Chapter 597 "Prime Minister" Liu Luoguo
The word "official kiln" mentioned by Teacher Qiu immediately made everyone dare not underestimate this small, ordinary-looking bowl.

Now everyone is interested in guessing how much its price can reach?
"At least several hundred thousand. Although the vessel is relatively small, it is at least an official kiln, isn't it?"

"It should cost millions. It's rare to see items from official kilns that are only worth hundreds of thousands."

"It should be within one million. I think if I were asked to bid, I would be reluctant to give up more than one million."

"These people who are asking for hundreds of thousands have never seen antiques, right? Is the value of antiques determined by their size?"

"I remember that the chicken bowl cups in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be very small, but others can be worth hundreds of millions. Are you sure you don't understand?"

The discussion on the Internet is very lively. Some people think it is not worth the money, others think it is worth the money, and some people are conducting science popularization.

In short, ever since this small bowl appeared, it was marked with the word "official kiln", and the debate has been endless.

"Seeing that everyone is so excited, let me first talk about why this bowl was first judged to be from the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, look at the pattern on it. This is a colorful bowl with story and character patterns. It depicts the story of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays.

Therefore, this bowl should be called a bowl with colorful Eight Immortals and figures.

The main reason why it is judged to be from the Ming Dynasty is that the patterns with the theme of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays were extremely popular during the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties.

Let's take a look at its base. This blue and white regular script "made in the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty" has very distinctive characteristics of the times.

The blue and white hair color is rich and flashing purple, the painting is complicated and delicate, the immortals are vivid and lifelike, each has its own splendor, the painting style is simple, yet lively and humorous.

This bowl is exquisitely made with bright colors and lifelike characters, implying good luck and longevity. It is indeed a masterpiece of multicolored wares from the Wanli Dynasty and is extremely rare in the world.

So the market price I gave is about 200 million yuan. "

Teacher Qiu gave the final word and shocked everyone. A small bowl, 200 million!
"Good guy, it seems that we also have a colorful bowl in the cupboard at home. I will take it to have it appraised later. It might be worth several million!"

"Boss Chu, are you sure you can't buy tickets to visit the boutique?"

"The next one, the next one, I can't wait. I'm so excited to see it."

After the small bowls were packed firmly by the staff, they were carefully taken to the second floor and placed in a glass cabinet.

The next wooden box also started to be unpacked.

Just by looking at the shape of this wooden box, you can tell that it is Teacher Jin's "dish". Such a long box obviously contains a calligraphy and painting work.

Whether it is calligraphy or painting will be revealed soon.

But more people are still concerned about its price. Is it tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, or millions or tens of millions?

A scroll was gently placed on the table. At Teacher Jin's signal, Teacher Cai and Teacher Qiu also put on their gloves and slowly opened the scroll.

A pair of vigorous and powerful calligraphy works appeared in front of everyone.

"Calligraphy works, it seems the price is not that high, so it's not interesting."

"I thought it was Chinese painting. The calligraphy is really not that interesting. Compared with the price of Chinese painting, the price gap between calligraphy and Chinese painting is quite big."

"Grandma, I've been excited for a long time. It turns out it's not Chinese painting. I can't appreciate the calligraphy. It's better to see something famous in Chinese painting."

When everyone saw that this was a calligraphy work, they all showed a look of disappointment. The biggest reason is probably that they felt that its value was not high.

No one paid too much attention, but one person was different. When the two teachers slowly unfolded the scroll, Teacher Jin was so excited that he jumped out from behind.

After putting on the gloves as quickly as possible, Teacher Jin took out a magnifying glass and looked at it with concentration.

Teacher Jin was so serious that he forgot to ask the two teachers to show it to everyone first. Instead, he just let the two teachers hold it up and slowly read it word by word.
The two teachers didn't take it seriously, and were even willing to hold it up like this. Their eyes were always focused on the fonts on it, admiring it silently.

Yes, it is appreciation, that pleasing expression is enough to explain everything.

Isn't this calligraphy simple?
"Quick, quick, let's see whose handwriting these are. Why are the three teachers behaving strangely?"

"Abnormal, really abnormal. This calligraphy has a great origin!"

After everyone discovered the abnormality of the three teachers, the camera naturally took a close-up shot, and focused on the name of the author of the calligraphy.

"Liu Yong?"

"Who is Liu Yong? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

"Liu Yong Liu Yong, I remember it. Isn't Liu Yong Liu Luoguo?"

"I'll go, Prime Minister Liu Luoguo. I've watched the TV series. This little old man is very handsome!"

"The prime minister's words, it looks like it should be very valuable, not bad, not bad, let's give an appraisal price quickly."

"Teacher Jin, please hurry up. Stop reading. It takes a minute to read each word. You are wasting your time. Please give me a price!"

Now everyone really wants to urge Teacher Jin, especially if they want to step forward and give him a kick on his fat ass to make him move more quickly.
As time goes by, if Teacher Jin continues to watch like this, he will probably be able to see it until dark.

So the two teachers put the scroll directly on the table, which made Teacher Jin think about it.

Now is not a good time to slowly appreciate it. There are still many antiques waiting to be appraised later. If I go at my own pace, this appraisal will probably take two or three days.

Nodding his head, then shaking his head again, Mr. Jin reluctantly returned to his seat, ready to start explaining.

Alas~!It’s really a good thing. I’ll tell Xiao Chu about it later and make sure to appreciate it.

"This is a calligraphy work from the Qing Dynasty. The author must have been seen by everyone just now. Yes, it is Liu Yong, who you often call Liu Luoguo.

Everyone has watched the TV series, Prime Minister Liu Luoguo, I believe everyone is already familiar with it, but I want to say something here, just watch the film and television works, but don’t take it seriously! "

Teacher Jin's words seemed to mean something. Could it be that Liu Yong was not a hunchback?
"The most common impression Liu Yong left on people is "Luo Guo". This label is actually a misunderstanding. Judging from the current historical records, there is no clear record that Liu Yong was born with a hunchback.

It's just that in the records of Emperor Jiaqing, there was a record of "Liu Hunchback", but Liu Yong was nearly eighty years old at that time. People tend to have a hunchback in old age. This does not mean that Liu Yong was born with a hunchback.

Moreover, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, most of the official systems followed the Ming system and there was no prime minister.

During the Yongzheng period, the Military Aircraft Department was established and became the real authority to assist the emperor.According to the system at that time, academicians had a high status, but they had official positions but no real power.

The Minister of Military and Aircraft does not have any official position and has real power. Only those who are both a bachelor and a minister of military and aircraft are considered prime ministers.

According to historical records, Liu Yong served as the co-organizer of the Bachelor's Degree during the Qianlong period. In April of the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Liu Yong was awarded the Bachelor of Tiren Pavilion, but only as an honorary title.

Referring to the list of members of the Military Aircraft Department in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong's name was not found, which shows that Liu Yong did not enter the Military Aircraft Department as the Minister of Military Aircraft, and therefore could not be considered as the prime minister.

Although he has never been a prime minister, it does not affect the value of his calligraphy works at all, hehe~!Don’t underestimate it! "

Teacher Qiu's words suddenly made everyone's hearts become enthusiastic.
