After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 198 The Last Auction Item
Now she finally understood why the price of the salt was raised so high.

The ancient technology of cold-making table salt may indeed be one of the reasons, but the culprit for the shortage of table salt is probably this "border town".

The one or two cities close to the capital are not so expensive, probably because they are afraid of arousing the suspicion of the court. On the contrary, the closer the border towns are, the more serious the shortage and high price of salt will be.

Meng Liangchen looked at Boss Zhang half-jokingly, and said: "Why, Boss Zhang came so early, does he already know about this? Want to get a share too?"

Boss Zhang's complexion was a little ugly at the moment, and he gave Meng Liangchen an unbelievable look.

"In Boss Meng's eyes, I, Zhang, am actually this kind of person?"

Meng Liangchen smiled and said, "Just kidding, Brother Zhang, don't take it seriously."

Boss Zhang sighed, and said: "You also know that the shortage of salt is not a day or two in Damu. I am also involved in this kind of business on weekdays. I have been unable to get the goods, and I am also anxious, so I want to come in person Take a look. People can't eat salt, and I can't see it either, when the salt is available first, isn't it up to us to decide the price?"

Meng Liangchen gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Brother Zhang is big!"

Boss Zhang smiled naively, paused and said: "But looking at today's situation, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to deal with!"

Too many people!This is probably the businessmen of the whole Damu, maybe not only the merchants of Damu.

Meng Liangchen thought for a moment, anyway, she had to take down this batch of salt no matter what.

She looked at Boss Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang, how about our cooperation?"

Boss Zhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Okay!"

The auction started soon. To Meng Liangchen's surprise, although there were many people watching, there were not many who actually increased the price. Only after the first round of auctions were sold, did they find out that they rushed in. It turned out that it was not just a batch of salt. auction!
After the entire auction, nearly fifty boatloads of salt were auctioned.

No matter how many tons of salt are loaded on each big ship, the amount of salt is not small at all!However, when it is dispersed in various places, and then shipped to dealers in various places, the price will be raised, which will cause a shortage of salt.

At the end of the salt auction session, Boss Zhang sighed, very satisfied.

"It's not in vain, but they are really tight."

Meng Liangchen looked at him unexpectedly, and asked, "What do you say?"

Boss Zhang said in a low voice: "Don't look at the amount of table salt today, but in fact it's not even half of their inventory. It's just to form a marketing method to starve you! Let you come back next time!"

Meng Liangchen suddenly realized that this method was similar to hunger marketing.

At this moment, Mu Ze, who was standing aside, finally couldn't bear to watch anymore, and a cold gaze swept over Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang suddenly felt a chill on his back, and quickly raised his head to look around and found no one, but the feeling seemed to be stuck to him, and he moved back involuntarily.

"Well, I'm done filming, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll be leaving tomorrow."

Meng Liangchen asked in surprise, "So anxious?"

Boss Zhang nodded, and said: "Night Changed has many dreams, it's not on your own chassis, it's better to be careful, you guys should go back soon! There will be a period later!"

After he finished speaking, he left as if oiling the soles of his feet.

Meng Liangchen and the others also photographed a few ships, and they planned to see what happened when they went to inspect the goods tomorrow.

And just when they were about to go back to the room, there was another gong sound from the audience, which attracted the attention of everyone who was about to leave.

Meng Liangchen and the others stopped in their tracks, and turned their heads to look strangely.

Lianyi asked curiously, "Isn't the filming over already?"

Murong Shu lay back on his stomach again, poking his head down: "Look again!"

Standing behind her, Meng Liangchu frowned and took a step forward.

At this moment, Xiao Er, who was beating the gong, shouted loudly: "An auction has begun! Please come to the auction!"

And auction items?The previous [-] auctions all used a model of a ship as an auction exhibit. Is there anything different this time?

Just when everyone sat back and was curious about what the auction item was, the heavy rolling sound of the roller slowly entered everyone's ears.

At this time, Mu Ze set his eyes on the person sitting in the middle of the front row.

The man was dressed in a blue forged brocade suit, with a fair face, and his attire showed the demeanor of a rich man.

He holds a folding fan in his hand and always has a smile on his face, which looks like he is wearing a mask.His expression at this time was full of interest, and the light in his eyes became even brighter.

A big wooden cage was pushed up, and when everyone saw clearly that the person lying inside was actually a person, the surprised discussions instantly soared to the point of deafening!

"Is there a person in there?"

"Yes! Dead or alive?"

"It must be alive! The dead ones are being auctioned off? They've already been thrown into mass graves!"

The people's discussion sounded into the ears of Meng Liangchen and the others, leaving them stunned!

Isn't the point that there is a living person inside? !

Meng Liangchu frowned and took a step forward, grabbed the railing upstairs and looked down, his eyes couldn't help being shocked.

How could it happen that the auction item is a person? !
Everyone was a little silent, all with serious faces.

At this moment, the cage was placed in the center of the stage, and one of the men who pushed the cage held a whip and slapped the man in the cage hard.

The sound of the whipping on the body was harsh and shocking. The person who was lying motionless in the cage moved slightly under the whipping.

Evidently alive, but no louder cries of pain could be made.

Meng Liangchen's eyes were red, he was holding on to the railing in front of him tightly, Lianyi and Murong Shu couldn't stand it anymore, they turned around and went down to save others.

"It's too much! Do you still treat it like a human being!"

Although they lived in the palace since they were young, and they would punish the maids and eunuchs in the palace, they never thought that there would be people who would not treat people as human beings and be kept in cages like animals!

Mu Ze said in a cold voice: "Wait a little longer!"

Hearing Mu Ze speak, the two turned their heads to look downstairs unwillingly, really worried that the person in the cage would die in the next moment.

Who the hell is that!

The beating of the gong was heard again, and Xiaoer shouted loudly: "Auction a slave! Male! Anyone who is interested, please participate in the auction!"

Downstairs was quiet and no one was bidding.

At this time, someone in the crowd said: "No one knows what it is, what can be photographed?"
