Chapter 105: Daming Auction House (Part I) (First Update)

After Zhu Houzhao learned that he had been deceived, he was extremely unhappy, and he wanted to kill the Hou Mansion of Shouning very much, and asked Zhang Heling, an unscrupulous uncle, in person why he deceived himself.

However, when he learned that Zhang Heling sold the mirror for a high price of 10,000 taels of silver, he suddenly became angry.

Because Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that it was good for Zhang Heling to help him raise the price of the glass mirror, and now that Zhang Heling had a handle in his hands, he would also have a countermeasure to deal with this unscrupulous uncle in the future.

has been with Li Zhao for a long time, and Zhu Houzhao has more or less learned some methods of hype.

Therefore, this clever prince was not only not angry, but also began to make a fuss about the mirror that Zhang Heling sold to a wealthy businessman surnamed Qiao.

He sent people everywhere to publicize how worthwhile, how happy, and how face-saving it was for a wealthy businessman surnamed Qiao to spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy this glass treasure mirror.

Even, Zhu Houzhao also investigated clearly, and this glass treasure mirror finally entered the mansion of Jiao Fang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

So, he sent people to publicize in the market that the rich businessman surnamed Qiao, because of this glass treasure mirror, the relationship between Jiao Fang, the right attendant of the Zhengsanpin Rite Department, made Jiao Fang feel more faced, and since then, the Qiao family's industry has been guaranteed, and it has also entered the fast lane, and it can soar in the future.

For a time, the topic of glass treasure mirrors became more and more heated in the capital.

……

In front of Daming Gate, Qipan Street.

Recently, there is a building on Qipan Street that is being renovated, and everyone knows that this is the Daming Auction House that is about to open, but no one knows what the situation is inside.

Because, the outside of this building has been wrapped in black cloth, and the construction going on inside cannot be seen by outsiders.

As for the craftsmen who worked inside, they were also given a big ban by Zhu Houzhao, strictly prohibiting them from spreading the news about the Daming Auction House, even their wives and children.

These craftsmen were all hired by Zhu Houzhao from the Ministry of Industry, and their professionalism was very high, so when someone spent money to inquire about them, they were all silent, and refused to disclose half of the news about the Daming Auction House.

This adds a touch of mystery to this Daming auction hall wrapped in black cloth.

Everyone, when they pass by here, will stop for a long time, trying to see through what is going on inside.

If this is a few hundred years later, when smartphones occupy the mainstream era, this place will definitely become a very popular Internet celebrity check-in point.

However, the boom is just beginning!

When the decoration is completed and the curtain is opened, it is the time to attract everyone's attention and admiration!

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"Xiao Jing, what has the prince been doing lately?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently organized an auction of glass treasure mirrors."

"Auction?"

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled, he didn't understand what this auction meant, and he didn't know what kind of model the auction was.

Because, even the word auction is a new word in this era.

Don't look at the hundreds of years later, all kinds of novels have written about the auction superbly, and the auction has all kinds of sky-high prices.

But in fact, the auction, in this Daming, is really the first time that the big girl is in a sedan chair.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no auction at all, at most, there was only an official sale.

What is the official sale, that is, the official committed an accident and was raided, so the property of the official confiscated by the imperial court, including the house deed, land deed, antique calligraphy and painting, etc., is sold after being appraised by the tooth shop, which is the official sale.

After the appraisal of the tooth shop, it was sold out, and there was no bidding process in the middle, because the bidding mode of auction really had not appeared at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi was well-read and couldn't understand what the auction process was.

Xiao Jing saw Emperor Hongzhi's incomprehension, he didn't understand the auction, but he went to understand the process of Zhu Houzhao's upcoming auction of glass treasure mirrors, and also learned about the process of Zhang Heling auctioning the glass treasure mirror on the street on Qipan Street, so he had a general understanding of the auction in his heart.

So, he told Emperor Hongzhi about his understanding of the auction and the specific situation of Zhang Heling's auction of glass treasure mirrors on Qipan Street.

"This Shou Ninghou is really becoming more and more lawless, relying on the queen's favor, this kind of bullying thing dares to do it!"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard Xiao Jing say that Zhang Heling's glass treasure mirror was bought at a low price by Zhu Houzhao in the name of giving it to the empress, he was very unhappy.

Originally, he just didn't like this Zhang brother more and more, and this time, he deceived Zhu Houzhao, and then made a profit with it, making Zhu Houzhao make less money, and he was even more unhappy.

Because, in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao's money is his money, even if Zhu Houzhao has the ability to turn the sky upside down, he wants to make Zhu Houzhao poor in an instant, which is a matter of one sentence.

However, the Zhang family's money, it is different, if he confiscates the property of the Zhang family for no reason, not to mention the queen's opposition, even the civil and military officials will be scared a lot, and he may have to bear the infamy of a tyrant.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's money is completely different from other people's money.

Zhu Houzhao, he can knead casually, pinch the circle if he wants, pinch it if he wants to pinch it, and pinch it if he wants to pinch it.

"Forget it, Shou Ninghou's actions, if you don't think about improvement, it will be the way to die in the future, and I don't care. Tell us when the auction will take place. ”

"It's ...... Tonight. ”

"Tonight?"

Emperor Hongji's breath suddenly became heavy.

"This rebel, can't you violate the curfew? I have not received any request from him to lift the curfew. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was really a little angry, Zhu Houzhao blatantly violated the curfew without his consent, or even notified, this is simply lawless to the extreme, much more serious than Shouning Marquis committing the crime of bullying the king!

Xiao Jing knew that Emperor Hongzhi would be angry after hearing this, but, as the eyes and ears of Emperor Hongzhi, he must be loyal to Emperor Hongzhi and tell Emperor Hongzhi why Zhu Houzhao was so bold.

He bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to participate in the auction, and has also publicized that Your Majesty has agreed to lift the curfew......"

"Bang-"

Emperor Hongzhi slapped his palm on the imperial case and said angrily:

"Bastard! When did I agree to lift the curfew, I didn't even see anyone else, and this rebel dared to falsely preach the Holy Decree! ”

Xiao Jing was not surprised by Emperor Hongzhi's anger, he knew in his heart that Emperor Hongzhi's anger was only temporary, because Emperor Hongzhi was an extremely filial person, and he was afraid of his wife.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, do you want to go and inform the maid that you have not agreed to lift the curfew."

Xiao Jing reminded cautiously.

"That's it! That's it! Lift it, lift it! I'm going to take a look tonight to see what kind of tricks this rebel is going to do. ”
