Chapter 255: The Pit Money Begins
As soon as they heard about the auction, the smiles on the faces of the ministers present who were still smiling at the beginning began to slowly disappear.
Qin Ming continued: "In this charity auction, I will take out some things for auction, and the highest bidder will win. All the money from the sale will be donated to the disaster area. ”
As soon as these words came out, those ministers were expressionless, and the people around them and the people on the second and third floors applauded one after another.
Naturally, they can see this kind of thing for the people.
But the officials' faces gradually turned unsightly.
"Excuse me, ministers, do you have any questions? If there is no problem, our auction is about to begin. ”
After Qin Ming finished speaking, no one spoke.
However, some of the ministers present wanted to leave.
However, Qin Ming had already been prepared, and when he waved his hand, the fat man asked several subordinates to come up with another blackboard.
Ten round tables were drawn on the blackboard, each numbered with four numbers, corresponding to the seats of the forty ministers present.
Next to each number, the official position and name of the minister are also written.
For example, the No. 1 table No. 1 is written next to it: Prime Minister Li Luo and Mrs. ~
In this way, the surrounding people could see who was sitting at the ten tables as soon as they looked at the blackboard.
All of a sudden, the identities of these officials were exposed, and now they had to pay attention to their images, because everyone knew their identities and names.
That's not all, Qin Ming also spoke loudly: "This auction is mainly for the ministers to give love to the disaster area. After all, everyone is an official, and it should be for the country and the people. Besides, you don't spend money in vain, after all, you are buying things.
Of course, if there are ministers who don't want to make a little effort, then they can leave. We will not despise him, let alone mock him, people, poor or deducted, understand! ”
For a time, many officials were angry.
I just wanted to leave, how do I leave now? His identity and name were exposed, and Qin Ming said this kind of thing again, once he left, everyone knew who he was, how embarrassing.
As a result, these officials could only sit, but their faces were really ugly.
This was just Qin Ming's first means to keep these ministers.
Next is the second method, scam money!
I saw him wave his hand, and behind the hall, several maids came up.
Each of them had a bucket of instant noodles of different flavors on the tray in their hands, and they were standing beside Qin Ming at this moment.
I heard Qin Ming say: "Everyone, today's auction items are all things I took out, and all the officials present can bid for the auction." In addition, again, the money from the auction is not for me.
I give something out, you buy it, and the money goes to the disaster area, no matter how I calculate it, I am at a loss, so don't think that I am making your money, ministers. ”
The system voice sounded: "Shameless, what did you lose?" ”
Qin Ming ignored the system and continued: "Now, I announce the start of the auction, and the first lot today is instant noodles, I believe the ministers present have heard of and seen instant noodles."
That's right, it's the instant noodles I gave at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. At that time, the Queen Mother ate it and praised it again and again. It's a pity that this thing is very rare, so even if the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress want to eat it, it will be difficult......"
As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, he heard the Ministry of Industry Shangshu say: "When you were fighting in the Northwest Border Pass, didn't you give this thing to tens of thousands of people every day?" How is it rare? ”
Frowning, Qin Ming glanced at the Ministry of Works, thinking to himself, "Are you here to smash the field?"
However, he still explained: "Then may I ask the Ministry of Works, can you find a bucket of instant noodles?" If not, then he's a rarity. ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was speechless, although he couldn't get instant noodles anyway, he knew that Qin Ming must have a lot.
"Nothing to say, right? It's not that I said, some people can't eat this instant noodles for the rest of their lives. Qin Ming said.
As soon as he heard this, he was unhappy with the Ministry of Works, but he was also a second-grade Shangshu, what in this world he couldn't eat?
"What do you mean by that? What does it mean that I can't eat instant noodles for the rest of my life? The 30,000 soldiers at the border have eaten, can I eat it as a second-class official of the imperial court? Ministry of Industry Shangshu said.
Qin Ming smiled: "Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, I'm not targeting you, I mean that all the adults present basically can't eat." ”
This directly offended all the officials, when so many people said that they couldn't eat instant noodles?
Well, it seems that no one has ever eaten it.
But the 30,000 soldiers at the border pass have eaten, and these officials have not eaten it, so they really have no face.
So, the Ministry of Industry snorted: "How much do you sell it for?" This official has to eat a bucket today. ”
Many ministers also opened their mouths, saying that they would buy a bucket and taste it anyway.
Qin Ming smiled and said, "Everyone, there are only five barrels here, that is to say, only the five powerful adults present can eat it." ”
As soon as they heard this, the forty officials immediately made up their minds to get instant noodles no matter what.
One is that it is a shame that I have not eaten it, and the other is that only five powerful people can get it, so if I can't get it, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
So, Zuo Xiang spoke: "How much is it, say!" ”
Qin Ming smiled, these people couldn't withstand Qin Ming's provocation with a few words, and finally fell for it.
So he cleared his throat: "It's not expensive, one thousand taels and one barrels!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent!
At first, many ministers decided to buy it, but now they suddenly shrank their necks and forget it.
One thousand taels and one bucket, what are you kidding, some of the officials present don't have a thousand taels a year, and they eat a bucket of instant noodles for a thousand taels?
Although many of them have been corrupt and bribed, they are reluctant to eat a bucket of instant noodles with 1,000 taels.
Of course, there are also those who want to grit their teeth and buy them, such as the Ministry of Works, such as the Prime Minister and the Taifu.
A thousand taels is okay for them, after all, they just put down the words, and it seems that they really lose face if they don't buy it.
So the Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "One thousand taels, I want a bucket!" ”
Prime Minister Zuo spoke: "I want it too!" ”
Youdu Yushi: "I want it too!" ”
Taifu: "The old man has one~"
"And me!" Dali Siqing said.
Five barrels, all ordered.
But at this time, the right prime minister spoke: "One thousand and one hundred taels, I want a bucket." ”
Qin Ming looked at the Ministry of Works: "One thousand and one hundred taels on the right." ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu gritted his teeth: "One thousand two hundred taels." ”
So Qin Ming looked at the left minister again: "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu shouted that the price was over, go to the back row, you may be ...... this"
Zuo Xiang snorted: "One thousand three hundred taels ......"
So, Qin Ming asked one by one, and soon, in order not to fall out of the five buckets of instant noodles, they all worked hard.
In the end, it was added all the way to two thousand taels.
When it was the turn of the Ministry of Industry Shangjia again, he gritted his teeth and gave up.
However, the five people have increased to 2,000 taels, and the five buckets of instant noodles are sold for 10,000 taels, which is okay.
Now, there are still 690,000 taels of silver left, and Qin Ming has to continue.
I saw that after he asked people to send instant noodles to the five ministers and collected the money, he waved his hand again.
Then a maid came up with a tray with a pack of cigarettes on it.
