"Knock knock~~~" with a strong traverser-style auction hammer epoch-making sounded on the professional auction table.

On May 1, 264 AD, in the city of Chengdu, the Tongsifang Casino under the command of the Mijia Trading Company. The central hall has been renovated and transformed into a modern auction house. And on the second floor above the auction house, there are also twenty single rooms.

"Knock knock~~~ Friends from the thirteen states, this official is the host of this auction, and the Han Dynasty is the master of the Han Dynasty."

As soon as Mi Zhao's voice fell, there was a sparse sound of inverted color in the venue - there is no doubt that this is the dissatisfaction of the powerful or powerful representatives from outside Yizhou.

"Hehe, by the way, the official has forgotten that there are many friends in the audience today who do not recognize my country. But! After knocking the auction hammer twice, Mi Zhao raised his voice: "Today is the auction of the salt field under the control of the Han, if you don't recognize the Han, then what are you doing here?" Well! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was slightly controlled, Mi Zhao took a breath: "Friends, especially friends from the north and the east. In this auction, I am very sincere. All in all, the one with the highest price wins. After taking the salt farm, as long as the salt tax is paid on time, as long as the Dahan survives for one day, we will guarantee your rights to mine, transport and sell in the name of the Dahan. This point is guaranteed by the Dasima Mansion and the Dasi Nong Mansion of my Han Dynasty for everyone! ”

"Well, it seems that everyone still trusts my reputation as a big man. So let's talk about the auction rules. There are a total of 35 salt farms that will be auctioned this time. The smallest number of products is ranked first, and the largest is of course at the back. No matter where you are a friend, as long as you take pictures of the salt works in Dahan, I will provide you with the mining technology of Zhuo Tube Well free of charge. Hehe, I think everyone who is interested in me knows that I have Zigong Salt Farm in Jiangyang County, Dahan, before there was no Zhuo Tube Well, there were only two salt wells in that place, and now? Three hundred salt wells! Therefore, this is also where my sincerity lies in the Han's sincerity to everyone! ”

"Then let's start the auction. The first salt farm, the Nuodeng Salt Farm in Bisu County, Yongchang County. There are five salt wells, and the daily salt output is 60 stones. There is an official road here that connects with Buwei County, where Yongchang County is located, and there are seven barbarian tribes around, all of which have settled down to farm. Therefore, there is still security. In addition, this place is close to the Lancang River, so the salt in this place is completely feasible if it is to be sold to Fuyu and Zhenla in the south. The starting price of the salt field here is 30 million. Each markup must not be less than one million. There is no cap on the markup. You can now call the price. ”

As soon as Mi Zhao's voice fell, someone immediately spoke: "Thirty million!" ”

There is no doubt that this is the childcare of the Renaissance Society.

But strictly speaking, this is not childcare, because Guan Yi's idea is that if no one really buys it, then the Fuxing Society will take it - this is a cash cow.

It's a pity that the people of this era just can't compare with the traverser in terms of knowledge, and if they really compare IQ, the traverser may not have an advantage. The way in this, people are clear!

Five salt wells, with a daily salt output of sixty. That year it was twenty-one thousand nine hundred stones. Sold at the price of 1,000 wen per stone, that is more than 20 million yuan. Well, there's 20 percent of the tax to be paid, and the cost of mining, boiling, transporting, selling, and so on. But in any case, the net profit of such a small salt mine is at least three million a year. It will be back to its roots in six or seven years.

What is the price of fertile land that can be grown with rice in this era? Generally, 10,000 yuan per acre. One acre of fertile land can only produce seven or eight stones of rice per year. The proceeds from the sale were only more than 1,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of labor and seeds, the payback time of one acre of fertile land is at least ten years. So for this alone, it is much more cost-effective to invest in the salt industry than to invest in fertile land. Not to mention that the amount of salt ore has the possibility of further increasing after obtaining the Zhuo Tube Well technology.

Therefore, when the people of the Fuxing Society shouted against the reserve price, a voice immediately sounded: "Thirty-one million!" ”

When this 31 million exit, Mi Zhao on the rostrum and Guan Yi in the private room on the second floor breathed a sigh of relief: This auction is done!

"Ge Laozi's 31 million wants to take away the salt mines of our Nanzhong people? Thirty-five million! ”

"What about you Nanzhong? Let you see the financial resources of my Jingzhou people! Million! ”

"MB, you have to go up with Lao Tzu, don't you? Lao Tzu Nanzhong Meng Yan! Forty-two million! ”

It's miserable, after Meng Yan blew up his identity this time, the other competitors stopped talking.

This is the Tu Emperor of Nanzhong, with more than 10,000 tribes under his command. There were thousands of private soldiers. You him off, how can you produce well in Nanzhong?

"Knock knock!" Mi Zhao knocked on the auction table angrily: "Meng Xiuming! Are you here to smash the field? ”

"Oops! Brother Bo Yao, I'm really sorry. Meng Yan, who had already realized that he had broken the rules of the auction house, also stood up at this time. With a fierce face on his back and a bear's waist, he tried his best to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, and said with a stupid (maybe murderous) smile: "We people in Nanzhong are bitter, obviously there is a salt farm next door, but we can't eat cheap salt." So there was a moment of indignation...... Hehe, the benevolent brother from Jingzhou just now, if you are interested, please continue to increase the price. I, Meng Yan, swear to the sky here, if you can't compete but let you get this Nuodeng Salt Farm, there will definitely be no damage to your production in the slightest. ”

Phew! It's a for you to say this at this time!

Sure enough, the Jingzhou people who were very temperamental just now waved their hands at this time: "Forget it, forget it, this salt farm is still too remote." Lao Tzu will rob Brazil County or Patong County later. The salt mines over there are more convenient. ”

"Hey, 42 million first, second, third! Knock~~~ Deal! ”

Seeing the success of the treacherous scheme, Meng Yan unconsciously smiled. Mi Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "Just now, the official didn't make his words clear, which made this black guy take advantage of the loophole." Before the auction of the next salt farm, the official added a stipulation that no bidder shall reveal his identity. Otherwise, be evicted! You don't have any objections, right? ”

"Dasi Nong's article is fair, and we have no objection."

"Good, next is the second salt farm. Baima Salt Farm, Wenshan County. The salt farm is built on a salt lake. There is no need to dig wells. The main thing that restricts its production is manpower and transportation. At present, the daily salt output of this salt farm is 100 stones. There are four Yiren cottages and three Qiang cottages near the salt farm, all of which have been settled for farming. So security is guaranteed...... The reserve price of this salt farm is 50 million, and you can make a bid. ”

What is the coolest salt mine in the inland salt mine? That's the salt lake, of course. Moreover, this salt lake is at the northern end of Wenshan County, and a little further up is Yinping County, which further north enters Liangzhou, which is controlled by Cao Wei. Therefore, this time, in addition to the local nobles of Shu Han, the local tyrants in Liangzhou couldn't bear it.

"Fifty-one million!"

"Hehehe, 51 million want to take away a salt lake? Five and a half million! ”

"Yikes! This accent is from Liangzhou! You Liangzhou people actually want to come and rob me of the salt lake in Yizhou? When I'm all dead in Yizhou? Sixty million! ”

"Hmph, I don't know if the people of Yizhou are dead or not. I only know that we Liangzhou people have decided this salt lake, 70 million! ”

"Hiss~~~ Are the people of Liangzhou very rich? Eighty million! ”

"MB, you Yizhou people do things, why are you so unhappy. One price, 100 million! ”

One hundred million! It's actually twice as much as the reserve price?!

The Yizhou people over there were silent. The whole venue only heard the arrogant laughter of the people of Liangzhou.

And Mi Zhao on the rostrum was also smiling at the moment: "Everyone, 100 million for the first time." 100 million for the second time. 100 million for the third time! Boom~~~ Congratulations to the brother in the fifteenth position, this salt lake is yours. ”

Not only Mi Zhao on the rostrum was smiling, but Guan Yi in the private room on the second floor was also smiling.

As the host of this auction, he is actually very aware of the heels of the bidders just now.

Within the Shu Han regime, the Yizhou faction, the Jingzhou faction, and the Dongzhou faction each formed three consortia to participate in the bidding. The one who had been biting with the Liangzhou man just now was the representative of the Yizhou faction. On Cao Wei's side, more people came. The one who just won the White Horse Salt Lake for 100 million yuan is the representative of the Hu family in Anding.

In addition, there are representatives of the Sima family, the Yingchuan consortium jointly composed of the Yingchuan Xun family, the Chen family, and the Zhong family, as well as the Hebei consortium composed of the Xin, Yin, and Cui clans of Hebei, and the Yang family of Hongnong.

There are more consortia on the side of Soochow, and the Huiji Consortium and the Wujun Consortium have not spoken at this time, and it is estimated that their eyes are aimed at the big mines behind. As for the consortium of Dongwu Jingzhou, hehe, at this time, the second leader of the first family in Dongwu Jingzhou will sit with him.
