Chapter 296: Good Things Happen Again and Again

At night.

Wang Chen found an important clue that the Myanmar public market was between March 11 and March 20 this year.

To be precise, since 1964, the Myanmar public market has been held once a year in March, and so far, it has been successfully held for 55 sessions.

It's no secret.

The jadeite and jade wool included in each public auction accounts for about 2/5 of Myanmar's total annual output, which is a good time for many jade merchants to stock up on materials, and the number of participants is unprecedented.

Among them are some of the top jade dealers from all over the world.

If you want to do a jadeite business, this public sale is the best time to make friends.

Wang Chen thought about it, hugged Shen Xia, who was lying next to him, and touched his mobile phone to call Young Master Xu.

Toot, toot.

It rang two or three times, and it was connected.

There was a noisy voice on the other side, and it was estimated that Young Master Xu was outside, "Brother Xiao Wang, Happy New Year." ”

Wang Chen also said: "Good young master for the New Year." ”

Young Master Xu said loudly: "I'm a little noisy here, I can't hear what you're saying, > okay."

Wang Chen hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message to the past: I heard that this year's Myanmar public market is on March 11, can you help me get a qualification.

Young Master Xu's message replied quickly: What qualifications do you need, just pay the deposit in the past, but if you want to participate, it's best to prepare more euros, and there are euro transactions over there.

Is it that simple?

Just pay the deposit, huh?

Wang Chen was a little surprised.

Then Young Master Xu sent a large paragraph, roughly introducing the situation of the Burmese public market.

Probably means that the more the deposit is paid, the more the amount of the number of pieces allowed to be purchased, and the purchase amount shall not exceed ten times the deposit in principle, of course, there are countermeasures under the policy, if the purchase exceeds this number, in addition to the deposit payment, a fine of 1,000 euros per bidding is fined, which is a new rule for 18 years.

In addition, the deposit will be confiscated if the winning bid is not picked up, and the purchase of jewelry at the next three trade fairs will also be prohibited.

Under what circumstances will it be included in the blacklist, Young Master Xu has carefully introduced it.

After reading it, Wang Chen roughly had a preliminary understanding of the Myanmar public market.

Shen Xia on the side saw it and asked, "You want to participate in this year's Myanmar public market?"

"Do you want to go with this intention?" Wang Chen said.

Shen Xia waved her hand, "The cement factory is so busy that you don't have time to run outside." ”

Wang Chen originally wanted to persuade her to accompany him, but suddenly thought that Lola Luton likes to play jadeite, and Lola is very likely to participate in such a jade festival as the Burmese public market. ”

Shen Xia said with concern: "What are you busy with?"

Wang Chen smiled and said: "On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I want to go to Hong Kong, maybe I will go to Africa with Li Zekai to investigate, and then after the fifteenth day, I will accompany Sister Mei to go to Riben, and after I come back, the auction in Thailand will start again, after the auction, I will participate in the Myanmar public auction, and then take a few days off The Sotheby's spring auction will begin, I have a few collections to participate, and I want to go over, probably like that." ”

Shen Xia said distressedly: "Then you have to be busy for the past two months, how hard it is." ”

Wang Chen spread his hands and said: "No way, we are going to get married next year, and I want to make more milk powder money." ”

The two chatted for a while, did something indescribable, and fell asleep peacefully.

……

Next.

Waking up early in the morning, Wang Chen positioned and teleported back to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Tomorrow in modern society, I and Shen Xia will get engaged, and after that time, I may focus on modern society for a long time, just like I said to Shen Xia, in the next month or two, I may be on the go.

Naturally, he had to deal with some of the things he had to be busy with in the Northern Song Dynasty first, such as the coolies who mined jade, for example, education could be drummed up, and there was also cement factory propaganda.

As a result, when he returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Chen found that he was thinking too much, because he encountered a more difficult trouble.

State government.

On the outside field, Wang Chen saw several jade mining masters lent to him by the Qian clerk.

There were about five or six people, the oldest being only thirty-five or sixteen years old, and the youngest being only twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Even so, after Wang Chen talked with them, he learned that there were already grandfathers among this group of masters.

Damn, the ancients got married so early.

Wang Chen said with a smile: "Cheng Zhizhao, this time I want you to leave your hometown to mine jade, and you won't see your family for a long time, so you have to take care of it." "The edict is a name for the craftsmen of the market, not a name.

Cheng Wei, who was thirty-five or sixteen years old and wearing a sackcloth and a short figure, said: "Dad Zhizhou is serious, and the contemptible person asks a lot, where are we going? ”

The title of Dad has been said before, and the common people are honorific titles for high-ranking officials.

It's just that when he heard Chengwei's words, Wang Chen always felt weird, as if he was saying where his father was going, he smacked his lips and said, "Go to Bagan." ”

Zhang Cai, a tall man at the age of twenty-seven or eight, said: "But the Bagan country over there in Dali?"

Wang Chen nodded and said, "That's over there." ”

Another thirty-twelve-year-old thin man asked questions again, and said, "Bagan is more than 4,000 miles away from us, and you said before that you were going to take 10,000 people over, even if each of us had a donkey, it would take more than 40 days to travel 100 miles a day, not to mention all kinds of tools for mining jade...... "If you want to travel normally, it will take at least two to three months from our departure to Bagan, and you promised us that we will come back once a year for the Chinese New Year, and it will take two to three months, then there will only be half a year of work left." ”

Vozh.

It seems like that's the case.

Wang Chen felt that he had overlooked something, the transportation in the Northern Song Dynasty was very inconvenient, the fastest means of transportation was nothing more than a horse-drawn carriage, of course, you could also choose a boat, but you were ready to take 10,000 craftsmen over, even if you rely on a boat, it will take about two months to reach ancient Burma.

Not to mention that in order to ensure the quality of life of the workers, it was necessary to bring a lot of grain from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the organized fleet would be large.

So how can you get to Bagan in a short time with a large number of craftsmen?

Now that there is no plane and high-speed rail, Wang Chen has a headache.

You can use the mysterious space to load all the craftsmen into it, and then go directly to Myanmar by plane, and then use it locally to travel back to Myanmar in the Northern Song Dynasty, but you don't know the changes in the terrain of Myanmar over the past thousand years, and it is very likely that you will encounter the danger of crossing.

For example, when you first crossed over to a sandbar surrounded by the sea.

Do you have to rush over from the Northern Song Dynasty?

Get more buses from the modern world?

But if you do this, it will be difficult for Zhao Kuangyin to explain, and no one in the Northern Song Dynasty can drive.

Wang Chen didn't say anything more, shook his hand and said: "I will solve this matter, you go home first and prepare, and when the 10,000 craftsmen are gathered, I will take you to Bagan." ”

"Good. ”

"Then let's go back first. ”

Five or six masters took their leave.

Only Wang Chen was left standing at the gate alone, frowning and thinking, how could he bring 10,000 craftsmen over?

……

I can't think of a way for the time being.

Wang Chen had no choice but to return to the office and sit at the desk to meditate.

There was a knock on the door.

He said casually, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Jianhua walked in from the outside and saluted, "Lord." ”

Wang Chen pointed to the chair, "Sit." ”

Xiao Jianhua closed the door and walked to the chair and sat down.

"How's the training?" asked Wang Chen.

"There is still a lot of practice in terms of strength, and they are already a lot more accurate in marksmanship. Xiao Jianhua said happily: "Yesterday, more than 100 people hit the Ten Rings more than 30 zhang away, and the vast majority of them have been able to shoot at the target. ”

It's all money burned.

Shooting 20 times a day, plus the usual fake practice shooting, it is not unusual to have this result.

Wang Chen was very satisfied and said, "Yes, you continue to urge them to practice diligently. ”

"There's no problem with practicing, it's just ......" Xiao Jianhua stopped talking.

"Just what?" Wang Chen asked.

Xiao Jianhua said helplessly: "There are not many bullets left. ”

Wang Chen was speechless, is the two million rounds of ammunition used so fast? But think about it, 200,000 rounds of ammunition are shot out in one day, and they will be exhausted in ten days, thinking of this, he said: "Well, I will find a way to solve the bullet matter these days, I have something to discuss with you here, and you can give me an idea." ”

Xiao Jianhua sat down and said, "You say." ”

Wang Chen told him about taking 10,000 craftsmen to Bagan, and asked if there was any way to get there quickly.

Xiao Jianhua didn't answer this question after hearing this, but asked rhetorically with a strange look: "You want to take 10,000 craftsmen to Bagan?"

Wang Chen blinked and said, "Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. Xiao Jianhua shook his head again and again, and said, "Just imagine, if someone enters our Jinghai with 10,000 craftsmen, what will you think?"

Someone brought 10,000 craftsmen into Jinghai......? Eh, no, this is ancient times, the population flow is not so large, if 10,000 people enter a place in multiple batches, it is nothing, if it is a one-time, it must not be mistaken by others to attack?

Even if he is digging jadeite, will the rulers in Bagan not think nonsense? Can he allow himself to enter Bagan's territory to mine jadeite?

Definitely not.

This is another problem.

Wang Chen was even more speechless, jadeite has not been mined yet, buddy has encountered a series of problems, but on the contrary, if you want to make money quickly in modern society, jadeite is a very good way.

Wang Chen said helplessly: "Mr. Xiao, according to what you say, isn't it that my trip to Bagan is hopeless?"

"No, no, no. Xiao Jianhua smiled and waved his hand, "I have three plans." ”

Wang Chen became interested, "What's the plan?"

Xiao Jianhua said bluntly: "The best policy is that you write to Your Majesty and let him send a business document between Jinghai and Bagan, and then you take the court documents to Bagan, and you can naturally enter justifiably." ”

This plan is good, but the relationship between himself and Lao Zhao is stiff, besides, Zhao Kuangyin wishes that he could get the electricity as soon as possible, how could he let himself leave Jinghai.

Wang Chen shook his head, "No." ”

Xiao Jianhua said again: "In the middle of the strategy, let's promise the king of Bagan a lot of benefits, and offer gold, silver and jewelry, maybe the other party will agree." ”

Wang Chen thought it was good, "What about the next step?"

Xiao Jianhua sneered, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, we have 10,000 township soldiers, and we have a magic weapon like a gun, it's a big deal to get in." ”

Wang Chen analyzed.

In fact, it is the best way to say that the best strategy is to spend money to eliminate disasters, which can save a lot of trouble.

It's just like Xiao Jianhua said, the other party may or may not agree.

After thinking about it, Wang Chen said: "Then make two preparations, prepare a sum of gold, silver and jewelry for me, and write a letter by the way to send it to Bagan for 800 miles, and help me ask the king of Bagan if he agrees, if he agrees, we will enter Bagan through the normal way, if not...... Then according to your wishes, let's go in with 10,000 villagers. There was a pause, "Eh, but then again, how can we bring 10,000 villagers over without us knowing?"

Xiao Jianhua said as a matter of course: "Aren't you an immortal, it's not easy to bring 10,000 people to Bagan?"

Wang Chen: "......"

If only I were a god.

The key is not, some of the skills that my buddy has mastered now, maybe the real gods have to look up to, but there is really no way to take 10,000 people to Bagan without knowing it.

This is not Wang Chen's own bragging to himself, some of the skills he has mastered are indeed more awesome than the immortal means, for example, step by step, being able to copy other people's skills, according to the immortal means in ancient Chinese mythology, at least the immortals can't do it, in addition, there is a shuttle through time and space, traveling back and forth between modern society and the Northern Song Dynasty, no one in ancient myths and legends can do it, let alone go back in time......

Wait!

Dude seems to have a way to bring 10,000 people to Bagan without knowing it!

Thinking of the skill of going back in time, Wang Chen's eyes lit up, he was worried that the terrain of Myanmar had changed for more than a thousand years, so he would encounter the risk of crossing, but he had the magic skill of going back in time, even if he encountered danger when he crossed back, it was a big deal to immediately go back in time and return to before crossing, afraid of a hammer.

Now the buddy space is more than 10,000 cubic meters, and it is really not a problem to bring 10,000 people at a time, Wang Chen tested it last time, as long as the living creatures do not push open the door to cross into the modern society, they will not be killed by the mysterious space, then, it is not a problem to put people in the mysterious space at all.

Right.

That's it.

Wang Chen didn't say a word: "Mr. Xiao, let Wang Yuncang prepare 100,000 yuan of gold, silver and jewelry, and then ask people to send a letter to Bagan urgently for 800 miles to see what the King of Bagan means." ”

Xiao Jianhua got up and arched his hand: "Only." ”

I hope that the king of Bagan will agree to be interesting, and if he is not interested, then don't blame his buddies for bullying people with modern weapons.

……

Wang Chen has been in the Northern Song Dynasty these days.

I've been busy gathering craftsmen, and as for the bullets that have run out of shooting training, I haven't had time to replenish them.

The school has been initially set up.

Wang Chen is busy teaching students simplified Chinese characters, pinyin, mathematics and other primary school courses every morning, and the teaching gentlemen have cultural background, simplified Chinese characters, mathematical formulas are very fast to learn, but pinyin has encountered some troubles.

It's not a big deal.

As long as you have the heart, you can learn.

Then every afternoon, Wang Chen would personally go out to recruit craftsmen who went to Bagan to mine jadeite, and he promised heavy profits, and every coolie who was willing to go to Bagan to work would pay five times a month, which was double the average salary in Jinghai today.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and some poor coolies can't wait to sign up after hearing about the high salary of five yuan, even if they hear that they are going to work abroad.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that the craftsmen are in awe of Wang Chen's identity as the "Lord of the City God", and think that it is a great honor to be able to work as a god, and I have to say that the identity of the Lord of the City God is very useful, on the other hand, Wang Chen promised to give the craftsmen a month off every year and go home to accompany their wives and children.

After about seven days, seven or eight thousand coolies have been recruited, and another one or two thousand will be recruited.

This morning, Wang Chen had just had breakfast and was about to teach the primary school curriculum of the gentlemen, when someone came to the door.

To be precise, Jobs and others who went to Bagan to deliver the letter rushed back, they traveled 800 miles day and night to rush to the road, it took eight days to come and go, at least more than 1,000 miles a day, it is indeed not easy, this speed is very incredible for ancient times, but it is not impossible, as long as the horses are fully prepared, they have been running non-stop, they can really do it, but people are very hard.

in the office.

It is true that Wang Chen saw Jobs and others in the dust, each of them seemed to have lost more than ten pounds, with yellow faces and thin muscles, Wang Chen first said a bunch of concerned words, and finally said: "What did the King of Bagan say?"

Jobs honestly pointed to He Lian next to him and said, "You will know if you ask Mr. He." ”

He Lian's face was tired, but his mood was very high, "Boss, the king of Bagan has agreed, and promised that as long as we send 100,000 yuan of money, it will be fine. ”

Wang Chen was overjoyed and ordered: "Let Wang Yuncang find someone to send the money to Bagan." ”

"I'm going to talk to the king's treasurer. He Lian left in a hurry.

Wang Chen looked at Jobs, Ma Huateng and others, and said, "You have worked hard, and you will go to the shopkeeper Wang to receive a reward of fifty yuan later." ”

"Xie Dongjia. ”

"It's not hard, the owner makes money, so we should do our best to do our part. Ma Huateng is very good at talking.

Wang Chen chatted with them a few more times, and then went to teach the teaching gentlemen the primary school curriculum.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuncang took a group of people and personally escorted 100,000 yuan of gold, silver and jewelry to set off.

Wang Chen estimated that he would be able to reach Bagan in ten days.

Then he would send eight hundred li to expedite the paperwork that the king of Bagan allowed him to enter.

When Wang Yuncang and the others did not come back, he could take people to Bagan.

……

Two more days later.

Someone from the palace has arrived.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old little eunuch surnamed Zhu.

Wang Chen met the little eunuch in the office, "I wish you father-in-law, you have come all the way from Bianjing." ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to take a shelf like Grandpa Zhang, and said very modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Wang Chen asked, "What did Your Majesty ask you to pass on to me?"

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Doctor Wang, the immortal medicine you presented to Your Majesty has a remarkable effect, and Your Majesty has a great face, and you have specially rewarded you with something." ”

The emperor rewarded things?

Thinking of the mutton fat white jade chessboard and the black jade abacus last time, Wang Chen's heart was hot, the things rewarded by the royal family would definitely not be bad, and he hurriedly asked, "What good things did Your Majesty reward me this time?"

The little eunuch clapped his hands.

The three young men who looked like servants in the back respectfully presented the things.

The first one was a golden gown.

Wang Chen was a little puzzled: "This dress ......"

The little eunuch explained: "You are a local city god in Jinghai, Tongzhou, and Your Majesty specially gave your idol a gold dress, which is made of pure gold silk and weighs thirteen catties. ”

Cattle breaking.

A piece of clothing made of pure gold wire, such a large-scale effort is estimated to be only possible by the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Some people think that the ancient science and technology are very backward, may not even be able to make iron wire, in fact, this is not the case, as early as the Han Dynasty, the ancient Chinese were able to make the golden jade clothes, the golden jade clothes are the highest specifications of the Han Dynasty funeral clothes, the emperor and some of the close ministers of the jade clothes are knotted with gold threads, called the golden jade clothes, and other nobles use silver wires, copper wires to fabricate, called silver jade clothes, copper jade clothes and so on.

Although the golden jade clothes are mourning clothes, Wang Chen's idol is also not a "living thing", and there is nothing wrong with giving the golden clothes.

Wang Chen accepted it very satisfied, it is definitely impossible for the golden silk clothes to really be put in the City God Temple, it is all gold, if it is really put inside, it is possible that someone will steal it.

The little eunuch introduced the second thing, which was a string of pearl necklaces, "This necklace is made of three hundred and sixty-five pearls produced by the Liao State and Tongjiang and twelve pieces of top-notch fire jade. ”

Wang Chen said with a moved face: "This necklace is really too precious." ”

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that you have solved the great trouble in his heart for him, and the reward is naturally rich." ”

It's not just rich, it's just too rich.

What was the name of the Tongtong River in the future? It was called the Songhua River! The pearls produced in this place were called Dongzhu in the Qing Dynasty!

What about fire jade?

It was the ruby that came later!

With three hundred and sixty-five identical pearls and twelve rubies like pigeon's blood, the value of this necklace is immeasurable!

Wang Chen carefully took this string of pearls and observed, the diameter of each east pearl is between 15mm-20mm, which is definitely large among the freshwater pearls, and each one is perfectly round, you must know that in modern society, more than 8mm is considered a large pearl, more than 11mm is rare, and this necklace, a full 365 15mm-20mm freshwater pearls are made, you can imagine how precious it is.

And that's not even counting the twelve pigeon's blood rubies!

You must know that a pigeon's blood ruby that Wang Chen put at Sotheby's auction is estimated to be tens of millions, and each of these twelve pigeon blood rubies is no smaller than the one he put at Sotheby's auction.

Wang Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and thanked him in his mouth: "I'm worried about Your Majesty." ”

The little eunuch pursed his lips and smiled, "There is one more thing, Doctor Wang, let's see." ”

Wang Chen looked sideways and almost fainted, because there was a "glass" in front of him, and he said speechlessly: "This is also a reward from His Majesty?"

"Yes. The little eunuch didn't pay attention to his expression, and introduced very enthusiastically: "This is a crystal cup from the Warring States period, and the rarity is that it is made of a whole piece of crystal. ”

Yes?

Is this a cup made of pure crystal?

Wang Chen paid attention to it, put down the pearl necklace, and held the crystal cup with both hands to watch.

This crystal cup is about 15 centimeters high, the diameter is about 8 centimeters, the bottom diameter is about 6 centimeters, the open lip is flat, the wall of the cup is oblique and straight in the shape of a trumpet, the bottom is round, and the circle foot is outward, which resembles a modern glass. The whole body of the cup is plain and simple, transparent and undecorated, the whole vessel is slightly light amber, the surface of the vessel is polished, and there are sponge-like natural crystals in the middle and bottom of the vessel.

Eh, how do you look more familiar?

Slowly, how can this crystal cup look more and more like the national treasure-level cultural relics crystal cup unearthed in Shitang Village, Banshan Town, Hangzhou?

And it seems that this crystal cup is slightly larger than the one placed in the Hangzhou Cultural Relics Bureau.

No way.

Lao Zhao is so big.

Wang Chen's heart was pounding, and he refused to put it down anymore while holding the crystal cup.

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Doctor Wang is still satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, couldn't have been more satisfied. Wang Chen couldn't put it down with the crystal cup, and then he called his subordinates loudly and rewarded the little eunuch and his entourage.

Ha ha.

Lao Zhao gave himself these three things are better than the same, buddy is rich.

These three things, any thing to be auctioned in modern society, can definitely be auctioned at a terrifying sky-high price, but Wang Chen will definitely not take it to auction, whether it is a golden threaded clothes, Dongzhu necklace or crystal cups, they are all precious and abnormal treasures, this kind of treasure even the big domestic collector Ma Wei does not have!

When I first got the mysterious space, I thought about being a time-space dealer, how could I become more and more like a big collector after more than half a year?

Anyway, Wang Chen was very excited about today's harvest, and even a little ashamed, Lao Zhao gave so many good things, but he wanted to kill Lao Zhao, but after thinking about it, he knew that this was Lao Zhao's imperial mental technique, because he solved Lao Zhao's stubborn illness for twenty or thirty years, the other party did not let go of any power, did not give Wang Chen a promotion, but only rewarded some "things outside the body", obviously did not want to let go of himself.

Wang Chen is not a fool, he will not be carried away by Xiao En Xiaohui, regardless of his previous suspicions, hey, Lao Zhao will take the reward himself, forget the rest, just do what you want.

The craftsmen who mined the jadeite were almost gathered.

Lao Zhao rewarded three more valuable treasures.

The king of Bagan took 100,000 yuan and promised to mine jadeite himself.

Good things come and go.

For a while, Wang Chen was in a wonderful mood, as if his luck had not been bad recently, could it be the reason for the New Year? Well, the new year is about to start, and it is good to encounter good things again and again, Wang Chen feels that he should develop very well this year, come on, Sao New Year.
