Monument Yangmen

Chapter 773
Yang Qi looked at them pretending to be deep, and asked: "Everyone knows that before this, Kunpeng was something that only appeared in books. No one has ever hunted Kunpeng, let alone obtained Kunpeng's bones.

Looking through the history books, there is no trace to be found, let alone a price.

So for a while, it's hard for me to put a price on this Kunpeng's skeleton.

Why don't you let everyone bid, and if I am satisfied, the deal will be finalized.

What do you think? "

"This……"

A group of businessmen heard the words, looked at each other, and secretly gave Yang Qi a thumbs up in their hearts.

Yang Qi's seemingly humble words successfully handed over the bidding power to the merchants and let them bid against each other.

In an aboveboard bidding, there is no way to take advantage of the loopholes and play tricks. You can only rely on the real money in your hand to compete for the bones of Kunpeng.

There is no room for opportunism.

Not to mention inflated prices.

On the territory of Yan State, if he dared to falsely quote the price to Yang Qi, and played Yang Qi with a false shot, he would not end well.

Don't look at Yang Qi and his kindness, everyone here knows about Yang Qi's past and knows how many lives Yang Qi has in his hands.

The merchant from the Liao Kingdom obviously didn't have the temper to sit down patiently. He was the first to bid, "My lord, I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold for this Kunpeng skeleton."

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, the businessman of the Song Dynasty showed a mocking smile, and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold is not enough to sell a Kunpeng leg..."

After saying this, the merchant of Song State arrogantly offered: "I am willing to offer 50 taels of gold!"

"Sigh~"

"Wow~"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sound of gasping, and all the businessmen were in an uproar on the spot.

This is definitely a big deal!

50 taels of gold, some of you here have never seen so much gold in your life.

The businessman from the Song Dynasty opened his mouth and shocked a large group of people.

Some merchants with poor strength immediately chose to give up.

The merchant of Yan State pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "60 taels of gold..."

The Liao businessman stared and blushed, and shouted, "Sixty...1 taels of gold..."

The merchant from the Song Dynasty glanced contemptuously at the merchant from the Liao Dynasty, then looked at the merchant from the Yan Dynasty provocatively, and said, "70 taels of gold..."

"Puff~"

The Liao businessman slumped down on a chair.

70 taels of gold, even if his master emptied his family, he still couldn't get it together.

In the end, only the merchants of Song State and Yan State were left to compete.

The price of Kunpeng's bones soared all the way under the drive up by the two.

Yang Qi just looked at their quotations like this, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it is the tradition of the Chinese people not to reveal their wealth.

The people are far richer than the country.

For example, Da Song, Da Song was so poor that he couldn't even pay off Yang Qi's foreign debts, but the merchants of Da Song easily raised the price of Kunpeng's bones to 100 million taels of gold.

What does this mean?
It shows that people still have spare power.

One million taels of gold is comparable to the five-year taxation of the Song Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that a country that is as rich as an enemy is not empty talk in ancient times.

Yang Qi guessed that there was probably a business group behind this person, which is why he was able to spend so much money.

The reason why this person bid so generously was because of the heaven-defying effect of the Kunpeng skeleton, otherwise he would never have been so generous.

After all, the efficacy of the rumored Kunpeng bones is almost comparable to that of elixir.

If Zhao Defang or Xiao Zhuo saw this scene, it is estimated that several tragedies of family extermination would happen soon.

As the two promoted each other.

The price of Kunpeng's skeleton was finally raised to 120 million taels of gold.

It was the Song Dynasty businessman who made the bid.

Obviously, after the price exceeded 100 million taels of gold, he also began to feel pain.

But in comparison, it is far better than the ashen-faced look of the merchants of Yan Kingdom.

Seeing the dust settle down, the businessman of the Song Dynasty let out a breath of heartache and relief, then looked at Yang Qi with an ugly smile, and said, "His Royal Highness, after our competition, I ended up winning, 120 million taels Gold, I believe that no one here can offer a higher price than the next one. So this Kunpeng skeleton..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before the businessman from the Song Kingdom could finish his sentence, he saw a young man dressed as a scholar entering the hall.

It was he who yelled that loud 'wait a minute'.

Seeing that the skeleton of Kunpeng was about to fall into his hands, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared on the way, which made the smile on the merchant's face of Song Dynasty froze. He looked at the young man dressed as a scholar with a fake smile, Asked in a cold voice: "Who is your Excellency, what is the purpose of interrupting me suddenly?"

The young scholar held a jade fracture fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I stopped it, naturally because I think the price you offered is not enough to buy the Kunpeng skeleton.

What is Kunpeng?
As we all know, it is an ancient god.

Eating meat and gnawing bones can not only prolong life, but also rejuvenate.

But that is precisely the function of Kun.

Kunpeng and Kunpeng are two things, not one thing.

The Kun bears water, and the Peng spreads its wings. "

After a pause, the young scholar bowed his hands to everyone, and continued: "I also came to buy this Kunpeng skeleton, but before entering the door, I went back to look at the Kunpeng skeleton.

Looking at it, let me discover a secret. "

"What secret?"

Someone immediately asked.

The businessman from Song Dynasty looked at him coldly, wanting to see what hype he could say.

The young scholar smiled and said, "I found two horizontal bones on the two wings of the Kunpeng skeleton..."

The Song merchant sneered, "What does this mean?"

The young scholar folded his fan in his hand, pointed at the merchant of the Song Dynasty and said with a smile, "This is why you are ignorant. The growth of wings and bones is naturally a sign of the transformation from a kun to a rook.

If I remember correctly, it is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that the ancient rocs ate dragons..."

"Wow~"

There was an uproar in the audience for a moment.

The businessman of the Song Dynasty had a gloomy face that could bleed. He gritted his teeth and said, "In ancient times, the Peng birds used dragons as their food. We know that... Even so, the bones outside are still Kun bones, not Peng bones."

The young scholar shook the folding fan in his hand and said with emotion: "It's not so easy to turn a kun into a peng. Now that it has developed a transverse bone, it means that it has begun to transform into a peng, and it will soar to the nine heavens.

Naturally eaten dragons..."

"Pooh!"

Regardless of the occasion, the businessman from the State of Song spat directly.

After the young scholar's explanation, everyone naturally knew the price of Kunpeng's skeleton, and they might have to raise it up.

Seeing that the things he was about to obtain were abruptly disturbed by the young scholar, how could he not be angry.

"Clever tongue!"

The merchant of the Song Dynasty cursed, and said with a ferocious face: "If you really come to buy this Kunpeng skeleton, just bid. What's the use of talking so much with a glib tongue.

What's the use of letting you talk about the Kunpeng's skeleton as if you can't get real money. "

The young scholar nodded, and said seriously: "Since this brother opened his mouth, I will forcefully offer a price."

Scanning the crowd, the young scholar spat out a number that stunned everyone.

"Five million taels of gold, what do you guys think?"

"Wow!"

When everyone present heard this number, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

500 million taels of gold!

That's an astronomical figure. Armed with an army, it is enough to trample Song Guo.

The businessman of the Song Dynasty was not surprised when he heard the words, but instead said with annoyed expression: "I'm talking nonsense. I have been in business for many years, traveled all over the country, and visited sixteen countries. I have never heard of anyone who can show So much money.

You actually lied to us here, the most important thing is that you dare to lie to His Royal Highness King Yan.

Don't you know how the word dead is written? "

After saying this, the businessman of Song Kingdom cupped his hands and said to Yang Qi: "His Royal Highness, this person is talking nonsense and lying to you. I implore His Highness Yan Wang to take down this bureaucrat. Under the three trees, I will definitely be able to reveal the true face of this liar. .”

"Wait!"

The young scholar picked up the folding fan and sneered, "You haven't seen anyone with so much money, but it doesn't mean that no one in this world can have so much money."

The young scholar cupped his hands to Yang Qigong and said, "As far as I know, the Nanguo Money Bank under the Yan Kingdom can withdraw 500 million taels of gold. Am I right?"

All eyes fell on Yang Qi.

Yang Qi nodded helplessly, and said lightly: "I can barely make up..."

The businessman of Song State said coldly: "His Royal Highness Yan can withdraw 500 million taels of gold. That is His Royal Highness Yan's money. What does it have to do with you? I just want to know if you can come up with so much money?"

The young scholar spread his hands, "Why not?"

The young scholar paused, and proudly said: "When I was young, I traveled overseas with my grandfather and father, and found a country in the west called the Peacock Kingdom, which can be said to be full of gold.

In their royal city, the roads are paved with gold, stretching for hundreds of miles.

My grandfather and my father worked diligently for two generations, relying on their own ability, and now they have achieved something and saved a lot of money.

Among them, there are tens of millions of taels of gold, not counting other jewels and jade..."

"fart!"

The Song merchant couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted and cursed on the spot.

"If there is such a place in the world, how can it be cheap for you. I'm afraid it will be emptied by someone long ago. Can't we make up a more reliable story?
Gold everywhere?Do you think everyone here is a fool? "

The young scholar glanced at the Song merchant with a smile, and said to Yang Qi, "Does Lord Yan know about the Peacock Dynasty?"

"Cough cough~"

Yang Qi gave a dry cough, then nodded slowly under the gaze of everyone, "I heard a little..."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

They looked at the young scholar, and then at Yang Qi, with astonished faces.

Undoubtedly, they believed that this young scholar was probably Yang Qi's trustee.

Yang Qi was a little uncomfortable being looked at by everyone's strange eyes. He coughed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't get me wrong, I don't know this person. When it comes to the Maurya Dynasty, I said I have heard it a little bit, and there is indeed one." It's a matter."

After a pause, Yang Qi looked at the crowd and asked, "Nowadays, Buddhist schools are everywhere, and there are many temples. But do you know where the Buddhist schools originated from?"

A group of businessmen shook their heads as they looked at each other.

Only one person said: "Buddhism originated from the West..."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "That's right, Buddhism originated from the West. Where is Buddhism in the West? It was in the Mauryan Dynasty. The reason why I heard about it is because I once read a book called "The Great Tang Western Regions".

This book is about what the holy monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty saw and heard when he traveled westward, and there are records of the Maurya Dynasty in it.

If you don't believe me, ask one or two Buddhist disciples after you go back, and you will understand. "

After hearing Yang Qi's explanation, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

The young scholar glanced at the merchant of Song Dynasty with a smile.

The businessman from Song Kingdom snorted coldly, but he didn't bother the young scholar any more.

He just lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

Yang Qi got up slowly, and said: "Today, everyone is competing for the Kunpeng skeleton, bidding one after another, and this businessman from the Peacock Dynasty bid the highest. However, I have no intention of selling the Kunpeng skeleton today.

You are all businessmen, so you naturally understand what it means to maximize the value of an item.

Less than three days after Kunpeng's skeleton landed, some merchants who got the news but traveled a long way were still on their way.

In order not to disappoint everyone, I decided to set the date for the sale of Kunpeng's bones to be one month later.

A month later, I believe that most of the businessmen who have traveled far away should be able to arrive here.

You also have an extra month to prepare.

At that time, it is time for the real competition. "

"Clap clap~"

Yang Qi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, go down and get ready. Chen Lin, see off the guests!"

Among the businessmen, some of them were overjoyed when they heard Yang Qi's words.

They bowed together and said: "Your Majesty (His Royal Highness) is wise."

At this time, no one doubted that the young scholar was Yang Qi's trust anymore.

After saluting Yang Qi, the businessman of Song State sneered at the young scholar, then flung his sleeves and left.

Chen Lin sent everyone away, returned to the hall, and waited for orders.

Yang Qi drank tea leisurely by himself.

About half an hour passed.

The young scholar reappeared in front of Yang Qi, "My minister Liu Kaipin, see Your Majesty."

Obviously, the young scholar Liu Kaipin was entrusted by Yang Qi.

Now that Kunpeng's bones are rare goods to live in, how can Yang Qi get rid of them so easily.

The reason why Yang Qi asked those merchants to negotiate the price was to find out the value of Kunpeng's bones more intuitively.

"Get up."

Yang Qi glanced at him, and said something lightly.

After Liu Kaipin stood up straight, Yang Qi slammed his lips and said with emotion: "The acting skills are too bad, and they need to be honed in the future."

Liu Kaipin panicked and said, "I have been educated."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "I heard that you went to the Southern Kingdom after graduating from the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy. Peng Pai complained for a long time in front of me, saying that a good talent was sent to the Southern Kingdom and ruined.

What do you think? "

Liu Kaipin said seriously: "I don't feel spoiled. I learned a lot from Su Zaifu in Nanguo. The people in Nanguo are simple and simple, far better than Song and Liao."

Yang Qi nodded in satisfaction, let Liu Kaipin sit down, and asked again, "How is the grain output in the southern country? Su Yijian is okay?"

Liu Kaipin said seriously: "This season's rice can be harvested in half a month. With the agricultural tools handed down by the imperial court and the hard work of the people, this season's rice will definitely have a bumper harvest. But after the harvest, it will be transported to the country of Yan and returned to the country of Yan. It takes two months.

As for Su Zaifu..."

Speaking of this, Liu Kaipin paused for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Su Zaifu's ability to manage politics is impeccable, but his temper of being addicted to alcohol can't be changed. A few days ago, he was greedy and drank two more glasses, and he coughed continuously. Less bloodshot.

If Your Majesty communicates with Su Zaifu, please persuade him..."

Yang Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, shook his head and smiled wryly.

It is Su Yijian's nature to be addicted to alcohol, otherwise she would not become a wonderful flower recorded in history books.

The drunken prime minister has no semicolon other than that.

After a wry smile, Yang Qi said with emotion: "If persuasion is useful, I would have persuaded him a long time ago. It seems that I need to find someone to tell him to limit his drinking dose. I will properly arrange this matter.

It will take two months for the food from the southern country to arrive, and the people of Yan may not be able to wait for two months.

It seems that the bones of Kunpeng can only be used for food.

There is probably only one family that can exchange a large amount of food for Kunpeng's bones. "

"That family?"

　Thanks to 'Contentment is enough' for the reward of [-] book coins! (Don’t think it’s an exaggeration... It’s really scary to hide wealth among the people, especially the big consortia in the south. It can be said that it runs through history and lasts for a long time...)
