"Moreover, as soon as he buys it, he will not sell it separately!"

Li Zhi's addition caused everyone to suddenly realize, it turned out that this was his ultimate goal, you must know that in that era, there was a royal character on the paper of your letter or writing your own poems, but it was quite a face-saving thing.

And this word represents a very deep meaning, and it is synonymous with power, auspiciousness, wealth, and dignity, the key of which is that no one dares to make a fuss about this word, Li Zhineng can come up with such a generous way to appear openly, undoubtedly not something that anyone can think of!

Chang Yubo couldn't help but shake his head, the meaning was naturally not derogatory, but he sighed that Li Zhi casually gave birth to an idea, and it would be a wonderful thing, but he had a deep understanding for a long time.

There is no one who will use so many fancy things that are already quite expensive, and its unique horror can be seen.

After Chang Yubo left for a long time, the three girls still got together to discuss their man's unpredictable moves, and that kind of behavior was almost equivalent to forcing others to buy his products, or the kind of willingness.

Li Zhi didn't want to listen to their bits and pieces at this time, because Tong Lao Liu came over and was telling about the mobilization of carriages and horses:

"At present, there are sixty-six planes that can be guaranteed to be requisitioned for a period of time, if you add the Linhuai County Palace, I think it should not be a problem to make up enough for 100 planes, and there will be a danger of leakage in the market leasing, I think we should try our best to avoid it!"

Li Zhi agreed with his idea, "While our liquor is not yet on the market, it is not eye-catching to ship back the mountain fruit in large quantities, but the news will inevitably be revealed." For the time being, this is the plan, including the Ming Wangfu, a batch can also be transferred, and I just want to go there, by the way! ”

"Then I'll run these things today, and I need to go to the counter to pay some silver taels!"

"Just find a sealed housekeeper, you don't need to notify me of this kind of thing in the future!"

Tong Lao Liu shook his head with a smile and left, Li Zhi called the third daughter, went back to the Xishi Wine Workshop, and his own sergeant loaded a cart of wine, and this trip was to go to the Ming Palace, and he didn't forget to send some to Master Tan halfway.

When he came back in the afternoon, he went into the carving room in the storeroom, which was the third time he had learned carving, and with the help of true qi, the progress was extremely fast, and he was able to carve some relatively inexpensive snuff bottles alone.

Master Tan brought his two apprentices, unlike Li Zhi, his apprentices were only registered disciples, and the old man had the ancestral skills of the Tan family's jade carving, and he would only pass it on to him.

Those two people are called Mo Shao and Bai Yu, both of whom are men in their thirties, and they can only be regarded as ordinary craftsmen in the palace jade bureau, and they have no family to assist, and they have always been an ordinary jade carver for decades.

But when you come to Li Zhi, it's different, not only can you earn several times the silver, but you can also get in touch with countless precious materials, and you won't be discriminated against, so why not do it.

Master Tan's other three apprentices are also going to follow, but because of some fame, they are currently working with dozens of craftsmen to jointly complete a giant jade relief, and they can't just leave it alone.

Even if the level of carving in the palace belongs to the general Mo Shao and Bai Yu, it can be regarded as a well-known person among the people, otherwise how could he be selected to the palace.

When I went to the palace, it was only a good reputation, even an ordinary low-level eunuch, and I could also call them around, and they were actually impatient for a long time when they were humiliated.

Therefore, Master Tan just asked someone to bring the words, and the two came the next day with luggage rolls, of course, they went to the Zhengqing Wenqi Hall first, and they couldn't enter here without a permit, and the precautions were strict, and there was no difference compared to the palace.

More than a dozen people in charge of the treasury are all helped by Li Zhishi Yuanye, and their strength is between the three levels of the hunter, and in the near future, there will be several masters.

There are these people guarding the vault, which makes Li Zhi very relieved.

"Mr. Li, Master will carve that kind of misty wood snuff bottle for you again, why don't you go over and take a look?"

It was Mo Shao who spoke, a real person who was quite good at talking, Li Zhi was currently learning carving in the two-person room, and it was far from the minimum level required by Master Tan.

"That's good, I really want to go and see it, so that the old man doesn't cut corners because of his own family!"

Bai Yu on the side shook his head with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, that is, you dare that master to joke, when he was in the palace, the old man didn't have a smiling face when he faced the head of the Internal Affairs Office!" ”

"Did the two senior brothers find out that our master has never broken the smile on his face since he called me?"

Seeing the two nodding, Li Yi walked out and continued with a smile, "There is no pressure here, and you can face countless treasures, and you can ask the old man to do something he likes at will." A master craftsman, if he stays in the palace for a long time, his nerves will be suppressed and there will be problems, where will he be as free and casual as his own home! ”

What he said was true, a craftsman who is dedicated to studying jade carving can't let himself be obsessed with his hobby, it must be a very cruel thing.

In Master Tan's room, the third uncle Rong Hongran and the fourth uncle Gu Moran were all there, staring at a piece of meager wood that was as huge as the palm of the old man's hand.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, Rong Hongran took a white jade carved wine jug, took a sip and smiled: "Mr. Li, you are indeed very discerning, don't consider such a superb chalcedony carving, and choose such a piece of material as a snuff bottle, without carving it into shape, it is difficult to imagine that there will be such a wonderful effect!" ”

Master Tan put down the carving knife, handed the semi-finished product in his hand to Li Zhi, took out the same white jade wine jug by himself, took a sip of it, and said comfortably:

"Text, Brother Rong is right, you are indeed very prescient, Master borrowed this piece of Misty Valley Wood black texture to draw a dragon for you, as long as you feel the temperature, it will shine all over its body. Then there are two eyes, and I'm going to put two carnelians on them, and when the light shines on them, it will come to life as if it were alive! ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, "If it can achieve that kind of effect, I'm afraid that its own value will not be lower than that of chalcedony material, right?" ”

"How so? This kind of misty wood is not suitable for carving snuff bottles, because its own texture is different, and the derived patterns are different, but the larger the area, the more valuable the texture use, and the small snuff bottle greatly limits its most real side of the show! This huge snuff bottle of yours does not have this kind of regret, I suggest other Misty Valley wood materials, as much as possible to retain its original texture pattern, otherwise it will always be a huge waste! It is difficult to say which is higher or lower between Shenmu and chalcedony, and besides, your concept of art should be changed, and everything cannot be measured by money! ”

"It's Master, apprentice has written it down! It doesn't have to be carved into a snuff box, such as a jewelry box, a short dagger scabbard, a wooden ring, or even a fan bone! ”

"Why did you cut down only the branches, the whole body?" Gu Moran asked the question in his heart.

"Fourth uncle, those few Lost Valley Trees are not mortal, and they are also qualified to call them Divine Trees! It itself has all kinds of miraculous appearances, not to mention, and relying on the temple in the Buddha to live together, but it should be attached to the tree, prolonged to become, it has a terrifying fresh spirituality! ”

Li Zhi talked about the environment of the four Lost Valley Trees, especially after leaving a drop of Stone Yuan Liquid for each of them, the Lost Valley Tree suddenly shook at the same time, and the branches and leaves shook, as if there was no wind swinging itself, and the spirituality of the ancient wood was fully manifested for a while, which attracted the surprise of the three of them.

"So trees can really grow into essence? Mr. Li, you are doing the right thing, and I am reluctant to cut them down for my own needs, which is against the will of God! Rong Hongran sighed deeply.

"I don't have a good opinion of Buddhism, but when you say that, I believe in the existence of that kind of faith." It was also the first time Master Tan had heard of this.

"In Buddhism, willow branches, pomegranate trees and other ritual objects or holy objects, in fact, they all have their spiritual existence, no matter what kind of faith, sincere worship, there will always be people who can truly perceive its existence, unpolluted Zen and pure morality, are from the natural world of grace, this is not surprising!"

This is Pang Ti's truth, Li Zhi belongs to the current learning and selling.

"And they allow you to cut down the branches on your body?" Gu Moran continued to ask.

"Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, only by publicizing the true meaning will it have the significance of spreading the truth! They have not lost their Buddha nature due to the fall of Tsz Yun Temple, and they are still spiritual, just waiting for this inexplicable opportunity to come. When I take its branches and leaves, it is like broadcasting its Buddha nature and spirituality in the world, so can I spread the Buddha's teachings as they are permanently in a narrow corner? Moreover, although Pang Qi is only twelve years old, he can read the mind of the ancient tree and the divine tree, maybe this is too strange to be understood by ordinary people, but I can feel the joy of cutting down branches and leaves from them! ”

Rong Hongran deeply believes that it is, "With the understanding of Buddhism, this kind of branch and leaf is like a new life, and its branches are made into Buddha nature and spread to the world, which is in line with the concept of reincarnation of life and death in Buddhism!" ”

Li Zhi smiled, "We are all believers, so don't discuss Buddhism here, it sounds a little weird." Master, how many finished snuff bottles are there now? ”

"There are more than 300 white jade, and there are more than 200 other materials, of which there are more than 30 chalcedony quality, and more than 10 of this kind of mystery! How many do you have with your two brothers? Master Tan pinched his fingers and calculated.

"It's mainly white jade quality over there, and there are hundreds of them. But on the day of the opening, our jade carving products will also be listed, and the inventory is a problem! ”

"At present, there are several large ornaments I am carving, which can be completed within two days, and there are hundreds of items from my private collection before, this time I will take them out and sell them together, as long as the words Zhengqing Wenqitang and Tan family are added!"

Rong Hongran was extremely surprised, "Master Tan, are you going to pass it, and the inventory of decades will also be handed over to this kid and sold as ordinary goods?" ”

Master Tan laughed, "Sooner or later, it's his!" And I was originally quite concerned about those collections, but when I saw these jades, I suddenly felt that they were too ordinary, and I lost interest in an instant! ”

"It turned out that you handed it over to me because you lost interest, Master, you are always a bit shocking!"

Li Zhi's joke caused Master Tan to smile even more cheerfully, "Jade quality is not only the first important factor to consider when collecting jade, but also a prerequisite for judging the value of a finished jade. However, under the same conditions of workmanship, the price between a high-quality mutton fat white jade work and an ordinary white jade mountain material work is still a world of difference. I have these peerless materials, and I can still stick to the so-called jade products before, then I am stupid! ”

"Mr. Li, your master is not called liking the new and hating the old, those who intervene in the collection will have the expectation of maintaining and increasing the value, for any jade collector, the collection of jade has more appreciation space, this is a prerequisite that cannot be ignored! Scarcity is expensive, this is the immutable law of value in the market, especially in the field of collecting. The quantity of existence is the basic element of the market value of collectibles, and without scarcity, it is impossible to have good prospects for appreciation. ”

Taking a sip of wine, Gu Moran said so, obviously he also had research in this area.
