Listening to the titles of the prince Baylor, not only Cao Hao Nahan, but even Ma Qi and He Yi also changed their faces.

The holy car is in Tangquan, and the gentlemen in the capital have also gone with the car, why did they all come out again?

Not to mention anything else, how to arrange the seats is a big problem. Among them, dignity, rules, titles, and official positions must be considered, and there is no difference between them.

Fortunately, Cao Hao had already ordered a round table to be placed, and there was no square table, otherwise the "upper", "side", and "lower" positions were not something that ordinary people could rank.

Thinking of this, Ma Qi and He Yi's eyes when they looked at Cao Hao also deepened.

Cao Hao's face was not shocked, and he muttered in his heart.

The fourth elder brother led the household department, the seventh elder brother led the ritual department, and the fourteenth elder brother led the military department. These three elder brothers are now leading people to repair books, and the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother have not received errands, so why did they come?

Even if the ninth elder brother pulled the tenth elder brother to see Cao Hao's jokes, the third elder brother didn't know whose jokes he was looking at, and they were too idle like Prince Kang Chong'an and Prince Jian Yaerjiang.

Moreover, they also made "uninvited guests", "uninvited".

The officials of the six departments did not dare to take it in front of the people of the Internal Affairs Office, and they also had to post a post, which could be regarded as saying hello in advance. On the side of the prince Baylor, he acted much more recklessly.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a minister, and the left and right are just royal servants.

On the east side sat the imperial family, and on the west side sat the officials of the six departments, but they were also divided into dignity and humility, looking neat.

However, it took half an hour to ask for peace and meet each other this time.

Cao Hao followed Ma Qi and He Yi, watched the princes and Baylor talk unhurriedly, and glanced at the bidding area.

Among the kneeling people, there are many white-haired old men, trembling and slow, looking so hard.

The table clock on the stage has ten minutes until twelve o'clock at noon.

There has already been a pen post whispering to say that the things that are cutting the ribbon are ready.

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help nodding, in the end, it was so convenient to prepare things in the warehouse of the Internal Affairs Office.

As the drums began to play, the arena fell silent.

The princes, Belles, and civil and military officials all shut up, wondering if there was a good show to be staged.

The 500 or so people kneeling next to the bidding seat and the "donation seat" secretly complained bitterly. I've been kneeling for a quarter of an hour, and I'm going to kneel all the time?

However, secretly looking at the bright red top, a sneak away from the prince's elder brother, made many people really have a long history in the world.

Not only is it heavily guarded outside, but I also heard that there are royal guards, how many of the princes in this room are common?

Perhaps, even the Emperor Long Live will come over.

More than 20 guards had already come over with red silk and copper trays.

Everyone was still wondering what kind of object this was, and the sixteenth elder brother had already stepped forward with a smile and said to the princes and elder brothers: "Uncles, brothers, and nephews, it is rare for everyone to give face, and they can't come in vain." Come, give me sixteen faces, help cut the ribbon, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs touch your blessings. ”

Everyone was still puzzled, and the sixteenth elder brother had already taken Yarjiang's arm, walked to the front desk, stood on the edge of the red ribbon, picked up the scissors on the tray, and stuffed them into his hands.

Then, beckoning the other princes, Baylor, also to stand.

The little twenty are very spectacular to look at.

Some are curious, some are restrained, and they hold the shelves and wait for the ceremony.

The sixteenth elder brother laughed secretly in his heart, where is there such a cheap?

The sixteenth elder brother cleared his throat and took a holy decree from the hand of the little eunuch who was attendant, which was "Since I have been in the imperial pole, I have been thinking about the people's livelihood, and I have been diligent and diligent at night, and I will ask all the people who have traveled to them, and I will be prepared to inquire about them".

This time, even the kings in the audience had to kneel down to listen to the holy decree.

sprinkled a large article, nothing more than caring about the national economy and people's livelihood or something, and finally said a sentence that I hope that all the businessmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have patriotic hearts and loyal to the monarch.

After the decree was issued, I don't know who took the lead, and everyone shouted "Long live, long live, long live."

The princes are okay, but they just think that Ma Qi and Cao Hao are not kind, and they still make such a fuss, so that everyone kneels for this time.

Many businessmen are already in tears with excitement, and they only feel that they have gone through this experience in their lives, and they have not lived in vain.

Cao Hao followed everyone in the Internal Affairs Office and knelt down the stage, and couldn't help but wave his hands and applaud for the sixteenth elder brother.

What is "borrowing", this is called "borrowing".

With this holy decree, if a businessman wants to do anything in the bidding, it will rise to the level of "disloyal to the king" and "unpatriotic". On the other hand, if you exert enough effort to win the deal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you will be "loyal to the monarch and patriotic".

The sixteenth elder brother was also a little proud, but it was not for the holy decree he invited to the Tangquan Palace yesterday, but for the row of princes and elder brothers who were kneeling in the audience.

The holy decree was announced, and the sixteenth elder brother asked everyone on the field to get up.

Subsequently, on behalf of the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the sixteenth elder brother thanked the princes and officials who attended the meeting today. Next, it was the eighteen princes Baylor who cut the ribbon together.

The moment the red satin fell, Brother Jiu held the scissors, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke.

He put down the scissors with a smile, and said to the ten elder brothers on the side with a smile: "Interesting, I didn't expect there to be these little tricks, it's really interesting." ”

The tenth elder brother was upset by this cumbersome ceremony, and frowned: "What's the point? Weird and crooked. Brother Jiu too, what's so nice about this, coaxed the brothers to come, and now we seem to be here to carry the flag for Xiao Sixteen. With this kung fu, is it good to listen to two plays, and still join in the fun? ”

Brother Jiu gestured to the bidding area, and said, "Look, there are more than two hundred and fifty people...... " said, and pointed to the seats behind him: "There are also two hundred and fifty over there, plus the internal affairs office here and there, there are always six or seven hundred people, this big drama is not enough for you to watch?" ”

As they spoke, everyone returned to their seats.

Tenth Elder Brother thought for a while before poking his head over and whispering in Ninth Elder Brother's ear: "Ninth Brother, this left one is two hundred and five, and the right one is two hundred and five, is this Cao Hao sincere?" It's not a good thing to hear. ”

Brother Jiu sat on the side, already with the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it's two hundred and five depends on the next one." As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the stage.

Brother Ten was bored, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, but he slandered Cao Hao for being too stingy, and he didn't know how to prepare some dried fruit candied ...... bidding table, Yi Duli was already standing behind the case, holding a small hammer, and started today's first bid.

Just when everyone was stunned, intending to see what kind of financial path this so-called first mark was, the result was much more unexpected.

The first bid is several projects that need to be repaired in the inner court, and the original project cost a total of 56,000 taels. Among the businessmen in the bidding area, those who have contracted projects can participate in the bidding.

But instead of shouting the price up, he shouted down, and he raised a sign to reduce five hundred taels of silver.

The project of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been the most oily, and the cost of this project is only higher than the budget, when has it been saved?

Ma Liandao sat at the back of the crowd, looking at Cao Hao in front of him, and couldn't help but twitch in his heart.

Perhaps this bidding and procurement will have little impact on the other yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it will be crucial to the Construction Division.

In this way, he, as a man, has become the ears of a deaf man—like an ornament.

Although he has been in regular contact with Cao Yin and has moved around a lot, whose rights have been robbed, and he is still happy in his heart?

Ma Liandao was thinking about several imperial businessmen who often took over the work of the Internal Affairs Office, and looked forward to the failure of this project.

After all, this is a payment, not a transaction to collect money, and there are not many silver taels, if it can be auctioned off like this, then Cao Hao will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the construction department in the future.

But it backfired, and there were already many people holding signs in the auction area.

After a while, the price was raised to 49,000 taels, which was 7,000 taels lower than before.

Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, although the project this time is not big, but these businessmen are willing to lose the big backer of the Internal Affairs Office for a few small money.

Sometimes, it's not for the job.

Through this period of shouting, Yi Duli has lost his initial restraint, holding a hammer in his hand, looking at the auction area, and saying loudly: "Forty-eight thousand five hundred taels, forty-eight thousand taels......

The auction room was silent, except for him shouting on the stage with his neck pulled.

The officials of the six departments pretended to be careless, but in fact, their eyes were always aimed at the auction area.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother did not sit on the side of the prince Baylor, but sat at the same table with Ma Qi, Cao Hao and others at the officials of the Internal Affairs Office.

The sixteenth elder brother held the bidding brochure in his hand, looked at the upper and lower amounts, sometimes asked Cao Hao in a low voice, and sometimes glanced at the stage.

"For this bidding project, how to calculate the deposit paid?" Listening to Yi Duli shouting again and again, the sixteenth elder brother was a little puzzled.

"If the project is transferred, if the project is accepted, it does not meet the requirements of the initial bid, and it will be counted as a fine into the inner treasury." Cao Hao replied beside him.

Just listening to the "poof", the seventeenth elder brother was already laughing.

When several people in the audience heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the seventeenth elder brother.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the seventeenth elder brother hurriedly picked up the teacup to cover up.

The sixteenth elder brother also had a smile on his face, and whispered to Cao Hao: "The seventeenth brother is laughing at you, only in and out, where is the good money boy, obviously a little ghost who collects money!" ”

Yiduli on the stage has already shouted 38,000 taels.

Compared with the estimated amount of the project, it is less than 30%, and some people are still holding signs.

Yidu Lifang shouted a lot just now, and now he felt an itch in his throat, and still said in a loud voice: "Thirty-seven thousand five hundred taels, thirty-seven thousand taels, thirty-six thousand five hundred taels...... Thirty thousand five hundred taels, thirty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels at a time...... 30,000 taels twice...... 28,000 taels...... Twenty-seven thousand five ...... Twenty-seven thousand ......"

"Twenty-seven thousand once, twenty-seven thousand twice, twenty-seven thousand three times, winning the bid." As he spoke, Iduli struck the table with a hammer.

It is the final word, and the bidding for the first bid has been completed.

Iduli's forehead was already oozing with sweat, and he only felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

Since his father died and his grandfather was convicted, he rarely spoke so loudly in front of people, but now he is shouting happily.

The audience, whether it was "observing" or bidding, couldn't help but widen their eyes.

27,000 is already less than half of the original project budget.

Who would have thought that a project could compete to this extent.

The person who won the bid did not have joy on his face; Those who fail to meet the standard are not annoyed.

Everyone knows that if you take over the project at this price, you will lose money, and you will just take the money into it yourself to subsidize the relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If you have that money, you can go through the door of other adults, and you should use it too.

Ma Liandao leaned back in the chair and looked at the back of Cao Hao's head, complaining. Thinking about it, I will drink tea and read the newspaper in the future, and I will enjoy the leisure completely.

This silver belongs to the royal family, and it is not his Cao family.

The idea of getting money is just a matter of getting started; What the hell is the idea of saving money?

Cao Hao only felt a chill on the back of his neck, not because Ma Liandao was staring at him, but because he was a little annoyed in his heart.

I seem to be a little carried away, and I have something extraneous to do it.

Originally, there was no project bidding, because I was afraid that the other bidding bids were too big, and the businessmen who could participate were limited.

Although this bid was a success and saved money for the royal family, I don't know how many people will be offended.

Why bother?

Moreover, when the hand is stretched out, it will be disgusting.

Cao Hao glanced at the stage and warned himself that he must not have a little tail cocked.

I just brazenly took the system that I used hundreds of years later, and I used it now, and I just used it to trick myself, and I can't count it as a real skill. If you are fluttering and get carried away, I am afraid that you will hit your head full of bags.

On the other side of the bidding area, some businessmen who were originally unimpressed have also become solemn.

The final bid amount is less than half of the bid, which is a decrease. If it is positive, won't the final target be twice the outcry?

According to the regulations, after the bidding is successful, the balance must be paid within three to half a month according to the amount of the bid, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves.

Some people have to start silently calculating in their hearts, what is the upper limit of the silver they can use? If the bidding is not enough, who can embezzle the money in Beijing, what is the amount, and how to calculate the profits?

Han Jiang sat in the "donation area", and he also thought of this in his heart, but he was overjoyed.

In this bidding, several business routes that came out cost 100,000 taels of silver. In addition to others, this bidding conference will collect hundreds of taels of silver, to say the least.

The silver in the capital is limited, and many businessmen from other places who come to Beijing will carry how much silver they carry with them.

In the end, the money in the bank may not be enough, and then it is designated to borrow money from everywhere.

When Han Jiang first entered Beijing, he did not exchange Jiangning's [***] money bank. It wasn't until he partnered with the Cao family to do business and made people go to Jiangnan to buy that he personally followed him and took care of Jiangning's affairs.

Qianzhuang, she has already redeemed it to the relatives of the Cheng family, and all the silver has been exchanged for gold from the Cheng family, and she has bought a few shops and fields from Yangzhou, which can be regarded as purchasing some properties.

The rest of the gold was deposited in Cheng's house for 30,000 taels, and the rest was transported to the capital in batches with the raw materials from Daoxiang Village and buried deep underground.

The purchase of Daoxiang Village is not expensive, and the remaining gold is still 70,000 or 80,000 taels.

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, if these money are carried out by someone who finds the right person, and then turns it around, I am afraid that it will cost a few more percent.

Han Jiang's family was originally engaged in money trading, and he calculated it in his mind, and his hand couldn't help touching his purse.

In the purse was a small silver abacus, which, like the dagger, was something she carried with her.

Entering to inspect the guard, he could call out the name of the Cao family, and he thought that he was familiar with the Cao family, but he didn't know why, his expression was so strange...... Han Jiang thought in his heart, but his gaze passed through everyone and looked at where Cao Hao was sitting.

This man, she really can't see through it.

However, when he saw him for the first time, his face was full of disapproval and wanted to reprimand, but it made Han Jiang's heart quite awkward.

Although he didn't say anything in the end, when he looked at her, there was still a bit of concern and reproach in his eyes.

In addition to Han Jiang's family, there is another person who is also watching Cao Hao's side, that is, Zheng's Woxue, who is also wearing men's clothes.

Originally, Wang Quantai wanted to participate in the bidding instead of his wife, but was dissuaded by Zheng Woxue. Of course, there are those who don't believe in their husbands and are afraid that he is not familiar with business, but there are also those who take care of their husbands and do not want to ruin his future.

Although now, the imperial court does not prohibit the purchase of officials, but most of them are not really lacking.

Shinong industry and commerce, Shinong industry and commerce.

After all, it is the rule of etiquette and religion, even if you laugh at the poor and don't laugh at the prostitute, you also pay attention to your background and face on the table.

Although Wang Quantai took the initiative to resign in his early years, his fame is still there.

The emperor of Guangzhou is far away, and the business of Jia is not in the way, but he cannot act arbitrarily in the capital.

Listening to the meaning of the thirteenth elder brother, it is necessary to ask someone to make up for Wang Quantai's real shortage in two years and earn a future.

Zheng Woxue didn't want him to show up and get involved in this, and this was the reason.

In addition, like Han Jiang, she is also full of curiosity about this.

It's not for the form of bidding, after all, in the early years in Jiangning, she participated in the bidding of the Pearl Fair.

It is curious whether all procurement can be carried out in the form of tenders? Is it better to reduce the purchase cost than to negotiate with a customer individually? How much can it be reduced?

All kinds of questions made her bold, and she didn't use the manager or shopkeeper to disguise herself.

On the bidding table, Yiduli is already shouting the second bid.

It is the crude drug reserve of the Imperial Pharmacy and the Shou Pharmacy, and although it is in the crude pharmacy of the Tai Hospital, it is not just a matter of the Tai Hospital.

Usually, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge, and the hospital is only responsible for making up the list.

Nowadays, the bidding is the reserve of commonly used raw medicinal materials in the next three years, and the precious and scarce medicinal materials used by the royal are not counted, and those must be purchased by special people in special production areas, and other commonly used medicinal materials are purchased by various pharmacies.

The share for three years, 200,000 taels, 66,600 taels per year. It is also a drop in the number, and a sign is a thousand taels of silver.

Medicinal materials are not compared to others, and there are few outsiders mixed with them, unlike some trades that are not divided into other industries. In addition, the amount of this target is large, and there are only a few large-scale pharmacies in the capital, so it is not as lively as the bidding standard.

There are only three or four companies holding signs, and in the end, only Tong Ren Tang and other time-honored brands are left to raise signs.

When Tongrentang raised the card to 180,000, the other party did not bid again...... shouted a few bids in a small way, and there were also those for the purchasing agent, which was a liter, and the amount was not high.

Half an hour has passed, and everyone on the field is familiar with the bidding process.

Many people, holding the sign, are already a little unable to sit still. I can't wait to get to the bid I want to vote, and hurry up to vote.

Cao Hao looked at the stage, now, it's the turn of today's main event......

(To be continued)
