Collection of Gods

Chapter 290
According to records such as "History of the Ming Dynasty", "Ming Hui Yao", and "History of the Ming Palace", the 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty are: the treasure of Fengtian, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor's trust, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor, The treasure of the emperor's trust, the treasure of respecting relatives, the treasure of kissing relatives, the treasure of making edicts, the treasure of edicts, the treasure of Guangyun, the treasure of respecting heaven and diligent people, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of commending classics and history, the treasure of imperial inscriptions, elixir The treasure of talismans, the treasure of destiny, the treasure of destiny, the treasure of patrolling the world, the treasure of admonishment, the treasure of fate and virtue, the treasure of punishing sins and bringing peace to the people, and the treasure of rectifying the people.

Today in Tang Yuan, everything has been confirmed. Among them, the most precious jade seal is naturally the Ming Dynasty Fengtian Treasure, which is used to worship heaven and earth, followed by the Emperor's Treasure, the Emperor's Travel Treasure, the Emperor's Trust Treasure, the Emperor's Treasure, and the Emperor's Treasure. Xingbao and Emperor Xinbao respectively have the functions of edicts, canonization, granting labor, edicts to princes, edicts to ministers, and dispatching troops and generals.

The remaining seventeen jade seals also have their own uses.

In the past, the jade seal could only be seen in history books, but now it was really in front of everyone. The shocking feeling from the heart was really hard for everyone to express.

"Mr. Tang, do you intend to take action on these jade seals?"

"As long as you nod, our Sotheby's auction house can hold a special auction of the highest standard for you around the world, and we can waive commissions for you, and all auction proceeds will belong to you personally."

Xu Chengwei, the Yanjing branch manager of Sotheby's Auction House, spoke first, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the study. After Xu Chengwei sent out the invitation, the heads of other auction houses were not to be left behind and began to try. Fight for Tang Yuan.

"Mr. Tang, our Christie's Auction House has had very pleasant cooperation with you many times. If you are interested in selling these Great Ming Jade Seals, our Christie's Auction House will definitely give you the most perfect plan."

As soon as Xu Chengwei finished speaking, Fan Longjiang, manager of the Yanjing branch of Christie's auction house, not to be outdone, then extended the same invitation with an extremely sincere expression.

"Cough cough..."

"Mr. Tang, I have to remind you here."

"You discovered these Great Ming Jade Seals from the stone tablets. There is no doubt that they belong to you. However, any one of your Great Ming Jade Seals will definitely reach the level of precious cultural relics after being classified as a cultural relic. level, which is what ordinary people commonly call national treasure-level cultural relics.”

"According to the relevant documents issued by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, national treasure-level cultural relics cannot leave the country, which means that whether you collect them alone or resell them, these jade seals cannot leave the country, otherwise they will violate the law."

While Xu Chengwei and Fan Jianglong were competing for it, Peng Gang, deputy director of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, who had never said a few words, coughed twice and reminded Tang Yuan.

"Chief Peng, national treasures are not allowed to leave the country, and must be reported to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage at regular intervals. I understand these rules, don't worry."

Tang Yuan smiled at the other party and gave him reassurance.

"Mr. Tang, if you have any plans to sell these Great Ming Jade Seals, you may wish to consider our Palace Museum. 2019 has just begun. Our Palace Museum has very abundant funds. As long as you are willing to negotiate, the price we will give will definitely Something that will satisfy you.”

Su Ping, the director of the Palace Museum, who had been standing in the corner since he arrived, seemingly insignificant, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He spoke quickly and his expression was extremely sincere.

Xu Chengwei and others who were surrounding Tang Yuan looked a little ugly when they saw Su Ping's sudden attack.

As a unit directly under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Palace Museum allocates funds to it every year. These funds are generally used for the maintenance and restoration of cultural relics. In addition, these funds can also be used to purchase precious cultural relics lost among the people.As the largest museum of ancient culture and art in China and one of the three largest palaces in the world, the Palace Museum is famous all over the world and is one of the must-see attractions for countless Chinese and foreign tourists after arriving in Yanjing.

In terms of status, looking at the whole country, only the National Museum can barely surpass it.

With such an existence, the amount of national funds it receives every year is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

The 24 seals of the Ming Dynasty are indeed priceless and extremely precious, but if the Palace Museum is ready to tighten its belt for the whole year and bite the bullet and buy them all, it will not be a problem.

"Hey!"

"Old Su, what you are doing is unethical!"

"Our experts at the National Museum have been busy here for most of the day. Even if we want to buy back the 24 Seals of the Ming Dynasty, we, the National Museum, must buy back first. Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?"

As Su Ping finished speaking, before Tang Yuan had time to say anything, Dong Wenhui couldn't help but jump a little. He glared at Su Ping with his bull's eyes and started yelling.

"In the market economy, there is no first-come-first-served basis. Only the one with the highest price gets it." Su Ping glanced sideways at Dong Wenhui and said without fear: "Your National Museum of China repurchased two bronze tripods from overseas in the first year of the year. Now the National Museum of China must compare with the funding. But we, and the main collection of our Palace Museum is from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The 24 Ming Dynasty Seals are in our Palace Museum, so that is the perfect place. Why are you National Museum following along to join in the fun?"

"Whatever happens to you, the Palace Museum is the best place to go!"

"Although our collection of Ming and Qing Dynasty exhibition halls in the National Museum is not as large as yours, we all have the best of the best. In my opinion, the 24 Seals of the Ming Dynasty are most suitable to be placed in our National Museum. If you, the Palace Museum, like it, it won't matter if we buy it for the National Museum." , I’ll lend it to you for display for half a year!”

Dong Wenhui was so angry at Su Ping that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and his argument became louder. Looking at his posture, he almost rolled up his sleeves.

"Don't argue with us. We will buy it and let you display it for a year."

Su Ping did not give in. If this was something else, then he would give in. But something like the 24 Great Ming Seals can become a treasure wherever it is placed. As long as there is a slight chance, He won't even give in.

If he really gave in, he would probably be scolded to death by those old guys when he returned to the museum.

Tang Yuan looked at Dong Wenhui and Su Ping, two old men who were over fifty years old. They were like children who were not giving in to each other. He couldn't help but smile a little, and then quickly raised his hand to stop the argument between the two old men: " Director Dong, Dean Su, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Fan, please stop arguing. I plan to collect these 24 Ming seals myself and have no intention of selling them for the time being..."
