Chapter 35: This Copper Silkworm Is Still Too Cheap

"I'm afraid there are two reasons."

Li Yisong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "It's just right, doesn't he Tian Liye want to gilt copper silkworms?" I'll give it to him! ”

Li Yongchang didn't understand for a while.

"In this way, you arrange an auction as soon as possible. The lot is a gilded copper silkworm. ”

“......”

"The news will be released to a few forces in Lanzhou, and the speed must be fast, otherwise the bait will be released for too long, and it will be easy to attract big guys. Just three days later. ”

Li Yongchang thought for a while, understood his intentions, and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

----------------

Three days later, the Li family Xinglong Inn.

Hearing that the Li family auctioned gilded copper silkworms, all forces in Lanzhou sent representatives to the meeting. In addition to Fulong Villa and Flying Tiger Village.

The former has a grudge.

The latter was not invited.

Of course, the Chamber of Commerce is indispensable.

After Zhang Dai got the news, he informed Tian Liye as soon as possible, it turned out that Tian Liye had already arrived in Lanzhou, but he couldn't hide it.

Hearing the birth of the gilded copper silkworm, Tian Liye almost choked to death with a mouthful of herbal tea.

It's a desperate situation.

While worrying about finding fault in the palace, I have to compete with the Lanzhou heroes for food, which is troublesome to think about on this kind of day.

I heard that the second son of the Li family in Lanzhou is extremely difficult to mess with.

The auction was presided over by the elders of the Li family.

The tin box containing the copper silkworm was placed on the case in the middle of the inn lobby.

In order to ensure safety, in addition to the elite of the Li family, they are responsible for the surrounding guards.

The Black Killing Gate was also hired to be responsible for the safety of the copper silkworm.

The Black Killing Gate attaches great importance to this escort mission, and sent four six-rank masters to deploy defenses around the case.

All delegates attending the meeting will be required to present an invitation.

After the guests were seated, the elder of the clan announced the start of the auction.

Starting price: 10,000 taels of gold. The price increase starts at 1000 taels.

"So expensive?"

"It seems that there is no chance."

“......”

Hearing about the price, the heads of some small forces began to discuss.

"I'll give 11,000 taels." A middle-aged man sitting in the corner shouted.

"15,000 taels." An old man sitting in the middle said unhurriedly.

"16,000 taels." The middle-aged voice just now added.

"20,000 taels." The old man continued to increase the price.

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that they were so anxious at the beginning.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth two or three times, but in the end he didn't dare to raise the price again.

Li Yongchang looked at the two of them, they didn't know each other, but since they had the invitation, they must be the ones who were invited.

Today's people are all unfamiliar faces, and none of the minds Li Yongchang knows have arrived.

"25,000 taels." Zhang Dai finally spoke up.

"30,000 taels!" The old man was still as calm as ever, looking like he was bound to win.

"50,000 taels!" Zhang Dai said loudly.

"Where did this man come from?"

"It's so bold and powerful."

"Today's auction is interesting."

......

Just when everyone thought that the old man would continue to increase the price, the old man actually rolled up his beard.

Zhang Dai looked at the old man, and his heart was very confused.

"Is there still a price increase?" The elder of the clan asked.

"Deal!"

"Congratulations to the Tongren Chamber of Commerce for winning the copper silkworm!"

Zhang Dai got up and made a quadripartite.

The elder continued: "The Mansion has prepared a luncheon for everyone, thank you for enjoying it. After the feast, ......"

Without waiting for the elder of the clan to finish speaking, Zhang Dai interrupted: "Thank you Li Fu for your good intentions, there are still important matters in the future, can you deliver it immediately?" ”

The old man of the big clan laughed and laughed, "Naturally, there is no problem." ”

Zhang Dai took the copper silkworm, and after checking it, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, took out a few, and handed the rest to the elder of the clan, saying: "This is 250,000 taels of silver tickets, please collect it." ”

The elder of the clan motioned for the treasure to pass through the shopkeeper to collect it.

"Good! Deacon Zhang is refreshing! Please put away the copper silkworm! As he spoke, he handed the box containing the copper silkworm to Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai took the box and left in a hurry.

The rest of the people also felt that it was okay not to eat this luncheon, so they got up and left.

Li Yongchangye didn't expect it to be filmed so soon. Nodding to the old man who had just bidd, he also hurried to the Li Mansion.

"So fast? How much was sold? Li Yisong also rushed to the accident.

"Yes, the head of the family, it was sold for 50,000 taels, Tian Liye probably doesn't want to dream a lot at night, and he may be on his way to Liangzhou at the moment." Li Yongchang replied.

"It seems that it is still sold cheaply."

Li Yongchang said: "I'm still worried that if the price is raised again, they won't be able to eat it." ”

"It's okay, the show has just begun. You ...... like this," Li Yisong got up and whispered in Li Yongchang's ear.

"Yes, master." With that, he hurried away.

Li Yongchang had just walked for a while when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Childe, something happened." Immediately, the deep voice of the elder of the two clans sounded outside the door.

"Come in!"

Squeak –

"Childe!" The elder of the two clans bowed to Li Yisong, and then said anxiously, "Childe, something happened to the Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"Don't panic when you encounter everything, sit down and have a cup of tea first, and talk slowly about anything." As he spoke, Li Yisong got up lightly and poured him a cup of tea.

Looking at the anxious appearance of the old man of the two clans, Li Yisong knew that the matter must not be small, but he definitely couldn't show a panicked appearance.

What's more, it's just a colleague chamber of commerce, and it's not worth making him panic.

"Gongzi should also know that our Li family is known as the first family in Lanzhou, in addition to being pressed by the invincible name of the old family master, in addition, the largest part also benefits from the benefits brought by the Li Family Chamber of Commerce." Seeing Li Yisong so indifferent, the elder of the clan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, but he didn't have the panic before between his words.

Li Yisong nodded along with his words and said, "Yes, the world is bustling for profit, and the Chamber of Commerce is indeed the lifeblood of the Li family." ”

The elder of the two clans continued: "The old family master took us to work hard in Lanzhou City, in order to better integrate into the local forces and prevent the local forces from rejecting us so much, so when the Li Family Chamber of Commerce was established, most of the forces in the city were involved, either out of shops, or out of horse teams, or out of ships, and there were also forces with land deeds to buy shares. It was precisely by condensing most of the forces of Lanzhou City together that the status of the Li family surpassed the other three in one fell swoop and firmly occupied the throne of the first family in Lanzhou. ”

Listening to the words of the elder of the big clan, Li Yisong couldn't help but nod.

There is nothing wrong with the old man's approach, this is not just a matter of how much benefit he has given away, but the old man has successfully included most of Lanzhou City in his pocket.

The interests of the forces in half of the city are evenly distributed, which gives the Li family a perfect protective color.

But......

The premise of all this is that the old man can suppress everyone.

It can ensure the interests of everyone.

Now that the old man has passed away, in the eyes of outsiders, the Li family is in turmoil.

It's strange if everyone doesn't have different hearts!

Li Yisong shook his head with a smile, "Let's talk about it, which ones are going to blow up the thorns?" ”

Listening to Li Yisong's question, it was so straightforward.

The elder of the two clans was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Childe, this is not a few families...... It's a few left......"

Li Yisong frowned, "How many are left?" ”

"To be exact, there is only one...... Except for Liu Huishou of the Big Sword Society, who has received the grace of the old family master's life, and has always stood on our side......" The old man of the two clans said bitterly, "Dozens of forces such as the Hetao Gang, the Divine Spear Gate, and the Divine Fist Gang led by the leader of the Lanzhou Gang Lu are all clamoring to break away from our Li Family Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"Tsk, it's cool for people to go to tea!" Li Yisong sighed with emotion, suddenly got up and said, "Let's go, let me meet these heads!" ”
