Chapter 303: Great Harvest
"here it is……"
Wen Yiming looked at the dark cave, Liu Datong and Heihu lit torches, first went in to explore the way, and soon news came that it was very safe inside.
"Qianlong blue and white pink color spring double-ear bottle!"
"A pair of open bottles with icing on the cake in Qianlong's pink ground!"
"Enamel Western character Guanyin bottle!"
"Blue and white sea water auspicious clouds and dragon pattern plum vase!"
"Qianlong made a jade carving of Ma Yuan Situ Tu Shanzi!"
"A pair of Hotan seed-filled auspicious beasts!"
When the treasure chests were all opened, the audience was silent! More than a dozen treasured heavy weapons in Prince Gong’s Mansion made a brilliant debut.
"Look at this Qianlong pink and green glaze relief cyan dragon master's son! It was made by Qianlong as the Supreme Emperor and specially burned for Jiaqing. Su Fu was a similar shot from the previous year, 94 million!"
Wen Yiming was excited and was deeply shocked by these top court porcelain and jade. He browsed it quickly and found that it was all old collections of Prince Gong’s Mansion, and it was priceless!
"Porcelain is a trivial matter, look at calligraphy and paintings!"
Wen Yiming excitedly took stock of the calligraphy and paintings filled with three boxes, all of which were secret collections of the inner palace. They were recorded by Shiqu Baoji, and were masterpieces of the Four Kings and Four Monks.
"Wang Shimin's Cangyan Wancui Tu hand scroll!"
"Spring landscape map large vertical axis!"
"This is the picture of the dangerous stone green pine in Wang Jian in 1661!"
"The 1668 antique landscape albums are ten open!"
"Picture of Wang Huijiang Mountain after the rain"
"Hand scrolls with bamboo pictures in 1698!"
"Wang Yuanqi's rainy mood hand-rolled in the stream and mountain!"
Wen Yiming looked at two boxes of more than 30 fine works by the Four Kings and Four Monks, and lamented that he was worthy of being the Prince Gong’s Mansion. His hair was thicker than his thighs at random!
"Sir, there is an account book here."
Wen Yiming took the account book and finally understood why Zuoshan Diao had so many treasures in Prince Gong's Mansion. This guy is worthy of being brave!
In 1776, Heshen, who was in the limelight, built a grand mansion with a high profile. Not only did he live in it himself, but he also served as the residence of Princess Hexiao Gulun and her son-in-law Fengshen Yinde. Unfortunately, just a few days after Emperor Qianlong passed away, Heshen was killed by Emperor Jiaqing.
Then Emperor Jiaqing Heshen gave his brother, Prince Qing Yonglin, to his home. Until March of the first year of Xianfeng, Emperor Xianfeng transferred the Prince Qing Mansion to his younger brother, Prince Gong Yi, and then he was called Prince Gong Mansion.
"Biographies of Famous People in Modern and Modern" records that Yi, who is diligent in studying and writing, has a quick and easy calligraphy, and has a special understanding of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty. He has a special feature of calligraphy and painting.
After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, Pu Wei, the grandson of Prince Gong Yi, lived in this house. He was born with a talented person and had political ambitions. He wanted to inherit his grandfather's will and support the Qing Dynasty.
In order to restore the army, he purchased arms in large quantities, recruited soldiers, and secretly organized the army to support the king. Recruiting the army required a large amount of funds, so he could only sell the cultural relics and land of the Prince Gong Mansion.
Shortly after the news came out, the news that Pu Wei wanted to sell the treasures collected in Prince Gong's Mansion spread like wildfire in the capital. At that time, there were very few buyers who could afford such a large number of cultural relics, and the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly the most powerful one.
President Tachijiro Yamaakana recorded his first Taobao experience in his memoirs: In the spacious courtyard, there are rows of warehouses filled with treasures, which are divided into Ruyi Library, calligraphy and painting Library, and bronze Library, with about dozens of rooms. The items in each room are covered with thick layers of gray. In the library, you can see countless jade jewelry, which are as numerous as rice in a rice shop.
The antique dealer of the island country was shocked by the scene before him. He bought some of the old collections of Prince Gong's Mansion and transported them back to the island country in several batches from the three eastern provinces. The next year, he held a special auction in New York and London at the same time.
In 1913, these high-level artworks attracted large antique dealers around the world. None of the items failed to be sold, with the highest price per piece being US$6,400 and the total transaction price was US$280,000, setting a record for auction at that time.
If we look at the price at that time, US$280,000 is much more valuable than RMB 10 billion!
As for why there are so many treasures here in Zuoshan Diao? The reason is very simple, wealth and danger are sought!
According to the account book, Zuoshan Diao accidentally received a secret news that the islanders wanted to transport a batch of treasures back to China. At that time, he had just started and needed money to recruit soldiers and decided to take risks and do a big deal!
After bribery, he took all his troops to attack Yunbao convoy. It was God's help that he was in danger and got these treasures from Prince Gong's Mansion.
Later, he secretly sold a small part of it, raised military funds, recruited soldiers and strengthened his strength. Later, he was recruited by the island country, so he naturally could not let the other party know about this group of treasures, so he hid it secretly, which was the capital to make a comeback in the end.
Wen Yiming looked at the seven or eight large boxes in front of him. This was only one percent of the one from Prince Gong's Mansion back then. According to the information, if you transport two major ships back to China in one go, you can imagine how many treasures you have lost!
"Is this Tang Bohu's beauty?"
Wen Yiming opened the last treasure chest and found that they were all pictures of Tang Bohu’s beauty! There were at least twenty or thirty pictures, each of which was classic.
"If you don't say anything else, Yamaakashi Takijiro is worthy of being a big expert. Each of these collections costs more than tens of millions, and many more than 100 million are easy to do."
After taking stock of the collection, Heifeng said excitedly: "Sixty-six porcelains, thirty-six jades, thirty-five pictures of the Four Kings and Four Monks, and twenty-three pictures of the beauty Tang Bohu, the value is immeasurable!"
"Hahaha, this time it's a great harvest!"
Wen Yiming smiled at the sky and everyone smiled happily. The treasure hunt has gained the most today!
According to conservative estimates, this batch of treasures in Prince Gong's Mansion is worth at least 5 billion. Of course, many of them have to be collected by the museum when they go back, and can directly open up new exhibition halls, representing the highest aesthetic level of the Qing court.
The rest of the items, let Tiancheng organize a special auction. Over the years, only two international leaders, Sufubi and Jiashide, have the ability to collect old collections from Prince Gong's Mansion. Jiade Baoli can only collect sporadic collections, and each piece is a popular market pursuit.
It is conceivable how much sensation Tiancheng will cause this time, which is definitely no less than the first time it started. When I called Ling Tiancheng, the other party wanted to grow wings and fly directly into the mountains to see these treasures with my own eyes.
It took everyone three days to transport the treasure chest down the mountain. On the way back, Wen Yiming was leisurely and comfortable. He originally thought that the one billion funds were not enough, so many treasure hunts would have to go to the museum. Today, it happened that at least half of them could be auctioned. Not only would Tiancheng auction become more popular, but he could earn at least 200 to 30 billion yuan. Only with sufficient ammunition could he fight a tough battle.
Back at the villa, several old men began to organize the collections. Each one was a fine product and it was difficult to choose. It took a long time to argue. Wen Yiming decided to say, "Mingyuanzhai designed another exhibition hall, which can be treasured by Prince Gong's Mansion. Let's classify all the collections, keep the best, and take photos of the others!"
"I'm dizzy now. I really feel the feeling of the Forbidden City experts. Even if it's a famous masterpiece, it's disgusting to see it for so long!"
Ling Tiancheng suddenly rose to a new level this time. He couldn't let go of any of the four kings and four monks before. After this time, he was completely uninterested in the Qing Dynasty and was tired of playing!
Ling Junsheng also sighed: "We have compiled eighteen pictures of the Four Kings and Four Monks, all of which are screens, all of which are left in hand scrolls and albums. Twenty pieces of porcelain, sixteen pieces of jade, and all the rest are left in the photo."
Manager Wu answered: "Tang Bohu wants to stay all of them. All the selected products in the mountains are fine. I suggest that it is better to have a special exhibition hall, and then specialize in the pictures of beauty, and hide the beauty in the golden house!"
