Chapter 111 The silver flower is worth it

"Master..."

Liu was panicked. She didn't expect that she had been brewing for a long time and had not yet made the request, Zhao Liang first gave her an absolute "bad news".

When he thought of the rumored mistress's new wife's marriage to the outdoor room, concubine, and roommate - Li Pozi said, Liu was a little chilled.

The sound of "Master" was so whispered and charming.

"Don't panic, don't panic!"

Zhao Liang quickly patted Liu's shoulder and comforted him.

"I've told you that I won't let you go. Why are you worried about?"

This time, in order to make Liu's "arrangement" clearly, Zhao Liang prepared a considerable batch of goods.

There are tens of thousands of taels of silver alone.

To be honest, this amount of money was not taken seriously by Zhao Liang at all. It was just that there was only so much silver he could control freely in the short term.

The rest are either official silver with inscriptions or private silver with silver numbers.

To be safe, Zhao Liang has to handle it once before he can get it for use on the surface.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver plus a batch of silk, satin, fine porcelain cloth, etc., is enough to make Liu's family safe. Whether it is to buy a small farm or open a store.

At the same time, this amount is also very suitable for the current Zhao family.

After all, the Zhao family is not the old Kang family that Gongyi has become rich and prosperous, but the eldest son of the old Kang family. He took out tens of thousands of taels of silver and a large amount of goods to settle an outdoor room, which is definitely a big deal.

The Li Grandma outside the door was already shouting in her heart, "Amitabha". Uncle Zhao is really an old man, and her skills are much better than she thought.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver are enough to make the Liu family a worth more than 1,000 acres of farms.

Nowadays, the land price in the north is only about ten taels of silver per mu of high-quality irrigated land, and the price of land acres is even lower.

With tens of thousands of taels of silver in hand, you can easily buy a farm with more than 1,000 acres of land, so that the acres can be put together and it is easier to manage tenants. The remaining silver can also be bought in a few stores in the city, leaving one for your own business, and renting out the rest, which is another long-term benefit.

This Uncle Zhao can spend so much money to support others, which shows that he is sincere to his aunt!

Liu is not really a wealthy flower that doesn’t know anything about the slightest common things. When he heard the “arrangement” given by Zhao Liang, he was also full of joy.

This condition is really much more than she expected.

I thought I could have a strong rice bowl, but I didn't expect to directly hold the super luxurious big gold bowl...

That night, Liu should not use all his skills to serve Zhao Liang.

The next day when Zhao Liang got up and went to the prefect's office, Liu was still sluggishly lying on the bed.

"Young Master Zhao? Please, please, please, please..."

The officers in the prefectural office laughed out of a flower when they saw Zhao Liang's face.

It is well known to everyone that this man is generous. Unfortunately, it took more than half a year to go there and asked them to lose money. Moreover, the fact that Songhelou received the emperor's personal letter had long been passed on to Chenzhou Prefecture. The little people in the small place had little vision and thought it was the sky. When looking at Zhao Liang again, there was a layer of blind filters?

Zhao Liang came to the prefect's office this time and was still giving gifts.

When he was in Yangzhou, he specially selected a jade carving - the Three Colors Fulu Fate Bottle, which was specially given to Minglun.

This old man from the Fucha family has helped the Zhao family a lot.

Although his original purpose was not to help the Zhao family, the Zhao family could not help but appreciate it, right?

At least Zhao Liang was quite grateful to Minglun. The latter's series of practices made the Zhao family spend the most dangerous time.

Therefore, even if the three-color lucky longevity bottle cost him a total of 3,000 taels of silver, Zhao Liang was willing to accept it.

Well, although the jadeite at this time was recognized by the upper class in China - in the 19th year of Yongzheng, the jadeite tributes in southern Yunnan were recognized by Emperor Yongzheng.

You should know that what can be called tributes are the best local items. Once the tribute is recognized by the emperor, it means that the item has great value.

Jade was written in Xu Xiake's travel notes in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, people still reluctantly admitted that it was a kind of jade and did not recognize its "value".

Emperor Yongzheng laid the initial foundation for jadeite to be well-known and recognized by the world.

By the time of Qianlong, the value and social recognition of jade had further increased. Although it was far from being compared with later generations or the period of Cixi, the grade of jade had also risen to the middle level among jade.

It’s also a blessing that it’s only the middle level, otherwise Zhao Liang’s 3,000 taels of silver wouldn’t be able to get the three-color lucky fortune and longevity bottle.

The bottle is said to be written by a famous jade carving craftsman in Yangzhou.

Although Zhao Liang's aesthetic and appreciation level are not trustworthy, the jade bottle in front of him gives him a very good feeling.

The huge body is carved from a complete piece of jadeite raw stone. The bottle body is like a huge longevity peach, full and full. The green and green ice base is covered with elegant violet pigment, which is very noble. The bottle cap is also cleverly carved with yellow jade and five bats flying around, meaning five blessing plates and longevity. A sika deer carved in jade has a peach branch, and the peach branches are full of fruits, which is homophonic with the meaning of "Fu Lu". The peach is longevity, which is intimately consistent with the "Fu Lu Xu" body of jade "Yellow Jade, Green Green, Purple Color" and the design is wonderful.

More importantly, the whole work exudes a graceful and grand atmosphere, grand and magnificent.

After seeing this, Minglun really liked it, and his smile at Zhao Liang added a little more sincere.

He has been in Chenzhou Prefecture for so long, and he has not found out the clues. Although Minglun is proud of himself and has never dared to neglect and relax at all, he knows that the above people will not look at these people. All the emperor wants is the result, and he cannot produce the result himself, that is unqualified.

Although he had only been here for a year and although Ming Lun did not relax at all, he knew that too much depression and loss had been crowded deep in his heart.

Finally, the emperor's uncle remembered to go on an errand, but it was not done yet!

His uncle Minglun's future will be no longer bright.

In this way, it is also good to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money.

It’s a pity that the appearance he had before was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Almost no one dared to come to the door to give gifts on weekdays. And he also had to work hard on face and deal with the eyeliner in Beijing... The money is really not profitable.

How could such a prefect suddenly see the heavy gift Zhao Liang brought, so how could he feel unhappy?

Yangzhou jade carving is the most famous jade carving school in the Qianlong Dynasty. It is the national jade production center and an important production base for palace jade.

In the 31st year of Qianlong's reign, the Western Regions paid a tribute to the court. This large jade reminded Qianlong of a landscape painting "Autumn Mountain Travel" by Jin Tingbiao, and issued an order to be made by the palace jade. However, more than 20 jade craftsmen in the palace jade were made every day, and they took six months of daily work and four months of night work, and only 20% of the progress was completed, and the progress was extremely slow. In desperation, Qianlong ordered the jade material to be transported to Yangzhou for processing.

Lianghuai Salt Administration recruited 3,000 Yangzhou jade craftsmen.

After four years, the work was finally completed.

Three thousand jade craftsmen came to see the awesomeness of the jade carving industry in Yangzhou.
