Chapter 209: Earned 32,000 gold
Li Shimin sighed helplessly again, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Li Bai was born in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and Du Fu was born in the troubled era of the Tang Dynasty.
One is a poet and the other is a poet.
Li Chengfeng only needs to take their poems and copy them!
Take out their famous poems and phrases, isn't that one Wang Bang?
Immediately, these ministers and Li Shimin burst into tears!
"Haha, the Eighth Prince was able to make such a poem at a young age, but the Eighth Prince was gifted and intelligent, Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is recognized by everyone as the number one prodigy in the world, so we are only surprised that the Eighth Prince can write such a poem, but we don't think it's strange!" Wei Zheng also clenched his fists and said.
Li Shimin nodded and shouted a few more hellos.
And Li Chengfeng was on the podium, waving his little hands, and said: "500 gold is low, and the auction of "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" has begun, is there anyone asking for the price?" ”
"Lao Chen is willing to pay 800 gold to buy!" Wei Zheng was the first to raise his hand.
"The old minister pays a thousand gold!" Du Ruhui said the second. He thought that this time, he would buy a poem of the Eighth Emperor no matter what.
Before, they all thought that the low price of 500 gold was too expensive, but now they realized that these poems were priceless in the market, and they could not buy them with money!
As a result, one by one, the ministers began to scramble, treating them as treasures, desperately bidding, auctioning off the calligraphy and paintings in Li Chengfeng's hands.
In the end, this "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" fell into Wei Zheng's hands at a price of 2,800 gold.
In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to shout the price, but Li Shimin felt that he had already obtained a painting of "Will Enter the Wine", and let the ministers auction the rest of the wine.
In addition, Li Chengfeng will exchange the auction money for rice and donate it to the poor people who migrated from Youzhou City, so Li Shimin discovered Li Chengfeng's thoughts and immediately felt Li Chengfeng's good intentions!
……
The auction lasted all day, and Li Chengfeng was busy from about eight o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock in the evening.
After lunch, the poems were still auctioned, and it was not until the evening that Li Chengfeng began to auction the paintings.
Although, Li Chengfeng's painting is very good.
However, in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the appreciation of paintings is far less than that of poetry and handwriting.
In the end, the landscape ink painting was sold for 1,000 gold, and the painting "Golden Dragon" was bought by Li Shimin for 2,500 gold.
At the end of the auction, Li Chengfeng finally sold the ten poems and five paintings in his hand.
But the price at which the painting was bought was far less than the price at which the psalm was sold.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead: "Whew, it's really unlucky, if I knew it, I would have written more poems instead of drawing!" Painting is tired and cumbersome, isn't it fragrant for me to be a copyist? ”
Li Chengfeng muttered to himself.
But all in all, he still made a fortune today.
Li Chengfeng calculated that the most expensive "Spring Hope" was bought for 3,000 gold, the cheapest landscape ink painting was sold for 1,000 gold, and the other poems and paintings were sold for about 2,000 gold.
This is far beyond Li Chengfeng's imagination.
Before, Li Chengfeng felt that as long as the bid reached 1,500 gold, he would not lose too much, but later, after Li Chengfeng's promotion, the price actually rose by about 500 gold?
And this auction is far beyond the money that Li Chengfeng expected to get.
Originally, Li Chengfeng planned to buy 20,000 gold without losing money, but at this moment, he calculated carefully and actually auctioned off about 32,000 gold?
That's a lot of money!
Li Chengfeng's face is happy!
"Hahaha, the ministers' auction is over, and in the hands of this prince, there is not a single calligraphy and painting left! Finish the work, let's go home and have a good rest, good night, this prince will go first! ”
After speaking, Li Chengfeng was greatly lazy.
When he was about to walk out of the Wenxuan Pavilion, he didn't forget to turn around and say: "Ministers, and my father, remember to send the auction money to my Zhenwang Mansion tomorrow!" As I said, my money is used to help the ordinary people of Youzhou City, if anyone defaults on the bills, then don't blame me Li Chengfeng for being unkind!"
"Haha, don't worry, the Eighth Prince, how can we repay the debt?"
"Yes, Eighth Prince, you can wait in the Zhenwang Mansion tomorrow, the old ministers, you will send money over!"
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng said in unison.
Li Chengfeng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, the prince is waiting for you in the Zhenwang Mansion!" ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, when Li Chengfeng woke up from the bed, he saw many ministers, and they all ordered their subordinates to carry a lot of gold to the courtyard of the Zhenwang Mansion.
They were all talking and laughing over there.
When Li Chengfeng walked out of the bedroom door, Li Lizhen and Wu Xu instantly surrounded him.
I saw two little girls, looking at Li Chengfeng with a smile, and said, "Brother Feng'er, you are so powerful, in just one day, you have earned more than 30,000 gold!" ”
"Yes, Eighth Prince, I thought that those poems were worthless, but I didn't expect them to be sold at such a high price? This money is money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime! ”
Wu Xu looked at Li Chengfeng with shining eyes, and admired it in his heart.
Li Li asked: "More than 30,000 gold, let alone an ordinary person's life, even if it is ten lifetimes, you can't earn so much money!" ”
"yes!"
Li Chengfeng smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and said, "Actually, the first auction is worth a lot, if I do an auction next time, I may not be able to sell it for such a high price!" ”
"Huh? Why, Eighth Prince, if you want, can't you just compose a poem and sell it for thousands of gold? ”
Wu Xu asked suspiciously.
Li Chengfeng replied, "It's not like that! In fact, calligraphy and painting, you have to know a truth, that is, rare things are expensive! ”
"If I mass-produce too much, there's a good chance it won't be worth much! However, if the entire Tang Dynasty has only ten poems and five paintings, then these are unique products, and they will be even more valuable! ”
"Oh, I see, that's the truth, huh?" Wu Xu smiled slightly.
Li Lizhi also said: "Feng'er is worthy of being my younger brother, smart and mechanical!" ”
"Hmph, of course!"
……
"Eighth prince, the old minister's 3,000 gold will be placed in the courtyard of your town palace, if there is nothing else, the old minister will retire first!" Wei Chi Jingde clenched his fists and said to Li Chengfeng.
"It's a lot, let's go!" Li Chengfeng also waved his hand at him slightly.
Subsequently, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others also put down the money one by one and left the Zhenwang Mansion.
And Li Shimin, who then also entrusted Li Junxian with 4,000 gold.
