Datang Longya

Chapter 399
Do you think a piece of white bear skin is enough for Duke Zhao's mansion?Who stipulated that a family can only get one?

Lao Yuan didn't think anything different about the eldest grandson's re-bid, just like what the eldest grandson said, Zhao Guogong's mansion is really not short of money.

A quarter of Datang’s iron-making workshops bear the sign of Changsun’s family. Although the iron-smelting project is not very rich, it cannot stand the scale. Controlling a quarter of the entire Datang’s iron-smelting workshop is enough to compete with the world. The scale of the building challenged the board.

Don't look at Changsun Wuji's lack of publicity every day, in fact, his financial resources are among the best in the court.

As an old friend of Li Shimin, the most reliable subordinate when he was in the residence, and one of the most important courtiers at present, eh, and brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji is the most popular one in the court.

Therefore, it is not unusual for him to be able to receive such great preferential treatment.

Seeing that the eldest grandson butler offered nine thousand guan, the fur merchant raised his number plate without hesitation: "Thirteen thousand guan!"

"Ah………"

Everyone gasped in unison, thirteen thousand?A total of [-] guan was added. Although everyone present was rich, such an act of spending a lot of money was still shocking enough.

Glancing at the fur merchant, the eldest grandson steward dropped the number plate, and this time, eldest grandson Wuji gave him the right to use 1 guan.Excluding the previous [-] guan, there are only [-] guan. This fur merchant's price increase has exceeded his current maximum transfer amount.Therefore, he can only withdraw from the competition.

The fur trader looked worriedly at the people around him. To be honest, he raised the price by [-] at a time. He just wanted to deter everyone and prevent others from slowly raising the price too high.

After all, he is determined to win this one.

The silk merchant in Jiangnan next to him thought for a long time, until the old man shouted "[-] guan for the second time!", he held up his number plate: "[-]...[-] guan!"

The old man was inexplicably surprised. To be honest, as long as the white bear skin sells for 2000 guan, it is a good price. This means that more than [-] soldiers, almost everyone can get [-] guan.

"Fifteen thousand guan! Fang shopkeeper gave out [-] guan! Are there any more? Ladies and gentlemen, look at this white bear skin, this is not ordinary! My landlord said that this came from half a year's dark night, It is unknown whether there will be a strange place in the daytime for half a year, and it is the first time in [-] pens!"

The old man was spitting out of his voice, and now he finally knew why the auctioneer said by the master that he couldn't spit was not a good auctioneer.

The atmosphere of the auction is entirely driven by the auctioneer, and the auctioneer is not crazy, so why should the people below be crazy too?
If the people below are not crazy, who would jump up and bid high?

Seeing the excited old man, everyone involuntarily became excited. Shopkeeper Yang, a Heluo businessman, involuntarily raised his number plate: "[-] guan!"

He didn't get a single auction item last time. Although he has already bought two leathers this time, he wants to get the final white bear skin!
The fur trader didn't expect there to be troublemakers, so he trembled in his heart: "Eighteen thousand guan!"

This price is already a bit outrageous, if someone raises the price, he will wait for the next one.

[-] guan, this is [-] guan higher than the reserve price. It is already worth more than what you have when it has climbed to this height. Whether it is a businessman or an official housekeeper, they all shook their heads. They couldn't afford it.

The old man picked up the auction hammer: "It's [-] guan! Is there a higher one? [-] guan for the first time! [-] guan for the second time, and [-] guan for the third time! Deal!"

With the hammer that Lao Yuan dropped, this bear skin was actually sold at a price of [-] guan. Lao Yuan was so excited that he missed a word in each of the last two quotations.

As the hammer fell, the fur trader also heaved a sigh of relief, and sat back on the stool. He was not going to make this bear skin into clothes, but to fill it up like Lao Yuan did, and put it in the Chang'an head office as a store. field.

Afterwards, people talked about the white bear skins auctioned by Tianxialou, but he, a fur merchant, didn't have any. Isn't it a drop in price?

After removing this bear skin, Lao Yuan asked someone to take the second one...

Seeing the fierce bidders, the eldest grandson housekeeper couldn't help but secretly delighted. He was really shrewd in taking the first one at the reserve price. Look at the price of these finale bear skins.

After bidding the second one at the price of [-] guan, the old man asked someone to take the third one.

This one is obviously one size bigger than the others. Lao Yuan patted the bear skin and said, "This one was hunted and killed by King Hejian himself. It is a circle bigger than the others, so the base price is ten thousand. Pass!"

It is useless to say the reserve price now, because people off the market will fry it to a higher price than the reserve price.

Before the crowd with bloodshot eyes began to bid, a sharp voice suddenly came from the corner: "Master Yuan, this bear skin is not bad, and the miscellaneous family is going to take it for [-] yuan, how about it?"

After the voice came out, the number plates that everyone was ready to hold up at any time couldn't help but put them back. The self-proclaimed "Miscellaneous Family" seemed, seemed, possible.

Is it only used by eunuchs?
Butler Changsun turned his head to the direction of the sound, and saw a man with a white face and no Adam's apple sitting on a chair in the corner.

This is obviously a eunuch.

Ordinary eunuchs are not eligible to participate in the auction, even those sent by concubines and princes are impossible, but he just sits there, so this one is likely to be sent by one of the three highest-ranking people in the world.

And those three people, none of them are easy to mess with.

As soon as the eunuch spoke, everyone froze. How could someone without any scheming be able to stand up to the business or become the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion?
Since this person wants to take it away at a price of [-] guan, then take it, as long as the person behind you, the dead eunuch, is happy, even taking away the guanquan is not a problem!
The old man frowned: "I only recognize Wuming in the palace, which one are you?"

The eunuch patted the dust that didn't exist on his chest: "The miscellaneous family's surname is Liu, and he is a servant in the Ye Ting Bureau who is not a sixth-rank servant. He is not a person. You are laughing at me!"

Six products?It is true that he is not popular, and this is just that he is not popular in the normal official system. If he is an eunuch, tsk tsk tsk, how can he climb to the sixth rank if he is not a celebrity in front of the emperor?

Invisibly, everyone couldn't help labeling this eunuch Liu as "untouchable".

Eunuchs are a job that is a hundred times more humiliating to their ancestors than businessmen. No one looks down on them, but if they are good eunuchs, that's another matter.
