Chapter 296 Auction (2) Cement Formula

In the Charity Hall, all funds are open and transparent, and can completely withstand anyone's inspection. Moreover, Tianxialou itself invests a lot of money in the Charity Hall every year.Regardless of whether it is literary gambling or martial arts gambling, whether it is winning or losing money, the gambling house has no doubts about the credibility of Tianxialou.

Now that Tianxialou has released this statement, everyone can feel at ease. Antique calligraphy and paintings are easy to be fakes, and if you buy fake ones, you will lose a lot of money!

"Treasurer Yuan, since Tianxialou has spoken like this, we must believe it."

"That's right."

Seeing that there was no question raised by the old Yuan, he picked up a number plate from the auction table: "Everyone, you can look at the side of your chair, everyone has a number plate, if you find something you want, just quote the number plate , the first bid to raise the number plate, each price increase shall not be lower than usual."

Hearing what Lao Yuan said, everyone looked at their chairs one after another. Sure enough, everyone had a number plate.

Li Xiaogong sat at the very top. He just glanced at his number plate "Two" and knew that the person on the dragon chair was probably also here.

"Now that everyone knows the rules, Lao Yuan, I will be the first auction item."

Lao Yuan clapped his hands, and immediately two waiters carefully lifted up a box and placed it beside the auction table.

When Lao Yuan opened the box, he saw that the box was full of cotton. After pulling the cotton away, Lao Yuan revealed square wooden frames with double-sided glass sandwiched in the box.

The wooden frames are all made of sandalwood, but the people present are not concerned about the glass and wooden frames, but the things sandwiched by double-layer glass!
Bronze shells!

Lao Yuan picked up a frame and placed it on the auction stage, adjusted the two pieces of glass on the auction stage so that the sunlight could shine on the wooden frame, and then said: "As we all know, money is a good thing! But you know What is the earliest copper coin that appeared on the land of our Tang Dynasty?

It's a bronze shell!My master said that copper shells and gold-coated copper shells did not appear until the Shang and Zhou dynasties.Bronze began to appear in the late Shang Dynasty, and the appearance of bronze promoted the development of production and the increase of trading activities.So people looked for more suitable currency materials, and bronze coins came into being.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are the original words of my master, anyway, my old man believes it.A few days ago, because... well, I am sorry that the old man can't explain the reason, anyway, these bronze shells must be the currency of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Although they can no longer be used as copper coins, they are really rare souvenirs for me and other merchants!Even my lords, collecting such long-standing things is also a rare treasure.

This collection box was made by master Yan Liben, a master craftsman, by my master. It will not enter the water. One piece will be auctioned at a time, and there will be a total of twenty pieces. "

After finishing speaking, Lao Yuan picked up a small hammer, pointed to the first collection frame and said, "The first one, the reserve price is fifty guan!"

As soon as the old Yuan finished speaking, a wealthy businessman said directly: "One hundred guan!"

Thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly raised his number plate.

One hundred guan~

At this time, everyone hesitated. There are still nineteen things, so don’t worry at this time. Although this thing is indeed very valuable for collection, the hundred guan is not blown by a strong wind, and they don’t want to waste money on this first item. On this auction item, after all, there are better things in the back!
Ever since, there was only one businessman holding a sign in the entire auction, and the scene was weird.

Lao Yuan smiled slightly. He was not surprised by this scene. One hundred shells is one hundred shells. These bronze shells were not bought, but were blown up by Jingleisi when he was experimenting with artillery, and they were picked up for nothing. It wasn't Leng Feng who stopped him, Zhang Zhongqing threw away these bronze shells.

"The first time in a hundred times!"

"The second time in a hundred strings!"

"Third time for one hundred guan! Deal!"

Lao Yuan hit the small wooden board with a hammer. Speaking of it, he didn't quite understand why the owner asked him to hammer it with a small hammer when the deal was completed.

In the "SVIP private room", Li Shimin was eating mahua, knowing that he likes oily food, Leng Feng fried some mahua for him.

While chewing the crunchy twist, Li Shimin said, "Is this really the earliest coin?"

Leng Feng shook his head: "The earliest people actually used shells as currency, but I want to say that shells are the earliest currency, and if I take some shells to auction, do you think those merchants will buy it?"

Li Shimin shook his head, if it wasn't for Leng Feng, someone else would come and tell him that shells were the earliest currency, he would never believe it.

Turning to Longying, Li Shimin pointed to the outside and said, "Go and cut one, I want to keep it too."

Leng Feng waved Long Ying to stop, and said to Li Shimin: "You are the emperor, it's nothing to cut off one, but you have to pay a hundred guan."

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Leng Feng suspiciously, it was really interesting, it was the first time in his life that he saw someone who blatantly asked the emperor for money to settle the bill, and the others were all afraid that the emperor would not take it for nothing!
Leng Feng pointed to the outside and said: "Based on our friendship, even one million guan can be given away, but when there are established rules, no matter whether you are the emperor or not, you must abide by it, which involves the issue of people's credibility.

You are the emperor, and you are also in this auction at this time, so you have to take the responsibility of yourself and abide by the order here. "

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Although what you said is vague, there seems to be a big truth in it. It's only a hundred guan, so I'll take it."

Leng Feng smiled wryly to himself, there is no reason for that, it's just that he spontaneously resisted Li Shimin's privileged behavior, he didn't want this kind of thing that "you can do whatever you want with privilege" happen in the Tang Dynasty, even Li Shimin who has the privilege in this way.

Twenty collection boxes were sold out one by one, except for the one cut by Li Shimin, the cheapest one was the first one, and the last one was sold for [-] guan.

People's values ​​are like this. They don't care when they are easy to get, but regret it when they are almost out of reach. 200 people, 180 collection boxes, which means that [-] people will not get it, and when they think about it, they will not get it, even if they comfort themselves that the things behind are better, they can't help but bid for one.

After selling the last collection box, Lao Yuan smiled slightly, and asked someone to bring up another box. The box was very ordinary, but when he opened it, he found a white stone inside.

Naturally, Tianxialou would not be poor enough to take a piece of white stone to the auction table. Old Yuan cleared his throat, pointed to the whitestone and said, "This is a piece of whitestone. Everyone should know that we also have a cement workshop in Tianxialou. Things are most suitable for building, much better than sticky rice stones and mud for walls.

The generals of the court used this thing to build the border city wall, and the effect was surprisingly good, but there are many city walls!Our one workshop does not produce enough, so I want to share this recipe! "
