I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

After sitting back at the counter, Yin Xuan picked up the brush and began to think.

Iron ore and copper mines are necessary, but in any era, these are all strategic resources, and how much they get depends on how capable the group of Hu merchants are.

Then there is the alkali mine.

This is a very necessary thing, and the alkali mines in Datang are too little.

Sulfur, magnesium, nickel, and tungsten are also indispensable.

While writing and drawing, Yin Xuan suddenly stopped and retrieved his limited geography knowledge, if there was nothing wrong with the geography knowledge in high school.

Boron ore seems to be a very scarce resource.

There are only deposits of this kind of resources in Ari Macon and the Middle East. Ai Rui Macon must not be imagining now, because he has no such ability.

But is it possible to consider the Middle East?It should be quite easy for the Persians to get those things.

Yin Xuan added this thing again.

He is not very good at drawing, but he has only studied sketching for three months. It is very difficult to draw a ball. The relationship between light and shade has not been clarified until now, but the shape is fairly straight, so that the appearance of the ore cannot be seen.

It wasn't until dinner time was approaching that Yin Xuan compiled the first edition of the illustration book, put it away, and placed it in front of the little old men.

"Brother Gao, just collect these resources on the illustration book." Yin Xuan shook his hands, and slowly rubbed his wrists. Using a brush is really a painful thing.

Changsun Wuji opened it.

Iron, copper, gold, he still knows these things, but he has some impressions of the latter. That is, a "sulphur", and he doesn't know any of the remaining mineral resources.

"Shopkeeper, I understand." Changsun Wuji was a little hesitant, but he quickly complied. Anyway, he didn't get any benefits, so he might as well let them go.

The other little old men, after all, have nothing to do with Linlang Pavilion, and their focus is on this illustrated book.

Some patterns are familiar to them, but they can't name them.

Some of them have seen it with their own eyes, but if they are asked to describe it in detail, they can barely tell one, two or three points, but it is definitely not as detailed as Yin Xuan's.

Like what gibbsite: "The crystals are very small, and the crystals gather together to form nodules, beans or soils, generally white and shiny, and red if they contain impurities."

"I didn't expect the store owner to have such a profound study of geography at such a young age." Wei Zheng looked at the illustrated book in his hand, then at Yin Xuan, and couldn't help but smacked his lips and let out a sigh of emotion.

Yin Xuan smiled shyly.

Although he is not very good at geography, and he only scored more than 80 points in the exam that year, but during the period of graduating from high school and traveling, he was idle and bored, and memorized the book "Rocks and Minerals". Original English version.

The brain is not ignorant of these things.

Li Yuan's attention was not on the words and content, but stared straight at the paintings in the illustrated book, looked at them for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said, "The store also has some research on the painting path?"

The eyes of the little old men turned and fell on Li Yuan.

Some doubts, not quite clear why Li Yuan would say such words.

Yin Xuan's paintings are very vivid, but if you want to say how good they are, they are probably at the level of a child who has just learned to paint for half a year.

Their eyes started to look wrong.

If you want to have a good relationship with Yin Xuan, you won't be able to make such clumsy flattery.

Is it because Li Yuan has always been flattered by others, so he doesn't know how to flatter others?Nope. Li Yuan was not the emperor from birth.

Looking at the eyes of several people, Li Yuan coughed lightly, then lightly tapped on an ore pattern, and said softly: "Look."

"This brushwork is different from the calligraphy skills we have now."

Chinese painting pays attention to artistic conception, while Western painting pays attention to realism.

Yin Xuan had learned sketching for a short time, and he inevitably used some sketching techniques when painting. Old men like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling couldn't see it, but Li Yuan, who had been addicted to wine and sex all these years, had honed his eyesight.

When they add up, it really looks like what Li Yuan said.

One or two may still be a coincidence, but the patterns here all use such a technique, so it is not a "coincidence" that can be explained.

They turned their attention to Yin Xuan again.

Yin Xuan yawned and shook his head: "Coincidence, it's all coincidence."

Several little old men looked suspicious, expressing their disbelief.

"You don't even think about it, if someone who really studies painting skills can draw at this level?" Yin Xuan knocked on the table and said righteously, "That kind of person can draw better than me even if he draws with his feet. ?”

A few little old men thought about it, and that was the case.

Yin Xuan's paintings are indeed in a bad taste.

And this is not a critical detail, so they didn't continue to discuss it.

three days later.

West Market, in an inn run by a barbarian.

Several Persian businessmen gathered together, frowning, looking not too optimistic.

At this time, a person walked in slowly from outside the house.

The people in the room suddenly raised their heads, looked over, and asked urgently, "How is it, has the news been found out?"

The Persian businessman who walked in nodded heavily: "Well, I found out, that Linlang Pavilion is really not run by ordinary people."

"Who is it? I didn't find out. I only know that it is Gao. Even Jing Zhaoyin is polite in front of him."

Changsun Wuji hid his identity very deeply, just for fear that Yin Xuan would know his identity.Although he didn't quite understand why he wanted to hide himself from Yin Xuan.

But Li Shimin did this, and Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng did that, so it is not easy for him to break this unspoken rule.

Ordinary people can't inquire about these news.

Not to mention these Persians.

It is their limit that they can know the news.

Surname Gao?

This surname is not very common in Chang'an City, and it made Jing Zhaoyin polite, and they thought of someone almost instantly.

Goldsmith.

Of course, it is unlikely that Linlang Pavilion was built by Gao Shilian himself, perhaps his sons Gao Shenxing and Gao Xingxing
But in short, there is a high possibility that it is the Gao family.

This is a very tricky thing for them.

Datang has the atmosphere of all nations, with a broad mind and openness to welcome all nations, but the people of Datang have always been dominated by people from Datang, and there is no such thing as "Wow, you are a Persian, you are so powerful, please come in quickly, I Give you steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw" and then leave Datang people aside.

Especially those officials in the court.

In Pingkangfang, there are still some people who are willing to do business with Hu people, but there is almost no one in the court who is willing to speak for Hu people.

As a result, they felt that it would be difficult for Linlang Pavilion to sell those colored glazes to them.
