"Although I have looked up to Zhang Bin as much as possible, it seems that it is not enough now!" Han Qi was shocked in his heart, although he had expected that the bidding method would definitely succeed, but he also did not expect that so much money would be raised, plus yesterday's more than 400,000 guan, looking at this situation, it would be a matter of time before it broke through 500,000.

"This son...... I'm still underestimating. Wang Anshi's expression was the most complicated, he was hit hard, and he was depressed that the equalization law would inevitably be abolished, and at the same time, he was also happy that the imperial court had a very large source of wealth since then.

Li Shunju's face was always filled with a happy smile from the bottom of his heart, and he was in a hurry to tell the good news to the Son of Heaven halfway, and sent someone into the palace in advance.

The depression and anger in Sima Guang's heart could no longer be concealed, he glanced at Zhang Bin fiercely, and left ahead of schedule with a gloomy face.

Wu Chong, the third division, was actually the most pleased, and even walked over deliberately, patted Zhang Bin on the shoulder, and sighed: "Ziyu, do you have the intention to come to my third division to serve, even if you don't have a meritorious reputation, the old man can protect you with an official position of the sixth grade." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head without hesitation, and bowed down and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the envoy, the lower official still wants to participate in the imperial examination next year and then become an official." ”

"That's fine." Wu Chong was not surprised by Zhang Bin's answer, nodded, and was about to turn around and leave.

Zhang Bin suddenly said: "Envoy, the lower official has another suggestion." ”

Wu Chong stopped and said politely: "Ziyu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhang Bin said: "The envoy can ask the merchants who have obtained the right to transfer and sell grain on the three roads in the northwest to exchange the money for grain, and let them directly arrange for people to be sent to Dashun City, and the imperial court can send officers and soldiers to escort them." The envoy was assured that these big grain merchants had grain in their hands, and even if it was not enough, they would definitely have a way to raise enough. ”

Wu Chong's eyes lit up and he praised: "Yes, in this way, it saves a lot of time, not to mention, the imperial court saves a lot of transportation costs." ”

……

"Jiangnan East Road, began to bid for the price, and the highest price ...... Got ......."

An official of the Third Division, standing on the stone steps, shouted a little proudly, obviously enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by all eyes.

Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road are the roads that produce the most grain in the Great Song Dynasty, and because of the convenience of the canal and the wealth of Jiangnan, you can carry too many private goods.

Therefore, these two roads are also the roads with the highest price tag.

But only six of them have the qualifications to win these two roads: Lianghan, Chen, Yu, Fu and Mi Fatzi. However, Mi Fatzi, Lianghan and the rich family have each photographed the three-way land, which is already saturated, and now only the Chen family and the Yu family, the two largest grain merchants in the Great Song Dynasty, are left, although each family has won the two-way land, but they are still full of strength and began to bid for Jiangnan East Road.

When the salute fell, the first to push open the door and hand out the kraft paper bag was the Chen family.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jia also handed out a brown paper bag.

The two officials took the brown paper bag and walked towards the calibration hall where Cai Jing was staring.

It didn't take long for the little official who gave the Chen family a price bag to walk out, but just as the little official who gave the Yu family a price bag stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Cai Jing's voice suddenly came out of it: "Stop." ”

Zhang Bin turned his head to look, only to see that the little official's face changed, and his body almost stumbled, and then stopped.

Cai Jing walked out of it, stared at the little official coldly, and shouted: "It's so daring, I dared to change the standard bag halfway." ”

The little official hurriedly said: "The official has wronged the villain, and the villain has never changed the standard bag." ”

Zhang Bin immediately understood what was going on, obviously the Chen family bought this little official and secretly changed the bidding bag of the Yu family, and the fake bid price in it must be very low, even directly lower than the minimum price, which directly led to the failure of the Yu family's bidding, so that the Chen family could not only win Jiangnan East Road, but also at a lower price.

Cai Jing's eyes quickly swept across the audience, and when he found that Han Qi, Wang Anshi, and Li Shunju were all staring at him, his heart perked up, and he sneered with confidence: "Fortunately, this official has been prepared for a long time, and has made a unique obscure mark on each price bag." ”

When the little official heard this, his face turned pale and he fell directly to the ground.

Zhang Bin was chatting with the third envoy Wu Chong, and found that the third envoy's face had become extremely cold, so he didn't interject, Cai Jing obviously had excellent eyes, and he wanted to show off again, but when he saw Wu Chong's face, he stood aside.

This little official is a small official of the third division, Wu Chong gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, search for me." ”

An important minister like Wu Chong brought an escort in, and immediately a guard stepped forward and searched out another price bag from the small official's wide sleeve, which was the real price bag of the original Yu family.

"Someone come, immediately send this bold man to the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, tell Su Shi, the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, and put this rat thief on death row." In front of everyone's eyes, there was a thief under his subordinates, which was an extremely embarrassing thing for a civil official like Wu Chong, and this petty official's behavior would directly lead to a loss of at least 30,000 yuan of money in the imperial court.

"The official spares his life, and the villain doesn't dare anymore." The little official immediately looked desperate, crawled on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Chong, his forehead hit the floor, and soon he was bruised, because Wu Chong said that he would be on death row, and it was almost impossible to come out alive.

The little official's forehead was about to bleed, but Wu Chong didn't bear it at all, and his face was even more murderous, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, don't drag it away." ”

The two guards hurriedly stepped forward and forcibly took the little official away.

On the other side, it was the people of the Chen family who were as pale as the little official, especially Chen Wen, the head of the Chen family, whose face was difficult to see to the extreme, and he had already staggered over, knelt directly at Wu Chong's feet, and begged respectfully: "Envoy, please let the villain explain, that little official ......"

"Shut up!" Wu Chong burst into a shout, and he was about to let this Chen Wen be put in prison, but suddenly remembered something, glanced at Zhang Bin, turned to Han Qi who was squinting and looked at this side, and said: "Han Xianggong, the lower official wants to hand over this Chen family to Zhang Bin, the bidding envoy to deal with it, what does Xianggong think?" ”

Han Qi nodded and said, "Very good." ”

Wu Chong looked at Li Shunju again, and the latter waved his hand and said, "It's all up to the envoy to make the decision." ”

Wu Chong looked at Wang Anshi again, the latter nodded, and said, "There are still two ways left, let's do it normally!" ”

Many businessmen looked at the Chen family kneeling on the ground, almost all of them were full of schadenfreude, obviously the Chen family was really not very good at doing things on weekdays.
