Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 368 Expensive but useless things
The four of them were dumbfounded when they heard Liu Mu's words.

"You are brilliant." Fang Xuanling gave Liu Mu two thumbs up.

"Then what is expensive and useless, yet people still buy it?" Changsun Wuji was very curious.

"Follow me." Liu Mu signaled everyone to follow him.

A very gorgeous courtyard, with a built-in stage in the center of the third floor, no matter where you are, you can see the center of the stage. At first, many people thought it was a theater at this time, but it was obviously not after it opened.

Liu Mu brought Li Shimin and others in through the side door. There were no more seats here, not to mention the boxes on the second and third floors, and even the lobby on the first floor was full of people.Liu Mu led Li Shimin to stand in the empty space of the stairs from the second floor to the third floor.

There was a person standing on the stage, holding a brass trumpet and shouting: "The next thing is an interesting thing. A painter made it according to his heart in the south of the Yangtze River, but this painting was accidentally lost and fell to a small worker in a small country called Tamra. In the hands, this little worker doesn't know how to paint, he's just a little worker in charge of handling seafood."

"This little worker saw the beauty of the painting, and used various natural shells and colored stones in the sea to paste the painting on the wooden board again to make a painting. It is not expensive, but novel. It costs five pennies, and the price increases every time. "

The huge damask opened, and almost everyone on the second and third floors stood up.

If you look at it from a distance, it is a landscape painting of the south of the Yangtze River. If you look at it with the binoculars, you will find that the wooden board is densely packed with shells of various colors, but these shells form a picture scroll that is seven feet long and three feet wide.

Many people in the courtyard have heard the word sea, but they have never seen the sea in their life.

You can't even imagine what it's like not to go to sea.

People who have never seen the sea are also confused about what a shell is, but it makes them even more fanatical about this object. Rare things are more expensive, here is a painting made of shells in the sea.

"Fifteen." Someone called for the price.

Hearing this voice, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the third floor. It was indeed the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, his father Li Yuan.

Li Shimin immediately asked Liu Mu: "How much is this thing worth?"

"If there is only one pair in the world, a thousand guan is not too much. But I believe that someone will imitate it soon, and then make some smaller ones. This one is worth ten guan at most, at most."

As soon as Liu Mu said this, Li Shimin knew that there was a lot of water.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't know that these shells were thrown away as garbage at the seaside. It was purely because Liu Mu was idle and had nothing to do. He found a few young and handy ones, bought a few paintings randomly according to Datang, and then photographed them. Just stick it out.

"25 guan!" Someone raised the price immediately.

I know that you are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but you just increased the price. The rule here is that the highest price wins, price gouging is not allowed, price bidding without money is not allowed, intentional bidding is not allowed, and everything else is allowed.

It did not say that no one else is allowed to bid after the bid is made.

Li Yuan is not good at auctions, but he is not the kind of person who treats money as money. When he was hesitating whether to add 27 guan or [-] guan, someone called again: "[-] guan."

Li Yuan raised his hand and was about to call out thirty guan, when suddenly someone shouted: "Fifty guan."

Silence.

When the auctioneer counted, fifty pieces were auctioned off by him, and his servants would take the money to carry the painting away in the backyard.

Li Shimin said at this time: "The imposing manner, the aura of that bidder made the rest of the people hesitate, worrying that if the price is raised again, the other party will still be strong, and it may not be worth buying something if the price is raised to a very high price. It seems simple here. In fact, it's a scheming."

Liu Mu quietly looked at the third floor, paying attention to Li Yuan's expression.

"Second brother, the father probably didn't get any photos. The father is the most pitiful. He wants to ask for a high price but is afraid that the censors will keep writing letters. What's wrong with him as the emperor. This reminds me, next time If you want to do it, you can do silent auctions, or secret auctions, so that you don’t know who is buying and who is paying how much, this is interesting.”

Li Shimin patted Liumu's head lightly: "Could you calm down a little bit in this head, Father might get angry."

"No, absolutely not. You should know the character of the emperor better than I do. Since he is in regular service, he will not have the slightest charisma of the emperor. He is absolutely no different from ordinary people. Even his mentality is different. In this way, and surprisingly generous. It is more lively than ordinary people."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded, and then shook his head again: "It's the second brother's fault. Second brother and others are so busy thinking about those things, but they forget what the father likes."

"It's still too late to change, and it's right to change at this time." Liu Mu persuaded.

Fang and Du said in unison: "Your Highness, what Liu Concubine said is the best choice, Your Highness, please think about it."

"Yes, it makes sense."

A few people were chatting, and some things that Liu Mu said were useless but rare were photographed over there.

"Everyone, the last one for today. This is definitely the first one since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Please take a look."

The moment something appeared in Jinbula, everyone in the building stood up without exception, even Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was upstairs.

The Turkic wolf flag, with blood on it, is also embroidered with gold thread embroidery on the angle of the flag owner and the flag given by Jieli.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty knew a lot of Turkic languages, and no one would believe that this thing was fake.

"Ashina Ling, Wolf Banner." A guest on the second floor exclaimed.

"This distinguished guest has good eyesight. It is the wolf flag of Ashina Ling. The flag was captured by 800 people. It is not appropriate to put this flag in anyone's house. 800 people discussed and offered it, but it was just a mere one with tens of thousands of people. The wolf flag is not worthy to be presented as a trophy, and it is far from enough to make the saint laugh, what must be presented is Xieli's wolf flag."

"This side is auctioned here. The proceeds are donated to a new batch of 600 Ding for training and equipment. Although this small amount of money is not enough to equip [-] people, it can give everyone a good knife after all. A good iron knife is to show your heart and inspire your heart to kill the enemy. Everyone, the starting price is two hundred guan."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the venue, not to mention the lobby on the first floor, even the second and third floors.

"A thousand strings, Qinghe Cui bought it."

Li Yuan was leaning on the soft chair. No matter how much it was, he could not bid for it. What the auctioneer said just now was clear that this was something that Babaiding didn't think he was qualified to offer, so as the emperor of Tang Dynasty, he couldn't bid. Li Yuan liked this object very much.

After fighting the Turks for many years, no one has ever received the wolf flag from the Turkic Khan.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is also valuable to hang this thing in the Tai Chi Palace.

But the sergeants' hearts are commendable, and if they want to present the Jieli wolf flag, then Li Yuan praises this heart.

Li Shimin at the stairs on the second floor was very unhappy, and grabbed Liu Mu: "This is what you said, useless but valuable?"
