"As His Majesty the Emperor said just now, some people may think it is good, so they bid very high, and some may not like it. It is indeed difficult to estimate the price, but it depends on the individual." The missionary replied.

"Do you have any friends who are willing to buy it?" Zhu Yiliu asked again.

It's quiet.

Shen Yongjia seemed to understand something.

Suddenly, someone emphasized again: "But we are willing to pay a high salary to ask him to teach."

"Can you pay the advance payment?" Zhu Yili asked.

"Yes." The missionary agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then you negotiate privately, I will not ask more questions here."

At this point, all the three treasures that Zhu Yiliu needs to introduce have been displayed. Except for Shen Yongjia who did not get the money he wanted, Li Shizhen and Zhu Zaiyu were beyond their respective imaginations.

However, in Zhu Yili's opinion, Shen Yongjia certainly did not get anything.

After all, I received invitations from missionaries from all over the world.

Shen Shixing still felt embarrassed and did not face everyone so naturally.

The Ming officials breathed a sigh of relief. They just didn't understand why the things that they thought were very embarrassing seemed dull in the eyes of foreign missionaries?

When they saw a woman's body sketch, they seemed to see ordinary paintings.

Is this a normal reaction?

After summoning foreign missionaries, Zhu Yiliu left behind Li Shizhen, Zhu Zaiyu and Shen Yongjia.

Other Ming officials took the lead in Shen Shi's behavior and retreated together, and were still whispering before leaving.

Although everyone's concerns are different, one thing is the same, that is, the emperor is too awesome.

Sell ​​Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" and Zhu Zaiyu's "Twelve Average Rules" at a sky-high price.

"Whether the money sold by the emperor belongs to the state or to his own?" an official asked curiously.

"It should be owned by the individual. After all, it was discovered and packaged by the emperor."

"How come the emperor makes money like playing?"

"However, Doctor Li said that if he wanted to donate the money to the court, the emperor probably wouldn't take his other half for himself."

"What about the income of Prince Zheng?" Another official asked curiously, after all, Zhu Zai's income was more than Li Shizhen.

"The prince didn't talk about the donation, but I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to take half of it for myself."

"I wonder how high the salary can missionaries from various countries pay to hire the son of the Prime Minister?"

Speaking of Shen Yongjiashi, although the officials did not make it clear, they thought that they still could not reach the heights of Li Shizhen and Zhu Zai-chan.

Because it can be seen that no missionary wanted to buy Shen Yongjia's paintings at that time, so many speculated that foreign missionaries agreed to hire Shen Yongjia just to give face to the emperor and the chief minister.

As for spending money to buy paintings, no one wants to.

In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Twelve Average Rules" are obviously worth, but the paintings are not easy to estimate.

No one would want to bid too much, and it would seem shabby if the bid was too low.

After all, the emperor specially introduced the three treasures together, and the other two were sold so high. If there was too much difference between Shen Yongjia, it would be unreasonable. Isn't it a big deal?

So I might as well use another method to prevent the emperor and the chief minister from being too embarrassed.

As for what foreign missionaries think, the officials of the Ming Dynasty do not know.

Only one thing can be confirmed: the emperor has a good vision.

...

East Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Yili gave Li Shizhen, Zhu Zai, and Shen Yongjia to the seat.

After they sat down, they first asked Shen Yongjia with a smile: "Do you feel depressed?"

"Your Majesty, if you say no, it's a lie." Shen Yongjia said frankly. After all, the works written by Li Shizhen and Zhu Zai-chan have been sold at a very good price, and only his paintings are no one to buy them.

"Foreign missionaries have indeed pointed out the shortcomings of charcoal sketches, but no one buys them does not mean they have no value. It depends on their willingness to pay for you to teach, not to give me and your father face, but to be sincere. Besides, they promised to pay a deposit first. How much is the price of the appearance fee you are going to be? "

"I'll ask your Majesty to decide." Shen Yongjia said.

After such a comparison, his left hand was far from the level of his right hand, so his self-confidence naturally lost two points without realizing it.

"100,000." Zhu Yiliu said.

"..." Shin Yongjia was a little scared and asked, "How long does it take to teach a hundred thousand yuan?"

"Of course, it takes a lifetime?" Zhu Yiliu blurted out, "and he can coach in different countries at the same time."

"Your Majesty, is this too high?" Shen Yongjia said unconfidently.

"It's not high, just as I said. You are suitable for traveling to Western countries and experiencing more exotic styles will be helpful to your creation."

"I know this, that's what I think first." Shen Yongjia nodded.

"Then I will send you abroad to study at that time." Zhu Yiliu said, "When teaching, study and study, and strive to be both eclectic."

"Thank you!" Shen Yongjia was still thinking about the "100,000". If several countries could really coach at the same time, it would be a considerable asset.

"Okay, that's all for the time being." Zhu Yiliu then turned his eyes to Li Shizhen and Zhu Zaiyu, and asked with a smile, "Doctor Li and the prince were not frightened, aren't they?"

"It's really surprising." Li Shizhen replied, "Foreign missionaries actually paid for this price to buy the copyright."

"I didn't expect it." Zhu Zai said, "But they will fulfill it, so don't regret it?"

"The prince must have confidence in his research. I said that the piano must be based on the twelve equal rhythms of the prince to set the vocalization. Some people must have thought of it, so they are willing to buy it at a high price."

"Your Majesty, can they produce the strings needed for the piano?" Zhu Zai-chan asked curiously.

"It should not be possible for the time being. Isn't it because there are two hundred years of use rights? I think that two hundred years are enough for the Germans to study it. It can be said that their country has always been the pioneer of technology and is at the forefront."

"Then is it possible that we can research and produce it?" Zhu Zaiyu asked again hurriedly.

Zhu Yili shook his head: "No."

"Why?"

"Maybe in some aspects it is not as good as others, just like people. If I were asked to study the twelve equal laws, I would never be able to reach the level of the prince." Zhu Yiliu explained like this.

"In any case, if you get so much money, it's all because of Your Majesty's vision. I will leave a part of it to solve poverty and donate the rest to the court." Zhu Zaiyou said generously.

Zhu Yili smiled: "Follow you, I didn't force you to donate to the court!"

"Of course I understand." Zhu Zaiyou and Li Shizhen nodded. This was indeed their own voluntary, after all, there would be no such thing without the emperor.
