Chapter 0779: Food Shortage Is Just a Joke

Three days later.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sky is clear.

The grand event of selling the bones of Kunpeng was held as scheduled.

The front of the Southern Assembly Hall was full of people.

However, very few people were able to enter the South Diet Hall.

Although the Southern Assembly Hall occupies a large area, it cannot accommodate nearly 10,000 businessmen from all over the world.

So Kou Zhun set up a threshold at the entrance of the Southern Congress Hall.

Only merchants who hold the 10,000 gold ticket stubs of the Southern Money Bank are eligible to enter.

This threshold has blocked a large number of people.

Even so, the merchants who gathered outside the Southern Congress Hall were reluctant to leave for a long time.

Encountering such a grand event, although they were not qualified to participate, they also wanted to know who bought the Kunpeng skeleton at the first time.

Inside the Southern Congress Building.

Inside and outside the hall, it's like two worlds.

Outside the hall was full of people, but inside the hall seemed quiet, occasionally people gathered together to whisper, and some people pulled the waiters to talk, asking about everything in the Southern Congress Hall that made him feel novel.

Although the threshold for entering the South Congress Hall is very high, there are still many people entering the hall.

The seats in the main building on the third floor of the hall were full.

The people of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism were arranged in the most conspicuous atrium on the third floor.

Zen Master Huiming was greedy for the liquor on the table, and talked to Chen Qian with a smile.

Chen Jian was also smiling and returning to the camp.

But if you listen closely to what they mean, you can hear the obvious hostility.

And as the organizer of this grand event.

Yang Qi.

He sat in a wing room in the corner of the third floor.

Although the location is remote, you can see everything in the Southern Congress Building.

In the lobby on the first floor, there is a high platform that can be seen by everyone on the three floors.

On the high platform, it was draped in red and hung with colors, looking extraordinarily festive.

Behind the high platform, a huge black letter on a red background hangs.

Kun!

The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, quite imposing.

Some businessmen who are knowledgeable about goods, after getting started, have their eyes on this huge kunzi.

"Knock knock~"

The light drum beat suddenly sounded.

Got everyone's attention.

Kou Zhun dressed in green clothes, stepped on the drum, and slowly jumped onto the high platform.

Although it was the first time to host such a grand event, Kou Zhun was not afraid of life at all.

He arched his hand in all directions, and said loudly: "Contemptible Kou Zhun, added to the southern country, you all know me, and some don't know me." But that doesn't stop you from selling.

At the request of our country's president, this event adheres to the principles of justice, fairness and openness.

Everything is based on goods and money, and transactions are above board. ”

"Good!"

If you like to join in the fun, you can applaud directly.

Then he saw that everyone looked at him like fools, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Before the sale begins, please enjoy a song and dance." ”

As soon as the words landed, someone shouted dissatisfiedly: "We are here to buy the skeleton of Kunpeng, not to come to sing and dance." Quickly quote the price of the Kunpeng skeleton. ”

Kou Zhun looked at him with a smile, "Who are you?" ”

The man got up slowly, patted his chest and said, "Liaoren! ”

Kou Zhun put away the smile on his face and snorted coldly, "This is Yan Guo." When you arrive in Yan Kingdom, you should abide by the rules of my Yan Kingdom. No one is exempt. ”

"Come on, fork out this troublemaker."

seems to be an ordinary scene, but it makes people see the confidence and toughness of a country.

If this is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the organizers will only laugh at it.

Some people with ill intentions looked a little solemn when they saw this scene.

Solved this hiccup.

A cabaret show kicked off.

The merchants in the guild hall ate and drank, and enjoyed singing and dancing.

Half an hour later.

All the singing and dancing is over.

Kou Zhun returned to the stage.

Seeing Kou Zhun again, everyone also realized that the main event was coming.

Subconsciously, everyone's breathing was a little heavier.

Kou Zhun stood on the high platform and said with a smile: "You have come thousands of miles to my Yan Kingdom this time for the Kunpeng skeleton that Your Majesty has killed. However, this Kunpeng skeleton is not an extraordinary thing, and it is too monotonous to sell alone, and it also wastes this grand event.

Therefore, before selling the Kunpeng skeleton, I will first use some treasures and specialties of my Yan Kingdom to warm up the scene. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Kou Zhun stroked his palm, and a messenger carried a huge blood coral and slowly ascended to the high platform.

Coral was a treasure trove in ancient times, and blood coral was one of the best.

It seems that this huge blood coral that has been lifted up to the platform is enough to be called a rare treasure.

The businessmen thought that this grand event was for the bones of Kunpeng, but they did not expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

Some of the merchants who came in to see the bustle lit up their eyes the moment they saw Blood Coral.

In fact, as the organizer of this grand event.

At the beginning of this event, Yang Qi had the idea of selling other items.

The Kunpeng skeleton has been copied to a sky-high price.

There are very few people who can afford the skeleton of a Kunpeng.

Most of the people still came in and joined in the fun.

But the people who can enter the Southern Congress Hall to join in the fun are not ordinary people.

It's hard to get such a bunch of rich people together and don't take the opportunity to make a wave, it's stupid.

The sale is somewhat similar to the auction of later generations.

It's just that the rules are a little different, and the others are pretty much the same.

Under the auspices of Kou Zhun, some of the treasures obtained from the ocean were sold one by one, and one by one the silver coins were pocketed by Yang Qi.

And the sale in the South Congress Hall can also be said to be full of tricks.

Not only were the treasures auctioned, but even the supply rights of some of the commodities that Yan Kingdom now continued to sell were also added to the sale.

The businessmen who came in to join in the fun could be said to be ecstatic.

Yang Qi has a high reputation among businessmen.

Therefore, many merchants were willing to do business with the Yan court.

Doing business with a country, doing business with a country that keeps promises, that's no different from making money.

Yan Guo is now in ruins, and there are many commodities needed, and many people have sharpened their heads and want to insert themselves into business, but they have not been able to find an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity is in front of them, how could they miss it.

The Southern Congress Hall, which was originally quiet, burst into unprecedented enthusiasm at this moment.

Kou Zhun watched the items in his hand sell at a high price, and he was full of emotion.

He felt that it was necessary to suggest to Yang Qi that this kind of event be maintained for a long time.

Just two hours.

Nearly a million gold coins have already been credited to the account.

This selling event is simply a money grab.

And it's the kind that others are vying to give to you.

Of course, although the sale event was enthusiastic, those who came for the Kunpeng skeleton did not say anything from beginning to end.

The atrium of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism is even more lifeless.

As the sale draws to a close.

Everyone also realized that the main event was coming.

Kou Zhun stood on the high platform and solemnly bowed his hand to the Quartet, "The sale is coming to an end, and our main event, the sale of Kunpeng's bones, will officially begin." Before I do that, I must remind you.

This time, we only need food, not gold and silver.

Grain was used instead of gold and silver, and the bones of Kunpeng were sold. ”

"Wow~"

For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.

Some people shouted angrily: "Why don't you remind me to wait sooner, we have only prepared gold and silver, and have not raised food." Now that I am suddenly trading for grain, let me wait there to raise food now. ”

"Before you started selling, you said that this time you upheld justice and fairness, why did you suddenly change the rules. Backtracking, is this what your Yan Kingdom calls fairness and justice? ”

“……”

Doubts arose, but Kou Zhun did not panic at all.

He looked at the merchants calmly and said lightly, "Everyone, I think you should know the value of the Kunpeng skeleton very well. If it weren't for the food shortage in our Yan country this time, Your Majesty cares about the people and doesn't want to see the people starving, how would he take out this Kunpeng skeleton and sell it?

Gold, silver and jewelry, I have no shortage in Yan country.

My Yan country is short of food.

Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, and for the livelihood of the people, he is willing to give up such a heavy treasure as Kunpeng's bones.

What's wrong with letting you sell grain? ”

There are still doubts, but not as many as they just now.

Kou Zhun looked at the merchants and said, "Although I didn't inform you in advance, I didn't ask you to deliver the grain today. Today, the family swooped down on the skeleton of the Kunpeng and had a month to raise and transport food. ”

I heard Kou Zhun say that he had a month to raise and transport food.

The businessmen's skepticism was much quieter.

After all the doubts disappeared, Kou Zhun pointed to the huge Kun character behind him and said, "Due to the huge size of the Kunpeng skeleton, it is impossible to move here. So for the time being, it will be replaced by this kun character. ”

Before the merchants could raise their doubts, Kou Zhun continued: "This Kun character is written by His Majesty of our country and represents the will of His Majesty of our country. ”

When the merchants, who were about to question this, heard this, they swallowed back the words that came to their lips.

"So...... Now, the sale of Kunpeng bones has officially begun. ”

Kou Zhun shouted this sentence loudly.

However, as soon as this statement came out.

The Southern Congress Hall was silent, and no one shouted.

This scene lasted for a quarter of an hour.

In the wing room in the corner of the third floor, Peng Pai saw this sentence, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, they fought for me before, so they don't speak at this time." This Kunpeng skeleton can't be sold, right? ”

Behind Peng Pai, Yang Qi sat leisurely on the soft couch, half sideways, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, savoring it carefully.

Hearing Peng Pai's words, Yang Qi smiled slightly: "What are you anxious about, the things next to you may not be sold, but this Kunpeng skeleton will definitely be sold today."

The reason why no one has shouted until now is because they are all waiting. ”

"What are you waiting for......"

"Wait for someone to give it a floor price...... It's like the first staircase up the stairs. There must always be a step at the bottom of the ladder so that people have the opportunity to stand on a higher place.

As for the real buyers, I'm afraid they won't shout until the end......"

Yang Qi's words were quickly confirmed.

After Yang Qigang explained to Peng Pai the reason why no one bid, someone in the hall on the first floor shouted a price.

"Two million quintals of grain!"

“……”

Someone made a stepping stone at the beginning, and those merchants who came for the skeleton of Kunpeng naturally bid one after another.

“……”

"Five million quintals of grain!"

“……”

"Eight million quintals of grain!"

“……”

The price of Kunpeng skeletons has skyrocketed.

It's fast, it's overwhelming.

Since someone bid, in just one stick of incense, the price of Kunpeng's skeleton has soared to nine million quintals.

However, during this period, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism remained silent.

"Ten million quintals!"

The merchant of the Song Kingdom, who had seen Yang Qi before, called the price of Kunpeng's skeleton to 10 million quintals of grain in one go.

He stubbornly called the price to another level.

The price rose to 10 million quintals of grain.

The number of bidders is 90% less at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

And every price increase is not as strong as before.

"One thousand and three hundred thousand quintals!"

“……”

"11,100,000 quintals!"

“……”

From a million quintals, it has dropped to only 100,000 quintals per outcry.

Yang Qi in the wing room, seeing this scene, subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Food shortage, food shortage!

Under this scene, it became a joke.

Song, Yan, Liao, and the three kingdoms were all short of food.

But looking at the strength of these merchants' bargaining, it doesn't look like a shortage of food at all.

However, Yang Qi spent money to buy grain before, but he couldn't buy food.

Yang Qi is sure.

These merchants, who hold large sums of grain in their hands, all have the idea of strange goods.

They should be waiting.

Wait for the people to be willing to exchange everything for food, and then take out the food.

Then take the opportunity to make a shocking profit.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Kunpeng skeleton.

I'm afraid that Yang Qi will also fall into their prey.

It is no wonder that all dynasties have not had a very good attitude towards merchants.

Even Yang Qi, who had the thoughts of the future, had a trace of murderous intent at this moment.

Looking at the merchants bidding in the guild hall.

Yang Qi suddenly remembered the current affairs of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty attached great importance to commerce, and under his hard work, commerce in the Southern Tang Dynasty was very prosperous.

It can be said that among the entire five dynasties, the Southern Tang Dynasty is the richest country.

is the richest country, after Li Yu ascended the throne, the treasury can run mice.

forced Li Yu, the talented emperor, to listen to slander for pleasure, expropriated violently, and even minted sand money that could float on the water.

This ultimately led to the defeat of the country.

And what about the money of the prosperous Southern Tang?

It's all in the hands of merchants.

Cao Bin told Yang Qi at the beginning that when he invaded Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the money he looted could cover the entire Bianjing City.

Yang Qi laughed at the time and didn't believe it.

Now he believes.

The price of the Kunpeng skeleton was finally fixed at 13 million quintals of grain.

The one who called out this price was still the Song businessman.

During this period, the two Buddhist and Taoist families on the third floor still did not speak.

"Thirteen million quintals of grain! Has anyone else increased the price? ”

At this moment, Kou Zhun and Yang Qi standing on the high platform had the same thoughts.

Kou Zhun was eager to lead his troops into the Great Song Dynasty, slaughtered the entire family of this Song merchant, and then robbed them of food to relieve the people.

But he still had a smile on his face and a kind face.

"Has anyone else raised the price? If not, the Kunpeng skeleton will be ......"

"Fourteen million quintals!"

In the middle hall where the two Buddhist roads are located on the third floor, someone finally spoke.

Hearing this shout, Yang Qi's narrowed eyes slowly opened, and then he half-lay down on the soft couch again.

Yang Qiqu tapped his fingers on the handrail beside the couch, and calmly instructed Peng Pai: "Pass on my order, and the number of temples and Taoist temples in all the temples and Taoist temples of the two families in Nanguo and Yan Kingdom will be reduced by one percent.

In addition, the fields owned by the temple and Taoist temple shall not exceed two acres per person.

This article is a permanent rule.

From now on, whoever is in charge of the Yan Kingdom or the Southern Kingdom of my Yang family, whoever dares to change this article, the descendants of the Yang family in the world can fight together. ”

Peng Pai was shocked by Yang Qi's last sentence.

He looked at Yang Qi dumbfounded, and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty ......"

Peng Pai really wants to say, are you crazy?

But it didn't come out after all.

The founding emperors of all dynasties had the habit of making permanent rules.

And this habit has also become the biggest difficulty in the reform of the maladministration of future generations.

As a later generation who is familiar with history books, he naturally understands this problem.

Therefore, when formulating the laws of the Yan Kingdom, Yang Qi once inscribed a sentence on it, 'All laws that do not conform to the truth can be changed after the court discussion'.

But this time, why did Yang Qi go against the norm?
