Emperor Hongzhi was even more angry, he had already issued an order to hand over the collapsed house in the northwest to Yan Chengjin, and Zhou Yu dared to resist the decree.

Then he ordered the Jinyi guard to bring Zhou Yu back to the palace, and Zhou Yu ordered before leaving: "The old man of the sugar recipe bought it, and he will order someone to send silver in a while." ”

"Xia Guan likes to do business with honest people like the lord." Yan Chengjin Road.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head: "Yan Chengjin, you also enter the palace with me!" ”

The gentry were silent, and Yan Chengjin whispered to Zhang Xian: "The official sale continues, and it will be sold for 200,000 taels." ”

The design of the big treasure ship can be sold for at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Although the gentry could not build their own ships, they could sell them to the Franco, who had silver, and the shipbuilding technology was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if they were to give them the drawings, they wouldn't be able to make them.

This design drawing is the original version of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and many of the handwriting is blurred and cannot be seen at all.

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi changed into a dragon robe and sat upright: "How many bribes did you receive when you went to the northwest?" ”

"It's not much, it's all used to build collapsed houses, Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know it's Qin Xi." Zhou Yu was afraid of being beaten by the court rod and begged.

Yan Chengjin interceded for him: "Chang Ningbo really doesn't know if he wants to come, otherwise, how dare he sell it in public." ”

Zhou Yu cast a grateful glance at Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry that Changningbo left Beijing without authorization and went to the northwest to loot the people's silver taels as a relative.

For a long time, it has been extremely difficult to control the relatives, Wan Xi and Wan An, the relatives of the former dynasty, went south to Guangdong to purchase but did not give two silver, how many merchants died, Emperor Hongzhi still remembers it vividly, and he cannot repeat the mistakes of the past.

"I spared you this time, if you do it again next time, I will never forgive, I promised Yan Qing's family the collapse of the house in the northwest, you still dare to disobey my will, I see that you don't even want your life for the sake of silver!"

I want money, and I want my life!

Zhou Yu listened to Emperor Hongzhi's reprimand, but he didn't dare to refute it, and with His Majesty's habits, he disappeared after venting his anger.

After Emperor Hongzhi finished teaching him, he raised his head slightly: "Your Majesty, can the minister retire?" ”

The recipe for white sugar has not yet been obtained, and I am afraid that it will be taken away by the Zhang brothers when it is too late.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The collapsed houses in the northwest are all attributed to the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce. ”

Behind the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is the Liangxiang Yamen, Zhang Xian is an upright person, and in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, he is more credible than Zhou Yu.

The Silk Road in the northwest is far away from the emperor and the imperial court.

In this way, a fair mechanism is needed, and only when it is handed over to Zhang Xian can he rest assured.

took over, Yan Chengjin was secretly happy in his heart: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

This kid picked up a big bargain, Zhou Yu didn't feel much distressed, and the big head of the silver was the gentry of the northwest.

Out of the palace gate, he hurried to Liangxiang again, and heard that the manufacturing process of the shuttle should also be sold, but don't be robbed.

After Zhou Yu left, Emperor Hongzhi looked carefully: "Can you identify the authenticity of this Qin seal?" ”

According to historical records, a real jade seal appeared during the Hongzhi period, but it was mistaken for a fake seal by the Hongzhi Emperor.

It should be this one.

The exploration and mining technology of the Ming Dynasty is not developed, it is difficult to see such a large piece of jade, and if you get such a large piece of jade, a fool will make it into a jade seal.

If there is a man-made fake seal to rebel, it should be collected, and when the time is ripe, it should be taken out and used, how can it be dedicated to Changningbo.

And so far, there is no discussion about the jade seal in the market.

The most important thing is that this jade seal is from Shaanxi!

After careful scrutiny, Yan Chengjin came to the conclusion that this was a real seal.

Xiao Jing held the brocade plate and took the jade seal down, and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others carefully looked at it.

"The base of this jade seal is four inches, the sitting beast is five dragons, and the inscription is a seal character, which is consistent with the Qin seal recorded in the book."

"It's just the old and the new...... The minister knew very little about antiques and did not dare to assert it. ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang said one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi pinned his hopes on Zeng Jian: "Can the Ministry of Industry have a way to identify?" ”

Zeng Jian looked at the jade seal, shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Industry is good at supervising the making, and I know very little about jade. ”

Emperor Hongji and his ministers fell into deep thought.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty, please ask the most famous jade craftsman in the capital, you will know at a glance." ”

The method of identification in later generations is to tie hair to a stone.

This method is pure nonsense, because it is tied to the fake jade, and it is also constantly burning.

Emperor Hongzhi had some doubts: "The jade craftsman in the market is credible? ”

"The craftsmen in the workshop have very few books, so they may not know that it is a jade seal, but they can determine the authenticity of this jade and its dynasty.

If it is identified as real jade, and it is a thing of the Qin period, you can conclude that it is a Qin seal without asking too much. ”

The jade seal is a thing in the court, and the people may not know what it looks like, but the jade craftsman can see the dynasty of the jade.

A moment later, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and others all appeared in the Yan Mansion.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang had come to Yanfu, but it was the first time that Liu Jian, Han Wen and others came, and the two looked around and opened their eyes.

Liu Jian said with emotion: "Lord Yan has been living in this small and dilapidated courtyard? ”

Emperor Hongzhi was interested: "Yan Qing's family is very straightforward!" ”

His Majesty knows that there is a courtyard behind him, but he still praises him like this, it seems... It's sincere.

Yan Chengjin had a sad face.

In order not to let the craftsman recognize this as a jade seal, he advised to identify it outside the palace, and Emperor Hongzhi chose his mansion.

Yan Chengjin said: "The house is cold, please take care of the princes, please be careful when you sit down, the furniture is in disrepair, it doesn't matter if you sit down, you are afraid of breaking the princes." ”

In the main hall, there are two new chairs, which are where the Yan family father and son sit on weekdays.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and Yan Chengjin sat down.

Liu Jian and the others snorted dissatisfiedly and sat down one after another.

"When will the craftsman come?" Emperor Hongji asked.

"The minister has sent someone to invite him." When he left the palace just now, he sent He Neng to go.

At this moment, outside the gate of the house.

He Neng led the famous old jade craftsman in Xicheng back to his house, and carefully advised: "I will see you masters for a while, no matter which dynasty the jade comes from, you can say that it is the Qin Dynasty." ”

The old jade craftsman said unhappily: "Didn't you call the old man a liar?" The old man is not going! ”

He could take out a hundred taels of silver from his bosom and stuff it into his hand.

The old jade craftsman's eyes lit up, he took the silver over and weighed it, and said happily: "You're right, it's from the Qin Dynasty!" ”

After repeated instructions, how could he lead the old jade craftsman into the mansion, "Young master, masters, the people have brought it back." ”

Emperor Hongzhi took out the jade seal, and Xiao Jing presented it to the old jade craftsman.

The old jade craftsman touched the jade body, looking like he was enjoying it.

Then, he took out a magnifying glass and looked around at the jade, and looked at it for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward and asked, "Old man, which dynasty did this jade come from?" ”

The old jade craftsman looked at the magnifying glass and was amazed: "Don't lie, this is the jade of Qin Shi!" ”

What does it mean not to lie?!

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin with a meaningful gaze.

Yan Chengjin said humbly: "The old gentleman is a famous jade craftsman in Xicheng, he said that it is a thing of Qin Shi, and it should be the jade of Qin Shi." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was quite excited, the Tang Dynasty looked for this jade seal for more than 200 years, and the Song Dynasty looked for more than 300 years.

Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen were both looking for this piece of jade, but neither could find it.

The jade seal carved by himself is not rightly named.

Qin Xi has been passed down for several dynasties, and only when you get this jade seal can you truly be called a person chosen by God!
