Chapter 518 Records are meant to be broken
The appearance of Shinichi Kujo surprised everyone.
Except for Wang Fugui and Wang Xuance, basically no one can remember this former deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if some people think it's a little familiar, they don't take it too seriously.
People are stupid and have a lot of money.
At present, Shinichi Kujo feels like this to everyone.
10,000 yuan.
Just buy a grandfather clock?
Is it really money that is not money?
Wang Fugui stood on the stage, and he didn't have time to pay attention to everyone's reaction for the time being, so he would like to go on with this auction first.
However, with Jiujo Shinichi, which is not a trust, it is off to a good start, and the next filming of ** Wang Fugui imagined that it would be much smoother.
Of course, the situation of 10,000 is no longer there.
However, the table clock numbered 002 also sold for a sky-high price of 5,000 yuan, which once again refreshed everyone's understanding.
There are these two benchmarks out there, and in the end all the grandfather clocks auctioned, none of them are less than a thousand dollars.
Even if a large number of gold and silver coins have appeared in circulation in the market now, collecting so much money at once still makes the account office of the Treasure Pavilion scramble.
That is to say, the treasure pavilion is the industry of the Chu Palace, if it is replaced by an ordinary business, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep tonight.
So much money must not be remembered by thieves?
"Lang Jun, I have inquired clearly, the Japanese people are called Kujo Shinichi, who is the new batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, and they just arrived yesterday. It is said that these nine letters were members of the first batch of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, and they wanted to have a certain understanding of the situation in Chang'an City.
I heard that the influence of the Chu Wangfu in the Wa Kingdom was huge, and these nine letters should be to show their support, so they spent a lot of money to take pictures of this clock. ”
The Cui family has a big business, and it is very quick to inquire about a little news.
"Hmph, the East China Sea fishery is now in the country of the Japanese people, these people know that they are afraid of the soft, the more they are bullied by the East China Sea fishery, the more they take people seriously. Forget it, leave him alone for now. ”
When this kind of thing happens, Cui Qing can't do anything for a while.
……
"Xiang'er, the business of this bell is so hot, you said that I will help you transport it to Jiangnan Province to sell, is it a win-win situation?"
Gu Panpan will naturally not miss this kind of lively activity.
Although she Aya had urged her to return to Yangzhou many times, Gu Panpan was indifferent.
Of course, after half a year, it is not a matter of delaying it any longer, so sooner or later she will have to go back.
After making your thoughts clear, you can stay in Chang'an City for a long time in the future.
"Panpan, I don't have an opinion on this matter, the treasure pavilion only has a branch in Hangzhou, and other places have not yet opened, so it is not impossible to entrust you to sell the table clock. However, you have to discuss it with the king's steward, or you can ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu directly. ”
Xiang'er, as Li Kuan's maidservant, naturally knew about Gu Panpan's close relationship with the Chu Palace.
Besides, Gu Panpan's proposal is indeed a win-win proposal.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to His Royal Highness the King of Chu later. He often went to the watch workshop just after the New Year, and he must have hoped to sell more of this clock. ”
Gu Panpan is very confident in his judgment.
Of course, the most important thing is that she is confident in the usefulness of the grandfather clock.
The richer the family, the higher the requirement for accurate time.
She was sure that as long as she brought these grandfather clocks to Jiangnan, she would be able to sell at least a few hundred in Yangzhou alone.
……
"Kujou-kun, although this bell looks very remarkable, but 10,000 times, isn't it a bit too high?"
Kujo Shinichi's side, a person who seemed to have quite a status among the Japanese people said there.
"Konoe-kun, it's the first time you've come to Datang, you probably don't know the meaning behind this treasure pavilion. Whether the bell itself is worth 10,000 yuan, I won't mention it. Actually, if I had shipped it back to Nara, I would have been able to sell it for 10,000 kan, but that's not why I bought it. ”
Although Kujo Shinichi was the main envoy of the Tang envoy this time, he still seriously explained the question of the deputy envoy of Konoe Hideki.
After all, the Konoe family is also a large number of nobles within the Wa Kingdom, and their influence is not much worse than that of the Kujo family.
Now the relationship between the two families is still close after all, and there is no need to be dirty because of some trivial things.
"Oh, is there any other reason? Could it be that this treasure pavilion is a noble property in Chang'an City? ”
Hideki Konoe looked at Shinichi Kujou with a curious expression.
"The famous big shops in the east and west cities have the shadow of nobility behind them, and this treasure pavilion is naturally no exception. Konoe-kun, you should be well aware of the influence of the fishing industry in the East China Sea, right? This treasure pavilion and the fishing industry in the East China Sea are both the industries of His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, when we went ashore in Dengzhou, half of the large number of workshops we saw were also the property of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. I heard that in Liangzhou City, there are many workshops in the Chu Palace. Whether or not we can achieve good results on this mission basically depends on what His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants us to get. ”
"So, this bell should be produced in the workshop under His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and then put it on sale in his own treasure pavilion, Jiujo Jun spent a lot of money to photograph this first table clock, in fact, it is equivalent to giving a generous gift to His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"
Hideki Konoe was not stupid, and quickly figured out the relationship.
"That's right, if we send 10,000 yuan of money directly to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, people won't take a second look at it at all. But when we take this 10,000 yuan to auction the table clock, the meaning is different. ”
Kujou Shinichi couldn't help but give a thumbs up for his actions.
Although he still prepared a generous gift for tomorrow's visit, it is more effective than any generous gift to draw 10,000 yuan to buy a lottery head.
"In this way, don't say 10,000 guan, if someone increases the price, even if it's 20,000 guan each, Kujou-kun will also take a picture of this table clock?"
"That's right, it doesn't matter how much money you have, the important thing is to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu feel our sincerity."
"I heard that the sons-in-law and daughter-in-law of Jiutiaojun's family are in the Tang Dynasty, before we go to visit His Royal Highness the King of Chu, do we meet them first?"
Konoe Hideki took this opportunity to clarify the situation faced by the Tang envoy in Chang'an with Kujo Shinichi.
Otherwise, he, as a deputy envoy, would really only have the share of a layman.
"I'm ashamed to say that it's been a long time since I've heard from Xingxiang and Hiroyuki. When I visit the Chu Palace, I'll ask again. However, they are by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and they are serving people, so you don't expect to be able to rely on them for any help, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.
Nobuyuki Kujo had to spend a lot of money to win the support of the East China Sea fishing industry, and naturally he didn't want to use this relationship for the sake of the state affairs of the Japanese state.
Anyway, he has already figured it out now, if the Jiujo family can't get along in the Wa Kingdom in the future, he will go to Chang'an City to join the Chu Palace, which can be regarded as a back road he left for the family.
"I heard a piece of news today, I don't know if it's true."
Konoe looked at Kujou with a complicated face, "Chang'an City recently produced a female doctor, whose name is Kujou Xingxiang, I remember that Kujou-kun's daughter is called by this name, right?" ”
"Goddess Doctor? Xingxiang didn't know how to use medicine before. ”
Shinichi Kujo was also a little confused.
"She has been coming to Datang for several years, even if she didn't understand it at the beginning, it's normal to understand it now. You said that if Xingxiang was allowed to return to China with us at that time, would she be able to teach a group of disciples? ”
"This ...... It may be necessary to discuss it in the long run. ”
Kujou naturally knew what Konoe was up to.
This is definitely a good thing for the Wa Kingdom, but it's hard to say whether it's a good thing for the Kujo family.
Let's not talk about whether Xingxiang is willing to go back with her, even if she wills, it's hard to say if Li Kuantong disagrees.
With Jiutiao's understanding of Li Kuan, this kind of talent with special skills, Li Kuan must not want them to leave Datang.
Jiujo didn't seem to have ruined his good relationship with the Chu Wangfu because of this incident.
……
The shocking scene of the auction of the Treasure Pavilion soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
In an auction, the transaction amount exceeded 200,000 yuan, which is a figure that everyone could not have imagined before.
"Xu joins the army, are you saying that in this auction alone, that Lang Qing can get 10,000 yuan?"
Liu Jie couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This number is simply exaggerated.
"Almost, the prince's daughter buys bones, this auction did not let the treasure pavilion charge any fees, all as the income of the watch workshop. That Langqing has five percent of the watch workshop, and it is normal to be able to get 10,000 yuan. ”
Xu Senjun is not so keen on the pursuit of money now, so he will not envy and envy Lang Qing's situation of getting rich overnight.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is a little stone into gold, a simple table clock can be sold for such a sky-high price."
As a person from Guanshishan Academy, Liu Jie naturally knew the situation of the watch workshop, and knew that the cost of the table clock was far less exaggerated than the auction price.
"That's what the prince wants. With the case of Langqing here, other students, or craftsmen from various workshops, must be enthusiastic about researching and developing new things. Even some outstanding students who are preparing to enter the officialdom or workshop after graduation may choose to stay in Guanshishan Academy to continue to engage in various research work. ”
To some extent, Xu Jingzong felt that he was also the winner of this auction.
The more outstanding students left in the academy, the greater his influence in the future, and the more noble his status as the actual head of the academy will be.
"That's true, I don't think everyone will laugh at the students of Gewu Academy in the future. After this amount of money reaches a certain amount, the impact it brings is completely different. ”
Just when Liu Jie let out this exclamation, Changsun Chong was a little depressed and communicating with Changsun Wuji.
"Aya, did you really decide to start Gewu Academy in Weishui Academy as well?"
"Chong'er, when we do things, we must pay attention to following the trend. At the auction of the Treasure Pavilion this morning, you have also heard that a table clock was sold at a sky-high price, and there is a noble family in Chang'an City that can make as much money as someone else makes in a day? ”
Even the eldest grandson Wuji was jealous of Li Kuan's earning ability.
Earning 200,000 yuan a day is something that everyone couldn't think of before.
Now it appears so vividly in front of everyone.
The key is that there are many noble and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, and they are still the contributors of more than 200,000 yuan.
"But this Gewu Academy is all studying the things of craftsmen, will the promotion of this kind of strange and obscene skills affect the atmosphere of our academy?"
"Chong'er, the so-called strange lewd technique, is just a term used by Confucianism to improve one's status, you have to look at the essence through the problem. If you really want to talk about it, isn't our iron-making workshop also a strange skill? ”
As soon as Eldest Sun Wuji's words came out, Eldest Sun Chong was completely speechless.
The nobles of Chang'an City, who has nothing to do with "strange lewd skills"?
"If this is the case, then our Gewu Academy can only study with Guanshishan Academy, otherwise it will be very difficult and unrealistic for many theories to be completely created."
"Guanshishan Academy is doing well, let's follow suit, what's so embarrassing? Didn't Li Kuan want everyone to help him improve the influence of Gewu Academy? He will definitely not stop Weishui Academy from following suit, on the contrary, maybe he will provide some support. ”
The pattern of the eldest grandson Wuji's view of the problem is naturally different from that of the eldest grandson.
He knew very well that this Gewu Academy should be set up as soon as possible, which would be beneficial to everyone.
……
"Lord Wang, the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty by the Wa Kingdom is here again, this time it is Kujo Shinichi as the chief envoy, and the porter has received his greetings."
After Wang Xuance came back from the auction site, he reported to Li Kuan about today's situation.
"Shinichi Kujo? You just said that he also auctioned off the first grandfather clock? ”
"That's right, the only table clock worth 10,000 yuan today was snatched from Cui Qing by Kujou Shinichi. It is estimated that because of this incident, he also offended the Qinghe Cui family. ”
When Wang Xuance said this, he glanced at Cheng Jingwen, who was sitting next to Li Kuan, but she didn't react.
She is the daughter of the Cheng family, and now she is married to a wife, so she naturally knows her position very well in her heart.
Otherwise, Li Kuan and Qinghe Cui had so many open and secret battles before, and she would have died of sorrow.
"This guy knows how to cheat. Then let's meet him tomorrow and see what he came to Datang for this time. By the way, let Xingxiang also come back from medical school and meet her Aye. ”
Li Kuan didn't have a good impression of the Tang envoys sent by the Japanese State, and to put it nicely, these people came to pay tribute.
To put it mildly, these people are actually here to steal teachers.
However, now the envoy who sent the Tang envoy is Jiutian Xinyi, but he can see it.
"Kujo Shinichi should know the attitude of the prince, but I don't know if some of his people will be ghosts. I see that a Japanese who participated in the auction with him today does not seem to have a lower status than him. ”
Wang Xuance told all the news he had.
"When the time comes, you can look at it, if you know each other, then stay in Chang'an City, if you don't know each other, there are so many accidents in Chang'an City every day, and he is not bad."
Li Kuan was not interested in asking who the entourage around Kujo Shinichi was.
Even the emperor didn't pay attention to him, what are the others?
