Chapter 196 Buddhism Heavy Treasure, Glass World (2)
Han'er is not afraid of traveling far and hard, thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for leisure,
The road is under the feet of the heart is like iron, and if you don't see Tianzhu, you will not return it!
"In Xia Wu quality, the word 'Ji Chong', Yanzhou Jiyin County people, since childhood admiration Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, determined to travel thousands of miles, see the scenery of the world, explore the end of the earth, what is it like, eight years ago to meet nobles, give coils, horses, blades, opened the road to the west!
It is said that he left Chang'an and went west to Changshui, Dunhuang, and Yumen Pass...... As a result, in the barren mountains, I encountered a colorful tiger, the tiger had white eyes, sharp teeth and claws, and a whistling echo of the mountains, fortunately I met a mountain patrol Taibao......"
Wu Zhen walked on the high platform, first hugged his fists and saluted, and then used a loud voice to tell his experience of traveling all the way to the west, talking about the sky and the golden lotus surging from the ground, and the content was even more thrilling:
What double-forked ridge encountered a tiger, and almost made a beast eat in its mouth; Ying Chou Jian met a white python and swallowed his white dragon horse, and Gao Laozhuang saw a big wild boar, which was almost larger than an elephant...... Even if it's a folk rap artist, it's not as eloquent as his eloquence!
In addition to the adventure, there are also the customs of the West, the grapes and wine of Wusun, the sweat and blood of Dawan, the sharp sword of the big food, especially the Tianzhu country, the land is extremely fertile, the rice can be cooked three times a year, rich in gold, ivory, spices...... It is also divided into hundreds of city-states, and there is no unified state power!
The guests under the stage were all fascinated, especially the female dependents who came with them, lamenting that Wu Zhen had traveled all the way to the west, and shed tears of sympathy......
For hundreds of years, the Han family has always known about the existence of Tianzhu, but because of the high mountains and long roads, the war and the obstruction, no one has ever arrived, I didn't think that this person named Wu Zhen became the first person to explore Tianzhu!
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now that there is the first, there will be a second and a third...... Tianzhu is extremely rich, but the people are weak and incompetent, and the country is also scattered in the form of sand.
"In the downstream Litianzhu places, I saw the customs and customs, and also collected a lot of local products: gems, spices, seeds, divine oil...... In a magical cave, I found dozens of treasures, ready to bring them back to share with my hometown!
I didn't expect that on the way back, I encountered a shipwreck, and was robbed by horse thieves several times, the entourage died or scattered, and the materials were lost, leaving only dozens of heavy treasures, and the lives of the desperate people were saved, and all of them were handed over to Wanbaolou for auction!
As for the money from the auction, seventy percent of it will be dedicated to the imperial court for the relief of the people, and thirty percent will be collected in private pockets, so as to recruit people who dare to die and explore the extreme west again, and next time they will definitely go further and see more beautiful scenery! ”
If you do too much, you must pass it, and if you say too much, Wu Zhen boasted a few more words, bowed to the surroundings, and then jumped off the auction table and hid behind with a smoke......
I was born in a mountain village, grew up in the countryside, the farthest trip in my life, is from Jiyin County to Xuchang City, not to mention what Tianzhu country I visited, even Xiliang has never seen it, and the previous wonderful remarks were all told by Da Sima a few days ago that he memorized it by rote!
The purpose is to create momentum, and then sell it at a good price, otherwise dozens of exquisite glazed wares suddenly appear on the auction floor, how can people believe it, there should always be a source, right?
As for the customs and customs of the Western Regions, Da Shi, and Tianzhu, how did Da Sima know, Wu Zhen never thought much about it, all people with the Mandate of Heaven are often born gods, and have the power of unpredictable prophets, and Da Sima is also one of them!
"Heavy treasures are not easy to obtain, and each piece is extremely precious, so Wanbaolou this auction only accepts gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry, these hard currency, if you want to owe credit, do not open your mouth!
Of course, if the person is not in a convenient hand, he can use the real estate, title deed, livestock, and grain as collateral to borrow from the newly established Wuwu Qian Bank, as long as three cents of interest......
"Haha, hurry up and start, the uncle has nothing else in his hands, just a lot of gold, silver and jewelry!"
………………
Liang Xiaoyu stood up again, repeated the rules of only accepting hard currency, and the terms of loans, after a period of preparation, the first 'worry-free money village' has opened in Xuchang!
The guests laughed, thinking that Liang Xiaoyu had done too much, and the people sitting here were either rich or expensive, and all of them had rich private pockets, so how could they not take out money, let alone borrow money from the bank, wouldn't that slap themselves in the face?
What they care about now is what Wu Zhen brought back, gold, jewelry, and seeds have been discarded, and only a few dozen heavy treasures are left, thinking that it is not an ordinary thing, he will travel to the extreme western countries for the second time, I don't know if he can intervene?
"Ding! --Bite! Bite! ”
Seeing that the emotions were mobilized, Liang Xiaoyu waved her hand gently, and a young girl slowly stepped onto the auction table, stretched her arms, twisted her waist, and boldly showed her figure, she was the first auction item!
The girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her appearance is also considered to be superior, but no, all the people sitting here are high-ranking officials and magnates, who are not in the house with a group of wives and concubines, and a lot of maids in the room, and the most important thing is beauty!
What's more, Wu Zhen came back from a foreign land, even if it is an auction beauty, it should be a Tianzhu girl, this black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned woman on the stage is a woman of the Han family at first glance, is this also a heavy treasure?
"My god grandpa, everyone look at her, she is wearing glass jewelry!"
"What, it's really a glass jewelry, bright yellow glass earrings, orchid colored glass rings, and sky blue glass pattern bracelets......"
"Worth a thousand gold, absolutely worth a thousand gold, it's really a treasure brought back from a foreign land!"
………………
Soon someone found out that the girl's hairpin, earrings, necklaces, accessories...... All of them are glazed ornaments, and they are colorful, textured, etc., which immediately caused a huge sensation, some guests exclaimed, and some stood up to watch, completely ignoring the aristocratic demeanor!
There are a lot of noble ladies and celebrities sitting here, and they are all dressed up, their jewelry is gold and silver, jewelry, jade, etc., only a few ladies have one or two pieces of glass jewelry, the largest is just a big nail, and the color is not bright!
Even so, they all put small pieces of glass in the most conspicuous place, or set on hairpins, or hung in front of their chests, as the biggest capital to show off, but compared with the girls on the stage...... Several ladies of the Decree ripped off their jewelry and secretly stuffed them into their arms, and Xiao Wu saw the big witch!
"Two thousand taels of gold, my master wants all the women and jewelry!"
"A full set of glass jewelry, I want to take it for two thousand taels, isn't this a fool's dream, the old man will give two thousand five hundred taels!"
"The old man pays three thousand taels, as long as he has jewelry and doesn't want a woman, the tigress at home looks amazing!"
After a burst of amazement, the magnates began to bid, and some people did not show their wealth themselves, so they let the servants come forward instead, shouting one after another, and there was a feeling that gold and silver were like dung!
A glass is too precious, usually money can't buy it, this time it suddenly appeared, and the quality is so high, who doesn't want to keep it for themselves?
Second, it is the nature of women to love beauty, and they can pay a huge price for a set of exquisite jewelry, even their own body and mind!
In order to get this set of glass jewelry, the ladies and ladies have performed stunts, coquettish, angry, pinching and scratching...... Constantly putting pressure on their own men, the men of the Han family have the characteristics of fear of guilt, in order to be able to climb into the bed of the lady, they have to work hard to grit their teeth, and the price has naturally soared all the way......
After several hard work, Cao Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry, won this set of glass jewelry at the price of 5,000 taels of gold, and the girl gave it away as a foil.
Among the important ministers of the imperial court, Cao Hong is known for his 'huge wealth, greed for money, and miserliness', and this time he took out five thousand taels of gold, although he will not go bankrupt, but also his vitality will be greatly damaged, if he wants to continue to bid for heavy treasures, I am afraid that he will really have to find a money bank to borrow!
The second auction item is a complete set of glazed tea sets, a pot of seven lamps, different colors, divided into red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, like the stars and the moon, workmanship, design, charm are first-class!
There are more tea masters on the stage, in front of the public to perform the tea art, only to see the boiling water boiling, the leaves stretching, its juice is as bright as gold, the whole process is beautiful, and the fragrance of tea wafts in all directions!
The exquisite glass tea set, the women are not interested, but for the literati, it has a fatal temptation, this is their vassal elegance, showing the unparalleled artifact!
Red clay oven, silver frost carbon, mountain stream water...... Gather three or five confidants, use glass tea sets, discuss the classics left by the sages, fluttering like a fairy among the gods, it makes people crazy just thinking about it!
"Four thousand taels of gold, this set of tea sets must belong to the old man, whoever grabs it will fight with whom!"
"I'm desperate to rob you, five thousand taels of gold, and the old man will go bankrupt!"
"Raise your noble hands, such a rare treasure, how can mortals deserve to enjoy it, only in front of the statue of the Master is not a waste of treasure!"
………………
After a few hard fights, Dr. Kong Rong went into battle shirtless, begging and threatening, and almost crashed to death under the auction table, and finally won this set of glass tea sets with 8,000 taels of gold!
Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, the family has been an official for generations, and the background is extremely profound, but eight thousand taels of gold, I really can't take it out at once, this is a heavy gold, not the pronoun 'brass!' ’
At the end of the settlement, Kong Rong paid 2,000 taels of gold, and the rest used silver, copper coins, and jewelry to top the account, and borrowed 3,000 taels from Wuxian Qianzhuang, which barely made up the amount, and then hugged the glass tea set, crying in a mess......
It is conceivable that for a long time in the future, the whole family of the Confucian Mansion, the servants and maids, can only live on white porridge and pickles...... Impulsiveness is the devil!
