I want to ruin the country

Chapter 106 Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Bowl

Everyone saw that it was really cheap, and immediately many people raised their signs. The host shouted,

"One hundred and ten taels",

"One hundred and twenty taels",

"One hundred and thirty taels",

"One hundred and eighty taels",

"Two hundred and eighty taels,"

"Three hundred and eighty taels",

"Three hundred six hundred and ninety taels,"

"Four hundred taels",

"Four hundred and fifty taels",

"Five hundred taels",

"Is there any increase for the five hundred taels?

Five hundred taels once,

Five hundred taels twice,

Five hundred and two or three times!"

The host slammed the hammer down.

"make a deal!"

The first piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain was sold for five hundred taels of silver.

This time everyone understands it. It’s very simple. If you want something, just raise the sign.

Although five hundred taels of silver may not seem like much, it would be equivalent to five hundred thousand yuan in the 21st century. Moreover, the Yuan blue and white porcelain today is far less valuable than that in later generations!

The second item was a Hetian jade bracelet, which was of very good quality. The starting price was also one hundred taels, and it was finally sold for two hundred and sixty taels.

At the beginning, the collections were mainly from the Ming and Yuan dynasties, mostly miscellaneous items.

Because they were all things from the palace, there was no need to doubt their authenticity, so the speed was not slow. Basically, about six items could be sold in an hour.

The auction officially started at nine in the morning, and by the time it was suspended at twelve o'clock, twenty lots had been sold.

The most expensive item auctioned in the morning was a large Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl that required two people to carry, and was sold for 160,000 taels of silver.

The body of this large bowl is as thin as paper, as smooth as jade, and has a sound like a chime. It was carried up by four young eunuchs on a tray.

When moving this kind of bowl, if you apply uneven force, it will be ruined.

So after carrying the bowl, the four eunuchs were all sweating. If it was broken, they would probably not be able to afford the compensation even if they were cut into pieces!

One hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one hundred and sixty million RMB in later generations. Do you think it is a sky-high price?

Whether you think it counts or not, Yining has been beaten to a pulp by thunder. Damn, he's so damn rich!

Yining did not show up at the auction site all morning, and everyone stretched their necks in vain waiting for the whole morning.

The palace provided lunch at noon, with eight people at each table and sixteen dishes and two soups. However, drinking was not allowed because there was an auction in the afternoon and they were afraid of delaying things.

Everyone was eating with their mouths drooling. Today they were eating the imperial meal. You know what, the food the emperor eats tastes delicious!

What's more, the people standing next to us serving us are eunuchs, and we are living the life of ordering eunuchs around!

Haha! Just for this, spending ten thousand taels of silver is not a waste.

Yining also stretched his neck waiting for news, how much silver had he gotten?

Iraqi Defense Report,

"Your Majesty, a total of 643,200 taels of silver were auctioned this morning!"

Yining frowned.

"It's so little, what can it do?"

Iraqi defense quickly said,

"Master Wen said, the mouse pulls the wood, the big head is at the back, this is just the appetizer!"

In the afternoon, after four hours, thirty lots were auctioned off, with a total of 1.9 million taels of silver raised.

After the auction was over, people were about to leave when the Iranian defense arrived.

"The Emperor has decreed that His Majesty will meet with all eighty-four participants in the auction at the Palace of Heavenly Purity today!"

Everyone quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live!"

This meeting was obtained by these 84 people in exchange for 840,000 taels of silver, and everyone was very excited.

Under the leadership of Yi Baoquan, everyone came to the Qianqing Palace.

Although the Qianqing Palace is spacious, it is impossible to accommodate all eighty-four people.

The five people who received 300,000 yuan sat in the front chairs and were given a cup of tea.

The rest of the people could only stand at the back, but they had no complaints, because they were reluctant to spend money!

Yining didn't waste any time talking to them, and started praising them like Shi Chong in the world, Fan Li reborn, and it was as if there was a Zhao Gongming living in his home!

It is said that they shoulder the moral responsibility and donate generously when the country needs money. They are the pillars of the country and the saviors of the people.

These people were so moved that they cried. They never expected that the emperor would value them so much. They would be willing to spend all their wealth to meet such a wise ruler!

After praising them for more than ten minutes, it was getting dark, so Yining let them go back. This meeting today was enough for them to brag about for a while!

The most important thing is to give them more confidence. Otherwise, how are we going to reap the profits from them tomorrow?!

After dinner, Yining felt very bored. After thinking for a long time, he realized that the thing he was most uncomfortable with after traveling to the future was not having a mobile phone.

How exciting it would be if I could take out my mobile phone and play games for half a day!

Unfortunately, when I went to sleep, I didn’t hold my phone in my hand, but placed it next to my pillow. What a pity!

Come to think of it, there’s no electricity now, so what’s the point of bringing it here?

Come to think of it, there’s no electricity now, so what’s the point of bringing it here?

Damn, being an emperor in this era isn’t as fun as in later generations. In later generations, you can just drink wine, date girls, smoke cigarettes, and play games. Isn’t that a godly life?

He had long been accustomed to playing games until he was exhausted before going to bed. Now, coming to this place more than 170 years ago where there was no electricity, it felt really awkward!

We have to find a way to get electricity first. It's so awkward with darkness everywhere!

Then I suddenly remembered to go and tease that little girl Hongxiu!

I really miss her, and I also want to see how Tang Guoguo is doing.

"Iraqiongfang, take those strawberries that just came in, let's go check out the candy fruit!"

"Whoo!"

Yi Heping hurried to pick up the strawberries.

When they arrived at Hongxiu's place, the eunuchs did not dare to shout "The Emperor has arrived!" because Yining had instructed them not to do so.

They stood outside and listened to the noises in the house, and heard Hongxiu reciting "The Ballad of Mulan"

"Jiji, jiji, jiji, Mulan weaves by the window. No sound of the loom is heard, only the woman's sigh... The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred..."

After Hongxiu finished reciting the poem, Zhang Qingxi said,

"Sister Xiu, you have such a good memory. You were able to memorize the whole thing in such a short time!"

Hongxiu said,

"You, the female teacher, taught me well!"

Zhang Qingxi said,

"That's all for today. Everyone's tired, let's play for a while!"

Before she finished speaking, Dongmei said,

"Okay, let's play for a while. I get a headache when I recite. Tangguo, come here and let your sister kiss you!"

Then, the silver bell-like laughter of several girls in the room was heard, and they began to chatter and tease Tang Guo!

Hongxiu has been very happy these days. The wound on her arm has healed long ago, but she just has some difficulty moving around.

With the addition of Zhang Qingxi to keep her company, she was also taught to read and recite poems and songs. The group of them laughed and had a lot of fun every day.

Zhang Qingxi is truly carefree now. Her brother is an official, has no worries about food and clothing, has a bright future, and comes to see her every now and then. She hasn't been this happy in a long time!
