As soon as he heard that Fan Biao had arrived, Kang Shiyuan immediately came to his senses, got up and went out first, preparing to go back to his private room.

"Fan Gongzi is polite." Kang Shiyuan happened to meet Kang Shiyuan in the corridor, so he smiled and greeted.

"The second son of the Kang family, fortunately, even if the salt is auctioned publicly, it will not be higher than 500,000 taels, the second son is a shrewd person, this 100,000 catties of salt, only I Fan can eat it, why bother to engage in an auction." Fan Biao's tone was very loud, his face was arrogant, Kang Shiyuan was very uncomfortable, but there was no expression on his face, and he still had a smile on his face.

"Hehe, is there anyone who can eat another thing, my Kang family is a big business family, businessmen are profit-oriented, for others, mercenary is a derogatory term, but for us businessmen, mercenary is a big compliment, what does Fan Gongzi think?!"

"Haha, yes, yes, mercenary is indeed the greatest compliment to our businessmen. The people are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, so some people take food as their day; We businessmen are panicked if we don't make money, and we businessmen take profit as the sky, haha. ”

"It's all profiteers!" The little monkey scolded angrily, his eyes full of contempt.

After a cup of tea, the side door of the small box slid open, and when the side door opened, each box was connected and had an unobstructed view. Qin Yiming only found himself sitting in the last position at this time.

The person in the first box is Kang Shiyuan, last time Kang Shiyuan sold salt, hidden, and found three people as intermediaries, this time he was already shirtless, he appeared in person, and there was an old man next to him and a clerk, sitting on the side to prepare a record.

"Everyone is here today, we don't talk nonsense, this East Street is the property of the imperial court, the transaction here is guaranteed to be fair and just, and Tong Su is not bullied, so everyone can rest assured, today the Kang family has 100,000 taels of salt to sell, and there are many buyers, so we hold an auction, the highest bidder, the second son, I don't know what the starting price of this 100,000 catties of salt is?" The old man asked.

"500,000 taels." Kang Shiyuan got up and said to the box behind him.

"Okay, 500,000 taels of auction, each time the price must not be less than 10,000 taels of silver, start now!" The old man said loudly.

"500,000 taels, I'll come out!" Fan Biao was the first to shout, and the others also shouted.

"This East Street is actually the property of the household department?" Qin Yiming was quite surprised.

The little monkey explained in a low voice: "I heard the little brother surnamed Wang at the door said that this East Street was built by Wei Zhongxian before, and Wei Zhongxian built this East Street in order to eat the salt of the merchants, so as to make huge profits, and also made a lot of silver money for the imperial court, I heard that the highest year earned more than 500,000 taels for the imperial court a year, but later Wei Zhongxian fell, and the people of Donglin felt that the East Street was competing with the people, so they didn't care much. ”

"Wei Zhongxian? How did Wei Zhongxian make Dongjie earn so much money for the imperial court? Qin Yiming asked puzzled.

The little monkey continued to explain: "At that time, Wei Zhongxian stipulated that the purchase and sale of salt and tea must be completed in the East Street Office, and the back of the salt introduction where the East Street is located must be stamped on the back, and this transaction can only be considered effective. ”

"Oh." Qin Yiming understood a little, this is similar to the sale of real estate such as houses in later generations, which must be registered with the government, otherwise the official will not recognize and protect it.

The villain is not a villain, Wei Zhongxian is also very talented in some aspects, at least stronger than Donglin as a person, during the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty and Houjin fought a few times, basically all of which were victories, and a large part of the credit should belong to Wei Zhongxian, because Wei Zhongxian provided logistical support, where is it like now, the imperial court is going to fight, but the money can't be put together, and the front-line officers and soldiers can't eat enough, can they not lose the battle.

"Six hundred thousand taels!" Li Guohao shouted loudly.

"Six hundred and one thousand taels." The little monkey shouted.

Li Guohao followed the sound and saw that the moment he saw Qin Yiming, the whole person was uncomfortable, Li Guohao gambled and drank last time, but he lost, fortunately, he was witty enough, pretended to be drunk and escaped the catastrophe, and now he doesn't dare to touch Qin Yiming, for fear that Qin Yiming will ask him to fulfill his promise and drill his crotch.

"Why is this evil star here!" Li Guohao muttered and cursed.

"Six hundred and twenty thousand taels."

"Six hundred and thirty thousand taels."

"700,000 taels!" Qin Yiming jumped directly to 700,000 taels, attracting everyone's attention.

Li Guohao looked over secretly, he didn't know why Qin Yiming came to grab the salt lead, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head to look at the others.

No one present dared to shout the price, Fan Biao was of course an exception, at this time Fan Biao was looking at Qin Yiming with vicious eyes, and asked the people around him: "Fan Nu, who is this person, so I don't know whether to live or die, didn't you spread the word?" This 100,000 catties of salt, our Fan family is determined to win, and whoever comes to grab it will not be able to get along with our Fan family. ”

"Young master, I passed it on, but this master is no one else, he is Qin Yiming Qin, who has been hot in Beijing recently, and the thousand households who stayed in the original Xingdu Division, he doesn't listen to us businessmen." Fan Nu next to him said aggrievedly.

"Qin Yiming, he is Qin Yiming who defeated the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Hmph, a small thousand households, actually shot 700,000 taels, it's really incredible! Fan Biao was very surprised, he didn't know anything about Qin Yiming, of course, a small thousand households couldn't get into his eyes.

"Young master, this Qin Yiming is nothing remarkable, just a rude martial artist, but this reckless martial artist has a good life, and he married a rich wife, Xu Zhen'er, the young lady of the Xu family in De'an Mansion, is the wife of this surnamed Qin, this Xu Zhen'er is powerful, she ......"

"I have secretly come into contact with that woman, Hui Zhi Lanxin, brilliant intelligence, a woman who can be compared to Da Ming, I can't count a finger, she is a powerful character, hey, why are flowers always inserted in cow dung.

This Qin Yiming won't join forces with the Fan family and play a double reed for me here! Fan Biao suddenly felt that this was a trap.

"Probably not, this Fan family and Qin Yiming are mortal enemies, this is unlikely."

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Miss Kang's family, Kang Shengnan, fell in love with this Qin Yiming, but as a result, the ancestor of the Kang family beat the mandarin ducks, and I heard that Miss Kang's family was locked up, but I don't know the specifics, but it is certain that they are rivals." Fan Nu said firmly, Fan Biao also nodded, if this is the case, it means that Qin Yiming himself wants this 100,000 catties of salt, and their Fan family wants salt for the master behind the Fan family, Daqing, but what is Qin Yiming doing with so much salt? But now it can barely be said, Qin Yiming is not a businessman, but his wife is, a businessman will be desperate to make money.

"If there is no increase in 700,000 taels, it is already a cup of tea, if there is no price increase, then today's buyer is ......"

"Seven hundred and one thousand taels!" Fan Biao shouted.

When Fan Biao shouted the bid, Kang Shiyuan was also relieved, but his heart was still hanging, although Qin Yiming kept saying that Fan Biao would definitely do whatever it took to grab this batch of salt, but he couldn't see any indication to support Qin Yiming's judgment.

"800,000 taels!" Qin Yiming's exit was amazing, and it was also an exit that hurt people, hurting the hearts of many people, and some people present were tormented by his bid to angina.

"Is this Lord Qin crazy?"

"I don't know if I'm crazy or not, anyway, I know now that Lord Qin is really rich, last time Lord Qin spent 100,000 taels in order to buy a woman from the Chu Pavilion, and this 100,000 catties of salt is far more than 800,000 taels."

"But I heard the old bustard of the Chu Pavilion say that Lord Qin's 100,000 taels have not been paid off."

"What do you know, it's that De'an Mansion is too far away from here, and they don't have a bank ticket from the Kang family, and if they haven't paid it off, it doesn't mean that they don't have money."

"Eight hundred and one thousand taels." Fan Biao knew that this was not a trap, so he made a reassuring offer, and he was determined to get this batch of salt.

"Nine hundred thousand taels." Qin Yiming shouted arrogantly again, after Qin Yiming's every time he shouted, Kang Shiyuan was hanging with a high heart, he was afraid that Fan Biao would not make a bid, and as a result, this auction became a failed auction.

Qin Yiming didn't have such worries, he was very sure, 100,000 catties of salt, what did the Fan family want so much salt for? Salt is not rice, 100,000 catties of rice is easy to eat, 100,000 catties of salt is not something that can be eaten at once, this Fan family is obviously serving Huang Taiji, since it is for Huang Taiji, it means that the Fan family must buy this batch of salt anyway, otherwise the Fan family will not be able to deal with their master.

Half a cup of tea passed, the second floor was very quiet, everyone was silent, at this time, even if a needle fell to the ground, everyone could hear clearly, everyone's eyes were staring at Fan Biao, watching Fan Biao drinking tea unhurriedly, his movements were elegant, wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, and there was an eight-petal high hat on his head. Where is the fat on the face squirming, only to hear the grunt, a mouthful of tea down the throat.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Fan Biao finally shouted out, the whole action gave people the feeling that he was hesitating at the moment, this was his mental tactic, and now he had shouted 900,000 taels, he couldn't make people feel that he still wanted to continue to shout, so that the opponent would shout unscrupulously, this is a temptation, if someone raises the price here, seeing Fan Biao hesitate like this, then this person should also weigh it.

"One million two thousand taels!" Qin Yiming shouted out a very underwhelming price.

The teacup in Fan Biao's hand almost fell, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, in his opinion, Qin Yiming was not raising the price, but sincerely grabbing this batch of salt with him, if the price was raised, Qin Yiming's way of raising the price was too exaggerated, and he couldn't see through his heart.

"Young master, this price is too high, beyond our affordability." Fan Nu whispered.

Kang Shiyuan was cursing Qin Yiming in his heart, he was extremely nervous, 1.2 million taels, would Fan Biao still make a price?
