Inside Li Jin's mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was completely shocked by the grandeur of Li Jin's mansion.
As soon as he entered Li Jin's mansion, he saw a corridor that was winding and winding, with no end in sight.
Both sides of the corridor were dotted with colored glaze, and inside these colored glazes were exquisite oil lamps for lighting at night.
Of course there are corridors in the palace, but the palace is not so luxurious as to decorate oil lamps with colored glass.
Under the sunlight, the glass looks beautiful and dazzling.
On both sides of the corridor, there are several pools that can spray water on their own.
Within these pools, every once in a while, many streams of water will automatically spray upwards. When they reach a certain height, they will all fall into the pool again.
These water flows are very neat, and after spraying out, they appear in an encircling ring shape, which is extremely beautiful.
Because of these water flows, walking on the corridor feels very refreshing and comfortable.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely shocked by this device that could spray water, but the luxury of Li Jin's mansion was not just that.
The moment he saw Li entering the living room, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
The houses in Li Jin's house are all made of orange glazed tiles. The glazed tiles sparkle in the sunlight.
These glazed tiles are exactly the same in color and size, and are neatly arranged on the roof.
Needless to say, even Zhu Yuanzhang did not use glazed tiles in Qianqing Palace, his residence in the palace.
But here, in a small county magistrate's residence, Zhu Yuanzhang saw at least no less than 10,000 yuan, which was really shocking.
After entering the living room, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised when he saw a long scroll hanging high, facing the door of the living room.
“Along the River During Qingming Festival!!!”
After observing carefully for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly exclaimed.
"This is impossible. The Qingming Riverside Scene is clearly in the palace. How is it possible that you also have one here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't believe it. He clearly remembered that there was this painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in his palace treasury, but why was there another one here?
When Liu Bowen behind him heard this, he also hurriedly came forward and carefully looked at the scroll hanging above.
After careful consideration, Liu Bowen came to a terrible conclusion:
“It’s an authentic work!!”
"What?"
At this time, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, even Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and others behind him looked at Liu Bowen in disbelief, not believing that this painting was actually a picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival.
"it is true."
Liu Bowen nodded solemnly. When Liu Bowen went to Beijing for the imperial examination in the Yuan Dynasty, he had the honor to see a picture of Along the River During the Qingming Festival, which was exactly the same as this one.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not good-looking. If this picture is true, then his share of the inner treasure is fake?
It seems that Li Jin is really a corrupt official! !
Otherwise, where would Li Jin get the money to build himself such a luxurious mansion and this unique treasure?
However, when Li Jin next to him heard Zhu Yuanzhang call out the name of Along the River During the Qingming Festival at a glance, and also said that there was one in the palace, he concluded that this person was indeed a relative of the emperor.
Thinking of this, Li Jin's smile became even more kind. This time, he would kill this fat sheep severely.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. Although this one is authentic, the one in the palace is also authentic."
Li Jin had a smile on his face, completely different from the arrogant one last time, but what he said surprised several people.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy with Li Jin's arrogant attitude and asked:
"What do you mean? Are there two pictures of Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival in this world?"
"That's right, but instead of two, there are three."
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was so cold, Li Jin still had a smile on his face. He was making money, not shabby.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bowen interrupted:
"It's impossible. It's a miracle that one of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" can appear. How can there be three."
"Don't talk nonsense here and confuse the public."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly became dangerous, and he looked at Li Jin even more aggressively.
However, Li Jin didn't care and explained:
"There is only one picture of Along the River During the Qingming Festival, but I was able to divide it into three parts."
Li Jin felt that he should teach these people a lesson and show his abilities, so that he could fool these people in the future.
"There is a folk technique called unmounting, which is to take down the painting and then re-mount it."
"But this is a variation of framing. After taking down the paintings, I can peel these ancient paintings into three parts."
"These three copies are exactly the same. They are all authentic. I call them stolen."
After Li Jin spoke, he looked at several people proudly, but Zhu Di next to him was no longer calm and said:
"Wouldn't it be possible to reveal it into four or five parts?"
"If this continues, won't you get rich?"
Li Jin interrupted:
"No, although rice paper can be split, if it is split into four parts, it will look thin. Three parts are just right."
Hearing what Li Jin said about his miraculous skills, even Liu Bowen was amazed, but Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ashen.
"You said you split it into three parts, one for the palace and one for you, but what about the other one?"
"Of course it's sold!"
Li Jin said it righteously. After all, he spent so much effort, of course, to make money. Otherwise, why would he spend so much effort?
Zhu Yuanzhang was trembling with anger at Li Jin. This bastard was obviously an official, but he was always thinking about how to make money.
Is he still worthy of being a county magistrate?
"Do you know that Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival is a national treasure? It is the wealth of the country. How can you sell it?"
"You are the county magistrate of this place. You should be thinking about how to benefit the people, instead of just living here and thinking about how to make money?"
Li Jin was a little unhappy when he heard this.
"Old man, even if you are a relative of the emperor, can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"Who said that I didn't sell Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival for the sake of the people?"
"Does the old man think that Shanghu County was created out of thin air? If I didn't want to bring benefits to the people, would Shanghu County be as prosperous as it is today?"
"The money to build the foundation of Shanghu County was sold from the Qingming Riverside Scene."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless after being retorted by Li Jin, but then, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the purpose of coming to Li Jin, so he yelled:
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Let me ask you, why is the northern district of Shanghu County so dark?"
"Do you know that people are being bought and sold there right now, and human lives are being taken seriously? As the local official, why don't you take good care of it?"
Li Jin frowned slightly and said:
"You went to the north of the city? Did you know that you are not a member and are generally not allowed to enter there?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became even more angry and said angrily:
"What kind of bullshit membership is that? We don't want to know about it at all."
"Let me ask you, why are you harboring filth and sheltering these things in the north of the city?"
"Aren't you inhumane? Are you watching the people of Ming Dynasty being sold into slavery?"
"Watching a human being eaten by a tiger? Are you still a human being?"
