Qianlong finally said that he was thirsty. After taking a big sip of hot tea, he asked Hao Jun seriously: "I wonder how much silver Mr. Qin's night pearls sold before?"

"Seven thousand taels per ounce."

Qianlong nodded and showed a meaningful smile, "Great quality and low price! It seems that Mr. Qin knew that these night pearls were not born and grown, so he didn't have the nerve to ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver each."

"You are talking about retail prices, and I am talking about bulk shipping prices."

Qianlong reacted, "So that's the case, that's the reason. How much silver does Mr. Qin plan to sell the remaining night pearls to me?"

Qianlong deliberately bit the "leftover" very heavily, obviously to get a bargain.

"The emperor's words are ambiguous. What is the remaining night pearl? I'm sorting and reserved it for you, right? Why, don't you plan to add value to me according to the price of the contribution?"

Qianlong said without any concealment: "Mr. Qin, there are 179 night pearls here, plus the previous seven, a total of 186. If you only calculate it according to 7,000 taels, it will be 1.3 million! Just add value and give back, it will cost 2 or 3 million! It's really a bit difficult to get Mr. Qin's first. It's really a bit embarrassing."

Of course, Hao Jun disagreed with making white slips. Exchange time travel is equivalent to traveling here. He may never come again in his life. What's the use of getting a white slip?

Hao Jun said strangely: "This is a good fortune for the country. You can use the funds of the national treasury, right?"

"However, too many are difficult to use this reason. If there were only the seven of them before, it would be easy to say. Moreover, in the past few years, many droughts were caused in the northern region, and a lot of disaster relief silver were allocated. Many floods in the southern region have strengthened many embankments. The East China Sea has "

Hao Jun heard the black thread and quickly interrupted Qianlong's words, "Do you know, don't the emperor just say that the money is not enough? Then you just take less."

Qianlong was happy, "Take less? How much can you take less? How much does it cost? How about 300,000 taels?"

Hao Jun curled his lips, "You old man can really bargain. Just get a fraction of the price if you take less? Are you really embarrassed?"

Qianlong was a little embarrassed, "What if Mr. Qin wants?"

Hao Jun didn't even look at him, "Since the emperor doesn't plan to spend more money, then take less night pearls."

Qianlong quickly moved all the Ye Mingzhu to his side as if he was protecting food. "Mr. Qin, don't say such things. Since I have seen it, how can you take it away? Everything will be discussed."

"How to discuss? The emperor said, let me listen carefully."

"You night pearls are not worth so much money, right? What's more, there are so many, so what's not to mention that things are rare? Even if it's really obtained from alchemy, there is no need for 7,000 taels per pill, right? The Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill can bring the newly dying person back from the King of Hell, but it's only 800 taels of silver."

Hao Jun smiled and said, "You ignored the fact that 7,000 taels of silver were originally the price of mass shipment, and the price of buying 100 pieces at once! It is not the retail price! In addition, what is really the income from alchemy? Could it be that you have a more reasonable explanation?"

Qianlong took a small ornament covered with resin glue and shook it, and said sly: "Don't tell me, this is also refined in the alchemy furnace."

Hao Jun was really convinced by this Qing emperor. Who said that time travelers could beat everything? Who said that ancient people were as easy to fool like local buns? Those who said that this had never been time traveling!

But Hao Jun was not a vegetarian, so he immediately found the lying statement: "Can't you tell that it was a slag produced by alchemy? Ye Mingzhu has a crystal clear feeling, but the colors on these gadgets are different. That's because he can't bear to throw away the slag, but he can't reveal his burnt state. He can only mix the color and cover it up. The emperor is knowledgeable and will not be able to see this, right?"

Qianlong looked carefully and felt that what Hao Jun said seemed to make sense.

Although Hao Jun once again took the initiative, the original series of plans that he had imagined had to be rewritten after encountering Qianlong, and the idea of ​​standing side by side to guide the country was completely shattered, because living with such a wise emperor day and night was too brain-consuming! He had to speak carefully at all times, and if he accidentally had to rack his brains to lie!

But thinking about it, Qianlong was able to stabilize the Qing Dynasty for so many years and witnessed countless intrigues. How could he be so easy to fool?

Hao Jun decided to look at money in everything and just get the valuable things, and he would not consider the dream of becoming an official.

Hao Jun then directly proposed to barter with goods according to the original idea, and Qianlong could exchange them with his collections he liked.

Qianlong made a decision immediately, it was absolutely OK!

Hao Jun then put forward further requirements, only jade, and only Hetian jade.

Qianlong hesitated. He was crazy about jade. Other collections were easy to talk about, but this jade was worth discussing, let alone his favorite Hetian jade!

But Hao Jun is very confident!

According to his bad information, under the advocacy of Qianlong, the fine workmanship, the large number of jade wares in the Qing Dynasty, were used in a wide range of numbers, which were incomparable to any dynasty in history. The palace gathered excellent jade carving designers and craftsmen in the country, and Qianlong also controlled the source of jade. The palace was equivalent to mastering high-quality jade materials and crushing a large number of exquisite jade wares.

In addition to the jade workshop of the Palace Construction Office and the Ruyi Pavilion undertakes the task of making jade for the palace, it has also formed a huge palace jade production network in other places.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhousu has always been the leader of fashion. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhousu's jade carving craftsmanship was recognized as the leading nationwide, and by the Qing Dynasty it was the most important jade carving center in the country.

Qianlong was very familiar with the situation of Su Yujiang and Yusi in the state, and was very confident in the production level of jade craftsmen there, believing that the jade craftsmen in Suzhangzhu Lane in the state were a group with considerable creative strength. Therefore, in the jade work produced by the Qianlong School, there were sometimes no sample scripts, which could leave a larger creative space for craftsmen.

But after the middle of Qianlong's reign, the Zhousu jade industry unilaterally pursued skills and ignored artistic tastes, and often accommodated the original material to reduce the loss of jade materials. Qianlong felt that it was unbearable and deeply felt that this was a disaster for jade.

However, if the jade that has been formed is remade, it will not only consume a large amount of jade material, but also make it easy to cause irreversible trauma to the jade material. Therefore, after thinking about it, Qianlong could only stuff those tribute jade that he didn't like to look at it into the corner of the warehouse.

Afterwards, Qianlong, who could not bear it, no longer allowed the jade craftsmen in Zhousu to wield freely. The Yangxin Palace Manufacturing Office, under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cooperated with the Ruyi Pavilion of the Neijing Temple, and then used the wax and jade materials, strictly required the jade crafts to be carved according to the style, or clearly instructed that the new samples could not be carved...

Hao Jun’s idea was about the jade artifacts in the corner of the warehouse!

Qianlong's many trivial and delicate craftsmanship that he disliked was very popular in modern society, and Hao Jun would never have to worry about selling it!
