577 times more sought-after Datang silk belt
Fabianlo didn't know how many times he had memorized these things that old Peter had said on the way here, and it was really a rhetoric at this time.
The other nobles were originally surprised by the special craftsmanship of this silk belt, and after listening to him, they felt that this belt was beautiful.
With the exception of William, everyone was hotly discussing the merits of the belt.
After all, although the silk products of the Tang Dynasty are precious, these nobles are not unknowledgeable people, and they have seen a lot.
But it was the first time I had seen silk products with such special craftsmanship.
Even several of the most prestigious nobles begged the king to let them get a closer look.
King Jindila naturally wouldn't be so stingy, and directly handed the belt on his hand to these nobles and asked them to circulate it.
The only one in the audience who felt unhappy was probably William.
Fabianlo looked at William proudly, the other party coveted his own mine, but he had also admired William's forest farm for a long time.
Now it's time for the forest farm to change its name.
It was only after the silk belt turned around in the hands of the great nobles in front of him that it returned to the hands of King Jindila.
King Kindilla smiled and said, "It seems that there was a bet between Count William and Count Fabianolo just now. ”
His words made everyone look at the two of them again.
King Kindira continued: "I don't think it's fair to let everyone vote. ”
As if grasping at a life-saving straw, William said: "Yes, this kind of voting is indeed somewhat unfair. ”
What kind of face do you need at this time? The forest farm is an important industry in his own territory, and if he gives it to Fabianlo like this, he will lose a lot of money in a year.
But he didn't expect the king to say next: "So I just discussed with the queen, and put these two things out for auction, naturally the one with the highest price is the winner, what do you think?" ”
Fabiano naturally agreed, he saw how popular this silk belt was just now, and the other noble lords must be willing to pay a high price for this thing.
William hesitated for a moment and did not refuse the king's proposal, firstly, to give the king face, and secondly, this was also his last chance.
After all, although the belt is rare, everyone is not sure about its value.
And his ruby ring can almost be estimated in price, so this is also his last chance to win.
Since neither of the parties had an opinion, and His Majesty the King was willing to sell the two treasures, these nobles were waiting with their hands below.
William quietly came to Philip, a nobleman he knew, and whispered: "Philip, help me, help me take down the ruby ring at a high price in a while, and I will pay you afterwards!" ”
In order to keep his forest farm, he was completely shameless.
Philip smiled and said, "No problem, my friend, but how are you going to thank me?" ”
William gritted his teeth, this bastard thing, he has to knock himself at this time, but at this time, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
"Then the ring will be yours!"
Anyway, this ring is something that I gave away, so I should spend a sum of money to keep my own forest farm.
Philip nodded and said, "Okay, my friend, I'll help you, but we'd better keep a little distance at this time." ”
The two made an agreement privately, and the other nobles had already auctioned off their places, and the king's chamberlain began the auction.
"The first thing to auction is this ruby ring, please bid from adults who like it!"
After the chamberlain finished speaking, several noble ladies began to bargain.
"A thousand silver coins!!"
"Thirteen hundred silver coins!!"
"Eighteen hundred silver coins!" "Three thousand silver coins!"
Everyone looked at Philip, who suddenly asked for three thousand silver coins, and Philip smiled gracefully at the others.
Fabialo thought about the big William and Philip who had just talked, and cursed in his heart a shameless word.
But at this time, he had no evidence, and there was no way to come out and correct the other party.
But at this time, a dramatic scene appeared.
After Philip asked for three thousand silver coins, no one continued to increase the price.
Because the price of this gemstone ring is about 2500 to 3000, they also have channels to buy it out of here.
The aristocracy is not a fool, how can it be possible to buy it here at a premium?
William gave Philip an anxious look, but what could Philip do?
Three thousand silver coins is his own asking price, can't he still top his own price?
Isn't that openly telling others that he and William are in the same boat, and that this is cheating?
"Count Philip is asking for three thousand silver coins, is there anything else to increase?? If not, this prepared ruby ring belongs to Count Philip! ”
The chamberlain asked several times, but no one increased the price, and he could only clapped his hand and said, "Then this precious ruby ring belongs to our Count Philip!" ”
Then naturally, he took the silk belt sent by Fabianlo: "Next, we will auction this silk unicorn belt from the mysterious Tang Dynasty in the East, and if you like it, you can bid." ”
“……”
Silence, the whole venue is silent, everyone is you look at me, I look at you.
Big William is also stunned, is this thing just something that everyone just likes?
But at this moment, Archduke John spoke: "I will give you five thousand silver coins!" ”
William is stupid directly, this starting price is higher than his own ruby, what else is there to compare with later?
In fact, if you think about it, this ruby ring is not the only one in China.
But this silk belt is also unique in the entire Visigothic kingdom.
I heard that the Kingdom of Burgundy next door has a copy.
The aristocrats had a soft spot for this unique thing, and John spoke up loudly, and the others also demanded more.
"I'll give you five thousand five hundred silver coins!!"
"I'll give you six thousand five hundred silver coins!"
"Grand Duke Charles bids eight thousand silver coins!"
Those who could participate in the bidding were all dukes and two or three marquises.
As for the earls with the largest number, they can only be seen from the side.
Not to mention that those dukes and marquis can't afford to offend, even in terms of financial resources, they are far behind.
"I'll give you a hundred gold coins!" At this time Archduke John shouted.
One hundred gold coins is ten thousand silver coins.
Hearing his bid, the other people's bidding also came to an abrupt end.
The dukes looked at each other and finally chose to give up.
The dukes of the Visigothic kingdom are relatively harmonious with each other, and there is no need to make everyone blush for a plaything.
Archduke John directly offered a hundred gold coins, showing his determination to want this belt, and the others gave it to him.
