Chapter Ninety-Eight: Official Kiln Porcelain
Li Yibai wanted to buy official kiln porcelain, and he thought of one person, that is, Xue Jiade. Xue Jiade is in the antique business, and he is his own subordinate.
So Li Yibai came to Xue Jiade's shop.
Xue Jiade was very happy when he saw Li Yibai coming.
'Boss, you're here. I'm just going to look for you, too? โ
Li Yibai smiled faintly, "What are you looking for me?" โ
Xue Jiade smiled, "I sold two of the dragon balls you gave me, this is a big deal, I want to explain it to you." โ
Li Yibai smiled, "No need, you can make your own decisions about these things." I've come to you for something this time. โ
'Boss, if there is anything you command.' Xue Jiade bowed.
Li Yibai said, "I want to buy a batch of ancient kiln porcelain, do you have a way to get it?" โ
Xue Jiade frowned and shook his head, "It's too hard. I used to get one or two once in a while, and I was lucky. As a symbol of dignity and power, official porcelain is not circulated in the market. Official porcelain was born in the royal family, only for the exclusive use of the imperial court, for the general people, it is really unimaginable difficult to find, so the official porcelain has "know the official porcelain face, the country sits half" said, which shows the rarity and rarity of the official porcelain. โ
Li Yibai also understood that after all, official porcelain is not something that the people can touch lightly, it is only for the royal family and the powerful to enjoy, and it is indeed not easy to obtain it.
'Then who helped the emperor do this?' โ
Xue Jiade said, "The Ru kiln near the capital is supervised by Lord Yao Qisheng. He only needs to ensure the royal amount, and no one asks how much he burns for the rest. I heard that he was greedy for a lot of silver allocated by the emperor every year. However, a person like him who works as an errand for the emperor, as long as he doesn't go on a business trip, no one cares about this kind of thing. โ
Li Yibai nodded, he knew some of the situation of the official kiln porcelain.
'Shopkeeper Xue, you can go to the capital with me. I figured out that Yao Qisheng bought a batch of official porcelain. โ
Xue Jiade smiled bitterly, "Boss, don't be joking. How could he sell official porcelain to people like us, even if we send him more money, it is useless, someone has tried this before. โ
Li Yibai smiled, "If others can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it." Just come with me. โ
Xue Jiade was helpless, after all, Li Yibai was his boss, so he had to agree to go to the capital together.
Before going to the capital, Li Yibai made some preparations, after all, this time the matter was serious, and he didn't want to run in vain. As long as he can buy a large amount of official kiln porcelain from Yao Qisheng, he can make a lot of money and directly enter the ranks of billionaires.
Li Yibai first bought the largest merchant ship in the Northern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou Bay for a week. To buy this ship, Li Yibai spent 1oo thousand taels of silver. Of course, Li Yibai went back to the United States and brought back 2oo taels of silver, of which 1oo0,000 bought a ship and the other 1 million was deposited in the space-time transmission system. At the same time, Li Yibai also brought two footballs by the way. A replica of a landscape painting by Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty.
After buying the big boat, Li Yibai sent people to publicize it everywhere, so that the entire Lin'an and even the nearby places knew that Li Yibai bought the big boat, and he often sent people to the sea to do business.
After that, Li Yibai brought five bouncy balls, two soccer balls, two sets of cosmetics, and a copy of Xu Wei's landscape painting in the Ming Dynasty. These things check that the tape is all correct. After he and Xue Jiade entered a closed room, they flew first to the United States and then to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
After landing, Xue Jiade shouted, 'Boss. Where did you take me? โ
Li Yibai smiled slightly, "This is Bianliang, the capital city." โ
Xue Jiade has also been to Bianliang before, and if you look closely, it is really Bianliang.
'The owner. You really know how to do magic. It's a thousand miles a day. At the beginning, it took me to a magical room (USA), and then I arrived in Bianliang again, which was amazing. Owner, you are a god. โ
Li Yibai began to boast, "I'm not an immortal, this is just some Taoist skills that travel thousands of miles a day." Walk. Let's go see Yao Qisheng. โ
Xue Jiade took those things and led the way in front again, but fortunately, they rented a carriage and soon came to Yao Qisheng's house near the kiln factory.
In front of the palace, Yao Qisheng's home, the mansion of the high gate, is extraordinary.
Li Yibai walked to the door, and the family opened the door and asked who he was looking for?
'I'm Xinke Xie Yuan Li Yibai, and I'm here to meet Master Yao. Please let me know. Li Yibai arched his hand.
'Get out. My family is not available. The family was arrogant.
The family is like this, it seems that Yao Qisheng in front of the palace is domineering by relying on the emperor's favor.
Li Yibai didn't care and continued to knock on the door.
The house opened the door again, 'Why are you still there?' I said, my family is gone. โ
Li Yibai held a bouncy ball in his hand and handed it over. 'It's Dragon Ball. Please help me inform my lord. โ
When the family saw this 'Dragon Ball', they suddenly lost their momentum. What kind of person can give me such a precious thing casually.
Although my salary in the lord's house is not low, and there are often people who stuff me with silver in order to see the lord, but it is only a few taels of silver, and the most I have stuffed is 1o taels of silver. This boy stuffed a dragon ball at once, and this thing is worth thousands of taels to say the least.
It's enough for me to have to do things for half my life. When have I ever seen so much money.
Jia Ding took the bouncy ball and froze. Ban Yu whispered, "Childe, wait a minute, I'll go and help you inform your lord." โ
As soon as he turned around, he almost tripped in excitement. Seeing his wolf bรจi's back, Li Yibai smiled.
After a while, the family came back to open the door and invited Li Yibai to come in.
Li Yibai and Xue Jiade entered the living room.
Seeing an elegant middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the living room reading a book, the living room was full of poems, calligraphy and paintings, but the quality was not high, it seems that he was also an official influenced by Emperor Huizong.
'Xinke Xie Yuan Li Yibai visited Lord Cheng Zhi in front of the palace. Li Yibai arched his hand.
Yao Qisheng didn't look at Li Yibai squarely, still looking at his book, but replied, "You are a Xie Yuan, what are you looking for me." โ
Li Yibai said lightly, "The junior has come to ask the adults for painting. โ
Ask me for painting. Yao Qisheng's eyes lit up, people like him are usually used to being vassals and elegant, and he was of course happy when he heard that someone asked for painting. So he put down the book in his hand and raised his head to face Li Yibai.
Li Yibai unfolded the imitation painting of Xu Wei in his hand and said, "The younger generation has long heard that adults have high appreciation ability, and recently the younger generation received a good painting, and I especially want to ask the adult to help me appreciate it." โ
There is an appreciation of the paintings, and Li Yibai has a praising attitude, which makes Yao Qisheng very happy, he picked up the paintings, and pretended to be modest and said, "My appreciation ability is average, not as good as Li Tang and Yang Shixian, they are famous artists." โ
However, although Yao Qisheng's painting skills are average, he does have some appreciation. After all, he supervised the manufacture of official porcelain, and the quality of the finished products of the connoisseurship was quite similar to the connoisseurship of the paintings. In addition, in order to please the emperor, he also painstakingly studied and appreciated paintings.
So when he saw this imitation of Xu Wei, he was surprised.
'Good painting. Good drawing. There are such geniuses in the world. This painting is not inferior to Li Tang's works at all. Where did Li Gongzi receive it? Can this person still be found? โ
Li Yibai smiled in his heart, he is from the Ming Dynasty, where can I find it for you. And it's just something I found someone to copy in the United States.
'I just got it from an antique dealer who was probably an obscure painter from the previous dynasty. โ
Yao Qisheng sighed, "It's a pity. If you can find this person and recommend him to the emperor, the emperor will be very happy. โ
Hearing Yao Qisheng say this, Li Yibai knew that Yao Qisheng was very good at currying favor with the emperor, and he usually worked this. Then that's easy.
This work may be the only one left in the world, and this is a treasure. Li Yibai said lightly.
Yao Qisheng said regretfully, "That's right. This is definitely a treasure, and if it is dedicated to the emperor, the emperor must be very happy. โ
After speaking, Yao Qisheng's eyes kept staring at the painting. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said,
'Li Gongzi, do you want to dedicate this painting to the emperor? โ
Li Yibai knew that it was not good for him to ask like this. 'I don't want to. Why did Lord Yao say this? โ
Yao Qisheng pretended to be angry and said, "Gongzi Li, you dare to be disrespectful to the emperor. Everyone knows that the emperor likes famous paintings. Isn't it unfilial piety if you don't offer a famous painting? โ
What is unfilial, I think the emperor is the oldest, and he is not my parents, and besides, you are too strong, my personal belongings, I don't want to give them. He threatened me that this guy is really not a good thing. Li Yibai scolded in his heart, but his face deliberately pretended to be nervous.
'So, Master Yao, what do you think I should do?' โ
Yao Qisheng's face changed, "Of course you have to dedicate it to the emperor." You are good for the emperor. The emperor got this painting of dragon face and great joy, maybe he will make you an official. By then, you will have all been admitted to the Jinshi exam. โ
'But it's but,' Li Yibai hesitated.
Yao Qisheng smiled wryly. "I know what you're worried about, you're afraid that your status is too low and you won't be able to see the emperor, right?" I have a way to do this, I'll help you dedicate it to the emperor. You just give me the painting. โ
, sure enough, the weasel's tail was exposed. This is a painting that wants to be greedy for me. This guy is a villain, the painting is in his hands, who knows if he is dedicated to the emperor or not, even if he is dedicated to the emperor, he will definitely not mention my name. Li Yibai said in his heart. But I can't offend him yet, I still have to use him to make official porcelain for me. Later, when he has no use value, I will fix him.
'How?' Yao Qisheng smiled and said, rolling up the painting and putting it in his hand.
This is fucking, it's just forcible possession, just waiting to force me to agree, Li Yibai thought, but this painting was originally intended to be given to you, but it's just an imitation, I didn't expect you to be so cheap.
Actually, I originally planned to give this painting to Master Yao. Lord Yao asked me if I wanted to enter the emperor, so I said I didn't want to. โ
Hearing Li Yibai say this, Yao Qisheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, Li Jieyuan, you said it earlier." It's really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Please take a seat, please take a seat. Hongxing quickly served tea to Li Jieyuan. โ
Yao Qisheng got the painting and began to be enthusiastic about Li Yibai.
(Ask for recommendation, + collection.) I have been suffering from pain in my left abdomen and a stomach ulcer for the past few days. There is no spirit, it is written very slowly, forgive me. ๏ผ
