Chapter 24 Things in the Brocade Box
The four words "Your Majesty's Handwritten" sounded like thunder in the ears of everyone in Pinxianlou. Everyone was shocked and couldn't speak, especially the young man who just said he wanted a tael of silver to buy it, his face turned pale, and his knees softened and knelt on the ground.
Li Fan nodded gratefully to the old man in the front row. It was worth it. He always had delicious food, drink and treat him well. He could only recognize Comrade Xiao Zhu's handwritten books at a glance, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Student..., grass-roots..., villain..." The young man was so scared that he couldn't speak.
Li Fan smiled on his face and said to the young man: "Those who do not know are not guilty! When the emperor took out this calligraphy, there was also an oral order. When someone took it, he would convey it together!"
There is also an oral order? Isn’t that an imperial order?
People were not calm now. When Li Fan announced the start of the bidding, the silver quickly surpassed the imperial pen as if it was not enough.
Among them, the fat man from Wu Jiliang Store had red eyes. He pointed at the Risheng Qianshang Store and cursed, saying that the old man had already taken a photo of something and wanted to bid for the character. In order to buy the character, Sun bought the character, so he didn't even care about others' cursing.
They all understood that this calligraphy was hanging at home, which was a talisman. In the future, as long as they did not commit a serious crime of rebellion, they would be reborn.
Buying a noodle is equivalent to being recognized by the emperor. In the future, business will be invincible. As long as you don’t make big mistakes, even the government will not cause trouble.
This time, the merchants fought for the bayonets, and they blushed and kept bidding. In the end, the letter was bought by Manager Wu for 210,000 taels of silver. The others could only sigh, but what could they do!
Li Fan handed the word to Manager Wu with his own hands, and said with a look of expression: "Your Majesty's oral order!"
Manager Wu knelt down on his knees, raised the word high above his head, and said, "Listen to Your Majesty's Imperial Order!"
Li Fan cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty's oral order: I would rather take the earth with integrity than just a ten thousand taels of gold!"
"The people who received the orders and thanked me!" Manager Wu visited the shopkeeper, which attracted the envy of others.
All three items were sold out, and Li Fan clapped his hands and said, "Welcome to participate in this disaster relief charity auction, and raised a total of more than 300,000 taels of silver!
All donations will be used to provide disaster relief and relief to refugees. Please give me a testimony!”
The success of the auction was beyond everyone's imagination. Even Li Fan did not expect that three items would sell so much money.
When Comrade Xiao Zhu got the news, he was excited to circle around the imperial study room and began to plan how to spend more than 300,000 taels of silver.
The Qianqing Palace must be renovated, Empress Dowager Li’s Cining Palace must also be renovated, and the place where the imperial pen is hung must be built...
The happy Comrade Zhu walked to Longshu's desk, picked up an imperial edict on it and threw it to Li Fan and said, "Congratulations to Brother Li! You have become an official!"
"From a Jinshi? Chengzhilang? What rank official?" Seeing his official position in the imperial edict, Li Fan was confused and thought for a long time in his mind before he remembered that he really had this official position.
He is a casual official with no position, which is equivalent to a title of a certain level of treatment in later generations. As for the Jinshi origin, it is even more nonsense, equivalent to a diploma such as a correspondence university in later generations.
No matter what, I became an official. After all, I had a diploma and was no longer a white diary.
Comrade Xiao Zhu looked at Li Fan, who was still a little confused and said, "Brother Li! Don't be dissatisfied. I thought I would beg the teacher, but I didn't expect it to pass so easily!"
Li Fan put away the imperial edict and gave in a false way, which caused Comrade Xiao Zhu to laugh and scold him.
Well? A brocade box on Longshu's desk attracted Li Fan's attention. He was so familiar with this thing that he almost lost his life for the brocade box.
"Your Majesty! This brocade box?" Li Fan really wanted to know what was contained in the brocade box and why so many people snatched it.
Xiao Zhu opened the brocade box indifferently, took out a gold medal from it and threw it to Li Fan.
"The teacher sent it, saying that there were treasures from the previous dynasty hidden inside! There were messy things, no one knew what it meant!"
After receiving the gold medal, Li Fan looked carefully and found that the brand was not big, but it was very tight. It was not made of pure gold!
If you look carefully at the surface of the gold medal, there are many Chinese characters cast on it. Li Fan knew each of these characters, but they are connected together and are the Book of Heaven.
"Borjijin" is the only word that Li Fan can read together, so he read it softly.
Comrade Xiao Zhu clapped his hands and said, "That's right! It's the damn Mongolian family surname on the grassland. Every person from the Borjijin family deserves to die! It is said that there are eight gold medals in total, and you will open the Mengyuan treasure if you collect them."
When talking about the golden family on the grassland, Comrade Xiao Zhu was full of anger. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, every time the Mongols invaded the south, they had their shadows. They hated Comrade Xiao Zhu for itchy teeth, but there was no way.
"Where are the other gold medals now?" Li Fan became interested and couldn't help asking.
"The teacher only sent this gold medal. Only God knows where the rest is!"
Comrade Xiao Zhu finished speaking with a look of frustration.
Just as they were talking about the gold medal, Sande walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Li! The Empress Dowager summoned me!" After saying that, he looked at Li Fan enviously. Since ancient times, Li Fan was the only one who could make friends with the emperor.
"What?" Comrade Xiao Zhu's face suddenly became bitter when he heard Empress Dowager Li summoning him, and he took Li Fan to the Empress Dowager's bedroom with him.
...
"What auction did the Ai family have held for disaster relief? How much did it earn in total? Has it been handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for disaster relief?"
After the Empress Dowager Li and Comrade Xiao Zhu and Li Fan finished their greetings, they immediately asked.
Comrade Xiao Zhu's face suddenly became bitter and looked at Li Fan. Li Fan hurriedly said, "Godmother..."
As soon as he said that, the nanny standing beside him jumped out and shouted loudly: "Bold! How can Empress Dowager Cisheng be called randomly?"
"It's okay! Godmother Ai's family is friendly, so let's call first!" Empress Dowager Li raised her hand and said, and the nanny immediately bowed and retreated aside.
Li Fan stood up straight, looked at the nanny with a smile, and said confidently: "Godmother! You don't know that the charity auction was so lively. They all went crazy when they heard that there was an auction of royal items.
A total of more than 300,000 taels of silver were raised, all of which were placed in Pinxianlou. The child will plan to go to provide disaster relief tomorrow!
If the money is sent to the Ministry of Revenue, the officials will have to distribute it layer by layer. When the food is delivered to the victims, it is hard to say how much is left, it is this time..."
Li Fan did not continue to say the rest, but everyone understood the rules of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. After all, no officials who were in charge would not benefit. In addition, they were shirking each other, and they didn't know when they would be in the hands of refugees.
"Yes!" Empress Dowager Li nodded without saying anything, and a brief silence in the room fell into a state of tranquility.
"Godmother! Why don't you tell you a story!" Li Fan broke the silence of being a father and started to tell with the consent of Empress Dowager Li.
