When night falls, the entrance of the Folk Paradise is already full of people, although it is night, but the Folk Paradise is a brilliant appearance, the people are trying their best to look inside outside the iron gate, hoping to be able to take in the scenery inside the Folk Paradise.

Basically, the people who came were all families, and the children sat on their father's shoulders, and their eyes were also round, curiously looking at the colorful lights inside.

I could only hear a crisp female voice coming from the loudspeaker in the people's paradise.

"Good evening everyone, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, at this moment we are broadcasting for you in the people's paradise of the Great Tang, let us say goodbye to the old and welcome the new together, and spend a good night together."

"On this family reunion, happy Chinese New Year's Eve, all the staff of our people's paradise accompany you to listen to the sound of the coming New Year."

"No matter who you are at this moment, please accept our best wishes, on the occasion of the annual Spring Festival of the Chinese nation, I would like to give you New Year's greetings on behalf of all the staff of Minyuan."

After the broadcast, there was a melodious flute, followed by the sound of an electric bell, and the big iron gate of the people's paradise slowly opened.

"Please enter the park in an orderly manner, do not crowd, take care of your children and belongings, do not lose, if a child is lost, please be sure to contact the park staff as soon as possible."

It is also strange to say that the people who were eager to fly into the Folk Paradise at the beginning consciously lined up after hearing this broadcast and entered the Folk Paradise in an orderly manner.

I wanted to squeeze in with the unruly foreigners, but I gave up on seeing the neat line. They all lined up honestly.

Seeing those foreigners obediently lined up behind him, the faces of the people were full of smugness, which was the national pride in their hearts.

"Eh, we Datang still have the ability to let these foreigners obediently follow us in line."

"That is, no matter who comes to this people's paradise, they must obediently line up, just now I saw a few foreigners preparing to go in without queuing, but they were driven back with sticks by people wearing that clothes."

When the man had finished speaking, he pointed to the man in the garment whom he had spoken.

In order to ensure order and prevent people from making trouble in the people's paradise, the security guards here are all temporarily transferred from the army.

It's just that the sabers around their waists have become rubber batons.

They don't care what your status as a foreigner is, there is no difference between the envoy and the prince in their eyes, as long as they come to Datang, they must abide by the rules well, and if they don't follow the rules, they will be punished.

"Big ...... Sir, where are we going? A middle-aged man said to the young man next to him. This is really a puzzling pair, but the young man smiled lightly, and then said: "I have already received the invitation of the Tang Emperor, so naturally I am going to this mysterious place." ”

After speaking, the young man shook the invitation card in his hand.

In fact, the young people themselves don't know what the mysterious place on this invitation is, because there are no words on it, only a simple picture.

This picture is the map in the people's paradise, and the mysterious place in his mouth has also been circled.

The two of them turned around and finally found the place marked in the map, but after arriving at the place, the two found that all the foreigners gathered at the gate here.

The young man with the middle-aged man finally lined up at the door.

"Invitation." The ticket inspector at the door said expressionlessly.

"Invitations? Oh, it's this. The young man suddenly remembered the map he had in his hand.

The ticket inspector took the invitation card from the young man's hand and looked at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also made a gesture of please.

The young man smiled at the ticket inspector, and then hurried into the luxurious-looking room with his entourage.

"Qingquan, tell me why you called so many foreign envoys here?" At this time, Comrade Lao Li sat in the box prepared for him by Zhang Nan, eating the grapes deducted from the greenhouse, and looking down through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.

"Didn't the minister say it all? Make money. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"I know, but I'm curious about what you're going to make money with?" Comrade Lao Li spit out the grape skin in his mouth and asked.

"Auction." Zhang Nan was concise and to the point.

In fact, such a thing as "auction" has existed since ancient times, but the real recorded auction began in the seventh century, when there was a kind of "singing and selling", which originated from the Indian Buddhist way of dealing with the clothes of deceased monks, and gradually spread in Chinese Buddhist temples in the seventh century.

A passage in the "Ten Friendship Laws" says that the Buddha said: "Selling clothes from today's audience and monks should be profitable if they are not sung three times." "Three singing without competition, the price is not committed." The "three singing" here refers to the last three bids; "Profit" means to increase the price, and "offense" means to contradict. It roughly means that when auctioning clothes, if the bid is less than three times, the bidder can continue to increase the price without restriction until the auction object is sold at the third bid.

At this time, Datang did not have a real auction with a systematic process.

"It's the one with the highest price." Comrade Lao Li said.

"Yes, the one with the highest price wins, the emperor doesn't know, our Datang now has more than silk and porcelain to make foreign countries envious, such as the daily necessities we use on weekdays, such as the perfume used by the queen's mother, which is a sales frenzy abroad." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Is it so powerful?" Comrade Lao Li has not investigated this matter, so it is not very clear.

"Naturally, Your Majesty, you probably know that these foreigners have a very heavy body odor, so they also want to cover their body odor, but this smelling flower is not available all year round, so the spices are too expensive, obviously not suitable for daily use, and this is when the value of perfume is highlighted." Zhang Nan clicked here, and Comrade Lao Li knew what Zhang Nan meant.

It's very simple, that is, first rely on this auction to open up the sales channels for Datang to sell goods, and when the time comes, these things will spread to the country of these envoys, even if Comrade Lao Li doesn't say it, I'm afraid that these envoys will have to take their own money and rush to do business with Comrade Lao Li.

"Yes, this method is good, then I can see Qingquan perform today." Comrade Lao Li said with a smile that the current Comrade Li is no longer the self-styled emperor he was at the beginning.

He knew that if he wanted to get rich, business was an indispensable part.
