Chapter 256: The Royal Mansion Auction

The second auction is the Qingwang Mansion, which is located in Yinchuan and also belongs to the border area. The actual value of Qingwangfu should be about the same as Suwangfu, but the location is slightly better than Suwangfu.

After the auction of the Su Wangfu, the auction of the Qingwang Mansion began from the beginning of the competition between the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants. This time, the reserve price was still 100,000 stones, but after only a dozen quotations, the price jumped to 500,000 stones, and after 500,000 stones, the competition was still fierce.

The next auction is still King Qing's field, and the auction price of the field is still unwavering. The only ones who are interested are the businessmen who often walk in Shaanxi.

Although Zhu Youxiao was already very satisfied with such a price, Zhu Youxiao felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in the price at this time, and Zhu Youxiao announced on the spot: "The grain in this auction can be paid off within three years, and only one-third of the price can be paid every year." Zhu Youxiao's decision did make the businessmen present feel a lot less pressure, and also made the next auction more intense.

The third auction of the Han Wangfu, the Han Wangfu is located in Pingliang Province. Both the location and scale of the Han Wangfu are more than the first two palaces, and the Han Wangfu makes Pingliang known as the "Ming Capital".

The auction price of Han Wangfu still starts at 100,000 stones. But this time Zhang Guoji joined the auction himself.

"Two hundred thousand stones." Jiang Yan made the first offer, and he directly doubled the price to show his determination to get the Han Wangfu.

"A million stones." Zhang Guoji then quoted. In fact, Zhang Guoji took a fancy to Fuwangfu, but he knew that once he participated in the auction, other businessmen would definitely not increase the price, he was afraid of causing Zhu Youxiao's dissatisfaction, so he retreated and chose to bid for Hanwangfu.

Zhang Guoji's offer really made other businessmen dare not offer, which also made Zhu Youxiao's face very ugly, Zhu Youxiao estimated that the auction price of Han Wangfu should be about 1.2 million stones.

When Zhang Guoji saw Zhu Youxiao's face, he knew that he had made Zhu Youxiao very unhappy, in fact, one million stone was already the highest price in his heart, and he was now also difficult to ride a tiger, and other businessmen did not dare to increase the price, and the scene was stalemate for a while.

"One million and three thousand stones." Zhang Guoji cried and stubbornly added 300,000 stones to himself again, which can be said to be his entire family property.

For this price, Zhu Youxiao smiled. In the past few years, Zhang Guoji has made a lot of money with Zhu Youxiao, and although 1.3 million stones made him feel pain, he could still afford it.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's expression, Zhang Guoji breathed a long sigh, it doesn't matter if the money is gone, it can still be earned, but if he offends Zhu Youxiao because of this matter, Zhu Youxiao will definitely take back the wealth he gave Zhang Guoji, and if he breaks his financial route, it can't be calculated with 500,000 stones.

The next auction was Han Wang's field, and the price of this auction was slightly higher than the price of the previous two fields.

The last palace to be auctioned is the Fu Wangfu. Among all the palaces, the Fuwang Mansion is incomparable to other palaces in terms of size and scale. Fuwang Mansion was expanded again on the basis of Yiwang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Fuwang Mansion covers an area of more than 23,000 square meters.

In order to build the Luoyang Mansion of King Fu, Mingshenzong approved 380,000 taels of silver. According to the palace building model, the Fuwang Mansion builds palace rooms and pavilions, small bridges and blue lakes, and gives hundreds of millions of treasures for its enjoyment and amusement. At that time, there was a saying that "the emperor consumes the world to fat the king, and the king of Luoyang Fu is rich in the emperor". Of course, after King Fu was captured, all the treasures of King Fu returned to the palace.

The starting price of Fuwangfu is still 100,000 stones. But the offer of Fuwangfu exceeded one million stones after five times.

"One million stones." Jiang Yan increased the price by 100,000 stones, and he was bound to get the Fu Wangfu this time, this is the last palace.

"One hundred and fifty thousand stones." As soon as Jiang Yan's words fell, a Jin merchant immediately quoted.

The last palace seems to have become a battlefield for both sides, and the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants did not give in to each other. The price climbed all the way and soon exceeded 1.5 million stones. Now the price of rice is eight coins and one stone, which is slightly lower than the price of rice in this period in history, but the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River is lower, but to be transported to Shaanxi, the price of rice will almost reach six or seven dollars and one stone, and the price of one hundred and fifty stones of grain is more than 900,000 taels, and the price of Fuwangfu is about 400,000 to 500,000 taels at most, and the current quotation is twice the actual value of Fuwangfu.

But the price of King Fu's mansion still has no tendency to stop, "1,650,000 stones." Jiang Yan glanced at the other Hui businessmen, and the other Hui businessmen all nodded and expressed their support for Jiang Yan. The Han Wangfu has sold one hundred and fifty stones, and the Fu Wangfu Mansion will definitely surpass the Han Wangfu.

"One million and seven hundred thousand stones." The Jin merchants, on their part, were not to be outdone.

Zhu Youxiao's series of economic policies and active expansion policies obviously made the merchants of this time and space more powerful than those merchants in history, so to speak, Jiang Yan, although the profits of the salt industry have decreased, but through cement and other investments, his capital has increased by at least 30% compared with the same period in history.

"Two million stones." Jiang Yan shouted a sky-high price. Of course, at the time of the first palace auction, it was already a sky-high price.

Two million stones is already the limit, and it is the limit of almost all businessmen's psychology, and it also makes it impossible for the two sides to stalemate any longer. The final transaction price of the Fuwang Mansion fell on two million stones. Hui Shang laughed at the end, this is also a true portrayal of the strength of the two sides, Jin Shang missed a year or two of development after the eight Jin Shang collaborating with the enemy, and was slightly inferior to Hui Shang in strength.

The last auction was the field of King Fuku. After King Fu was captured, Zhu Youxiao obtained more than 45,000 tons of fertile land from King Fu, which were distributed in Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Guangdong and other four provinces. Compared with the fields of the other three anti-kings, Fuwang's fields are still worth investing in, making the transaction price of Fuwang's fields the highest today.

"Through today's auction, I deeply feel that all of you are loyal and patriotic, and I am very grateful. In order to show its support for you, the Imperial Bank has decided to introduce a new storage system for the people, and all money deposited in the Imperial Bank will receive an interest rate of 5 cents per month, and the people who are in urgent need of money turnover will apply for loans from the Imperial Bank, and the interest on the loan will be as low as 2 cents per month. Of course, from the Imperial Bank, it is necessary to provide collateral, and the specific regulations will be introduced before the summer grain is listed. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
