Chapter 2293: Old Fart Zheng

Puyi got angry in the palace for a long time and dropped a lot of things, but it was useless. In the end, he still had to obediently give the money. He asked someone to find out that Shen Long was really capable of doing such a thing. I don't want to go to the court, the most important thing is that Shen Long's last words about Zhang Xun frightened him.

He is also a person who has read some books. According to the standards of the Qing Dynasty, those who wanted to rebel after surrendering, from Puyi to Pujie, etc., had to go to Caishikou. According to international rules, such as France, Russia's October and other practices, not to mention "seeking rebellion and restoration", as early as the founding of the Republic of China, it is estimated that more than half of the blood will be shed during the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, he has also heard that the government is dissatisfied with the "Regulations on Preferential Treatment for Cleaning Houses". He is afraid that even four million oceans will be lost every year, so he can only smash his teeth and swallow blood, and endure this matter, but even if In this way, Puyi couldn't gather so much cash for a while, and the expenses in the palace were very large.

So he had no choice but to ask the chief eunuch to discuss with Shen Long. Is it okay to pay part of the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver with silver dollars and the other part with treasures stored in the palace?

As soon as Shen Long heard this, he became angry. How many national treasures Puyi, a prodigal son, has sold, many of which have been sold to foreigners. Yan Li's "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties" is still in the collection of the Boston Museum in the United States. Yuan Dynasty painter Ren Renfa's "Five Kings Returning Drunken" fell into the hands of the Germans. It was not until 60 years later that the Chinese bought it back from the auction for a sky-high price of 46.58 million Hong Kong dollars.

Well, keeping these things in your hands will still be cheaper for foreigners in the future, why don't I accept them, Shen Long agreed, and then made a list, the first one is Yan Liben's "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties", and then It is one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation in China, "Picture of Walking Chariot", "Mid-Autumn Tie" by Wang Xianzhi, "Boyuan Tie" by Wang Xun, "Langyuan Female Immortal Picture Scroll" by Ruan Gao, a painter of the Five Dynasties, and "Sixth Song Dynasty" by Chen Rong in the Southern Song Dynasty. "Dragon Picture" and so on have written a lot.

"Yo, Qiye, you are a bit cruel, so many good things add up to more than two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver!" The eunuch felt a toothache when he saw it.

"Hehe, if you don't want to, take these things and sell them outside, mortgage loans, and see how much you can get? I'm still well off!" Shen Long sneered, "You still think I don't know, you Why did you go to Liulichang Guo Shiwu all the time? Did you sell a lot of things? What price did he give you?"

"Strictly speaking, these treasures left by the ancestors belong to the state. It's not good for you to buy and sell them and spread the word. Then the person in the palace may not have something to do, so it's hard for you!" It's been two times, otherwise he wouldn't have figured out a way to use calligraphy and painting to pay off the debt.

"Okay, can't I admit it? Don't tell anyone else about this!" The eunuch hesitated again, and put away the list that Shen Long had drawn out, "I'll go back and get you something, these The things are given to you, and we will settle the account."

"I mean what I say,

As long as you give me money, I won't spread the word about it! Seeing that he had collected the list and was about to leave, Shen Long stopped him again, "In the future, if you sell something, show it to me first. The price I keep here is cheaper than Guo Shiwu's. Now it's me. I ask you for money, and I will give you a chance to get money from me. "

That's all for now. When Puyi is kicked out by Feng Yuxiang in the future, I will go to Jinmen and look inside his house to see if there are any good things. I can't let him trash these national treasures. Going to cheap foreigners, after many years, we have to spend a lot of money to buy it back.

"Look at what you said, this matter is settled like this. If there is something good next time, I will ask you first!" The eunuch has already begun to think, next time Puyi asks me to sell something, will I be too late? Come out and sell one or two pieces to Master Qi? We also have to prepare some pension money for ourselves.

The next day, the chief eunuch sent these national treasures to Shen Long. Shen Long took them over to identify and check them one by one, and picked out two fakes. It is estimated that the eunuchs in the palace colluded with people from Liulichang, and exchanged fakes for fakes. The eunuch had no choice but to take it back with a bitter face, "These bastards, I have to skin them when I go back; don't worry, Seventh Master, I will exchange two more for you later, and I guarantee they are all genuine." Oh, your eyes really have nothing to say, they are more poisonous than Guo Shiwu's eyes."

"I'm more generous than him!" After counting, Shen Long hid all the calligraphy and paintings, and then found money from his savings and handed them to the cabinet of Baicao Hall. The money was paid back to Baicao Hall.

"Old Qi, this is really true, let me not know how to say it, I didn't expect that the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver would really come back!" Bai Jingyi was full of emotion, "It's just this time that the palace will definitely be offended. I'm afraid they won't buy medicine from our Baicao Hall in the future, and they will lose a lot of business!"

"How many people are there in the palace now? How much medicine can be used in a year? How long does it take to sell two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver?" Shen Long didn't care at all, "And even if we offend him, he Go there to find Babao, go there to find Angong Niuhuang Pills? Don’t you have to come to our Baicao Hall to buy? As for those commonly used medicines, it’s a business with small profits but high sales. , whoever he likes to buy from!”

"That's true! With this money, our factory can be set up. Then I have to take a good look at how this foreign machine makes medicine!" Bai Jingyi said.

"Didn't you already look at it when you went back to Jinan Mansion last time, but this time the machine is really different, better than Jinan Mansion, let's go, I'll take you to have a good look!" Shen Long pulled Bai Jingyi out .

For a period of time after that, Shen Long put other things aside for the time being, and went to the factory in the suburbs by car every morning to monitor the construction progress of the factory, and came back just before dinner.

The factory was built outside the Yongding Gate, Shen Long was the same day as usual, after finishing his work, he sat in the car and went through the city gate, ready to go home for dinner, while checking the homework of Bai Jinggong and Bai Jiali.

On the small bridge over the moat, Bing Kuan drove his car onto the bridge, and a large car came across the bridge. The bridge was narrow, and only one car could walk.

Bing Kuan was upset, "Can you talk? Who is this 'Hey' called?" So the two started arguing.

Shen Long pulled the curtain of the car and looked outside, hey, isn't this Old Zheng's fart?
