After Lin Jingwan performed the dance, the guests in the store still felt unsatisfied. The guest next to her even fought for her waist of one foot and seven inches or one foot and six inches, making her face red. Zhao Xingde shook his head secretly. The servant Qizhou and eight feet of Changsheng Building cleaned the center of the store. At this time, a famous middle-aged man wearing a purple silk robe and a white jade pendant walked out slowly, and the voice of discussion suddenly weakened. He looked solemn, bowed to the surroundings, and said aloud: "Disturbation, I am the leader of the 38 jade stores in Chang'an, Shangguan Boyu." As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him greeted: "Shangguan Xingshou, be polite." "Shangguan Xingshou, be lucky, be lucky."

Outside Chang'an City is an autonomous region of the Chamber of Commerce, and among the Chamber of Commerce, eight guilds have the greatest influence, namely the eight major guilds in Chang'an, which refer to the silk and cotton cloth shops, gold and silver and bronze shops, jade shops, iron and tin wood shops, spices and gems shops, food and grass shops, money-lending teeth, horses, cattle and alpacas. The eight major guilds and associations are enough to determine the major events in the autonomous region of Chang'an City, which not only affects the entire Guanzhong market, but also has an influence on Shuzhong, Hezhong, and even the Liao and Song markets. Although the court promulgated the "Self-State Laws of the City", the power of the guilds was only weakened. The voices of the eight major guilds in Chang'an even the Prime Minister's Office had to pay attention to the Jade Walk where Shangguan Boyu was located.

, controlling the production of stone ore veins and water veins in the entire Western Regions, Kunlun Mountains and Lantian Mountains. In the Xia Kingdom, Liao Kingdom and Song Kingdom, 80 to 100 jades were sold by 38 jade banks. The 38 jade banks have been well-equipped for generations, and together they maintained the stable rise in the market prices of jade and jade. The so-called gold is priceless. In the Song Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, wealthy merchants were willing to pay hundreds of guan, even thousands of guan, tens of thousands of guan, in order to buy various exquisite jades from major jade banks, they even thought that the more expensive the better, and in the end, they had to ship the jade banks at a fair price to stabilize the skyrocketing market price. In the Chang'an market, as the leader of the 38 jade banks, Shangguan Boyu was a person with great prestige and response.

"Everyone knows that the beauty of jade has five virtues, namely benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and purity. Moisturizing and warming is the way of benevolence; exercising reason from outside, you can know the way of being righteous; its sound is smooth and dedicated to hearing from afar, and wisdom is the way of being wise; indomitable and broken, the way of being brave; sharp and honest but not rude, the way of being clean." Shangguan Boyu's voice was pleasant to the ears, and everyone had already known the five virtues of jade. When he heard the jade's first words say it, his feeling was different from usual, and his voice was gentle and slow," as the saying goes, "As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are close to Zhu, who have already known the five virtues of jade.

Chi, the 38 jade shops in Chang'an can be traced back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They deal with jade every day and also benefited from some jade virtues. Some people believe that the business of this jade is not true, but not trustworthy. The 38 jade shops in Chang'an have been operating jade wares for three or four hundred years. They adhere to the word "sincere" and the word "trust". The jade and jade wares produced are all mineral veins and water veins in Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions and Lantian Mountain in Guanzhong. They have never dared to pretend to be beautiful jade with other variegated stones."

Everyone nodded frequently, but Shangguan Boyu's eyes gradually became sharp and he said in a deep voice: "However, recently some bad vendors have picked some thief stones from the Southern Barbarians to pretend to be jade, carved into tools, showing off their eyes and ears, confusing jade virtues, and corrupting customs. It is really a shame for me to have a jade artifact business." He waved his hand, and the two servants came up with a coffee table, with all kinds of rings, bracelets, pendants and cups crystal clear, with red jade, emerald green ice flowers floating in the floes, and a seductive light flashing under the candlelight in the store.

Zhao Xingde recognized the origin of this stone at a glance, and it was all rare in later generations. He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Boyu in surprise. He saw that his face was as deep as water. He raised his jade pendant with his left hand and picked up an item on the table with his right hand, and slowly said: "Although these things look like beautiful jade, they are actually thief stones. Jade is gentle and restrained like a gentleman, elegant as a lady, and wearing it will nourish people and cure diseases with its warm nature. The thief stone is cold and bright in nature, and it makes people cool and frivolous. It has been worn for a long time, and even

It may be a blessing or death." Shangguan Boyu frowned, as if he was not used to such harsh words and hurt people. He sighed and said, "According to the 'self-observing the law of the market', some people are willing to buy and some are willing to sell, and I can't control them. However, I have been dealing with jade artifacts all my life, but I really don't want people to be blinded by the thief stones. I can't see the jade virtues. Therefore, I spared no effort to collect all the thief stones on the market in Chang'an and destroyed them in public to alert the world to those who are blinded by the thief stones."

"Come!" He waved his hand again, and the two servants carried a basket out and fell on the table without any pity.

"I have invited the nobles from Chang'an to testify, and today I have smashed these thief stones to protect the jade virtue. In the future, I and the thirty-eight jade shops will also write to the Guardian Mansion to ask the court to send troops as soon as possible to attack the southern barbarian thief caves, plow the courtyard to sweep the caves, destroy the thief stone mine veins, and eliminate the harm to the people of the world!" Shangguan Boyu spoke, the servants walked around the table and invited six VIPs from the upstairs. Another servant walked into Chen Qian to invite him to invite him. Chen Qianli apologized to Zhao Xingde, curled his smile, and walked to the middle of the store with a solemn expression. Seven people stood in front of the desk table, and the servants handed the round iron hammers to everyone. The hammers were very large,

The weight was extremely heavy, and eight people, including Chen Qianli, held it with their hands. Some of the guests in the Changsheng Building had known the inside story, but some did not expect to see such a hot scene, with excitement on their faces. Several took out the "thief stone" that Shangguan Boyu said from their pockets, and placed it on the table with contempt. Others secretly put the jade pendants on their waists on their waists, for fear that others would see it. When the male guests stood up, Lin Jingwan, dressed in strong clothes, was invited out of the inner room by the servants, and stood in front of the desk with a frosty mask. When she held the huge hammer in her slender hands, the atmosphere in the store reached a climax.

"Smash--" I don't know who shouted first.

"Smash! Smash! Smash!" Everyone shouted rhythmically. Many guests stretched their necks and stood up a little. They just took out the thief stones and placed them on the table. While shouting "Smash! Smash! Smash!", they held the thief stones in their hands and raised them high, waiting to fall heavily to the ground.

Zhao Xingde was shocked. He knew all the eight people in this row. In addition to Yu Xingxing's head Shangguan Boyu and dancer Lin Jingwan, there were Chang'an civil servant Li Chan, Chang'an regiment Chen Qianli, Chang'an ruan Zhou Longxi, Chang'an Bachelor's Office Deputy Shi Ruan Changling, Chang'an Inquisition, Su Qianren, and Zheng Jianyan, Prime Minister's Office Deputy Shifting Cao Cao. In terms of official qualifications, Chen Qianli is the lowest among the six people behind.

"Please give orders from the Korean government—" Shangguan Boyu gave in. Li Chan nodded slightly and took a breath and said, "Everyone, ready, one-two-three!" He smashed the hammer in his hand heavily, and only a few crisp sounds were heard, and the crystal clear objects were smashed into pieces. After the dignitaries and powerful men smashed them a few times, they put the hammer down. The servants came up. In order to prevent the debris from collapsing, they wrapped all the objects tightly with a tablecloth, put them on the ground, and waved the hammer in public again. Regardless of all, they kept hitting until the original bulging bag turned flat. I guess all the objects inside turned into debris before they stopped.

With the hammer hitting, the excitement of the customers in the store reached the highest point. Everyone celebrated loudly, glad that they had witnessed this rare act of protecting Yude. Chen Qianli patted his hands, bowed to the people around him, and then returned to the seat and smiled at Zhao Xingde, "How about it, is this scene still interesting?"

"Why?" Zhao Xingde said in confusion.

Chen Qianli smiled slightly, raised the teacup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many years the jade vein mines in the Western Regions and Lantian bring to the court every year? Can we exchange how many silk tea and cattle and sheep we will get back every year through the thirty-eight jade stores?" A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, "The Shu Kingdom conquered Annan, and there were many barbarians who had not been used. Just the previous month, the thief stone vein was produced, which not only interfered with the jade market, but also sponsored the rebellion of the southern barbarians. Therefore, today's move was made. Moreover, the thief jade stores were not just smashing thief stones here."

"But," Zhao Xingde hesitated, "Is this okay?"

"Of course," Chen Qianli smiled, "What is jade? Jade has five virtues? Right and wrong are all in the cultural relics. Let me ask you, the world, those who can compete with our Xia Kingdom for cultural relics have no other family except Song Kingdom. However, Song Kingdom itself does not produce jade. The high-ranking officials and powerful people of Song Kingdom have bought a large amount of jade, and it is even more impossible to accept the 'thief stone' of "fish-eyed beads". Liao Kingdom, the barbarians?" He said mockingly, "In this regard, we just follow us and Song Kingdom behind."

At this time, someone next to him said angrily: "When it comes to this thief stone, it was originally worthless. Later, when the merchants of Song State found out, they transported them to the north to deceive the barbarians. They found that this thing was so scammers. After a round trip, they spread to Guanzhong. Where is the Xia State in our country? How can this kind of evil purple and robbery continue?"

Zhao Xingde was stunned for a moment, and Chen Qianli said the truth. Only those who can compete for the romantic cultural relics are Guandong and Guanxi. Although the army of Song State was not strong, the fine brushes, ink, paper and inkstone produced by Song State, cloth with exquisite patterns, tea cakes with complicated processes, and exquisite porcelain were all sold in Xia State. After all, it was the romantic cultural relics that could only influence Guandong's aesthetics and temperament. What Zhao Xingde saw in Liaodong, the Liao and Jurchen vessels were also worthy of, but the people in the Central Plains were despised and could never use them.
