All the funds are open and transparent, and they can withstand anyone's inspection, and Tianxia Lou itself will invest a lot of money in the Charity Hall every year. Regardless of whether it is a literary gamble or a martial gamble, whether it is a winner or a loser, there is no doubt about the credibility of the world.

Since the world downstairs released this, then everyone is at ease, antique calligraphy and paintings are easy to appear fakes, and you will lose a lot of money if you buy a fake!

"Shopkeeper Yuan, since everyone in the world has spoken like this, we must believe it."

"That's right, that's right."

Lao Yuan saw that he didn't ask any questions, so he picked up a number plate from the auction table: "You can look at the side of your chair, everyone has a number plate, if you encounter it!" If you want something, you will raise the number plate to offer, and the first priority price to raise the number plate shall not be lower than the consistent price each time. ”

Hearing Lao Yuan say this, everyone looked at their chairs, and sure enough, everyone had a number plate.

Li Xiaogong sat at the top of the list, he just glanced at his "second" number plate, and knew that most of the people on the dragon chair were also here.

"Now that everyone knows the rules, Lao Yuan, I will be the first auction item."

Lao Yuan clapped his hands, and immediately two waiters carefully carried up a box and placed it next to the auction table.

Lao Yuan opened the box and saw that the box was full of cotton, and Lao Yuan opened the cotton to reveal a square wooden frame with double-sided glass in the box.

The wooden frames are all made of sandalwood, but what the people present care about is not the glass and the wooden frame, but the things sandwiched between the double glass!

Bronze shells!

Lao Yuan picked up a frame, placed it on the auction table, adjusted the two pieces of glass on the auction table so that the sunlight could shine on the wooden frame, and then said: "As we all know, money is a good thing!" But do you know what the earliest copper coins appeared in our Datang land?

It's a bronze shell! My master said that copper shellfish and gold-coated copper shellfish only began to appear in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was only in the late Shang period that bronze began to appear, and the appearance of bronze promoted the development of production and the increase of trading activities. As a result, people searched for more suitable monetary materials, and bronze coinage came into being.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the original words of my master, anyway, my old yuan believes it. The other day, because of ......... Well, I can't explain why, anyway, these bronze shells must be the currency of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, although they can't be used as copper coins, but they are really rare souvenirs for us and other businessmen! Even my lords, collecting such a long-standing thing is also a rare and good product.

This collection frame was made by my master Yan Liben, who asked the master craftsman, and it will not enter the water, and it will be auctioned one at a time, a total of twenty. ”

After speaking, Lao Yuan picked up the small hammer, pointed to the first collection box and said, "The first one, the reserve price is fifty yuan!" ”

As soon as Lao Yuan finished speaking, a wealthy businessman said directly: "One hundred times!" ”

Thinking that something was not right, he hurriedly raised his number plate.

A hundred times~

At this time, everyone hesitated, there are still nineteen things, and there is no hurry at this time, although this thing is indeed very collectible, but a hundred times are not blown by the wind, and they don't want to waste money on this first auction item, after all, there are better things behind!

As a result, there was only one merchant holding a sign in the whole auction, and the scene was strange.

Lao Yuan smiled slightly, he was not surprised by this scene, a hundred is a hundred, these bronze shells were not bought, but they were blown up during the experimental artillery of the Thunder Division, and they were picked up in vain, if it wasn't for Leng Feng to stop them, Zhang Zhongqing would have thrown away these bronze shells.

"100 times for the first time!"

"One hundred times for the second time!"

"A hundred times for the third time! Deal! ”

Lao Yuan smashed a hammer on the small wooden board, and he didn't quite understand why the master asked him to hammer it with a small hammer when he made a deal.

In the "SVIP private room", Li Shimin was eating twist flowers, and knowing that he liked oily things, Leng Feng fried some twist flowers for him.

While chewing on the crunchy twist flower, Li Shimin said: "Is this really the earliest coin? ”

Leng Feng shook his head: "The earliest people actually used shells as currency, but I want to say that shells are the earliest currency, and then take some shells up for auction, do you think those merchants will buy it?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head, if it weren't for Leng Feng, if someone else came over and told him that shells were the earliest currency, he would definitely not believe it.

Turning to the dragon shadow, Li Shimin pointed outside and said, "Go and cut one down, I will also collect it." ”

Leng Feng waved his hand to let Long Ying stay, and said to Li Shimin: "You are the emperor, it's nothing to intercept one, but you have to pay a hundred yuan." ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Leng Feng suspiciously, it was really interesting, it was the first time in his life that he had seen someone who dared to blatantly ask the emperor for money to settle the bill, and the others were afraid that the emperor would not take it for nothing!

Leng Feng pointed outside and said: "With our friendship, even a million yuan of things can be sent, but when there are established rules, whether you are the emperor or not, you must abide by them, which involves the issue of people's reputation."

You are the emperor, and you are also in this auction at this time, so you must take responsibility for yourself and abide by the order here. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Although what you said is vague, it seems that there is a big truth in it, but it is only a hundred times, and I will take it." ”

Leng Feng smiled bitterly, what is the big reason, it's just that he spontaneously resisted Li Shimin's privileged behavior, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen in the Tang Dynasty, even if he had privileges, Li Shimin was the same.

Twenty collection frames were sold out in turn, except for the one cut by Li Shimin, the cheapest one was the first one, and the last one was fried to 300 yuan.

People's values are like this, they don't care when they are easy to get, and they regret it when they are about to get it. Two hundred, twenty collection frames, means that there are one hundred and eighty people who can't get it, and when they think about it, they can't get it, even if they comfort themselves that the things behind it are better, they can't help but bid to get one.

Selling the last collection box, Lao Yuan smiled slightly, and asked people to bring up a box, the box was very ordinary, after opening it, I saw that there was a white stone inside.

Lao Yuan cleared his throat, pointed to the white stone and said: "This is a piece of white stone, you should also know that we have a cement workshop downstairs in the world, cement is the most suitable for construction, much stronger than glutinous rice stone walls and mud walls."

The generals of the court used this thing to build the border city wall, and the effect was surprisingly good, but there are many city walls! We don't have enough in one workshop, so we want to share this recipe! ”
