The project is basically like this, and the remaining finishing work will be followed up by the technical team led by Lao Lei.
The construction period cannot be completed too quickly, it will take at least several months, otherwise there will be no way to explain it to the court.
With a maintenance project cost of more than 500,000 taels, you can't finish it in three days.
After returning to the ground, Jia Liu looked at the various treasures arranged like street stalls along the Shinto. From time to time he would look at this one under the sun, and from time to time he would take that one and smell it under his nose, acting like an expert at Liulichang.
The rescued ancient calligraphy and painting books must not be exposed to the sun, so they were sealed and packed in carriages by Jin Jian.
Due to the accumulation of water in the underground palace, almost no silk fabrics were unearthed.
As for the murals and so on, they have long been damaged by water accumulation.
Even if there is, it will not oxidize quickly when it is brought up, because the Holy Ancestor was buried only more than fifty years ago, and it was opened twice during this period.
One time, Yongzheng’s mother entered the underground palace, and the other time, Thirteenth Master’s mother entered the underground palace.
Opening the underground palace twice sent a large amount of oxygen inside.
The stagnant water was still draining out, and some gold bricks were pried out and piled up at the entrance of the underground palace, where they were quietly hauled away by horse-drawn carriage at night.
More and more damaged parts were carried up in buckets, and the broken porcelain piled up into a hill, which made Jia Liu's flesh ache.
The piles of calligraphy and painting ancient books that were rotted into paper made him extremely sad and angry. He wished he could make a video call to Kangxi right now, scolding the old boy for building the house here even though he knew there would be water seepage here, which resulted in a catastrophic disaster for Chinese cultural treasures.
.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners guarding the mausoleum were looking at these treasures from a distance. It was not that they didn't want to get closer to take a look, but mainly because the governor and general manager Jia Jia's bodyguards used ropes to pull up the cordon. Anyone who crossed the line would be killed regardless of who they were.
Therefore, even Deputy Director Delwan did not dare to cross the line.
Coming to an object that looked like a Shang and Zhou Bronze Lord, Jia Liu squatted down and tapped it lightly with a small gun. The sound it made was particularly crisp.
This kind of thing cannot be sold, so Jia Liu plans to build a museum in Baoding to store such national treasures.
Other things can be sold unless they involve important historical records, are witnesses of the times, or have clear documentation on them.
There is no such thing as protection.
Because the baby itself is a commodity.
Queenie's family used to have an antique shop, and he was considered a semi-expert in this area. Seeing the seriousness with which his consort looked at it, he said that there were many such ancient bronze artifacts in the palace, and he also compiled two books specifically introducing these ancient bronze artifacts.
It's called "Ancient Mirror of the Western Qing Dynasty" and one is called "The Continuing Journal of the Western Qing Dynasty".
Most of the ancient bronze artifacts collected in these two books are in Xiaoling, Jingling, and Tailing, and the current emperor will also bring some of them with him after his death.
Jia Liu nodded, thought of something, and asked Queenie if Qianlong had treasured Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Clear Tie".
"The Emperor likes this post very much. In the 11th year of Qianlong's reign, the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased it from the descendants of Feng Quan, who was the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Emperor shared this post with Wang Xianzhi's Mid-Autumn Post and Wang Xun's Boyuan Post.
Store them together in the greenhouse of Yangxin Hall."
Queenie not only knew about this, but also read these three posts with Ji Yun, the bachelor's student at the time.
When the old man has nothing to do, he likes to take his ministers to appreciate it and keep stamping it.
After Jia Liu heard this, he hummed slightly: "Didn't you tell me in the underground palace before that during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, robbers entered the palace three times to steal the Nine Dragons Jade Cup? Then can you also find some robbers to give these three posts to
Shall I get it out?"
"ah?."
Queenie's hesitation was not that she didn't want to steal three posts for her husband-in-law, but that the palace was strictly forbidden and it would be difficult to find someone to steal it. If someone was caught, it would inevitably cause trouble.
"It's up to you to arrange this matter. There are also people in the palace. You ask the Secret Service to cooperate and let our people take care of it when the time comes."
Jia Liu doesn't care about the process, only the results.
Queenie thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss with President A, and try my best to steal these three posts for my consort."
Jia Liu interrupted him and emphasized: "It's not about trying your best, it's about doing it for sure."
Queenie's face suddenly became solemn and she responded solemnly: "嗻!"
Jia Liu got up and continued looking forward with Queeni, and then asked the Minister of Rites, who had been in the antique business, how much money these treasures rescued from the underground palace could be sold for in the market.
"I can't say for sure, I can only give a rough estimate. For example, if you sell one of these jade-carved melon cups, it might cost three to four thousand taels, but if you sell them in a set of six, you won't be able to sell them for less than thirty thousand taels."
of."
"A gold enamel cup and dish like this can be sold for seven to eight hundred taels, and a gold-plated silver pot can be sold for at least a thousand taels. This boxwood carved Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea bonsai, if Xianguan remembers correctly, the market price more than 20 years ago was
Around fifty thousand taels.”
Queenie finally gave an estimate of 10 million to 15 million taels for all the treasures.
It does not include the finest Kowloon jade cups, one-foot golden dragons, tourmaline watermelons, gem gold plates, jade gold knives, etc.
Any of those items will cost more than hundreds of thousands taels.
And it is very likely that there is a price but no market, that is, no one dares to buy it.
With a rough profit estimate, Jia Liu also had a bottom line. In addition to 146.5 gold bricks, he gave him 300 gold bricks. The overall value was four to five million taels, which was enough for the old rich to support him for a while.
This bid is also reasonable compared to the Yuanmingyuan which cost more than 20 million taels.
After all, the garden is dead, but the things that the consort rescued are alive and can be cashed in at any time.
Asked Queenie to call Enming and Jin Jian over, and without saying much, asked Baozhu to give three pieces of priceless tourmaline watermelon to each of them, and then let them pick nine more pieces.
Of course, you are not allowed to choose the jade cup, golden dragon or gold plate and golden knife.
My husband-in-law also likes those things.
The three beloved generals were also self-aware and quickly chose their favorite things.
This time even Enming didn't ask for gold bricks, because except for the tourmaline watermelon, each of the nine items he chose could be sold for thirty to forty thousand taels.
"Are you satisfied? You don't feel like it's a loss if you follow me?"
Jia Liuxiao happily asked people to pack the treasures chosen by the three love generals.
"Satisfied, satisfied, follow my brother-in-law, one year is worth ten years!"
The three of them were laughing so hard that they couldn't keep their eyes open.
"As long as you are satisfied, I never do it for myself, because I believe that what is really good for everyone is good."
Jia Liu waved his hand and simply asked Baozhu to give each of the three adults five gold bricks and turn them into gold ingots on the spot for the three adults to move.
"ah!"
In an instant, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the Minister of Works realized that there was only one sun in the world, Jia Jia, and no other day.
Jia Liu was also satisfied with their exaggerated reactions. He firmly believed that only benefits can improve people's enthusiasm and loyalty.
The rest was left to the three of them, including the 146.5 treasures sent to the old rich man.
As for whether Lao Fu recognizes this data, it depends on Enming and Jin Jian.
He went to the general manager's office to rest and sleep, planning to stay here for half a month and then return directly to Baoding.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, an official document was delivered to Jingling from Beijing.
It was the old rich man who asked him to rush to Beijing for a meeting.
