People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 96 Auction

Small nobles are limited in strength, but they can form a group.

"Dear Countess, I don't know if we can invite other people to come to the auction together. You also know that we certainly don't come here so often to buy so many excellent seeds at once."

Aurora: "Since it is a public auction, I also welcome other people to participate. But you also know that I don't like the Temple of Light, so I hope you understand what I mean."

Everyone understands.

Such an open dislike like Aurora's is rare in the world.

It seems that the Temple of Light has offended Bei Chen quite a bit, and Bei Chen has made no secret of his dislike for it.

In the face of interests, no matter how firm your beliefs are, you have to stand aside.

"Of course." Two or three nobles wiped the sweat from their foreheads. If Aurora didn't mention it, they really planned to win over the temple.

All the little nobles here smiled and said that they would not make Taylor's family unhappy.

Aurora gave them one month to prepare funds. At that time, each person could invite ten nobles to participate in the auction. Of course, the nobles could also bring their family members to the scene.

They looked around and saw that there were still so many sweet potatoes to be pulled. No wonder Aurora's manor had to build such a large wall, and she turned the barren land into a "gold mine".If I had no walls, the sweet potatoes would be stolen without growing.

At this time, they also noticed plants with white flowers next to the sweet potato border.

Ask if that is a high yielding food crop.

Aurora smiled, "It's not easy for us to find a high-yield crop and improve it. How can there be so many high-yield edible crops. Those are not for food. I am a person who is very curious about everything. See it It is similar to tree cotton, so I used it for trial planting."

Aurora spoke very generously, and she was not afraid of being known. Some of them came closer and looked at it, and it was indeed very similar to the tree cotton, which was nothing unusual, so they didn't investigate too much.

The activity of watching the sweet potato harvest came to an end, and the nobles hurried back to the territory to contact other great nobles.

As for the matter of proving the abundance of sweet potatoes, I will leave it to them.

Next, Aurora just needs to do her best to organize the auction.

Spring Square has two days off every week, and does not help with wedding matters.

It was just suitable for holding an auction. Three days before the auction, all the rented houses or hotels in Mira town were full.

Father Alza also noticed something strange, so he inquired about the news.

Obtain a magical crop called sweet potato from other nobles, and its yield is incredible.

They were a little annoyed. They ignored Aurora's warning and secretly expanded the missionary scale, saying that a miracle in the temple was about to come.
In this way, sweet potatoes, a crop that is like a miracle, must be able to get involved in the temple.

It's a pity that it's too late, they can't say that these crops are guided by the God of Light.

On the day of the auction, many men and women in gorgeous clothes walked into the spring water square with invitation stickers.

Father Arza and his disciples also came to the Spring Square by dragon carriage.

Even though they knew that offending Aurora might attract ridicule, they were reluctant to part with high-yielding crops.

As long as they get high-yield crops, they can also claim to be blessed by God.

The Bright Church can grow even stronger.

It's just that they never expected that they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the square.

The other nobles were embarrassed to tell Father Aurora's decision. Everyone thought that the other party would tell the priest, so Father Arza could only bring himself to humiliate himself.

The gatekeeper refused to enter the temple personnel, "You cannot enter."

"We are the priests and loyal believers of the Temple of Light, not pretending." Arza's apprentice showed an official smile and said kindly: "We are guided by God, and we are here to find high-yield crops. This is God's will. The Temple of Light is in There are temples everywhere, which can benefit the public faster and better. Why do you stop us?"

The gatekeeper's expression was indescribable, and the other party's rhetoric is used to deceive those who have never seen the world. Fortunately, they are professional thugs in the casino, and they are specially sent to guard the gate today.What strange people haven't seen it?Those who like to blackmail and play tricks are exactly the same as the people in front of them.

Pretending to be an expert in the world, pretending to be the Holy Father and the Holy Mother, they only realized today that the people in the Temple of Light are so greasy.

Gatekeeper: "You can't enter, of course because you have not been invited, and those without an invitation letter cannot enter."

Apprentice Alza: "..." He wanted to say something else.

Stopped by Alza, he said gently: "We don't participate in the auction, we just want to see what the crops that God has shown us look like, is that okay?"

The gatekeeper sighed, why is it so difficult to talk to people in a good voice, "Let me just say, you are not welcome at the auction, please go back."

Father Alza's apprentice has never been so aggrieved, "Father, that woman is too much."

Arza didn't speak, he could tell that time hadn't diminished Aurora's dislike for the temple, and he dragged his apprentice away.

After that, the master and apprentice did not give up, and planned to take advantage of other people's invitation letters.

But none of the nobles who had been warned in advance dared to take them in. The Taylor family was a bunch of hard bones, very stubborn, and the things they believed could not be changed.

If you rashly challenge the rules set by others, even if your majesty comes down, you will probably lose face.

The two guards behind whispered, "The people in the temple are really shameless, don't rush if you are not welcome. In the past, Beichen didn't even look at it when he was poor, but now that Beichen is rich, he immediately changed his face and wanted to come to build the church .”

"The purpose is to make money, thinking that we can't see it. I have never seen any territory that is different because of the temple. The existence of the temple is like the spiritual sustenance of the poor. Like our territory, the younger generation all Now that everyone is literate and has a job, who would think of praying to God?"

"Tsk tsk, you're right. Sunday is the activity of the poor. It doesn't matter whether you go to church or not, as long as you contribute properly, these priests don't care."

Being mercilessly poked at the back of the temple by the two gatekeepers, Arza couldn't stand it no matter how thick-skinned he was. His faith was a little shaken, but the apprentice was still thinking about Aurora's disrespect, and he would definitely be in the future. get retribution.

But this excuse was obviously thought up by them on the spur of the moment, there was no decree from God at all, Arza tried to keep his mind clear, but his apprentice kept hypnotizing him by his ears.

The news of high-yielding crops heard by other people is just a coincidence arranged by God, not fabricated by them.

Alza became firm. He is the spokesperson of God, and he cannot doubt God just because of a word or two from others. Yes, he can get news, which shows that there is God's guidance.

Afterwards, Aurora learned that Alza and the two came here unwillingly, which was a bit funny. She just didn't want to give credit to the temple. Why should the things Beichen invented and the rewards she got for doing tasks give the temple momentum.

The people in the Temple of Light are really wishful thinking, the contradictions are on the table, and they still don't leave, it's annoying.

There were a total of [-] people who came to the auction. In just one week, so many people participated in the auction. Aurora had to admire the nobles' propaganda ability.

The Quanshui Square was crowded with people, but fortunately the place was big enough and there were enough shades, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to bid against the autumn sun.

Among the 2000 people, there were two Auroras who recognized her immediately. One was her cousin, Viscount Hunter.

But beside him is not Jennifer, but a woman who looks chubby and fertile.

Aurora smiled meaningfully, wondering when this cousin would know about her infertility.

The second is Banlilu. He has a nobleman with him. The appearance of this nobleman is three points similar to Banlilu's, and his age is similar. He should be his brother or some relative.

At this time, the one calling for the auction on the stage was Daniel, who managed the casino well, and he combed his hair back.Wearing the most popular clothes nowadays, with a hammer in hand, he freely introduced the taste, nutritional benefits and, most importantly, the yield of sweet potatoes on stage.

When Daniel said that Beichen's average yield per acre was 4 jin, the audience burst into applause.

Daniel raised his palms to signal silence, and said humorously: "If you are too charming and want to reject a difficult man or woman, remember to ask him (her) to eat a sweet potato, then you will have an excuse to refuse."

The people in the audience smiled and clapped their hands, feeling that the handsome young man in front of him was very good at talking.

"Let's get down to business, let's start the first round of auctions."

The first round of [-] catties of sweet potatoes starts at auction, with a starting price of [-] gold divisions, and each time the price increases by more than [-] gold divisions.

Fifty thousand catties of sweet potatoes may seem like a lot of money, but with so much competition for territory, the average amount of sweet potatoes planted in the field is actually not much.

The nobles raised their prices cautiously at the beginning, five thousand five gold divisions, five thousand six gold divisions...

Below this, there are merchants from large chambers of commerce. They are big money, and the price increase of one hundred and one hundred is too slow.

"Eight thousand gold divisions."

There is a price increase for a large sum of money, and the nobles dare not lag behind. If the chamber of commerce gets it, it will be many times more expensive to buy it back.

"Nine Thousand Gold Division."

"Twelve thousand gold divisions."

"Thirty thousand gold divisions."

The price hikes are getting more and more intense.

Daniel pointed to Banlilu and said, "18 gold for the first time, 18 gold for the second time."

No one shouted, and everyone was frightened by the raised price.As far as food is concerned, this price is almost catching up with sugar prices, and it feels a bit high.

"18 for the third time. Deal." Daniel's hammer fell, and Ban Lilu successfully obtained [-] catties of sweet potatoes.

Everyone present had a basic psychological price in their minds. What they didn't know was that the next auction was the most intense, and it became more and more intense as it went to the back.

Banlilu took the first batch. It was Aurora who reminded him that the first batch was not taken. After that, the goods became less and less. There are more than 2000 people here, and every 40 catties are sold, a total of [-] catties. That's only eight chances.

After taking the first batch of photos, Ban Lilu felt a lot more relieved, and it was not a big problem whether the subsequent shots were taken or not.

The transaction price of the second batch was 18 gold, and the third batch was 20. It seemed to be rising steadily, but Daniel suddenly mentioned, "There are still five last auctions."

Everyone tensed up.

More than 20 [-] gold divisions may not seem like much, but they are just seeds, and the price of grain has never been comparable to this.

The fourth transaction price was 25 Jinsi, and the fifth transaction price was 30.

There are still the last three auctions, and Daniel said to take a break.

In the middle of the auction, a small ceramic teacup made of tortoise silk was auctioned.

Everyone relax.

The dizzy emotions during the auction eased.

But the price of the two things in the middle is no cheaper than sweet potatoes, especially the small set of ceramic teacups, which made the atmosphere even hotter.

There are nobles who want to take things down when they empty their pockets.

As a result, the sixth sweet potato auction dropped a little to 29 yuan, but it soared again in the seventh auction, and the bidding became more and more intense. No one would let anyone else, and they were directly called up to 40 yuan.

The eighth time reached 46 gold divisions.

After an auction, Aurora won nearly tens of millions of gold.

Everyone said congratulations, and Miguel and Aurora smiled reservedly.

The gold divisions obtained in this auction seem to be a lot, but in actual use, it is only one-tenth of the money for laying the foundation of the city, which is not enough for the city to build the gold-swallowing beast.

The people in the castle are used to Aurora's big deposits and withdrawals. Anyway, Jin Si and Purple Magic Crystal have not been kept for more than half a year, and the servants are very calm.

After the auction, Viscount Hunter, who didn't have much financial support, found Aurora, rubbed his hands and talked about the past, recalling the good times when he was a child.

Aurora answered a few words, then turned to look at the lady next to Viscount Hunter, "Cousin, is this the new sister-in-law?"

"No." Viscount Hunter thought for a while, anyway, the wicked woman in the family is definitely going to sleep, so it's okay to admit it, "Soon, she should be the new sister-in-law."

Aurora greeted the lady with a smile, without mentioning Jennifer, "Then I would like to congratulate you on your happy marriage for a hundred years and the early birth of your son."

The fat white woman smiled shyly, "Thank you for your blessing."

"This sister-in-law is not bad. Did my cousin get sweet potatoes at the auction just now? Your territory has always been rich, so you can get a share of it." Aurora mentioned the thing Viscount Hunter wanted most, Hunter The viscount immediately looked sad and angry, "Don't mention it, my family is almost ruined by your ex-sister-in-law. Can you sell me some sweet potatoes because of my friendship with you?"

Aurora covered the sneer at the corner of her mouth with her hand, "Is that so? Jennifer is too hateful. But I can't give away the sweet potatoes in the territory at will. You know, I'm a woman, and I'm from Beichen again. It's not good. Give it to you for free."

Viscount Hunter immediately understood what Aurora meant, "Don't worry, your brother, although I don't have much money, I do have a lot of jewelry. As long as you are willing to give me a thousand catties of sweet potatoes, you can choose the jewelry you brought over this time."

"It's impossible to weigh a thousand catties, but only three hundred catties. For the sake of my new sister-in-law's eyesight, my cousin gave me the sapphire necklace in the shape of a crescent moon, and the sum is considered equal. The necklace father said It's just a piece of jewelry he gave to my mother, I like it very much, but it's a pity that Jennifer took it away at the time, won't my cousin not get it back?" Aurora said pitifully.

Viscount Hunter kept searching for this piece of jewelry in his mind, and it seemed that it was still in the jewelry box he brought.

The string of jewelry is very beautiful, and it really fits the girl's aesthetics. The price is not very expensive in jewelry, nor is it cheap.

But three hundred catties of sweet potatoes are much more expensive than that necklace.

Viscount Hunter agreed without thinking, "I'll get someone to bring you the necklace later."
