Three days passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the auction.

"My lord, a total of 500 wealthy businessmen from all over the world have expressed their willingness to participate in this auction."

"Here's the list, please take a look at it." Early that morning, Han Cheng respectfully handed the list to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun took it, unfolded the fold, glanced at it casually, and unconsciously smiled on his face.

"The Xu family of Huating in Songjiang Prefecture, the Wang family in Zhejiang, the Wang family in Langya, Taicang, and the Wen family in Changzhou...... "These are all big families in the south, and even the Xu family is involved.

"Let's go, don't let others wait, or I'm afraid the silver in their pockets will jump out."

"Hahaha......" Hearing Zhang Yun's teasing, the rest of the people immediately burst into laughter.

Zhang Yun didn't ink, and ran straight to today's venue, which was a three-story auction hall, enough to accommodate thousands of people, of which the ordinary seats on the first floor were for ordinary squires, the second floor was reserved for some powerful families, and the third floor was Zhang Yun's distinguished guests.

Although Zhang Yun went early, there was already a long queue in front of the door, and Zhang Yun walked straight into the venue under the surprised eyes of the rest of the people.

Immediately, the squires who were still queuing up were discussing.

"Who is he, why did he go in without queuing?" A middle-aged man in a brocade robe asked puzzled.

A wealthy businessman who recognized Zhang Yun next to him sneered, "Hey, you don't know this, that's Chang Ningbo, do you say you need to queue up?" ”

"It's too young, not as old as my son."

"Shhhh Be cautious, be cautious, if you let Jinyiwei hear this, eighty percent will take you to prison. ”

The middle-aged man who spoke before hurriedly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhang Yun entered the venue and went directly to the private room on the third floor, Zhu Ziyi was already waiting for him there, and after entering the private room, Zhang Yun waved his hand and let Han Cheng and the others go out.

As the time passed, the sun gradually grew bigger, Zhang Yun poked his head out of the private room to take a look, and after finding that the person had almost arrived, he glanced at Han Cheng below.

Han Cheng nodded, then walked towards Shen Lian and whispered beside him. Shen Lian turned directly onto the stage and walked to the middle of the auction hall.

As soon as he came to the stage, he first bowed to the surroundings one by one, and then glanced in the direction of Zhang Yun, who nodded in response.

Suddenly, Shen Lian's loud voice sounded in the entire venue, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I have entrusted the governor to Ning Bo, who is responsible for selling part of the land in Qingdao for the imperial court, and I hope that you shopkeepers will support you more." ”

"Shen Lian has thanked you all here."

Seeing Shen Lian so ink, many wealthy businessmen in the audience hurriedly shouted: "Lord Shen, stop the ink, hurry up and bid." ”

"Yes, the sooner we get the land, the sooner we can start construction."

“......”

Shen Lian smiled softly when he heard this, and then began to introduce the first part of the auction item: "One thousand acres of land, located in the south of Qingdao, the starting price is 1 tael of silver per mu, and the price must not be less than one tael each time." ”

"I'll give 2,000 taels."

"3,000 taels!"

"5,000 taels!"

"Okay, Shopkeeper Zhao bid 5,000 taels, is there anything higher?" Shen Lian pointed to a slightly chubby middle-aged man and smiled.

"Five thousand taels once, five thousand two times, five thousand taels ......"

"6,000 taels." Before Shen Lian finished shouting for the third time, a voice came from Zhang Yun's private room.

Shen Lian looked for prestige, and when he saw that it was Zhang Yun's private room, his eyes flashed a trace of panic, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Okay, the distinguished guest on the third floor bid 6,000 taels, is there anything higher?"

Earlier, the fat man gritted his teeth and shouted: "7,000 taels!" ”

"8,000 taels!"

"Nine thousand taels." The fat man gritted his teeth in anger.

At this time, Zhang Yun stopped shouting, and finally the fat man auctioned the land at a price of 9 taels per mu. Everyone around thought that this price was very high, but they didn't know that this was the lowest price for the conference.

"The second piece of land, currently located on the side of Qingdao Wharf, covers an area of 2,000 acres, with a starting price of 1 tael of silver."

"Twenty thousand taels!" As soon as Shen Lian introduced, there was an immediate sound from the private room on the second floor.

20,000 taels scared away the spectators on the first floor, and people speculated about the identity of the person.

Not long after the words fell, a voice came from another private room on the second floor, "Twenty-two thousand taels." ”

"Twenty-four thousand taels."

"Brother Wang, I ask you to raise your noble hand, my Wen family only shoots this piece of land."

After shouting, no one continued to bid, Shen Lian was about to announce the ownership of the land, and Zhang Yun's private room sounded again: "Twenty-six thousand taels." ”

A voice came from the Wen family's box, "This friend, I am Wenhua of the Zhuzhou Wen family, and I would like to ask this friend to make it easier." ”

Zhang Yun in the box heard this, chuckled, and then an undoubted voice came from the box: "The one with the highest price wins." ”

"Bang!" Wen Hua heard this, and slapped him directly on the table, his face was gloomy as water, so frightened that the people who were traveling with him didn't dare to speak, for fear of touching his brow.

However, he was determined to get this land, so he had to grit his teeth and shout: "Twenty-eight thousand taels!" ”

"Brother Wen is magnificent, and he is willing to bow down." After shouting, Zhang Yun stopped talking.

Wenhua's face was even more gloomy, but fortunately, he finally got the land. The next auction of land is large and small, but the price is not less than 10 taels.

The atmosphere of the whole auction hall was wave after wave, gradually reaching a climax, and finally the finale was a piece of land located in the most central area of Qingdao, a total of 5,000 acres. Although it has not yet been developed, it will definitely be promising in the future.

"Guys, shall we begin?" This time, Shen Lian did not shout out the low price, and directly asked the merchants to quote.

"Eighty thousand taels!"

"Ninety thousand taels!"

“......”

As the numbers went up, so did the shouting. There were only a few sounds, and in the end, the price shouted all the way to 150,000 taels, which was beyond Zhang Yun's expectations.

"One hundred and fifty thousand two times, one hundred hundred thousand two times, one hundred and fifty thousand two three times."

"Bang bang bang..." Shen Lian excitedly knocked the hammer in his hand, and then shouted loudly: "This land will belong to the Wang family master." ”

After the climax, the rest of the auction was a little boring, and Zhang Yun was about to get up when he saw Zhu Ziyi's eyes wide and staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yun stepped forward and stroked her face.

"You..., how much money do you make here?"

"It's not much, it's only hundreds of thousands, after all, this place belongs to the imperial court, and I am running errands for the emperor."

Zhu Ziyi glanced at Zhang Yun angrily, and secretly slandered in his heart: "It's only hundreds of thousands of taels, if this is exchanged for silver, it is estimated that it will be piled up into a small mountain." ”

But when he thought that he could make so much money, a smile appeared on Zhu Ziyi's face.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Yun saw her smile with bad intentions, and suddenly felt bad.

Zhu Ziyi hooked Zhang Yun's neck, exhaled like a land, and said, "Then how much are you going to give to my slave family?" ”

The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.

"I'll give you as much as you want."

After that, Zhang Yun was about to make the next move.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency." A sudden shout came from outside, interrupting the two. Zhang Yun showed a sense of annoyance on his face, and secretly scolded this guy in his heart for coming at the wrong time.

"Poof." Zhu Ziyi couldn't help but snort when he saw Zhang Yun's appearance.

"Let's go, we'll talk about it in the evening."

Zhang Yun kissed her on the face, and walked out of the private room quickly.

"What's the matter? Do you have to say it now? ”

Han Cheng was a little excited, and even his voice trembled, "My lord, do you know how much of this 100,000 mu of land was sold?" ”

"More than 1 million, what's this?" Zhang Yun's face was flat, as if he had expected this result.

Han Cheng looked at Zhang Yun's unchanged appearance, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Yun even more.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yun directly decided where to go for this batch of silver taels, "Take out 100,000 taels as Qingdao's daily reserve silver taels, and pull the rest back to the capital for me." ”

Han Cheng smiled and asked, "Then how much should we keep this time?" ”

Zhang Yun thought for a while and slowly spoke: "Oh, by the way, take out another 200,000 taels for the military salary of the Changning Army and the wages of the boatmen." ”

"It should be about the same now, and the emperor has nothing to say to us."

"Your Excellency is wise." Han Cheng looked at Zhang Yun with a sycophant.

Zhang Yun scolded with a smile: "You sycophant, get out of here, Lord Ben still has important things to do." ”
