Chapter 128: Vision
In the end, Liu Yu and several powerful properties were auctioned at a good price, according to the regulations, the winners will have three days to raise funds, and if they can't do the handover by then, their deposit, that is, the hundred Yao, will be confiscated.
The only difference from the auction companies of later generations is that there is no commission here, that is, what you buy is what you get. Of course, this is just an experiment, and I believe that the vision of the Great Song Dynasty businessman can't do it by example, and there should be no problem with following suit.
Liu Yu's attention has been on the building, and the Yuan people in the building have made him feel that things have become more interesting, these people's abilities in the capital are limited, but they are not more than what they will do.
Strangely, they never bid for the first shop at a record price, as if it were for that moment, and the familiar man no longer looked upstairs, but only whispered to the people at the table from time to time.
"Ziqing, what's next?" Liu Yu was still regretting not installing a bugging device on every table, and suddenly heard Xie Tang ask on the side.
Next? Naturally, it was time for a big meal, Liu Yu made a gesture to make him patient, and another red man had been replaced on the platform of the stairwell, who seemed to be the master of the streets and alleys in the city, and won the applause of the hall as soon as he appeared.
After performing on the mat field as usual, Yang Xingqian walked on the stage again, the performance seemed to be very exciting, and the following welcome was accompanied until the figure of the red trick disappeared, and then he suppressed his voice and prepared to start speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you already know that today's auction has ended, but there is one more thing that you may be interested in, let's listen and talk."
He clapped his hands again, and a few rows of men streamed in from the back hall, as they had done last time, with plates in their hands on steaming dishes and, of course, a pamphlet.
"There's a flash!" The shopkeeper Wang opened it and exclaimed, this booklet turned out to be colorful, very beautifully decorated, and on the cover was written a few beautiful words in floral font "Qionghai Commercial Road Development Plan".
Sure enough, almost all the people in the hall had the same expression as the shopkeeper Wang, and such a booklet was rare even in the Great Interior, but now everyone actually has a copy, what a big hand!
"These gangsters." Xie Tang spat out a few words in a disdainful tone, and then he was speechless, becoming the same as the people below.
"Distinguished guests, hello everyone, in this beautiful weather with beautiful wind and sunshine, autumn and summer, please allow you to lead everyone to the beautiful Qionghai together."
The image that appeared on the big screen silenced everyone who saw it, just a moment ago it was only a static picture, and now, even the more knowledgeable person could not describe the scene in front of him, he could only look at it blankly.
At this moment, in addition to Liu Yu on the second floor, Jing Niang is also qualified to complain, but when she subconsciously looked to the side, she found an equally calm woman.
"This is also your family's? Where did you get it? The little girl standing between them muttered to herself, but her eyes did not move.
"It's not worth it." Jing Niang said lightly, the two eyes met in the air, and they both smiled slightly.
At this moment, the picture on the screen has changed again, the sun, the beach, the blue sea, the blue sky, the colorful swimming fish in the sea, and the beautiful coral reef are presented one by one under the introduction of Yinghong, which makes people feel immersive.
Immediately afterwards, a Western-style sailing ship sailed on the sea, and in order to find such a picture, Su Wei did not bother to do so.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a piece of silk is only worth fifteen to twenty taels in the land of Zhejiang, and when it is transported to Guangzhou, Quan, and other places to trade with the merchants, its value becomes thirty or forty yao, and its profit is already very large. But if the merchants returned to Dashi, Persia, Tianzhu and other places by sea, how much can you know its value? ”
Yang Xingqian pretended to ask mysteriously, although the people here are wealthy businessmen in Beijing, there are very few who are directly engaged in shipping, and they have guessed one after another, and the highest is only a hundred, and such a number is nearly ten times.
"Three hundred!" When Yang Xingqian revealed the answer, there was another burst of shouts in the hall, and the twenty or thirty times the profit made the group of people feel high.
Liu Yu looked at the following quietly, this figure is actually not accurate, not to mention the huge risk of shipping in time and space, even this interest is also conservative. It is not surprising that it has increased by a hundred times under careful management, and it is clear that the current figures have aroused the greed of businessmen, of course, this is not enough, and it has to be transformed into infinite motivation.
No one has estimated the total amount of capital in Lin'an, and as before the Nandu, the vast majority of the country's wealth is concentrated in Jingshi. The greatest benefit of the Yuan people in the south was not actually the land, but the complete receipt of the city, in which the huge income was enough to support them to issue paper money indiscriminately and plunder the wealth of the entire Han nation.
"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Taishi is honest and does not deceive me. ”
Xie Tang said with emotion that Liu Yu couldn't remember where this sentence came from, but there was a more famous sentence in later generations, which more profoundly revealed the terrible nature of capital.
"Capital, if it has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even in danger of being hanged."
The historical development of China is different from that of the West, because its feudal imperial power is too strong and has always suppressed the germ of capitalism, which may be the closest in this era.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty has been in a deep existential crisis, as a large part of the treasury revenue, the commercial tax is the pillar of the entire imperial court, therefore, up to the government hall of the princess and the queen mother, down to the ordinary people are not ashamed of their words.
"Good boy, good job, the old man opened his eyes today."
A mellow voice sounded behind the two, Liu Yu looked back, and the person who came was dressed in civilian clothes, tied with an ordinary jade belt, and a pressed jade pendant hanging on it was also inconspicuous, looking like he was only in his forties or fifties.
"Boy, see the king." The strange name of the prince of the Song people reminded him of the bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, but his face was extremely respectful.
"There is no king today, didn't you say it above, only recognize money, and Tong Su is not deceived. If the old man is counted in this matter, it will be a thousand shares, but it will take some time to raise money, and you can discuss the specific matters with the people in the house, and the old man will leave first. ”
A thousand shares, or a million pieces of silver, would be a great fortune no matter what method he ended up paying for. Liu Yu knew that he was making a gesture, and with such a forerunner, it would be a strong psychological hint to the people below.
Of course, it is not realistic to let these people pay for it now, and they will definitely do everything possible to investigate when they go back, which is also the cautious point of businessmen. There is less than a month left before the trade wind period, Liu Yu is not in a hurry, even if he does not raise the ideal amount in the end, he will not have any loss.
"Someone!"
On the edge of the Minjiang River between Hejiang County and Shenjian City, Wang Liangchen looked at Zan Wanshou and the other two Han army thousands of households who had fled back, and suddenly roared.
Hearing this, Zan Wanshou's heart trembled, he desperately fled back this time, and there were less than 500 people left behind, all of whom were his cronies and subordinates, and the remaining more than 2,000 people were thrown to the Song people.
"Take down the two of them, beat them with a hundred lashes, and order all the generals of more than 100 households in the army to watch the punishment for example."
Unexpectedly, Wang Liangchen's fingers crossed him and stopped at the two Han army thousand households, for a while, the three people were stunned, until his own soldiers came forward to drag, and the two thousand households shouted "wronged".
"Wronged, you still dare to speak, sit back and watch the friendly army cross the river, not only do not come forward to assist, but also do not respond after the setback, how did this Shuai talk to you when he set off, a qiē want to listen to the order of the book, do you wait?"
"If you don't follow the order, the guide zhì striker is frustrated, and you will be beaten with a hundred lashes, which is indeed too light, and you will not be convinced. Perhaps add fifty more lashes to each of them to fulfill your wishes. ”
Wang Liangchen's words made the two of them lower their heads, knowing that this beating was indispensable, and if they continued, it might become a beheading display, and several pro-soldiers dragged them outside, and tied them to the trunk of the tree in turn, and after a while, there was a "crackling" whipping sound.
"Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, ninety-nine, one hundred"
"Wait." Without waiting for the soldiers to continue counting, Zan Wanshou rushed forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Liangchen.
"Both of them are subordinates of a certain person, and when it comes to crimes, a certain striker cannot escape the blame, and please ask the court to be gracious, and the fifty lashes of both of them will fall on a certain body."
"In that case, let the whip be written down for the time being." Wang Liangchen's face soothed slightly, thinking that this person still knew the opportunity.
When the two of them were untied, their backs were already blurred, and they were all shocking to look at, they were all Wang Liangchen's cronies, and this whipping seemed to be really ruthless.
It's not that Wang Liangchen is ruthless, Zan Wanshou is a new descendant, and now he has lost most of his people, and he is too ruthless, but he is afraid that he will centrifuge. The following states in Jiading Mansion still rely on him, so even if there is such a defeat, Wang Liangchen cannot punish him, but has to comfort him more.
"Aren't all the Song people guarding the other side of the river?" The news of Zan Wanshou's return made him puzzled, the river is not deep, it can be directly waded, as long as you are willing to suffer casualties, you can break the siege if you rush over, the Song people don't concentrate on blocking the way, is there any other ambush?
The terrain in this area is different from other places, the river is full of cliffs near the water, it is impossible to hide people at all, Wang Liangchen is at a loss, where is Zhang Jue at the bottom?
"Okay, just order the two of you to make meritorious contributions, and the headquarters will cross the river first, and the commander will lead the army as a backup."
No matter what, this river is also going to be crossed, Wang Liangchen looked at the two thousand households that were swaying, their combat power was a few in this army, and it was just a time to test it as a sharp knife.
"Order, the whole army should quickly withdraw from the camp, and there must be no mistakes."
As soon as he waved his hand, the whole army immediately moved, these people had a full meal, it was the time when the morale of the body was at its highest, no matter where the Song people were, he had the confidence to face it.
Zan Wanshou followed him, and there was no joy in his heart that escaped the catastrophe, he looked at the riverbed in front of him where the water was shallow and more than half of it was exposed, and he always felt that something was not normal, and he couldn't say it in his heart. R1058
