The Song Dynasty shocked the world by earning 100 million at the beginning

As soon as the picture was less than one foot wide open, Liu Yuanhui, who had a talent for appreciating cultural relics, recognized that this was the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". It was more colorful than the one he had seen in the museum, and it did not have as many paintings as those painted by Qianlong. The seal does not have the inscription of Song Huizong.

Liu Yuanhui couldn't hide his excitement at this time. He signaled to Zhang Zeduan not to push the scroll anymore and asked: "Brother Zhang, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"Three...thirty taels..." Zhang Zeduan said.

"I'll pay three hundred taels!" Liu Yuanhui interrupted Zhang Zeduan and said.

Zhang Zeduan couldn't believe his ears, three hundred taels! ?

This seems to be more money than he can spend in his lifetime!

How did he know that this painting of his would be a priceless treasure for future generations to live in?

Zhang Zeduan left holding a pile of silver coins as if sleepwalking.

"Mr. Liu! Yutang really doesn't understand any of your actions in participating in valuation today!" Cheng Yutang said.

"Sister Cheng! My operation today, the paintings of Li Tang and Zhao Youliang, can make us profitable very quickly. Wang Ximeng will make us profitable in the future. As for Zhang Zeduan, that one is not for sale. I want to keep it for myself! I will also make money from my personal It's on the account!" Liu Yuanhui said.

……

After returning to Liu Mansion, Liu Yuanhui immediately called Bailey into the room.

"Bailey, how's the Cuju competition going?" Liu Yuanhui asked while writing quickly on the paper.

"The admission tickets have been sold out, the billboards have been put up, everything is ready, our game is the day after tomorrow!" Bailey replied.

"Very good! Of these three letters, give this one to Miss Li from Yichun Court, this one to the housekeeper of the Cuju Court, and the last one to Miss Cheng!" Liu Yuanhui said.

Bailey took the letter and asked, "Master, what kind of letter is this?"

Liu Yuanhui moved his knuckles and said, "This is a fortune letter!"

That night, Cheng Yutang, Li Shishi and Ni Dacheng received letters from Liu Yuanhui respectively.

"Pfft! This Young Master Liu is also very bad!" Cheng Yutang stood in front of the window and laughed.

"Hahahaha, this is a wonderful move by the young master!" Ni Dacheng, the butler who lives temporarily at the Cuju farm, couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised.

"I told Mr. Liu about King Yan's return to the capital. Why did he ask me to spread the news? Strange!" Master Li muttered to himself in front of the mirror in the boudoir.

Just as she was wondering, Hua's mother's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Li! Li Cai and Li are here to see you again! Should I send him away again?"

After hearing this, Master Li looked at Liu Yuanhui's letter, thought for a moment and said, "Let Mr. Li come in!"

Mother Hua was startled, and then said: "Okay!"

Then he turned and shouted downstairs: "Master Li! Miss Li invites you!"

Li Cai is a wealthy landlord who often bullies his tenant farmers and lends money to the public at usury. He is a complete scumbag.

He spent a lot of money many times just to see Li Shishi, but he was turned away every time.

This time, I finally met Master Li, whom I had been dreaming about. Not to mention Mother Hua, even Li Cai himself was surprised.

Li Shishi first played a piece of music on the piano, and then chatted with Li Cai.

"I heard that King Yan has finished his business in the south recently and is planning to return to Beijing to select disaster relief officials. I wonder if Mr. Li knows about this matter?" Li Shishi said casually.

"Prince Yan has returned to the capital?" Li Cai was surprised at first, and then quickly said: "I really don't know about this matter. Can Miss Shishi tell Li in detail?"

Li Shishi smiled slightly and said: "The Nu family also heard from hearsay that people in the south were panicking due to the uprising. Coupled with the drought some time ago, there were a large number of refugees. It happened that the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs in the imperial court retired and returned to their hometowns. For a while, there is a lack of manpower to handle disaster relief matters. I heard from the slave family that Prince Yan is very worried about this matter!"

King Yan is the younger brother of the current emperor. He is upright and loyal to the emperor. The only failure in his life may be that he gave birth to a son like Zhao Youliang who cannot support him.

Li Cai's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that King Yan was looking for officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

You must know that these days, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and businessmen have the lowest status and are the most looked down upon.

Any big businessman with some ability these days will find a way to find an official position in the court, just for the convenience of doing things and to improve his status at the same time.

Li Cai is also one of them.

It was just Hube, but it was something he had never dared to think about before.

For such a high-ranking official, he could never get his turn.

Especially King Yan, who is even more monolithic, there is no way for him to get close to him.

However, it is impossible not to be moved.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is still in the position of disaster relief. Just thinking about it, you know how much money can be made!

Maybe after doing this, he could take his whole family and find a place with beautiful scenery to retire in, which would be enough to support him for several lifetimes!

He rolled his eyes a few times and said to Master Li: "Hey, in fact, Li has a long-cherished wish to enter politics, and he also bought a county magistrate Dangdang for Quanzi from Taiwei Gao, but I heard that King Yan is a rigid person, and he is unscrupulous. Don’t go in, don’t hide it from Miss Shishi, Li is very thoughtful and flexible, but he has no way out!”

Li Cai looked troubled.

Beside him, Master Li smiled slightly: "Master Li, I heard that many people are indirectly doing business with King Yan by buying the paintings of Zhao Youliang, the third son of King Yan."

"Is there such a thing?! I wonder where Mr. Zhao lives now?" Li Cai asked quickly.
