Originally, Han Hong was just here to deal with it and cheer up Zhao Yun, but he didn't expect that when he walked in, he found that the treasures in the imperial treasure hall were all priceless and rare. This time, it was really worth it.
As soon as he heard that there was Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, he hurried over.
Looking at this peace note, the words on it are full of penmanship and natural, giving people an indescribable sense of simplicity, weight, and solemnity, and many people are breathing heavily.
"This, this, this,,, this isn't a fake, is it?"
"Fake? Even if it is a fake, if it can be faked like this, it is still authentic."
Many people were amazed, knowing that when the Royal Treasure Hall opened, it would definitely bring out the best treasures to become famous, but they did not expect that this treasure turned out to be Wang Xizhi's calligraphy treasure. This is really unbelievable unless you see it with your own eyes.
But for such a valuable treasure, everyone is worried about buying a fake, and everyone is undecided.
Han Hong, Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Cheng Ju and others did not speak one by one. They were just watching carefully to distinguish the authenticity.
The Song Dynasty can be said to have reached the pinnacle of poetry, calligraphy and painting. It can be said that as long as there are celebrities from the Song Dynasty who can be named, they are either poets, calligraphers or painters, regardless of whether they are officials or not.
The same is true for Han Hong, Zhen Dexiu and others. Although they are all high-ranking officials, they are also very accomplished people in poetry, calligraphy and painting. Each of them has calligraphy and painting in this field passed down from generation to generation.
Cheng Ju nodded and said: "This peace note must be the original work of the Wang family."
Han Hong also nodded happily, agreeing with Cheng Ju's point of view.
Their nods confirmed the value of this copybook, and many people were ready to look at the price tag.
But when I saw it, my heart dropped.
The price tag reads: "The starting price is 50,000 guan."
The usual currency is one thousand copper coins. Fifty thousand copper coins means fifty million copper coins. This price is really worthy of this copybook.
And this is not the final price. According to the rules of the Royal Treasure Hall, the highest bidder gets it. We don’t know what the final price will be.
The price is too high, and it is no longer affordable for ordinary people. Even if the people present are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, the price is still a huge amount of money for them.
It was not only Wang Xizhi's peace post that caused a sensation, but the Five Oxen Picture by Han Huang, a great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, which was also amazing.
Han Hong, Zhen Dexiu and many other officials and merchants came to watch and praised the Five Oxen Picture.
"It is worthy of being the calligraphy treasure of the Han family. Its value cannot be estimated in terms of gold and silver."
Qiao Xingjian came to the painting to observe it for a while and was full of praise.
Even if Han Hong, Zhen Dexiu, Cheng Jue, Qiao Xingjian and others are high-ranking officials in the ministry, if they want to see rare treasures such as the Ping An Tie and the Five Niu Pictures, it still depends on fate.
But all good things have a problem, that is, they are extremely expensive. This picture of five cows is the same as the Ping An post, with a starting price of 50,000 yuan!
Zheng Shichang knew that his father loved calligraphy and painting and admired all the calligraphers of the past dynasties. When he saw the calligraphy works of Wang Xizhi and Han Huang, he did not dare to neglect and immediately sent someone to spread the news home to let his father Zheng Qingzhi know.
Soon, Zheng Qingzhi received the news. He was excited and at the same time very excited. He remembered Zhao Yun's promise to him that as long as he bought something at the Royal Treasure Hall, Zhao Yun would pay half of the money.
Zheng Qingzhi couldn't help but think: "If this is a genuine product, if you buy it yourself, you only need to spend half the money. But if you need money urgently, even if you sell it at a low price, you will make a net profit of tens of thousands of dollars!"
For the first time, Zheng Qingzhi realized that the money was so worthless in front of the treasure, and that he actually had such a huge profit potential.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zheng Qingzhi simply came to the Imperial Treasure Hall to check it out in person. Of course, pretending to be sick and coughing from time to time was also necessary.
So Zheng Qingzhi, who was still recovering from his illness, also came. When he was reading the peace post and the five cows picture, he even forgot to cough. He had to be reminded by Zheng Shichang next to him before he remembered to cough a few times.
Zheng Qingzhi was excited, and Han Hong had similar thoughts to Zheng Qingzhi.
Han Hong was also very excited at this time. He was also very interested in the Ping An Post and the Five Cows Picture. However, when the price was so high, even if he was the King of Wei, it still felt a little painful.
"I almost forgot, the government will give me half of it."
Han Hong suddenly remembered Zhao Yun's promise to him that no matter how much it cost, Zhao Yun would pay him half.
Before, he was a little reluctant about Zhao Yun wanting to come here by himself, but now he looked happy. The burden was suddenly reduced by half, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Liaoweng looked at it for a while. Even though he liked it, it was definitely something he couldn't afford. In desperation, he reluctantly went to other booths to watch it.
Zhen Dexiu is not much better than Wei Liaoweng. Although his family also has tens of thousands of dollars, it won't be easy for him to come up with tens of thousands of dollars in one go. And even if he can, his family may not be able to afford it.
There is no more rice to put in the pot.
"This ivory pagoda is nice, but why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"
Zhu Zhu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, walked to a booth and looked at the ivory pagoda in front of him. He liked it very much, but he also felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it before.
"I remembered, I saw him before when I ransacked Shi Miyuan's house."
Zhu Zhu suddenly realized it and couldn't help but look around.
At this glance, Zhu Zhu was surprised to find five treasures taken from Shi Miyuan's house.
Looking at the prices one by one, the starting price is at least 5,000 guan. The most common ones are the Ping An Tie and Wuniu pictures, which start at 50,000 guan.
Zhu Zhu clicked his tongue and thought that hundreds of boxes of treasures were confiscated that day. If he really wanted to calculate the price like this, it would be okay.
"Hey, how could I forget such an important thing? No matter what I buy, the government will give me half of it."
Zhu Zhu suddenly remembered the reward Zhao Yun had given him, and he suddenly felt confident. He said to himself that he had offered five thousand for the ivory pagoda, so he only had to pay half of it, and he would earn half of it for nothing. Where can he find such a bargain?
It turned out that Zhao Yun treated everyone equally and gave Han Hong, Zheng Qingzhi, Zhu Zhu, Zhen Dexiu and other senior officials in the ministry a reward, and gave them half of the money.
Zhu Zhu was immediately confident and prepared to make a fortune when the time came.
"It turns out that I am from Zhu Daguan. I, Wang Gao, are very polite."
At this time, businessman Wang Gao saw Zhu Zhu and knew that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He wanted to make friends with him for convenience, so he humbly came up to talk and please him.
Zhu Zhu didn't show off and politely raised his hand to return the gift. Wang Gao was excited and his eyes were bright.
"Did the officials take a fancy to this ivory pagoda?" Wang Gao asked, seeing that Zhu Zhu seemed interested in the ivory pagoda.
