However, an artifact from the Ming Dynasty will be auctioned off soon at the Knight Imports Auction Room in Vespucci, with the starting bid at $10,000. This gold and red jadeite dragon coin dates back to sometime between 1572 and 1620 in the Nanjing region of China. By the 16th century, while the Ming government was weakening, there was a rapid economic expansion in South China, which meant many landowners and wealthy merchants started to be able to afford to purchase art, such as paintings and sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-1024x410.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-1024x410.png 1024w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-650x260.png 650w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-310x124.png 310w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min-150x60.png 150w, https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MingDynastyAuction-min.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ming Dynasty Artifact Auction ad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if a few of the wealthy also had gold trinkets similar to this coin that\u2019s being auctioned here in Los Santos. It\u2019s too bad that one person is going to win this piece of Chinese artifact and keep it hidden in their home, never to be seen again. There\u2019s so much we can all learn from a piece of ancient history, and yet here we are. Useless News also wrote about this <a href=\"https:\/\/useless-news.com\/2024\/01\/22\/zimports-auction-for-ultra-rare-ming-dynasty-artifact\/\">Ming Dynasty artifact auction<\/a> in an article and included the certificate of authenticity if you would like a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First of Many, Hopefully\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday was the first state representative meeting session, which was open to the public at City Hall. I didn\u2019t attend, but I skimmed the <a href=\"https:\/\/newdayrp.com\/threads\/9th-congress-meeting-summary-january-27th-2024.48900\/\">meeting notes<\/a>, and it looks like they discussed concerns regarding H.R. 309, repealing H.R. 109, making adjustments to the Crime Crisis Act, and more. They also talked about new initiatives, which include Speaker Joanna Poole posting a Legislative Processes document accessible to the public with public legislative meetings hopefully happening at least once a month. Some of you might like this one if you\u2019re too lazy to look for proposed bills. It looks like there will now be posters posted inside City Hall for all the current proposed bills. I guess that\u2019s not bad for a first meeting of the new Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Another Exchange with Jack\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Callow\u2019s latest exchange was with <a href=\"https:\/\/weazel-news.online\/index.php\/2024\/01\/27\/the-exchange-episode-5-assistant-state-attorney-jessica-ashbrook\/\">Assistant State Attorney Jessica Ashbrook<\/a>.
