Chapter 34: The Book of Sky-High Prices

Five books are actually nothing to be scored, after all, these books are only used by them to promote, but these people don't agree.

Here are the squires and tyrants, and some are the political tycoons, if they are really divided, it is not good to give these five books to anyone.

No matter how awesome City Lord Xie is, he also needs to win over some people, and at this time, if he can't win over those who can really help him, then these five books will be scrapped.

Walking to the side of the city lord Xie, Li asked him something in a whisper, and then called Katsuragi.

And by this time, the guests were already arguing over this thing.

In their eyes, this book may not be a big deal, especially for those who have not read it, it may be just a symbol, a symbol of friendship with Lord Xie, and more likely a symbol of their friendship with this emerging political star.

Others may just be pretending, but for these people, whatever it's for, this book is a good thing.

"City Lord, I want this book, I will give 1,000 taels of silver!" Zhu Youcai, a wealthy man in the city, immediately took the lead and shouted.

He may be confused about other things, but he will not be confused at this time, because the purchase and sale of this book at this time is the deepest relationship between the city lord and him, if he can buy this book, it is good, it doesn't matter if he can't buy it, he is the first to call this price, and the people after him are embarrassed to say low?

The lord of the castle will definitely remember his kindness.

Sure enough, Xie Tianming immediately returned a grateful look.

"I'll give two thousand taels!" Ma Dafu on the side snorted twice and looked at Zhu Youcai defiantly.

What kind of virtue those merchants are, these officials know best.

But at this time, Li Chu on the side stood up. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be uneasy, so many people want to buy books, but there are only five of them, and it will certainly not be a good thing if we really have to sell them according to the money!"

At this time, those businessmen reacted, there is still an official sitting here, if they fight with them at this time and lose their face, what will they do in the future?

At this time, they all looked at Li Chu.

Although he was only ten years old, he was older than many people present, and Li Chu did not have stage fright at all. "We divide these books into three parts, one book we will give to the most respectable! Talk about our hearts! We will draw lots for the three books, and everyone depends on luck! As for the last one, ......

Only then did Li Chu glance at the merchants. "We'll do it in the form of an auction!"

They may not have heard of the word auction, but after Li explained it a little, they were relieved. Basically, it's the same as the one with the highest price.

This kind of distribution is basically to give away four copies, leaving one for those squires and tyrants, even if the people here make trouble, they will not have an opinion, even if these people are rich, in this official-based Kyushu continent, they dare not fight with the officials.

But no matter what, this place is Xie Tianming's territory, even other officials have to give him some face.

At this time, it is impossible for them to argue with this Xie Tianming about anything, one is highly respected, they also admit this, and the other is given to the merchant, obviously this is what Xie Tianming gave to the local merchant.

This is a kind of co-optation.

However, these three books are all by luck, and this is definitely for them.

Seeing that a young man with a good temperament came over with a cardboard box, these people did not suspect him.

"There are three red balls here, and the other balls are white balls, so we'll put those red balls in according to the number of people in a while. Then everyone goes in and draws them, and as long as someone draws the red ball, they can get these books!"

The rules are simple, and there's no insider that a discerning person can see at a glance.

At this time, the people all nodded.

It's not that it's important, it's a symbol of what they are insiders.

"Good luck guys, remember to treat!"

"I think whoever wins the lottery will definitely have a treat!"

The gang was very excited, for them there was no need to brag on this occasion, there was no need to pretend to be forced in the old way, it was a lot easier, and now this kid provided a much more fun one.

Luck to get the book, which is interesting for these officials.

The number of three books not only reflects their state of being one level higher than that of merchants, but also a scarce number.

"Everyone has their luck!"

After Li Chu finished speaking, he looked at that Xie Tianming.

By this time, he had already picked up a book in his hand.

"The Liao family in the west of the city is a family of medicine, and in the plague disaster of the year before last, the Liao family led the crowd to treat the plague for the people in the city, and the Liao family deserves this book based on this alone!"

Although Xie Tianming said so, in fact, the Liao family saved his son in that plague, and this is the point.

As for whether others have any objections......

Just look at those people, they're just waiting for the draw and the auction right now.

The lottery process is very simple, just put three red balls in it and let those people draw them.

Those who won the award were of course very excited, but those who did not win the award could only sigh.

City Lord Xie glanced at those who had won the awards, and looked at Li Chu on the side with some strange eyes.

But this last one is the point.

Pretending to be forced! What is pretending to be forced, money is a man's courage, and only when he has money can he be more bold and pretend, this is the common sense of people.

Now this auction is a place to show who has more money, and these people will certainly not let go of this opportunity!

"This book starts for a penny, and there are no restrictions!" Li is not restricted, after all, there are all characters with heads and faces here, and when there are women and opponents on this occasion, they will not repay their debts, otherwise they will not want to raise their heads here for the rest of their lives, these people will definitely keep their promises.

It's not appropriate to talk about anything at this time, at least everyone understands!

"One thousand taels!"

"Two thousand taels!"

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand seven hundred taels!"

At this time, buying it is equivalent to sending money to this city lord, and the one who bribes is called a righteous and bright, and everyone can't find anything wrong.

The city lord Xie on the side touched the shaved iron blue chin, he was very satisfied!

Li Chu looked at the soaring price, and his face was also smiling!

"The City Lord's Daily Routine" was successfully completed! Now is the time to count the money and count the cramps in his hands! Li Chu smiled, and after thinking for a while, the price went up gradually, and now it has reached three thousand five hundred taels. Exhaled his anticipation.
