Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 372 Strategy

Is the grandson Chong stupid?
of course not!
It's just that his jealousy towards Fang Jun has reached a level that makes him blind, as long as Fang Jun is involved, he will lose his mind!

For a long time, Changsun Chong has been the No. 1 among the second generation of nobles who are highly praised by everyone.When this kind of praise is accompanied by the whole time of childhood and youth, no matter how introverted and humble a person is, it is inevitable that they will be born with pride and conceit.

Life goes smoothly, and it is inevitable to be psychologically fragile...

Such a person, when encountering a major setback, will either be devastated or go to extremes.

Unfortunately, Chang Sun Chong belongs to the latter.

Then, when the stupefied Fang Jun suddenly appeared and burst into shining brilliance, Chang Sun Chong was inevitably jealous.

Skillful in making money, peerless in literary talent, staunch and tough...

This mallet, which was originally like a loach in the mud, suddenly exuded a dazzling brilliance, attracting everyone's attention, and firmly overwhelmed the eldest grandson!
He acted recklessly and had a bad temper, but everyone said he was a real man, a good man!
real man?
This is what Chang Sun Chong can't stand the most!

Is Lao Tzu like a girl?
The article "Ai Lian Shuo" written by Fang Jun while drunk caused rumors to spread in Guanzhong, and it was passed as a joke for a while, but his wife, Princess Changle, whose reputation was damaged in this incident, always looked like a cloud. Chang Sun Chong couldn't take it anymore with the light breeze that didn't linger in his arms!

Jealousy is like a bug, gnawing at his heart crazily, and he is completely paralyzed...

Therefore, I would rather collude with the Turks than put Fang Jun to death!
It seems that only when Fang Jun dies so badly can he get some kind of relief.

If Fang Jun knew Chang Sun Chong's psychology, he might be able to sum up his situation with a very modern sentence - you have sold your soul to the devil...

************
Gaochang is also known as "Fire Island". There is a mountain in the east that is red all the year round. The locals call it "Kiziltag", and the Han people gave him a very domineering name - Flame Mountain...

September is still sweating, and the hot wind blows sand.What is the work of yin and yang, do not send rain and snow.

Gaochang is very hot, of course it has nothing to do with the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.

This place is far away from the ocean, and the humid ocean air mass cannot enter it. Its terrain is too low, and the height ratio between the mountain and the basin is too large in a short distance.

It is generally difficult for people in the Central Plains to adapt to such a sweltering environment. The only thing they like about this environment is that the fruits are very sweet...

It was impossible to stay in the room. Even though the foundation of the Gaochang Palace was very high, Fang Jun felt that it was probably because it was closer to the sun, and it seemed to be getting more and more stuffy...

The place where he spends most of his time is under the vine.

Grape vines with cracked bark hover over the shelf above the head, and the fine leaves block the dazzling sunlight. The floor is covered with exquisitely patterned and well-crafted Hetian blankets, and they lean cross-legged on a jade pillow. Slender fingers like spring onions picked up a grape grain and put it into his mouth, biting it lightly, the sweet juice filled his mouth...

When the local rich and powerful businessmen of Gaochang Kingdom came to visit His Excellency Xinxianghou, they saw such a luxurious scene.

When the maid from Kucha reached into a misty clay pot next to her again, there was a rattling sound, and she picked off a glistening grape, everyone was a little dazed. Could it be that the pot contained the legendary... block?

Fang Jun ate a grape beautifully. Seeing this group of businessmen who had been trekking through wind and sand all year round were staring at the clay pot in his hand, he chuckled and said casually: "It's too hot, pour everyone a glass of wine."

The maid took out two porcelain jars from the wooden box on one side, and took out eight crystal clear goblets according to the number of guests, poured half of the amber wine in the porcelain jars, and finally stretched out her jade hand, Jun picked out crystal clear ice cubes from the clay pot beside Jun, put a few pieces in each cup, and put them one by one in front of everyone with a smile on his face.

It is a well-known fact that Gaochang is rich.These eight high-ranking officials and merchants included not only the original prime ministers and generals of Gaochang Kingdom, but also representatives of aristocratic families. All of them were billionaires, extravagant and wealthy.

But looking at this crystal clear glass wine glass as thin as cicada's wings, none of them dared to reach out to take it. Is this the legendary glass produced by Datang?

It's so beautiful!

I'm afraid this cup is worth tens of millions, right?
So delicate, so clear, so wonderful!This kind of wine glass should only be hidden in a wooden box as a family heirloom, how can you be willing to take it out for drinking?
Of course, no matter how delicate and precious a wine glass is, it is also a valuable item. Although it is rare and expensive, as long as you have money and are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to buy it.

But the crystal clear ice cubes in the wine glass really frightened the wealthy businessmen!
where is this place?
Gao Changguo!
With a radius of thousands of miles, the desert is vertical and horizontal, and it is as hot as a furnace!
There are only a few days of ice in a year, and it's just a thin layer of ice on the water!
So here comes the question, in this hot summer season, it is impossible to have ice locally, where does this ice come from?
Everyone is from the upper class of the Gaochang Kingdom, and has a lot of experience. Naturally, they know that Guanzhong has the habit of storing ice in winter, but the ice cubes are transported from Guanzhong to this Gaochang Kingdom...

"hiss--"

Several people breathed a sigh of relief when they came here, and looked at each other, and they all saw the amazement in each other's eyes!

How much manpower and material resources would it take to transport a mere block of ice to Gaochang in this scorching summer?

This small piece of ice is ten times more expensive than gold of its weight!
This is the Marquis of Datang, the extravagant daily life?Even in this Gaochang country, do you want to pursue such a noble enjoyment?
Shocked!

In the past, when Ju Wentai was alive, he was proud and conceited, calling himself the king of the Western Regions. Except for the Turkic people, he never put Datang in his eyes.Everyone also felt that it seemed that the Han people outside the Yumen Pass in the distance were just a group of farmers who relied on their ancestors to occupy the great mountains and rivers, and could eat and drink all day long...

Everyone has done business with Datang, and the contacts are also businessmen, but the social status of businessmen in Datang is too low, so they only have a half-knowledge about the real upper class of Datang, and they only hear hearsay.

Now, it can be regarded as a real experience of what kind of level the upper class of Datang is.

It's just too luxurious, too much...

How did Fang Jun know that a small piece of ice could make these very influential figures in Gaochang Kingdom astonished by him?
If he had known this earlier, he would have frozen all these people with ice without hesitation, scaring you to death...

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you have summoned me to come, what is your order?"

Ju Wendou, the prime minister of Gaochang Kingdom, asked cautiously. He swallowed the wine chilled by ice cubes in front of him, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of this noble Marquis. At least he had to figure it out. Only after you come here can you enjoy these "rare" ice cubes with peace of mind.

It's just a different prayer in my heart, ice cube, you have to slow down...

Fang Jun smiled, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and said with a pleasant face: "It's not too late to talk about it later, this iced wine is the most refreshing drink in summer, everyone, hurry up and try it."

"promise!"

Several people responded, raised their glasses together, and took a sip.

The crystal ice cubes swayed in the amber liquid and collided with the glass, the glass as thin as cicada's wings made a jingle sound, the liquid entered the throat, and a refreshing coolness entered the stomach, and the heat was all over the body. One scattered.

Refreshing!

Several big shots in Gaochang Kingdom let out a long sigh of relief. This feeling is so refreshing!
If in the scorching summer, there are these ice cubes to hold fine wine every day, wouldn't it be like living like a fairy?
Can't help but take another sip...it feels just as refreshing as before!

Tsk tsk, but his expression suddenly stopped!
Just now, I just focused all my attention on experiencing the coolness, but I somewhat ignored the taste of the wine.

At this moment, the mellow taste appeared in the mouth, which made several people stunned.

This wine... tastes so good!
