So he hesitated again and again and finally broke the silence and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this pearl of the night is a good heirloom, don't miss it! Such a big night pearl is a once-in-a-century event, no, it should be a once-in-a-millennium treasure! If you want it, please bid now!"

And so, after he had preached for a long time, a tentative voice finally said, "I will give you three thousand taels of silver."

Hearing someone make an offer, everyone turned their heads to look and wondered who was so bold? And Liu Haojia didn't reply, just wanted the host to make a gesture and signal him to speed up the auction.

When the excited host saw someone speak, he immediately shouted, "Okay, okay! Now that someone has made a bid, is there anyone else who is bidding higher?"

At the same time, in order to delay time, the host introduced it again! When he had finally finished his introduction, and looked at the guests with hope, one of them finally said, "Three thousand two hundred taels!"

Seeing that someone had finally raised the price, the host was ecstatic and even more talking! Then people began to come out to offer quotations, and the atmosphere slowly became warmer! In the end, this night pearl was sold for 13,000 taels of silver!

As for who the buyer is, Liu Haojia is not interested in knowing at all! Anyway, when this guy took out the silver ticket, he basically wrote his name in the life and death book of Lord Yama! And according to Liu Haojia's understanding, there are many people sitting here today who are the way to die, and dying early and late is death! Let him die with the Night Pearl in his arms, he may be happier!

Moreover, Liu Haojia has put an all-lead lining in the box containing the night pearl, which is already protecting the owner's life to the greatest extent! He did what he could, and the rest was up to him!

After the Night Pearl was sold, it marked the end of the auction! Everyone was excited to discuss today's harvest with the people around them! I also congratulated each other on the purchase of my favorite baby, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious!

At this time, rows of handmaidens appear and give the auction items to the buyers! Then they will be escorted back by the brocade guards! As for the curfew in Nanjing, it is completely useless for these people!

After sending everyone away, Liu Haojia stretched his waist and said, "Report to me tomorrow morning after the results are counted!"

After saying that, he swaggered away, leaving a large group of people to clean up the mess!

Early the next morning, Liu Haojia received the account book sent by Mr. Bookkeeper! He opened it and smiled proudly! This auction earned more than two million taels of silver!

This may seem like a high number, but it's actually a lot worse than what he really expects to earn! Because this time, only less than a third of the antiques were auctioned! There is still a third of the things to be auctioned in Jingshi!

The rest is going to be auctioned in Tianjin, this time for businessmen! Their status is low, and if there are good things, they naturally have to buy them first, and the rest can only be their turn!

Of course, there are still a small number of fine products to be sent to the palace! There are also some that have to be sold to friends and allies at a low price. After all, both modern and Ming are human societies and cannot be avoided! These silvers, combined with the millions of silver that were copied out, are almost more than 10 million taels!

And there is a large amount of income that is not counted, that is, the land, real estate, shops, etc., which are the homes of salt merchants and officials, and there are some large items that are not easy to move. These things are sold for a lot of silver! A hasty estimate that after deducting the cost of rewards everywhere, you can earn at least 16 million taels of silver!

After reading the account book, Liu Haojia asked, "Have the teams carrying silver from all over the country arrived?"

The bookkeeper said, "It's not here yet! Even if you get it, you can't leave Nanjing in a short time! The silver has to be recast!"

Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "You should think more about it! Won't you exchange the scattered pieces of silver for some official silver in the local area? There is a lot of official silver in the local government inventory, go to them to exchange it! Just give more fire!"

The bookkeeper was embarrassed and said, "My lord, the villain has already exchanged a batch of official silver from the government. The fire consumption is given three points! But the little official money stored in the government is not enough at all, so the villain thought

Now, do you want to ask your Excellency to exchange a batch of silver for the nobles in Nanjing. Maybe it's a little bit faster."

Liu Haojia laughed when he heard this and said, "You don't have to think about this! Except for the limited number of families other than the Xu Guo Mansion, I'm afraid no one dares to take out their official money and exchange it with us!"

The bookkeeper was surprised and said, "How so? Our fire consumption is high. also got the favor of adults. There's no reason to refuse!"

Liu Haojia said with a smile, "They definitely don't dare! That's because they're afraid they're just trying to figure out for the next raid!"

When Mr. Bookkeeper heard this, his old face turned red! I couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and finally I couldn't hold back a series of coughs!

Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and get busy with yours, try to urge them to melt the silver as much as possible, but the time should be accelerated." The official must rush back to the capital as soon as possible."

However, Liu Haojia still wrote a letter to Xu Guogong, asking him to come forward to raise a batch of official silver in exchange for non-standard silver in Liu Haojia's hands. As for the rest, it's all up to recasting!

After being busy for more than 20 days, I finally completed all the preparations and was finally able to return to Beijing.

On the day Liu Haojia left, almost half of the people in Nanjing City came out to see the excitement! Because the news has already come out, it is said that this time the commander of the Jinyi Guard will personally escort the confiscated silver back to Beijing. There are millions of taels of silver, and there are a lot of treasures!

You must know that in the era of the Ming Dynasty, there was basically no concept of secrecy. The officers and soldiers who participated in the raid will brag about what they have experienced as seniority! The officials who handle it will also use it as a talking point. As for the servants who followed their master into the auction, they even showed off to others what they had seen and heard that day. Even the porters who carried it would boast about how many boxes of silver they had carried in a given day!

Under the propaganda of many people, everyone knew that the silver transported back to Jingshi this time would be an astronomical amount! So they were driven by curiosity to come and see the fun! So on the way from the barracks where the silver was stored to the wharf of the Yangtze River, it can be described as a sea of people!

If it weren't for the fact that there were soldiers every few steps to maintain order, I am afraid that there would not be so many people on the streets! At this time, on the way from the barracks to the wharf, it is really three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry! Dense soldiers ensured the complete unobstruction of the road.
