"Thank you for your kindness, hum, isn't it just money! Even if you shoot, how much money you shoot, the old man will give you how much money, is it okay? ”

Cheng Yanjin said that he returned to his box in a huff, he wanted to see what kind of price he had to pay for being opportunistic.

"This is the only 100-year-old ginseng, the starting price is 5,000 taels, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 taels each time, especially reminding, because something unpleasant happened, so I officially announced that in the next five years, the Cai family will not take out the 100-year-old ginseng to auction, and will not send anyone a century-old ginseng out of morality, so if you don't go to Liaodong to dig, then this will be the only 100-year-old ginseng in five years."

Cai Cong said fiercely, and everyone's faces changed greatly. Not everyone has the ability to go to Gaochang Country to collect ginseng, and they don't have the ability of the Cai family, who can make a lot of money between coming and going.

For a while, everyone had a lot of resentment towards Cheng Yanjin, and they were determined to take down this century-old ginseng.

Everyone worked hard and bid silently, and the amount grew from six thousand, eight thousand, fourteen, and seventeen, and finally to twenty-two or twenty-six.

At this time, everyone couldn't calm down, and their palms were pinched in cold sweat, looking nervously at a few people who were still competing.

Gao Shilian, Li Jing, Xiao Yu and Qin Qiong, two of them are old and two of them have been injured and damaged after years of fighting, and they are all afraid.

As for why the eldest grandson Wuji, the emperor's brother-in-law, withdrew, not for anything else, his uncle is gone, then he has to quit.

I was raised by my uncle, and if I compete with my uncle, it is really unfilial.

However, the strongest family is Li Jing, and after a big war, he also made a lot of money, and finally he auctioned the hundred-year-old ginseng at a price of 28,800 taels.

Chen Yanjin was full of remorse in his heart, he still squeezed out tens of thousands of taels, and offended Cai Cong in order to take advantage of it, and now Cai Cong's trick has offended so many people, and he wants to slap himself when he thinks about it.

In addition to congratulating Li Jing with his fist, the people present sneered at Cheng Biting Jin, it is best not to die of old age, sickness and death in the past five years, otherwise it will be counted on Cheng Biting Jin's head.

If it weren't for him, maybe another ginseng plant would have been photographed by himself! Cheng Yanjin could only be laughed at by everyone with an embarrassed face, there was no way, who called himself angry with everyone.

Just when everyone was packing up their things and wanted to leave, Cai Cong slammed the gong five or six times, which startled everyone, and they all looked at the stage and looked at Cai Cong, what is this bastard crazy about?

"Everybody, let's auction the last lot of the day, the finale of the finale, the most important lot. If you are not in a hurry, please sit down and bid. ”

"Cai Cong, the ginseng has been auctioned today, what other treasure can compare to the ginseng, and it should be placed at the end?"

Someone asked everyone's questions, and there were no other auction items written in the auction book, so they were added temporarily!

"Naturally, the ginseng is not a surprise, the Cai family caravan plans to go south, develop the southern wild world, and at the same time build a big ship to sail out to sea, looking for treasures on the sea, this southward will be an epoch-making change, the caravan owner is determined to take out thirty percent of the shares into thirty shares for auction, the highest price gets, you can enjoy the dividends of the south every year, but you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the south."

"What's a good thing? The south is a barbarian land, with poor mountains and bad waters, poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere, what is there to develop? Li Daozong said disdainfully, except for a few places in the south where people can live in front of them, the rest of the places are evil places full of poisonous insects and miasma in their eyes, and it is strange to spend money to develop this kind of place, without losing money.

"King Ren Cheng doesn't know, although the south is a barbarian land, but everywhere is wealth, not to mention the grain that is ripened three times a year, that is, those barbarians do not know treasures, gems, gold and jade are used to build houses, spices are burned as firewood, not to mention that there are countless treasures overseas, and some islands are full of gold and stone jewels flowing in the river. This is nothing, the most important thing is that the mountains and rivers will be developed and there will be countless rich fields, Lord Wang, do you say that there is a need for development in the south? ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, it doesn't matter if the south is important, just look at the trend of history, the first thing Qin Shihuang did after unifying the world was to set his sights on the south, Emperor Yang of Sui also regarded the development of the south as the top priority, and Li Shimin also set his sights on the south when the world was settled.

"Even so, how can you guarantee that your southward journey under the guidance of Cai Cong can bring profits? Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Qin and others all tried, how the final outcome is well known, how can you compare a mere caravan to a huge empire? ”

Gao Shilian stood up and said, he naturally knew the importance of the south, but it was not time to go to the south at this time. If we want to develop the south, we must have no worries at home, and there must be no tiger enemy outside.

This is precisely the status quo of the Tang Dynasty, although it is as powerful as a giant dragon, but there are natural disasters inside, and there are strong countries such as Tubo and Gaochang outside, and it costs a lot of financial resources and manpower to go south, so hand the handle of the knife to the enemy and let them stab themselves.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the world is bustling for profit, the empire often relies on the law, and the order to order the people to go south will naturally arouse the resentment of the people, but I drive it to profit, and the people are naturally willing. Didn't you stay here to listen to me for a good word? ”

Cai Cong said very calmly, he is not afraid that this group of people will not be tempted at all, since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, as long as they are not saints, then they will want to get more wealth.

"It's not more than one hundred, how much profit can you get?"

"Such as mountains of gold and silver, three generations of food is inexhaustible, is it enough?" Cai Cong shook the copper hammer in his hand and said playfully, seeing the changes in everyone's eyes.

"Is that true?"

"That's true! Are you interested? There is no such shop in this village! This is what the big proprietor said for a long time before I agreed, otherwise I would have shared so much money for nothing, do you think I am willing? ”

"I don't know how much money I need?" Li Jing was the first to stand up and say that in the past few days, when someone had impeached him for breaking the Turks, he plundered wealth and embezzled spoils of war, but Li Shimin didn't even say a word of trust, he was obviously afraid of him.

"Not much, you have the ears of the field." Cai Cong said leisurely, completely ignoring everyone's faces, they all looked so ugly, there was so much land in the Tang Dynasty, they swallowed it like this, I don't know how many homeless people will appear in the world.

"Ridiculous! What His Majesty gave the field is fundamental, and the incense is passed down from generation to generation, how dare you open such a mouth? ”

Li Xiaogong immediately spoke out against it, people in this era value the land more than life, and it is difficult to ask them to hand it over.

"I can't look down on the acres of land given by His Majesty. But King Ren Cheng is afraid that he doesn't know the geometry of the fields in his home, right? ”

"A woman naturally takes care of some small things, how can this king ask about such a small matter?"

"Well said. The woman is even more well organized, and the four thousand dumps of land along the west of the river are all returned to the palace of the king, and the people are either reduced to tenants or the whole family dies into the mountains as homeless people, I don't know if the prince knows it? ”

"How is this possible?"
