Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 449 The bottle with ulterior motives

Longqingfang.

Chang'an No. 1 Zui, when Jinya Shichiro came to the stage, the entire auction hall fell silent instantly. Non-nobles were not allowed to enter this auction. Ordinary people wanted to buy some good things, and there were many shops outside with clearly marked prices for sale.

There are only treasures here, very rare ones.

"Today is a big day. When I was young as an apprentice, I heard people say that the imperial palace in Daxing City is full of rare treasures from all over the world. Last month, with the grace of the saint, I went to see the former Sui Miku. At that time, I couldn't even see it. Come. But today I found out that the treasure in the secret storehouse is the thing with the price tag on the shop outside the door."

As soon as Jinya Shichiro opened his mouth, many people applauded.

As a member of Datang, Tang people are proud.

"This one breaks a taboo, call it a ban. The first one is from Jiangnan West Road, a colorful bottle."

Four people came forward carrying a wooden box, and a waiter wearing silk gloves carefully placed the one-and-a-half-foot-high decorative bottle on the table, and then fixed it to the surrounding shelves with thin silk threads, lest anyone accidentally fall down.

People from Liaodong don't understand what Jinya Qilang means, but Xiao Yu and other veterans do.

Emperor Sui Yang had a vase that he loved very much. He would place the vase in his rest room wherever he went, so that he could see it at any time.And that was only the tricolor one.

The porcelain kiln of this multicolored vase is ranked tenth.

Let Emperor Sui Yang put this bottle together, like a bright moon and a firefly.

"Twenty Guan, all nobles, please!"

"Five hundred guan!" Xiao Yu was the first to bid, and immediately doubled the price by 25 times.He likes this bottle, not only because the bottle is good, but also because the shape and pattern of this bottle are similar to that of Sui Yang Emperor.

Xiao Yu believes that this bottle is of the heirloom level.

"One thousand guan!" The Khitan people also jumped up. They got a lot of rewards for killing millet and mohe, and they got some money from the sheep and horse business in the past two years.The nobles of Khitan very much hoped that they could have some face in front of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Yu waved his hand lightly, his psychological price was [-] guan.

But at this time, he didn't want to fight.

The Khitan leader got up and gave Xiao Yu a fistful to express his gratitude.

The first auction item, the nobles of Datang originally planned to give face to the nobles of these tribes in Liaodong, after all, these people are working for Datang.

But the second one is different.

A catty of top-notch good tea, ranked ninth, went from consistent money to eighty consistent.

Pei Mingli, who is in charge of the accounts as an intern here, stuck out his tongue in shock. In his opinion, tea leaves are good tea at [-] yuan a catty, and what you drink at [-] yuan per catty is not tea, but gold.

The patriarch of the Qinghe Cui family is also here, and nodded slightly after hearing the quotation: "This is not the top yet, I estimate that the super Xueqian Longjing will cost at least [-] guan, and none of the top ten should be less than two." Baiguan, after all, are rare items with an output of a few catties."

"These are small coins. The Porcelain Chief heard that there are only two and a half sets of finished products, and the other set is probably thousands of guan." The patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan said from the side.

The patriarch of the Cui family in Qinghe smiled lightly: "It's not surprising to have more than [-] kilns. I don't know how many kilns have been burned for more than half a year, but there are only two and a half sets. Let's not talk about how much the Zheng family invested, just say that this is the first porcelain leader in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Do you think Wan Guan is expensive?"

Hahaha, the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family laughed.

Even if the seven major clans will sit together and chat and laugh, this set of porcelain is definitely going to be contested, it's about saving face.

This set can be said to be the number one porcelain in the Tang Dynasty.

The one in the palace doesn't count, and it will never be spread to the people, so the only one is absolutely sky-high.

Seeing Taiyuan Wang's patriarch smiling, Qinghe Cui's patriarch sighed.Although he didn't speak, this sigh also represented the loss in his heart, this time it was really embarrassing.

Originally, Xing kiln was the imperial kiln of the former Sui Dynasty, but it only ranked sixth.

Not to mention sixth, even second is bad.

The top aristocrats all believed that the price difference between the top porcelain and the second might be several times, or even ten times.

Ordinary people would never have imagined what happened in that building, but the ten-cent a catty tea still made them very excited. Tea was only enjoyed by the nobles, but now they can afford it.

Liu Mu didn't go to Longqingfang, he went back to Wenyue Pavilion after he came out of the palace.

Wenyue Pavilion seems a bit empty today, there are no guests at all, and the people in Wenyue Pavilion are also distributed in Wutongfang and Longqingfang.

Liu Mu entered the hall of Wenyue Pavilion, and when he was about to express his feelings, he saw Peng Hai and Li Shimin sitting at the table in the middle, with wine and vegetables on the table.

This can be said to be Peng Hai's first contact with King Qin alone.

Seeing Liu Mu coming in, Li Shimin pointed to the empty chair beside the table, but Peng Hai stood up and opened the wooden box on the other table.

"This..." Liu Mu was stunned.

In the box is the set of top-quality porcelain.

"Given by the sage, but it cannot be leaked out."

Liu Mu was really moved, he knew how much Li Yuan liked this set of porcelain, but he gave it to himself.

"No, no!" Liu Mu didn't dare to accept it: "I dare not take it, this is the chief porcelain..." Liu Mu was about to decline, when Li Shimin said: "Leave it, this is the wish of the emperor."

Liu Mu has never been greedy, but this set of tea sets made his heart flutter to the extreme.

It is not to say that this is a lost firewood kiln, nor is it that this is the first porcelain recognized by the Tang Dynasty.Just talking about this tea set, for a cup lover like Liu Mu who liked to buy all kinds of cups in his previous life, the attraction is fatal.

"It's hard work." Li Shimin smiled: "The imperial sister likes to collect mirrors, and you like teacups. But this time, you rejected the gifts from various kilns and didn't go to Longqingfang. The emperor likes this This kind of justice is what Datang needs, so you deserve it.”

Liu Mu held up a teacup and stared at it.

"Second brother, do you know?"

"what do you know?"

"It's not good enough, and the porcelain in the entire Tang Dynasty is not good enough. When it really reaches the extreme, even those barbarians in Western Turks who have never seen porcelain will hold them carefully when they see it, and it will be worth a hundred gold. treasure." Liu Mu still stared at the cup in his hand when he spoke.

Li Shimin clapped his hands lightly twice, an attendant came over, brought a tea stove, etc., and then a small bamboo box.

"Longjing before snow."

"Tea Chief and Porcelain Chief!" Liu Mu smiled happily.

Li Shimin also laughed, and Peng Hai lit a charcoal fire with his own hands and said at the same time: "I, an old servant, never thought that I would be able to enjoy such good food in my lifetime. Thank you for your grace, and thank you His Highness King Qin."

"Sit!" Li Shimin pointed to the chair.

After Liu Mu and Peng Hai both sat down, Li Shimin said: "I just got a calculation from Mr. Fang. He thinks that next year's taxes in Hangzhou will more than triple. Hangzhou will produce rich households with an annual income of [-] yuan and more than [-]. , Thousands of wealthy households will also be over ten. This is the truth, isn't it?"
