Chapter 556: One is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer

(Ask for a commuter pass!) )

On Dazhushan Island, northeast of Daxie Island, 3,000 Shengjie troops were stationed to surround the small islands, and in the sea around the island, a newly established island protection detachment under the command of Meghan himself patrolled 24 hours a day. The entire Dazhushan Island and the small Zhushan Island and Cheyou Island to the west of it have been set up as forbidden areas, and all the special orders signed by any warship, fishing boats, and merchant ships, without the commander of the Zhenguo Army, Li Jing, the marching Sima Li Zhen, the marching staff officer Li Liang, the marching instructor Du Zhongwu, the jiedu judge Li Chun, the secretary Guo Chengan, and the deputy envoy of the jiedu, Lin Wei, are not allowed to come within 20 miles, and the violators will be directly attacked after three warnings, and all those who try to break in will be severely punished.

Even the families of the defenders were placed on Kotakeshima and Cheyuji Island.

This mysterious forbidden island is not a secret. Almost everyone knows that Li Dashuai of the Zhenguo Army has been taught the art of glass manufacturing by the Dragon King. After Li Dashuai got this operation, he summoned hundreds of skilled craftsmen and 10,000 workers to make various glass products on Dazhushan Island. In order to keep the secret of the dragon king, all the families of the craftsmen also moved to the island together. Even the materials needed on the island were all transferred by warships on Xiaozhushan Island to Shamen Town.

As the auction date gets closer and closer, the entire Dengzhou and southern Liaoning, and even the entire northern coastal states and counties, all the people are talking about this matter. Everyone is saying that Li Dashuai of the Zhenguo Army got a large number of glazed treasures from the crystal palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and they are about to be auctioned in Dengzhou. The various treasures that have been auctioned have long been known to everyone, such as the glass treasure mirror that is more than one person high. Even glow-in-the-dark cups. Glass bottles. Wait, I heard that there are treasures like clairvoyance for sale.

Some of these rumors were spread by those merchants and their entourage, but most of them were specially told by Li Jing to take the initiative to spread them secretly. In order to expand the momentum, make this auction grand, and make Dengzhou glassware famous in one fell swoop. For this reason, Li Jing has directly called these glass products Dengzhou glass, and no longer called colored glass. In order to distinguish it from the glazed products made by Hu Shang and Datang, and establish its own brand.

Ten days have finally passed, and countless businessmen have heard the wind and come, not only the giant businessmen from Shandong have come all the way, but also many of the giant businessmen in the Jianghuai area have come by boat, and there are more people who are far away and are on the way.

Seeing such a hot result, Li Jing was naturally overjoyed, and immediately announced that the auction would be held as scheduled, but a month later. There will be an even bigger auction.

For this auction, Li Jing directly placed the auction in the newly built theater in Dengzhou. The newly built large theater can accommodate 10,000 people to watch opera. Now, the newly completed cinema is being used for the first auction.

In the past ten days, Li Jing fired a batch of glass products, although there are not many, but there are nearly 1,000 pieces of all kinds.

Now, 100 of these glassworks have been selected for auction, and each one has been beautifully packaged, which further compliments the beauty of these glassworks. Compared with the glass burned in this era, which is generally green, the glass burned by Li Jing is transparent and colorless.

The auction venue is huge, but it's not for everyone. Those who enter the theater first have to deposit 10,000 yuan in the Sihai Money Village in Dengzhou in exchange for the flying money of the 10,000 Guan Sihai Money Village, and then they have to buy an admission ticket of 10,000 yuan per person with 10,000 yuan of flying money at the gate of the Grand Theater.

This time alone, Sihai Qian Zhuang increased tens of millions of flying money in a few days, and then the tickets were sold for nearly 100,000 yuan. Of course, the ticket money for ten yuan is not given in vain, and each ticket is actually a long color scroll, on which the appearance of 100 auction items is painted in color, and the search for various goods is written in detail. Although these scrolls are printed in large quantities, this set of color printed scrolls, bright colors, vivid images, still have great appreciation value, many people get this ticket, are in love with it, carefully look at the various goods on it.

"Clairvoyant, can this thing really see thousands of miles away?" A middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin, holding a ticket, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the monocular clairvoyant depicted on it. It is common to hear about the tailwind ear clairvoyance in mythological stories, but this is the first time that someone can make a clairvoyant mirror.

A middle-aged scribe in a green official robe next to him said with a smile: "Of course it is impossible to be thousands of miles away, this looks at the introduction behind this, and it is said that it is eight times farther." If you look at 800 steps away, it is as clear as 100 steps away, and if you look 80 steps away, it is equivalent to seeing 8 steps away with the naked eye. ”

Although he said that he couldn't see thousands of miles away, the rich middle-aged man was just as surprised when he heard that this clairvoyant mirror could see eight times the distance of the naked eye. Usually with the naked eye, when the weather is fine, how can you see two miles away, if you use this clairvoyant mirror, wouldn't you be able to see fifteen or sixteen miles away? God, this is amazing.

Looking down at the top, in addition to clairvoyance, there are reading glasses, saying that when you are old, you can't see clearly, and wearing this kind of reading glasses will immediately solve the problem of dizziness in old eyes. In addition, this magnifying glass is also, no matter how small the fly's head is, when you shine with a magnifying glass, it will immediately be as big as a fist.

The middle-aged man took a straight breath and sighed that it was indeed a thing of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, not an ordinary product. Such treasures, you must take a few pieces.

The large theater that can accommodate 10,000 people is full, and countless wealthy merchants gather here, all waiting to buy the things that flow out of the crystal palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

The crowd didn't have to wait long, and soon the auction began. With such a grand auction ceremony, Li Jing directly invited Gongsun Lan's Sword Dance Pavilion to be in charge of the auction, and hundreds of beautiful women from the Sword Dance Pavilion in the venue have become today's auction models.

After a pleasing sword dance, the dressed Gongsun Lan took the stage, today she is beautiful and charming, just like a fairy in the world. There were even many big businessmen and tycoons in the audience who were fascinated by her as soon as they saw her.

Gongsun Lan stood on the brightly lit stage and slowly gave a salute to the audience, which attracted countless people to be intoxicated.

"Everybody knows it. If there is a famine today. However, the Central Plains has just experienced a war. Hundreds of people have been displaced and starving. The marshal intends to take in the displaced people and save the people, but there is a shortage of food. This time, the merchants traveled thousands of miles from Lingnan and Yunnan to buy a lot of grain, and Qi Gong intended to buy all the grain, but the money was insufficient. Fortunately, the Dragon King of the East China Sea saw that the Duke of Qi and the people under the Zhenguo Army believed in piety, and the incense continued. Seeing this, the Dragon King specially taught the Duke of Qi the art of making glass. Today, it is to share these Dragon Palace treasures with all the monarchs, and everyone who likes them will bid to buy them, not only to get the treasures, but also to contribute a love for the people to those hungry homeless. ”

As soon as this passage was spoken, there was immediately a voice of admiration below, not only praising Li Jing's love for the people, but also lamenting that Li Jing was loved by the Dragon King, and some people were praising the coexistence of Gongsun Lan's beauty and temperament on the stage. The atmosphere was enthusiastic. If you buy a treasure, you can also get a benevolent and righteous name for loving the people. Who doesn't.

Li Jing, who was sitting behind the scenes and watching, nodded with satisfaction, Gongsun Lan is indeed a good hand at public relations, and hosting such an auction is extremely good. With her presiding, the whole auction has added a lot of color.

Although the eyes of many people in the audience have shifted from the treasure to Gongsun Lan, she has no stage fright at all, and said with a smile on her pretty face: "Since you are benevolent, then the auction will begin." As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and suddenly there was a beautiful sword girl from the Sword Dance Pavilion, with fluttering clothes, like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace, holding a tray of golden silk nanmu and bringing the first auction item. This first auction item is also a peculiar commodity selected by Li Jing, the clairvoyant.

"You should know that under the throne of the god of Haotian in the world, there are two gods, Shunfeng Ear and Claireye, which can be said to be omniscient in the world. Now this first auction treasure is the clairvoyant mirror. Although this object cannot be seen thousands of miles away, it can see ten times more than the normal field of vision. Saying that, Gongsun Lan directly picked up the monocular clairvoyant and stretched it, moved it to the right eye, and looked at the back of the big theater. While looking at it, he said with a smile: "The official of No. 10,000, your silk robe is good, the embroidery pattern on it is good, and the five blessings are coming, it is really a good and auspicious pattern." There is also this one, No. 7899, the jade pendant on the official's waist is very beautiful, the Lantian jade on the top is really good, and it beckons money. ”

The two officials who were said lowered their heads, then stood up and exclaimed, "You can see so clearly from such a distance? The others were also amazed, even the people who were not far from the two of them, if they didn't look carefully, they might not be able to see the embroidery on the robe and the pixiu on the jade pendant. But Gongsun Lan, who was standing on the stage, saw it clearly, which shows that this clairvoyant mirror is indeed magical.

Gongsun Lan listened to a few people come up and try it out, and sure enough, it was the few people who tried it out in amazement.

The first treasure was so magical that the momentum of the auction immediately became hot.

"Clairvoyant, the starting price is 1,000 yuan, and the price increase is 100 yuan each time, please bid!"

1,000 yuan, that is, 1 million yuan, even if the price of grain is soaring now, this is enough to buy more than 20,000 catties of grain, enough for a family of five to eat for ten years. But now no one thinks that the price is too high, only that the price is too low. Sure enough, a wealthy businessman from Xuzhou who had tried it just now immediately stood up and held up his brand according to the rules: "Three thousand guan!" ”

Gongsun Lan smiled, "You don't have to worry, you can take your time, there is another sentence I forgot just now, there are ten clairvoyant mirrors in total." ”

However, even if the treasure of Zhilu Dao is not unique, but this magical effect alone, as well as the gold and jade inlaid mirror tube, and the exquisite patterns engraved on it, are also extremely precious.

"I'm out of 5,000!" A pot-bellied grain merchant from Yangzhou made an offer. Today's auction is not just about buying treasures, in the eyes of some merchants, it is also an opportunity for them to fight for wealth and make a name for themselves in their caravans. With so many giant merchants gathered, if you can be the first to win the treasure, then your face will be exposed.

However, he raised the price by two thousand at once, and it did not scare off others. A big food merchant who had personally tried the clairvoyant mirror opportunity just now had been staring at this treasure for a long time. He knew very well the importance of such a treasure to these sea-going merchants who had been walking on the sea for many years. If you can get this treasure and then study the method of making it, it will be the real hair.

"Ten thousand!" The white-robed big food merchant with his head wrapped in made a more ruthless bid, directly bidding 10,000 yuan, intending to scare away those who wanted to rob him. Although he said that there were still nine clairvoyant mirrors, he was worried that he would not be able to grab them. As long as you can get one, what does it matter if you bid higher?

Sure enough, after the high price of 10,000 guan was opened, the theater was quiet. They all know that the treasures of the Dao are precious, but they didn't expect it to be so sought-after, and the first treasure appeared, and the price was only increased three times, and it had already gone from a thousand to a high price of 10,000.

10,000 yuan, this price is a bit expensive, and I can't tell if it's worth the money, but after all, there are nine more pieces behind, so many people give up the price increase.

After Gongsun Lan asked three times, no one raised the price, and immediately knocked on the silver hammer, and the deal was decided. Immediately, the beauty of the Sword Dance Pavilion took the treasure to the side, where Li Rang personally led people to sit there. The big food merchant came over excitedly under the guidance of the waiter, and directly took out 10,000 yuan of flying money, and this clairvoyant mirror was his. However, after 10,000 yuan of payment, he still has to pay 10% of the luxury tax and 10% of the auction transaction tax, which is a new regulation issued by Li Jing. These items that can be auctioned at the auction house are all luxury goods, and since they have nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, then of course they must be taxed. Yicheng's luxury tax and Yicheng's transaction tax are no different from slaughtering pigs, but Li Jing thinks that people who are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to auction treasures will definitely not care about the heavy edge of two thousand.

Sure enough, the merchant also knew about this tax in advance, although he was a little distressed, but he still took out the two thousand flying money issued by Sihai Qian Zhuang and handed it over, and immediately got the treasure sale certificate signed by Li Rang, as well as a three-pack certificate of after-sales service.

"This treasure is yours, we admit the after-sales three guarantees, this item is sold after the lifetime warranty, and within the scope of the commitment, if there is a problem, the repair package will be replaced."

The big food merchant nodded, put the clairing mirror into the golden silk nanmu box, and carefully held it in his arms. Twelve thousand times to change this clairvoyant mirror, but he felt that it must be worth it. Now, he couldn't wait to return to the mansion, and immediately found the most powerful craftsman to fold the clairvoyant mirror to see what his secret was.

If you want to buy a clairvoyant mirror, many people have the same idea as the big food merchant, harvesting and showing off your wealth is secondary, Guan Jian wants to buy back this treasure, and then know the secret of this, and the most important thing is of course to expect to be imitated.

As a result, the auction price not only did not drop, but became more and more hot, especially when it came to the next few clairglasses, the competition became more and more fierce. The price of each clairvoyant mirror is more than 10,000 yuan, and the last one, even more than a dozen people compete with each other, and the most difficult one is actually the Silla royal family who offered a price of 100,000 yuan and auctioned this thing. Ten clairvoyant mirrors were auctioned for a total price of more than 300,000 yuan, with an average price of 30,000 yuan, this price, even Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head in amazement.

Sometimes, there are so many rich people! (To be continued......)
