamboo rise up day by day, in less than a year, this Vientiane Temple has been built.
In addition, this top layer was actually built according to the standards of the greenhouse, and even used almost all the transparent glass in Li Tai's hands. What stood out was a transparent but warmth, and it could also plant out-of-season flowers in it.
"Mo Lizhi is willing to see you, just follow me!" The waiter soon informed Lu Chengji.
After Lu Chengji bowed, he proudly followed his servants to the inn to rest first, without saying anything more.
"You are the envoy of the Tang people!" Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Lu Chengji casually and said contemptuously.
Don’t mention that the calligraphy and paintings decorated in this room, the silk on Yuan Gaisuwen’s body, and even the sharp sword in front of him all have the style of the Tang Dynasty, and even came from the Tang Dynasty.
Before we knew it, when passers-by passed by, they couldn't help but look up, wanting to see what the hell was on the top!
Until a few days before the Spring Festival, the weather was very clear. When people passed by this building on this day, they suddenly saw a colorful building that shone into everyone's vision.
This Vientiane Temple was built before the Spring Festival. Its work efficiency day and night, and to be honest, it really scared the important officials of the court who relied on corvee to carry out construction work.
After all, Li Tai built Tianjin and opened a trading port for Goguryeo. This incident may not have much impact on Goguryeo's internal economic structure, but it has a great impact on Goguryeo's upper class.
Although they have always wanted to show their own national self-esteem in Goguryeo.
When the inside of Goguryeo was surging, the inside of the Tang Dynasty was also considered the last winter before the storm came.
The red, orange, yellow, green, green, indigo and purple were arranged in order like a rainbow. Especially when the sun shines, these brilliances became so dazzling.
To be honest, neither Yeon Gaisuwen nor Yeon boys noticed what Lu Chengji said about transporting food.
Lu Chengji said, "If Mo Lizhi does not want to accept the kindness of the King of Wei, please kill me and wait until the war between the two countries begins again!"
"Huh?" Yuan Gaisuwen said with some understanding when he heard the boy Yuan's words.
"I have some understanding of this, why did King Wei not want to cut off the transaction with us, and even have to acquire a large number of acquisitions!
It seems that although the King of Wei is somewhat talented, he is just a hungry ghost in the end.
Therefore, this window is removable, ensuring that a new batch of glass of corresponding colors is replaced every year, making it more transparent and smoother, which is somewhat considered to be a test of the glass process.
However, these colorful glasses can be seen from a distance, but if you look close, the light transmittance is still not enough.
They always feel that if such a building is to be built, they may have to spend tens of thousands of yuan and not to be topped off.
With this five-character poem that shines through the ages and this brilliant building like a rainbow, the poem "Climbing the Palace of All Things" has become the object of discussion throughout Chang'an. Everyone looked up from time to time.
This towering building.
At least for all Tang people, it is naturally indescribable to see such a building appearing in Chang'an City!
But at this moment, Li Chengqian listened to the poem written by Li Tai and looked at the towering buildings, but couldn't help but grit his teeth:
"If you want to see thousands of miles away, you will go up to the next level." "If you want to see thousands of miles away, you will go up to the next level." "If you want to see thousands of miles away, you will go up to the next level."...
"Qingque, you really covet my position as the prince! Then don't blame me for not thinking about my brotherhood!"
