Chapter 256 Rare Glass Beads

The rich businessmen stared wide and stretched their necks. After watching for a long time, they were only dazzled, but they still couldn't tell what kind of rare treasure it was.

An older businessman raised his courage and bowed upwards, "Master, where did this treasure come from?"

Feng Sha said lightly: "This is obtained by a seaguard from an isolated island overseas. The isolated island is far away from the seaguard, thousands of miles away from my great man. According to the natives where they live, this bead is called 'Li Mingzhu', which is very rare. The seaguard has been away for many years and has returned home and is on ashore in Qingdao. He came to see me and presented this bead to the Jin Dynasty. Because he did not know the value of this thing, he would like to ask everyone to come and take a look."

The rich merchants looked at each other and did not dare to estimate the price for it. Finally, they elected a knowledgeable middle-aged jeweler. They walked forward tremblingly, carefully picked up the "Li Mingzhu" and looked at it for a long time. After all, they carefully put it down and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this thing is rare, and the villain has never seen it in his life. If the value of this thing is, I am afraid that even the city of jade may not be as good as it can be. The king must have me estimate the price, but the villain has to say that the actual price of this thing should be more than ten thousand gold!"

Feng Sha nodded slowly, with no joy on his face, and just said calmly: "So that's it."

All the merchants stared at the pearl, and their hearts were full of greed. They wanted to take it for themselves and take it to their homes to enjoy it carefully. But that was the treasure of King Wuwei. How many of them had the brains that dared to ask for it from King Wuwei? They could only take a look at it. Such a rare thing is afraid that they would not see it several times in their lifetime. When they returned home in the future, they could boast about their relatives and friends, saying that they had seen such a priceless treasure.

Feng Sha asked them to sit and have a cup of tea, and casually said that the court's intention to value business, asking them to develop business with confidence and the court will take care of everything.

The merchants were overjoyed and all knelt down and bowed. They were originally of low status, and it was a surprise that they could be valued so much by King Wuwei. What's more, King Wuwei treated them so well and showed them the way to make money. I am afraid that such a wise king has never been there since ancient times.

After sitting there and saying a few words, Feng Sha ordered the servants to send the merchants out. The big merchants kowtowed respectfully before bowing to leave.

Seeing that they left, Feng Sha stood up and slowly retreated back to the hall. He reported that the beautiful maids and servants who were accompanying him were all retreated, leaving only Dian Wei, who followed him closely and walked leisurely in the inner courtyard with him.

Walking in the courtyard, the cool breeze blows on the face, which is very refreshing.

A servant in black came out of the darkness, fell to Fengsha, and kowtowed, "See the Lord! The Lord calls me, what are the instructions?"

Feng Sha said lightly: "The Li Mingzhu transported from Qingdao is handed over to Jia Xu, and asked him to send people to sell them to those merchants. Don't sell them too big, as long as there are big fingers, it's enough, and the value should not be too high. It should be more than 300 gold or less than 2,000 gold. All the money sold is collected by Jia Xu and sent people to various places to purchase grain to serve as the treasury."

The man in black kowtowed and agreed and quietly retreated.

Fengsha stood in the courtyard, letting the cool breeze blow on his face. When he looked back, he saw Dian Wei frowning slightly, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Feng Sha sighed secretly and said calmly: "Dian Wei, do you think my move is not open enough?"

Dian Wei bowed hurriedly and said, "How dare the villain have such a intention!"

Feng Sha shook his head sadly and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be irresponsible. These glass pearls are actually made by me. Although no one has seen them now, they can create a large number of pearls in the future, and the cost is not high. I do this just to get some money in case of an accident."

Dian Wei's eyes were even more shocked, but he didn't dare to say more, and said, "Since the lord did this, it must have a deep meaning. It's just that the villain is foolish and rude, and he doesn't understand the lord's intention."

Feng Sha shook his head and sighed: "Look at what the situation in Qingzhou is now?"

Dian Wei looked happy and said, "It's great! The people live and work in peace and contentment. The government has sent people to organize the people to build roads, build bridges, and build water conservancy. There are so many cloths made by the weaving factory. If this continues, everyone will have new clothes to wear!"

Feng Sha shook his head and sighed, "You don't know. Although it looks good on the surface, there is a great disaster lurking secretly. If we deal with it improperly, half of the people in Qingzhou will die."

Dian Wei was frightened and asked in surprise: "What does the king mean?"

Dian Wei looked at the vast distance and said in a deep voice: "There is not much grain stored in our treasury. Every day, we organize the people to build roads, build bridges, and use labor for relief. We have to spend a lot of money and food. We have to support so many Yellow Turban prisoners, which is increasingly difficult to support. And the next time the wheat is ripe, it is still far away. If this continues, a great famine will break out sooner or later. At that time, thousands of miles of naked land and white bones are everywhere! Those Yellow Turban prisoners who have no food to eat will inevitably cause trouble. Although we have a large army to take care of the prisoner camp, we will be killed until they are hungry and fight to the death, will we kill them all?"

Dian Wei was a person who had seen the famine. When he knew the miserable scene, he was shocked and said in a panic: "King, what should we do?"

Feng Shashu said, "I can only try my best to get some money to buy food from the Qingzhou tribes to resist famine. I have sold a lot of those cloths, but the money I earn is still insufficient. There is no way, I have to use this method to raise money, hoping to exchange for some food and keep it a little longer."

Dian Wei was stunned for a while, and then he realized that his huge body fell to Fengsha and kowtowed heavily, "King, the villain knows the king's painstaking efforts now! The king loves the people as much as his son, and the villain admires him very much. In this life, he will follow the king and share his worries for the king! If the king needs the villain to do, just give in, even if he goes through fire and water, he will not hesitate!"

Feng Sha slowly helped him up and sighed, "This is just a drop in the bucket. The Qingzhou tribe can have how much food can there be? Even if we buy it, we don't know how much food we have to overcome the famine. In order to get more food, I have thought about everything, but it is still too far apart and I don't know what to do."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, with a look of worry on his face.

Dian Wei felt uncomfortable when he saw his lord's worries, and he only hated that he was useless and could not give him worries. Thinking of this, his head couldn't help but droop and he was extremely depressed.

Feng Sha was also slightly sad when he saw his appearance. He cheered up and grabbed Dian Wei's shoulder. He smiled and said, "This is just a temporary matter. As long as you last for a few months, everything will be fine. Come on, I'll take you to see something new. You can get on the horse now and go out of the city with me!"

Dian Wei agreed, cheered up, ran to prepare the horse, and rode out of the city with his lord, and headed all the way to the southeast.

At the edge of the sea, the port in Linzi was extremely lively. Countless fishermen and soldiers were rubbing each other, crowded with people, all standing on tiptoe, looking at the huge merchant ships on the sea.

There were seven or eight of these merchant ships, all of which were extremely huge, as tall as a building, and looked very majestic. The people and soldiers had never seen such a large ship before, and they were stunned.

There were tall masts on the ship, and many sails made of strong and thick cloth, including spinnakers and square sails, which were very large in area. These were all sea boats used for ocean sailing, and the people had never seen them. At this time, they could not help but be amazed when they saw these ships look so strange and majestic, but they were envious and wanted to run to the boat to see what was going on.

There are many sailors on the merchant ships, all of whom are busy working. They are all novices. Although they have been trained for a long time, they are still a little busy after the first time they have actually sailed on the sea.

Many soldiers carried a large amount of cloth, followed the thick wooden boards on the edge of the boat, and took the high-value cloth to the boat. The captain and the first mate in a strange short dress were shouting loudly, the soldiers and sailors were busy running around, and the people watched the excitement from afar, and the entire port was full of lively and busy scenes.

Everyone was busy, or focused on the huge merchant ships. No one noticed that two thousand-mile horses, carrying two tall and strong warriors, rushed from afar, and headed straight to the edge of the harbor.

Dian Wei rode on the BMW rewarded by King Wuwei, and was extremely excited. The horse was so fast that it ran to the beach in such a short time. It was definitely one of the few good horses in the world. I thought that I actually had this legendary treasure, and I was even more grateful to my lord.

On his back, he was carrying the heavy pair of halberds, which were black and shiny, with only the halberd blades sharply, emitting a burst of cold light in the sun.

Another warrior also carried a pair of halberds on his back, but it was silver-white and looked very heroic.

He raised his handsome face and star-like eyes looked at the captains, mates, and sailors on the merchant ships, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The clothes of those captains and first mates were really strange in this era, and they were actually designed as European sailor suits of the Age of Discovery, which looked very strange.
