Thank you for summer night 628, edardliujun, and west wind Qingyang for voting for the monthly ticket.

The rich people picked the beauties, but they didn't dare to approach the Jade House, they were so anxious that they were anxious, and the day of bidding had arrived.

The place where the tender was held was at the Emerald House.

Chen Yi asked Cheng Mo and said that the government was too small, so it was better to set it up in the garden of the Jade Residence, which was large and spacious. How could Cheng Mo not understand his thoughts, didn't he want to pull himself? He was ordered by secret edicts to strictly investigate the corruption of Zhou Zheng, and it was not easy to leave the right to supervise Yangzhou.

Since Cheng Mo lived in the Jade Residence, the Jade Residence is no longer the Jade Residence of the past, and now it is a symbol of power, more majestic than the government.

The wealthy businessmen who intend to bid are sweating profusely, they don't know anything about this new way of playing, and they urgently need to have a relationship with Cheng Mo, but Cheng Mo is difficult to approach, and there are countless beauties, so they can only stare dryly, which makes them very worried.

When the hour came, the rules of the land were lifted, and the wealthy merchants were able to enter the most authoritative place in the city.

The rich merchants did not dare to look to the left and right, and everyone sat upright, and the only sound in the garden was the faint footsteps of the men, except for the sound of the wind stirring the leaves.

Cheng Mo stood at the window, looking down at most of the wealthy businessmen by the pond, and Chen Yi said behind him: "There are a total of forty-two people who signed up for the bidding, all of whom have permanent property and more than 10 million assets. ”

"You will preside over this bidding, and this king can just sit by."

After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he walked out of the room and went downstairs. Chen Yi followed behind.

"I've seen the prince, I've seen Chen Beijia." All the wealthy businessmen stood up and saluted in unison, and their eyes eagerly fell on Cheng Mo, like looking at a piece of fat meat.

Cheng Mo smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite. ”

Who would dare to be disrespectful? The wealthy businessmen only agreed, straightened up, and sat back in their chairs.

Cheng Mo said to Chen Yi: "Let's start." ”

The wealthy businessmen were surprised, didn't you speak at this time?

Chen Yi was also surprised, he didn't expect Cheng Mo to really watch from the wall. He said, "No." He coughed lightly, straightened his chest, and was able to perform in front of the King of Bei'an, which made him feel honored, and his voice was much louder, and said: "Everyone, this tender, the rules are as public, this year's salt quotation is divided into 20 parts, and the reserve price of each share is 100,000 taels of silver, and the highest price will be awarded." Each person can bid for up to three ......"

The announcement and rules of the bidding were posted on the public notice board at the entrance of the yamen three days ago, and the rich businessmen had already studied it, weighed it separately, and knew the offer, and wanted to catch Cheng Mo, naturally hoping that he could get to the bottom of it, and the highest bidder bid geometry, and then engage in black-box operations, and more importantly, with Cheng Mo, the king of Bei'an, as the backing, there are many benefits, how can it be more than a salt introduction?

Zhao Si was also present, and in order to attract Cheng Mo's attention, as soon as Chen Yi's voice fell, he got up to speak.

"Sit down and talk." Chen Yi was rare and polite, and said: "The prince has a word first, this bidding is open, fair and transparent, if you have any questions, just ask, this official knows everything, and there is no end to it." ”

You've got it all said, what else do I have to say? Zhao Si sat down dejectedly.

Cheng Mo was drinking tea leisurely, and unintentionally looked up, and saw a figure in the window on the third floor. Cheng Mo pretended not to see it.

There was a table in front of each wealthy businessman, and there were four treasures of the study room on the table, and when Chen Yi finished speaking, they wrote down the number of bids, put them in the bag, wrote their names, sealed them, and handed them to their men.

At first glance, some of them are like candidates writing questions, and the rich businessmen are grabbing the pen one by one like holding a knife, and it is also difficult to write like some candidates in the examination room.

Zhao Si grabbed the pen and put it down, and kept looking sideways at Cheng Mo until Cheng Mo noticed him, smiled at him, and said, "See what I'm doing?" ”

The rich businessmen all felt that it was difficult to write, everyone thought, it would be good if there was a word from the king of Bei'an, people were of the same mind, and they all thought that they were dazzled when they suddenly heard Cheng Mo speak, and everyone grabbed the pen in their hands and looked at Cheng Mo stupidly.

Zhao Si was startled, the pen in his hand fell on the table with a bang, a few bits of ink splashed on his cuffs, everyone looked at him strangely, he became more and more hurried, and said, "Lord Wang......"

Can you please not be so blunt.

Cheng Mo said: "Today's bidding is presided over by Chen Beijia, this king is just casually supervised, if Chen Beijia has favoritism, welcome to report, once verified, this king will not be spared." ”

Chen Yi's cold sweat came down in a swoop.

The sweat on Zhao Si's forehead also flowed down, and he opened his mouth and said, "The grass people don't dare, the grass people don't dare." ”

My mother-in-law, even if she gives me bear bile, she doesn't dare to report Chen Beijia. Zhao Si wanted to cry.

Cheng Mo Zhengse said: "The bidding meeting is over, you think Chen Beijia is unfair, even if you report to this king, this king will definitely deal with it according to justice." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, all the wealthy businessmen had to say in unison: "No." "If Chen Yi is really selfish, who will really report it, then only God knows.

Chen Yi had long understood that with Cheng Mo here, it was not easy to do errands, but when he heard him say this, his body still trembled.

Cheng Hei finished drinking the tea, and the rich businessmen had not yet handed over the tips. He was not in a hurry, but stretched idly, got up and walked to the edge of the pool, and watched the fish swimming in the water.

Over there, some of the wealthy businessmen had difficulty putting pen to paper, and some wrote and scribbled. Even if there is a measurement in my heart, when I really put pen to paper, I am still frightened, and many people think that they didn't catch Cheng Mo, and the offer is just a joke.

From midnight to noon, the bidding meeting has not yet ended. Cheng Mo drank too much tea, was hungry, and said, "You think slowly, don't be in a hurry, and then write after you think about it." If we can't settle down today, won't there be tomorrow? Tomorrow can't be decided, and the day after tomorrow. ”

The rich businessmen shivered, King Bei'an, what you said made us chill in the bottom of our hearts.

Most of the wealthy businessmen are illiterate, but they have already asked the bookkeeper to teach a few words countless times, but the words are ugly, but they are not the champions of the test, as long as the meaning is understood.

Soon, it was all written.

Zhao Si waited for others to hand it over, but he didn't expect everyone to look at him.

The gun shot the first bird. He lamented in his heart and said, "Lord Wang, the grass people have written it." ”

The guy went over and took his bag away and handed it to Chen Yi.

Then, one after another, people handed it in.

After Chen Yi finished counting, he wrote the bidders and quotations on the spot on the white cloth supported by two bamboo poles beside him. Only then did the wealthy merchants understand the purpose of the white cloth.

Cheng Mo asked Chen Yi to make such a curtain like an open-air movie in the 70s, which was used as a whiteboard.

Zhao Si sighed: "The prince is clever, and he is really open and transparent. ”

He thought just now that he had offended Cheng Mo, no matter how high the price was, he would not win the bid, but fortunately, he was illiterate, so he would definitely raise the reserve price again.

Cheng Mo said indifferently: "This king has always practiced what he says. ”

The price is clear at a glance, and there is no way to cheat if you want to.

Twenty servings of salt are obtained by the one with the highest price, and everyone is happy and convinced.
