Chapter 060: A Great Harvest
Cheng Sihu fainted, causing the Metropolitan Tax Department to be in a hurry.
Zeng Huan and Fan Mingou felt that their faces were gloomy, and they held back their anger and didn't say anything, but just asked them to take Cheng Sihu down to take care of him.
Over there, Wang Jien had already talked to Wang Chen.
"Bu Zhouzi, can you take a step to speak?" Wang Jien pointed to a corner not far away.
Wang Chen knew that this eunuch was very awesome, not only could he fight, but he would be even more powerful in the future, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of Wang Jien's incomplete take-off relationship, and said with a smile while walking to the corner: "Princess, if you have anything important, just say it." ”
Zhou Zhi County is relatively far away.
If the speech is not too loud, it should not be heard.
Wang Jien glanced at it, lowered his voice and said, "The emperor asked me to ask, where did you get the clairvoyant mirror?"
Well?
Finally someone asks themselves where the item came from?
Wang Chen had already thought about this, pondered for a moment, and said, "This thing was obtained by me from a blonde-haired and blue-eyed man. "The overseas trade of the Song Dynasty was already very developed, and there were markets in Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Mingzhou and other places. Buying and selling foreign goods is a shortcut to making a fortune, and many scholars and doctors are also involved, such as Su Shi once sold several boats of Sumu into Sichuan, the son of Zheng Qingzhi, the prime minister of the Li Dynasty embezzled public funds to buy and sell foreign goods, and the general Zhang Jun once took out 500,000 pieces of family wealth to let an old slave go to sea to trade, and transported a boatload of pearl rhino incense medicine, which changed hands and made a profit dozens of times.
So Wang Chen is not afraid of his lies being exposed.
Sure enough, Wang Jien's eyes lit up, "Where is this Fan person?"
"I don't know, maybe I'll go back to another country. Wang Chen said with a mouth full of nonsense.
Wang Jien frowned slightly, "Where is his country?"
Southeast Asia, Arabia, Japan, Goryeo and East Africa and so on are traceable, Wang Chen will definitely not say, he thought for a while, pointed to the east and said: "According to the people of Nabo, the country where he is located is called the United States of America, 28,000 miles away from our Great Song Dynasty by sea, when he came, he was adrift at sea for more than a year, and he came to my Great Song Dynasty after nine deaths. ”
"Ah, 28,000 miles by sea, how far is that!" Wang Jien looked disappointed, and after half a sound, he shook his head helplessly, "It seems that the clairvoyant mirror can no longer be obtained, but it's a pity." ”
Wang Chen knew that Wang Jien was willing to talk to him more because of the telescope, and now he said that the telescope could no longer be obtained, for Wang Jien and the emperor, it was equivalent to losing the use value, and at best he would be a hereditary viscount without roots in duckweed in the future.
This is unacceptable to Wang Chen, in ancient times, it was not as good as entering the emperor's eyes to get in touch with anyone, seeing that Wang Jien was not interested and wanted to stop communicating, Wang Chen hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and bragged: "The clairvoyant mirror is not impossible to obtain." ”
"Huh?" Wang Jien looked at suspiciously.
Wang Chen said: "When the blonde and blue-eyed man left, he gave me a lot of skills, such as making clairvoyant mirrors, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and so on. ”
Wang Jien looked happy, "Is this true?"
"Really!" Wang Chen added, "The clairvoyant mirror is complicated to make, and I can't make it for a while, it takes time and manpower." ”
Wang Jien nodded, seemed to have written down the words, and said, "I will return to the emperor." As he spoke, he smiled and shook the Omega Speedmaster in his hand, "Is this called a watch?
Nima, do you want to take a stitch from the masses?
Seventy-six thousand bought, Wang Chen's heart was dripping blood, knowing what this eunuch meant, he endured the pain and barely squeezed out a smile, "Yes, this kind of timing artifact, I have long wanted to dedicate it to the emperor, but I have no way out, I saw my father-in-law today, I was relieved, and I wanted to borrow my father-in-law's hand to dedicate it to the emperor." ”
"Eh, a gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, how can the emperor force Bu Zhouzi's beloved things?" Wang Jien waved his hand.
Wang Chen was overjoyed, don't you really want it?
What I didn't expect was that Wang Jien was embarrassed in the next sentence, "Well, of course, it's okay to invest in the purchase." As he spoke, he took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into Wang Chen's hand, patted it, and said as a matter of course: "Here are ten taels of silver, you take it, and the emperor will pay for the watch." ”
What can you buy for ten taels of silver?
According to the price of more than three yuan and one gram of silver in modern society, even if this piece of silver does not contain any impurities at all, it will be sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
Dude's Omega Speedmaster bought 76,000!
Wang Chen was about to vomit blood, and said with a smile: "Thank you, princess." ”
"No thanks, it should be, when our family returns to the palace, we will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of the emperor, maybe the emperor will be happy, and maybe he will add a knight to Buzhou. Wang Jien pointed out.
No one is too high for a title, after all, in ancient times, status was too important, and when he heard Wang Jien give a promise, Wang Chen was not so painful, and said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your love." ”
Bu Zhouzi saw the outside. Wang Jien asked again: "Did the Fan people teach you how to make watches?"
Wang Chen: "......"
Well, I can't talk about this anymore.
The watch-making process is too complicated, and it also requires the use of various precision instruments, and it is impossible to dream of making it in the Northern Song Dynasty.
He only gags to fool around.
After half a ring, the two of them finished talking about important things and walked to the middle of the hall.
Tongzhou Zhizhou Zeng Huan, Huainan East Road transfer envoy Fan Mingou and Zhou Zhixian and others have long been waiting.
Wang Jien snorted and said, "Since the holy decree has been delivered, I will go back to Bianjing." As he spoke, he walked out.
At this time, Zhu Xiancheng hurriedly came to Wang Chen's side, "Have you given the prince money?"
"What kind of money?" Wang Chen said puzzled.
"My good nephew, hey!" Zhu Xiancheng was anxious, "People have come all the way from Bianjing to announce the good news to you, even if you send three or five hundred yuan to the prince in the name of the carriage and horse fare, otherwise he will get nothing, and he will hate you when he goes back, do you think there is still a good life?"
Wang Chen thought about it, but he didn't have so much money with him.
Seeing that Wang Jien walked to the edge of the threshold, it was too late to stop.
Wang Chen hurriedly spoke: "Father-in-law is slow. ”
Wang Jien turned his head and said with a smile: "Is there anything else going on with Bu Zhouzi?"
"It's getting late today, why don't you go to the cold house to stay overnight? The younger generation thanked the emperor for his love and sealed the founding son, and just set up a banquet to thank his father-in-law. Wang Chen was afraid that Wang Jien would not understand, so he added, "There are some rare products in my family that I don't understand, you are well-informed, and I want you to palm your eyes?"
Fan Mingou had the same invitation before, but unfortunately Wang Jien refused, and just when everyone thought that Wang Chen would eat the closed door, something unexpected happened.
Wang Jien was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Since Bu Zhouzi is warmly invited, if our family should not be rude, okay, I will stay at your house tonight." ”
Wang Chen was overjoyed and said, "Prince-in-law, please." After saying this, he thought that there were still a few senior officials present who could not be lazy, and invited again, "Fan Caosi, Zeng Zhizhou, Zhou Zhixian, uncle, Zhou County Lieutenant, go to my house for dinner together?"
"Good. ”
"Very good. ”
"I'll just be cheeky and have a meal, hehe. ”
Several people saw that they had the opportunity to contact Wang Jien more, and they all hurriedly agreed.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if the previous thing about Cheng Sihu fainting did not exist at all.
……
Just out of the house.
Wang Chen saw three wooden carts covered with red cloth outside, and he thought they were from the Metropolitan Taxation Department.
Who knows, Wang Jien pointed and said: "Bu Zhouzi, these are all things that the emperor has rewarded you, let's take an inventory." ”
Right.
I said it in the decree just now.
Wang Chen remembered that he was rewarded with ten thousand coins, two ginseng sticks, a number of Ganoderma lucidum, a set of four treasures of the study and a number of silk satin, and he said with three eyes on the counterfeit money: "No, the prince personally sent it, I don't have to worry about it, I don't have to check it." ”
Wang Jien said with a straight face: "This is not good, the things rewarded by the emperor must be counted in person." ”
At this point, it was impossible not to count on the spot, so Wang Chen had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go and count." ”
Wow, Jin Wanqian, how much does this cost?
Wang Chen was overjoyed and walked towards the first wooden car, lifted the red cloth and looked at it, only to see ten copper coins neatly arranged, he looked confused, lying down, what about the gold and ten thousand coins that he said? Why are all copper coins?
At this moment, he felt that Wang Jien had hacked his money.
I don't know if I saw him stunned, Zhu Xiancheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Nephew, you are not short of money, the ten yuan rewarded by the emperor should not be used, it should be enshrined at home, and the glory of the ancestors." ”
Wang Chen understood as soon as he heard it, oh, it turned out that Jin Wan Qian was 10,000 copper coins, he was a little faintly lost, Zhao Kuangyin was stingy enough, but he replied in his mouth: "Well, I know." ”
Then he lifted the red cloth of the second wooden cart, which was piled with colorful silk satin, which were of little value to Wang Chen, and he was not interested.
The third wooden cart has a small bag on it, and two yellow brocade boxes, one large and one small.
Wang Chen opened the bag first, a faint bitter taste came to his nose, he took a closer look, it was a small bag of purple Ganoderma lucidum, and weighed it in his hand, about two catties.
Wild purple lingzhi is not very valuable in modern society, he didn't look closely, put it back in the car, and then, opened the big brocade box.
There are four brushes made of tender yellow jade with a slight yellow-green tone, a red inkstone made of I don't know what material, very exquisite, I know at a glance that it is not ordinary, and a piece of black ink and a stack of more than 20 sheets of yellow and clear rice paper.
Wang Jien stepped forward and introduced: "The pen is a lake pen, a sheep hair, a wolf hair, a bottle and a purple hair, the pen body is made of Kunlun Mountain topaz, the ink is the world's first ink Li Mo, the former dynasty ink master Li Tingqi made, the inkstone is the phoenix blood stone of Lin'an Mansion tribute, after nine hundred and eighty-one top stonemasons made, as for these 20 pieces of rice paper, it is the Chengxintang paper that the lord of Jiangnan paid tribute last year. ”
it!
it!!
After listening to the introduction, Wang Chen only had one thought left in his heart, he made a fortune, he made a fortune!
Kunlun Mountain topaz, that is Hetian topaz, although I don't know if it's a seed material, but it is produced by the royal family, and it is estimated that it is not much worse.
There are also authentic Li Mo and Chengxintang paper, these are hard-to-find treasures, even if there is no historical precipitation, it is worth taking it out.
The most important thing, what did Wang Jien say just now?
The inkstone was made of phoenix bloodstone from Lin'an Mansion?
If you don't guess wrong, it should be made of Changhua bloodstone, and it is self-evident how expensive Changhua bloodstone is, right?
Wang Chen's heart was pounding non-stop, this time he no longer disliked Zhao Kuangyin's stinginess, generous, buddy likes a generous emperor like you.
There was only a small brocade box left.
He picked it up, opened it, and the two branches of ginseng lay there quietly.
Wang Chen's breath stopped, because these two ginseng were very similar to the ones he had sold to Expert Xu before, one of them had a round reed, and the other had two round reeds!
Is it a century-old wild ginseng?
