It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 46 Digging ancestral graves and changing genealogy
  The prefect has brought the Holy Spirit's decree and is holding an auction. The person with the highest bid will win the auction.

Luo Youjin was confused. Who can tell him what the auction means?
  Looking at the two of them, they looked confident, as if they were ridiculed for not having seen the world. Luo Youjin also puffed up his chest and said: "The auction is an auction, and I, Luo Youjin, am determined to win the inscriptions and plaques given by the saints."

The prefect nodded, "To ensure fairness, this auction will be personally presided over by the prefect."

Seeing Luo Youjin's expression of ignorance and pretending to understand, Prefect He Maren really wanted to laugh. The method of the auction was what the Holy Shang Shang just told him, and he, a simple old man, pretended to know everything.

If you really knew him that well, you should have noticed that the two people who came to bid against him were both members of the emperor.

He glanced at Luo Youjin sympathetically. This guy was destined to suffer a serious loss of vitality. However, his uncooperative behavior caused unrest among the people and made His Majesty really unhappy.

The auction, a new format that had never appeared before, attracted countless people to watch as soon as it was released.

The prefect had three small tables moved to Luo Youjin and the others, and another person was given a small sign.

"Ahem, Governor, this is...?"

Although Luo Youjin didn't want to admit it, he still felt that his money was more important than his face at this time, and he didn't want to lose his money without knowing where it was.

Hemaren waved his hand to his subordinate, who took a step forward and read: "The rules of this auction are as follows: the three bidders participating in the auction each have one card, number 1, number 2, and number 3, and the auction items are The plaque inscribed by the Holy Spirit will be awarded to the highest bidder. The price will be increased by one thousand taels each time. All proceeds from this auction will be donated to the victims of the southwest border."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd burst into excited screams, and the people shouted long live the emperor. Jiang Simian and the other two were deeply moved when they saw this.

Soon, the auction started, and the prefect said loudly: "The plaque is given by the Holy Emperor, and the starting price is ten thousand taels of silver."

"I offer eleven thousand taels," Luo Youjin hurriedly raised his sign.

"One thousand taels? That's ridiculous. Are you going to repay the richest man like this? I'll pay you 30,000 taels," the young man said, holding up a sign.

"I think what the young master said is true. Even if it is to benefit the people in the southwest border, I am willing to pay 50,000 taels of silver," the old man said.

Luo Youjin looked devastated. It's not because you spent too much money. The prefect said that you can just add one thousand at a time. Come on, don't say one thousand, not even ten thousand. Just add twenty thousand to twenty thousand.

The disdainful look in the young man's eyes and the disgust on the old man's face rarely aroused Luo Youjin's desire to win.

"I'll pay you one hundred thousand taels!" Luo Youjin was thinking, I'll scare you all to death.

Unexpectedly, the two of them remained unmoved.

Young man: Has it increased to 50,000? Okay, I'll pay 150,000!
  Old Man: I’m here to accompany you too, I’ll give you 200,000!

Luo Youjin is crazy, that's not what I meant.

But for the imperial plaque, I could only bear the pain of paying an additional 50,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Soon the price reached 85.

The old man said hesitantly: "That's all. I am withdrawing from this competition, maybe because I have no chance to write an inscription from the Holy One, but I will continue to support the people everywhere. Thank you for your support."

After saying that, the old man turned around and walked away, waving his sleeves without leaving a tael of silver behind.

The young man also looked serious.

"If it doesn't work, just give up. Don't lose all your family property just to fight for reputation," Luo Youjin said angrily.

The young man seemed to be irritated by him, and he shouted loudly, "I'm offering 95!" Luo Youjin felt his heart stopped. Wasn't it reduced to ten thousand or ten thousand just now? How come it was increased to one hundred thousand? .

I began to ponder over and over in my mind whether I should give up too, after all, this was so much money.

"What, the old guy is dying? Can't the family fortune survive? If not, get out of here quickly, don't affect the Holy Spirit's gift to me." The young man rolled his eyes.

"Are you looking at me like that?! If you can, increase it to one million. If I increase it to one million, I will never argue with you. If I bow my head and admit my mistake, I will get out."

Luo Youjin was furious at this moment. The young man's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The latter shouted at the top of his lungs, "I will pay one million!"

The young man looked at him for a few seconds and nodded, "You're good, I'm sorry, I'm leaving."

After saying that, the young man disappeared into the crowd without leaving a single tael of silver behind.

The only one who took out one million was Luo Youjin, who was about to cry.

He was holding on to the hem of the prefect's clothes and wouldn't let go, "Uuuuuu~ Lord Prefect, it's too hard for me!"

The prefect He Maren pulled out his clothes with a look of disgust on his face and said, "My clothes are stained with snot, it's new."

Then he raised his head and announced to everyone with excitement, "Let us congratulate Mr. Luo Youjin on the successful auction and a plaque given by the emperor. It will be sent to Mr. Luo's house after the inscription is made later."

Luo Youjin burst into tears with excitement, "Dad, Grandpa, have you seen it? Don't blame me for being unfilial. I am so proud that my plaque can only be placed in front of you two in the future."

As excited as Luo Youjin was the prefect He Maren. This one million taels of silver was enough to alleviate the current situation in the southwest border, not to mention there were more than a dozen small lists, and each of the saints had arranged such a show At the auction, Luo Youjin must have set a good example, and other wealthy businessmen will not be willing to lag behind.

in the crowd.

"How do you know he will definitely call for 100 million? If he doesn't call, the 95 taels will be taken out of the treasury." Yuan Qifeng was curious about where Jiang Simian's confidence came from.

"This is called game theory," Jiang Simian said with a smile.

Yuan Qifeng wanted to ask what this meant, but when he saw Jiang Simian looking at him with a smile in his eyes, he swallowed it back and nodded as if he suddenly understood, "I see, I thought too little."

Jiang Simian patted her shoulder and said, "No, you think too much. Let's go back and write for others."

Soon, while other small lists were still vying for the top spot, a plaque covered with red cloth was personally escorted by the prefect to the Luo family. This move greatly aroused everyone's competitive spirit, and the bids were higher one by one. , one is happier than the other.

Luo Youjin, who received the plaque, knelt down and shouted long live. He didn't expect the emperor to be so efficient. As soon as he took out his own money, the reward arrived.

Nervously lifting the red cloth, Luo Youjin's breath froze, and he saw four big words written on the plaque: Big brother on the list.

Luo Youjin is crazy. The emperor calls him eldest brother? !
  What kind of honor is this? !

This would require digging the earliest ancestor of the Luo family out of the ground and lying in it himself.

"Let's go back to the ancestral hall," Luo Youjin greeted.

"What happened, sir, so you are so anxious?"

"Go back and dig up your ancestral graves to change your family tree!"
