Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Next, Li Shimin ordered Li Junxian to send those tea leaves and Tianmu cups back to the palace, and then sent someone to inform the important officials of the fifth grade and above in the imperial court. There are a total of 200 people. He will have a banquet in Xi Neiyuan tomorrow afternoon. everyone.

As for what to do at the banquet, Li Yi's security department has arranged it, so Li Shimin doesn't need to worry about it.

The news spread quickly, and the other ministers were puzzled, and they didn't quite understand why Li Shimin hosted a banquet suddenly.

Among the many ministers, only Cheng Yaojin was an exception. Of course he knew that it was one of Li Yi'an's actions.

"Cheng Chumo, are you ready?"

Cheng Yaojin came back from duty in the imperial city, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"Okay, everything is fine."

Cheng Chumo commanded dozens of servants to pack up all the valuables in the house, count the number, give an estimated price, and record it.

"Cheng Yaojin, what are you going to do?"

Sun Ruyi said very dissatisfied: "You father and son are about to evacuate our Cheng family."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Ruyi, you don't understand. We are planning to make a lot of money. After a few days, we can buy back all the things that were emptied today, and we guarantee that we will not lose money."

Sun Ruyi said angrily: "How much money can you make? If it weren't for my quick hands, your father and son would have taken away all our house deeds. Would you sleep on the street then? Without my consent, no one would want to take my things and leave today. "

Cheng Yaojin promised his husband, how could she stop her, and said anxiously: "Women's benevolence, Cheng Chumo take good care of your mother, come and move it away for me!"

Cheng Chumo was a little dazed. My mother needs me to take care of everything, and that's your wife.

But thinking of what happened a few days later, Cheng Chumo had to drag Sun Ruyi to keep her from messing around.

Cheng Yaojin moved all the things to the restaurant, and also recruited many trusted people to arrange the venue according to Li Yi'an's design.

Towards evening, people came to the palace, Li Shimin figured out the nature of the auction, and asked people to send out some treasures from the palace to support Cheng Yaojin.

After all, the auction is also in the name of the imperial court, so of course Li Shimin will not be stingy.

After putting the things away, Cheng Yaojin took the list of auction items and ran to Li Yi'an to collect them.

-

The next morning.

The Chang'an Daily is published as usual, not only there are various news, but also policies and decrees, and Li Yi'an's novels are also serialized every day.

But today's issue is a little different. On the first page of the daily, it occupies almost the entire page, and it publishes things about the auction.

The first is the introduction of the popular science of the auction, then the time and place of the auction, and finally the introduction of those auction items, and even listed two mysterious auction items.

What shocked them the most was the price of those auction items. For example, a Turkic horse cost only [-] guan. If you want to buy a horse from Turkic, you have to start at [-] guan. Get five hundred guan.

Not only Turkic horses, but also land deeds, shops, etc. The starting price is all lower than the normal price on the market.

The most important thing is that this auction is sponsored by the imperial court, undertaken by Cheng Yaojin, and cooperates with the Wang family among the five surnames and seven Wangs.

Leaving aside the imperial court, the Cheng family and the Wang family are already giants in Chang'an, and they are absolutely trustworthy.

Many aristocratic families, or businessmen, sensed their interests in it.

At the end of the report, it was written that the auction needed tickets, and the entire session could only accommodate 1000 people at most, because the Wang Family Restaurant was large enough to accommodate 1000 people.

How do I get tickets?

You have to go to Cheng Yaojin's house to buy it, and one copy is worth the usual money.

You must know that Yitong is a thousand dollars, and ordinary people can't earn that much even if they work hard, but for aristocratic families and businessmen, Yitong is really not much, but it just raises the threshold for auctions.

If the auction inside is successful, the money earned is enough to cover the usual money, which is worth it.

In addition to buying tickets, they also need to sign a document, which states that they have to pay [-] guan as a deposit, which will be fully refunded after the auction.

Even if you can spend a consistent amount of money, if you can't afford five hundred guan, you are not eligible to enter.

Those who can participate are all dignitaries, famous gentry, and in simple terms, they are super rich.

As the capital of Chang'an, at the feet of the emperor, this kind of people is the most indispensable.

For these thousand people, the admission ticket is one thousand guan, and Cheng Yaojin's attention first fell on this.

"Mr. is really good. Before entering the market, he can earn them a thousand guan."

Cheng Yaojin moved the tables and chairs out of their house early in the morning, and ordered a few literate servants to sit in front of the tables and chairs, record the people who came to buy tickets, and prepared several baskets to collect money.

Following the newspaper's propaganda, more and more people gathered in front of Cheng Yaojin's house.

But they are just standing here to take a look, maybe they are moved, and no one wants to be the first to buy the admission ticket.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Yaojin became a little impatient.

"General Cheng!"

At this time, the samurai stepped out from the crowd and asked, "I'm here to buy tickets, is that okay? Come and give the money to the general."

He hadn't returned to Yuzhou yet, and he had read the newspapers. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to come and buy an admission ticket.

After all, this auction was held by the imperial court. If he didn't support it, he always felt that he didn't support the imperial court.

What he likes most is all kinds of investments. He invested in Li Yuan back then and became a hero in the founding of the country. Now that he invests in an auction, he might be appreciated by Li Shimin.

Anyway, the usual money is not a lot.

"It turned out to be the military governor, come and entertain me!"

Cheng Yaojin finally waited for someone to come to the door, he was so excited that he was about to cry.

"General Cheng, I'm also here to sell tickets."

Fang Yucheng also ran out of the crowd. He was originally arranged to entrust him. If the atmosphere was cold, he would come out to cheer up.

He was about to go out just now, but was taken a step ahead by the samurai.

"Come on! Come on!"

Cheng Yaojin said cheerfully.

Then, people like Changsun Wuji and others came here after seeing the newspaper after retiring.

They don't know what the auction is, but it was created by the court, and the idea is similar to that of the samurai, so how can they not come to support it.

After a while, people came and went in front of Cheng Yaojin's house.

With the beginning of the first person, the people behind do not need to be encouraged, and come to buy one after another.

"Fatty Cheng, what are you and your husband tossing about?"

Yuchi Jingde took the opportunity to drag him into the room and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Where am I making trouble? Isn't it just helping the poor with His Majesty, it has nothing to do with the husband, and it doesn't actually make money. You think too much."

Although Cheng Yaojin said so, he couldn't help laughing out loud, saying that he doesn't make money is a lie.

"You said you don't want to make money, fine! When you get back the thousand strings, I'll take them all."

Yuchi Jingde said.

"You can take whatever you want, anyway, it's His Majesty's money, not mine."

Cheng Yaojin gave him a smug smile.

Yuchi Jingde immediately faltered.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would be the first to use him for surgery.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's appearance of being a villain, Yuchi Jingde almost couldn't help punching him.

Fatty this time is too hateful, he actually hides it from himself, flirts with his husband, and flirts with him.
