Chapter 126: Opening Bids
The gods proclaimed, the morning recitation, the officiating ceremony, the blessings, the believers were very enthusiastic and pious, the atmosphere was warm and orderly, and the official session on the first day of the sacrifice was over.
Feng Sanshang, after a short rest, it's time to go to the supervisor.
When Grand Priest Pifontu came to the side hall, all the people involved had already arrived.
The Great Priest didn't think about whether he was late or not, as the Great Priest, he was qualified to make anyone other than the gods wait, if there were exceptions, that is, there were only a handful of people, and those few people obviously couldn't be here today. He didn't really know what was going to be supervised today, and the secular priest who was in charge of helping him negotiate this job told him that it was probably the sale of a piece of land in Ha Ji Siyuan, and he didn't even know the size of the piece. Anyway, as long as you say two words and do two actions, you can get the supervision money.
Yes, this superintendent does not collect copper or silver coins, but real gold coins, and the Grand Priest Pivontu collects three hundred Didang gold coins each time, which is equivalent to three thousand nine hundred polin silver.
The archpriest sat down as everyone stood and watched, then nodded and motioned for Kimp Fink to orderβit was time to begin.
"Today, by the grace of death, we gather here, and here we feel the grace of God......
The opening remarks of the order were really not short, and hundreds of sentences were spoken, and then the bidding and bidding process officially began.
Each interested family has stepped forward and put the folded deed on the stone platform in front of the Kimp Fink Order, and the deed of each family has a family coat of arms lacquer seal on it, and the deed has a family crest ink seal, which can never be faked, so the representatives of each family put down the deed and turned around and left, waiting for the opening of the bid.
Everything was normal, except for the order, his eyes were always staring at the stone platform in front of him, and he did not make eye contact with the representative of the family who handed over the deed.
Probably to avoid suspicion, after all, this time the bid is very special, although I don't know the specific price, but there is absolutely no such a high-priced subject matter in the history of Ha and Siyuan, there should not even be Sakai, if it is put in a specific range, even Tietie is the first in the empire. Therefore, the representatives of the various families unanimously chose this understanding.
There are many family representatives who came today, and there are 400 people who are qualified to sit in front of the stone platform, which means that at least 100 families are present, of course, most of them are not bidding, and they are not even from the vicinity of Hajisiyuan, just to come and see the excitement by participating in the festival.
There were a lot of people in the audience, but there were only five deeds on the stage.
Even if you don't look at the deed, the hundreds of people in the audience who are watching the excitement have long recognized who went up to hand in the deed.
Of course, the Gaotanambaf family and the Gulim family have made friends, and the Polun family and the Ishecheha family have also made friends, which are said to be second only to the first two families, and most people will not object. But since the Gaotanambaf and the Gulim family have made a move, there is little hope for them, and most people will not object to this. It was the last one, and the Senchaiba family actually handed over the deed, and almost all of the more than 100 families present were surprised.
Just looking at this family name, you can guess that the ancestral origin of this family is within the borders of the empire, and it should come from the Kaikaisha alliance, in fact, it is not wrong, the Senchaiba family was a general two generations ago, and it is said that the treatment of the general is generally not very good, but because this is quite high in the Kaikaisha alliance, he also arranged the treatment of the deputy secretary in the imperial capital, and the second-class Ji was titled as a nobleman, and he was not given a real position, and the fief was also arranged in the imperial capital. This is quite a good treatment for generals, but there are no real nobles, that is, such a thing, decline is inevitable.
But no one expected that this Sen Chai Ba Ji was quite good at giving birth, not only gave birth to seven or eight children, but also quite capable, the eldest son mixed quite well in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, and made a lot of courtiers' children, but when he succeeded to the throne, he actually mixed up a real job and became the head of Sakai, and the family was also transferred to Jidan Kuankai. As for the youngest son, everyone is not familiar with him, and it is said that he has the talent of a mage, and he graduated from the Bogolei Imperial Magic Academy and became a mage.
The current generation of Sen Chaiba is a little bit more than his old man, and he is only the head of the army now, but he is not very old, and there may be no room for improvement in the future. Even if he can't, he can still count on the next generation to fight, so the nobility will be stable for the next fifty years. However, for the time being, a nobleman in a state like the Sen Chaiba family is in the middle of the range in Jidan Kanskai, and it is not at all comparable to the other four families.
Therefore, when everyone saw that the Senchaiba family actually stepped forward to submit the deed, this accident went without saying, and even the Hayan Dov family did not participate in the bidding.
The Hayandov family is recognized as the No. 1 clan in Sakai, but the No. 1 clan does not mean that they have to compete for the first place in everything. In particular, the current market situation of the Hayandov family is not very good, and it may not be able to rob those new nobles by robbing hard, so why bother to lose face? This is quite understandable to everyone.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the order on the stage didn't care about it, and the gavel rang three times, which meant that the time for handing in the deed was over, and the total was the five copies in front of him.
Although the opening sentence of the order is long, there is no nonsense in the middle, and when you pick up those deeds and open the paint seal, you will start to sing the price.
"The Polun family, bid 85,000 Bolin silver, pay 30,000 first, and pay the rest in three years. β
The voice of discussion in the audience was booming for a while.
Although he had been mentally prepared for the fact that this small piece of land would inevitably be sold at a sky-high price, the first price was 85,000 polin silver, which still stimulated everyone on the scene.
The most irritated of them all was Grand Priest Pivontu, who had been half-clasped with his eyelids half-closed, and he almost opened his eyes immediately. Fortunately, he didn't, otherwise everyone would have noticed his surprised eyes.
The price of this land is 85,000 polin silver? How big does this land have to be? Is there such a big wasteland in Ha Ji Si Yuan? Are the people of this Polun family shaking or crazy?
However, it soon turned out that the people of the Polun family were neither crazy nor trembling, but soft.
"The Ixuecheha family offered eighty-eight thousand polin silver, and paid thirty-five thousand in advance, and the rest was paid in three years. β
"The Gulim family, the price is 100,000 polin silver, pay 50,000 first, and pay off the rest within three years. β
The bids were higher than the other, and at this time, Grand Priest Pifengtu completely understood that there must be something very valuable in this land.
He regretted it, that bastard was also a secular priest, why didn't he mention it? These fools! He was annoyed in his heart, but he completely forgot that his priest brother was directly or indirectly sent by him to work for this big temple sacrifice, how could he have the leisure to care about this!
Of course, what he regrets is not that he didn't know how to do it first, as a transcendent and extraordinarily high priest, he is not suitable for engaging in these worldly things, but he can charge more money for the supervision certificate, the subject of 100,000 polin silver, I should take 10,000, at least not less than 500 emperors as gold.
He just regretted it again, and it was too late to say anything now, because the order was still being read.
"The Gaodan Nanbaf family offered a hundred thousand polin silver, paid fifty thousand in advance, and paid the rest within two years. β
The victory and defeat have been divided, although the total price of the Gaodanambaf family and the Gulim family is the same, but when the total price is the same, it depends on who has more cash for the down payment, and who pays off the balance the fastest in the case of the same down payment, which is the custom, and the Gaodanambaf family promises to pay it off within two years, which is naturally faster than the three years of the Gulim family, so this piece of land is the Gaodanambaf family.
Julu and the others knew that they had won long before they made their own bid, so when hundreds of eyes were focused on them at the scene, Julu of course enjoyed this moment of great joy and satisfaction with a smile, and even Li Duma, who had always been calm, couldn't help but smile slightly.
Around them, the people of the friendly families had even stood up to congratulate them on their winning bid, while the less friendly ones were ready to leave the side hall.
At this time, the order silently picked up the fifth deed.
"yes, there's another one that hasn't been priced. β
"What if they don't sing, in terms of the strength of that family, can they compare with the Gaotanambafu family? I think they bid up to 50,000 yuan, and they can't make up more. β
This short and small sentence immediately aroused all kinds of ill-intentioned laughter - the descending general family will never escape the contempt of other families, and this is not something that can be changed by how many generations of your family has passed.
In the face of all kinds of contempt and ridicule, the three members of the Senchaiba family seemed to be unmoved. It seems that it is not them who are watching, and it is not them who are laughing.
If someone sits close enough to them, you can definitely see that their fists and even their shoulders are shaking slightly, a kind of shaking caused by extreme patience and restraint. Unfortunately, no one was close enough to them, and from the moment they entered this side hall, all those who thought they were qualified to sit down seemed to keep their distance from them, consciously or unconsciously.
But even if they saw it, it was useless, and no one knew what they were enduring except themselves.
The edict has opened the outer lacquer seal on the deed.
In two or three breaths, he will sing the offer of the Senchaiba family in his usual volume.
Perhaps, all patience will come to an end then.
"Senchaiba family, offer ......"
An extremely sharp and high-pitched whistling sound interrupted the singing of the order.
Yuan Ling frowned, and was about to continue reading.
A burst of exclamations and commotion came from outside the temple.
"Dead man, dead man, a mage is dead. This seems to be what the crowd is shouting repeatedly.
Most of the family representatives had already turned their heads to look outside the hall, and some even began to get up and walk out - a mage had died outside the Great Temple of the Dead God, and this bustle should be better than here.
He didn't care about this, this was not under his rule, what he cared about was finishing the bidding as soon as possible, but when he glanced at it, he had to put down the deed in his hand - even the Grand Priest Pifengtu was getting up and walking out, without his supervision, even if the bidding was finished, it was useless.
