Qixia, businessmen gathered, heard about the auction here, many businessmen rushed here.

Doing business is nothing more than communicating with each other, but if there is a little opportunity to make money, who doesn't want to give it a try?

Even if you don't plan to do this business, it's good to come here and see the excitement.

Of course, the most important thing is the reason for the newspaper.

At first, some merchants also intended to be elegant, but gradually they noticed that some of the wills, instructions, and reports contained in this newspaper were extremely useful for keeping abreast of the latest news.

Don't look at the official articles above, but if you study them carefully, you find that the hidden information is very important, if you don't even know the latest trends of the government, what kind of business will you do?

As a result, the news of the auction was published in the newspaper, and although it was only a small article in the corner, it quickly attracted the attention of almost all the merchants.

In addition, Qi Zhen here, there is indeed a lot of goodwill, don't look at the reader scolding Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi's business is open, from shipping, to the bank, many are closely related to the merchants, businessmen want to go, to pay for gold and silver, and even fundraising, are inseparable, over time, everyone has formed a dependence invisibly, although there is no concept of brand in this era, but in this Ming Dynasty, Zhang Anshi has established enough reputation, this is not that everyone thinks that Zhang Anshi is noble, Rather, it can form a kind of ...... A person who buys and sells is so small, at most it will sell the image of inferior goods and inferior goods, the auction is considered a new thing, and that kind of auction is unique, so few people are willing to come to make up for the silence, and now Yu Han, who is the same as Hou Ye's small general manager, is busy with anxiety, his feet are touching the ground, the venue is to be arranged, the personnel who are not there, the reserve price that has not yet been marked, and even the guarantor, the personnel who have not yet made money, the book must be contacted by the world.

Coupled with the ushering of the merchants, there are not so few businessmen who have suddenly come, and the inns in Qizhen are full, and some businessmen are coming to Qizhen for the first time.

At the end of the day, Yu Hanshi got up, and Yinzi came to see Hou Yeshi excitedly, and said: "Zhu Jin, everything is not ready yet, and the shooting can start before half an hour."

Hou Ye Shi Shi

"News, what news?"

Hou Yeshi was surprised, and Yu Han said: I heard that the imperial court has sold all the goods of the treasure ship, "Hou Yeshi said: ^"We are selling slower than you?" "

That really made Yu Hanshi feel uneasy.

Yinzi said: "It is said that it was sold for 170,000 taels of silver... Big worry one... If the news gets out, the goods we auction ......"

"The price is so high?"

Hou Yeshi was taken aback, to be honest, Hou Yeshi thought that it was a luxury brought by a treasure ship of nearly a hundred ships, but it was only sold for 170,000 taels.

To put it mildly, even if the freight is enough, it is a rare sound of goods transported thousands of times across the ocean.

And...... Whether it is spices, ivory, rhino horn, or a small number of Western specialties, the original price in the market is as special as gold, even if the goods brought in less at that time will push up the price, but only sold for 170,000 taels... It was Hou Ye Shitan who imagined it.

During the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, because there was no maritime ban, a small number of Arab merchants and Han merchants engaged in maritime trade, and transported a small amount of special products to the Central Plains for sale, and the price has always been very strong. It's too far to go back and forth, and it can't be said that it's a rarity that has been exchanged for human life.

Hou Yeshi paused, and then said calmly: "

"Don't worry, the merchants are stupid, they will naturally know the stakes, that thing, even if it is hoarded, it will be a loss, it may be so cheap, what is the problem5, although I still know now, it was auctioned by us."

Hou Yeshi has no confidence in this, because whether it is spices, or those specialties, there is no characteristic, this is not rare, and it is easy to store, which leads to its value not hoarded, such as peppercorns, peppercorns, in the Tang Dynasty, because it mainly comes from the country, it is very difficult for Hu merchants to transport it to Xiao Tang, so... At that time, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty copied his home, he copied out very few peppercorns, as dark as the youngest corrupt official at that time, and the emperor copied 400 stones of peppercorns from my home.

After all, that thing has no collection value, and compared to copper coins, the value of the storage is lower, and it is a luxury, he can't treat it as Moutai, Hou Yeshi thought for a while, and then said: "That auction will be successful, if it wins...... I'm just afraid that something will happen," Yinzi raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Something?"

What Yu Hanshi said, I know it outside my heart, if the value of 170,000 taels of Annan is really peddled out, and it costs so little manpower and material resources to go to the West, it means that it is a business that is just profitable, even if Xiao Ming has a small business and a small business, it is consumed like that.

If it is less than a few times, how can the court want to bribe the bottom of the sky?

Therefore, today's auction is related to the survival of the national policy of the West, whether the West has been insisted on, or even for hundreds of years, it depends on the present, otherwise it is a hundred officials, even if it is a people, there will be no small number of people in the West, thinking that it is a good little joy, it is the court to take the people's fat and the people's ointment to put gold under the face, Zhu Di took Yi Shiha and a few guards, and came to Qi Zhen in micro-clothes, I was very unintentionally found that there had already been a very humane hanging a ~ street sign, along these street signs all the way, You can see a small venue.

At this time, it was already overcrowded, and almost everyone who wanted to retreat into the venue had to pay a mortgage.

So before paying the mortgage, Zhu Di followed the flow of people and took the lead in retreating into the venue.

I saw that outside the venue, there was a ~ big stool in disorder, so that the small family was crowded like a sardine, there was a way, there were too few people, and there were hundreds of people outside, Zhu Di only felt that it was quiet and irritable, it was too few businessmen but loved that kind of silence, Ba had to get as close to the ancestral land as possible, and quietly introduced to Zhu Dijie: "This Yu Hanhou let the boat brought by Deng Jian come back eighty ships, and the ones brought back were less spices and ivory, and there was no rhino horn..." Only those? "

"It's not my specialty, it's too few or less, and it's even less of some curiosity," Zhu Di nodded and said, "For tens of thousands of taels of Annan, I've also taken great pains," Yi Shiha smiled and spoke.

At that time, a... In the center of the venue, Silver himself appeared, and at this time my men were holding an iron horn and whispered, "Silence, silence... Right now...... As soon as our auction is coming to an end, the rules, the small family has seen it, if it is still unfamiliar, t will look at it again and again before issuing their charter. "

"Here, the little family has to hold their own number plate, okay, come on, come on, first place the first batch of goods, the first batch of goods, is the next good spice shipped from the West, the spice a... A small family knows that in previous years, one tael could not be exchanged for one tael of gold, but now it starts at a thousand catties. "

As I spoke, I whispered: ^"The reserve price is one thousand taels." "

As soon as these words came out, the merchants above became in an uproar, -- 1,210 catties...... That's tantamount to picking it up for nothing.

Actually, a... There are not many people who have heard about the sale of treasures in the household, but this matter has nothing to do with the merchants of Shiyi, the small family still knows what happened, so they haven't sold it yet, and the ghost knows who took the goods and who went out of Annan.

Although the appearance of a small amount of spices and Western curiosities will cause those things to fall upward, the annual consumption of those things is also amazing.

The last time I went to the West, I still knew when I would be able to bring back new goods, so immediately no one raised a sign: ^ Two thousand taels. "

Immediately after that...... "Eight thousand taels." "

"Eight thousand one hundred taels."

"Seven thousand taels."

"Seven thousand seven hundred taels."

At this time, no one in the hall came together, and many people were calculating the market price of the spices in it.

It's just that... The small family has calculated that there is no storage value, there are no spices, and the price is naturally lower if it has been stored for a long time. "

Seven thousand taels. "

"Seven thousand eight hundred taels."

"One thousand taels and one..."At first, people were bidding one after another, crazy and special.

When the price is getting lower and lower, the number of people who are willing to ask for the price will end up scarce, "four thousand taels and one..."

"Four thousand..."

"Ten thousand taels and one..."Several spice merchants have ended their fighting, we know the market best, that thousand catties, even if it is the current price, is absolutely unprofitable."

10,000-1,770 tae..."

"Eighteen thousand twenty-one..."

"Seventeen thousand taels."

No one was angry, "Seventeen thousand one hundred and twenty-one..."

"Eighteen thousand taels one," the people held their breath, "ten thousand-one thousand." "

"Fourteen thousand taels."

The bidding was there, and finally ...... The first batch of goods was directly picked up by a spice merchant.

The silver is full of red faces, which is a good start, because the spice is... It's still less, a full 70,000 catties, unexpectedly, at this time, I said in a low voice: "You just received the news from Qianzhuang, Qianzhuang, here, is willing to use spices and other things as a guarantee to issue loans, of course... Only 10% of the transaction price is refunded and guaranteed. "

As soon as these words came out, the businessmen looked at you, and you looked at him.

After the auction back, can't you borrow money from the bank and raise less money?

That means...... Qianzhuang gave us at most a small half of the funds to regress the auction, so that almost all the funds on hand were abundant, and the people who did not have 10,000 taels of Annan could not mobilize '10,000 taels of Annan to buy goods, and when the spices were sold, they repaid the loan with higher interest rates in Qianzhuang... It was unprofitable, so when the seventh batch of 1,000 catties of spices ended the auction, the small family became even more cold, and there were no merchants, in fact, they simply wanted to auction it back and use it as a family heirloom for their children and grandchildren in the previous life.

That thing one... In the long run, the price will fall somewhere, and there are few spice merchants who want to monopolize the goods.

Of course, no one wanted to take it as a gift.

After all, a... Sending it directly to Annan is to avoid vulgarity, and the threshold for calligraphy and painting is too low.

And that thing is really involved, since it involves gold and silver, but the person who received the gift, just by looking at it, he knows the value, so the price of the seventh batch of 1,000 catties of spices jumped directly to 14,800 taels.

At that moment, the people who took the first batch of goods after that were happy to blossom, and the minds of many people were alive, after all, the more they went forward... The more goods there are, who knows what the bidding will look like?

By the seventh batch, the eighth batch, the first batch, the price has exceeded 20,000 taels of Annan, just when there was no one to cut cold, Zhu Di, who was sitting under the big stool, sat in place, moving, looking obviously good, even the side of the loss of Ha, the face also changed, at this time, I glanced at Zhu Di with a big heart, through the dim light, only saw Zhu Di's side face, that eyelid seemed to be frozen special, like a stone carving, ^ 27,000 tael..." It's different from beating Zhu Di's heart.

At this moment, no one suddenly shouted: "Eighty thousand taels!"

But I saw a long time, before screaming, he slapped his belly, and he looked complacent, and for many years, he always bid at the most important moment.

It's like a-stirring stick special.

Especially a spice merchant who is stingy and careless, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

At this time, a... For many years, I whispered 80,000 taels, and this spice merchant Jia was even more angry that his forehead was exposed, and I stared at it for many years, gloomy, and hated to eat people. "

Eighty thousand and one hundred taels! "

That son, I've been making a sound for many years, the first one... Deal, many years of low happiness continued to pat their belly, a happy face, as if the New Year, a few people are sympathetic to look at the spice businessman, as a bystander, in fact, a few people know that the spice merchant is purely vindictive, being fooled, but after all, we are this businessman, everyone looks at others, can always be more objective.

But if that and other things fall under themselves, this is not another thing, especially some small businessmen, who value goodwill and face more than anything else, and the spice merchant under the surface seems to be red-eyed, but in fact, they are laughing outside their hearts, they think the old man is slowing down?

In fact, the old man is killing chickens and scaring monkeys!

Sure enough, further back, when the spice merchant made a move, there were more businessmen who I was willing to compete with me, but fortunately, in these years, he always raised the bar just right, although it also made the spice merchant break the bank, but after many years, he seemed to know that he could blindly raise the price too low, and it was enough to reach 28,700 taels.

When I got to the front, I learned that the spices might be about to be sold, and the young people were relieved, and that thing was... Even if the price of 10,000 catties is actually unprofitable if it is retailed, in previous years, 1,000 catties could not be sold for 70,000 taels at most, which cannot be said to be less than the price of gold!

And in that era, the traffic was convenient, the information was the same, and the small cities in the south of the Yangtze River, although the price fell a lot, but in Qichuan, Guanzhong, Hexi, Xiangtan and other places, it still held a low price of up to 70,000 taels of Annan.

Whoever is the first to be trafficked out of this area will get a huge profit.

It must be said that there are not many rich people in the countryside...... After all, the price is transmitted wave by wave, and in that era, the transmission of that kind of price may take less than a year.

^Twenty-four thousand taels and one..."Before learning that the number of spices was not enough, these people who sat and lived finally ended their shots, "Eighty thousand taels." "

"Eighty thousand-one thousand two-one..."Zhu Di heard those, only felt that it was a slap of the record, pounded under his own braincase, but also pounded under his own heart, I felt that my brain was not a little dizzy, dizzy, and my heart was also dull and painful, at first, I sat there, still smiling, my heart said that I was going to make money, and I felt that Hou Yeshi's method was good, very boring, but a quick one... More and more, I realized that it was a matter of taste... How to say it... It's as if everyone sitting there is more shrewd.

But I, Zhu Di, am the only one, the number one little fool in the sky!

Zhu Di is a very conceited person, since many years ago, I have set up a small ambition, I feel that I will open up far beyond the achievements of future generations, before becoming the Son of Heaven, that kind of thought is getting deeper and deeper, but now...... On the side, he obviously felt the changes in Zhu Di, and the consciousness of one... went and quietly touched Zhu Di's wrist... I pretended to bump into it with a big heart, but in fact, I was worried that something would happen to Zhu Di, and when I touched it, I felt that Zhu Di's hands were cold, as if even the blood was cold, and I lost my life for a while, and finally I couldn't help it, leaning on Zhu Di's ear, and said in a loud voice: ^"Your Majesty, let's go." "

Zhu Di is still sitting and moving, for the first time, I have a teacher who has finished learning arithmetic and mental arithmetic, which is the eighty-first batch: until now...... The spices alone have been sold for more than 187,700 kilohans.

Ahead... Not yet, but it must be said... Except for spices, there's nothing else... The bidding is still getting colder...... Outside of that crowded space, people are in it, and everyone is calculating their own income and floor price, each with their own evil intentions.

No one is angry, no one is crying, and no one is annoyed, but there is no Zhu Di, no one... The feeling of 10,000 arrows piercing my heart, I looked at those businessmen, no matter who they were, they were all smiling faces, we seemed to be smiling at me, and that smile was... It is like a mockery, and the happiest thing for people is that he is a proud person who is finally stripped naked and becomes a Shengyanpin.

Or is it a... One such person, running naked under the side streets, eating excrement, and then being watched by the crowd.

Yizha kept looking at Zhu Di, my heart became more and more bottomed, I knew Zhu Di too well, so I was busy pulling the guards on the side, and said loudly: "Go...... Hurry up and invite Zhang Anhou to come, "There is no Zhang Anhou here...... One can't prevent something terrible from happening in the future, this guard is still stupid, seeing the merchants so cold, it is like watching a play, at this time, after listening to Yi Shiha's command, his eyes still glanced at it nostalgically, and then hurriedly went, "What? "

Hou Yeshi was stunned and said: ^"Why does Your Majesty always come to Qizhen?" "

Hou Yeshi was drinking in the front room of the venue, as soon as I heard Zhu Dicha coming to make up for the world, I had a small headache, looking at the guard behind me, Hou Yeshi was very slow to realize his gaffe, so he immediately said: "

"Don't get me wrong, what do you mean?" the guard said, "Zhu Jin, don't say any more, the little father-in-law told you to hurry up and meet the driver."

Yu Hanshi said: ^ "Okay, okay, it's okay, don't delay it first, now people are still bidding, the deal is halfway, if there is a mess, it's good, you just wait there, wait for a while, after the bidding, and then go to see the driver." "

The Praetorian Guard hesitated, "Can that be done?"

Hou Yeshi said arrogantly: "The rest is understood, the transaction is messed up, the happiest thing is not Your Majesty, the faux pas are weaker than the money earned."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and actually felt very unreasonable, at this time, Hou Yeshi said again: ^ "That's right, he will find you very slowly later, when you go, you should be just right, preferably, before the auction starts, he happens to find you after a stick of incense, and then you rush over panting, so that the face of the saint is saved, and we also seem to be dedicated," the guard smiled bitterly: "Zhu Jin, humble ...... Yu Hanshi glared at me and said, "Who let him bully the king!"

Into the fucking one... Come on, fork that guy out, let me find you again, like that... It's a bully, right? "

Praetorian Guard:.

"Shiyi thought about it one by one, but I also figured it out, and said with a mocking appearance: "Understood, let's look for this humble level."

Hou Yeshi was so slow that he got it: "Old Seven, Old Seven..." Zhu Yong on the side got down: "Here, here, little brother, what's wrong?"

Hou Yeshi said anxiously: "Hurry up and pull Qiu Song out of the auction hall for you, Your Majesty is also here, Qiu Song's guy a... Here, you are the first in the world," Zhu Yong suddenly realized: "1 Oh, oh, it's still the little brother who thinks about it thoroughly, so I'll go," and waited for a while... Seeing that today's auction was less, Hou Yeshi cheered up, took off his shoes first, and then pulled his placket to make his clothes look a little messy, and wiped a handful of long hair in front of him, so that the bun was loose and loose, and then he ran to the auction hall in a hurry.

Xu Shao Shangjia, before starting, was still unsatisfied, eight v'eight two came out, Hou Yeshi waited at the door, but after a long time saw Zhu Di come out, he took Zhang and retreated from the venue.

Outside the venue, the merchants who made the deal had already been invited to other places to make up the deed, and the balance was paid, and the merchants who had not bought it were gone, and outside the empty venue, there were only a few shadows, and a few shadows were surrounded by stars and moons, and this person was sitting outside the dim venue, and the slightest was moving.

Hou Yeshi hurriedly got down barefoot and said: ^ "The person sitting under the stool is still moving.

Yu Hanshi raised his head strangely, Zhu Di saw that Yu Hanshi was dressed neatly, and saw me barefoot, but at that time, his hard face became a little bit of a world: "What does it look like?"

I aha..."Yu Hanshi immediately said: "Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, ministers...... A minister...... didn't lose his courtesy, the sin of ten thousand deaths..."^Reason to go," Zhu Di's voice was not a little hoarse, and Hou Yeshi hurriedly nodded: "Yes, it's a... The minister went, "combed up, and returned to the venue, the guards had already left Zhu Di and guarded the venue."

Only did not lose Ha standing silently, like a wood carving, accompanying Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Di looked worried, and when he said it, Yu Aoshi didn't understand it, so he said with concern; "Your Majesty..."Zhu Di nodded vigorously.

But there was a voice in response, and Hou Yeshi looked at Yi Lost with a big heart.

Yi Lost Ha glanced at Hou Yeshi to shut up, Hou Yeshi understood, and stood respectfully, but Zhu Di suddenly stood up, paced a few steps, and suddenly sighed heavily, I only then turned my head to look at Hou Yeshi and said: "Today's auction, what is sold is only spices, he knows a... Did you sell less than Annam? "

Hou Yeshi said truthfully: ^"Minister...... I haven't read the accounts yet, I'll be a little later..."^" I'll tell him. "

Zhu Di said in a fierce tone: "A total of one hundred and eighty-seven thousand one hundred and one hundred taels of silver..." Not so little! "

Yu Hanshi said, who knew that Zhu Di then said: "That's just spices, tomorrow, there are no various curiosities, and there are no two in the future, right?"

Hou Ye Shi said: "Yes, the first one is an appetizer, and there may be fewer businessmen attracted tomorrow, of course, the actual effect, the minister still knows one..."Zhu Di nodded: "It's difficult, those businessmen, -- thousands of catties of spices, even if it's 'ten thousand or two Annan, it is also a pleasure to grab," Hou Ye Shi said: "Shang Jia Tuli, so we are the most price and the most sensitive, since we dare to 'ten thousand taels of more than Han collection, so the world... Those people don't have their own retail channels, to ensure that they can earn back, and they can also make a lot of profits, in fact, the minister also knows the price of spices very well, how to inquire, it is because they understand, so they opened the auction, after all, the merchants understand," Zhu Di looked at Yu Hanshi tightly at this time, and said: "This he said, will he be a person, and like him, he knows everything about the price of spices and Western specialties?" "

Yu Hanshi thought for a while and said: "That's easy to say, although the minister understands how much the price is, he also knows that it is a rarity, and it is a rare thing on weekdays. Abnormal people are used to play.

Not a word, a good one... I've eaten pork and seen pigs run, right? "

Although the emperor's surname is Zhu, it was during that period that the Ming Dynasty did not shy away from pigs.

It's only not in the Zhengde years, Emperor Zhengde feels that they are always pigs, pigs seem to be scolding me, so he ordered someone to change the pig to a dolphin, of course, that kind of change is only at the official level, often used in holy decrees and official documents, as for how to call the abnormal people, this is within the Fan Yan of the change, Zhu Di listened, and said: "What does he mean is that if he knows that this thing hits hard, he is a fool?"

Yu Hanshi smiled very heartily and said, "It should be counted."

Zhu Di suddenly said in a normal and fierce tone: "So... One he meant, I'm not this fool? "

Hou Yeshi: sG.
