"What is this?"
Su Dawei looked at the things in his hand and wondered."
It's a good thing, a treasure!"
Hu Shangsmoer rubbed his hands, his face was full of excitement, and introduced Su Dawei with great interest: "I have a Persian brother who runs a pawnshop business in Chang'an, and he quietly told me that he recently received this treasure, and when he knew about it, he immediately spent a lot of money to buy it. ”Speaking of this, Smoer licked his lips, leaned closer, and said in a low, pretending to be mysterious voice: "I heard that this thing is called the sleepwalking fairy pillow, and it is a favorite thing of Taizong before his death. ”Su Dawei's hands trembled when he said this, and he almost didn't drop the jade pillow in his hand.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, hugged the jade pillow tightly, and glared: "What do you say this is called?"
”"Sleepwalking fairy pillow."
Smaller wondered, "Ami, have you heard of it?"
”"Immortal pillow, you are big, if this is really a Taizong thing, it should be a Jinbao Divine Pillow!"
Su Dawei complained and looked down at the jade pillow in his hand.It is made of gold and jade inlay, and the treasure pillow made by Tang is one foot square, and there is no peculiarity in the appearance.But this jade, it's a good jade, the tentacles are warm, and the inlaid gold wires form gorgeous lines, which looks really high-grade.Is this really Taizong's treasure pillow?
The problem is that the treasure pillow was not begged to go by Princess Gao Yang at that time, and later Gao Yang gave it to the debate machine, but the result is that a thief stole the treasure pillow from the debate machine, and finally the case was reported and the debate machine was confessed.This caused Taizong to be furious, and finally cut the debate in half.Su Dawei still has some vague impressions in this case, when he was just a bad person, there was indeed a period of time when the nobles of Chang'an stole a lot of treasures, all of which were used by the royal family.However, this treasure pillow should have been returned to Princess Gaoyang later, how could it be left out?
Su Dawei looked at the pillow in his hand and asked Smaller, "You really bought this from a pawnshop friend?"
”"It's more real than pearls!"
Smaller hit the sky and shouted: "Don't you know me, Brother Ami, I won't do anything illegal in Chang'an, my friend will occasionally receive some good things, and then sell them through us, some Chang'an nobles sometimes take something out to sell ......"
Su Dawei nodded and did not continue to ask.First of all, we have to determine whether this thing is really Taizong's golden treasure divine pillow, and then talk about anything else."
Put this pillow here for me first, I'll ask a friend who understands.""
Hehe, that's what it originally meant, you help me ask, if you want it, I'll give you a preferential price when you go back."
Small's eyes flashed, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he had seen countless gold coins rolling in."
Get out."
Su Dawei scolded angrily.He is now in the shop in Rong Xiaojiao, West City, for most of the year, this whale oil lamp shop has become a star industry in West City, and the business should not be too hot.The use of whale oil to make lamps, originally in the Qin and Han dynasties, especially in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, used this thing to make everlasting lamps, it is said that the lamps burn for a long time.But by the time of the Tang Dynasty, this craft had been nearly lost.Su Dawei heard Small mention the giant whale at that time, remembered it, waited for Small to transport the whale oil back last year, and found Rong Xiaojiao, a wax craftsman, and finally came up with a qualified finished product after several process improvements."
Alright, let's talk about the latest business."
Su Dawei temporarily put aside the matter of the treasure pillow and said to Smoker.In front of the table, in addition to him and Small, opposite is the lion Su Qingjie, on the left hand is Yu Chi Baolin, and the tall dragon is sitting a little farther away.This shop is now mainly presided over by Gao Dalong, and Rong Xiaojiao's lantern-making skills are okay, but when it comes to doing business, the horse can't catch up with Gao Dalong.When it comes to business, Small's shrewd Hu Shang's eyes narrow.He stroked his curly beard in one hand, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "The business of this lamp is excellent, from Chang'an, as far as Anxi, to Persian food, all of them love our oil lamp."
It's clean, bright, and smoke-free, and it's not easily blown out by the wind. ”Speaking of this, he couldn't help but step forward and give Su Dawei a warm hug: "My Ami brother, how did you think at the time, is it the wisdom of God to make this kind of lamp from this fish oil that no one wants?"
”"Stay away from me, you eat mutton at noon, right?
A smell of smell!
”Su Dawei pushed the bearded Small away with a look of disgust: "So, there is no problem in opening the trade routes of Persia and even Dashi?"
”"No problem, absolutely no problem."
Small stroked his beard with his index finger and thumb, and boasted with a stinky face: "Chang'an has you and your friends open the door, and when you come to rest, all the way are my friends and connections, as soon as this kind of lamp comes out, it will be sold out, it is like grabbing money." ”Speaking of this, he whispered, "This is it......
Can the number be increased?
”"I think it's going to have to be busy with Rong Xiaojiao."
Su Dawei glanced at the back, at this time, Rong Xiaojiao was probably still locked in a small black room with his apprentice, and he was making oil lamps day and night.It is not so simple to make a qualified whale oil lamp.First of all, the oil must be purified.At this point, Su Dawei put forward the idea and let Rong Xiaojiao succeed by trial and error.Secondly, the wick is also very particular.The oil burned by the oil lamps in the past of the Tang Dynasty was impure, easy to extinguish, and easy to smoke.Often when the oil lamp is lit at home, a puff of black smoke rises straight up.Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, a gooseneck-style lantern was commonly used in the court.The smoke from the lamp is inhaled into the belly of the goose, filtered by water, and purified.But that kind of lamp, because of the construction problem, the light will be partially blocked, not as bright as the whale oil lamp that Su Da launched for them.Small also understood Su Dawei's difficulties: "There is a shortage of manpower, do you want us to recruit more people?"
”"Nope."
Su Qingjie, who had not spoken on the side, said: "Do you know how many people have entrusted their relationship recently, and they want to get a piece of the pie openly and secretly?"
In the hands of the people recruited before, there were also people who did not know where to come, and it was not easy to get rid of them. ”Yu Chi Baolin also nodded and said, "Money is moving." ”Saying that, he was a little worried: "The business is too good, I'm afraid of being targeted by hungry wolves." ”"Don't worry, as long as the technology doesn't leak, don't worry about anything else."
Su Dawei said disapprerovitically: "We still have Danyang County Duke in this business." ”Everyone chuckled when they said this.Think about it, don't look at the oil lamp business has just started on the road, but Su Dawei has his hands and eyes, and he has already brought in the Danyang County Prince, the An family, the Cheng family, the Su family and the Wei Chi family, so many nobles are together, whoever wants to move this interest has to weigh it.Through this business, the initial investment of each company has been rewarded.And in the foreseeable future, this business will bring more benefits to everyone."
I have an idea to improve our whale oil lamp yield."
Su Dawei said: "Do you know where there are good glass craftsmen?
”For Su Dawei's whimsical ideas, everyone is used to it.Although he didn't understand what he wanted the glaze craftsman to do, he still thought about it, and Yu Chi Baolin said: "I have a relative in my family who makes glass, and I'll help you ask when I go back." ”"Okay.""
That's right, Brother Ami."
Small looked speechless and stopped."
What's wrong?"
Su Dawei pointed to the treasure pillow: "Don't worry, I asked you to return this thing, if I want it, I will pay it in full." ”"Not this thing."
Small waved his hand and said: "The caravan that came back last time told me a piece of news, it seems that there is a dispute between Su Shen and Susan over there over the water source, and there may be a fight, and I am afraid that it will affect the trade route." ”Su Dawei frowned: "If it really affects the trade route, the Western Regions will stop for a while, anyway, there is no hurry, just the market in Datang is not enough for our lights." ”"Not that problem.""
I'm worried that whale oil won't be easy to bring in when it's poured. ”These words made Su Dawei suddenly vigilant."
We have enough oil in stock, but if the oil from there can't be brought in, it will be a trouble.""
Whale oil, I have a solution."
Yu Chi Baolin said with a smile: "If you want to find whale oil, you don't have to rely on the Persian side. ”"How?"

Everyone's eyes swept over.Yu Chi Baolin patted her ass and stood up: "Ami, how did you forget, in fact, there are big fish in the East China Sea." ”Hey?
Such a reminder, Su Dawei remembered.I remember seeing it before, Qin Shi Huang begged for immortals and sent Fangshi to the sea.As a result, Fang Shi Xu Fu thought that there were big fish in the East China Sea, and he couldn't act because of the obstacles, so he returned empty-handed for the first time.In a hurry, Qin Shi Huang personally led people to rush to the Jiaodong Peninsula, one for Mount Tai to seal the Zen, by the way to the East China Sea, but also personally used the ship's bed crossbow to shoot the big fish.The big fish is naturally the whale."
I actually forgot about that."
Su Dawei patted his head: "The East China Sea, as well as the coast of the Wa Kingdom, should be able to catch whales." ”"I'll leave this to me, I have some friends over there."
Yu Chi Baolin patted her chest and took it over.This time, it was Small's turn to look bad.It just occurred to him that if the Ami brothers could get whale oil elsewhere, they would undoubtedly be much less important to the business.But the matter has come to this point, and we can only blame the rest of the trade route is not smooth, what else can be done.Smoer had a bitter face, and he regretted it in his heart, and he didn't even notice that Su Dawei was holding the treasure pillow and going out with Su Qingjie.()
