After sending Adelaide and Turner away, Zhu Xuan ordered Wu Yongfeng to find out the weight of a gold or silver coin among Western currencies.
I saw more than ten boxes of gold and silver placed on the deck.
Wu Yongfeng had never seen so much money. The Western tycoon spent a lot of money and bought all the remaining goods they had. This was an unexpected surprise and something they did not expect.
"Your Highness, a gold or silver coin from the West is a little heavier than one or two."
Wu Yongfeng immediately took out hundreds of coins, weighed them carefully, and finally came to this result, saying: "Gold coins and silver coins are the same. When they minted coins, they controlled the weight very well."
Zhu Xuan said: "In other words, one silver coin is equivalent to one tael of our silver and a little more. It is similar to the silver coins we cast in Annan. Their measurement standards are slightly different from ours."
This error is not very large, so there is no need to calculate the weight difference between different currencies.
Wu Yongfeng nodded and said: "That's true. The purchasing power of Western gold and silver coins is a little different from that of our Ming Dynasty, but it's not very big. Does His Highness want to set a price for porcelain?"
The value of their set of porcelain has not yet been determined.
Zhu Xuan mainly wants to determine the purchasing power of the local currency and finally set the price, so that people in the West can wait anxiously, or look forward to it.
"Wu Yongfeng, how is your Latin practice going?"
"Basic communication is no problem."
Wu Yongfeng also has a good talent for languages. He said: "I understand everything that His Highness and Adelaide were chatting with just now."
Zhu Xuan said: "At the auction, the auctioneer is still you. The starting price for a set of porcelain is 80,000 silver coins, which is almost 80,000 taels. It is more expensive than when it was in Old Port. When the auction starts, we will put the price Announce it and let them set their own price."
"good!"
Wu Yongfeng was entrusted with an important task again and was very happy.
Zhu Xuan then ordered: "When the venue is set up, you go down and discuss it with Adelaide. You will be responsible for the whole process. I just want the results."
Wu Yongfeng said: "Okay!"
After coming to Jerusalem and getting to know Adelaide, a powerful tycoon through Turner, Zhu Xuan could feel much more relaxed.
However, Zhu Xuan has always been somewhat wary of Westerners and would not completely believe them.
"Can we go back soon?"
Xu Miaojin asked expectantly.
Zhu Xuan said: "After the auction here is done, we can go back. Sister Miaojin is homesick, right?"
Xu Miaojin nodded and said: "Think about it, it's not as good as our Ming Dynasty here."

Adelaide takes Turner back to her castle.
"Why do you want to buy all the goods of the grandson of the Ming Dynasty?" Turner asked curiously.
"Because it's valuable!"
Adelaide looked at the silk sent back and said with satisfaction: "We have so many Western nobles and wealthy businessmen. These silks and tea are very popular. I think there may not be enough to sell, even if we buy them at a high price. , and can be sold at a higher price!”
They still don't have the concept of silver and gold flowing out.
All I know is that I can use these Eastern luxury goods to make a lot of money in the West, and the precious metals flowing out are not considered.
Turner said: "The grandson of the Ming Emperor is not a simple person."
Adelaide agreed: "I think he dared to lead a fleet from the east to the west when he was only a teenager. When I was more than ten years old, I couldn't do this at all. Those porcelain... He deliberately dragged If you don’t tell us the price publicly, you probably want to make a fortune at the auction! By the way, how many nobles and wealthy businessmen are coming to the auction?”
Turner said: "All our nobles and wealthy merchants from the west have come, and the news has even spread to the Ottoman Empire, as well as Tianfang and other places. Many people have also come, totaling more than 500 people."
Adelaide said: "There are more than 500 people bidding for 300 sets of porcelain, but some people will definitely not be able to buy it. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants us to rush to bid so that the price can be higher. He knows business well."
Turner agreed: "Those Easterners are indeed very powerful, but I think you seem to want to get closer to them?"
Adelaide nodded and said: "I want to see if there is gold all over the east. If so, when I dig the canal, I can do a lot of things in the future, not just trade."
Turner knew what he was thinking.
But thinking about the three huge warships outside the port.
He felt that Adelaide's idea was basically impossible to realize.
If you dare to do that, you will be beaten!
"We make this money first and then think about other things."
Adelaide smiled and said: "Even if the East is not full of gold, their goods are more valuable than gold to us in the West."
Any piece of blue and white porcelain is a luxury product in the West.

Yingtian.
Zhu Yunxi entered the palace again, and under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he allowed Master Xuan to detoxify.
Xuanyueze was quite capable and seemed to know how to cast poison. He used some kind of poisonous insect to walk around Zhu Yunxi's body, then released it, cut his finger and released a pool of black blood.
The red line on the chest is a little lighter.
Still getting chills at night though.
When Zhu Yunxi saw those Gu insects roaming around on his body, he felt extremely resistant, even felt disgusted and had goosebumps all over his body. However, Grandpa Huang was watching from the side and had to let Xuan Yueze do whatever he wanted.
In addition, Xuanyueze also gave Zhu Yunxi some medicine to take back.
But he didn't dare to use those medicines. He boiled some and fed them to the dog, but the dog was alive and kicking without any problems.
Still, he didn't dare eat it.
I have never trusted Xuan Yueze.
However, Lao Zhu believed it.
"Yunxi, how do you feel?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked nervously.
Zhu Yunxi could only say: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is much better."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, my dear grandson. Mr. Xuan, I have to trouble you next."
Xuan Yueze said sincerely: "This is what I should do."
He also received an official position.
He became the deputy director of Tai Hospital.
"As for the traces of other members of the White Lotus Sect, does Mr. Xuan have any clues?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Xuan Yueze shook his head and said: "The White Lotus Sect must have discovered my problem and started to set up defenses against me. During this period of time, I have to help the Second Emperor's grandson detoxify and I have no time to leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Our good grandson is more important. The White Lotus Sect will talk about it later. No matter what, we must help Yunxi detoxify first. As long as Mr. Xuan can do it, we will reward him heavily."
Xuanyueze bowed and said, "I will do my best!"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes heated up as he listened to Grandpa Huang's words. He knew that Grandpa Huang was still sincere for himself, but he was not sure whether Xuan Yueze was a serious person.
"It would be nice if my little brother was here."
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of Zhu Xuan.
If Zhu Xuan is here, there must be a way to determine whether there is something wrong with Xuan Yueze.
