"Today, not only the people of Yangping, but also the merchants of nearby counties and even the state capital gather here. All the proceeds from this auction will be used as private funds for road repair, bridge building, school building, medical center and so on. The prefecture would like to thank you in advance for your enthusiasm. Ouyang arched his hand on the stage, and there was applause below.

"The first piece is a private collection in the county." Ouyang took out a piece of clothing and said, "This is a piece of underwear signed by Master Li, a famous prostitute in the capital." ”

“…… Cut! A group of whispered cuts converged into a loud cut, and the attitude of the masses was contemptuous.

"That'...... The county has a clean breeze on both sleeves, and there is really nothing to auction. Ganxin. ”

Gan Xin took the booklet and said: "The fertile land on the south side of Huanggang in the eastern suburbs is four acres and seven points, forty steps to the south, twenty-one steps to the north, and ...... to the east."

After Gan Xin finished speaking, a man shouted: "Thirty times." ”

It's a shameless robbery, and everyone despises this man together. Ouyang waved his hand, and a servant read: "In this auction, every time you bid a price, you will be charged 100 yuan, and those who have no money to coax will be punished according to disrupting the court." ”

"......" The man was very depressed and threw a hundred cents into the vat under the stage.

The next merchant shouted after investing 100 yuan: "I will give 200 yuan." ”

This is expensive again, according to the average price, one acre of fertile land is only 20 to 30 guan, and the more than four acres of land are no more than 150 guan. And if the locals vote, forget it, a foreign businessman will have a lot of fun.

"Two hundred and ten!" Master Su made a move, he planned to take this field and hand it over to the clan for arrangement.

"Three hundred!" The foreign merchant did not hesitate to invest money. On the stage, Ouyang couldn't help but glance at this merchant a few times, in his thirties, with a square face, tall and dark skin. Seeing Ouyang look over, the merchant nodded politely to Ouyang.

Master Su also went on top, and shouted after throwing the money: "The old decay is five hundred yuan." ”

"Wow!" There was an uproar on all sides, and Ou Ping approached Ouyang and asked, "Young Master, is that person the one you found?" ”

"Nonsense, is your young master like that?" Ouyang whispered: "My trust only has a reserve price of 180 guan. "Three hundred times, when you are crazy, or when you are someone else's idiot.

While speaking, the foreign merchant walked up to Master Su and saluted: "This old gentleman, Si passed by Yangping a few years ago, not only was his property looted, but he was bullied by the fourth daughter of Liu when he asked the county government for help, and he was seriously ill after returning home, and he did not do business again for two years, even if he was a businessman, he did not dare to cross the ground in Yangping. Now in Shanggu, I heard that Liu Sinu was arrested and the bandits were exterminated. Today is Lord Sheo. ”

"It turns out that there is such a reason, old Meng Lang." Master Su gestured, "I'm sorry sir." ”

"Thank you, sir." The foreign merchant said: "Six hundred." ”

"Deal!" Gan Xin smashed the hammer, he didn't know that this hammer opened the first hammer of Chinese auction houses. Later generations called it a hammer, or there is a saying: do a hammer. That's what I'm talking about.

The auction was carried out in a very orderly manner, and Ouyang told Ganxin not to drop the hammer so quickly, which could properly incite the emotions of the people. For example, land is the lifeblood. There are also slogans that clothes will be torn, but the land will not be barren and so on. Finally, I would like to explain that seventy percent of the money will be paid to the people.

He didn't show up at the auction again, that's what Ganxin said. As an official, you have to be a little dignified, and it's good to arrive at this kind of occasion appropriately. Ouyang went to Liu's Mansion, and it was very busy. Liu's Mansion is undergoing a large-scale renovation, and the new Yangping Literacy School is located here. Ouyang Design, Liu Huilan is responsible for the overall construction and supervision. After the news spread, the first phase of 300 people has been fully booked, and they are considering whether to expand their enrollment.

Back at the county office, there was a person who had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing Ouyang, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Ou, my lord has prepared a little thin wine in the Wang's Restaurant, and I also invite my lord to enjoy a light meal at noon." ”

"Your lord?" Ouyang listened to the accent and asked, "Is it the surname Si?" ”

"Exactly."

"Okay."

……

A foreign businessman is called Si Kan, which is not an ordinary businessman, but a businessman specializing in import and export trade. That is, the merchants of the Liao and Song dynasties, mainly medicinal herbs, tea and silk.

"There are still frequent frictions on the Song-Liao border, and only the Nanjing concession border is forcibly protected by the imperial courts on both sides. However, customs duties are quite heavy. Si Kan introduced the situation and said: "If you have good horses and other things, I'm afraid you will go through another channel." Most of the private smuggling has a lot to do with the imperial court. Liaotu Song Zhitie, Song Tu Liaozhi Horse. When the border army encounters smuggling, it will generally distinguish whether it is hostile or not, and if it is, it will be confiscated. But sometimes, even if it is not, it may be killed and looted immediately, and the military discipline on both sides is very lax. ”

"Mr. Si has lived in Yanzhou for a long time, what do you think of Liao Temple?"

"I don't dare to call him sir, but I'm just a profiteer. As for the view? It's just one word. Disorderly! "It turns out that the emperor of Liao is called Emperor Tianzuo, which is inferior to the mediocrity of Song Huizong, and what is worse is that because of historical reasons, there are many people who snoop on this throne. During the reign of Emperor Tianzuo, there had already been a rebellion in Beijing by Yelu Zhangnu. Tokyo's rebellion was self-reliant, and the rebellion was only suppressed last year, but Kim's Wanyan Aguta took the opportunity to occupy Tokyo and established the Jin Dynasty based on Tokyo. Now Yeluchun's anti-heart is already known to passers-by, so he waited for the opportunity to raise troops. In addition, the second son of Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Aolu, also had the intention of usurping. Since the founding of the Liao country, there have been many rebellions, which is also a huge reason for weakening its national strength.

Ouyang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, and asked, "How can a person who looks at Mr. Doing business know so many secrets of the Liao Dynasty?" ”

"Don't hide it from the adults, the little ancestor has a little connection with the magnates of Liao, so he knows some things that outsiders don't know."

"Mr. ......"

Si Kan knew what Ouyang was going to ask, and said with a wry smile: "My father has three wives and eleven concubines, twenty-one sons, and twelve daughters. I'm a concubine, and my mother is not favored, so of course I can only earn some hard-earned money. ”

"Alas...... Polygamy kills. ”

"Your Excellency." A servant appeared: "White Lotus wants to see your lord." ”

Si Kan hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord is busy with business, and Si Mou has also happened to be here, why don't you talk about it later?" ”

"I'm sorry, there has been Yangping since then, I'll be the east, but you can't be hypocritical."

"It must be, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing to get together." Si Kan added very sincerely: "There is also a pharmacy in the next Sijia pharmacy in Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and adults can report my name there, maybe it just so happens to be there." ”

"Okay, Mr. Nasi slow down." Ouyang gave up his hand to Si Kan, and nodded to Zhen Niang by the way, Zhen Niang knew that this was what Ouyang meant, and nodded back to show that he understood.
