Chapter 30 Touching Porcelain

Because there were Lu Ergou and four people who sometimes returned some news from the market. Now Wang Hua is no longer as ignorant as he first arrived in Luoyang.

First there was the Zheng family and then the Wang family. These two big families were successively handed over to themselves. Then, they would either curry favor with the Wang and Zheng family and keep him out, or they would be greedy for the profits his lacquerware could bring to the store, and then there would be no unpleasant things to happen again, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Qizhenxuan and Hanlinzhai.

It is true that Wang and Zheng are giants of the Tang Dynasty, nor are they worthy of being provoked by themselves. But after all, this is just a little conflict and some unhappy business. For the sake of face, the two families do not have to fight with themselves as a little person and make people laugh at the world. Therefore, as long as you are careful, it doesn’t matter much.

Also, Li Tang suppressed these seven surnames and ten families very strongly, especially at the hands of Wu Zetian. Although Wu Zetian mainly dealt with the Zong family, namely the Li family, and also related to the Long group, these seven surnames and ten families still took a self-protection attitude in this extraordinary period.

Wang Hua compared the news he heard with the historical knowledge he had learned before and discovered a fact. The ten families of the seven surnames were still in the late Tang Dynasty. Because of family resources, many children passed the imperial examinations and gradually became even bigger and bigger. However, when these families controlled and embezzled more resources, they also made the social conflicts in the Tang Dynasty more intense, and finally pushed the demise of the Tang Dynasty, which actually accelerated its own demise. By the Song Dynasty, these aristocratic families had basically no influence.

Therefore, these aristocratic families are strong and not omnipotent, especially in Luoyang, the current capital. Not only are there many forces that are not afraid of these seven surnames and ten families, but some forces are quite disgusted with these seven surnames and ten families.

As for the three lacquer boxes of Wang Hua, Wang Hua must be perfect to the extreme in order to make it perfect. In addition to giving it exquisite craftsmanship, it also gave it a strong humanistic atmosphere.

The third lacquer box does not draw a horse, but a person who paints it and four pictures of seeking talents. And my three "The Horse" talks about the relationship between talents. Therefore, this third lacquer box is not only exquisitely crafted than the first two, but also more luxurious, but also the true essence of this combination.

Only when the third paint box is completed can this set of combination have a soul. Otherwise, the first two paint boxes can only be said to be a handicraft as the young master of the Wang family.

Therefore, it is believed that one or two merchants who are interested in it will not be one or two merchants, especially those who are hostile to Hanlinzhai.

But Wang Hua did not explain to Lu Ergou and the others.

The news spread much faster than Wang Hua imagined. It was mainly Wang Hua's cursive script, the poem, and the dispute with Wang Jiasanlang. This incident itself was very gossip. Therefore, Wang Hua brought the lacquer box to Hanlinzhai and opened it. The magnificence and incomparable luxury and exquisiteness of this lacquer box shocked everyone and spread it.

Ordinary people just brag about it, but when they hear it, they will know the meaning of this paint box.

On the second day, several groups of merchants, who didn't know which path to learn about Wang Hua's residence address, came to visit. However, no agreement was made. The merchants said that because these three paint boxes were set, and now they were single, their value was also degraded. So the highest one was just for Hanlinzhai to pay the first two paint boxes.

In the meantime, some people do not understand the true meaning of the third paint box, and some are price-lowering.

Wang Hua didn't even talk, so he sent them out directly.

Until the next day, an old man came, he first said to Wang Hua: "Little Langjun, can you let me see the lacquerware first?"

Look, Wang Hua moved it out.

The old man looked at it for a while before he reluctantly retracted his eyes. He said, "How much does Xiaolangjun want it to sell for?"

"Old sir, I'm not a businessman. If you are satisfied with the price you offer, I'll sell it."

Don't ask me, it depends on your sincerity.

The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while. He had heard of these two paint boxes before, and he had specially visited Hanlinzhai to see them. Now he is aftertaste. After all, it is also a big deal, so he has to think clearly.

Wang Hua didn't urge him either.

The old man thought for a while before saying, "I am the shopkeeper of Baolinzhai."

Wang Huayixiao: "I don't care about this. I just make and sell it. I also want to open a store. As for who is the buyer, it doesn't matter. I only know whoever offers the right price. I don't want to bargain with others."

The first time the King of Linzi gave him two golden leaves, he did not say he would add money. The second and third time the Hanlinzhai gave him money, he did not say he would add money. However, he had a low point in his heart.

The old man said: "No, I mean, Xiaolangjun is now having a fuss with Hanlinzhai, and he also needs to find a stable source of sales."

"Old sir, the so-called wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Wang Hua replied. Don't use this to deceive me. Now almost the entire Luoyang City knows the lacquerware I made, so I don't have to worry about sales.

The old man looked at Wang Hua and thought to himself, this little guy is so cunning, is he really twelve or thirteen years old? He said again: "Little Langjun, even so, he has a stable and sincere sales path, which will save you a lot of trouble."

The old man is interesting. A smile appeared on Wang Hua's face. He wanted to suppress the price, but he didn't say it bluntly, and he said it very tactfully.

Wang Hua patted the box and said, "Sincerity is not something you say."

It’s useless to say nothing, you have to make it. If you are sincere, you can offer a sincere price.

The old man said, "One million."

Although the old man had the highest price among all the visitors in the past two days, Wang Hua still shook his head. Just kidding, the cost of this paint box alone reached more than 400,000 yuan. No matter how much he consumed, it was twice as much as the first two paint boxes. This was because Lu Ergou and the other four helped, otherwise it would have been far more than it would have been, not to mention its value.

The old man obviously knew the result, and he said, "Little Langjun, I also know that the price is a bit low. But because you sold the first two paint boxes to Hanlinzhai, if we buy this paint box, it would be equivalent to having a face with Hanlinzhai. I think you understand this risk, let alone confuse the Taiyuan Wang family."

"Old sir, just talk straight to the point. Don't go around in circles. Since you dare to come to me to buy this paint box, you won't be afraid of the power of Hanlinzhai. And since the old sir can pay this price, you will surely understand its true meaning. One million and two million yuan are my bottom line."

"Okay, the deal." The old man saw the boy's face with a sudden appearance and knew that the price would not be reduced. He didn't see what he wrote, "How can I bow my head and serve the powerful and unhappy!" The boy had a strong personality.

Lu Ergou and the other four were raucous, one million and two million! It seemed as if Wang Hua had suffered a loss. Think about it, what would it look like if all the money was paid with copper coins?

Just this box?

Therefore, the ideas of laymen are different from those of insiders.

The craftsmanship of this lacquer box has broken through the entire era. Moreover, because of the careful production of Wang Hua, it is extremely magnificent and has great collection and ornamental value. The most important point is the humanistic atmosphere mentioned by Wang Hua.

Besides, the cost of this paint box itself is very huge, so the price is a bit low.

The old man waved his hand to let the servants come in. The money was ready long ago, and it was impossible to trade copper coins as Lu Ergou thought, and all of them were exchanged for gold leaves. It should be said that Wang Huasheng was a little better at this time. One hundred years later, because of the lack of money, the Tang Dynasty forced to stipulate that more than half of the transactions of huge sums must be replaced by cloth. Think about it, 600,000 yuan of cloth would also take up a huge size. What is most worrying is that the government began to not allow the cabinet to save money. If you have money, you have to keep it at home. This is even more troublesome and it is easy to provoke thieves.

The old man then left a famous post and said, "Little Langjun, if you have any utensils in the future, even if you come to Baolinzhai for sale, I will be responsible for not happening similar things to Qizhenxuan and Hanlinzhai."

Wang Hua smiled and said nothing. There is no eternal thing in the world. There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies. Let’s talk about the future later.

After sending the old man away, Wang Hua went to the cabinet to save the money.

But as soon as I walked back, there were three young men blocking the road ahead.

Because he offended Qi Zhenxuan and Hanlinzhai, he was more careful during this period. Therefore, he took the initiative to do so.

But these young men came to him and bumped into him. Then he heard a "bang" sound, and something fell to the ground and shattered.

Wang Hua did not look down, but he already understood that this was the trick of these young people playing the "strike-up" trick.
