Daming: The king and grandson return and don't proclaim themselves emperor? I am the sea lord Chapter Thirty-Three Who Spent the Daming Treasury’s Silver
Chapter Thirty-Three Who Spent the Daming Treasury’s Silver
"Hey! This kind of jade! You have never heard of it, you have never seen it!"
Wang Huai walked up to a stage that was half a person tall. Gu Xuewen said in surprise and explained:
“This kind of jade comes from Longhe, further south in the Southwest. The local worship of this kind of jade is like the Chinese fascination with Kungang jade!
"My father-in-law asserts that this kind of jade will definitely become popular all over the world in the future!
It’s a pity that he disappeared before his idea even started..."
Wang Huai smiled slightly:
"Is it called Jade?"
This kind of raw jade stone came from the Jade Kingdom in the previous life. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was called jade.
Shen Wansan was very discerning. After the Qianlong reign, the price of jade began to exceed that of Kungang jade, that is, Hetian jade.
If God had lent it to Old Shen for another ten years, perhaps jade would have become popular hundreds of years earlier.
And Lao Shen's wealth is even richer than that of the country!
"How do you know this is jade?" Gu Xuewen asked himself and answered, "Oh, people say that you are a fortune teller. Can you read and tell stones?"
"Let you see what it means to have superb Xiangyu skills!"
Gu Xuewen said the next sentence with great satisfaction, climbed onto the platform, and looked and touched each one one by one.
Wang Huai glanced at the stone pei. The quality of the stone was not bad. After all, it was developed in the early years.
However, I don’t even look down on it.
etc!
Among the rocks, there is a rough stone larger than a jackfruit, and the spiritual energy is overflowing!
Even the thick stone skin cannot stop it!
When the phoenix falls on Bian Heyu, the spiritual energy under the stone skin overflows!
The jade merchants and big players present, and the jade articles they wore, including the jade in the entire stone field, did not have this aura of compelling aura.
Although real jade has its own spiritual energy, it will be slowly released over time after it is turned into a device.
The better the appearance, the more abundant the spiritual energy.
This is why jade can nourish people.
"Do you like this?"
When Gu Xuewen saw Wang Huai moving the stone, he couldn't help but persuade:
"I am an expert in Xiangyu. The sand is thick and the meat is thick, the sand is fine and the meat is fine, the sand is even and the meat is even, the sand is clean and the meat is clean, the sand is messy and the bottom is rough, the sand is hard and the bottom is firm, the sand is soaked but the bottom is tender, the sand is iron and the meat is bright, the sand is on the bottom Wood'......
I'm not telling you, this piece of jade has none of its advantages and has all its disadvantages...it's too risky!"
"He is Taoist Master Xiao Wang. I believe in his vision!" someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
The owner of the stone stall was a young man who looked like a scholar. He walked up to the stage and introduced:
"The whole pile of stones are all newly quarried, except for this one, which is inherited from ancestors and has been polished out.
Because my family was in decline, I had no choice but to sell it, and the price was the highest in the house - eight thousand taels."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd started to stir:
"I'll pay you ten thousand taels if the immortal Taoist Priest Xiao Wang likes it!"
"I'll pay twenty thousand taels!"
"Thirty thousand taels!"
...
The voices of bidding kept coming and going.
After a while, the price had already been pushed up to 60,000 taels.
at this time.
A domineering voice came from outside the crowd:
"I'll cover this pile of stones for six hundred taels! Please explain it to me. If you don't get good jade, don't go out and do business!"
The crowd fell silent instantly and a path automatically opened.
A young man wearing a red brocade robe and a black mole on his cheek walked in.
Behind him were seven or eight stout servants, all of whom were trying to avoid him as if they were hiding from the god of plague.
The wealthy businessmen who were bidding just now all shut up.
It was obvious that he was very afraid of the intruder, and he dared not speak out in anger.
All the hands that were still bidding dropped their hands, and a few even shook their heads, sighed, and turned around to leave.
"Master Zhao!" Gu Xuewen whispered in Wang Huai's ear.
Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao will pay for the entire event? Six hundred taels?
Why is this so familiar?
This person is also familiar!
Wang Huai thought of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance in Wuying Hall and accused him of using money from the treasury to waste money.
There is no doubt that Mr. Zhao and his appearance are one of his own!
Wang Huai nodded:
"Zhao Da, right?"
"Huh? Why do you... hmm!"
Gu Xuewen said, smiling awkwardly but politely.
This big boss really deserves his reputation for his expertise.
Wang Huaigong focused his eyes, Zhao Da's past was fast-forwarding in his mind like a movie.
His father is the one who really used the Ming Dynasty’s treasury to waste money!
Zhao Mian was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his relations with the court were complicated.
His father-in-law was the great scholar Liu Santang, whom even Lao Zhu respected very much.
To ordinary people and businessmen, this kind of person is like an ancestral Buddha who cannot afford to offend him.
But Lao Zhu emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. The status of businessmen was low, just so that the people could have enough to eat.
Being an official means high status, and Lao Zhu has stricter requirements for him!
The most disgusting thing is the corrupt officials who prey on the common people!
Gu Xuewen knew that Lao Zhu had special care for Wang Huai, and said with hatred:
"I was a shopkeeper who was doing business. I was bullied by Young Master Zhao, so I reported him to the police. Guess what happened the next day?"
Wang Huai affirmed:
"Your friend committed suicide the next day."
Gu Xuewen's eyes widened and he suddenly shrank back behind Wang Huai.
It turned out that the servants had surrounded the stone stall like a fence.
The scholar’s boss’s face turned red, he scratched his neck and said:
"The Master once said..."
"Snapped!"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Mr. Zhao.
Zhao Da stared at him fiercely and said impatiently:
"Bah! I am still a grandson! If I am willing to pay for a piece of broken stone, it is a great mercy!
"You have to solve it on the spot. If you don't get something good, you won't get a penny!"
"I don't accept it, my father is Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Another scammer, and he has reached a new level!
When he heard this name, the scholar boss's face turned red and he could no longer say a word.
There is no justice under power, and the scholar has an expression like "Take me away."
Zhao Da's men began to untie the jade.
Wang Huai's heart skipped a beat.
Wang Huai felt relieved when he saw them cutting the stone in half.
As the rope bow was being pushed and pulled, everyone was staring closely.
Click--
The jade cracked, and the rough interior was exposed to the sun.
"It's broken, it's broken!"
"If you gamble on stones and don't understand stones, you will lose ten times if you bet on stones!"
"Oh, it's a good thing I didn't buy it, otherwise it would all be in vain."
There were cheering comments all around.
Apparently, everyone was very happy to see Mr. Zhao failing to find a good jade.
"Bad luck! It's not worth a penny! I don't want it anymore!"
Zhao Da cursed angrily, turned around and planned to leave, not mentioning the six hundred taels of stone pei.
Obviously he doesn't plan to pay a penny.
The young scholar turned pale.
"I told you not to buy this stone. Fortunately, the deal hasn't been completed yet..."
Gu Xuewen said in hindsight.
The first cut is the one most likely to be shipped.
Moreover, this is a split knife, and it is obvious whether there is any material or not.
Zhao Da didn't give him any money, so he lost all his money.
Now, let alone tens of thousands taels, it's pretty good if it's worth a hundred taels.
"I'll buy it."
Wang Huai said lightly and walked forward.
The young scholar, who was about to cry but had no tears, and was full of grief and anger, was stunned.
Could it be that this little Taoist Priest Wang, in order to take care of his own reputation...
Could it be that his reputation was all ruined with money?
The scholar mumbled for a while and then said:
"Brother, do you really want to buy it?" This chapter has been completed!
