The auction of today's finale Uzi Treasure Knife was about to be auctioned, but Li Xiu frowned slightly at this time, because he found a problem that appeared at the auction, in fact, he should have thought of this problem a long time ago, but he ignored it, or he didn't expect this problem to be so serious.

For example, when a sale begins to bid, as long as it is the first to open the door is the nobleman in front, then the businessman behind will not dare to bid again, and only a group of nobles in front will be left to bid, but some nobles obviously have privileges, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, as long as he opens his mouth to bid, almost no one dares to follow.

Similarly, if the first bidder is the merchant in the back, the nobles in front will also become very quiet, not that they dare not bid, but disdain, after all, they are either nobles or high-ranking officials, and they must not compete with a group of low-status merchants, even if they also like this auction item, but they will definitely not bid, otherwise it is not shameful to say it.

This discovery also made Li Xiu very helpless, and even secretly scolded "this damn class society" in his heart, but he didn't have any way to do it, after all, the general trend of the whole society was like this, and it was definitely not something he could change alone.

"Class!" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but chew on this term that often appeared in political classes in later generations, although there were differences between the poor and the rich, officials and those who served the people, but the boundaries between classes have been very diluted, of course, in fact, classes must exist, but on the surface they are not so obvious.

In contrast, the class of the feudal society of the Tang Dynasty is very clear, Confucianism divides people into four kinds according to their occupations: "scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants", among which the sergeants belong to the ruling class and are at the top of the whole country, while the merchants have wealth, but they are at the bottom, and the status of farmers and craftsmen is higher than them, it is estimated that this is also the reason why there will be no bourgeois revolution in the Central Plains, after all, the status of merchants is too low, even if they have a lot of wealth, but they don't want to have the slightest involvement in the regime.

"The following is the final auction item of this auction, that is, an extremely precious Uzi treasure knife, although the price of this knife is not the most expensive, but it is definitely the rarest ......" At this moment, I saw that Wang Liang on the stage had already brought the Uzi treasure knife to the stage, and then introduced it loudly.

I don't know if Wang Liang did it on purpose, he actually introduced this knife to be smelly and long, and the people below couldn't wait, especially Ma Ye and other generals, who couldn't wait to rush to the top to plug Wang Liang's mouth, and then immediately started bidding, fortunately, Wang Liang didn't dare to go too far, and after introducing this treasure knife, he finally spoke again: "The base price of this Wuzi treasure knife is 1,000 yuan, and each bid must not be less than 100 yuan!" ”

As soon as Wang Liang's words fell, Ma Ye was the first to stand up and make a bid: "Fifteen hundred!" ”

No one expected that Ma Ye would add five hundred at once, of course, this also shows his determination, and the merchants behind naturally did not dare to make a price, as for the people in front, although many of them coveted this Uzi treasure knife, but seeing Ma Ye's appearance, it also scared off many people, after all, in their opinion, they really can't offend Ma Ye because of a knife.

However, there are also people who are not afraid of offending Ma Ye, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, who saw him slowly increase the price at the moment: "1,600 guan!" ”

"Eighteen hundred!" Ma Ye immediately said without changing his face, the eldest grandson Wuji had expressed his interest in this treasure knife before, so he had already expected this situation.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not a person who gives up easily, and he did not hesitate to increase the price again at the moment, in addition to Qin Qiong and several other generals, who also bid without showing weakness, speaking of which, the value of this Wuzi treasure knife is indeed not the most expensive, such as the coral that was auctioned first at the beginning, the value is above this knife, but the Wuzi treasure knife is too rare, it has always been priceless, and for the generals, this knife is the treasure they want the most, so naturally they will not give up easily.

It is precisely because of this that the competition for this knife is also very fierce, especially Ma Ye and Changsun Wuji are not people who are short of money, in the end, Qin Qiong and others have given up, and the two of them are left bidding, and in the end even Changsun Wuji can't stand it, although he is not short of money, but he also has a large family to raise, in contrast, Ma Ye hates a daughter, and he is married, so he doesn't care how much it costs, and in the end he almost won this Uzi treasure knife at a price much higher than the market price.

With the last auction item sold, the whole auction is finally over, and it is not early at this time, after all, there are so many auctions in one afternoon, and some of the sales are still very competitive, so a lot of time is consumed, and it is actually dusk outside, and everyone here is also hungry.

It is precisely because of this that many people immediately want to get up and leave when they see the end of the auction, and are ready to go to the opposite Zhengnanlou to find a seat to eat, after all, this is the best time for Zhengnanlou's business, and if you go late, you won't be able to find a seat.

But at this time, I saw Wang Liang on the stage speak again: "Everyone, this afternoon has delayed everyone's time in the afternoon, and it is estimated that everyone is also hungry, so we have prepared some wine and food in the side hall, all of which are ordered from the Zhengnan Building opposite, and everyone can enjoy them at will!" ”

Hearing that the auction house had actually prepared dinner, and it was booked from Zhengnan Building, this made the people below also feel very surprised, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting next to Li Xiu, couldn't help but say to him at this time: "Don Ma, your auction house is really generous, I'm afraid the cost of this treat is not small, right?" ”

"Haha~, everyone spent so much money to buy our auction items before, and now we should spend a little money to invite everyone to eat!" Li Xiu laughed at this time, of course, he didn't say that the wool came out of the sheep, anyway, it was also the money that these people spent to buy things, just now he roughly calculated, this auction will make the bank earn several times more money, if it continues for a long time, it may become one of the financial support points of the financial supervisor.

At the moment, Li Xiu invited everyone to eat in the side hall, and now it happened to be on the meal, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a seat in the south building, so including the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone went to the side hall to eat, and Li Xiu found Wang Liang and several other auction house directors, and discussed the gains and losses of today's auction while dining, and at the same time he also told the problems he found, after all, the separation between nobles and businessmen is too obvious, and this will also affect the effect of the auction.

As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly saw Wang Liang hesitating and said, "Don Ma, I think your worries are indeed very reasonable, but the villain also has some thoughts about this!" ”
