"Fifty taels." With the title of Oiran alone, there were immediately bids.

"I've said that the highest-ranking Oiran is called Taifu, what kind of rank is this?" Someone asked Xu Xinsudao.

"This Oiran is from Tsurumaru Castle and belongs to the lattice level, and it is said that Taifu is only available in three places: Edo, Osaka, and Yoshiwara. But even so, it is not easier to become an Oiran in one place than in the Empire, and Oiran has to learn many high-end etiquette and performing arts, including classical calligraphy, tea ceremony, dance, musical instruments, waka, and Go, and to meet Oiran, if it is a merchant like us, even if we go to Toei, we may not be able to see it. "Xu Xinsu is a pirate himself, and he knows Dongying better than others.

"Boss Xu, how do you say this?" Someone asked curiously.

"Oiran generally only waits for dignitaries, if it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to see even if you have a lot of wealth, even if you are willing to spend thousands of taels in the end, you may not be able to see it, to see the Oiran, but there are layers of assessment, not only to have money, but also to get the approval of the bustard and the Oiran himself." Xu Xinsu explained.

In a moment when they spoke, the price had risen to five hundred taels.

"Six hundred taels." Hearing Xu Xinsu's explanation, some people were already moved and began to raise prices sharply. At this time, the price of the redemption of a famous prostitute in Goolan Courtyard was casually in the thousands of taels. According to records, the price of redeeming Dong Xiaowan at the end of the Ming Dynasty was three thousand taels, which was still the price of related households.

"Seven hundred taels."

……

In the end, the first Oiran Tamako was sold for one thousand and one hundred taels. The first Oiran was sold for 1,100 taels, which made the next four Oiran sold for 800 taels, and the highest for 1,300 taels, of course, this was the transaction price of the last Oiran.

After the auction, the next thing to sell was a batch of female slaves with a slightly younger grade, and the price of these female slaves ranged from one or two to dozens of taels.

After two hours, Xu Xinsu sold a total of 220 female slaves.

"Boss Xu, what good goods are there tomorrow?" Someone asked intently.

"Of course, there will be a batch of new auctions tomorrow?" Xu Xinsu was also very satisfied with the results of today's sale, although only more than 200 female slaves were sold, and a large number of female slaves were not sold, but the auction price of the Oiran had already reached expectations.

"New? What is a new creation? Someone asked.

"It's the same as the little lady raised by the grandmother of Goolan Courtyard (the meaning of the old bustard, the name of the Jiangnan generation in the late Ming Dynasty), but the chick has not been combed for the time being." Xu Xinsu replied with a smile.

"Then it's worth coming back tomorrow." Someone laughed.

……

On the first day, everyone was unfamiliar with the process and had all kinds of doubts, but the second day was different, there were obviously more people coming than on the first day, and the speed of sales was faster than on the first day.

One hundred and eighty slave girls were sold in one hour. Although the auction speed of the new production is faster than yesterday, the number of new products is more than that of the oiran, and the time taken is even longer than yesterday, and the appearance is also uneven, and the price gap is also very large, the lowest one is sold for ten taels, and the high one is sold for six hundred and thirty taels.

The next day, in two hours, only 220 slave girls were sold.

As time went by, Xu Xinsu's female slave trade became more and more influential, and more and more people participated, and Goolan Yuan also joined it, all of which made the price also begin to rise, and some noble-born female slaves, or high-quality female slaves, were priced at hundreds of taels at every turn.

Xu Xinsu's slave trade lasted for nearly two months to complete, and Yan Siqi received a total of more than 200,000 taels of silver through this slave trade, not including the tens of thousands of taels of commissions Xu Xinsu received.

For the first time, Xu Xinsu experienced the huge profits brought by the slave trade, which was simply a lucrative thing, and this profession seemed to be more promising than his work as a pirate. It's just that he doesn't dare to sell the Ming people, in his heart Zhu Youxiao is a very murderous person, of course, not only in Xu Xinsu's heart, but in the hearts of many people, Zhu Youxiao is a very murderous person. Xu Xinsu knew that if Zhu Youxiao noticed this, he would lose his head at the least, and at worst, he would not want to run away from one of the three clans.

Xu Xinsu's eyes naturally turned to the surrounding countries, but now that he is unarmed, the only force that he may use is the group of pirates who are now entrenched in the Satsuma Domain. He began to encourage Yan Siqi to start the next war.

It's just that now Yan Siqi is on duty in Edo.

The so-called attendance account is a system invented by the Tokugawa shogunate, which simply means that the daimyo in each region must come to Edo, the shogunate's seat of governance, from their own territory at a specified time every year, and live in Edo for a few months to help the shogun deal with some government affairs, which is called attendance; After the work is completed, you must return to your territory at the specified time and prepare to do it again the next year, which is called confession.

As a new daimyo, Yan Siqi had to go to Edo to explain as soon as he took office. It was also an opportunity for him to show his loyalty. What's more, he doesn't have the strength to fight the next battle now. Money was needed to fight a war, and the capture of the Satsuma Domain consumed almost seventy percent of his material reserves.

……

When Xu Xinsu was selling female slaves on a large scale, on October 15, the investment promotion conference of Fengqiu Huang was officially held at the Royal Academy of Arts. The hosts of this investment promotion are Maria and Marta, and this investment promotion is mainly to promote the model of franchise stores.

According to Zhu Youxiao's opinion, Xiaoxiao combined with the actual situation of Daming to formulate a series of rules and regulations for the franchise store.

According to the rules and regulations of the franchise store, according to the different levels of the city, the franchise fee and the deposit are not the same, the provincial government is the highest franchise fee and deposit, the franchise fee and the deposit are five hundred taels a year, and Fengqiu Huang will personally send the store manager to assist in the operation, while stabilizing the price system; The franchise fee and deposit of other state capitals are two hundred taels, and this level of Fengqiuhuang will not send a store manager for the time being; At the county level, the franchise fee and security deposit only need fifty taels.

Zhu Youxiao originally planned to start with 1,000 taels, but considering the profits from garment sales and other factors, Zhu Youxiao took the initiative to reduce the franchise fee and margin.

Fengqiuhuang also promised to determine the number of Fengqiuhuang in each state capital according to the number of people in various places, and would never blindly increase the number, for example, in Nanjing City, Xiaoxiao guaranteed that the number of Fengqiuhuang would be controlled within three.

The brand-new model of the franchise store made the people present a little uncomfortable, and even a little at a loss. In this case, Zhu Youxiao had already prepared, and at this time, the ready-to-wear display, that is, the model show, was officially staged.
