Spring is a good season, Xu Yang carefully planted a large bag of sesame seeds in the vegetable field of the owner's mansion, and stayed until midsummer, this is the sesame seeds all over the ground, and the sesame oil that he has been trying to get finally has some sprouts.

At the end of the dynasty this morning, Xu Yang stood outside the court with a large stack of invitations with a smile, and the officials sent invitations one by one, the smile was like a weasel stealing a chicken.

Fang Xuanling and Xu Yang have been friends for a long time, and they are almost clear about this young man's temper, how can such an unprofitable lord be so enthusiastic today? Distribute invitations to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?

"I said Xu Gong? What are you posting? Fang Xuanling walked over with Beban in his arms and asked.

"Hey, it's Uncle Fang, the kid is sending an invitation, on the first day of the first day of April, the boy's Datang Auction House will hold another auction, and when the time comes, I invite you to enjoy your face, let's go and see together, no need to spend money, just need someone to arrive, and there will be gifts to give at that time."

Fang Xuanling listened, and felt more and more that there was something strange in it, but he didn't know what the problem was, and stared at Xu Yang with a smile on his face for a while, but he couldn't see the slightest flaw, so he had to shake his head and said: "I saw it once last time in the auction house next to the Qujiang Pond, and the highest bidder is also a novelty, but the old man always feels that there seems to be some secret in it?" ”

The smile on Xu Yang's face became brighter and brighter, "Where is there any secret, but most of the people who participated in the auction this time were not Han Chinese, but businessmen from some small surrounding countries, who had admired my Tang Dynasty for a long time, so the kid just helped them hold an auction." ”

As soon as Xu Yang said this, Fang Xuanling immediately understood. To him, an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for many years. How can you not see that those Hu businessmen want to integrate into the upper class social circle of the Tang Dynasty. He shook his head and said softly: "People are old, so they don't bother to ask about this kind of thing, but this auction, the old man will also go to see how much those Hu businessmen admire my Datang." ”

Fang Xuanling took an invitation from Xu Yang, and looked down, this invitation seemed to be extremely luxurious, with a few gilded characters printed on the big red paper shell "Auction Invitation". It was the first time Fang Xuanling had seen such an invitation, and he sighed: "Your kid is also a loser, such an invitation is really wasteful." ”

"Uncle Fang, you have misunderstood, these are gilt characters, not inlaid with gold, and the cost is not high." Xu Yang hurriedly explained, "By the way, Uncle Fang, you can also bring your wife with you at that time." This time, the more people came, the more lively it became. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said with a smile: "That's definitely going to go, your kid didn't send an invitation." This time, I actually held an auction to send out invitations, how could the old man miss it. ”

Xu Yang also scratched his head embarrassedly, he was really too lazy in terms of socializing.

At the end of the court, outside the Liangyi Palace, Xu Yang finally distributed all the stacks of invitations, and this time almost all the top officials of the Tang Dynasty were invited, including the eldest grandson's family, the Fang family, the Cheng family, the Qin family, and the Wei Chi family.

"Uncles, elders, colleagues, in the next time I take the liberty to invite you to the auction house next to Qujiang Pond to participate in an auction, prepare some melons, fruits and vegetables for you, there will be singing and dancing music, so that everyone can relax, if you have a family can bring it, but an invitation can only bring two people at most, on the first day of April, the little nephew is waiting for you to come to the Qujiang Auction House."

After many officials agreed, Xu Yang hid by the doorpost outside the Liangyi Hall and covered his mouth and snickered, but he didn't think about it, but there was suddenly another person in front of him, and he couldn't help but be startled, and after a closer look, he found that it was the white-eyed father-in-law.

"I said white-eyed father-in-law, walking silently can scare people to death! ~" Xu Yang covered his heart and complained.

"Lord Xu is a good means, the court will send invitations at the end of the meeting, this is really not to worry about not being able to send it out, and there is no need to visit one by one, let's go with our family, His Majesty seems to be a little interested in this, and there is a purpose to summon him." ……

In the side hall next to the Liangyi Palace, Li was holding a big red invitation card in the second hand, looking over and over, he was curious, since he became the emperor, he invited the courtiers, but few people invited him to participate in any meeting, so he was very curious about Xu Yang's invitation, and turned it out from time to time to see.

"This is the invitation from the auction house I went to last time?" Li Er asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, exactly." Xu Yang's answer was also respectful.

"I went there last time, but that kind of small private room is very good," Li Er said expressionlessly, "I went there last time when I heard Wuji say that there was an auction, why did you hold it with great fanfare this time?" Li Er was very curious.

"Your Majesty doesn't know." Xu Yang swallowed his saliva, "Now that Datang is developing too rapidly, the barbarians are all in awe of my Datang, plus my Datang has a prosperous business and strong purchasing power, so these overseas barbarian merchants have asked to hold an auction that they are allowed to participate in, so that they can see the treasures of the Central Plains and buy them back to pay tribute." ”

"Oh?" Li Er raised his eyebrows, "So, it turns out that these barbarians want to make friends with my high-level courtiers in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The corners of Xu Yang's mouth smiled a little unnaturally, and he said a lot, but he was still seen through.

Without waiting for Xu Yang to answer, Li Er waved his hand and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I am very happy to see the barbarians from all over the world come to the Central Plains to worship and do business, as long as I don't refute my Tang Dynasty laws, I will support their living habits, but the last time I looked at the auction house, it was already a little crowded with two hundred people, this time you invite civil and military officials, and then bring your family, can the venue be used?" ”

Xu Yang showed a confident smile and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, that building is now combined with the defects of the last time, a large-scale renovation has been started, and now it has been changed to a dome-like dome, and the echo wall design has been added, and the sound is more than ten times louder than the last time, Nanshan Academy has recently invented a mirror, with more than a dozen mirrors gathered together, only a few whale oil lamps are needed, the stage can be brightly lit, the private rooms on the second floor have increased by ten, and even the seats on the first floor are more than twice as many as before, Therefore, the minister believes that this time he will definitely be able to sit down in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and he will definitely be satisfied with His Majesty. ”

Xu Yang said a lot, Li Er's expression became more and more curious, and when he finished speaking, Li Er clapped his hands and said: "Okay, then I am looking forward to your new auction house, on the first day of April, I will personally visit in civilian clothes, by the way, I also want to talk about you, this time the invitation actually mentioned the name of Guanyin, you are a foreign minister, openly mention the name of the queen, I don't know if this is very rude?" ”

I have seen your wife no less than eighteen times, at the beginning of the year, I was still chasing and scolding me in Xujiazhuang for misleading people's children, and I want to give an explanation, now I think of the etiquette in front of me, but although I think so in my heart, but I said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a wronged minister, the minister not only invited the queen's mother, but also Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Wei Chi and others, I really don't know that I offended the etiquette." ”

Li Er didn't want to listen to Xu Yang's defense, so he took out the invitation card and looked at it, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, at that time, I will not only take Guanyin and the maid, but also a few princes and princesses, you have to arrange it for me............

"This matter is also thanks to the fact that Xu Junye came out of the horse, and he was able to invite the top families in Chang'an, and the younger brother really admired the five-body projection." Teng Jianhu was about to kneel down for Xu Yang, but Xu Yang waved his hand, but was stopped by the servant.

"I paid a lot of personal debts for this matter, so all the goods in this auction are provided by my Xujiazhuang, and the silver earned is also obtained by my Xujiazhuang, do you understand?" Xu Yang ate the grapes and said vaguely in his mouth.

"Understand, understand, those Hu businessmen are really lucky to see these nobles, thanks to Xu Junye, they have this opportunity, and those silver are naturally taken by Xu Junye............ (To be continued......)
