Dugu Xin was indeed generous in his actions, and he sent a whole of five cars of gifts at once, but the quantity was not the key, the key was the quality.
There are 200 pieces of fabric, of which 100 are ordinary plain silk, which can be used directly for expenses. It is worth it, but Li Tai doesn’t think much of it now.
One hundred other pieces are half of jacquard brocade, with complex and symmetrical colors. The other half is dyed silk, purple, black and blue, and it is piled up in colorful colors.
Both of these are high-end fabrics and are not commonly seen on the market, especially brocade.
At present, Shuzhong is not within the sphere of influence of the Western Wei Dynasty. Although Guanxi also has a certain output, it is mainly used to lose to officials and imperial use.
The weaving process of brocade is too cumbersome and complicated. In order to ensure that the limited weaving productivity is not wasted on this luxury goods, it was even listed as a forbidden product in the early years of the Great Commission and was not allowed to be weaved and sold by the people.
In recent years, regulation has been relaxed, but the output is still limited, and the black market price of a good brocade can even reach the level of dozens of silk.
Although tins are not as precious as brocade, they need double the cost of textiles with double warp and double wefts. If manual techniques, dyeing and other processes are added, a tins can also be exchanged for several pieces of silk.
The crimson robe that even Li Tai was ashamed of wearing a sexy bag was sewn with silk cut. Although the textile industry in Litaizhuang Shang is developing rapidly, it still cannot produce silk products. One is that the weaving women cannot achieve manual labor and materials, and the other is unwilling to do so.
Just these hundred pieces of brocade and silk are worth one or two thousand pieces of silk, and this is just one of the gifts.
Next, there were 100 pieces of lacquerware of various shapes and uses, and they contained several large boxes. Each piece is very exquisite and looks very valuable. It’s a pity that Li Tai and his team were not very knowledgeable and were not good at evaluating the specific value of these lacquerware.
Thirty pieces of gold and silver utensils include ornaments, Buddha statues of different shapes, and even daily necessities such as gold cups and jindangs. Li Tai didn’t know if using these things to eat was considered over the rules, but since Dugu’s letter dared to deliver it, it was expected that the problem would not be big.
He was still very unwilling to ask someone to weigh these gold and silverware, weighing more than 200 kilograms. Even if there is a blanket pressure scale inside, this batch of precious metals is really valuable.
In addition, there are also a dozen of various utensils made of pearls, jade, gems, rhinoceros horns, feathers and animal skins. Although it is not suitable for food and clothing, it all looks very expensive.
Li Tai also searched inside to see if he could find one or two pieces of coal, and then he dug a thirty-two-sided seal for himself in the future, but he couldn’t find it.
In addition to these fabrics and utensils, there are also some spices and condiments, mainly commodities in the Silk Road trade.
Five dou of pepper and two dou of sugar. Of course, sugar is not called sugar or Shimi. These two are just a little straight.
He has not eaten pepper and sugar, but the meaning of these two things is completely different in the present and later generations, and the value is judged by the mud.
In particular, pepper is not a condiment at all in this era, but a very precious medicinal material. The function of pepper is to qi is of great significance in the Middle Ages when qi is frequent.
The Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty gave Hebasheng half a dou of pepper at the beginning of the year, which was ground into powder and filled with jade boxes. Usually, they had to be measured with a small silver spoon, which was not much larger than an ear-clearing spoon.
As for sugar, it should be something that you have heard of or seen before. Anyway, until now, Li Tai has never seen anyone seasoned with sugar at home.
In short, the things sent by Dugu Xin can be measured at specific prices, and those that cannot be measured at prices are even more considerable.
Li Tai counted it several times before leaving the warehouse. Li Zhusheng, who was even less knowledgeable than him, had already begun to arrange for the strong men to guard the warehouse day and night, and did not allow idle people to approach it at will.
Seeing the family members being nervous by this heavy goods, Li Tai suddenly had a whim in his mind: Will Dugu Xin learn from the domineering presidents of later generations, and ask him to pull a few carts of treasures and get out quickly, and not be allowed to harass his daughter?
If this is the case, then we have to say: Don’t bully the young man and be poor!
Mr. Li, I am proud and can’t make money. You give me too little. I’ll be sure to eat this soft rice!
Not to mention Li Tai’s various psychological constructions, the Dugu Mansion in Huazhou City is not calm.
Dugu Xin sat in the hall with anger on his face, looking at the slightly messy pile of ceramic fragments under the hall, and his anger became even more intense. He waved his fists and smashed them on the table, making the eunuchs even more silent, and his breathing was almost suppressed and restrained.
Cui, whose lower abdomen was about to be born, slowly walked into the hall with the help of his maid. Seeing this scene in the hall, his expression was a little sad. He whispered to the servants to clean up the hall, and then he walked up to the hall and stood with his head down on the side of the Dugu Xinshishi.
Dugu Xin glanced at Cui, whose face was slightly swollen, and a hint of pity flashed across his face, but he was soon replaced by anger and waved his hand and said, “I won’t do your business, let it go!”
