The work of stockpiling grain in Chang 'an City was quietly in full swing.
In the past three days, even if no one in Chang 'an City deliberately publicized the news, it had spread like wildfire!
The price of grain, which was originally ten copper coins per catty, suddenly soared to thirteen copper coins.
And this was the price after the government had banned it. If the government had not intervened, who knew how much the price of this thing would have skyrocketed!
Although Zhang Feng had already stored a large amount of rice and noodles in the small tavern, he could not help but sigh when he saw the sea of people in the rice shop at this time.
"This damned epidemic!"
Then, carrying half a bag of rice and noodles, he sauntered toward the small tavern.
Along the way.
What Zhang Feng saw were all panic-stricken people rushing to grab the rice, and groups of people wearing strange clothes who were rushing to Chang 'an with goods full of astonishment.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng could not help but frown.
These people seemed to have increased a lot in the past few days!
Was the emperor going to make a big move?
Could it be that Lao Li and the others had arranged it?
Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
Zhang Feng squatted in front of a stall as he looked at the teams of cars that returned with full loads of goods and the Western Regioners who were squatting by the side of the street, guarding strange glass bottles or gemstones.
"Honorable customer of the Tang Dynasty, you have good taste!"
"This is a rare gem in the Western Regions. It is very strong and …"
"How much is it?"
Zhang Feng knew about this pink diamond the size of a broad bean. He asked without changing his expression.
He did not expect to see this thing in the Tang Dynasty!
This thing was called a diamond, and in some places, it was also called a diamond. In the future, such a big pink diamond would cost at least six figures!
Secretly suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pretended to be quiet in the stall and looked for other glass products.
No.
In this era, it was called colored glass.
Trash!
All of it was trash.
It was even worse than the defective products produced by a small glass factory in the future!
"Honorable customer, if you really want it, one hundred copper coins … Alas! Honorable customer … Please wait, wait! This … "
Hearing that it was one hundred copper coins.
Zhang Feng turned around and left!
Damn it!
Although it was not expensive, he should not act so arrogantly, right?
He turned around and left.
But before he could take more than two steps, a bearded middle-aged merchant from the Western Regions, who had a serious body odor, grabbed Zhang Feng and mysteriously took out a black diamond from his pocket, as well as three slightly smaller diamonds.
He said with a painful expression, "Honorable customer, I've traveled a long way … One hundred copper coins, these are all yours!"
Seeing that Zhang Feng was about to leave impatiently, the vendor reached out and stuffed the diamond into Zhang Feng's hand.
Zhang Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Deal!"
Under the suspicious expression of the barbarian vendor, he tossed down a hundred copper coins and quickly left.
Damn it!
Fortunately, the people in this world did not know the use of these things!
If they knew, these diamonds would be priceless even if they were worth three hundred taels of gold, let alone one hundred copper coins!
Zhang Feng stared at the pink and black diamonds in his hand. Dozens of plans to make a fortune had already been hatched in his mind.
Everyone loved beauty. If this thing was hyped up, its value would be …
Not only that, Zhang Feng had many other things that needed this thing to be cut.
For example, sunglasses …
After Zhang Feng left, the barbarian man dug out another handful of diamonds from the soles of his shoes and placed them on the shelf again. If Zhang Feng saw this, he would definitely give this unscrupulous merchant a good scolding.
At this time, Zhang Feng happily took a few diamonds and went to the blacksmith shop again. He paid the price of fifty copper coins and asked the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop to polish the five iron kettles he watered until they shone brightly.
This time, he did not have to worry about them robbing him anymore.
He took the pot and wrapped it up. Then, he dragged the recliner and lay down under the crooked tree in front of the tavern again. He listened to the hubbub of people shouting and drinking the wine in the pot with relish.
What a comfortable life!
However, when Zhang Feng closed his eyes, he started to feel puzzled.
At this time, there were many barbarian merchants coming and going in and out of Chang 'an City. This was not normal!
What exactly was abnormal?
Zhang Feng thought carefully in his mind.
In June of the second year of Zhenguan Temple.
It seemed that there were no major events in Chang 'an City.
What was going on?
So many foreign merchants, were they all here to ask for water carts?
That was not necessary, right?
The news about Tubo would not spread so quickly!
Eh?
That was not right!
Zhang Feng seemed to have thought of something.
The fan in his hand suddenly stopped fanning. He could not help but murmur, "Li Yuan's birthday seems to be … Damn it! Who are you?! "
Just as he was about to guess why so many people were here at this time, Zhang Feng suddenly felt a dark shadow and the stench of sweat suddenly enveloped him.
He slowly opened his eyes, only to see a black shadow that was only an inch away from him!
That person just stared at his wine jug with a pair of wide eyes.
Zhang Feng was scared out of his wits.
Zhang Feng's exclamation also scared that person into retreating. Then, he squatted and sat on the ground.
Zhang Feng did not care. He sat up and stared at the person. With a gloomy face, he asked, "Who are you?!"
"…"
