I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 364

Hearing this, Li Shimin tapped lightly on the cases in front of him, looked at this confidant minister who was good at strategy, and waited for Fang Xuanling to explain further.

Fang Xuanling knew that if this matter was only based on the impact on Wang Zi'an and his own son, it would definitely not work, and he had to come up with the hard truth in order to dispel His Majesty's dangerous idea.

"Liu Li is not a necessity for life. It is not a necessity for life. Ordinary people can't afford it. Those who are able to buy it are mostly the families of the country gentry and dignitaries. If your Majesty uses Liu Li for profit, it may be profitable in the short term." , but in the long run, it is afraid of losing the hearts of scholars."

Li Shimin couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and wealthy businessmen are more closely related to scholars, dignitaries, and nobles. They caught this group and kept trying to squeeze their wool...

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's thoughtful expression, Fang Xuanling couldn't help boosting his morale, and said sincerely.

"What's more, the reason why colored glaze is valuable, similar to jewelry, is not that it can satisfy hunger and cold, nor that it can defend the frontier, but that it is transparent and rare in the world, so it is valued by the world. If your majesty continues to sell , then the price will inevitably fall gradually, and there will be no more huge profits to be made. At that time, people in the world will surely wake up. These are all means for His Majesty to search for the world's money. How will His Majesty deal with the raging public opinion in the world? Those who have the hearts of the people win the world, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling bowed solemnly to the ground.

"What's more, today's move may open up a new life for the court..."

Fang Xuanling's words were very reserved, but everyone present knew what Fang Xuanling was talking about.The troubles of the aristocratic family have a long history, and even the old Li family relied on this group of people to get their country.But because of this, they are more vigilant against these aristocratic families and want to weaken their influence.

For this reason, Li Er has taken many measures over the years, but the effect is very little, and even almost cost his own life.If it is really possible to defeat one with the help of these young people—even if it cannot be defeated, it must be a few young people messing around, and it will not hurt the overall situation!

Thinking of this, Li Er's eyes suddenly became firm.

"I'm just here to watch the excitement today, how can I compete with the younger generation... Come, don't talk about state affairs, let's see what these little guys want to do—"

At this time, the outside auction has entered a climax.Wei Kuan invited more than a dozen virtuous monks and respected elders to come up to the stage to inspect the appearance of the ancient glazed Buddha up close.Just when everyone was about to appear on the stage, a steward jumped onto the stage quickly and whispered a few words in Wei Kuan's ear, and Wei Kuan's face suddenly revealed an inexplicable look of surprise.

"His Royal Highness Wei Wang also came to this auction today, and he has already arrived downstairs at this time, and welcome with me—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint voice from below the stage.

"Forget it - this king is here to join in the fun, to give you a strong reputation, you can do whatever you want -"

Although Li Tai spoke lightly, how dare everyone let His Majesty, the most favored prince, do whatever he wants.Quickly vacated the most front seat, and invited him over respectfully.Li Tai was not polite either, and with the help of his servant, he moved over with great difficulty, and sat down on the couch prepared in front of him.

To be able to invite His Royal Highness King Wei to have a strong reputation!

Even the elders of Wei's clan couldn't help but feel that their faces were full of glory, not to mention Wei Kuan, their faces were about to shine, and they wanted to put a tail in their backs and wag themselves.

"Your Highness can condescend to come here, the whole Wei family is very grateful—"

Wei Kuan bowed his hands again and again to thank him before returning to the stage.

His Majesty Li Er, who was hiding in the private room, saw that Li Tai had come to cheer on the Wei family's platform in person, he couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little unhappy, and asked thoughtfully.

"When did Qingque get so close to Webster?"

Cheng Yaojin and other generals looked at each other immediately and kept silent, and Fang Xuanling didn't argue with them either. This kind of question is really too sensitive.Changsun Wuji's long and narrow eyes flickered slightly, seemingly speaking casually.

"If Wei Zheng is a close minister of the King of Wei..."

Changsun Wuji clicked to stop, Li Shimin couldn't help but startled when he heard the words, and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.Hearing that Changsun Wuji stabbed Li Tai behind his back like this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but secretly glanced at this guy, revealing all his thoughts.He didn't know that Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian had reached a point where they couldn't get along, and thought that Changsun Wuji was standing up for the prince.

At this time, the outside auction has already entered the auction process. To organize such a large auction, Webster will not only sell such a glazed Buddha statue. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Webster directly invited more than a dozen pieces. Rare rare find, ready to hit the jackpot.

Produced by Webster, it must be a boutique!
This has become a consensus among the elites of Chang'an City. This opportunity is rare, so naturally they have to buy some good things to go back.As one by one the treasures were sold, when there was only a radiant glazed Buddha statue left in the middle of the stage, the atmosphere of the auction had reached a climax.

"The following is the finale treasure of our auction - the ancient glazed Buddha, one foot and one inch high, dark green all over, completely natural. So far, no glazed products that exceed this specification have been heard - the starting price is 100 million guan !"

As soon as Wei Kuan said this, there was an exclamation all around.

Although I thought it would be very expensive before coming here, but the price was beyond most people's expectations, and the scene was a bit cold for a while.Over the years, many good things have appeared in the auctions organized in Chang'an City, but like this, it is rare that an item directly starts at 100 million yuan.

This price is too exaggerated!

In a normal wealthy family, who would go bankrupt and buy such impractical things?Even Webster, if he didn't want to save the name and face of Chang'an's No. [-] jewelry store, and if he wasn't afraid of getting a bad reputation of forcing people to smash treasures, he would never buy such a thing at such a high price.

Wei Kuan had expected this for a long time, and glanced around inadvertently. Suddenly, several dignitaries shouted their prices sparsely, but these noises were quickly suppressed by a group of crazy voices.The group of virtuous and eminent monks who had been invited by Wei Kuan to appraise treasures on the stage all had excited foreheads, and they were relentless when calling the price. The price was quickly called from 100 million guan to 150 million guan.

For powerful families, this glazed Buddha treasure may be dispensable, but it is really important to them.

People fight for one breath, Buddha receives one stick of incense.

What does the temple rely on? It depends on the offering of incense from believers. If this glazed Buddha statue is contested by other temples, how can this incense be contested?
The one who was originally the most popular, was afraid of losing the position of the leader, and the one who was originally inferior, wanted to use this glazed treasure to make a comeback.The magnitude of the price increase is dizzying.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

These monks are really rich!

PS: I went out for a while today, and I came back a little late, so there will be only one update, and tomorrow will be three.
