Chapter 376: Unexpected Sky-High Price

Two days later, the city lord had prepared everything, and many trading houses that learned the news also came.

Bu Saiyu, who was upstairs, looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the show was about to begin.

"Niangniang, you can enter, the master said that everything has been prepared, just waiting for you to preside over the overall situation." A girl came over and said respectfully.

She nodded, finally coming, nervous and excited.

Seeing that she had arrived, he nodded at the city lord and signaled that he could start.

An old man stood on the top, waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet first, and said loudly: "Today's auction was arranged by Concubine Hui. Today, there is only one lot, the difference is in the quantity. Let Concubine Hui tell you about the specific matters in person. ”

After saying that, he bowed to everyone and went off the stage, and the people below talked a lot, but they didn't expect to see the high-flying Concubine Hui Niangniang here.

Walking slowly up from the other side, she didn't seem to hear the noise of the people below. Dressed in white, with a veil of the same color, his long black hair is fixed with two simple hostas, his small earlobes are decorated with silver thread earrings, and a few small silver bells are hung on his wrists, making a crisp sound when he walks, and the shoes on his feet are decorated with patterns embroidered with silver threads for auspicious clouds.

Although only one color is used on the body, it is not unconventional, and there is a mysterious and gentle temperament around the body, which makes people feel bright.

No wonder she can become the emperor's favorite woman, she is so beautiful without seeing her face, just a silhouette.

When he walked to the center of the stage, he stopped and turned to look at the people in the audience.

"I know you're still confused about today's auction, but I'll explain it to you right away. Today's lot is the number of fabrics in cooperation with the Imperial Cloth Workshop, and the more the quantity, the higher the price, and of course I have prepared a lot of choices for you. The cloth mills in Kyoto and Suxi City are mine, and you should know their ability to make money when you travel north and south. However, the cloth workshop in Suxi City has just begun, so there is only cloth. However, Kyoto's Naka Cloth Workshop has begun to sell ready-to-wear garments and accept jobs such as designing clothes. Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been raised, the smile on the corner of his mouth was perfectly concealed by the veil.

Although everyone didn't know these things very clearly, they had also heard of them, and now in Suxi City, the cloth shop has become one of the most lively shops in all.

"Soon, I will also open a cloth shop in South Star City, but I still have business for everyone. That's why I've decided to let your firm or shop sell our fabrics or ready-to-wear as well, and how many pieces of our fabric you can sell in a month depends on how many you sell today. After speaking, he slowly left the stage.

For the first time, they also heard that they were willing to share the business with someone else, and the colors of the fabrics designed by Hui Fei Niangniang were easy to snap up. When you think about it, the more you can get, the better it is.

Some people are ready to move, but some people are still ready to wait and see, the old man knocked on his head and said: "People are old, and their memory is also poor, and they just forgot to tell everyone that the contract between this and the court can only be changed once every three years." ”

There are fewer people watching now, and they are all gearing up, for fear of being surpassed by the people next to them.

The desired effect was finally achieved, and a smile appeared on the old man's face, "Since everyone can't wait, let's start." The first 1,000 batches of fabric, starting at 200,000 taels. The minimum price increase is 10,000 taels. As soon as the words fell, the sound of shouting the price rang out.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

"Three hundred thousand taels!"

"Three hundred and thirty thousand taels!" Xuanshu Literature Network

A well-dressed middle-aged man in the back, looking at it coldly, calculating the benefits of a thousand pieces of cloth in his heart, said lightly: "600,000 taels." ”

This voice quieted the audience at once, and just now at most one shouted 400,000 taels, but now he directly shouted three times the price.

Just as the old man was about to speak, a voice from the crowd burst out of the crowd gritting his teeth, "Seven hundred thousand taels." This time he didn't believe that anyone would earn money with him.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "One million taels." ”

The silence was terrifying, and the air seemed to have stood still. The old man didn't expect to be able to shout out such a price, and knew that no one would increase the price again, so he immediately finalized the transaction hammer.

Qingyun and Bu Qiyu's faces were full of incredulity at the same time, and they had already shouted this price for just one piece, which was really surprising to her.

"Niangniang, the slave thinks that if we don't go back, Your Majesty shouldn't be angry. If His Majesty knew about it, he would be very happy. At that time, we will not be held accountable for leaving the palace without permission. Qingyun said excitedly.

The number of next pieces became smaller and smaller, and the smallest one was only 50 pieces of fabric, but it still sold for as high as 150,000 taels.

Bu Qiyu's mouth was about to grin behind her ears, although she hadn't counted how many silver taels there were today, but she must know the amount that she didn't dare to think.

After the end of the market, the city lord counted the number and came over with a smile, "Niangniang is really clever, the proceeds of today's auction are a total of 15.61 million taels." After speaking, the smile on his face widened.

Although I had been prepared, I got up from my chair excitedly after hearing this number, "Are you sure?" ”

He nodded immediately, and if he hadn't figured it out, he wouldn't have dared to report it.

Taking a deep breath, he said to the city lord in front of him: "Song Yuan, I will reward you for what the palace promised you to do." After that, the palace will open a dyeing workshop and a cloth workshop here, of which the cloth workshop will be handed over to you to be responsible for scheduling, if the performance is good, one percent of the profit in the cloth workshop will be given to you every year. But you also have to remember that you can't rub sand in your eyes, so be smart, and Your Majesty will remember you. ”

I thought I would reward some things casually, but I didn't expect Bu Qiyu to believe in such a big deal that he actually let the profits of Yicheng Cloth Factory directly give him it. Judging from today's situation, this profit may have been his fortune for several lifetimes.

knelt down sincerely, "Thank you Concubine Hui, the lower officials must do their best for Niangniang, and then die." ”

He is a person who understands that the affairs of the cloth workshop must be handled fairly, and he must be able to restrain the greed in his heart. If you can't do this, I'm afraid that the disaster of killing will come sooner than glory and wealth.

Although the matter here had just ended, Leng Mei secretly sent the news back, if Zhao Xihe really didn't know the situation here, he naturally wouldn't let her stay here for so long.

"Mother, are we going back?" Qingyun asked seriously while packing up his things. If I go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him.

Shaking his head slightly, "Don't worry, although the auction is over, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, and it will probably take a few days." Bu Saitama said after pondering.

Hearing that he would not go back for the time being, Qingyun became happy again and went to wash his clothes humming a little song.
