Chapter 274: Spread the word

The Daimyo's Mansion and the Water Transport Wharf, under the impetus of the blacksmith's workshop, and under the drilling camp of those who wanted to participate in this auction, the news of the auction quickly spread.

A unique auction that has never been held before, not only Zhao Xin is preparing, but also some businessmen from overseas, some big jewelry owners, and even some horse dealers have also come to contact.

Famous horses, famous knives, this is the best equipment, you have bought a famous knife that sharpens iron like clay, do you still care about a famous horse?

Among the treasures, magic water and cream, not to mention, this is the magic of creation, but those jewels are a little too ordinary.

Zhao Xin: This is one more category, just looking for some simple jewelry, but not chasing that kind of peerless, and the same is true for handicrafts and the like.

But where are these big merchants, none of them have a treasure of a town store.

Advertising and advertising, widely advertised, they ignored this auction and ignored this commodity before, but now, when Dinghaihou has copied this trend, even Cao Di, the Hebei pacification envoy, will bring his family to participate, which has triggered a trend.

This is the biggest boss in Hebei, he has participated, do others dare to sit on the Diaoyutai platform?

The personal participation of other officials, and at the same time, recently, there was news that Han Qi, the deputy envoy of the privy council, Ye Qingchen, the third envoy, and Ouyang Xiu, a scholar of Hanlin, would participate in this auction together.

The auction in which the three Zaisuke participated, which not only caused a huge wave in the Daimyo's Mansion, but even spread its influence to Tokyo.

Speaking of which, these three are also just at the right time, after Han Qi arrives at the order, he should set off, but a large amount of steel, especially after passing the test, gives him a new idea, and the most important thing is that this production speed is so fast.

In the past, he was worried that the amount of iron was not enough and the time was insufficient, but now, when there is no problem, he needs to discuss it with Zhao Xin.

The war between Western Xia and the Liao State was already imperative through some intelligence, and he began to concatenate in his factions, mainly those of the Privy Council.

Most of the radicals are more supportive, and Zhao Xin's explanation, under the play of Han Qi, especially with an example put in front, of course, convinces the majority.

It is no longer Han Qi alone, but all over the northwest, including some channels of the Privy Council, and even the third envoy Ye Qingchen has also been brought in.

If this idea was told to Ye Qingchen before the blacksmith supply center, Ye Qingchen would definitely not agree, just kidding, the border situation that was easy to stabilize, and it was possible to calm the finances, but there would be a war, and a large amount of expenditure, which was unacceptable to him.

But now, a simple iron material may save tens of millions of dollars for the center, and he never knew that a basic material would have so many benefits.

Of course, if the three divisions are simply funded, it is impossible to have so much, in fact, this iron material, in the form of government orders, and in the form of large-scale government orders, stipulates a price, a fixed price, and public procurement, which means that the gray area is squeezed out, and even the three divisions are involved, and when you write some reports in the future, or when you are financial, you set the iron price at more than 35 yuan.

How bold it is to be, if someone covers it up and turns a blind eye, this is enough, but if you have an enemy in this area, and the enemy blows up this matter, and uses this to attack, it is almost ironclad evidence.

Someone who is a little smarter, or who has big ambitions, won't be in this area.

Since the emergence of iron, it has been an important raw material, and in a certain sense, it is even more important than copper and silver, but no one has seen it before, that is, Zhao Xin, after piercing this point, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty has greatly improved.

Although I haven't enjoyed this actual benefit yet, in terms of budget, at least millions of dollars of profit can be guaranteed by the end of the year in the fourth year of Qingli, which is the most critical thing.

Han Qi proposed that it would increase the expenditure of the three divisions by 500,000 yuan, but several people jointly lobbied and there was something reasonable, which also made Ye Qingchen unable to refuse.

The whole plan is not to send troops, insert it, weaken the Liao State and Western Xia, if there is an opportunity, occupy the strategic points of Western Xia, squeeze his living space, and achieve any of these goals, the threat of Western Xia to the Northern Song Dynasty will be greatly reduced.

This is not a trivial matter, this is once and for all, although Ye Qingchen solved the entire Northern Song Dynasty problem with the help of iron materials, but as long as the problem of Western Xia is not solved, I am afraid that this solution will become an empty word, once the war starts, 100,000 people, hundreds of thousands of people, or even millions of people in the war, almost certainly, spend money like water.

It is most suitable to spend a lot of money in the future, and take advantage of the right time to solve it with a small amount of money now.

Ye Qingchen also agreed verbally, the purpose of his coming, on the one hand, was to find Zhao Xin to confirm the development of the fortress, as well as the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, and on the other hand, to thank Zhao Xin.

He has been working hard for so long, and it has taken him a few years to save millions of yuan for the Northern Song Dynasty, but this saving is squeezing, occupying, and even trying to solve it, which solves all the problems.

Now, Zhao Xin has solved almost 10 million funds with a single piece of iron, and in this case, he has to come over and take a look.

As for Ouyang Xiu, since Han Qi left, he has lived in everything in Baozhou City, and now, he has just completed everything, returned to the center, and just came back, in this case, he also came by the way.

The three governors, plus a large number of wealthy people from the famous mansions, this auction was immediately famous, and some of the surrounding wealthy merchants and maritime merchants joined in one after another, just all kinds of treasures from overseas, not to mention some domestic boutiques.

It seems that this has become a large-scale carnival, and from the very beginning, it has attracted the attention of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and more and more people have begun to take a fancy to this auction.

Such a situation was something that Wang Song did not expect, and Zhao Xin did not expect, he was ready to attract everyone's attention with alkaline noodles, who would have thought that the most attractive thing now was actually all kinds of treasures.

Ruby, sapphire, jadeite, all kinds of rare treasures, plus some kinds of gemstones from overseas, the most eye-catching thing in the auction is actually a variety of gemstones.

Taking jadeite as an example, there are nearly 1,000 kinds of gemstones in the entire auction, all of which are added together, almost a million of all kinds of gemstones, and even diamonds.

This also made Zhao Xin feel a little emotional, the logistics of the entire Great Song Dynasty was not as bad as he imagined, and even said that the Great Song Dynasty attracted all kinds of resources from the whole world, and finally, under the attraction of this auction, they were all concentrated in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen, officials in front of business, when the governor and political affairs have already participated in this auction, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, this auction, immediately attracted the attention of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, under such a premise, all kinds of pamphlets, began to spread throughout the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xin found a large number of painters, plus some engraving printing, pamphlets, at least 5,000 copies, and in the later period, the entire introduction of pamphlets, almost more than 50,000, accompanied by the transportation of the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, spread to various places in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yangzhou, Yangzhou in March, from the early Northern Song Dynasty, because of maritime merchants and various silk trade, and gradually became popular, especially after the salt trade spread to the Northern Song Dynasty, began to become the focus of the economy, the export-oriented economy began to develop, and the commercial atmosphere began to be strong.

The Zhou family in Yangzhou, a huge family that started from the salt industry and now has a fortune of millions, also knows about this grand occasion.

Zhou Ye, the Zhou family is in charge of foreign affairs business, the Zhou family has recently begun to transform, the salt business, for various reasons, gradually shrinking, they gradually expanded outward, and began to contact other businesses, but unfortunately, no matter what kind of business, they did not make enough profits.

It was at this time that information about the auction reached him.

"Fourth uncle!" Zhou Qi walked in, he was one of the future successors of the Zhou family, and he had been following Thursday all the time, and this matter was also the first thing he discovered.

Zhou Qi's purpose is those magic weapons, as a young man, there is no one who doesn't love horses, don't love weapons, both, there are both here, he has been encouraging to participate on Thursday, but unfortunately 10,000 yuan, this is not a small number, even if it is Thursday, I have to think about it.

I just heard before, no, yesterday, I just brought a booklet, no, I sent it to Thursday in a hurry, and I want to continue to add a fire, and strive to get the consent of Lord Thursday.

"I promised!"

Zhou Qi didn't seem to believe it, he himself had to take a little trouble to persuade Thursday, but he didn't expect that Thursday actually said such words, he looked at Thursday in disbelief, but saw Thursday's affirmation.

Thursday's hand fell on the booklet, this booklet, the most important, is also illustrated, is the front part, which is also attracted to Zhou Qi and others, but Thursday's 20 years of business experience, let him instantly, he noticed the business, whether it is steamed buns, or soap, or ironware, is what makes him pay attention, in his opinion, as long as he gets these things, there should be a market in Yangzhou.

Similar things, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, happened from time to time, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, business is very developed, there is a vision, abound, before it was just this thing, did not attract a lot of attention, now, when the three governors all participated, coupled with crazy propaganda, almost the Northern Song Dynasty commercially developed fields, all know about this matter, very naturally, capable businessmen know.

Zhao Xin's goal was achieved, and it was widely advertised, so that everyone knew that a large number of big merchants with millions, or even millions of funds, gathered in the Daimyo's Mansion, and this auction, even if it has not yet opened, has already had the foundation for prosperity.
