"What treasure is worth a million strings of strings?”
After returning to Qin Manor, Old Qin couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
As the Duke of the Great Tang, he had seen a lot, but he had never heard of anything worth a million strings.
"It's a pearl." Qin Mo smiled.
According to the price of rice, one yuan in the future could be converted into one coin in the Great Tang.
That glass orb was only worth twenty copper coins.
Using twenty copper coins to exchange for a million strings of grain was definitely bullying the country bumpkins of this time and space who had not seen the world.
Of course, if he wanted to buy it with copper coins, he would have to be exploited by Taobao. He would need to use 2,000 copper coins, which was two strings.
" Even if your pearl is worth a million strings, Lin Yi might not be willing to sell you so much food. If the money that Duke Zhao and the others have gathered is spent, it would be like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.”
They didn't gather more people. Other than to avoid leaking the news, the more important reason was that they definitely couldn't spend all the money they had gathered.
Qin Mo smiled and said," We are different. The king of Linyi will definitely give me millions of dollars worth of food, even if it means plundering the country.”
Dragon Ball! Suppressing fate and becoming the ruler of the world, which ruler could resist this temptation?
Old Qin became even more curious when he heard that." What kind of pearl is it that has such great temptation?"”
Qin Mo smiled." Dragon Pearl."
"What?"
Old Qin's hand trembled, and the tea in the teacup spilled out. The cup fell to the ground and shattered. The boiling hot tea burned his hand until it was red, but he didn't notice it.
Dragons were creatures that only existed in legends. Qin Mo actually said that he had a dragon pearl, which shocked Old Qin.
"Brat, the Dragon Pearl is a supreme treasure that only His Majesty can use. How can you use it to exchange for food?”Old Qin scolded.
The dragon was something that only the royal family could use. Qin Mo's possession of it was against the laws of the Great Tang, let alone exchanging it for something.
"The Dragon Ball should be presented to His Majesty." Old Qin said," We have already offended the aristocratic families regarding the movable type printing technique. Although they have been chasing after Duke Zhao, if they know that we have the dragon ball and are not offering it to the court, they will definitely say that the Qin family has the intention to rebel. Even if His Majesty doesn't believe it, we will be in a terrible position.”
Because the old man was the one who took the lead in the movable type printing matter, the aristocratic families did not pursue Old Qin, Old Cheng, and Old Foolish Yuchi. However, it did not mean that the aristocratic families did not have hostility towards them. If they seized the opportunity, they would still pester them endlessly.
After listening to Old Qin, Qin Mo finally understood the seriousness of the matter. If he was used by the aristocratic families, even if he was doing things for the court out of kindness, he would still get into trouble.
"Clan uncle's words are reasonable.”After all, he was a person of the later generations. He did not have much respect for the feudal imperial power and almost made a big mistake.
Li Er wouldn't believe that a child like him would rebel. At most, he would break the rules.
However, it was imperative to exchange the Dragon Ball for food, but he had to get Li Er's support.
So he said," I'll go see His Majesty now and tell him the key points.”
He knew that the Dragon Ball was a worthless glass bead, but others did not know. He had to explain it to Li Er to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Old Qin nodded." Then I'll go with the token."”
It was already afternoon and the sun would set soon.
Chang 'an City had a curfew after sunset. If one walked on the street after sunset, they would be caught and spanked.
Unless he had a special pass, and Old Qin was big and happened to have a special pass.
Li Main Hall.
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun were chatting.
Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi were practicing calligraphy at the side while the little fatty Li Tai was reading a book.
"Guanyin maid, that Qin Mo brat is truly audacious. He actually dared to tear down King Qin's mansion.”Li Er recounted what he had seen and heard in King Qin's Mansion.
"This child is so bold. Did Second Brother punish him?”Empress Zhangsun frowned. She had many memories of King Qin's Residence. When Li Er had given King Qin's Residence to Qin Mo as the academy's residence, she was still puzzled.
Li Er said," When I saw him get someone to tear down my King Qin's mansion, I was furious and wanted him to beat him up. Who knew that the kid said he was helping the king, so I let him off this time.”
"Second Brother spoils him too much." Empress Zhangsun said angrily.
However, Li Er said," No. Qin Mo invented cement. He said that this material is as hard as iron and stone and can be used to build a city quickly. If this material is used on the grasslands, it will definitely solve the problem of the Central Plains."”
Empress Zhangsun smiled." So Second Brother believed him?”
Li Er said," He made an appointment with me for ten days. If it's really as he said, I naturally won't pursue it. If he dared to lie to me, I would make his butt explode.”
When Li Lizhi, who was practicing her calligraphy, heard Li Er say that he wanted to hit Qin Mo, she put aside her anger and ran over." Father, can you not hit Qin Dalang? He's just sharing your worries."”
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun looked at each other and sighed. This daughter was hopeless.
As he was speaking, a eunuch suddenly came to report," Your Majesty, Qin Mo requests an audience and is waiting outside the palace.”
"We were just talking about this kid." Li Er smiled." Call him in."
A moment later, Qin Mo came in and bowed to Li Er and Empress Zhangsun.
"Qin Dalang, long time no see." Li Lizhi smiled sweetly.
"Your Highness, I brought you a little toy.”Qin Mo gave a small toy to Li Lizhi, which made her so happy that her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Humph!" Li Er snorted coldly." Qin Mo, you came to the palace just to abduct my daughter?”
"Why do you say that, Your Majesty? I have something important to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Li Er asked.
"Your Majesty, take a look at something first." Qin Mo took out the Dragon Ball he had bought from Taobao.
Li Eryi looked at it and exclaimed," What is this? There's actually a dragon inside."
"Dragon Ball." Qin Mo said.
"Dragon Ball!" Li Er's eyes widened." Is there really a true dragon in this world?”
"No, I haven't." Qin Mo rolled his eyes.
"No True Dragon? How did you get this dragon pearl?" Li Er asked.
Qin Mo said," It's just a glass bead made by a craftsman.”
Hearing that it was only a glass bead made by a craftsman, Li Er's interest was greatly reduced." You came to the palace just to let me see the glass bead made by a craftsman like you?”
Qin Mo said," I want to use this Dragon Ball to exchange for some food from Lin Yi.”
"How much food can this thing be exchanged for?" Since it wasn't a real dragon pearl, although it was exquisite, its value must be limited. It was worth at most a few thousand strings.
Qin Mo said," A million strings of grain."
"A million strings of grain?" Li Er shouted," Who's willing to trade with you?”
"King of Linyi." Qin Mo said confidently.
Li Er said," That King of Lin Yi isn't a fool. Why would he exchange a million strings of grain with you?”
"What if I say that this is a dragon pearl that can suppress the fate of a country and become the ruler of the world? King Lin Yi didn't know that this dragon pearl was just a glass pearl.”
Li Er sucked in a breath of cold air. What Qin Mo said seemed feasible. If someone gave him a dragon pearl that could suppress fate, he was willing to exchange it for a million strings.
"There's a possibility of success."
"I came to see Your Majesty because I want Your Majesty to endorse me, lest those trolls find out and bite me.”Qin Mo revealed his intentions.
Li Er said," Go ahead and do it. If there's anything, I'll shoulder it for you."”
He picked up the Dragon Ball and praised," You can earn hundreds of times more with just a resell. It's really good stuff."”
Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, this dragon pearl only costs 20 copper coins. You can have as many as you want.”
"What is it? Twenty coins!" Li Er was dumbfounded." You want to exchange something that costs twenty wen for a million strings of grain?”
"That's right!" Qin Mo nodded.
Empress Zhangsun's almond eyes were also wide open. Using an item that cost twenty wen to exchange for a million strings of strings was simply insane.
