Chapter 543: Three Thousand Guans, Start Shooting!
Then, Wu Meiniang spoke seriously.
"As you can see, this glass pot is extremely transparent, and this material is unique in the world."
"All the beautiful jade and fine clothes in the world can be found in Huainan, as well as in Huaibei. Such things can be found everywhere, how can they be compared to this glass pot? Please judge its value!"
That's right.
Wu Meiniang's speaking skills actually don't have any speaking skills.
In the final analysis, it is just to brag about the scarcity of this thing and let everyone in the audience know.
As for the true origin of the glass, Wu Meiniang was smart enough not to mention it and only smiled.
Of course Wu Meiniang knew that this glass was man-made, and if she could make one copy, she could make a second copy, but everyone in the audience... didn't know this.
In their view, the best things in the world are the work of God. This glass is so clear that it is conceivable that it cannot be a man-made thing.
So……
Since it is a gift from heaven, its scarcity can be imagined.
Have you ever seen such crystal clear glass?
Anyway, I haven't seen it.
Just because they have never seen it, just because everyone subconsciously thinks that this is a natural thing...
As you can imagine, the price is definitely rising.
This sounds a bit like cheating. But there is a bit like cheating, but it is really cheating without a watch.
After all, I did not make any false propaganda - this is strictly prohibited by the Young Master - so how can this be considered deception?
What I said today are all brilliant and absolutely not false. And for the part I didn’t say, no one asked me anyway...
I am ignorant and regard man-made objects as natural auspiciousness, so I pursue these items and spend more copper coins... At least everyone buys them and saves face, right?
Isn't this enough...
Wu Meiniang's little cock was stolen.
And the next moment...
It was just as she expected.
Among the many gentlemen present, no one really noticed.
In this case... then what else is there to say.
Shoot them all for me!
Wu Meiniang was all smiles, and then issued an "ultimatum"——
"So……"
"Today's first auction item, a glass pot, three thousand guan, bidding starts!"
"Start now!"
…
Following Wu Meiniang's order.
Immediately afterwards, countless people below began to bid.
Either based on previous experience, or based on the rules of talking to people around you, or based on their own observations like Li Er and others...
One after another, they raised the numbered cards in their hands and started bidding!
"Thirty-five thousand strings!"
"Thirty-eight thousand strings!"
"Thirty-eight thousand guan, even if you don't round up the whole number, you still have the nerve to come and take the photo?"
Soon, the crowd started to stir up, and all their emotions were stirred up.
"Girl, I'll pay you four thousand guans!"
"Me, five thousand strings!"
"Six thousand strings!"
"seven--"
"Nine thousand strings!"
"Ten thousand! I will pay you ten thousand!"
Everyone fought hard and quickly got into the mood.
Excited, fanatical state!
There was not only an endless stream of hands holding up the signs, but it was like a rabbit rising and a magpie falling. You fought for it, and the people waving the signs were almost dancing.
And in this atmosphere...
All the while, there are still people who remain calm.
This one is Wang Jing and others.
Looking at this scene, there is no expression on his face——
Except for the faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.
With a sneer and disdain...
This is Wang Jing's domineering attitude.
And as domineering as Wang Jing, there was a large group of people around him.
Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe...
Pei Ji, Xiao Yu...
The others, at this moment, all showed disdain on their faces.
They come from five surnames and seven looks.
What do you want but can't get?
As long as money can buy it, then all of it - needless to say!
What's more, this day is the day when Wang Jing and others take an oath to plan for a great future.
No matter how fiercely these people compete for it, this rare glass jug will not be in the pockets of the five surnames and Qiwang like us.
Since my fifth surname, Qiwang, has this wish.
So looking around the world, who can compete with us?
It's impossible for anyone to win!
Absolutely impossible!
At what price can I, the Fifth Surname and Qi Wang, not be able to afford a shoot that is just a way to vent my feelings?
At what price can my current five surnames and seven hopes not be able to afford it?
snort!
But at the same time, on the other side.
Li Er couldn't help but feel fascinated.
There are also Queen Changsun, Wei Zheng and others...
They all stared at this glass pot.
This thing... the quality and condition are so perfect.
Not to mention the beauty, the key point is that no one can see any impurities.
Rare texture, ultimate appearance.
When the two are put together, there is no doubt that the price is astronomical!
Li Er and Empress Changsun also knew very well that this thing was definitely not cheap!
but……
Even though I know this thing must be extremely expensive.
But it doesn't matter whether it's Li Er or Empress Changsun.
At this moment, no one showed any intention of retreating.
If it's normal times, then that's it. As an emperor, setting an example for the world, how can we not take the lead in frugality?
But that's what it said, but Li Er also understood.
Now... Sheng'er has made unparalleled contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
As for me, whether it is to protect Sheng'er, or whether it is because I didn't have time...
So far, Sheng'er has not even been conferred a new official title.
What's more, at this moment, Li Sheng is making another unparalleled contribution to the Tang Dynasty.
These young heroes, let alone their own sons, are ordinary ministers and generals.
For such a great achievement, if I don't treat him well, how can I say it?
I'm afraid that if I don't care, the people in the world won't agree!
Only those who have made contributions to the world can enjoy this thing!
Li Er secretly decided in his heart that this thing...
"Xuancheng, Keming, Xuanling..."
Li Er suddenly broke out of his sluggish state and became serious with a cold face.
And suddenly, he called the names of the three ministers around him...
When Wei Zheng and others heard this, they immediately turned their heads and looked at Li Er subconsciously...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"I want to take this thing."
"Sheng'er has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and deserves this!"
Li Er said this.
Wei Zheng and others instantly understood that Li Er was about to take action!
However... the three of them did not immediately second the proposal.
after all……
Nowadays, the imperial court has so many projects, and everything costs money.
Although rewarding His Highness the First Prince is something that must be done sooner or later, but now...
Is it unwise to take pictures of this kind of thing?
The price was 14,000 guan, which was more than 10,000 guan more than the auction price of 3,000 guan.
This is more than 10,000 strings, and Wei Zheng and others feel distressed just thinking about it.
What should you use this money for?
But in the end, the three of them didn't use any words to object. They nodded one after another and bowed to Li Er calmly.
Because they understand... Your Majesty has a special purpose for coming to the auction this time.
