"How many of those gold mines have been auctioned now?" Feng Zhiping asked.

Yiguan held up two fingers.

"Two million taels?" Feng Zhiping was taken aback, nodded after a little pondering, "If the news is true, double the profit, two million taels is indeed worth it." ”

"Who told you it's two million taels?" Yiguan looked strange and shook his two fingers vigorously, "It's 200,000 taels, to be precise, it's 200,000 taels and 91 copper plates." ”

", grab the money!" Yu Daring exclaimed, and quickly covered his mouth, "I, I didn't mean that, don't be angry..."

No one blamed him this time, even Feng Zhiping's eyes were wrong.

A gold mine worth at least five million taels or more, bought for 200,000 taels, was not so ruthlessly robbed!

Yiguan was not surprised, and smiled: "Don't get excited, this is normal, and we are also for their good." Even if they bid 2 million, 10 percent is 300,000 taels, and less than 10 of them share 300,000 taels, even if they leave the Daqiu Mountain Realm safely, but what about after that? There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if we don't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it, and the more money we have, the more burden it will be for them. ”

Feng Zhiping pondered, it is true, it is still the old saying, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life, your own elite is dead, and there are a few small shrimps left to keep the huge wealth, so it is better to hold on to your life first.

"And the bid is meaningless, the imperial court released these industries to fight for the Jianghu people, then naturally it must be done according to the rules of our Jianghu people, no matter how high the price is, you must be able to sign the deed. Yiguan's eyes were deep and his tone was deep.

Feng Zhiping frowned, a little puzzled: "You mean, in addition to money, there are other conditions for property rights bidding?"

"That's right, that's why the sect sent you here. ”

Yiguan sat up straight and said in a solemn voice: "The imperial court almost does not interfere in the property resources in this area of Daqiu Mountain, only collects taxes, and all the industries are operated by non-governmental organizations and Jianghu forces. If you want to obtain the right to operate, one is to rely on direct sales, and the other is to make such a bid, the former can be agreed by both parties, and the latter depends on financial and human resources, that is, in addition to money, it also depends on whether the bidder has the ability to keep the industry. ”

"In the past, the bidding had a clear strength, and the imperial court made its own decisions according to the size of the bid, and everyone could just go through the motions, but this time it was not. This time the Autumn Knife Club suffered a heavy blow, the impact was great, and the Blood Knife Gate was menacing, and the imperial court did not want to see the next family take over and soon become the second Autumn Knife Society, so it was necessary to strictly follow the rules, set the bidding day for ten days, bid openly, and the winner signed the contract document on the spot, and this has a premise - the bidder must be able to arrive at the scene. ”

Zhao Kang's eyes flashed: "You mean, is the bidding meeting held in the city?"

Yiguan nodded slowly: "That's right, the bidding venues are in each industry, which means that if you want to bid for any industry, you have to send someone to be there in person." ”

Everyone understood, no wonder Yiguan said that according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the court wanted to let each family compete on the way to the venue, and the winner was qualified to attend, and if only one family was present, it was not a dream to buy a sky-high industry for one or two silver.

It's cruel, but it's also very tempting, it seems to be fair, but it's actually the weak, and it's quite a test of the ambition and judgment of each family, and the people in the officialdom are really the best at playing tricks.

As if to confirm the speculation of several people, and as if to give them a wake-up call, Yiguan added: "All properties are auctioned on the same day, and the departure time is set at the day before, and the bidding starts at noon the next day." Before that, each company is required to report the list of personnel and the number of meetings with the venue, and the personnel on the list can only be active outside the designated area of the venue after reporting, and it is strictly forbidden to approach in advance, and violators will be disqualified from bidding. After the start of the departure time and before the start of the bidding meeting, the area around the venue will be cleared, there will be no idle people staying, there will be no officers and soldiers patrolling, and the government will not investigate anything that happens on the way. ”

Several people's hearts were heavy, and the tip of their noses seemed to smell a touch of blood.

Life and death are in their own destiny, this criterion is really very Jianghu, the court is forcing the weak to retreat and the strong to fight, and finally decide the strongest buyer.

And Feng Zhiping was born in the Hou Mansion, and he thought more than others.

In his opinion, the government not only wants to decide the strongest family, but also wants to take this opportunity to suppress and balance.

The Autumn Knife Society was almost wiped out, and almost everyone was convinced that it was the Blood Knife Gate that the dragon crossed the river to do it, and the imperial court did not investigate it deeply for various reasons, and deliberately made this case an unsolved case, which undoubtedly fueled the arrogance of the Blood Knife Gate, how could the government sit back and watch it for security reasons?

Therefore, this bid is a suppression of the Blood Knife Gate, and the imperial court can't make a direct move, so it borrows the hands of Cangshan and other Jianghu forces to deal with them.

On the contrary, this is also a check and balance on the local forces, if the local forces led by Diancangshan cannot overwhelm the Blood Knife Gate, then the government will push the boat to support it, and contain each other with the old-school forces.

A small blood knife door rudder can't shake the root of Diancangshan, but it can disgust Diancangshan, and at some moments, it can also be used as a surprise soldier to knock on Diancangshan to show the attitude of the imperial court, and the left and right will not suffer, so who wins and who loses, the imperial court actually doesn't care. Let's have a book

There are too many doorways inside, Feng Zhiping thought of a headache, and secretly sighed that he was really not the material to be an official, it was too brain-consuming, and secretly praised his father for being really shrewd, and left the court early to sit firmly in Quanzhou City, both receiving holy favor and staying away from disputes between right and wrong.

Pressing down on his thoughts, Feng Zhiping sat up straight and arched his hand: "Master, we are here by order, and we should do our best, but our cultivation is still shallow, the gold mine is so important, and the other parties will do their best, and I am afraid that it will be embarrassing and useless to use our cultivation, I hope that the master can send a few innate realm seniors to sit in charge and lead us to act!"

Yiguan laughed and comforted: "Don't panic, I'm not confused, how could I let you go to death." I will personally take people to the gold mine, I want you to come because I don't have enough manpower here, I want you to go to one of the two iron mines, that is, the one that has dug out the iron essence mother, called Xingning Mine. ”

Feng Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little worried: "The head of the Xingning mine has produced ground-level spiritual materials, and those who are eyeing it there are afraid that there will also be innate masters, right?"

Yiguan groaned, "Maybe, but I don't think it's likely." It has been decades since the Iron Essence Yuan Mu was dug out, and now that the Xingning Mine has entered and exited the terminal stage, the output of Iron Essence and Fan Iron is not high, so there will not be too many people staring there, and the possibility of dispatching the Innate Realm is not high, and the other four places are more worthy of their investment. I already know your strength, and you can still use the innate power, and it is not without the power of a battle to really meet the innate master, so there should be no big problem for the few of you to go all the way. ”

Several people breathed a sigh of relief and surrendered their orders one after another.

Yiguan looked at You Shuang'er and stopped talking, the girl instantly understood what he wanted to say, and preemptively said: "I came out to practice, not to play, and that's what Master meant." ”

Yiguan smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, but for the sake of safety, I will send three more good players to accompany you to make up the upper limit of ten people, which is more secure." ”

You Shuang'er smiled sweetly and thanked him, Feng Zhiping secretly exchanged glances, secretly slandering the same people for not having the same life, and the old guy Yiguan was also a master of seeing people put dishes.

"Dare to ask the Master, what is our quota?" Zhao Kang asked.

"That mine, about 30,000 taels should be able to be taken, for the sake of insurance, I will give you 80,000, more than this price..."

Feng Zhiping immediately understood, and said: "Master, don't worry, those who can afford this price will not be present." ”

Yiguan glanced at Feng Zhiping with satisfaction and laughed.

Yu Daring was woken up by Ma Liu, and finally understood what it meant, licked his lips and said with a cruel smile: "Master, don't worry, if you dare to bargain with us, I will kill one and I will take it for him if you strive for a hundred taels." ”

The smile stopped abruptly, and Yiguan had a toothache on his face: "This, it doesn't have to be so low..."

"Isn't it good to be cheaper?" Yu Daring looked ignorant.

Yiguan understood what kind of person this was, and he was speechless, or Lao Dong swept over coldly and told him to shut up, Feng Zhiping looked at each other and shook his head secretly, all of them smiled helplessly.

The war is imminent, and the idea of wanting to wander around Hongxi Town can only be shelved, and the clothes were not turned off that day just to keep it secret, and no one dared to be careless about life and death, and they all closed their doors and prepared for it.

You Shuang'er and Zhao Kang spent most of their time meditating in the house, and Lao Dong and Yu Daring were energetic, shouting and chatting in the courtyard every day for half a day.

Xu Hao and Ma Liu don't show up often, they also chat and drink tea when they appear, they rarely do it, everyone has their own way of preparing for the war, and they are all adjusting their state in their own ways.

Feng Zhiping has the easiest way to adjust his state, and there are only two ways - meditating and wiping the blade.

It is inevitable that there will be dependence on taking too many shortcuts, these days he deliberately takes time to meditate a lot, but the outrageous slow entry makes him really unable to raise his motivation, so he still has more time to wipe the blades, six swords, four knives, one stick, one gun, and a pair of human-level high-grade mandarin ducks, plus a human-level medium-grade long sword sent by Yiguan, a total of fifteen treasure blades are wiped clean and dusty, and it is comfortable to look at, but it is very cumbersome to pack.

"In the future, I will recruit a few more sword boys, such a big bundle of dead and heavy, my back is tired and destroys my image, how can I be embarrassed in the long run?"

Feng Zhiping muttered secretly, imagining that one day in the future, there might be dozens of blades on hand, and when he made a move, he threw a large bag and a small bag on the ground, and there was a danger of being stolen, and he felt that the plan to recruit the sword boy had to be put on the agenda.

When you reach the Shenzang period, you don't have to be so troublesome, you work hard to cultivate all the blades into your body, and when the time comes, you will raise your arms and fire ten thousand arrows together, oh no, it's ten thousand soldiers at the same time, that scene is trembling when you think about it, and the momentum alone can be terrifying.

It's just that that day is still far away, and now I have to rely on manpower to carry it, Feng Zhiping reluctantly classified, constantly adjusting and trying to hang it everywhere in his body, as little as possible.

Nine days passed in a flash, and at noon that day, the group got on the side door of the carriage and went out, mixed in the flow of people, and drove out of Hongxi County, heading to the scheduled departure point.
