Qianlong didn't make sure with Hao Jun, because he wasn't sure how many unpleasant tribute jade in the treasury could really be willing to part with love.

Hao Jun's more than 200 pieces of small jade made by modern craftsmanship were left to him together, which made them marvel at the complicated craftsmanship that cannot be achieved today.

Of course, Qianlong knew countless jade, and also found that the jade quality was not good, and he felt sorry for it, and complained fiercely for more than an hour.

Hao Jun guessed that he complained so fiercely because he wanted to reduce the price, so he reported the bid of the shopkeeper Xi to him, and made it clear that only ten taels of it were for the jade piece itself.

Qianlong felt that the price was fair, after all, this was also Hao Jun's wholesale price, so that this batch of small jade pieces was worth more than 40,000 taels in total, which was drizzle compared to those night pearls......

On the morning of the second and third days, Hao Jun went out to look for people in a high-profile manner as usual, and in the afternoon he was anxiously looking forward to the news from Qianlong, Qianlong had already made it clear that the government and the opposition had returned to Beijing, but don't drag things out, he couldn't stay here for a few days!

Finally, the news came in the evening, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Ji Xiaolan will present auspicious rui on behalf of Ji Xiaolan in the morning, and then carry out a series of procedures that Hao Jun can not participate in, and he can finish his work in the afternoon, Hao Jun can enter the palace in the afternoon, and go to "check out" with Qianlong......

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Hao Jun could finally face Qianlong's warehouse, and Qianlong personally led Hao Jun to inspect the collection.

Along the way, Hao Jun was amazed, and sure enough, Qianlong's collection was unprecedentedly rich, and the rare treasures were unparalleled in the world!

According to the history books, judging from the number of collections, Qianlong surpassed any previous emperor and was the largest collector in the history of the land of China, with a wide range of interests in collecting, and the huge project was like a fantasy, and there were more than 10,000 paintings of celebrities decorating the Forbidden City alone! It really responded to the old saying that "there is no one before and no one after him", which not only shows the strength of the national strength of the Qianlong era, but also embodies the Qianlong Emperor's pursuit of grandeur and gorgeous and complicated aesthetic taste.

Because the national strength is strong, the country is relatively stable, and Qianlong has the conditions to indulge in collecting. Like his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, he toured the south six times in his life. Through these cruises, you have used your privilege to collect a lot of art.

It was rumored that there was a famous art collector in Jiangnan at that time who had some precious calligraphy and paintings, and he knew that Emperor Qianlong was fond of collecting and was determined to obtain private collections, so he asked skilled painters to copy his most precious collections. In case Qianlong fell in love with a painting, he would give him a copy of that painting, and the original work could be kept for himself.

In addition to the legacy of his father and ancestors, most of the fine art collected by Emperor Qianlong came from the tribute of his servants and foreign envoys. For example, during the second southern tour, Shen Deqian, a Jiangnan bigwig, went to pick up the driver, and presented seven precious celebrity paintings and calligraphy at one time. When Li Shiyao, the governor who was favored by Qianlong for his tribute, was convicted of raiding his home, he copied three golden Buddhas, a pearl grape, and three coral trees, all of which were intended to be presented to him as tribute.

Despite the staggering amount of art in Emperor Qianlong's collection, most people in the collecting industry did not think of him as a gifted art connoisseur. For example, all his life, he relied only on inscriptions and seals to judge the authenticity of a painting, not because of limited experience, but because he hated to judge the artistic style by means of research, and even did not have the ability to make such judgments.

Qianlong also always likes to express his opinions on the masterpieces of the previous generations, often stamping the "Treasure of Qianlong's Imperial Reward", "Sanxitang Jingjian Seal", "Yi Descendants" and other seals, and even the largest imperial seal on it.

Therefore, some people describe Qianlong as an energetic, tireless, and unsatisfied art collector, a stingy and arbitrary art connoisseur, a man who constantly inscribes and seals his paintings and calligraphy, determined to leave an indelible trace in the history of Chinese art. His seal almost completely destroyed the finest paintings in the imperial collection, and only a handful of masterpieces of art were not taken within the walls of the Forbidden City to preserve their original appearance......

Hao Jun was led around by Qianlong until dusk, but he didn't see much Hetian jade, and then he realized that Qianlong was still reluctant to trade Hetian jade to himself, and deliberately led himself to look at other collections first, hoping that he would be tempted and give up the idea of taking Hetian jade.

Qianlong was not embarrassed after being broken by Hao Jun, and told Hao Jun that the market value of some of the collections could be five, eight or even ten times the value of the night pearl offered by Hao Jun.

Hao Jun simply shook his head and refused.

It's not that these collections are worthless in Hao Jun's eyes, but that Hao Jun is difficult to sell!

For example, the god face pattern jade gui, which belongs to the late Neolithic period, is really valuable.

However, when Qianlong was fond of this jade gui, he once ordered the jade worker to engrave a comment from him in the official script where the jade gui was not decorated: "It is the jade people who call it 'Yuanhuang Tianfu'." According to the records of Tang Su Zongben, Chuzhou offers treasure jade thirteen, one is called 'Yuan Huang Tianfu', which is made on the top of the circle and below, and there are holes near the circle. Now it is a jade top and bottom, with two holes, the regulation is not good, and the descendants will attach it to the cloud. ”

In addition, between the two holes and at the top of the jade gyu, there are also engraved seals such as "Five Blessings and Five Generations of Tang Guxi Tianzi Bao". The other side of Yugui was also engraved with a five-character poem by Qianlong in Lishu.

Destroying the jade so indecently, Hao Jun's collectors in the main time and space are already familiar with it, it is impossible for such a large jade to be exactly the same, what does Hao Jun take it back for?

For example, Dong Qichang's calligraphy and Tang Bohu's landscapes have all been inscribed and stamped by Qianlong, Hao Jun's main time and space have already been auctioned, changed hands, and auctioned again, collectors have an impression, what does Hao Jun do when he takes it back?

Let's have a battle between the truth and the fake in the collecting and academic circles? The money is not easy to get! Isn't it asking for trouble?

Therefore, the Hetian jade that Hao Jun wants to take away must not have too much cultural heritage that people talk about, and it is best to mention it in the history books but it is not clearly recorded, such things are not easy to sell, and the money comes quickly.

Of course, the higher the quality of jade, the better, if there is white jade to take, resolutely do not want green and white jade.

And Hao Jun's time is too tight, he has to leave here the day after tomorrow, this day is delayed!

Under Hao Jun's solemn protest, Qianlong had no choice but to promise Hao Jun that he would let him see those tribute jades tomorrow afternoon......

On the morning of March 9, Hao Jun boarded Lu Yan's carriage and embarked on the return journey.

Behind their car, Lu Kai arranged seven carriages to pull Hao Jun's harvest from this trip.

There were twenty large wooden boxes filled with jadeite rough stones, three copper boxes containing Zigang cards, and ten boxes of tribute jade with a total value of three million taels of silver obtained from Qianlong.
