When Xu Jing called out the auction price of 30,000 taels, the entire Royal Expo looked at him in shock.

How rich is this to buy a glass night pearl with 30,000 taels of silver in one go?

The entire Royal Expo became very quiet, and the noisy and bustling chess board street suddenly became a slightest.

Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao stood up. He wanted to see which rich man was so stupid that he had to spend 30,000 taels to buy his Royal Industrial Company's glass night pearl at a cost of less than one tael.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao had the same idea, but he looked at Xu Jing with a hint of appreciation. After all, the fat Confucian scholar who shouted a high price of 30,000 taels was equivalent to giving him 600 taels of silver!

"Who is so arrogant and dares to steal my business? Gu admires it!"

Gu Dayong also asked loudly with a smile, and he was naturally happy. After all, Royal Industries also has his shares, and he even hopes that the more suckers, the better.

The other people looked at Xu Jing with a look of surprise.

Some people also think that he is rich and generous, and can get a high price of 30,000 taels to buy glass night pearls.

But some people think that Xu Jing is smart and knows that this thing is valuable, so they buy it at a high price and then make money. They even envy Xu Jing.

This even made some wealthy businessmen among the people regret it, thinking whether they would give the price a little higher and grab this treasure.

But because 30,000 taels is too high, few people dare to do this like Xu Jing.

Wei Bin, the personal eunuch of Emperor Zhengde, personally welcomed Xu Jing with a smile on his face: "How dare this friend ask for his name?"

"Xu Jing, a juren from Nanzhili, met this father-in-law." Xu Jing smiled and replied, and hurriedly took out the silver bill: "This is the Taichang bill, one is 20,000 yuan, one is 10,000 yuan, and one is 10,000 yuan. Please check it out."

Seeing that the Emperor and several eunuchs in front of him were looking at him with curiosity, as if he had a good impression of him, just like looking at the girl from Mingyue Tower, Xu Jing felt a little chill on his back and hurriedly took out the silver note.

"Why be so anxious? Since you have come to power, you have to salute Your Majesty no matter how hard you are! Yes, Juren Xu?"

As Wei Bin said that, he grabbed Xu Jing's hand and came to Zhu Houzhao. Xu Jing hurriedly pulled his hand back and smiled awkwardly: "The student is just a mere juren, and he is not worthy of such courtesy of his father-in-law."

As he said that, Xu Jing kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and gave a great gift.

"Get up, it turns out that your name is Xu Jing. Do you know Tang Bohu?"

Zhu Houzhao remembered that during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jing was involved in the imperial examination fraud case with Tang Bohu. He also knew that Xu Jing was from a wealthy family, so he couldn't help but ask more questions.

Xu Jing was indeed the one Zhu Houzhao guessed, he was Tang Bohu's friend, and he was even now considered a confidant who shared hardships.

Therefore, when Xu Jing heard His Majesty mention his friend, he did not hide it: "Report to Your Majesty, the student knows Tang Bohu, and now he is a brother-in-law."

"Then you write a letter to tell him to come to the capital. I want to use him. I heard that he is good at painting, especially the 0-palace picture of Spring Palace. I am very interested."

Zhu Houzhao said, and then said, "You don't have to leave in a hurry, but do you intend to be the director of the attendant's office next to me and be appointed as the official rank of Hanlin Academy for the Prosecutor?"

Zhu Houzhao has always had the idea of ​​recruiting some imperial literati, especially Xu Jing and Tang Bohu, who have experienced setbacks and dissatisfaction with the powerful. Because their pens are sharp and they must be full of fighting spirit. In the future, they will inevitably have to fight against civil officials in the public opinion circle. They must cultivate a few good "war generals" who are playing with their pens in advance.

Although Xu Jing didn't know what official position the director of the attendant's office was, he knew that the Hanlin Academy's review was an official position that the third-class Jinshi could only be obtained after he was selected as a Shujishi.

This means that as long as he agrees, he can change his fate of being able to follow the official (the fraud case in the 12th year of Hongzhi was sentenced to be a minor official).

So, Xu Jing hurriedly gave another big gift: "Student, thank Your Majesty for your appreciation!"

"You should call yourself a humble minister. Tell you that righteous brother and ask him to come to Beijing to see me quickly, otherwise you will not be the director of the attendant's office, but you can only be a attendant!"

Zhu Houzhao said that, and asked Xu Jing to retreat, and then ordered Liu Jin to continue to host the luxury auction of the Royal Expo.

Xu Jing had already received the certificate from Wei Bin, and then personally directed his servant to carry the glass night pearls bought from 30,000 taels of silver back.

Xu Jing did not think that he was stupid because he wanted to use this to make a relationship with the emperor, but he did not expect the emperor to be so generous and indeed rewarded him with a Hanlin Academy for a review. After thinking about this, Xu Jing felt that even if he spent another 30,000 taels, it would be worth it.

So Xu Jing hurriedly ordered his servant: "You can go to the store to get a hundred thousand bill of exchange! Master, I want to buy it again!"

Here, Liu Jin has ordered someone to carry out the second luxury product produced by Royal Industries - Crystal Lotus Guanyin.

The so-called Crystal Lotus Guanyin is actually made of glass, but the production cost of Crystal Lotus Guanyin is higher, almost two taels of silver, mainly because it requires that before the glass liquid is completely solidified into glass, the carving worker quickly carves out the Crystal Lotus Guanyin with a knife before it is completely solidified into glass.

Because once the glass solidifies, even if it is partially solidified, it will cause the glass to make crystal lotus Guanyin. Once the glass solidifies, it will be very hard. Although ordinary glass is brittle, it has high hardness. After all, the main ingredient is silica, which generally requires diamond cutting to be cut before it is cut.

Therefore, the carving needs to be carved before the glass liquid solidifies, so it consumes a lot of glass to make this crystal sitting lotus Guanyin, so it is worth two taels of silver.

Zhu Houzhao originally set the starting price of 10,000 taels, but because the glass night pearl was successfully auctioned at a high price of 30,000 taels, he asked Liu Jin to change it to 15,000 taels.

On this side, Liu Jin pointed to the crystal sitting lotus Guanyin held by the two internal officials and said, "This is the royal collection of the Tang Dynasty Crystal sitting lotus Guanyin. After being consecrated by Master Xuanzang, you can see that this luster is Buddha's light. The owner can ensure that there are no diseases, no disasters, many children and many blessings!"

What ordinary people pursue is nothing more than illness, disaster, and many children and blessings. Therefore, when the crystal lotus Guanyin was auctioned, it was scrambled by the people below.

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Tener than 18,000 taels!"

"Twenty thousand taels!"

Finally, it rose to 28,000 taels under Gu Dayong's rush!

At this time, Xu Jing shouted again: "Thirty thousand taels!"

Gu Dayong decided to raise his head again: "Thirty-five thousand taels!"

"Forty thousand taels!" Xu Jing raised his head again.

"Forty-five thousand taels!" At this time, a monk also shouted, and it was obvious that this Guanyin statue was also very attractive to the monks.

"Forty-six thousand taels!"

"Forty-seven thousand taels!"

"Fifty thousand taels!"

There are still many people rushing to buy it, enough to see that there are still many good men and women in the Ming Dynasty. They may also regret not snatching the glass night pearl because of their worship of Guanyin. After all, they saw with their own eyes that Xu Jing bought the glass night pearl and then got the official position. It can be said that they have a prosperous official career. This means that if they get the Royal Crystal ****, they can really be free from illness, disaster, and many children and blessings.

"You go away, my old lady is going to bid 60,000 taels!"
