Just as Zhou Yu was hesitating whether to change the condition to 100 kilograms, Lu Dongzan on the opposite side finally couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master Zhou, is this Cordyceps you are talking about really produced in Tubo?"
Zhou Yu: ???
No, has Lu Dongzan really never seen Cordyceps?
Zhou Yu was shocked by Lu Dongzan's inquiring gaze.
When Lu Dongzan first saw that he didn't know what Cordyceps was, he thought it was just a different name between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
But now that Lu Dongzan has seen the photo of Cordyceps, this guy still has the same expression. This makes Zhou Yu wonder whether Tubo has not yet discovered the value of Cordyceps.
If... the Tibetans really don't know the medicinal value of Cordyceps, then wouldn't I be rich?
With this thought in mind, he immediately said in a firm tone, "I've already explained it very clearly. As long as you search according to the conditions I specified, you will definitely find it."
He paused for a moment before adding, "If you can gather enough Cordyceps, you can use it to offset the cost of yaks."
Zhou Yu knew that after hearing these words, Lu Dongzan would definitely be able to guess the value of Cordyceps.
However, compared with yaks, Cordyceps is obviously more valuable.
After all, yaks are not like cattle and buffaloes. They cannot be used for plowing. Their greatest value may be their meat and fur.
If Lu Dongzan could get a large amount of Cordyceps, even if he didn't eat it himself, he could take it to modern times to exchange for money.
Even if it is handled properly, it is not impossible to make a fortune among the wealthy nobles in the Tang Dynasty.
After all, who would refuse a treasure comparable to ginseng!
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou. If Tubo can really find the Cordyceps you need, we will definitely send it to Datang as soon as possible."
Seeing Zhou Yu's confident words, Lu Dongzan immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
As he spoke, he continued as if to show his loyalty, "I wonder if there is anything else in Tubo that Young Master Zhou would be interested in. If there is, I will definitely do my best to help you find it."
"Something else?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he became excited.
The previous transaction was proposed by Lu Dongzan. At that time, I only wanted to cheat him and didn't think much about the compensation.
But if you can choose your own compensation, you have much more room to maneuver.
After all, the least valuable thing in the land of Tubo is probably yaks.
As soon as he thought of this, he patted Lu Dongzan's shoulder warmly and said, "If you're talking about other things, I can think of one. If you can get some Dzi beads, you can use them to exchange for things."
"Dzi beads? What are those?"
When Lu Dongzan heard Zhou Yu say the name of another item, he was both happy and worried.
What made him happy was that with one more item of exchange, Tubo could save more yaks.
What’s worrying is that Zhou Yu casually mentioned another item, which shows that his familiarity with Tubo is much better than his own.
Because he racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what Dzi beads were.
Seeing Lu Dongzan's bewildered expression again, Zhou Yu was stunned again, "No, you haven't heard of Dzi beads either?"
"Please teach me, young master."
Lu Dongzan bowed and saluted with a very humble attitude.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly opened the message and looked through the chat history.
With his current net worth, he often receives invitations to auction events.
This Dzi bead was the item in an auction not long ago.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Yu even searched it online.
You don’t know until you search, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
At that time, he was amazed that such a piece of broken stone could be sold for more than 100 million yuan.
Those who know about it say it is a Buddhist treasure, while those who don’t think it is money laundering.
Zhou Yu was not interested in Bodhi relics, but he was still very interested in being able to exchange them for money.
As Zhou Yu showed Lu Dongzan the photo of the Dzi bead, Lu Dongzan, who was originally envious of his phone, blurted out, "Is this a Sese bead?"
Sese beads?
Could this be the name of Dzi beads in Tubo?
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Dongzan doubtfully, and he said with a pious look on his face, "The Sese Pearl has mysterious magical powers. Wearing it can bring you the protection of the gods and achieve spiritual tranquility and sublimation."
Zhou Yu: ...
All right!
Even the effect of blowing is the same, it seems to be the same thing.
After confirming that Lu Dongzan recognized this thing, Zhou Yu was too lazy to say anything else and immediately said in a firm tone: "Don't worry about whether this thing is called a Dzi Bead or a Sese Bead. As long as you can get it, you can use it to exchange for something else."
"this……"
When Lu Dongzan heard this, hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter? What's the difficulty?"
"Ahem, to be honest, the Sese Pearl is not that easy to find."
Lu Dongzan nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He really wanted to find out whether Zhou Yu was familiar with other items produced in Tubo besides Cordyceps.
After hearing Lu Dongzan say that Dzi beads were simply hard to find, Zhou Yu didn't think much about it and said casually, "As far as I know, this thing is a specialty of your country, Dayangtong, on the plateau. If you really can't find it, just capture them and ask them to help you find it. By the way, I heard that there are quite a few of these things in an ancient ruin in Dayangtong. You can also dig it up."
When Zhou Yu received the invitation before, he also had a general understanding of it.
It is said that Dayangtong Kingdom is the site of the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom.
The Dzi beads produced there are the legendary Zhangzhung Dzi beads.
The value of the Xiangxiong Dzi beads is so great that even Zhou Yu is jealous.
Just hearing him say this, Lu Dongzan's heart was already in turmoil.
Zhou Yu could also obtain information about the growth environment of Cordyceps through intelligence.
The specialties of the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom ruins cannot be explained by simple information.
After all, without long-term and in-depth research on the ruins, there will definitely be no gain.
But now Zhou Yu said it with certainty, so there is only one possibility, that the Tang Dynasty's investigation into Tubo has almost reached the point where it knows everything.
For a moment, Lu Dongzan felt that every hair on his body was trembling.
You know, your status in Tubo is second only to the emperor.
But even Zhou Yu himself didn't know the information he was talking about.
If the Tang Dynasty were to attack Tubo, what chances would Tubo have of winning?
I thought the plateau was a natural barrier for Tubo, but now it seems that this barrier is completely useless in front of the Tang Dynasty.
He even had reason to doubt whether the Tang Dynasty had found a way to deal with altitude sickness.
Otherwise, how could ordinary spies have obtained such detailed information?
