Chapter 249: Hot Auction
"Hee-hee!"
Xiaohuan covered her mouth and snickered, but Fei Yue'er's face was smeared with a layer of red glow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What? Dislike? Fiji sighed, "In that case, I'll give me this mirror." ”
"Dad, you're not a daughter."
Fei Yue'er blushed and said, in Dayu Country, the man and the woman basically will not have contact before marriage, but Xiao Ming sent the mirror as a gift this time, which is also ingenious.
At the poetry meeting that day, she just glanced at Xiao Ming in a hurry and didn't dare to look at it again, but she already had an understanding of Xiao Ming's appearance.
And what shocked her even more was Xiao Ming's ability to export chapters.
In the past two days, Chang'an City has rumored that this mirror is magical, but I didn't expect Xiao Ming to send one, which made her heart skip a beat, after all, this mirror is said to be extremely precious.
"Hahaha......" Fiji saw Fei Yue'er's shyness, laughed, and said, "When the mirror is delivered, Dad won't bother you." ”
With that, Fiji left with the butler.
At this time, Xiaohuan poked his head out, saw that Fiji was far away, turned around and pulled the black cloth on the mirror down suddenly, and suddenly Fei Yue'er, who was wearing a pink gown, appeared in the mirror, and she was more delicate than a flower.
"Miss, look, this is me, this mirror is really clear." Xiaohuan's excited little face flushed.
Fei Yue'er was also a little shocked at this time, she walked to the mirror and looked at herself, her smile was reflected in the mirror, as if a real person was standing in the mirror.
She exclaimed: "This mirror really has a different response, no wonder it is so miraculous in Chang'an City." ”
"The mirror is small, and His Royal Highness King Qi's heart for Miss is true." Xiaohuan suddenly laughed.
Fei Yue'er said in shame: "Dead Xiaohuan, see if I don't tear your mouth apart." ”
The two of them immediately quarreled.
King Qi sent a mirror to Fei Yue'er, and the news inadvertently spread among the nobles of Chang'an, and the next day, many ladies came to visit Fei Yue'er.
The mirror in the palace is too godly, and they have no chance to see it, and now that there is finally one outside the palace, they can't help but run over to see what is going on.
And this look, the real effect of the mirror finally made these ladies excited, and they sent people to Qingzhou.
At this time, the auction in Qingzhou has also entered the agenda.
On this day, the Chamber of Commerce was handled by layers of Qingzhou Army, in order not to let too many unnecessary people mix in the auction site.
The Chamber of Commerce deliberately registered for the auction three days ago, and the merchants who entered the auction had to be able to come up with at least 100,000 taels of silver.
This threshold suddenly discouraged some people who just went to the auction to join in the fun.
"Your Highness, there are a total of 3,000 people participating in the auction this time."
The auction was about to start, and at this time Li Kaiyuan told him the number of people.
"Three thousand? It's just that there are more powerful people in Chang'an, and it seems that there are still some people who haven't arrived, so let's start, don't wait. Xiao Ming said.
This mirror has been prepared for more than a month, and he can't wait any longer.
Li Kaiyuan nodded, walked to the stage at this time, and began to explain the rules of the auction to the auctioneers.
And Xiao Ming is hiding behind, he wants to show up for this kind of thing.
Pang Yukun was even more nervous than Xiao Ming at this time, because it would mean how much silver the treasury could earn.
After a brief introduction to the rules of the auction, the servants brought the first batch, thirty mirrors, to the stage and unfolded them one by one to the people below.
Many people see the real effect of the mirror for the first time, and immediately stand up to see what it really is.
Li Kaiyuan also deliberately let these people see the effect of the mirror clearly, and let people take the mirror and turn around among the people participating in the auction.
At this time, exclamations kept coming from the crowd.
Li Kaiyuan on the stage saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction, he continued: "Everyone must have seen this mirror, only Qingzhou has it, and there is no semicolon in other places, and you have also experienced the effect of this mirror, what is the value, you must have a plan in your heart." ”
The copper of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is money, and the price of the copper mirror is already expensive, and when they see this glass mirror at this time, they naturally know that it must be much more expensive than the copper mirror.
"Vice President Li, you can tell me a reserve price." A businessman said.
The merchant had participated in the last auction and knew that there was a reserve price for this auction.
Li Kaiyuan said at this time: "Since you are so happy, I said that the reserve price of this mirror is three thousand taels. ”
"Three thousand taels." The people sitting below immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the price was expensive, but it was still within their acceptable range.
Li Kaiyuan continued: "Then the time for the auction, this mirror is cumbersome to make, so there are only five hundred mirrors in Qingzhou now, after this auction, the mirror will be sold by the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and you are welcome to come and buy it at that time." ”
"Three thousand one hundred taels!"
"Three thousand two hundred taels!"
“……”
As soon as Li Kaiyuan's voice fell, the sound of bidding suddenly came and went at the auction site, and many people couldn't wait.
Many of them are characters dressed as housekeepers, and their young lady told them to bring back the mirror, and they didn't dare to slack off, otherwise they might lose half their lives this time.
"Four thousand taels!"
The bidding round was higher than the other, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun sat at the back of the auction table of the Chamber of Commerce, and Xiao Ming muttered: "The money for the two artillery pieces is here." ”
And Pang Yukun read: "Go higher." ”
3,000 people bid for 500 mirrors, which means that only one mirror can be brought back by every six people.
Coupled with the inconvenience of transportation in Chongqing, many people have the idea that they must buy the mirror back this time.
So the bidding became more and more intense.
"Six thousand five hundred taels."
"Seven thousand taels."
"Eight thousand taels."
In the end, there were only a few wealthy merchants left in the bidding for the first mirror, and they naturally did not buy it for themselves, but were ready to take down the mirror and give it to the powerful people in the court.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Another voice sounded, and no one followed the price at this time.
To this extent, the price of mirrors has been raised very high, and there are many mirrors behind, and some people think that they can get it cheaper.
It's just that the further they got, the more they find that the price of the mirror is getting higher and higher, because the mirror is auctioned for one, and there is one less.
The second mirror was auctioned off for 11,000 taels.
Behind the auction table, Pang Yukun's face was flushed with excitement, and he said to Xiao Ming: "The people's fat and people's ointment that these powerful people have looted have finally been spit out here. ”
"But no, this king has the right to act for heaven." Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this.
Li Bai Shiyun: The golden bottle of sake is worth ten thousand, and the jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars, which describes the luxurious life of the powerful in the Tang Dynasty, and a meal is worth ten thousand dollars, and it is the same in the country of Dayu, it is normal for rich and noble families to spend thousands of taels of silver for a banquet.
And the common people often eat chaff vegetables, which is because of the endless exploitation of the people by the nobles and merchants of the Great Chongqing State, especially the local wealthy families, annexing land, taking and seizing by force, and the people are reduced to cattle and horses to earn money and food for them.
The extreme gap between the rich and the poor has made the wealth of the Great Yu Kingdom concentrated on these people, so Xiao Ming sold a mirror with an actual value of only three taels of silver at such a high price, and he would not feel guilty at all.
