Lin Qingwan took out the No. 1 scroll and handed it to the chief steward of Zhong, this is a silk village in Yangzhou City, among many industries, its assets rank last, because the stewards in it have to follow Lin Qingwan, and the attached value is low.

Zhong Da Steward read: "Yangzhou East Street Lin Silk Village one, including two front and back yards, the front yard has a second floor, the back yard has five rooms, no employees, a number of cloth silk satin," Zhong Da Steward looked up and said: "All the goods in the silk village are resold at cost price, if the buyer does not accept the bid, the specific value of the goods can be counted and settled after the transaction." ”

That is to say, if you buy a silk village, you have to buy the fabric in the shop at cost price.

The people at the bottom only hesitated, after all, there must be a lot of money occupied by buying together with the goods, but these things will also be used to open a silk village.

They bought a storefront, and as long as they arranged people to go in, they could open it, and they didn't have to transfer goods anymore.

Therefore, after the chief steward Zhong reported the reserve price, some people raised their cards for auction one after another.

The people in the yamen and the people of the Lin family were all staring at each other, and they all knew who had made what price, and after the price fell, they filled in the numbers and names on the prepared contract, stepped forward to find the other party to sign, and waited for the auction to end and find someone to get the money.

"The second lot, Yangzhou East Street Lin's Silver Building, two courtyards before and after, a total of two floors, three silversmiths, one steward, two guys, a number of ornaments in the shop, the reserve price is ......"

……

"A tea garden in the western suburbs of Hangzhou, totaling 168 acres, six tea workers, and the reserve price is ......"

"A tea garden in the southern suburbs of Hangzhou, totaling 356 acres," Steward Zhong read here, looked up and said: "Among them, there are fifty acres of high-quality Longjing tea trees......

The head of the Sheng family couldn't sit still, and straightened his back slightly.

He knew that this tea garden was originally the imperial village, and the Longjing tea trees planted there were also exclusively for the royal family.

However, when the Liao people went south, the Yin State and the Min State behind them were also not settled, and the Chen soldiers bordered and instigated the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River to rebel, so the Zhuang households in the Huangzhuang had already escaped cleanly.

Because at that time, Daliang saw that he was going to destroy the country, and no one thought about occupying this tea garden, the Lin family loved tea, and the first emperor did what he liked, and when he divided the industry to the Lin family, he also included this place.

After Lin Zhi took over, he managed this tea garden very well, and he didn't want to see the royal family, let alone pay tribute, even if the emperor mentioned to him in front of him that he wanted to drink Longjing tea, he could pretend not to hear. The harvested tea leaves are either kept for giving away, or kept for oneself to drink, and the rest is taken out and sold.

The Sheng family's good tea leaves are all produced from this tea garden, and some will be sent to the capital from time to time to please the emperor.

Therefore, the Sheng family is bound to get this tea garden, not to mention anything else, if you get this tea garden, how much relationship can you have with that good tea in the future.

Obviously, there are many people who have the same idea as the Sheng family, and the people who have been calm in the previous series of auctions have become nervous, staring at the steward Zhong with blazing eyes.

The price given by Chief Steward Zhong is also very "gratifying", "The reserve price is 8,000 taels, and each increase shall not be less than 50 taels." ”

The 356 acres of tea plantations dared to set a reserve price of 8,000 taels, which was nearly three times more expensive than the high-grade fertile land.

But no one dares to call it expensive, just by virtue of the precious tea trees inside.

The head of the Sheng family took the lead in shouting: "Nine thousand taels!" ”

Everyone was silent, and they all shot at the head of the Sheng family with their eye knives, people only let them add fifty taels at a time, and you add one thousand taels at once, this is to be beaten by the group, right?

The face of the Sheng family does not change, that is, let you retreat in the face of difficulties!

However, this was impossible, and at that moment there were tea merchants who raised signs and followed the bidding, "Nine thousand five hundred taels ......"

"Nine thousand five hundred and fifty two ......"

The head of the Sheng family had a toothache, glanced at the person who only added fifty taels at a time with disdain, and shouted again: "Ten thousand taels ......"

"Fifteen thousand taels ......"

……

When the price exceeds 15,000 taels, there are fewer bidders, but there are still three who are clenched and refuse to let go easily.

The head of the Sheng family frowned, nodded his knees and continued to shout: "Twenty thousand taels, everyone, it doesn't make much sense to call this price any longer, why don't you sell someone Sheng a face?" ”

The other three families glanced at each other, stopped what they were doing, and bowed slightly to the head of the Sheng family.

Lin Qingwan looked up at the Sheng family master, and said with a smile: "The Sheng family master is violating the rules, it's all about face, what's the point of this bidding?" ”

The head of the Sheng family complained bitterly, "Auntie, 20,000 taels to buy a 356-acre tea garden, Sheng is afraid that the old lady of the family will wait at the door with a cane when he goes back, you can do it, just get by." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, and her eyes wandered: "For the sake of the Sheng family master who has worked hard for my Lin family's auction for several days, this time I will forget it, and there will be a next time, depending on who he is, if he violates the rules, he will be invited out, and there is no need to participate in the bidding, and the deposit you paid yesterday will also be confiscated." ”

Lin Qingwan turned her head to look at the notaries on both sides: "Please also ask Lord Liu, Lord Sun, Mr. Ling and all the old gentlemen to notarize." ”

The people below felt sorry in their hearts, and pressed the little Jiujiu who had just come out again.

This Lin Qingwan doesn't look like a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world at all, this is specially taught by Lin Jiang, or are the people of the Lin family really so smart?

The tea plantation was sold for 20,000 taels, the largest sale to date.

Lin Qingwan handed the twelfth scroll to Steward Zhong, who raised his head and said, "Next is the farm, Jiangdu Lin's Farm, totaling 1,200 hectares, of which the high-grade fields are ......."

These farms are the main part of the competition, and the entire auction of these large farms of the Lin family is not less than 500,000 taels, and except for a few big families, everyone else can only stare dryly.

Because they can't afford it!

Even the big families can't pull in so much cash at once, and the money is stored everywhere. And Lin Qingwan demanded that the goods they auctioned must pay the balance within three days, otherwise the transaction will be cancelled, and the prepaid deposit will be confiscated, and liquidated damages will have to be paid. Fortunately, they didn't have enough cash, so they could still use other things, such as silk cloth and food.

The value of food has fluctuated too much, and now is the time when food prices are high, and no one is stupid enough to trade food for it.

But silk cloth is hard currency, and its price is stable.

These farms are the most valuable assets of the Lin family, and even Lin Qingwan, who has always been calm, couldn't help but straighten her back and look at several major families with blazing eyes.

Shang Mingyuan didn't bring any money, so he could only stare dryly from the beginning of the auction, while the other three were silent after looking at each other.

Apparently the three have reached a certain agreement and do not want to compete with each other.

After all, there are several farms in the Lin family, and there are obviously only three of them, so they may be able to push down the reserve price set by Lin Qingwan slightly.

Lin Qingwan smiled when she saw it, and turned her head to gesture to her subordinates.

The subordinate immediately took out another stack of booklets from the shelf, Lin Qingwan opened it and said with a smile: "I know that these farms are too big, and everyone may not be able to come up with so much money at once, so we have other auction plans, such as cutting the farms into pieces, ranging from 200 mu to 500 mu each, among which we have also surveyed the geometry of the superior field, the geometry of the medium field, and the geometry of the inferior field." ”

Zhou Xie and Zhao couldn't help but change their faces, and Zhao Sheng held back his anger and said, "Miss Lin is really well prepared. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "There is no way to do this, it is inevitable that there will be more porridge and less monks, and you can only increase the number of monks in the future, so you can divide all the porridge, don't waste it." And it's also convenient for other monks, so everyone can get some porridge, right? ”

The landlords who could only stare at the bottom immediately nodded happily, "Yes, yes, Miss Lin's method is good, in fact, if it weren't for the fear that you would be distressed, we would have wanted to put forward this opinion a long time ago." ”

So the auction continued, and if someone was willing to buy the farm in its entirety, then the other person would be given priority, and if no one bid, then the second plan would be taken, and the farm would be divided.

In the end, the whole auction was three, and the two were divided.

The three large farms, Zhou Xie and Zhao's three families each took one, and for these five farms alone, the Lin family auctioned off two million hundred and eighty thousand taels, which was a little more.

Not to mention the rest of the small farmsteads.

By the time the auction ended, it was already noon, and Lin Qingwan personally sent the contract to Zhou Xie and Zhao.

Although Zhou Bai was distressed, he still smiled and said: "Miss Lin is so courageous, her face will not change even if she has millions of taels of silver. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled: "It's not my money, if you want to change the color, it should also be the color change of Your Majesty who received the money." ”

Zhou Bai didn't dare to make fun of the emperor, haha laughed.

Zhao Shengpi on the side said with a smile: "The Lin family's industry, but the money from the sale is not the Lin family's, shouldn't Miss Lin have to change her color?" ”

"Money is something outside the body, I don't have to accompany the burial, and I can't take it with me, so why bother with it?" Lin Qingwan looked at Zhao Sheng with a smile and said, "It's that Second Master Zhao is too persistent." ”

"I always have to leave something for future generations, Miss Lin is already married, but my niece is still in the room."

"Second Master Zhao is right, so my brother and I have reserved things for the eldest sister, her mother's dowry is one, and the two farms in Suzhou and the Lin bookstore will give her a dowry in the future, and there are some Lin collections, although they are not much, but they are definitely not worse than others." Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "My nephew is still young, and when she grows up in a few years, if you have excellent children and nephews in your family, you have to keep them for me to pick one." ”

Everyone's expressions were a little subtle, a group of middle-aged men in their thirties and forties faced a fifteen-year-old girl, ah no, it was a married girl, and the other party asked them to keep the excellent children in the family and wait for her niece to grow up......

If Lin Jiang said this, they would definitely not feel embarrassed, but would laugh and recommend their own children, but this was said by Lin Qingwan, who was about the same age as their son, and maybe even younger, this feeling was too subtle, and a group of old men turned their faces in pain.

Lin Qingwan didn't care at all and greeted everyone with a smile, and after reconfirming the contract, she took each one in triplicate.

She has a copy, a buyer has a copy, and Liu Pei also holds a copy on behalf of the yamen.

After today, they will come to settle the money one after another, and when the property is transferred again, any party who repents will pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.

Because it was already noon, Lin Qingwan simply asked Sheng Ji Restaurant to prepare a sumptuous lunch for everyone to eat, leaving Zhong Da Steward to entertain everyone, and she went back first with the contract.

Zhou Bai also stopped, "Miss Lin doesn't stay for lunch together?" ”

"My brother is still waiting at home, you will use it first, and I will invite you to eat another day when I am free."

Because Lin Qingwan is everyone's best girl, no one embarrassed her, and only after seeing her leave did they hook up their shoulders and get together.

"It's the first time I've seen this form of bidding, and we can do it next time."

"Why, you're bidding for the property too?"

"Bah, you have to sell your business, there are always other things to sell besides your family business......"
