"It's okay, I don't think it's cliché."
This system really doesn't even give a hint. Is this thing really that valuable?
"Chen Aiqing, what on earth is the use of this thing?"
He was silent and evasive, and in the end he only managed to piece together a bunch of sentences, most of which were high-sounding but completely useless.
"Your Majesty, such things were usually found in the previous dynasty. He used a precious kind of jade passed down from the past, and the edges were made of powdered rhinoceros horn."
There was once a record in the "Book of Jin": "Qiao returned to Wuchang. When he reached Niuzhuji, the water was unfathomable. People said there were many monsters under the water. Qiao then lit a rhinoceros horn to shine it. In a moment, he saw aquatic creatures with strange shapes and appearances emerge from the water.
That night he dreamed of someone saying to him, "I bid you farewell in the living and the dead, and we will see each other again."
The general idea is that the ancient Chinese burned rhinoceros horns and used the light emitted to illuminate gods and monsters.
"Can this thing see gods and ghosts?"
"Your Majesty, the legend about this thing is probably true, but no one has truly confirmed it. Although there are sacrifices to this thing every year, the ghost story is also not completely confirmed."
Something that has not been confirmed.
"Burning rhino horns, seeing the light and smelling the scent, is said to induce hallucinations and allow one to see ghosts."
So if Zhao Xin clicked on this thing, and saw the original owner's soul floating behind him... wouldn't he be scared silly?
“…”
"Your Majesty, this thing is recorded in all the records of the previous dynasty as a rough jade from the previous dynasty. When it is used, it can turn stone into gold. If it is used, it can gain divine power to ward off evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits."
The unpolished jade of the previous dynasty, who could turn stone into gold, possessed the ability to do so even now. But perhaps it wasn't. So he made a quick decision and looked at Chen Mang.
"How do you use this so-called Midas Touch? How do you enlighten the universe? If it really existed, wouldn't it be a lucrative business? So, do you know?"
Chen Mang had mentioned before that there was a function that could turn stone into gold, but half of what he said was just a lie. Because nowadays, where can there be such a magical thing that can turn stone into gold and create good fortune?
Items like these were usually either mortal or legendary. And magical rings and storage spaces were even more exclusive to fantasy. They were only cultivating mortal luck and cultivation, so naturally, they couldn't touch such a magnificent object.
"Your Majesty's ability to turn stone into gold is just a legend, and your rhinoceros horn's ability to see ghosts is also a legend. Your Majesty, do you understand what I mean?"
Xin Zhao smiled.
"So you just want to use these two legends in exchange for me sending people to Tianshan to take the risk and seize the Tianshan Grass, or to use the Tianshan Grass to face the targeting of the ten major families, right?"
"You also know that I never do business at a loss. This kind of business will not benefit me in any way, even if I appreciate you."
In the last sentence he didn't even use "朕", but "我".
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Xin really did not let go of his grudge against him, so situations like this are generally not allowed.
"His Majesty--"
Chen Mang even wanted to explain, but the unpolished jade from the previous dynasty he held was of no value. After all, he knew that even though it was acquired from the ten great families, if it was truly valuable, that group of people would not give it to him.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being rude."
"That's fine. If they want to investigate me, let them do it. As for the Tianshan grass incident, it's mainly because someone secretly paid tribute to me with a certain flower, but the person who paid the tribute was definitely not the group of elders on Tianshan Mountain.
After all, the relationship did not reach.
The herb sent to me was intended to be exchanged with you. In that case, you give me the unpolished jade from the previous dynasty, and I will give you this Tianshan herb."
"As for that Tianshan grass, you have to ask the other party to find special items to pack it up. After all, it will die if it gets cold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What's there to thank me for? After all, we're old acquaintances. I appreciate you, so it's only natural for me to help you with any difficulties you encounter. I also hope that you can remember your original intention and continue to serve me. Don't tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. This will easily waste my patience."
"…yes."
Chen Mang placed the unpolished jade from the previous dynasty in a wooden box and placed it on Zhao Xin's desk before leaving. Ultimately, the Zhu family would have to resolve the issue themselves.
After all, if this thing is taken out directly, the medicinal properties will be gone at any time and there will be no effect. Then it will be useless.
Therefore, Zhao Xin also reminded him as early as possible, just in case he took back a bunch of useless grass. Wouldn’t that hurt himself and others, and would be a waste of the herbs?
Chen Mang returned to the library with his toolbox. Zhao Xin was afraid that he would be cold, so he talked to his subordinates and asked them to move some charcoal braziers to the hall to prevent Chen Mang from freezing to death in the cold attic.
After all, Chen Mang might be the fuse that connected him with the Zhu family.
Nowadays, various systems have been perfected, such as printing and greenhouse manufacturing. All of them have been printed with his royal label.
The market demand for these things is also huge, and the most popular thing is that they have been sought after and praised by a lot of people since they were first launched. The implication is that Your Majesty can carry forward this thing and infiltrate other vassal states in the country for use.
Zhao Xin wasn't stupid. If this thing leaked to outsiders, wouldn't that mean he'd lose another pot of gold? Although this thing wasn't worth much, he didn't want to reveal such a secret to others. After all, thinking doesn't cost money, and he had painstakingly spent hundreds of Luck Points to obtain the book.
So after much consideration, he chose to focus on development in his economic areas.
Otherwise, it is impossible to infiltrate this power into many areas, unless you buy it with money, but what you never expected is that the money will just roll in.
A group of people came here with many boxes, hoping to extract their technology. Zhao Xin also smelled a business opportunity and clearly marked the price, quickly raising the price, which could be regarded as driving up prices in the chaos.
But this stuff is quite effective for those wealthy businessmen. When they heard the price increase, they thought it was a good thing, so they bought it...
Otherwise, people like these are all cheap bastards. Otherwise, even if the price of this item is raised to several boxes of gold and silver, there will still be people who buy it. Aren’t they just being taken advantage of?
In order to publicize his kingly nature, Zhao Xin also gave away some engraved items, such as patterns engraved on specific stones, which were exactly the patterns of his Great Qin built on them. The display was no different from the original picture, and his customers were very happy with it. They used it to publicize it to many countries.
However, many of the things they promoted to him were precisely those of his Great Qin. This could be considered as propaganda for his Great Qin from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Xin smelled a business opportunity, so he decided to make things more exciting.
