Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 150 Little Grandpas, Pick Up Guests
"Eight...8 taels?" Before Zhu Su had any reaction, Xu Yungong who was sitting across from him stood up in surprise.

He knows about glass. There is thick smoke rising every day in the valley behind Zhuangzi under the control of a group of disabled veterans. It is said that glass is being refined.The glass mirror in the room of His Highness the Fifth Highness who can illuminate the person is so delicate that even he, a little prince, is greedy. How can he not know that this glass is a good thing?

But twenty pieces of glass products can be sold for 8 taels?The little father-in-law, who is proficient in arithmetic, immediately calculated that each piece would cost at least four thousand...

hiss!Even if glass is a good thing, isn't it too outrageous to sell 4000 taels for one piece?Looking at the merchants who filed out of the garden with regrets, and even beating their chests because they didn't buy them, Xu Yungong felt for the first time that he, the little prince of Wei Guogong's mansion, was a bumpkin: such an expensive thing, there is really such a thing. Are many people rushing to buy it?

"Uncle Wu, what is the process of this auction?" Li Jinglong noticed the blind spot and asked Zhu Su.Even the ancient relics from the Qin and Han Dynasties did not sell so expensively, the reason must be the word "auction".

"You go find Shen Wang yourself later, and let him talk to you." Zhu Su waved his hand, but he was a little bit disappointed.For this auction, I asked Shen Rong to post a post in advance to invite the big gentry and nobles of Yingtian to come to the mansion for a banquet. Of course, the main point is actually to ask Shen Rong to show the three-foot-high glass seated Buddha in front of the main hall of the Shen Family Buddha Hall .In order to best show the extraordinaryness of this seated Buddha, Zhu Su personally performed the operation and used various optical props to illuminate the seated Buddha to ensure that it must be shining from any angle. The most amazing thing is that whenever the sun shines When sitting in the Buddhist hall, the sunlight penetrates the sitting Buddha and reflects on the screen wall, and the colorful Buddha light surges behind the sitting Buddha's head, just like the real Buddha came to the world.

People in the south worship Buddha. According to Shen Rong's report, when someone saw this wonderful scene, they were shocked and knelt down on the ground to pay respects.After returning, he spread the mysteries of the Shen family's glass Buddha to his neighbors.It can be seen that the publicity was very successful.When everyone in Yingtian Mansion was extremely curious about the origin of the seated Buddha, Zhu Su let people release the news that there would be glass seated Buddhas available for purchase at the auction. Logically speaking, everyone should be flocking to them.You, a merchant from the Shen family, can invite a Buddha to bless your heirs, but my Zhang Sanjia and Li Sijia can also invite you?
With such a big campaign, the result was only 8 taels...

He couldn't help whispering unhappily: "It's only 8 taels. Sure enough, those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River haven't reached the point where pearls are embedded in the earth and gold is like iron..."

The expectations were raised by the auction plots of other traversers, and I thought that this auction would at least bring back tens of thousands of taels at a time.

Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong who were sitting across from each other were already dumbfounded, they didn't understand the others, but the two of them sat closer to hear the phrase "only 8 taels".The eunuch Xiang Deng had already called out to Zhuang Tianqu: "Oh, my little ancestor, 8 taels is still too little? This silver sea can directly bury me to death as an old slave!"

"It's Shen Er's family background. Seeing this amount, his legs trembled, and he is still paralyzed on the chair in the backstage!"

Shen Er is Shen Wang, the second child of the Shen family, and he handles all of Shen Jia Nuo's business accounts.Such a battle between the two big businessmen who have seen the world is frightened, which shows that this is indeed a large number.

"So, I'm really greedy." Zhu Su closed the "Caiyuan Guangjin" fan, that's all, and sold 100 taels of things that cost less than 8 taels, so there's nothing he can't be satisfied with.After all, I was eager for quick success and quick benefits, and the water flowed steadily, and I didn't just make money by selling glass.

Using the glass Buddha as a gimmick to attract people is just the beginning.

"Jiujiang, Yungong. Have you had enough tea?"

"It's time for the guests to come too. Let's go out with His Highness to pick up the guests!"

"Ah... ah?" Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong looked at each other. His Highness's greeting seemed to be urging sister-in-law to go to work.

By the way, what kind of customers did they ask them to pick up?
……

"Ah! Yuanwai Lu! Congratulations! The glazed Buddha you captured in your hand is really beautiful! I'm so envious!"

At the entrance of Yuanzi, a few unsuccessful businessmen recognized a buyer who had taken a picture of the glazed Buddha, and they couldn't help congratulating with sour hands.

"To invite such a Buddha back to the Buddhist hall, it is truly magnificent!"

"Tsk tsk, that Buddha's light, I don't know how much karma it can clear up for the family! Blessed is Lu Yuanwai!"

"You don't want to change a thousand pieces of gold! Tsk tsk. It's a pity that you don't have enough financial resources, but let Lu Yuanwai take the lead..."

"Is Lu Yuanwai willing to give up? I think about it now, and I always feel that it's a big loss because I didn't increase the price just now. I would like to add another 100 taels..."

"100 taels is really stingy. If Lu Yuanwai is willing to give up, I would like to add 200 taels!"

Of the twenty glazed Buddhas, nineteen of them were taken by Xungui.The noble children who came to participate in the auction all had red eyes after seeing the "Buddha light" refracted by the sun. Putting such a Buddha statue at home will surely dispel the karma of the elders in the family fighting in battle.These businessmen dare not rob others.

The only one that did not fall into Xungui's hands was bought by this Lu Yuanwai.Then someone wanted to add some money to buy this Buddha statue...

"Hey, give up? Let's see if you dare or not!" The businessman surnamed Lu couldn't help but feel complacent when he heard the sour tone in everyone's words, and some even wanted to increase the price to buy.

"Where can such a true Buddha boy be blessed? This time, he was actually ordered to take pictures, and he was going to honor him in the Buddhist hall of the Hou Mansion and pray for the future blessings of Lord Hou."

"My Lord Marquis, please see His Highness the Fifth Highness in Huangzhuang now!"

Everyone yelled in unison.No wonder this Lu Tieji was willing to pluck out so many hairs today, it turned out that he was ordered by his master.This Lu Yuanwai was originally a domestic slave of the Marquis of Ji'an.In addition to being a slave and relying on the waist of the Hou Mansion to come out to do business for the Hou Mansion, he also has a 2-minute trick, and he has made a big family business in just a few years.

However, this person has no taboos in his actions, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of ghosts and gods.Being unlucky and extremely stingy, his willingness to pay a large price for this glazed Buddha is beyond everyone's expectations.Now that Fang knew that it was Ji Anhou who ordered it himself, Fang showed a look of sudden realization.

Is it what Ji Anhou wants?No wonder Lu Tieji was so cheerful today.Marquis Ji'an won the favor of the emperor, and merchants like them cannot provoke them. Those who wanted to pester Lu Tieji to increase the price had to shut their mouths tightly.

So far, we can only hope for the next auction.

The focus of attention was removed from the auction, and some merchants immediately discovered the unusualness of this village.Someone looked at the concrete road under their feet, and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, the stones used by the Zhuangzi to pave the road are so extravagant! They are so hard and smooth that they are no less than blue stones. Could it be that they found a stone mountain to excavate stones? How much money will it cost?"

"Haven't Ma Yuanwai heard of it? The road in Bifeng Huangzhuang was repaired by His Highness Wu Wang with a new method. I studied it quietly when the auction started. The things on the ground look like stones but not stones. They should be a new material." ! From my point of view, Liuli is nothing, and this thing on the ground is the biggest source of income!"

"Shh, keep quiet! Don't be overheard! It is said that His Majesty said in the court meeting that His Highness King Wu is a child of a god and man. I am afraid that this statement is true. This is the way His Highness learned from the gods!"

"The Shen family followed His Highness. I used to laugh at him for digging his own grave, but now it looks like a great opportunity! Whether it is the auction or this road, there are great business opportunities. People who want to get a share in His Highness Wu's business There must be a lot of people there. Don’t wait for me to raise my voice, but the fewer colleagues who realize it, the better!”

While talking, he was a little hungry.After going out of the city early in the morning to participate in this auction, there has been no rice except for a few cups of tea, and the stomachs of many merchants are growling.Seeing that Lu Tieji Shi Shi ran into a building next to the garden, everyone belatedly realized that there was a huge restaurant next to the garden.

"Let's go! Let's go eat some food!" The hunger was unbearable, and they were faintly aware of the difficulty in this village, thinking that they would continue to walk around after eating, and most of the merchants felt very natural Go to the restaurant.Although this place is close to the city, it will take several hours. If you go back to the city and have a meal, you will starve to death.The people who came here today were either noble children or wealthy businessmen, all of them were pampered people, did An Neng suffer this crime?
"Huh?" The horseman looked at the back of Lu Tieji who walked into the restaurant, and suddenly exclaimed.

Why does Lu Tieji's entourage look a bit like the housekeeper of Prime Minister Hu's residence?
"What's the matter, Ma Yuanwai?" A businessman who was close to him asked.

"...Nothing, maybe I was wrong."

How could a third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the majestic steward of the prime minister's mansion, be the long-term follower of a merchant?Ma Yuanwai shook his head, amused by the absurd thoughts popping up in his mind.
