Chapter 719: Secret Conversations at Night.

Now with Zhu Di's promise, Ye Xing is not afraid to say his thoughts, he pondered for a while, and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen's idea is very simple, that is, to ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to take out one or two antiques from his own collection. ”

Everyone was a little curious when they heard Ye Xing ask them to take out their antiques, and they began to hate Ye Xing in their hearts after being curious, they were all people who did not involve their own interests, and now Ye Xing wanted them to take out their collection of antiques, could they not hate Ye Xing?

After listening to Ye Xing's words, Zhu Di asked curiously: "There are hundreds of people in the Manchu Dynasty, but even if they take out one or two antiques, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a lot of silver!" ”

With Zhu Di's question, those ministers also hurriedly seconded the proposal, saying that it would be no difficult for them to take out one or two antiques, at this time, who doesn't collect a few antiques, but their antiques are not very valuable, what can they sell for a good price.

After those ministers finished nagging, Ye Xingcai opened his mouth and replied: "What the emperor said is right, the antiques in the hands of the ministers are indeed not sold for a good price, but the auction for the expedition is different, gather the rich businessmen of Jinling and the whole country together for an antique auction, whoever pays the highest money, the antique is who's, those merchants have a good face, even if they know that the antiques are not worth a few dollars, but in order to show that they are rich, they will still pay a good price." ”

After Ye Xing finished speaking, he saw that everyone was at a loss, and at this time he suddenly thought that these people might not understand what the auction was all about, so he hurriedly explained it to everyone.

After everyone listened to the explanation, Zhu Di suddenly said very excitedly: "Okay, this method is good, I will immediately issue a holy decree, asking all civil and military officials from all over the country to donate antiques to Jinling, and then hand them over to you for auction, and all the money from the auction will be used for this expedition." ”

Those highness ministers saw that the emperor supported Ye Xing's proposal so much, they had nothing to say, now what they need to consider is to go home and pick a few antiques to bring, and choosing antiques is also a headache, they are reluctant to take good antiques, and they can't take out bad antiques, so they must choose one or two antiques that will not lose face, and will not feel too bad to take out antiques.

After leaving the palace, Ye Xing immediately told Hua Zhimeng about this matter, and Ye Xing also asked Hua Zhimeng to arrange the venue, for the auction, Hua Zhimeng knew more than Ye Xing, she was a celebrity before, so naturally she attended such an event, but on the contrary, Ye Xing had only seen this kind of news on TV or in the newspaper.

The matter of the auction was handed over to Hua Zhimeng, and Hua Zhimeng did not live up to Ye Xing's expectations, after receiving this task, he began to choose the auction venue, as well as the warehouse where the antiques were stored, in addition, there was inevitably an incident, she also had to consider how many people to send to guard those antiques, how many detectives were placed inside and outside, and so on.

In addition, the most important thing is that they invite rich and famous people to participate in the auction.

These people are the ones who have to pay, so it is necessary to serve them well.

The arrangement of the auction was handed over to Hua Zhimeng, and Ye Xing was mainly responsible for signing for the antiques that were handed over.

But Ye Xing waited for a day, but few officials sent their antiques, which made Ye Xing very angry and wondered, didn't they take the emperor's words seriously?

Faced with this kind of thing, Ye Xing decided to find out, so he prepared to visit the mansions of various officials at night.

However, when Ye Xing was preparing to visit the mansions of various officials at night, he got a major news that many people in the Manchu Dynasty had gone to the mansion of Lord Ji Gangji.

This saved Ye Xing a lot of things, and Ye Xing wanted to see what these people who were full of benevolence and morality all day long were going to do now.

The night is getting deeper, there are stars and no moon tonight, and the weather is no longer as hot as when Ye Xing and they first came back.

Ye Xing wore a night suit and quietly sneaked into Ji Gang's mansion, at this time, the entire Ji Mansion was brightly lit, as if it was very lively, in Ji Gang's living room, some officials were sitting there drinking tea, but they all had anxious looks on their faces.

After a long time, Ji Gang came from Shanshan, and after he came, he smiled at all the officials present: "You guys visit my Ji Mansion at night, you really look up to me Ji someone, everyone please sit down!" ”

After Ji Gang finished speaking, an official hurriedly bowed his head and asked, "I don't know why Commander Ji invited us here?" ”

Ji Gang smiled slightly: "Find a few people to come, naturally there is something wrong, I know that you haven't given the antiques to that Ye Xing yet, now I want to know what you are going to give?" ”

Listening to Ji Gang's words, those ministers sighed one by one, and said: "We are also very embarrassed about what to send, we are reluctant to send it if it is expensive, let's send it cheaply, then Ye Xing will think that we are not sincere, if he sues the emperor again, we will be really troublesome, so we are struggling now!" ”

The nagging of these ministers made Ji Gang very useful, he smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, we must not give away expensive antiques, although we are officials, although we have a lot of money, but it is not enough to buy those priceless antiques, if we take those expensive antiques out and auction them, the emperor knows and still treats us for a crime of corruption and bribery?" ”

Now that Ji Gang said this, those ministers echoed it, saying why they didn't think of this.

Ji Gang saw that his opinion was agreed by everyone, so he continued: "So, we should take out the cheap and worthless antiques for Ye Xing to auction, if Ye Xing tells the emperor about us, we can also tell the emperor that we have always been honest and honest, and we have no money to buy expensive antiques, these are still a few things that we can afford to be frugal, the emperor has always advocated diligence and thrift, when the emperor knows that we are like this, where will he blame us?" ”

When the ministers heard Ji Gang say this, they all agreed, and they were all a little overjoyed, they were worried about taking out cheap antiques and being pinched by Ye Xing, and now with Ji Gang's words, what are they afraid of.

As a result, the ministers said that they would donate the cheapest antiques in their homes tomorrow to show their patriotism.

These words were all heard by Ye Xing, and Ye Xing, who heard these words, felt very angry, if the antiques donated by these officials were not worth anything, how could those rich businessmen be willing to pay a lot of money to bid for the auction?

Rich businessmen are not stupid people, they don't want to suffer a big loss, and they really don't want to pay a high price for worthless things.
