Chapter 175: The Family Is Over
There were many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, but there were only a dozen of them that could be ranked. The first is the five surnames and seven wangs, which are the nobles of the family who stand in the first group.
The second is the Guanlong Eight National Pillars, also known as the Guanlong Eight Families.
There are also Shandong scholars, Jiangnan Chinese, etc., but many of them overlap.
For example, the Li clan in Longxi, he is also a member of the Seven Wangs, one of the Eight Pillars of Guanlong, and a member of the Shandong Shi clan.
There are a total of sixteen nobles in the family who died this time, and they think that they are the real nobles.
The Maison believed that the true nobility was more than the culture of the family. Honor, respect refers to status, and nobility refers to the family culture accumulated for hundreds or thousands of years.
In "Mencius", the family refers to the family of Shilu, a famous family of nobles for generations.
So how can they not have something like Shenzhu that shows their identity, and it is rumored that it also has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.
Another point is that they see wealth, the price of the Divine Bead has been increasing, even if they don't have to wait for a while, they can make a lot of money by selling it again.
Many people may not be able to take out much gold, but there are still a lot of people who have taken out thousands of dollars in the current Datang. Especially in recent years, the boutique pavilion has created a group of small wealthy businessmen. So they also began to buy folk sacred beads on a large scale.
However, there are only more than 3,000 divine beads in total, and there are such noble emperors as Chang'an who have purchased them.
They could only raise the price, from 500 guan to 600 guan each, and Ji Wangfu immediately pulled the price to 700 guan each.
The family understands that this is King Ji competing with them. After all, the assassination is not completely over, and it is understandable.
So they didn't increase the price, and collected it according to the price of King Ji's mansion, but after all, the number was scarce, and how could the sixteen families who were living outside be enough.
And it was at this time that the Tianzhu merchant Galava. Shudra put out a message in the newspaper.
Tianzhu was instructed by Lord Shiva that there might be a catastrophe in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, let the king of the sun urgently send 30,000 divine beads to bless the destined people. It is scheduled to be sold in three days later at Auspicious Ruyi
As soon as the news came out, all parties began to act and began to collect gold. Like the three princes, who did not have gold in their hands, began to buy gold on a large scale.
Especially Ji Wangfu, not only received gold, but also released the news that whoever bought the Divine Pearl, the palace was willing to pay 800 yuan to buy it, and how much to want.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the sale of the Divine Pearl, although the people of Chang'an could not afford it, but this melon was very fragrant. Everyone is talking about which side can compete for the most divine beads.
These days, Shenzhu has become a symbol of fashion, status, status and wealth. All dignitaries, men and women, will be proud to wear a divine pearl when they go out. You don't? Then what kind of aristocrat are you, fetishes are only deserved by nobles.
However, the major families have seen the benefits here, and now the price of the Shenzhu has been copied at the price of 800 yuan, and it is priceless.
Some of the divine pearls that fell into the hands of merchants wanted to wait and see when they saw that the price had been rising, and then sell them when they saw that the price had been rising.
It is precisely this that the family has seen this, and the price of the Shenzhu has been rising. Therefore, this kind of Shenzhu family, which represents dignity and can make money, is of course determined to win.
Gold has a lot for hundreds of years of families, the so-called prosperous antique troubled gold, they have experienced several dynasties, of course they understand this truth.
While the forces of all parties were operating, the appointed day soon arrived.
Today, the East Market is more lively than ever, and all kinds of carriage guards gather at the auspicious Ruyi gate. The carriage stopped the entire street. The whole street is flooded.
The shops on both sides were blocked by carriages, but none of them dared to speak out, they knew that they could not afford to provoke the owners of these carriages that had arrived today.
Auspicious Ruyi, it is already full of people. The first two rows are all from prestigious families, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai. and the three brothers Li Shen are also present in person today.
If it was enough to send a steward in the past, but today the family is also a clan elder-level figure. They were also worried that the stewards would not be able to hold the scene.
The three Li brothers sat at the table in the middle of the front row, and the whole table was just the three of them.
"Old ten, don't rob the fourth brother for a while, I know you have money. But you have to let go of the fourth brother, it's useless for you to ask for so many divine beads.
I'm going to buy 1,800 pieces and give them to Aya as a congratulatory gift for the Lunar New Year. Li Tai saw Li Shen's brain hurt. This younger brother is too rich, and if he fights, he may not be able to fight.
"Fourth brother, look at what you said. Everyone is a brother, and besides, didn't you say that there were 30,000 of them this time? That's definitely enough for everyone. Li Shen said to Li Tai with a smile
"Then you have to show mercy to Lao Shi, or you have to buy it." Li Chengqian next to him was also helpless. He knows Li Shen's habit, he will increase the price if he can't buy it, and he likes to solve everything with money.
"Don't worry, big brother, I don't have much gold in my hands. It's a pity that I made all the gold for decoration and utensils. Ay. It's a pity," Li Shen sighed regretfully
The other two glanced at Li Shen, and they didn't know whether what Li Shen said was true or not.
After a moment Galava came out, he walked to the front and made a celestial salute to the crowd, and then spoke, "Welcome, distinguished guests, you have come here to want the beads that Lord Shiva once carried.
This time, Lord Shiva warned the King of the Ring of the Sun that there would be a disaster in the distant Tang Dynasty. Lord Shiva specially asked the king of the ring to send 30,000 divine beads to protect the destined people. ”
"Galava, I don't know how to sell the Divine Bead this time." Someone in the family asked. What kind of disaster is not the point, the price is the point.
"I'm very sorry to all of you, because the golden body we have made for Lord Shiva is still far behind. So this time we still have to trade gold for it, and the price needs to go up a little bit.
Please forgive us for our helplessness, if we can quit the sun, the king hopes to send it to the Tang Dynasty, but there is no way, we have to complete the things that Shiva God explained as soon as possible. Galava looked guilty and apologetic.
"Then this time it's still a pound of gold for a bead?" A merchant in the back got up and asked Galava
"I'm very sorry to our distinguished guests, but this time we need a lot of gold to fulfill God's mission.
Therefore, you must exchange five catties for a divine pearl, but you must promise us when you buy the divine pearl, and when we bring new treasures, you must sell them back to us.
We can pay double the price, after all, this is the treasure left to us by our supreme Lord Shiva, and we can't be wandered to other places. We can reclaim twice the market price. Galava said very solemnly to the people below.
After seeing that there was no objection from the people below, he continued: "If everyone has no opinion, let's start, please rest assured, I will let everyone buy the divine beads, and they can all be blessed by the great Lord Shiva." ”
