Chapter 287: An Extraordinary Bazaar
After lunch, the official store began to be lively, and the people who bought the bulk tickets couldn't wait to enter the door, wanting to see what the largest store in Yongcheng looked like.
After entering the door, you need to have a physical examination, you are not allowed to carry blades and dangerous goods into the field, the soldiers with knives look solemn and guard, the whole store is also a unique cave, after walking in, many people who have not been here are shocked, only to see that there is a huge platform in front of them, surrounded by staggered stools, no matter how far you sit, it will not block the line of sight to look at the platform, as for the second floor is all separated by carved windows, and the people below can not see what the situation is above.
"If you hadn't come in and seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought this was so big."
"yes, it's magnificent."
Finding a place to sit down, many people began to chat about the day, as more and more people, there was drum music on the stage, and the invited people began to warm up the performance, until the time was almost when the time came, those who received the post did not arrive one after another.
Their position is relatively high, and the people performing on the stage have been replaced by quite famous actors, everyone meets and greets each other, and then talks in a low voice.
What these people didn't dare to say was that they all clearly felt that the princess of Yong'an Mansion had a big appetite, and they originally thought that the Zhang family and the others would be able to feed her if they fell, but it didn't seem to be good at all.
"It's getting harder and harder."
It was waving a butcher's knife at them every once in a while, and the knife made them bleed profusely, how much did they already give just as a gift?
The point is that after giving so many gifts, they can't even see the princess's face.
"Be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears, you can get it out when you should get it, and you can only keep it safe."
Many people sighed and nodded, and then set their eyes on the stage again.
When Yan Mu'an arrived, he was directly invited to the second floor by Governor Yang, and the whole process was strictly controlled by guards, and the box on the second floor was like an iron bucket guarded, just this posture, let alone assassinating her, it was difficult to do it within three meters of her.
The three ladies of the Yong family are accompanied, and the new Mrs. Yongjiu has always been a non-fighting attitude, not stealing the limelight from the two sisters-in-law, but it also does not make people ignore her existence, and the scale is just right.
Before the charity sale began, the master of the yamen went up to speak, and at the same time uncovered the objects covered by the red cloth, many people were sharp-eyed, ignoring that they immediately recognized the things they gave to Yang Zhifu a few years ago, or the things that were sent to the palace some time ago.
The master said loudly, "I believe everyone can see where these objects come from, the meaning of the princess, each family has the heart to share the worries of the people, this is the blessing of the people of Yongcheng, today these blessings will be implemented, every object here is hung with a sign, the above item is sold to the place where the money is going to go, and later everyone can bid according to their own thinking." ”
No one had ever seen such a bazaar, and they were even more uneasy.
The master didn't say much, but simply announced the rules, and at the same time announced the start of the charity sale.
"The first piece of sale is a pair of pastel ladies live ring bottles, the quality of the workmanship is extremely high-quality, the silver money obtained after the bottle is sold will be used to pave the stone road in the west of the city, in order to facilitate the people of the water east lane, the road paving is completed to write the monument who came to this route, the starting price is 100 taels of silver."
The people below heard the master's words clearly, and it was precisely because they heard clearly that they couldn't believe their ears, and sold them what they sent, and then used their money to do what the yamen should do, and finally gave them a reputation for generosity?
Who the hell came up with this?
"Two hundred taels."
The gentry and the wealthy think a lot, and those who buy tickets to come in don't care about those, they think that the pair of bottles is not worth hundreds or thousands of taels, and they can still get a good reputation, where can they find such a good thing?
"Two hundred and fifty taels."
"Three hundred taels."
The quotation has risen all the way, and the robbery is very lively, when those high-ranking families and gentry have not come to their senses, the first sale has been on the high price of eight hundred taels, and finally sold at a price of nine hundred taels, and the master of the Zhang family who woke up after the final word suddenly regretted it, you must know that this pair of bottles was sent to the palace by the Zhang family, where is it worth nine hundred taels, just now I have been worried that I will buy it back will make the princess think more before hesitating, now
Seeing that a businessman had bought the bottle and had already gone to the side to pay for the bottle, he felt even more painful.
As for the merchant who successfully bought the bottle, he was overjoyed when he saw the bottle up close, and he looked like he had picked up a big bargain.
Master Qian spoke again, "The second sale is a painting, Mr. Zhang Anzhi's handwritten painting, autumn travel map, the silver money obtained after the sale of this picture will be used to build a bridge across the river between Lingxi Village and Lingdong Village, once the bridge is erected, the time for people from the six villages in Lingxi Village to cross the river will be shortened by an hour, and the same will be erected after the completion of the bridge to indicate who this road comes from, and the starting price will be silver and white. ”
This is the autograph of the deceased old man of the Zhang family, which was given to the Yang Governor's Mansion by the Zhang family many years ago, and the Zhang family has always wanted to take it back but has disappeared, and now that they see it, can they let it go?
A new round of bidding continues.
On the second floor, Yan Mu'an was reading the booklet, and Yang Zhifu said on the side: "The silver obtained from the Zhang family and the Li family before can only barely be enough to dig a ditch and store water, and the government is not rich, and there are many places under the jurisdiction of Yongcheng that need to build bridges and repair roads, such as Lingxi Village and other villages People want to go into the city to sell something, if you don't take a boat, you have to take a detour for an extra hour, and so many people die every year, with the bridge, it is much more convenient for people in several villages, and it is also convenient for men in the village to marry wives."
Yan Mu'an nodded, this method was really thought up by Governor Yang himself, it can be seen that people who have studied hard for many years do have the ability, provided that he doesn't want to be greedy.
"Lord Yang, your method is very good, and it can be implemented, these are all good things that are beneficial to the people, and they are worthy of emulation and learning by other officials."
Governor Yang was a little flustered, and she said that it was not difficult to be a good official.
Of course, the premise is that the princess is reasonable and does not let him be absolutely honest, you must know that absolute honesty is not easy to make money at all, how can he make the people live a better life if he can't get money?
When I think about it, I feel great.
Yan Mu'an said with a smile: "I see that there are a lot of products for sale today, if there is a palace that cannot be sold, it will be packaged, and it can be regarded as giving some care to the people." “
"Cai He, go and convey my meaning to the flower steward."
The flower steward sat downstairs on behalf of the palace, Cai He hurriedly turned around and went, Yang Governor was singing praises to Yan Mu'an, Yan Mu'an smiled and said: "Go back to the princess and the emperor to ask for merit for Yang Governor's Mansion." ”
This is the benefit that can be obtained by coaxing her, the princess, to be happy. (End of chapter)
