The red-faced old man took over and said: "This idea is indeed good, but many ways of implementation are not perfect, so I specially invited the virtuous nephew to come and ask clearly, and I can feel at ease when I wait for the old man." ”

This person has a long breath, although he is old, but judging from his previous skills, he is at least a quasi-first-class master, thinking of this, Xu Yang was secretly frightened.

It is said that the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden in the big interior, and today I have learned it for the first time.

Yesterday, I saw that the martial arts of those low-level guards were too weak, and I still looked down on these so-called masters of the Great Interior, but I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble today.

From this point of view, the white-faced old man is also the minister of the Ouchi Guard, and he should be of the same level.

Thinking that not long after, Yu Wanting would be able to break into the palace at night under the noses of these guard masters, meet Qianlong, and then get out safely, Xu Yang not only had a high opinion of the skills of the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Society.

If you change yourself, let alone walking in and out of the palace, even under the attack of either of these two, it's hard to say whether you can get out safely.

These two are afraid that it is not easy to offend.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang said with a smile: "This idea was also accidentally thought up by the juniors, and it is bound to have a lot of shortcomings, but last night the juniors thought about it all night and added some terms, which may be useful to the two elders." ”

When the two old men heard Xu Yang say this, they were really overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "The virtuous nephew is really talented, and he is really a hero out of a young man." ”

Yan Ji, who Xu Yang possessed this time, should be around 30 years old, in this era, he should be regarded as middle-aged, where can he talk about the word "hero boy", but firstly, the other party is there, and it is not wrong to say that he is a teenager, and secondly, the other party is to praise himself, and he may not have to dismantle his own platform, so he has to nod frequently to show respect.

Xu Yang said again: "Two bosses, it's better to tell the doubts in your heart one by one, so that the juniors can answer." ”

The red-faced old man nodded: "That's natural, according to what Zhantong's virtuous nephew relayed yesterday, you can convert the credit into silver taels, this idea is very good, but after I think about it, it is better to deal with other things, but if everyone is satisfied with the amount of silver taels, if the price is low or high, how to operate?"

Xu Yang also nodded yes, this is the biggest crux of this plan, if it can't be solved, it will still fall into quarrels and quarrels, which means that this plan has no effect at all.

Ginger is still old and spicy, in fact, other problems, in the final analysis, are not a big problem, the problem of this amount is the biggest problem, but also the most critical problem.

If one party believes that this merit is worth 50,000 taels of silver, he is also willing to pay the 50,000 taels.

If others are not convinced, they think that it is worth 100,000 taels, so why do you get it for 50,000 taels?

The other party will think: You said it was worth 100,000 taels, but I thought it was only worth 30,000 taels, and I have already paid 50,000 taels, and you are still not satisfied?

Contradictions are often caused by the uneven distribution of interests.

And for this biggest problem, Xu Yang can solve it with the simplest way to deal with it in later generations.

Isn't it just an auction?

Count this credit as a commodity, and whoever bids higher will take it.

If you think it's worth 100,000, you can pay 100,000, and if you can't afford it or don't want to pay it, then let the person who paid 90,000 take a picture.

So that no one will be dissatisfied.

This method of treatment is worthless, to put it bluntly, but now it is the Qing Dynasty, it is the 18th year of Qianlong, who knows about auctions, which are common in later generations, and now even the foreigners who invented auctions do not know? (Note 1)

In the puzzled eyes of the two old men, Xu Yang explained the auction charter to them in the simplest language.

I also invited Zhantong to test the auction process.

The two old men went from puzzled to confused to gradually understanding, until finally they happily slapped the table.

"This auction that Xu Xian's nephew came up with has really solved our big problem!" said the red-faced old man, Etuhun, laughed.

"What's more, old man, you haven't noticed the business opportunities that this auction can bring......" The white-faced old man Su Hetai was excited, and the muscles on the ground trembled a little.

Etu thought about it for a while, and sure enough, it was another surprise.

You must know that the commercial development of the Qing Dynasty is still in a relatively primitive stage, and the status of businessmen is extremely low, but behind every big businessman, there will undoubtedly be a big family to support it, and the so-called officials are just the distribution of forces on the surface of those big families.

That is to say, almost all officials in the Qing Dynasty will be involved in business to a greater or lesser extent, and the higher the official position, the greater the commercial interests involved.

In this way, if this auction method can be properly used, the business opportunities brought to second-grade officials like Su Hetai and Etuhun are simply immeasurable.

Of course, these business opportunities will definitely not be divided between the two, on the contrary, they will be shared with other ministers of the guard and subordinate officials.

But the benefits to them and the families behind them are also staggering for the foreseeable future.

How does this dislike them?

Originally, I just wanted to see how outstanding this amazing junior in Zhantong's mouth was, and by the way, I solved the disposal of that merit, but I didn't expect to get a benefit distribution method that covered a hundred years, and actually got a business operation method that can bring great benefits to myself by the way.

The middle-aged man in front of him, who sat at the bottom and didn't look amazing, actually had a splendid chest.

This time, it was worth it.

However, after calming down, the two old men were a little worried.

Whether it's officialdom or shopping malls, what is important is the exchange of interests, and how to thank the other party for taking so many benefits from Xu Yang for nothing?

Don't say anything about embezzling benefits or the like, being able to meet Xu Yang ahead of others is already an opportunity, and the person who can casually hand over two unexpected surprise answer sheets, who knows how many more splendid strategies he will have in his stomach?

For the sake of a little benefit, if you cut off this incense, you are more likely to suffer unpredictable revenge in the future, how can two old men who have been in officialdom for a long time do this kind of stupid thing.

It's a sin to even think about it.

The two old men looked at each other and seemed to understand what each other meant.

The two have been colleagues for many years, both long-term cooperation and long-term confrontation, and they understand each other more deeply than that of couples for many years.

Often a glance can communicate a lot of information with each other.

Etuhun turned his head and said with a smile: "Good planning, really good planning, I don't know that Xu Xian's nephew is talented, but our two old guys are negligent, Xu Xian's nephew entered Beijing this time, what is the so-called matter? If you are interested in a career, the old man can sponsor you for a second-class guard position." ”

Before Xu Yang could answer, Su Hetai shook his head and said: "Xu Xian's nephew is such a talent, how can a mere second-class guard restrain him?" Xu Xian's nephew, you just have to speak, civil and military positions, which one you want, the old man will guarantee it." ”

Etu glared at Su Hetai, this old guy, the price is much higher than mine, it seems that this Xu Yang is afraid that he will be recruited by the Su family.

It's just that I just spoke, and it's hard to change my mouth for a while. Xu Yang saw that the two of them made eye contact, knowing what they were thinking, he couldn't help but smile, and saluted respectfully, before he spoke: "Thank you two elders for your heart, it's a pity...... It's a pity that the Xu family has always had a family motto, the ancestors left their will, the children of the clan are never allowed to take the official career, and the violators are unfilial children, and they will be expelled from the family immediately, so Xu Yang is here to thank the two elders, and please be considerate. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it was equivalent to completely rejecting the solicitation of Su and E, Xu Yang was naturally not afraid of the other party's anger, after all, he really agreed to the other party, then all actions would be restrained in the future, not to mention that he would become the court eagle dog in the eyes of the rivers and lakes, then, all his actions to complete the system tasks would be considered the reckless behavior of the court to cut off the rivers and lakes.

This kind of black pot, I don't carry it.

And once you are involved in political disputes, how to get out, how to have time to practice the Hu family's sword technique?

I am just a passer-by in this small world, and I really shouldn't be too involved.

Etu was full of regret, and Su Hetai was also a little regretful, disappointed that he couldn't recruit such a talent.

In the feudal era, the most important thing is the word loyalty and filial piety, the will of the ancestors in the family, naturally can not be violated, if you persuade people not to keep the will, it is equivalent to not respecting the ancestors, it is too unfilial.

It's just that in this way, how to reward Xu Yang has become another problem.

The original envisaged remuneration is not enough now.

What's more, if there is anything you don't understand in the operation of this auction in the future, you have to come to Xu Yang for advice, if the reward is less this time, people are not rare, and it will be difficult to ask for advice next time.

The plan was come up with by others, how to operate, how to maximize benefits, and even how to solve it if something went wrong, Xu Yang was vague before.

Without him, just wait for the price to sell.

Etuhun coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "The virtuous nephew's family is high, very good, very good, the ancestor must be a cultivator and a noble family, and it is good if he is not an official." It's just that the virtuous nephew entered Beijing this time, but he didn't know what his plans were? As long as there are a few of us old guys who can serve, even if we open our mouths, we will never let the virtuous nephew run away in vain. ”

Etu Hun plays the role of a rough red face, and he comes forward to agree to good things, in case Xu Yang's conditions are too high, he will naturally be rejected by Su and Tailai, who are fine inside.

The two worked together seamlessly.

Note 2: The earliest auction house in China began in 1872 AD, and the date in the book is the 18th year of Qianlong, 1735 AD, a century and a half between the two.

The first modern auction house was Sotheby's, founded by the British in 1744, before it was born.
