After hearing Yun Ye's words, the eldest grandson helplessly supported his forehead with his hands. He couldn't bear to look at the distant relatives of the Li family who had already stood up. Jiu Gong shivered and pointed at Yun Ye and said, "I don't know how big the business is for you."
Will you take it? I will mobilize the tribe to gather together, maybe we can get the number you need."
"This junior has done three businesses until now. The first one was to build a Yushan Academy, the second one was to build a Yuezhou City, and the third one was to build the Great Emperor for His Majesty in his spare time. It seems that
Not everything can be accomplished with one hundred thousand strings or one hundred thousand silver coins.
The eldest grandson had a headache. She was already regretting bringing Yun Ye over to deal with these tribesmen's requests for wealth. Yun Ye planned to make one or two old men angry to death.
After listening carefully to Yun Ye's words, Jiu Gong raised his hands and asked the queen: "Mother, is this young man telling the truth?" The eldest grandson raised his head and said, "Although he said something rude, his words were not wrong, but this is what he said. Academy, Yuezhou, Great Emperor
The number is indeed from his handwriting, which is why I want to give everyone's money to him. He can probably provide the goods you want and guarantee the quality. His reputation is very good in this regard. "
"I just want to ask you how much this Great Emperor is worth. If you can't explain the reason, young man, I will definitely argue with you clearly in front of Your Majesty."
It's just a ship. No matter how huge it is, it's not worth a hundred thousand dollars. This is the most intuitive understanding of Jiu Gong. According to their view, this is already a huge amount of money that can influence the rise and fall of a country. When Li Yuan started the uprising
The start-up capital was only 60,000 yuan. Due to the lack of information, they were almost completely unfamiliar with the rapidly changing Datang Dynasty.
Yun Ye pointed to the spot where the old man's crutches fell and said: "The square carpet under your feet is made by a famous Persian craftsman. It is not an ordinary wool product, but cashmere. There has always been a saying in Persia that an inch of cashmere equals an inch of gold. This huge square carpet
The value of the carpet is seven thousand silver coins, which is what you call seven thousand guan."
The old man was shocked. He lowered his head and looked carefully. Jinyang was also a semi-farmer and semi-pastoral place. How could he not know the preciousness of cashmere? After seeing clearly that the carpet under his feet was really made of cashmere, he couldn't help but take two steps back and sit on the chair.
Yun Ye pointed to the chair under the old man's buttocks and said: "The chair you are sitting on has eight chairs, plus the small square table where you put the wine bottle. They are made of the most precious rosewood. This kind of wood
It is very rare, and it is difficult to see large-scale materials, because after growing for a long time, Dalbergia will become hollow, making it difficult to make boards and square materials. Younger generations believe that the bright yellow color of Dalbergia best reflects the royal grace and splendor.
It's even better than red sandalwood. The Emperor is His Majesty's vehicle and must use this kind of wood. Therefore, in Nanyang, His Highness the King of Wei conquered sixteen countries before we collected enough wood to make these chairs and small tables. What do you think?
How much are these chairs worth?"
Cold sweat trickled down Jiu Gong's forehead. It was related to King Wei's reputation, and Yun Ye would definitely not lie about these things. So there was only one possibility, and that was that these chairs were indeed priceless. He was holding them in his hands in a daze.
The tea bowl fell on the chair and broke into four or five petals. Yun Ye sighed and said: "You missed it, and the three thousand guans disappeared."
I made this set of eight white porcelain pots. You can see that it is as thin as a cicada's wing and has a golden sound when struck. The picture of the pine and crane extending the year at the bottom of the bowl seems to come alive after being filled with water. Wu Yannian was unable to finish the set of porcelain after he fired it.
I have spent all my efforts to explain the craftsmanship and died. I spent three thousand silver coins, plus coke craftsmanship, to exchange for this set of porcelain. Now it is no longer complete. The peerless treasure has become extinct. "
Yun Ye closed his eyes in pain. He didn't know what his eldest grandson was thinking about using this set of cups to entertain these rubes. This is the real waste of natural resources. Damn it, why was Wu Yannian so excited about burning a set of cups? He didn't even say a word.
stay.
Not only was Jiugong stunned, but even Changsun himself was dubious. He looked at his tea bowl and then at the tea bowl that had broken into several pieces. Seeing the pain on Yun Ye's face, he ordered Hong Gu to call the eunuch in charge of the porcelain.
I plan to ask myself whether these tea bowls are really worth so much?
After the eunuch came in, he saw the broken tea bowl before he met the eldest grandson. He screamed, crawled to the chair, picked up the pieces of porcelain, held them in his hands, and cried loudly, and kept saying:
"I can't survive, I can't survive, this is Wu Yannian's last breath, God, I can't survive."
Honggu stepped forward and slapped the eunuch on the face. Only then did the eunuch who had fallen into madness wake up. He kowtowed in front of his eldest grandson and begged for mercy.
"It's not your fault, and I won't punish you. I'm just asking you how much this set of porcelain bowls is worth?"
The eunuch who was in charge of porcelain knew a lot about porcelain. Hearing what the eldest grandson said, he shed tears and said, "I'm reporting back to you, there's no way to put a price on this set of porcelain bowls. This is the only set in the world. Aunt Hong originally asked the old slave Yun Hou for the porcelain."
Is the price tag of 3,000 guan for the bowl a blackmail? The old slave told Aunt Hong at that time that the palace got a big deal, and he was talking about this set of Songhe Yannian porcelain bowls."
Hong Gu opened her mouth and checked the things Yun Ye sent to the palace. At that time, she was just surprised at such an outrageous price. She asked the old man in charge of the porcelain and got a very worthy answer, so she didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly,
It turned out to be this set of porcelain bowls.
"Your Majesty, the old man Meng Lang has damaged a priceless porcelain bowl, please punish me." Jiu Gong and a large group of old men all lay down on the carpet to plead guilty. This time, it was very embarrassing. They destroyed the master's treasure just as a guest.
.
The eldest grandson asked Honggu to help these old men up and said with a smile: "We are all relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Although the tea bowl is precious, it cannot compare with the depth of our friendship. It must not be like this."
The old men who got into trouble didn't have the shame to stay with Changsun any longer, so they left after pleading guilty. Yun Ye saw that they seemed to still be angry, so he loudly said: "Be careful when you go out, the whole door is made of Hualiu wood.
I can’t stand the strong push.”
Jiu Gong staggered for a moment, and then slowly walked out after the eunuch opened the door. No one touched the two doors, for fear that the door would be damaged and it would be his fault.
Seeing that the old guys were gone, Yun Ye quickly opened all the windows and complained to his eldest grandson: "How can you, old man, bear this smell? You don't know how to open the windows for ventilation."
The eldest grandson snorted and said: "They are all old people in their 70s and 80s. They can't stand the cool breeze on the lake. They think everyone is as heartless as you. You sent these old people away with luxury today. Maybe they will make even more outrageous suggestions."
The requests come from people who made great efforts during the founding of the country, and His Majesty will not refuse their request.
You don’t know that they have no knowledge or courage, but they are the foundation of my Li family. Jiu Gong’s three sons all died on the battlefield. Although they did not make any great achievements, they were the most important when my Li family was in trouble.
Loyal followers are also the group of people least likely to betray.
Every family has children who died in the war. After the establishment of the dynasty, because they had no obvious meritorious service, the titles they were awarded were not high. Most of them were small titles such as viscount. However, they had no regrets and still kept their titles. At the ancestral mausoleum in Jinyang, both the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have sworn an oath to never fail, so His Majesty and I are always extra tolerant to them, and we will agree as long as the request is not excessive.
They have been living in remote mountains all year round with little information. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty has become rich over the years, they feel that the lives of themselves and their people have not changed much, so they invited these elders to come to Chang'an to seek help from His Majesty. Give them some tips on how to make money. You also know that His Majesty is not only the king of the Tang Dynasty, but also their clan leader. It is the clan leader's responsibility to make the people rich. Didn't you just try your best to make Yunjiazhuangzi rich? This is a truth."
Yun Ye nodded and said: "That's true. These people treat Your Majesty just like the people of Yunjia Zhuangzi treat the ministers. Their foundation cannot be damaged. It's just that it's easy for them to make a fortune. If you want them to be rich in their time, you can It's difficult. With talents, golden phoenixes can fly out of poor mountains and valleys. Without talents, even if you give them a gold ingot, they will still be hungry."
The eldest grandson looked at the lake outside the window and said: "I naturally know this, but you have also seen them. Jiu Gong is already the wisest clan member, but he is not even qualified to fight in front of you. I’m so scared and at a loss. They’ve never seen a big scene before, so it’s difficult.”
Yun Ye suddenly laughed, and the eldest grandson said angrily: "What's so funny, are you so proud of scaring away a few old people who have never seen the world? I've called you for so many years and you haven't learned how to respect the elderly."
"Mother, I am not laughing at those old people. I am laughing at our master and apprentice for being too self-righteous." The eldest grandson looked back at Yun Ye and said, "Tell me, why do we think we are so self-righteous?"
"Empress, I have told this story to Your Majesty before. It is about a peasant woman and her husband sitting on the edge of the field, imagining the life you and Your Majesty lived. The peasant woman said that you must bake scallion pancakes and eat them every day, all year round. The farmer said that Your Majesty must be digging the ground with a golden hoe every day."
As soon as he said this, the eldest grandson couldn't stop laughing, Hong Gu also laughed so hard that he almost died, and the other palace maids even staggered with laughter.
Changsun finally stopped laughing and said, "If you deliberately arranged this for me, try it. Now what's the point of this metaphor?"
"Empress, Wei Chen has just discovered that the Qian Guan in the eyes of you and Wei Chen is different from the Qian Guan in the eyes of those subordinates. We thought that based on their merits, those people would want a palace, but in fact they just want a palace. It’s just a house with blue bricks and big tiles. I thought it wouldn’t satisfy people with less than one million guan. In fact, they would be very satisfied with 10,000 guan.”
Changsun clapped his hands and said, "That's true. Let them make their own requests. If it's too simple, we'll double it. If it's too much, we'll delete it. It's indeed a good way. This will win over people's hearts without hurting His Majesty's face." ."
