Zhang Guoji is still procrastinating, Liu Qi really wants to smash the stool he is sitting on on Zhang Guoji's head at this time, of course, this idea can only be thought about at most, if it is really smashed, he will not be able to estimate this door.

Zhang Guoji saw that it was impossible for anyone to quote again, so he shouted loudly: "Sixty-five thousand taels!" Second! ”

"Sixty-five thousand taels! The third time! Deal! Zhang Guoji announced loudly, "Congratulations to Liu Qi for obtaining the cement franchise in Yunnan Province." Next, Li Yongzhen, the governor and eunuch of the East Factory, will issue Liu Qi with a certificate of exclusive franchise of cement in Yunnan Province. ”

This ceremony was originally intended to be held after all the franchise auctions were completed, but Zhu Youxiao thought about it and decided to advance it, this auction Zhu Youxiao arranged two days, only auctioning eight provincial franchises every day, especially the auction on the second day is the auction of the economic province, the first day must hype up the atmosphere, the warmer the atmosphere, the higher the price will be sold.

When I heard that the franchise certificate was issued by Li Yongzhen, there was an uproar. The eunuch of the Dongchang Admiral can be said to be the emperor's domestic slave, and the certificate issued by the Dongchang Admiral Eunuch is enough to prove that Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to this matter, and it is also enough to prove that this matter has been recognized by Zhu Youxiao.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao was going to do it in person, but considering a series of problems, it was finally decided that Li Yongzhen would issue it, and on this occasion, Li Yongzhen's identity was enough to represent Zhu Youxiao.

Li Yongzhen walked to Liu Qi from the backstage with the franchise certificate that had been prepared and said, "Liu Qi, congratulations on obtaining the franchise of cement in Yunnan Province. ”

"There's Lord Labor!" Liu Qi said respectfully and excitedly. After seeing Li Yongzhen, Liu Qi looked sincerely afraid, after all, it was the first time he had seen a big man like Li Yongzhen.

"Liu Qi, this certificate has the emperor's imperial seal, and you must keep it well after you bring it back, don't let down Your Majesty's grace." Li Yongzhen said with a smile.

"Overseer, the villain understands that the villain will never fail His Majesty's grace." Liu Qi said excitedly. When he heard that the certificate had Zhu Youxiao's seal on it, he was even happier and more relieved, he felt that the 65,000 taels was definitely worth the money.

After issuing the certificate, Zhang Guoji began the auction of the franchise rights in the second province, and the second province was Sichuan Province, which is a large province in the southwest and one of the first provinces to come into contact with cement, so it was placed in second place by Zhu Youxiao. The competition in Sichuan Province greatly exceeded that of Yunnan Province, and even Liu Qi joined the auction again. The reserve price of 15,000 was finally sold at 100,0300 taels of silver dollars.

The third auction was the franchise of Shaanxi Province, which is now a border city and whose economic conditions are not as good as those in the south, and the final auction price was only 55,000 taels of silver.

"The fourth one we want to bid for is the cement franchise in Shanxi Province, with a reserve price of 10,000 taels of silver, and a price increase of not less than 1,000 taels of silver per round......" Zhang Guoji's words were not finished, and someone bid, "Eighty thousand taels of silver!" ”

The bidder's name is Zhu Shenfang, and you can judge by looking at the name that this is the line of King Jin. The name of the Jin Dynasty is: Jimei Zhong Qi Table, Knowing the New and Seeking Carefully, Reviewing the Heart and Respecting the Salty Jingmu, and Continuing the Study. Now most of the Jin king's lineage has reached the "trial" school.

At the first sight of the name, the others did not dare to bid. Zhu Youxiao was also a little puzzled, if it was to make trouble, this price was indeed very appropriate. If it weren't for the trouble, no one else would dare to bid for his bid.

"Your Majesty, this is Zhu Xian, Lieutenant of Fengguo, Shanxi." Wang Liqian said softly.

Lieutenant Fengguo is the last title in the royal family, from the sixth grade, two hundred stones, according to the rules of demotion inheritance, the descendants of Zhu Xianfang will not have any titles in the future. Of course, from now on, Zhu Xianfang will actually have no money. But after all, it is the line of King Jin, which has been inherited for so many years, and he also enjoys various privileges, which makes Zhu Xianfang still have some savings.

This time, Zhu Zhen blew up the franchise to bid for cement was also instigated by other people in the Jin Dynasty, and this Datong case can be said to have caused heavy losses to everyone in the Jin Dynasty, and naturally many people were not convinced.

Their first thought was to participate in the cement auction, and Zhu Youxiao also agreed in public that the King of Jin could be a businessman, although the status of businessmen in this period has been higher than in the past, but in the hearts of many people is still cheap. They just want to see if King Jin is forced to engage in cheap work by Zhu Youxiao, how will Zhu Youxiao face this matter?

And the generation that has been passed down to Lieutenant Fengguo can be said to be at the end of the road, so Zhu Xianfang took the initiative to stand up, and the others pooled 50,000 taels of silver for him to bid for the cement franchise. But after Zhu Xianbang came to Jingshi, he found that cement was actually promising, especially the first three auctions made him even more convinced of his own point of view, in order not to offend Zhu Youxiao, and not to offend other people in the Jin Dynasty, he simply shouted out the price of "80,000 taels" at one time.

"Since Zhu Xianfang's price is so sincere, then sell the franchise to him." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.

Zhu Youxiao hoped from the bottom of his heart that the royal family would be able to support itself and stop crawling on the weak body of Daming like a parasite to suck blood, and now the entire Daming will be sucked down by them.

"No." Li Yongzhen nodded and said.

……

In this way, Zhu Xianfang also got the franchise of Shanxi Cement like everyone else.

The fifth auction is the cement franchise in Guizhou, and now Guizhou is also reforming the land and returning to the stream, and ethnic contradictions often break out, and the rebellion of Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan has not been extinguished so far, which makes the cement franchise in Guizhou only sold for 30,000 taels of silver dollars.

The sixth auction was the franchise of Guangxi Province, which was now at war with Annam, who had invaded Guangxi in July 1623 and whom Zhu Youxiao had to focus on. The cement franchise in Guangxi Province was affected by this, and only 44,000 taels of silver dollars were auctioned.

The seventh auction of the franchise in Shandong Province, at this time Shandong Province is not like the later Shandong Province, it can be said that it is a poor province, man-made disasters and natural disasters, and the people are displaced, which also makes the cement franchise in Shandong Province The auction price is not high, and the price of 60,000 taels of silver dollars was auctioned.

The last auction of the franchise of Hokonao, Hokonao appeared as the finale of the first day, and as soon as it appeared, it was sought after by the merchants present.
