Chapter 126: The Emperor Comes to the Auction House
Inside the Royal Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and was looking at the fold in his hand with a melancholy expression.
After reading it, he threw the fold in his hand on the dragon case and sat directly on the dragon chair.
"Isn't there anyone in our entire Ming Dynasty who can come up with a way?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile of twists and turns in front of him and said helplessly.
"Two Tigers."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something and shouted outside the hall.
"Minister, here!"
Erhu walked in from outside the hall and said.
"Has the Tatar envoy made any recent moves?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked at Erhu.
"They didn't make any moves, they wandered around in Yingtianfu, eating and drinking."
Erhu said truthfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Where are they now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang then asked.
"They are now in the auction hall, and they reported that the eldest prince is also inside, and Yang Xian from Zhongshu Province is also next to the eldest prince."
Erhu replied.
"Oh? What are Tong'er and Yang Xian doing there? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Zhu Tong and Yang Xian were also in the same auction room, and asked Erhu suspiciously.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Zhu Tong and Yang Xian were also in an auction hall with the Tatar envoys.
"The eldest prince and Yang Xian are in the private room on the second floor, and we can't enter. However, Jin Yiwei reported that in the auction hall, this glass statue is now being auctioned. ”
Erhu replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Glass statue? What kind of glass statue does it look like? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked when he heard that there was a glass statue in front of the two tigers.
A glass statue is not enough to attract the attention of the Tatar envoys, and besides, his son and Yang Xian are also inside, so he feels that things may not be so simple.
"The people below said that it was a wolf carved out of glass, and the auction called this glass king, the wolf king of glass."
Erhu thought for a moment and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it was a wolf made of glass, he frowned, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it.
"Quick, Erhu prepares the car to go to the auction house!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, felt a chill in his back, and hurriedly ordered Erhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed the two tigers and walked out.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: I must come in a hurry! Don't be taken away by Ralda.
……
The auction hall was also very lively at this time.
As Shen Wansan finished reporting the price of 30,000 taels of silver, the atmosphere of the entire auction also improved a lot.
"Forty thousand taels!"
Ralda gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Wansan and shouted.
After several discussions, they can now take out 40,000 is almost their limit.
Ralda's face was also covered with beads of sweat, and she looked nervous.
The two attendants beside him also looked at Shen Wansan's back nervously, if Shen Wansan was bidding, they would have no money to continue.
"The envoy from the Tatars, Ralda, has already given out forty thousand taels of silver, and there is no one who can produce anything higher."
Biyu said with a smile on her face to the people who were afraid of the store.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver!"
Shen Wansan said with a calm smile.
"Master Shen has bid 50,000 taels of silver, is there anything else to bid?"
Biyu pointed at Shen Wansan and said to everyone.
Everyone else applauded Shen Wansan, but the three of them looked at Shen Wansan with resentment.
"I like this glass statue very much, and I ask a few to give it to me, and I will give each of you one hundred taels as a reward, how about it?"
Shen Wansan got up and looked at the Ralda behind him and said mockingly.
"Are you insulting us?"
An attendant stood up and said.
Pulla pressed down his entourage and looked at Shen Wansan in front of him, if it weren't for Ying Tianfu, he would have rushed up and hacked him to death by now, but now he could only endure it.
"General, this glazed wolf king is very important to us, and we have to get it no matter what."
One of the attendants said to Ralda.
"You say, we don't have enough money with us."
Ralda gave him a blank look, and said in frustration.
"General, let's take a picture first. Tomorrow morning, we will quickly inform the Khan, and the Khan will definitely support us when the time comes. ”
Another attendant whispered in Ralda's ear.
Ralda nodded after hearing this, there is only one way at present, so I can only take pictures of it myself first, and wait for the Khan to send the money.
"Sixty thousand taels of silver!"
Ralda thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said.
"Seventy thousand taels of silver!"
Shen Wansan heard that Ralda had increased the price, and then he also increased it by 10,000 taels.
The other people in the auction hall also felt the world of the rich at this moment, they didn't understand, although the glazed wolf king was very precious, it was not worth 70,000 taels of silver.
Everyone looked at Shen Wansan and Ralda at the price increase of 121,000 taels, as if they felt that the two of them were not adding silver, but stones.
Biyu stood on the stage, and just heard Ralda's bid of 60,000 taels, but before he could react, Shen Wansan directly added another 10,000 taels, and was directly stunned.
For every lot sold, the auction house takes 10 percent of it as a reward. Seventy thousand taels of silver, they didn't even dare to think about it.
"Jasper girl, I can make a bid, hurry up and make an offer."
Shen Wansan looked at Jasper and said with a smile.
"Our Master Shen is 70,000 taels of silver, this glass wolf king only has this one, and there is no more to bid."
Jasper looked at Ralda and said deliberately.
He scanned the entire auction room, and the only one who could continue to increase the price was Ralda, and told him again about the preciousness.
Private room on the second floor.
"Seventy thousand taels of silver! Although this glazed wolf king is precious, it is not worth 70,000 taels of silver! ”
After hearing this, Yang Xian said to Zhu Tong in surprise.
"Seventy thousand taels may not be able to buy it, you look at it, the price will only be higher."
Zhu Tong said confidently to Yang Xian.
"Master Zhu, do you know that 70,000 taels of silver is enough for nearly 10,000 families to be rich for a year."
Yang Xian said to Zhu Tong.
Yang Xian couldn't believe that a small glass statue was so valuable.
Zhu Tong didn't respond, but looked at the brocade-robed man sitting in the front row below.
Zhu Tong was very surprised by him, so he took a few more looks.
Praise: A small businessman, who is a bit responsible, it seems that he also saw that the Tatars were bound to win, so he came out to increase the price. It's a bit interesting not to let the glazed wolf king fall into the hands of foreigners.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock!
"Come in!"
Zhu Tong said to the door.
"Lord Zhu."
An attendant arched his hand at Zhu Tong and said.
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
Zhu Tong saw that it was his entourage, so he asked.
The entourage stood aside and did not speak, and kept arching his hand at Zhu Tong.
Yang Xian saw that there was something important to say about this, so he raised his head and walked outside.
Zhu Tong saw that Yang Xian was about to go out, so he immediately waved his hand and said to his entourage: "Lord Yang is not an outsider, let's say it." ”
The attendant immediately said nervously:
"My lord, the emperor is here!"
