Chapter 52: Opening 1
readx;? Because a few people came not too early, soon, I saw the official in charge of jade walking in with a team of people, thinking that it was about to start, so he also sat down in the place without a wall, and watched quietly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three-story rooms can provide different services according to the various needs of the merchants, but it seems that this Boss Lei, with his family, seems to be lacking in something, but the little guy told him to prepare tea, and it is also necessary to add more silver.
Emperor Zhaohua's plan is to shape himself into the image of a businessman who is not short of money, although he is only a distant relative of the Lei family, but on weekdays, in the name of the general of Zhennan, he can be regarded as going south and north, and has earned a lot of property, so that it is good to swallow two lists in one go, so as to facilitate the collection of more evidence.
There is also this jade mine, the matter has been ascertained at that time, the government in order to be afraid that the villagers will come to this bidding meeting, so they had to take down the private mine owner, this is also considered to be fast, but the four days are basically dealt with, the private gun room that sells black powder has also been sealed by the government, which is considered to be an explanation to the villagers, and the silver that should be given is also counted as compensation.
At this time, the official on the stage has already stood up, and began to introduce the situation of the jade auction, the jade material provided by the Jiangnan weaving is very small, and it is not too expensive material, after all, this is not a simple process from finding jade mines to mining people, so there are generally few precious jade materials.
In ancient times, there was a gentleman Pei Yuzhi said, this jade is still very popular with people, there are in the ancient books, this week the king of the town of Gui, the public of Huan Gui, Hou Zhixin Gui, Bo Zhi Bow Gui, Zi Zhi Gu Bi, male Zhi Pu Bi. The shape of the six rui is different in size to show the difference in the rank of the knighthood. Therefore, this jade can be used for court employment, and it is counted as six kinds, which is often referred to as Liurui.
Take the Yang family as an example, this Dingbei Hou Mansion is qualified to hold the letter Gui, and that Yang Xiangye has the Huan Gui given by the first emperor, the meaning of this Huan Gui is still the pillar of the pillar, and few people can afford that side of Huan Gui in this dynasty, it can be seen that the first emperor attached great importance to Yang Xiang, however, this Yang family is the pillar of the family, but it can't stand it......
The main jade output of Xuanchi is the common jade style, such as jade carving, jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade ornaments, etc., as for this quarter, the output of this jade is not much, and there is a problem with jade mines, I don't know if it will have an impact.
However, the bidding for this jade, it is said that this quarter is the largest in the year, and at other times, the output of this jade is not much, and it is sold at most 100 pieces, and this time there are tens of thousands of pieces.
"This bidding conference is a jade bidding, this jade material has 3,000 pieces of jasper, 8,000 pieces of aventurine jade, 30,000 pieces of Xiuyan jade, 8,000 pieces of Nanyang jade, 8,000 pieces of agate jade, 3,000 pieces of black jade, 1,000 pieces of white jade and 5,000 pieces of topaz. ”
Shen Yuan listened to the number of reports, and thought to himself that it was normal to have a small number of jasper except for some of the higher quality, that topaz and white jade were relatively common, and it was obviously a relatively large jade bidding, but there was only so little output, so it was affected by the jade mine.
"The types of jade have beads, jade pendants, hostas, jade bracelets and other jade ornaments, as well as jade carvings, jade screens, jade bottle furnishings, etc., jade materials, this tender comes with rouge gouache transport routes can be bid, jade routes have five, rouge gouache routes have four. The official's voice was very clear and loud, even if he was sitting on the third floor, he could hear it clearly.
Emperor Zhaohua, who paid a private visit to Weifu, was sitting on the third floor, drinking the best West Lake Longjing, drinking only the fragrance of his lips and teeth, if he didn't sit in this Izumo Building at this moment, and he had resentment towards these officials in his heart, he should have enjoyed it extremely much.
Waiting for the official to finish reading the long list, and then began to organize the master to come up to the stage to touch the quality of the jade, but I didn't expect that after the official finished reading the list, his voice changed......
"In the last silk bidding, someone won the bid and automatically abstained, and now entrusts this tender to conduct a second bidding, because the transport route belongs to the second bidding, so it is tacitly agreed to discount the route by half to the second highest price of the last business, if the business abandons the route, then the regular bidding. ”
Hearing this, Rao is Emperor Zhaohua didn't expect that it would be such a situation, this discount of half was given to the second-highest bidder, and the merchant was not stupid, so he naturally accepted it, but the merchant who was forced to abstain was miserable.
Shen Yuan asked directly, "What's going on?" said this to Qingfeng, and Lu Nancheng also wanted to know about it, so he let her ask out loud.
The breeze suddenly thought that Boss Lei's wife wanted to participate in the bidding meeting of the Jiangnan Weaving Institute for the first time, and she didn't know much about the situation, and Boss Lei didn't seem to have explained it for his wife, so he had to solve it as an attendant.
"Madame Hui, this matter is due to the fact that the previous merchant may have failed to load the goods within the time limit, or the price obtained at that time was too high to pay the money, so it is a matter of abandoning the transportation route. Qingfeng explained in a gentle voice.
"What about the discount of this second bid?" Shen Yuan knew that this saint also wanted to know this, so why not ask together, so as to solve some worries for the saint.
This is because the goods are being transferred from one person to another, and during this period some part is to be deducted to the new merchant as a sign of appeasement, and then the loss of the deducted part is to be supplemented by the merchant who abstains, which is considered a punishment. Qingfeng simply explained the beginning and the end clearly, as for the dirtiness in this, this is the mercenary nature of being a businessman, so naturally he should not need to say more.
But after experiencing the fat businessman's suggestion, Emperor Zhaohua and Shen Yuan also understood a lot about some of the tricks of this bidding conference, so they quickly thought of the cattiness in it, saying that it was punishment and appeasement, but I am afraid that the price difference also went into the pockets of the government.
Even, it is very likely that the merchants on the previous three floors had already established a good relationship with the government, and managed to buy off the officials and labor leaders to prevent the person from successfully loading the goods within the time limit, so that the government could get the so-called fine, and the merchants could take the silk list at a cheap price.
Sure enough, the firm, which was the second highest bidder at the time, immediately sent the attendant in charge of his room to speak out, and did not choose to give up his rights, and after discounting the price, he took the order for a very low amount of money.
This small supplementary auction is already commonplace in the eyes of other merchants, but in the eyes of Emperor Zhaohua, what comes to mind is the helpless sigh of the fat merchant, and he feels that these people are really doing everything to collect silver into their purses, which is really a misfortune for the country!
Although today's Gusu City has the largest jade bidding on the march, it has nothing to do with the common people, the people who walk the streets and alleys, sit under the trees and chat, and those who set up stalls to sell, are the same as in normal times.
Leaving aside this brief interruption, the next step is for the merchants of each firm or individual to arrange for the craftsmen they bring to go down to inspect the materials of the goods.
Lu Nancheng and the others naturally arranged for the guard who pretended to be Mr. Tent to go down and wait for the results. The people on the stage were probing the situation, and the people in the audience were waiting, eating, drinking, and talking.
After those people had almost taken a look, the bidding began.
The bidding meeting for "Jade on the First Transportation Route ......" is in full swing.
Lu Nancheng is now sitting on the third floor, so the situation of these routes has long been prepared by Qingfeng, and there is no need to wait for the official to come one by one, bidding one by one, the service of this Izumo Building is still very good, so that it can help the merchants on the third floor to seize the opportunity in time, so as not to miss the business opportunity.
Lu Nancheng sat there looking at the jade tenders provided by the general manager of the third floor for the various transportation routes, while the bookkeeper stood aside, occasionally using an abacus to calculate the profits.
Because it is to bid for a single tea transportation route, therefore, this jade can not bid too expensive, and finally picked the fourth line, this line is not much goods, but the quality is good, and it is not the highest cost of a transportation line, so it is okay.
Although it was impossible for Emperor Zhaohua to be short of money, how could the emperor's private treasury be less? Even Shen Yuan and the concubines of the harem had to rely on the emperor's private treasury from time to time, not to mention the transportation route for just buying this jade.
It's just that this money should not be excessively exposed, to show that he can just eat these two transportation routes, if this money has too much, one will arouse the vigilance of this Suzhou place and even the entire Jiangnan County, and the other is that it will definitely attract the attention of the Yang family, although his current identity is in the early years with Lei Yun secretly concealed the first emperor and successively, and when he went to the military camp, General Lei asked someone to help forge such an identity.
In other words, the identity of Lei Yang has always existed and is Lu Nancheng himself, the best way to fake a person who does not exist is to fake all the trajectories of this person's life, fortunately, Lu Nancheng was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy back then, and it was easy to get a fake identity with the means of General Lei back then.
Even if the Yang family goes to check, it can be found that this Lei Yang is a little-known heir of the Lei family, who went to the southern Xinjiang camp with Lei Yun, the eldest son of the Lei family, at the age of thirteen......
Although the arrangements made by General Lei back then can be described as seamless, but in the end it is necessary to be cautious, after all, this is to prepare to deal with the Yang family, and to meet the other party frankly too early, and the royal side will be frustrated in a face-to-face fight, especially when he came to Jiangnan County this time, he found that the power of the Yang family had even penetrated into a very low place, how could he meet too early.
