Yang Qi pretended to look at them deeply and asked, "You also know that before this, Kunpeng has always been something that only appears in books. No one has ever hunted a Kunpeng, let alone obtained a Kunpeng's bones.

Looking through the history books, there is no trace, let alone pricing.

So for a moment, it's hard for me to put a price on this Kunpeng's skeleton.

It's better to let you bid, and if I'm satisfied, the deal will be finalized.

What do you think? ”

"This ......"

When the businessmen heard this, they glanced at each other, and secretly gave Yang Qi a thumbs up in their hearts.

Yang Qi's seemingly humble words successfully handed over the power of bidding to the merchants and asked them to bid against each other.

With an open bidding, there is no way to take advantage of the loopholes and play tricks, so you can only rely on the real money in your hands to compete for the bones of Kunpeng.

There is no room for opportunism.

Not to mention inflating prices.

On the territory of this Yan Kingdom, if you dare to falsely report the price with Yang Qi, and play with Yang Qi with a false shot, the end will not be too good.

Don't look at Yang Qi and be kind, everyone here has known Yang Qi's past and knows how many lives Yang Qi has in his hands.

The merchant of Liao State obviously did not have the temperament to sit down patiently, and he took the lead in bidding, "The lord of the country, I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold to ask for this Kunpeng skeleton." ”

"Puff~"

When the merchant of the Song Kingdom heard this, he showed a sarcastic smile, and he said: "Ten thousand taels of gold is not enough to sell a Kunpeng leg......

After saying this, the merchant of the Song Kingdom arrogantly offered a price: "I am willing to pay 500,000 taels of gold!" ”

"Hiss~"

"Wow~"

As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp of cold air, and a group of businessmen were in an uproar on the spot.

That's a lot of money!

500,000 taels of gold, some of these people here have never seen so much gold in their lives.

The merchants of the Song Kingdom opened their mouths and shocked a large number of people at once.

Some businessmen with poor strength immediately chose to give up.

The merchant of Yan Kingdom pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Six hundred thousand taels of gold......"

The merchant of Liao State glared at his eyes and shouted, "Sixty ...... 10,000 taels of gold ......"

The merchant of the Song Kingdom glanced at the merchant of the Liao Kingdom with contempt, then looked at the merchant of the Yan State defiantly, and said, "Seven hundred thousand taels of gold......

"Puff~"

The Liao merchant slumped into his chair.

700,000 taels of gold, even if his master empties his family, he can't make it up.

In the end, the merchants of the Song Kingdom and the merchants of the Yan Kingdom were left to compete.

The price of Kunpeng's skeleton soared all the way under the coaxing of the two.

Yang Qi just looked at their offers, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it is the tradition of the Chinese people not to show their wealth.

The people are far richer than the state.

For example, in the Great Song Dynasty, the poor in the Great Song Dynasty couldn't even pay back Yang Qi's foreign debts, but the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty easily raised the price of Kunpeng's skeleton to one million taels of gold.

What does this mean?

It shows that people still have room to spare.

One million taels of gold, comparable to the five-year tax of the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be seen that the rich can rival the country in ancient times was not an empty word.

Yang Qi guessed that there was very likely to be a business group behind this person, so he could come up with so much money.

The reason why this person bid so generously was because of the anti-heaven effect of the Kunpeng skeleton, otherwise he would never be so generous.

After all, the efficacy of the rumored Kunpeng skeleton is almost comparable to the elixir.

If Zhao Defang or Xiao Zuo saw this scene, it is estimated that there will be several massacres soon.

As the two coaxed each other.

The price of Kunpeng's skeleton was finally raised to 1.2 million taels of gold.

It was the Song merchants who made the bid.

Obviously, after the price exceeded one million taels of gold, he also began to have a pain in his flesh.

But in comparison, it is far stronger than the face of the merchants of the Yan Kingdom.

Seeing that the dust had settled, the merchants of the Song Kingdom breathed a sigh of pain and comfort, and then looked at Yang Qi with an ugly smile, and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, after our competition, we finally won the next one, one and two hundred thousand taels of gold, I believe that no one here can pay a higher price than the one who is below." So this Kunpeng skeleton ......"

"Wait a minute!"

Before the Song merchant finished speaking, he saw a young man dressed as a scholar enter the hall.

That loud 'Wait a minute' was what he shouted.

Seeing that the skeleton of Kunpeng was about to fall into his hands, he suddenly killed a Cheng biting gold halfway, which made the smile on the face of the Song merchant freeze, he looked at the young man dressed as a scholar without smiling, and asked in a cold voice: "Who is Your Excellency, what is the purpose of suddenly interrupting my words?" ”

The young scholar shook a jade fracture fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "The reason for blocking the opening is naturally because I think the price you paid is not enough to buy the Kunpeng skeleton."

What is Kunpeng?

As we all know, it was an ancient artifact.

Eating meat and gnawing bones can not only prolong life, but also rejuvenate.

But that's the role of the kun.

Kunpeng Kunpeng is two things, not one.

Kun negative water, Peng spread its wings. ”

After a pause, the young scholar arched his hand to everyone and continued: "I also came here to buy this Kunpeng skeleton, but before entering the door, I specially went back to look at the Kunpeng skeleton.

This look made him discover a secret. ”

"What's the secret?"

Someone immediately asked.

The merchants of the Song Kingdom looked at him coldly, wanting to see what he could say.

The young scholar smiled: "On the two wings of the Kunpeng skeleton, two horizontal bones were found......

The merchant of the Song Kingdom sneered: "What does this mean? ”

The young scholar folded the fan in his hand, pointed at the Song merchant and said with a smile: "This is your loneliness." The wings are born and the horizontal bones are naturally a sign of the Kunhua Peng.

If I remember correctly, it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the ancient Peng bird fed on dragons......"

"Wow~"

There was an uproar in the audience.

The Song State merchant's face was gloomy and could drip blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Ancient Peng Bird feeds on dragons, so we naturally know this...... Even so, the skeleton on the outside is still a kun bone, not a peng bone. ”

The young scholar shook the folding fan in his hand and said with emotion: "This is not so easy for Kun Huapeng. Since it has given birth to a horizontal bone, it means that it has begun to transform into a peng and wants to soar for nine days.

Eat the dragon naturally ......"

"Phew!"

The merchant of the Song Kingdom didn't care about the occasion and took a bite directly.

After the young scholar's explanation, everyone naturally knew the price of the Kunpeng skeleton, and I was afraid that it would have to be raised.

Seeing that the things that were about to arrive, he was forcibly disturbed by the young scholar, and he couldn't be angry.

"Clever tongue!"

The merchant of the Song Kingdom scolded, and said with a hideous face: "If you really come to buy this Kunpeng skeleton, just bid." What's the use of saying so much with clever tongues.

What's the use of you talking about that Kunpeng skeleton and can't get real money. ”

The young scholar nodded, and said with a straight face: "Since this brother has spoken, then he will barely offer a price." ”

Glancing around the crowd, the young scholar spat out a number that stunned everyone.

"Five million taels of gold, what do you think?"

"Wow!"

Everyone present heard this number, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.

Five million taels of gold!

That's an astronomical amount, armed into an army, enough to trample the Song State once.

When the merchants of the Song Kingdom heard this, not only were they not shocked, but they said with an annoyed face: "It's nonsense. I have been in business for many years, and have traveled to 16 countries, and I have never heard of anyone who can get so much money.

You are actually deceiving us here, and the most important thing is that you dare to deceive His Royal Highness King Yan.

Don't you know how dead words are written? ”

After saying this, the merchant of the Song Kingdom arched his hand to Yang Qi and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, this person is open-mouthed, full of nonsense, and deceives you. I implore His Royal Highness King Yan to take down this wing, and under Miki, he will definitely be able to uncover the true face of this liar. ”

"Wait!"

The young scholar lifted the folding fan and sneered: "You have never seen someone with so much money, it doesn't mean that no one in this world can have so much money." ”

The young scholar bowed his hand to Yang Qi and said, "As far as I know, the Nanguo Qian Bank under the rule of the Yan Kingdom can extract five million taels of gold. Am I right? ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Qi.

Yang Qi nodded helplessly, and said lightly: "I can barely make up ......"

The merchant of the Song Kingdom said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Yan can withdraw five million taels of gold, that is the money of His Royal Highness King Yan, what does it have to do with you?" I wonder if you can come up with that much money? ”

The young scholar spread his hands, "Why not?" ”

The young scholar paused, and said proudly: "When I was young, I traveled overseas with my grandfather and my father, and found a country in the west, called the Peacock Kingdom, which can be said to be full of gold.

In their royal city, it is paved with gold, stretching for hundreds of miles.

My grandfather and my father worked diligently, relying on their skills, and worked hard for two generations, and now they can be regarded as accomplished and saved a lot of money.

Among them, there are tens of millions of taels of gold, not counting other jewelry and jade......"

"Fart!"

The merchants of the Song Kingdom couldn't hold back any longer and scolded on the spot.

"If there really is such a place in the world, how can it be cheaper for you? I'm afraid it has been emptied a long time ago. Can't you make up a story more reliably?

And gold everywhere? Are you all fools here? ”

The young scholar glanced at the merchants of the Song Kingdom with a smile, and arched his hand to Yang Qi: "Does the Lord of the Yan Kingdom know about the Peacock Dynasty?" ”

"Ahem~"

Yang Qi coughed dryly, and then nodded slowly under the gaze of everyone, "I have heard a little......

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

They looked at the young scholar, and then at Yang Qi, with a stunned expression.

There was no doubt that they thought that this young scholar was very likely to be Yang Qi's trust.

Yang Qi was a little uncomfortable by everyone's strange eyes, he coughed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't misunderstand, I don't know this person. When it comes to the Mauryan Dynasty, the reason why I say that I have heard a little is true. ”

After a pause, Yang Qi looked at everyone and asked, "Now there are Buddhist homes everywhere and temples are numerous. But do you know where Buddhism originated? ”

The merchants, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads one after another.

Only one person spoke up: "Buddhism originated from Western ......"

Yang Qi nodded and said, "Yes, Buddhism originated from the West. Where is Buddhism in the West? Right in the Mauryan Dynasty. The reason why I heard a little bit about it is because I once saw a book called "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

This book is about what the Tang Dynasty's holy monk Xuanzang saw and heard when he traveled west, including a record of the Peacock Dynasty.

If you don't believe it, when you go back, ask one or two Buddhist disciples, and you will understand. ”

Hearing Yang Qi's explanation, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

The young scholar glanced at the merchant of the Song Kingdom with a smile.

The merchant of the Song Kingdom snorted coldly, but he didn't trouble the young scholar anymore.

Just lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

Yang Qi slowly got up and said, "Today, everyone is competing for the Kunpeng Skeleton, and they are bidding one after another, with this merchant from the Peacock Dynasty bidding the highest. However, I have no intention of selling the Kunpeng skeleton today.

As businessmen, you understand what it means to maximize the value of an item.

Less than three days after the Kunpeng skeleton landed, the merchant who had received some news but was still on the way.

In order not to disappoint everyone, I decided to set the date for the sale of the Kunpeng skeleton to be a month from now.

In a month's time, it is believed that most of the merchants who have traveled far away should be able to arrive here.

You also have an extra month to prepare.

That's when the real competition comes in. ”

"Papapa~"

Yang Qi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone go down and prepare." Chen Lin, send off! ”

Among the businessmen, some people heard Yang Qi's words and felt a hint of joy.

They bowed in unison and said, "Your Majesty (Your Highness) is wise. ”

At this time, no one suspected that the young scholar was Yang Qi's trust.

After saluting Yang Qi, the merchant of the Song Kingdom sneered at the young scholar, then flicked his sleeves and floated away.

Chen Lin sent everyone away and returned to the hall, waiting for the dispatch.

Yang Qi drank tea slowly.

About half an hour passed.

The young scholar reappeared in front of Yang Qi's eyes, "Minister Liu Kaipin, see Your Majesty." ”

Obviously, the young scholar Liu Kaipin is the trust arranged by Yang Qi.

Now that the Kunpeng skeleton is a strange commodity to live in, how can Yang Qi make a move easily.

The reason why Yang Qi asked those merchants to negotiate the price was to more intuitively figure out the value of Kunpeng's bones.

"Get up."

Yang Qi glanced at him and said lightly.

After Liu Kaipin stood up straight, Yang Qicai opened his mouth and said with emotion: "The acting skills are too poor, and I still need to hone in the future." ”

Liu Kaipin said in horror: "The minister has been taught." ”

Yang Qi nodded and said, "I heard that after you graduated from the Fuxing Martial Academy, you went to the southern country. Peng Pai complained in front of me for a long time, saying that a good talent was stuffed into the south and ruined.

What do you think of it yourself? ”

Liu Kaipin said seriously: "The minister didn't feel ruined. The minister was in the southern country, and he learned a lot from Su Zai's assistant administration. The people of the south are simple and simple, far stronger than those of the Song and Liao countries. ”

Yang Qi nodded with satisfaction, and after letting Liu Kaipin sit down, he asked again, "How is the grain production in the south?" Is Su Yijian okay? ”

Liu Kaipin said: "This season's rice can be harvested in half a month. With the agricultural tools issued by the imperial court and the diligence of the people, this season's rice harvest will surely be abundant. It's just that after the harvest, it will take two months to transport it to Yan Kingdom.

As for Su Jae-fu......"

Speaking of this, Liu Kaipin paused and said with a wry smile: "Su Zai's auxiliary political ability is impeccable, but his addiction to alcohol can't be changed." A few days ago, I drank two more cups of greedy cups, and I coughed dryly and coughed up a lot of blood.

If Your Majesty communicates with Su Jaefu, please advise him......"

Yang Qi was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It is Su Yijian's nature to be addicted to alcohol, otherwise it would not have become a wonderful flower recorded in the history books.

The drunken prime minister, other than that, there is no semicolon.

After smiling bitterly, Yang Qi sighed with emotion: "If persuasion is useful, I would have persuaded it a long time ago." It seems that he has to find someone to tell him to limit the amount of alcohol he drinks. I'll take care of that.

The grain from the south will not arrive until two months later, and the people of Yan may not be able to wait for two months.

It seems that the skeleton of this Kunpeng can only be used for food.

I am afraid that there is only one family that can take out a large amount of grain in exchange for the skeleton of Kunpeng. ”

"Which one?"
