Jin Jian was stunned for a moment, and based on his professional knowledge and understanding of the market, he gave a price of 10 billion, which would be able to sell two to three million taels of silver.

But there are very few people who can afford this price. Except for the nouveau riche from the 13th industry in Guangdong and the well-established families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, probably only Westerners can afford it.

I'm afraid even the princes won't be able to pay for this in the capital.

Jin Jian thought for a while and said: "If you sell eight pieces together, I'm afraid no one can eat them. But if you sell one piece individually, I think the market in the capital can digest it."

Jia Liu nodded without saying anything, walked to a jade mountain and asked Jin Jian what it was.

"Back to the emperor, this jade mountain was named Dayu's flood control. It was built by Emperor Qianlong's Ministry of Internal Affairs. It took ten years to build. It is nine feet and five inches high and weighs more than 10,700 kilograms. The value of the jade alone is worth 600,000 taels.

, it can be sold for at least 1.5 million taels after it is carved."

Maybe he realized that His Majesty the Sixth Emperor was more concerned about the value of artworks, so Jin Jian thoughtfully gave an internal appraisal price for each treasure, but cunningly discounted it by 50%.

Even if it can be sold for one million taels in the market, the maximum it can get from him is 500,000 taels.

Maybe you want to take advantage of the price difference.

Lao A also realized this, but he did not expose Jin Jian, but prepared to do this deal with Jin Jian.

Of course, the premise is that His Majesty the Emperor is really willing to sell the treasures in the palace.

As long as the emperor opens his mouth, he, the middleman, will make the decision.

No one can steal it!

Jia Liu is really considering selling this treasure.

First of all, he doesn't have a bad habit of collecting, and he doesn't like to turn so many handed down treasures into a private property. This is also the thought of "enjoyment alone is not as good as enjoyment by everyone".

Therefore, two options are being considered.

The first is to sell some relatively recent calligraphy and painting works, as well as jade, gold and silver crafts, etc. This will not only promote the prosperity of the cultural market, but also increase the country's financial revenue.

As long as the state treasury has money, it can develop on a large scale. When the country develops, the people will naturally benefit from it. Not to mention letting the more than 300 million people in the Qing Dynasty get to a well-off society in advance. It should not be difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.

The second is to take out some treasures and set up a museum, so that people all over the world, regardless of poverty or origin, can have a look at these treasures left by their predecessors.

Although this incident cannot generate financial revenue, it is a real thing that can truly make people all over the world feel the atmosphere of the reform.

As for his personal life, just get a few hundred pieces and put them under the bed to gather dust. There is no need to leave them all to get moldy.

In the future, if there is a revolution and future generations have no money to eat, they can just take out a few and sell them.

Thinking of this, I asked Jin Jian how many antiques were collected in the Forbidden City.

The golden slips say that there are probably more than 13,000 pieces collected in the palace, including 2,000 calligraphy and painting works from the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, 2,000 calligraphy and painting works from the Ming Dynasty, and the rest are various jade, gold and silver carved works.

In addition, Changchun Garden, Old Summer Palace and other places also collected a large number of treasures, with a total of seven to eight thousand pieces.

The old man tried to figure out the holy intention and immediately said: "Your Majesty, assuming that the imperial mausoleum of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi is X, then the treasures stored in the palace are X multiplied by 100."

What is X?

The valuable artwork unearthed from the tomb of the holy ancestor Kangxi was sold for about 8 million taels, so X is 8 million taels, multiplied by another one hundred, 800 million taels!

This number means that Jia Liu did nothing and simply lay in the Forbidden City eating and waiting to die, which would allow the Qing Dynasty to transition to peace until the arrival of the Paris Commune.

The problem is that the domestic market will definitely not be able to sell it at this price.

Therefore, great powers need to intervene.

In Jia Liu's view, the great powers at this time were also serious businessmen.

Otherwise, hundreds of millions of taels of silver would not flow into the East every year.

It will take at least fifty years before they no longer want to be serious businessmen.

But in the past fifty years, Jia Liu was able to open an international museum, rob their things and sell them at high prices.

If you want to say it's tacky, just change it.

It's like exchanging this Jade Mountain for several steam engines. Who do you think is the best deal?

Thinking of this, Jia Liu no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the gold slips: "All calligraphy and painting works stamped with the Qianlong Imperial Treasure, Sanxitang Jingjian Seal, Yi Zisun and other seals, and those that are no more than three hundred years old, will be taken out."

Go sell it, and handicrafts made of gold, silver, jade and stoneware can be sold regardless of age...It doesn’t matter who the buyer is, even a Western devil, as long as the person can afford the high price, they can sell it."

When Lao A heard that this was not possible, how could such a wealthy person take advantage of a young man like Jin Jian? Just when he was about to protest, Lao Ji Ru's voice came from outside the house: "Your Majesty, you can't, you can't!"

The excited Lao Ji rushed in and pointed angrily at the emperor, regardless of the difference between the emperor and his ministers.

It's just that the Sixth Emperor was not the master of the people and actually wanted to sell Chinese treasures to the Western devils. It was simply a waste of money. This was even more unacceptable than losing power and humiliating the country!

"The things belong to me. I can sell them however I want. What are you talking about!"

Jia Liu was also angry. Why did he ask you, Lao Ji, to agree to selling his own things?

Besides, it's better for me to sell it myself than for you guys to steal it.

"..."

Lao Ji was stunned, and then stamped his foot angrily: "The emperor can sell it if he really wants to, but we, the people of the Qing Dynasty, must have the right of first refusal! Officials must also enjoy discounts when purchasing!"
