When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 224: The First Emperor has become fat and wants to dig up Hu Hai’s tomb!

Enter the imperial tomb again.

With the experience from the last time, not only were more treasures taken out this time, but there were also fewer casualties than last time.

The First Emperor looked at the burial objects that were constantly being brought out and nodded slightly: "Humph, Hu Hai, let alone other things, he gave me quite a lot of burial objects."

Zhu Ming couldn't help but say, "I guess he knew that he had killed Fusu and tampered with the will, so he buried some extra things to comfort himself. Hu Hai must have discussed your burial with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao probably had the same idea in mind, burying some extra things for you to comfort himself."

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment: "Asshole, Hu Hai is such a beast, there is really no merit in him. Go and bring Zhao Gao here, and let him perform the trick of calling a deer a horse!"

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, looked around and said doubtfully: "Are you sure you want Zhao Gao to perform on your grave? I think Zhao Gao can dance hard."

The First Emperor thought about it and realized that it was true.

Knowing that this was his own imperial tomb, Zhao Gao might actually dance for joy.

It makes me feel a little uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Forget it. I still want to take stock of today's gains. Look at these things and see how much mechanical equipment they can be exchanged for."

"This is not my specialty. There are too many. I'll let the Dragon Dynasty handle a batch now and find someone else to take care of the rest."

It is not an easy task to deal with hundreds of Qin antiques.

Return to the capital.

Zhu Ming called in cabinet members.

"Now we have a batch of Qin antiques to exchange for some gold. Do you guys have any good ideas? We have just dug them out and they are guaranteed to be genuine."

The cabinet members were stunned.

I feel a little worried looking at the hundreds of Qin antiques.

If it's just one or two pieces, it's easy to deal with by finding some dealers who like to collect antiques.

But it’s a bit difficult to sell so many at a good price.

"Your Majesty, how about gathering those wealthy merchants and organizing an auction?"

"There are very few antiques in the Qin Dynasty, so I guess we can sell some of them. The rest can be auctioned every now and then."

The First Emperor frowned and said, "Is there a faster way? The Qin State needs it urgently, so a lower price is fine."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Your Majesties, I know someone who can eat them all, and the price won't be too low."

The First Emperor was overjoyed: "As expected of the Ming Dynasty's God of War, what can I do? If it works, you can pick any item here as a reward. If not, I'll have someone take you to the mausoleum to choose in person."

"I have been dealing with foreigners and know that they like our Dalong antiques very much. Some capitalists from Europe, such as Gallicus, are currently visiting Beijing to inspect projects. We can ask them. I think it will not be a problem to get this batch of antiques."

Zhu Ming frowned: "If this is the case, then the antiques will be exported abroad, which is a bit like smuggling antiques and cultural relics."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "They come to visit and seek cooperation. Many of them want to use my connections. I can make it known that I like Qin antiques! When they come to me for help, if they don't bring an antique, I won't even open the door for them. In this way, they will return to my hands and I will hand it over to the national treasury. You know, my image has always been that I get things done for money!"

Wei Zheng stroked his chin and said, "When the time comes, I, the old minister, will have to accept one too?"

Du Ruhui nodded: "We have to check the customs strictly to prevent him from being taken away."

"You are openly committing corruption, which makes it easy for others to follow suit." Zhu Ming couldn't help but say.

"Your Majesty, these projects are meant to be collaborative!"

Li Jinglong chuckled, "Gauul is seeking cooperation. We can sell these antiques to their museums in the name of Dalong. Gaul has colonized the world for so long, so it will be no problem for them to come up with enough gold. By then, how to transport it is none of our business, and whether we encounter pirates or something is none of our business. Even if we reach Gaul, it's no problem. We can secretly let John Bull find trouble and start a war. As John Bull's master, we can have an agreement with each other and send troops to Gaul to bring them back."

"Can John Bull be obedient?" Zhu Ming was stunned.

"Your Majesty, you have been away for a long time. Our Big Dragon is now John Bull's master. He will bite whoever he tells him to bite. I can guarantee that."

"Sooner or later, we have to deal with the Gauls. Back then, not only John Bull but also the Gauls were involved in the opium war."

"Your Majesty mentioned that the Eight-Nation Alliance also includes Gallic chickens. There is no need to be polite."

Zhu Ming nodded and said, "We have to clean it up, Lao Li, I'll leave this matter to you. No matter what method you use, the more gold the better."

Li Jinglong's expression straightened up: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I understand the market conditions there. I guarantee that the gold I can exchange for will be much more than the market price."

"Brother Zheng, do you want me to go to your tomb and get some more?" Zhu Ming turned and looked at the First Emperor.

A delegation of Gallic roosters gathered.

"There have been some setbacks in the cooperation with Dalong."

"That Li Jinglong clearly agreed to cooperate, but now he suddenly said he needs to think about it. I asked for a meeting several times but I didn't get one."

"What happened!"

"All the gifts that were sent were returned by the other party. Now when I go to ask for an audience, I am not even allowed to enter the door."

"I heard that John Bull's messenger met the god of wine, Li Jinglong."

"How did they do that? I heard that Li Jinglong didn't see anyone in the past few days."

"It seems that John Bull's envoys gave him a gift of an antique from the Qin Dynasty."

"Antique from the Qin Dynasty?"

"I heard that Li Jinglong likes to collect Qin antiques. Do you want us to find one and give it to him?"

"We must go. This antique is nothing compared to the project."

"It's just a Qin antique. Even a dragon is relatively rare. I don't know where to find it."

In addition to Gaul, envoys from many European countries encountered this situation.

All of a sudden, Daqin antiques became popular and their prices continued to soar.

a few days later.

An auction was held in the antique circle of Beijing.

Some Qin antiques will be auctioned at that time.

Many foreign missions received invitations.

"You must attend and buy some antiques from the Qin Dynasty."

"It's no wonder that I finally found what I was looking for. I never thought there would be an auction at this time, and that they would be auctioning antiques from the Qin Dynasty!"

"It's a bit strange, could it be a deliberate setup?"

"It's intentional, but what can we do? If we don't jump, there are plenty of people who will!"

"No matter what the situation is, I only know that a piece of Qin antique can knock on the door of the wine god Li Jinglong. Otherwise, you can't even get in, let alone any cooperation!"

"Even if we don't achieve our goal, we still got an antique. There are some wealthy businessmen in the country who like Dalong's antiques. It's not a big loss for us."

"Fuck it! Could it be that Emperor Dalong doesn't care about corrupt officials like Li Jinglong? You know, Dalong is now the best in the world at fighting corruption!"

"Lewis, you have to change your mind. I think the God of Wine Li Jinglong is very good. He gets things done for money. I am afraid of those who are not greedy for anything."

"Hurry up and have someone prepare the gold. This auction needs to be paid in gold."

The auction will be held soon. It goes without saying that all those who come to participate are financially strong.

In other auctions in the past, there were very few foreigners.

The situation is different this time, most of them are foreigners.

Especially white people, accounting for 70%.

Some are from the envoy group, and some are individuals.

They are all financially powerful people who want to establish a relationship with Li Jinglong so as to cooperate with him.

On the stage, Wang Canghai enthusiastically introduced the antiques in his hands.

"This is an antique from the Qin Dynasty, the Zulong chamber pot. Legend has it that this is the luminous pot used by Zulong. I guarantee that there is only one genuine piece like this in the world. If you put it in the house, the Zulong's aura can guarantee that the owner will have good luck and everything will go well. The starting price is one kilogram of gold, and each bid must be no less than ten grams!"

In a private room upstairs, the First Emperor looked at the chamber pot on the stage and asked in a low voice: "This thing is used for urination. Is there really anyone willing to collect this thing?"

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Even if this didn't happen, there are still people willing to collect it."

"What a weird habit, but is it true that it can bring good luck? I've used it before, but I didn't notice anything."

"Luck is a bit mysterious. If you believe in it, it exists. If you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist. Don't be surprised. Of course, if I say it, it's all nonsense."

As soon as Wang Canghai finished speaking, someone in the audience made a bid.

"One kilogram of gold!"

"One thousand and one hundred grams!"

"Fifteen hundred!"

Prices continue to rise.

Especially for those envoy groups, their expenses are reimbursed and the quotes are based on their mood, completely disregarding the current market price.

Inside the box, the First Emperor looked at the soaring prices, with a wider smile on his face.

"Xiao Zhu, do you want to collect one? There should be one in the Xianyang Palace. Given our relationship, I will give it to you directly. If you think it is too worn out, go back and have someone make a new one. I will use it for ten days or half a month and then give it to you. If it is not tasty enough, I will use it for a year and then give it to you!"

Zhu Ming was full of disgust: "What use do I have for this thing? I'll just throw it in the trash can."

The First Emperor shook his head helplessly: "What a waste of talent! I don't know how good my chamber pot is. I'd better give it to some eunuch or palace maid as a reward, so that it can be passed down as a family heirloom."

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Okay, no gold or silver required as the betrothal gift, just a chamber pot."

The Qin Shi Huang's chamber pot was eventually snatched away by the Gallic envoys.

After the envoy delivered the gold, he couldn't help but pick it up and smell it: "It smells really good. Is this the breath of the Qin Zulong? It's really intoxicating. You guys should smell it and feel it for yourself."

Several people sniffed back and forth: "More than two thousand years have passed, and we can still smell the smell. I guess this ancestor of Yanhuang is a little angry."

"What do you think it would taste like if used to make tea?"

"You can give it a try. If it works, you can tell Mr. Li about it. Mr. Li not only likes to drink, but also likes to make tea!"

One by one, antiques from the Qin Dynasty were put up for auction.

This was beyond the expectations of Zhu Ming and Qin Shi Huang.

There were a total of one hundred items, and there were several people bidding for each one.

The prices are higher than the market price.

When asked about this, Li Jinglong said, "It's probably related to Wei Zheng. According to the current regulations, even if I reach an agreement, I still need the seal of Lord Fang's cabinet. According to the size of the contract, one seal must be worth at least a Qin antique. It's faster than making money for me!"

Seeing this, Zhu Ming immediately arranged for people to auction the remaining items.

Many people, with the mentality of buying more in the hope that they might need them in the future, continue to bid even if they have only purchased one.

night.

Several groups of guests came to Li Jinglong's house.

These guests were very tactful and offered a treasure on their own initiative.

Not long after, a butler brought someone to Li Jinglong.

As for those who haven’t, go back and wait for notification.

Li Jinglong's face was full of smiles, and more than a dozen people came back in one night.

This is only because of time, otherwise, it would be much more.

Some people even wanted to make a reservation for antiques. When Li Jinglong heard this, he said that this was totally possible.

After the housekeeper's instructions, reservations for the next few days were made instantly.

Those who were driven back saw how realistic Li Jinglong was.

We had to go back and ask people to find a way to get the Qin antiques.

The First Emperor looked at the room full of gold and was so excited that he lost his mind.

"Xiao Zhu, I'm counting on you from now on. Change all this gold for me."

Zhu Ming looked a little worried: "Brother Zheng, it's hard to handle too much gold. You have to give me some time."

It definitely won’t work if it’s only in the country.

Need to sell some abroad.

"No problem. You can exchange part of it first, and keep the rest with you. I have to go back and ask the ministers what to exchange." The First Emperor was very generous. "I can't let you work in vain. According to the previous agreement, 20% of the gold belongs to you. You can just deduct the gold when the time comes."

"no problem."

Zhu Ming took out a list and said, "Brother Zheng, this is a list of people who need Daqin antiques that I secretly compiled. They are all potential customers."

The First Emperor took it and glanced at it.

"Okay, okay, let's go and buy some more goods from the imperial mausoleum. Oh, by the way, where is the tomb of that beast Hu Hai? We must dig it up for him. He has contributed to my mausoleum, so why should his tomb be well buried? Besides, he doesn't deserve to have a mausoleum at all. Drag him out and grind his bones to dust."

Suddenly, the First Emperor thought of Hu Hai and asked angrily.

While investigating the tomb of the First Emperor, Zhu Ming had already investigated the tomb of Hu Hai.

Compared with the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Hu Hai's tomb is very shabby.

After all, he was killed after only a few years in power.

There was not enough time to build much of the mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor took decades to build, and after unifying the six kingdoms, when he passed away, it was still the Qin Dynasty, which crushed Hu Hai in all aspects.

After Zhao Gao had Hu Hai killed, he was killed by Ziying not long after. Then Liu Bang and Xiang Yu broke through the pass, and the Qin Dynasty was completely finished. No one cared about how Hu Hai was buried.

"Brother Zheng, don't count on Hu Hai. There's probably nothing in his tomb. Of course, if you just want to dig it up, that's fine."

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, his face full of anger: "Waste, what a waste, he was a waste when he was alive, and he is also a waste when he is dead. Where is his tomb? We must dig it up and expose it to the sun for three days!" (End of this chapter)
