The auction for the Star Picking Tower is in full swing.

You must know that the treasures in the treasury are either rare treasures paid tribute by foreign envoys, or booty seized from victorious battles, or stolen goods confiscated from the homes of officials who committed crimes, and all of them are priceless.

On weekdays, most of these things are used by the emperor to reward his courtiers, which can be regarded as royal gifts, and ordinary people, even if they have money, do not dare to imagine being able to have one. What a glory it is for them to be able to bring these things home with them now! I'm even more excited than having an official in the family!

But everyone who took pictures of things, out of the Star Picking Tower, all of them were full of red light, beaming with joy, and they all wanted to tell the world the good news, let alone cover it up - these things, they clapped their hands, they were all registered in the court, if someone coveted it, when the time came, it would be reported to the official, and if it was caught, it would be punished for a big crime!

In the streets and alleys of the capital, teahouses and wine shops, everyone is talking about the results of the auction in the past few days, which rich man has spent a lot of money and auctioned rare treasures that are priceless, and they are all used as talking points after tea and dinner.

On the first day of August, the last day of the auction of the Star Building, it is also the highlight of this round of bidding.

Su Muyu, who has been hit hard by the concept of wealth repeatedly, still came, of course, not only he came, but Murong Chong also came with Lin Ruo - because the emperor and the crown prince came to the Star Picking Tower together, which made the weight of this major event even heavier.

These gentry and giants, even if they have illusions, hoping that they will have the opportunity to meet the emperor after spending this ten thousand taels, but they are just thinking about it privately. Who knows, the emperor is really here! Although their business is big and their families are rich, the biggest official they see on weekdays is Zhizhou, right? I've never seen this battle!

When he knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor" and "Chitose prince", the whole person trembled with excitement!

Long Yan, it's really Long Yan!

Although they didn't dare to look up directly, they were just grass people like them, and now they were people who had seen the Son of Heaven and the Prince! How can you not be excited!

"Flat—"

The shrill voice of the old eunuch Chen Guan echoed on the second floor, and everyone stood up in thanks, timidly lowering their heads, not daring to raise their heads; Although the bold is not blatant, he also does his best, looking at the emperor, trying to see the face of the Son of Heaven. It's a pity that they only saw a bright yellow corner of the robe, and after turning to the light gauze screen, they didn't get a glimpse of the true face of the Son of Heaven, but could only see a rough outline.

Regrets are there, but they are not so obvious.

"Prince, Li Yan, you don't need to be restrained, what kind of charter this auction should be, how to come, I just came to see the grand scene praised by the people in Beijing and satisfy my curiosity."

The voice of Emperor Mingzong came out from behind the screen, and the innate majesty made people listen to it in their ears, and they unconsciously felt a sense of obedience.

"Yes, my son obeys."

"The grass people obeyed."

The prince and Li Yan followed to salute and receive orders, and the prince walked out of the screen, followed by Li Yan. In the face of a group of officials, janitorial guards and wealthy businessmen, Lang Sheng said: "Lone is the crown prince Li Chang, who was ordered by the Son of Heaven to plan for the people's livelihood and plan to try out the method of green seedlings in the south of the Yangtze River. When you come to the Star Picking Tower today, you must also know and understand this method. Last year, Shangyu flooded, thousands of hectares of fertile land were flooded, Shangyu people are hungry, Shangyu new prefect Zhang Xu implemented the green seedling law, based on the grain of the granary of the people, and Shangyu, Jinling rich merchants exchanged for cash, with cash loans to the villagers and farmers, with ten households as a guarantee, by the village chief as a guarantee loan for autumn material farming, after the harvest to repay the loan interest of two points, one point to the imperial court, one point to the merchants. ”

The merchants who came to bid today are all coming for the five-year allocation right of Jiangnan Qingmiao, and naturally they have some understanding of the Qingmiao Law, and the prince just briefly introduced the Qingmiao Law, and the highlight is to let these gentry and magnates pay for this honor of cooperation with the imperial court.

"Today's auction is the right to allocate seedlings for five years of trial implementation of the Jiangnan Seedlings Law, and those who participate in the auction must have sufficient family resources in Jiangnan to afford tens of thousands of rural households in Jiangnan to borrow summer and autumn materials; After winning the right to allocate the green seedlings, they must not collude with the government to exploit the peasant households, arbitrarily raise the interest rate on loans, and force the peasant households to ask for loans and repay the loans......

The crown prince listed a series of prohibitions, which made many gentry and magnates who were originally determined to win the right to allocate power to this point feel timid.

There are so many prohibitions, so many rules, you know, lending is not an easy thing, more or less there will be some secret relationship with the ruffians and bandits, and when you meet the old scoundrels who owe money and do not pay it back, you will have to work these people out of the horse. The interest rate set by the imperial court is only two cents, which is far from the loan interest they give on weekdays, but it can't stand the huge base of farmers who come to ask for loans! All told, it's definitely a sure-fire business. However, with the addition of many restrictions, people unconsciously think about whether it is cost-effective.

It is said that farmers are honest, but not everyone who works as farmers is honest, there are always some people who do not go to farming after taking the seedlings to ask for materials, but use them in other places, such as gambling houses, brothels and the like, and when the time comes, they will not pay the money, but they have to count on the Jianghuai envoy sent by the court to make a decision, which is too passive, right?

Moreover, the prince also said that if anyone takes the five-year allocation right of the Jiangnan green seedlings, they will not only be supervised by the imperial court, but also supervised by the farmers, and the group of businessmen who have not photographed the right to allocate the green seedlings will also stare at it with wide eyes!

In this world, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves! In case someone gets in the way, stumbling on themselves and throwing dirty water on them, will that one who is a delinquent person be able to see through it?

After all, it was a decree implemented by the imperial court, and the main purpose was to put the peasants with sufficient food and clothing in the first place for the sake of people's livelihood, and the second was to open up the source for the imperial court and let these businessmen profit. If something goes wrong, you will inevitably be punished by thunder.

Concerns such as these are just a few of them, and many people are reluctant to give up.

However, the prince's next words made their hearts flutter again.

"Half of the interest on the loan shall be attributed to the imperial court, and the rest shall be attributed to the merchant who allocates the green seedlings; The trial implementation of the Jiangnan Seedlings Law is decided by the Jianghuai Envoy, and the Seedlings Division is set up to supervise all related matters. And in the end, the merchants who won the bidding, the emperor will personally give the 'righteous businessman' plaque, give the 'imperial businessman' title, and the identity is the same as the seven-grade grain transportation supervisor, and the state and county do not need to kneel to show the emperor's grace! ”
