Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 360 Auction of Perfume

Seeing that Liu Fu got in touch with Princess Gao Yang so easily, everyone present regretted it to some extent.

Only needing to spend [-] coins, you can leave a good impression on the princess of "repaying you with kindness", and get a promise from her by the way. No matter how you calculate it, this deal is worth it!

As for what Liu Fu said before about offending Ling Tailang, almost no one would believe it, because in everyone's opinion, Ling Tailang was just an eighth-rank official position.

If in a remote small county, the eighth-rank official might still be considered a big man, but in Chang'an, the capital of a country, the eighth-rank official can only be regarded as a "little guy".

Now Liu Fu is using the name of such a "little guy" to set up a relationship with Princess Gao Yang. As Princess Gao Yang, can he really go to Lingtai Lang in order to confirm the truth of the matter?
This is obviously impossible.

And the fact is exactly the same, Gao Yang happily accepted Liu Fu's gift, she didn't even ask Lingtai Lang's name, everyone could see that all she cared about was Royal Yulu.

After thinking about this, many people present felt a little regretful.

After all, the reason of repaying kindness can only be used once. Although Gao Yang is only a little girl about 12 years old, she will still be suspicious if two people want to repay her kindness one after another.

What's more, Gao Yang has already got three bottles of perfume, if she wants to rely on perfume to gain favor, the effect will definitely not be as good as before.

However, everyone did not lose interest in the perfume because of this episode, on the contrary, they are more determined to get the remaining 27 bottles of perfume!

"Even King Jin and Princess Gaoyang hope to get Royal Jade Dew so much, which shows how precious it is. As long as you can buy it, whether you use it for yourself or use it to make friends with others, it is a very good choice!"

In an instant, whether it was nobles, descendants of aristocratic families, or businessmen who came in with money to buy temporary pass tokens, all the people present looked at Gao Ming eagerly.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly grinned.

"I didn't expect this little girl Gao Yang to bring me such a surprise, um, then I'll treat her better in the future!"

Just when Gao Ming thought of this, Wu Mei came out with a tray again, as before, the tray was still covered with golden silk, and there were three bottles of perfume on the silk.

As soon as she came out, she immediately attracted hundreds of eyes. Of course, what everyone looked at was not her, but the tray in her hand.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gao Ming smiled again.

"I won't say more. It's still the same as last time. The base price is [-] guan, and each increase must not be less than [-] guan. Everyone is equal before the auction. I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically!"

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately slapped the table.

"Okay, the auction begins!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the crowd below became lively again.

"I offer five hundred guan!"

"I offer six hundred guan!"

"I pay seven hundred..."

Soon, the price of the second batch of perfume exceeded [-] guan, and finally sold at the price of [-] guan, which was [-] guan higher than the first one.

Like Liu Fu before, this person had already put the money with Yun'er, so the transaction was very quick.

In fact, silver is not the common currency of the Tang Dynasty. The common currency of the Tang Dynasty is copper coins, and its purchasing power is not bad. A copper coin can buy many things.

For example, two or three catties of grain, or a few pears, or a big mustard cake weighing one catty...

For ordinary people, copper coins are enough for them to use. Frugal families can spend less than [-] Wen for food and clothing a year, and two coins are enough for them to live.

Because of this, gold and silver were generally only used as luxuries in the Tang Dynasty, such as being made into jewelry, and few people would use them as currency.

But it's different now, because everyone knows that the things in the Royal Club of Tang Dynasty are not cheap, even the prices of tea and wine are in units of "guan", so this time they bought perfume, Simply bring the money directly.

In fact, the value of silver today has begun to decline, and one tael of silver can only be exchanged for nine hundred Wen in the folks.

Gao Ming also knew this, so he encouraged everyone to use silver in the Royal Club, and used the method of recycling a large amount of silver to stabilize the market and pave the way for future currency reforms.

In fact, Gao Ming's doing so also met everyone's needs. After all, Datang's copper coins were really too heavy.

Datang's consistent money weighs about seven or eight catties, but a tael of silver is only 42 grams.

So in everyone's opinion, Gao Ming's ability to allow them to use silver is to provide them with great convenience.

Many people have even secretly decided that after they go back, they will take out some of the copper coins stored at home and exchange them for silver for use in the Royal Club.

And this is exactly what Gao Ming wanted.

As the auction progressed, the bottles of perfume were exchanged by Gao Ming for crates of silver, and the nobles and businessmen who bought the perfume also showed satisfied smiles, and it was a happy situation.

Soon, the auction came to an end. When Wu Mei came out of the house with a tray again, everyone's expressions became a little serious.

Because they know that this is the last three bottles.

Seeing the expressions of the people below, Gao Ming secretly smiled, but he still put on a bit of seriousness on his face.

"Everyone, everyone must know that these are the last three bottles of Royal Jade Dew. In the name of my crown prince, I assure you that all the perfumes except for these three bottles already have owners."

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately sighed, then shook his head.

"I think everyone knows that the peony flowers are almost all withered now, so these three bottles of Royal Yulu with peony fragrance are also the last three bottles to be auctioned this year."

"hiss……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, all the people present gasped, and then discussed again.

"Now that the peony flowers have withered, doesn't that mean that if you miss the last three bottles, you have to wait for next year?"

"It should look like this, luckily I already bought it, haha!"

"I haven't bought it yet, no, I must get these three bottles!"

The value of what is rare is universal no matter in any era, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, those present who did not buy perfume became excited again.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gao Ming was almost too supportive and excited, so he "slapped" the table again.

"The last three bottles of Huangjia Yulu with the fragrance of peony flowers are now up for auction!"
